Enter, abandon all hope!

  This is an exceptionally vast region, and at a glance, it's impossible to see the edge. Above this region, there is a thick layer of white clouds covering it, and vaguely visible are the edges of the region peeking out from under the clouds, but it's impossible to see what this region actually looks like, completely shrouded, unable to discern reality from illusion.

  "Where is this?" someone asked, at this moment, dozens of people including Yun Feng were circling in the air on eagle-horned beasts. A royal noble from the Jia Ye Empire and that young royal who Yun Feng saw that day were leading the way in front, closely followed by the Jia Ye Kingdom's participating team, and then the participating teams from the other three major empires.

  As the last three major imperial teams saw the ground below shrouded in thick fog, the core figures of each team couldn't help but furrow their brows and gaze down with a serious expression. Yun Feng was no exception. For some reason, he felt that this shrouded region would have many unexpected things. The fact that it was covered so tightly made him wonder what would appear in this region.

  The eagle-like creature leading the way for the Kaya Empire suddenly flew down and leaped into the thick white fog, with the Kaya Empire's team closely following behind. The other three countries also followed suit, despite feeling a bit tense in their hearts. More than a dozen eagle-like creatures quickly leaped into what seemed to be a very thick cloud layer. Yun Feng looked at the white fog surrounding her body and couldn't help but think of the Grand Rift Valley, where the sky was filled with white fog. However, the white fog in the Grand Rift Valley was accompanied by high temperatures, whereas this fog was cold and felt like passing through ice.

  The white fog in front of him dispersed instantly, and Yun Feng also saw the reality under the fog - a high and low mountain range that stretched far and wide. Within this vast region, there were many broken walls and ruins. Yun Feng's black eyes scanned the scene, and his expression suddenly froze.

  "This is...". Yun Feng gazed at the vast expanse before him, and the scenery that could be seen from this vantage point. The stone walls, the different road marks, some intersecting, some parallel, all leading to what seemed like an endless distance. Yun Feng blinked his eyes, and the other two national team members also saw it, although they only caught a glimpse of one corner, they could still guess the general idea from this corner. Here, there was actually a maze of such enormous size!

  The Griffin landed on the ground, and Yun Feng jumped off its back. In that instant, he saw two people who seemed to have been waiting there for a long time. Yun Feng blinked his eyes, with a smile at the corner of his mouth. Not bad, another familiar face.

  A noble from the Kayah imperial family stepped forward and greeted the two, then loudly said, "The Four Nations Tournament being held in Kayah this time is a great honor for our country. The Four Nations Tournament is an exchange of strength between the four nations, a friendly competition between the four nations. Although it's called an exchange and a competition, at the end of the day, it's still a match. A match must be conducted with fairness and openness as its principles. Therefore, this time Kayah has invited these two as arbitrators, Vice-President Ronran of the Mercenary Guild's Karan branch."

  Zheng Ran nodded to everyone, his gaze lingering on Yun Feng's body for a few seconds, with a smile in his eyes. Yun Feng also smiled and said, "There is one more person, it took a lot of effort from Jia Ye to invite him here, the vice president of the Magic Association's Kalan branch, Mr. Bi Xing."

  Another short and stout man nodded to everyone, his body wrapped in a thick cloak, his face also very serious, the whole person looked like a very petty appearance. Yun Feng blinked, Magic Guild? There is also a Magic Guild on the Eastern Continent?

  "Is the little guy surprised?" The voice of his ancestors echoed in his mind, and Yun Feng also communicated with his ancestors through intention, "Indeed, it's a bit surprising. After all, due to the reasons on the Eastern Continent itself, the overall level of magicians won't be too high. The existence of this Magic Guild is a bit embarrassing."

  The ancestor smiled, "Indeed, it's a bit awkward, but in order to respond to certain issues, the Magic Guild still has its own reasons for existence, just like the East-West Continent's Magician Exchange Conference."

  "A Magician Exchange Conference?" Yun Feng was shocked, so there's such a thing? The magical exchange between the Eastern and Western Continents, isn't the Eastern Continent the most embarrassing one? "Haha, I'll tell you about these later, but this region is actually quite familiar to me." Ancestor's words made Yun Feng's eyes light up, "Ancestor, what is this place?"

  The ancestor spoke, but his tone was somewhat low and his face was full of worry. "As early as when I existed, during my travels in the Kasyapa Empire, I heard that there was a place that was the forbidden land of the Kasyapa Empire. It seemed to be a place with a huge ancient ruin, shrouded in thick clouds all year round. The Kasyapa Empire forbids anyone from coming here. What exactly is this place? What secrets are hidden within this region? No one knows."

  Yun Feng listened, his expression also sank, "In other words, this is a completely unknown territory."

  "It's like that, but I've heard some things, after all, my ancestors still have some means." The ancestor smiled with satisfaction, and Yun Feng couldn't help but feel amused in his heart. This old man, no matter how he looked at him, didn't seem to have the demeanor of an elder at all.

  "This place, known as the Abandoned Labyrinth, is said to be a truly abandoned land. The owner of this labyrinth is unknown, and it is also unknown when it came into existence. When the Kalos Empire discovered this place, they made it a forbidden area. Those who have explored here before are said to have never returned."

  Yun Feng's expression turned gloomy upon hearing this, "What does the Kasyapa Empire want to do by choosing this place? This should be considered a dangerous area, and the venue for the Four Nations' Competition is here. What kind of evil intentions are they harboring?"

  "Little guy, this time you mustn't be careless at all, you have to be cautious every moment. The abacus in the heart of the Kalpa Empire is probably not just one, in case of unexpected events, you can't relax your vigilance."

  Yun Feng said, it must be so, big brother and I are together. If she knew the situation of this match, she wouldn't have dragged her big brother in either. The Empire of Kalpa, no matter what you're thinking, won't let you get your way!

  During the conversation between Yun Feng and his ancestors, the imperial family of Jia Ye Empire also roughly introduced this place. They said almost the same thing as the ancestors, but didn't emphasize the danger here. However, the imperial families of the other three major empires were not so easy to fool? After finishing the situation here, the members of the imperial family who came with the other three major empires all had gloomy faces.

  "Isn't it a bit inappropriate to hold the competition here?" said a member of the Aowei Empire's royal family in a calm tone. "The abandoned labyrinth, although the Kaluo Empire has blocked the news, there have been some rumors after all. Is the Kaluo Empire trying to make us the vanguard for exploration?"

  "Haha! Of course not, the first and second place in the Four Nations Tournament must make the other two countries convinced, we naturally don't convince each other in our hearts. Choosing here is a careful consideration of multiple factors, it's not as dangerous as the rumors say, besides, which one of these kids isn't a genius youth? With their strength, what are they afraid of?"

  "It's easy to say, but if something goes wrong, the loss will be great." Kail said in a low voice, this sentence hit the nail on the head. What if an accident really happens in the abandoned labyrinth and these children are lost? This would be a blow to any empire. Can geniuses be cultivated so easily? How much time and effort would it take to cultivate another one? How much time would it take to find another one? The ten young people gathered here, each of whom is someone that the Kalan Empire cannot afford to lose.

  "Alright, if you're too worried, then don't participate." Kasyapa's imperial family smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth and said a sentence to the royal members of the other three countries. This sentence completely changed the color of these royal members' faces. Now it's good, they have no choice but to board the ship!

  "Does anyone want to forfeit?" asked a noble of the Kashyap imperial family. The members of the three major imperial families all looked ugly, their lips moved, but in the end they did not say the word "forfeit". In their hearts, winning the qualification to explore the ancient ruins was the top priority!

  "Since no one has forfeited, let's just say everyone passed." The Kayas Imperial Family smiled slightly, and at this time, a member of the Holy Radiant Empire's imperial family spoke up, "Now here, do you have any preparations?"

  The nobles of the Kalpa imperial family couldn't help but laugh at this, "Please rest assured, the Kalpa imperial family is also completely unaware of what's going on here. We're all in the same risk, after all, we're all the same."

  After finishing speaking, the Kaishan imperial noble walked to Zhengran and Bi Xing's side, whispering a few words, seemingly exchanging some important matters. After finishing, Mr. Zhengran took a few steps forward. The contestants from the four major empires, totaling forty people, all stood here. Mr. Zhengran smiled, "Regardless of which empire you are from, you are all precious treasures of the Eastern Continent! Abandoning the maze is indeed dangerous, but for your own strength, you must have absolute confidence! I hope you can all achieve good results in this Four Nations Competition!" After finishing speaking with a smile, Mr. Zhengran nodded slightly, and the Kaishan imperial noble ordered someone to distribute something. Yun Feng took it in his hand, and it turned out to be an entirely white jade pendant.

  "If you encounter danger and difficulties in the abandoned maze, if you think you can't solve it yourself, pinch this jade pendant to pieces, it will take you out of the abandoned maze, naturally, also representing that you give up."

  Everyone held the jade pendant in their hand and was slightly distracted, Yun Feng smiled, when they were exploring the Dragon Temple earlier, Ao Jin's jade pendant was still on her wrist, Yun Feng took a closer look, Ao Jin's jade pendant only had a dragon carved on one side, this one didn't have that, but upon taking another glance, it really looked exactly the same.

  Each contestant carefully put away the jade pendant, which was their last lifeline. Zhēn Rán continued, "Since the location has been chosen as the Abandoned Labyrinth, I suppose everyone has already guessed the content of this Four Nations Competition. The time limit is three months, and the first team to exit the labyrinth will be in first place, and so on. If no team successfully exits within three months, it will be decided based on the number of people remaining without giving up, and the team with the most people left will be in first place."

  Each contestant is carefully savoring the rules, Yun Feng smiled, such rules are interesting. Within three months, these four teams can be busy finding an exit, as long as they find other imperial contestants, they can force other imperial contestants to forfeit, and in the end, won't it still be themselves who win?

  Everyone has tasted the deep meaning in it, and the contestants of the four major empires looked at each other with inexplicable tension. Seeing the sudden tense atmosphere, he smiled, "There are four entrances ahead, and the four major empires choose one to enter. Once entered, it means the game has started. Well, give you some time to think about it."

  With a wave of his hand, the contestants from the four major empires immediately gathered together. On the side of the Kalan Empire, Kai's expression turned serious as he spoke, "Once you enter inside, don't rush to find an exit. When you encounter contestants from other empires, use all your strength to force them into submission!"

  "Uncle Kai, rest assured, this is definitely going to be done!" Kasha smiled and nodded, while Yun Feng stood by silently, but in his heart, he was coldly sneering. Probably the other three empires were thinking the same thing, this wasn't an exploration of a maze at all, it was simply a slaughter that had already begun before it even started.

  "Entrance, you have to choose the middle two, pick one and go in."

  Kasha nodded, looking like a commander-in-chief. Before long, the four empires had finished their discussions and each reported their chosen entrance without any conflicts arising. Zheng Ran smiled and said, "All contestants, get ready."

  The contestants of the four major empires walked to their respective chosen entrances. Yun Feng looked around and saw that the first entrance belonged to the Holy Radiance Empire, the second entrance belonged to the Aowei Empire, the third entrance belonged to the Kalan Empire, and the fourth entrance belonged to the Jia Ye Empire. Yun Feng's dark eyes sank slightly as he wondered who his first opponent would be after entering the maze.

  The contestants have already stood at the entrance and shouted loudly, "Go in, good luck!"

  The contestants from the four major empires looked at each other, and the frail young man from the Aowei Empire smiled slightly at Yun Feng before walking in without saying much. The noble young man from the Jia Ye Empire, whom Yun Feng had met before, was also one of the contestants this time. He swept his eyes over everyone from the Kalan Empire with a light smile, "Kalan Empire... good luck to you all." After that, he led his team in as well.

  "We're going! The Kalan Empire will definitely take first place!" Kasha shouted as she walked ahead, but no one echoed her, making her feel a bit awkward. Yun Feng walked behind her, with Yun Sheng by his side, while Qu Lan Yi was on the other side. Ze Ran and Mu Rong Yun Tian also slowed down their pace and fell back to the rear, creating a slight distance between the two groups of five people.

  After everyone had entered the maze entrance, a member of the Kaye Empire's imperial family smiled and said, "Are you all thinking of going back to wait for news, or are you coming with me to wait at the exit?"

  No one raised any objections, and they all went to the exit to wait. Zhēn Rán and Bì Xíng, as the judges for this time, also had to go. The group rode on the Griffin's back towards the other end of the maze. Although they hadn't explored inside the maze before, the entrance and exit were quite obvious and easy to find. The Griffin flew above the vast maze, but a thick layer of fog blocked everyone's line of sight.

  "Who do you think will win this time?" Zheng Ran asked with a smile, sitting on the Eagle Horned Beast, while Bi Xing's exceptionally serious face twitched at the corner of his mouth. "How would I know."

  Zheng Ran chuckled again and didn't say anything else. Suddenly, Bi Xian spoke up, "Who do you think will win?"

  Zhèng Rán smiled again, his face full of smiles, and winked at Bì Xíng, "I don't know either." Zhèng Rán's gaze swept downwards, as if he could see through the clouds, little guy, what kind of performance will you put on this time? I'm really looking forward to it...

  Yun Feng walked into the abandoned labyrinth, with high walls on both sides and a boundless dark cloud above. Ten people proceeded forward for a while before Kasha suddenly stopped, "Yun Feng, call your demon beast to scout ahead!"

  The five people in front all turned their eyes back, if Yun Feng's flying demon beast scouts the way, then Carla will have a great chance of winning. Qu Lan stood aside and said coolly, "Princess Kasha, Little Feng is not your servant and won't listen to your orders."

  Kasha's face turned red as she walked over with a few quick steps, "I'm the captain of the team, everything here has to listen to me! Yun Feng, did you hear that?"

  Yun Feng gave Kasha a cold glance, "The top is shrouded in a layer of cloud and mist, it's impossible to get a bird's eye view from high altitude, are you an idiot?" After finishing speaking, he directly walked past Kasha towards the front. Kasha suddenly turned around, "Then let your other magical beast come out to scout ahead!"

  Yun Feng stopped in his tracks, slowly turned his head and said, "Xiao Huo's temper is not good enough. If you're not afraid of ending up like your stupid sister, I can let it out."

  Kasha's face turned white in an instant, and Kaki's miserable appearance was still remembered by Kasha. The place where Kaki's room was located was destroyed like that, and the temper of that Fire Cloud Wolf was indeed not very good...

  "Never mind, she's useless, let's go!" Kasha said, walking away dejectedly. A few people shook their heads in dismay and muttered under their breath, "Not working at a critical moment, what a...".

  Yun Sheng was furious, but Yun Feng held his brother's hand and gave him a slight smile. Those unimportant people didn't need to be taken seriously. Yun Sheng stroked the face of his little sister, took her hand, and slowly followed behind. The ten of them walked for quite a long distance, through the winding paths of the maze, which naturally wouldn't lead to just one dead end.

  A fork in the road lay before them, and ten people stood at the crossroads, wondering whether to go left or right. Kasha furrowed her brow and stood there thinking for a long time. Should they split up? What if they encountered contestants from other empires? If they didn't split up, what if the path they chose was a dead end and they wasted their time?

  "Your Highness, which way shall we go?" Siqi asked in a low voice beside her, Kasha glared at her fiercely, can't you see I'm thinking?!

  Kasha stood there, but Yun Feng had already turned around and walked to the right. The few people following her also turned to the right. Kasha saw this and loudly shouted, "Yun Feng, what are you doing!"

  Yun Feng stopped in his tracks, "Both roads must be explored, giving up any opportunity at this time may lead to loss. There are ten people, just enough to divide into two teams, one taking the left road and the other taking the right road."

  "I, I'll go right too!" Kasha immediately wanted to run over, Qu Lanyi chuckled and said, "Princess Kasha, can't you count? Ten people divided into two teams, of course it's five on each side. Our team is already full."

  Kasha's black eyes swept away, Yun Feng, Yun Sheng, Murong Yuntian, Qu Lan Yi, Ze Ran, just five people! Kasha suddenly gritted her teeth, "You, come here! Walk on the left!" Kasha's hand was pointing at Ze Ran. Kasha wasn't a fool either, she knew to stick with the strong ones. Although she didn't have a good feeling about Yun Feng, at critical moments she could still hold out for a while, and when the time came, she would have time to escape!

  Zeran's face sank, and Yun Feng pulled his arm, gesturing for him not to move. "Kasha, if you join us, it'll be four mages, and you shouldn't not understand the principle of dividing power evenly. If we encounter a strong warrior team, our only option is to flee."

  Kasha paused, wanting to blurt out that Yun Sheng should come over, but she bit her lip hard. How could Yun Sheng and Yun Feng possibly be separated? Qu Lanyi was someone she didn't dare offend - after all, the woman had four powerful mages at her beck and call. It seemed like she wouldn't be able to get past this...

  "Yun Tian, come here, you and I together." Kasha said a sentence, Murong Yun Tian's face turned black, Yun Feng smiled, "If he is willing, then there is no problem."

  "Yun Tian, come quickly!" Kasha called out somewhat anxiously. Since she couldn't join in herself, she would drag Mu Rong Yun Tian over instead. She couldn't let him be with Yun Feng! Besides, Mu Rong Yun Tian's strength was at the 9th level, having him protect her would also be a guarantee!

  Murong Yuntian's face turned dark, his handsome face gloomy as he stared at Kasha. For the first time, he found this woman so annoying, so detestable! "Not going." Murong Yuntian spat out two words, leaving Kasha somewhat taken aback. Yun Feng chuckled and said, "In that case, we'll leave first."

  Kasha's eyes reddened at the sight, "Halt!" she thundered. Yun Feng and his four companions paused slightly, before Yun Feng turned back to ask, "Are there any further orders, Princess?"

  "Do you still know that I am the princess of the Kalan royal family?! You five people, how dare you be so disrespectful to me! I will definitely let my father severely punish you!"

  Yun Feng smiled and said, "As you wish, if you can make it back alive."

  "What... what do you mean..." Kasha's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, if they were to return safely? How could they possibly not return safely?! "You guys go left! We'll go right!" Kasha suddenly thought of something and shouted loudly, Yun Feng carelessly walked back, passing by Kasha's side and whispered, "Coward."

  Kasha's face turned completely red, and she didn't say anything else. She led the other four people into the right passageway, while Yun Feng and his five companions entered the left passageway. The ten of them parted ways at this intersection. The several warriors following Kasha were also powerful, all at the eighth level. Kasha's heart had some confidence, hoping that Yun Feng would encounter other strong empire warriors on that road. At this time, Kasha's personal feelings took over everything. She was actually hoping that Yun Feng would leave in defeat, and if Emperor Kalan found out about his daughter's recklessness, he would probably be furious and die from anger.

  Yun Feng and the five people walked to the left passage, following the road all the way forward. Yun Feng felt that the passage seemed to continue to the left, if so, it would intersect with the left side of the Aowei Empire, and it was possible that they might meet.

  As they walked forward along the maze's path, the five of them soon saw a stone wall blocking their way ahead. This was a dead end. Yun Feng slightly furrowed his brow, while Qu Lianyi let out a helpless sigh beside him, "If I had known it would be such a boring competition, I wouldn't have come."

  Yun Feng looked at the stone wall in front of him and always felt a strange sense of unease in his heart. "Since it's a path, let's go back." Several people nodded and walked along the road, but when they reached a fork in the road, Yun Feng suddenly stopped in his tracks, his black eyes scanning the fork in the road for a long time.

  "What's wrong, Feng'er?" Yunsheng asked softly beside him. Yunfeng furrowed his brow heavily, "I made marks all the way here, this place..." Yunfeng's gaze turned back to the fork in the road ahead, "This is the only path, that side was a dead end just now."

  As soon as the words were spoken, all four people's expressions turned tense, including Qu Lan Yi who had been complaining about boredom just a moment ago. "So that means this labyrinth is constantly changing?" Ze Ran concluded, and Yun Feng nodded in agreement.

  "To get out of the maze, it's all about luck now." Yunsheng muttered to himself, Qu Lanyi suddenly chuckled softly, "Isn't this more interesting? This is more thrilling, don't you think Little Fengfeng?"

  Yun Feng heard this, and her red lips also slowly rose. Indeed, if the maze was really just a simple maze, wouldn't it be too boring? "It's just that I don't know where the maze will lead us," Yun Feng said, taking steps towards the extra fork in the road. Qu Lan Yi followed with a smile, and the other three people also swept away their tense expressions, following with smiling faces. Although this maze was always changing, following behind this girl would surely lead them to the correct path.

  Yun Feng no longer made any marks, and even if he did, it would be useless. Here, luck really decided everything. Yun Feng summoned Xiao Huo and Lan Yi out. As for human perception, perhaps the demonic beasts' would be more acute. After Xiao Huo and Lan Yi came out, they were both somewhat surprised. In the instant they appeared, both of them transmitted a same feeling to Yun Feng through their minds: Master, it seems like there's something hidden here, very dangerous.

  Yun Feng smiled, leading Xiao Huo and Lan Yi to walk ahead, looking at the high walls beside her and the clouds above that never dispersed. If there really was something here, she wanted to take a look. And if it was just a magical beast, then all the better...

  Xiao Huo and Lan Yi knew what Yun Feng was thinking in his heart. The two looked at each other and smiled, the master is indeed not ordinary.
