Chapter 707: Dangers Lurk Everywhere

Hai Xunyi was the second to enter Cannibal Valley.

Ao Xi was next.

Ao Xi glanced back at Tian Ci and Jiang Chen.

Her eyes flickered, but she said nothing and followed them in.

When it was Tian Ci’s turn, he also had a strange look in his eyes.

He suddenly said to Jiang Chen, “Brother Jiang, there’s a conspiracy here. Be careful.”

Jiang Chen nodded silently.

“Let’s go.”

Jiang Chen was the last one to enter Cannibal Valley.

When he pressed his hand forward, sure enough, he felt a shockingly powerful repulsive force surge up his arm.

Fortunately, although this repulsive force was ferocious, he could easily block it with his current Cultivation.

Then, with a tremor in his arm, a section of the seal instantly collapsed, revealing a dark black opening.

He hesitated for a moment.

A white fan appeared in Jiang Chen’s hand—the Divine Wind Fan.

Holding the Divine Wind Fan, he felt a little more at ease.

After all, he didn’t know what dangers lay inside, so he held the Divine Wind Fan just in case.

This sort of precaution against danger was a necessary survival skill.

SWOOSH!

His figure flashed as he leaped into the pitch-black opening.

Jiang Chen vanished as well.

Only their attendants were left outside.

Cannibal Valley was considered one of the most perilous places in the Tang Kingdom.

WHOOSH!

A figure flashed and quickly landed on the ground.

It was Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen scanned his surroundings. His eyes were met with a sea of green.

Thick, sturdy trees grew in dense thickets, the largest ones tens of feet in diameter.

In addition, coiling between the trees were countless lengths of Vine Wood.

Seeing that Vine Wood, Jiang Chen’s eyes widened.

“Cannibal Vines?”

“There are actually so many Cannibal Vines here.”

That’s right, Jiang Chen recognized the Vine Wood as Cannibal Vines.

The fifth floor of his Ghost Temple was filled with them.

He was all too familiar with Cannibal Vines.

Meanwhile, Tang Yuan, Hai Xunyi, Ao Xi, and Tian Ci, who had entered before him, were already standing at the edge of the Ancient Forest, gazing ahead.

When Jiang Chen appeared, they all turned to look at him.

Tang Yuan was the first to speak. “Everyone, we have now entered Cannibal Valley.”

“Without a doubt, the most dangerous part of Cannibal Valley is these Cannibal Vines.”

“Even for us, getting caught in the Cannibal Vines would likely mean a grim end.”

“Everyone, be extremely careful.”

Tang Yuan seemed to know a great deal about Cannibal Valley, even kindly reminding the others.

But inwardly, he was sneering.

‘I wish they would all just die in Cannibal Valley.’

‘Then, the Angel will be mine, and mine alone!’

The others didn’t need Tang Yuan’s reminder; they knew how terrifying the Cannibal Vines were.

It was just that seeing Cannibal Vines everywhere made them all a bit unnerved.

But as for Jiang Chen, after a brief moment of surprise at seeing the Cannibal Vines, the corners of his mouth curved into a smile.

‘The Cannibal Vines might be extremely dangerous to others, but to me, this place is undoubtedly a treasure trove.’

“Now that we’re in Cannibal Valley, it’s clear there are dangers everywhere. But searching together as a group obviously isn’t practical.”

“Why don’t we all split up?”

“If anyone finds the Angel, we can notify each other.”

As Hai Xunyi spoke, he glanced at the others, then headed off in a direction of his own accord.

Although Cannibal Vines were everywhere, there was still plenty of space for them to maneuver.

Hai Xunyi felt the probability of the Angel being here was very high.

He wanted the Angel for himself, so naturally, he was unwilling to search with the others.

Ao Xi thought for a moment and agreed, “Brother Hai is right. We’ll have a better chance if we search separately.”

It seemed everyone was a lone wolf. After all, they were all geniuses who had no need to travel with others.

Ao Xi simply chose a direction and entered the forest alone.

Without a word, Tian Ci had already vanished into the woods.

Only Jiang Chen and Tang Yuan remained.

At that moment, Tang Yuan shot Jiang Chen a cold glare, snorted, and disappeared into the forest as well.

Jiang Chen stood where he was, silent.

‘Looks like everyone wants the Angel for themselves.’

‘And each has their own agenda.’

With that thought, Jiang Chen chose a direction none of the others had taken and walked step by step into the forest.

The five of them disappeared into the Ancient Forest of Cannibal Valley.

Elsewhere in the forest, a group of black-clothed men were gathered.

They all had their auras completely suppressed.

“Boss, the Prince and the others have arrived.”

“Should we prepare to make our move?”

The leader of the black-clothed men shook his head.

“No rush. Cannibal Valley is extremely treacherous. Let them get a taste of it first.”

“We’ll act on the Prince’s command.”

Although Tang Yuan had claimed that only those below the Sixth Layer Heaven of the Martial Arts Sect could enter, the Tang Kingdom had long since found a way into Cannibal Valley without any Cultivation restrictions.

These people were all from the Tang Kingdom.

After some time, a figure appeared in their line of sight.

It was Tang Yuan.

Tang Yuan glanced around and, seeing that no one had followed him, immediately appeared among the group of black-clothed men.

“Prince, you’ve arrived.”

Tang Yuan nodded.

He beckoned and said, “National Preceptor, prepare to make a move shortly.”

“Do exactly as I’ve instructed.”

They were here, secretly plotting their conspiracy.

SKREEE… SKREEE… SKREEE…

This place was a separate dimension. Jiang Chen had been walking for an hour.

He was still in the forest, but just then, he heard a series of screeches from overhead.

Looking closely, he saw a troop of ferocious monkeys, grayish-white all over and two meters tall, speeding through the treetops above him.

They shrieked ceaselessly as they went.

Judging solely by the aura emanating from them, those ferocious monkeys possessed at least Martial King Cultivation.

Jiang Chen looked up, his eyes narrowing slightly.

Through the trees, he saw a giant, orange-feathered eagle circling uncertainly in the sky.

It was clearly looking for prey.

‘An Orange-Feathered Eagle at the Third Heaven of the Martial Arts Sect.’

‘I didn’t expect to find such a powerful Demon Beast here.’

Soon, the ferocious monkeys disappeared without a trace.

But the Orange-Feathered Eagle continued to circle in the sky.

It seemed to have locked onto a target.

SWOOSH!

Suddenly, the Orange-Feathered Eagle dove, plunging toward a spot in the forest.

Jiang Chen was a little surprised. He leaped to the top of a tall tree and concealed himself within its crown.

Then, he looked toward the spot where the Orange-Feathered Eagle had dived.

AH—

Suddenly, a cry of alarm came from down in the forest far below.

He saw the Orange-Feathered Eagle clutching a black-clothed man in its talons, flying up into the air, ready to depart with its captured meal.

But in the next moment…

A furious roar erupted from that spot.

“Beast! You’re courting death!”

Following the roar, a black shadow shot out from the forest below, in hot pursuit of the Orange-Feathered Eagle.

SHING!

A flash of sword light from the black-clothed man’s attack, and the Orange-Feathered Eagle, which had been about to fly away, was slain in mid-air.

The black-clothed man who had nearly been carried off by the eagle was saved.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen frowned slightly.

‘Such a powerful expert?’

‘How are there other people here?’

At this moment, suspicion began to grow in Jiang Chen’s heart.

Only the five of them had entered earlier; he hadn’t seen anyone else come in.

Although Cannibal Valley didn’t restrict who could enter, based on the skill that black-clothed man had just displayed, Jiang Chen estimated his Cultivation was at least in the Martial Emperor Realm.

‘A Martial Emperor actually appeared here.’

This clearly contradicted what Tang Yuan had said about only people with a Cultivation at or below the Sixth Layer Heaven of the Martial Arts Sect being able to enter Cannibal Valley.
