Man-eating plants?

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

At the same time, a sudden gust of cold wind blew through the surroundings.

The once quiet valley unexpectedly erupted with countless eerie murmurs that made one's skin crawl.

Everyone looked up and instinctively moved closer together.

"W-What is that?"

"It's ghostly visions! Oh heavens, it's ghostly visions!"

"Run, run quickly!"

Hei Feng turned and ran in terror.

Despite being a notorious top-notch expert, Hei Feng completely lost his nerve in front of these supernatural creatures.

Ma Xiaoling's face was also tense, yet she still stayed close to Ye Guichen without leaving.

Water Liao remained unchanged, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him.

Ye Guichen's eyes also saw countless ghostly visions.

Each ghostly vision carried a chilling atmosphere that made one's skin crawl.

Hei Feng hadn't run far when several ghostly visions pounced on him.

In just the blink of an eye, they devoured him cleanly, leaving only a pile of white bones.

"Mr. Ye, what should we do?" Ma Xiaoling's voice trembled.

Yuan Shao frowned: "Everyone, don't worry. These aren't real ghostly visions; someone has set up an array here to cover the truth. If I'm not mistaken, there were never corpse-eating worms here, only man-eating plants that can eat people down to their bones."

Ye Guichen nodded lightly upon hearing this.

There is indeed a deadly array here, and the person who set it up is highly skilled. If one does not understand array techniques, it may trigger chaos among the man-eating plants in the valley, and being swallowed alive is inevitable.

This Sakura Falling is indeed very cautious.

"How can it be? Is the legend not true?" Ma Xiaoling was puzzled.

Ye Guichen nodded and responded: "That's right, Yuan Shao is correct. There are probably no corpse-eating worms here, just a lot of man-eating plants."

"The ghostly visions we're seeing are likely due to the effects of the array, creating an illusion for us."

Ye Guichen surveyed around and said calmly: "If I'm right, this should be one of the top ten deadly formations, the Evil Netherworld Ghost Array."

"Evil Netherworld Ghost Formation?" Yuan Shao knew there was an array here but had not found any clues after observing for a while. Upon hearing Ye Guichen, he shivered.

The Evil Netherworld Ghost Array uses the array to create ghost-like illusions and hidden killing mechanisms. It exploits human psychological fears while assassins lurk in the shadows, undetectable and unavoidable.

Years ago, Corpse Burial Valley was feared because of the presence of corpse-eating worms.

Later, someone must have used this legend to set up the Evil Netherworld Ghost Array to block entry to Devil's Forest.

Of course, every array has a life gate and a death gate.

Otherwise, how would Sakura Falling's people escape Devil's Forest?

That's impossible.

Many people have already moved through this valley. Since An Shengtian arranged Hei Feng as an assassin, he must know how to pass through the valley.

"Mr. Ye, are you sure this is the Evil Netherworld Ghost Array?" Yuan Shao's tone was no longer as confident as before.

As one of the top ten deadly formations, breaking the Evil Netherworld Ghost Array is no easy task.

Though Yuan Shao is skilled in array techniques, breaking one of the top ten deadly formations is extremely challenging.

Ye Guichen didn't respond; instead, he silently activated his internal energy in his eyes.

The next second, the ghostly visions disappeared from his sight, replaced by strikingly flamboyant flowers.

The flowers looked enormous, some even over a meter in diameter.

They seemed to have life, their petals continuously fluttering, emitting wailing sounds akin to ghostly cries.

Where Hei Taixui had fled, lay a pool of black blood and nearly intact white bones.

There was still flesh on the bones that hadn't been completely devoured.

Behind the bones, a man-eating plant swayed its branches, seductively like a prostitute enticing a customer.

"Follow me, don't move erratically," Ye Guichen said with a smirk, quickly moving forward.

In others' eyes, Ye Guichen appeared to walk toward the ghostly visions. Strangely, as they approached, the ghostly visions suddenly vanished without harming them.

Initially, everyone was apprehensive, but after walking a long distance without incident, they relaxed.

Yuan Shao was utterly shocked.

How could one of the top ten deadly formations be broken so easily?

He was unaware that this deadly array, terrifying to others, was merely an illusion to an Innate expert.

In the Innate Realm, internal energy exists within the body.

Under the protection of internal energy, all illusions can be easily dispelled.

If Ye Guichen didn't possess internal energy, he could still break the array but with greater effort.

With internal energy, avoiding the man-eating plants effortlessly is preferable.

Ye Guichen walked faster.

Yuan Shao and the others followed closely, fearing to fall behind.

After an unknown time, Ye Guichen's voice sounded: "We should be out of Corpse Burial Valley."

Yuan Shao and others looked up to see no ghostly visions, replaced by a dense forest ahead.

Dusk had fallen, and the area echoed with beastly roars.

In the dark, many eyes fixed on Ye Guichen and his party.

Exiting Corpse Burial Valley, they entered a beast's lair.

The dangerous location chosen by Sakura Falling was indeed perilous.

No wonder Sakura Falling, though under Azure Dragon Commerce's command, had not been completely absorbed.

Azure Dragon Commerce likely couldn't penetrate such treacherous terrain to subdue Sakura Falling forcibly.

Thus, Azure Dragon Commerce maintained a delicate relationship with Sakura Falling.

However, with Sakura Falling's old leader nearing death, this delicate relationship might soon deteriorate.

A full moon slowly rose in the sky.

Beastly roars became more frequent.

A problem soon troubled Ye Guichen.

He had intended for Hei Taixui to guide him to Sakura Falling, but now Hei Taixui was dead, as was Situ Yufeng. Yuan Shao, Ma Xiaoling, and Water Liao remained, none knowing Sakura Falling's precise location.

Devil's Forest stretched as far as the eye could see. Entering without direction would be like searching for a needle in a haystack.

"Mr. Ye, should I call An Shengtian?" Yuan Shao took out his phone, glanced at it, then his face fell.

In a place like this, there was no signal.
