Chapter 483: Tricked?

"This group of people is truly cautious!"

Following behind this group of experts from Cannibal Valley, Shen Yu couldn't help but complain as he trailed them.

These hopeless wretches, even though they clearly knew they had been trapped, were still excessively careful, circling through the mountain forests for two whole days; did they really think he couldn't tell?

Moreover, during the process of circling, people kept breaking away from the group and leaving quietly, clearly intending to flee in several separate batches.

Cannibal Valley truly lived up to its reputation as a faction that carried the "Dao of Cowardice" to the extreme; the mindset of being cautious and careful was almost carved into the bones of every single person.

However, this bunch thought that this would leave him helpless—have you heard of an External Incarnation? One person turning into several—scare you to death!

The only pity was that it took too much time; he was busy as hell every day, with the entirety of Xiaozhou needing his command from top to bottom, so where would he find the idle time to waste here with them?

Fortunately, even if a portion of these people might stay outside, a portion would always have to return; as long as he followed them, he could trace the vine to find Cannibal Valley.

And then, he could easily annihilate them in one fell swoop. Once Cannibal Valley was destroyed, his mission in Xiaozhou would be more than half complete.

Time passed bit by bit in this empty waiting. Shen Yu split off several human figures and successfully tracked everyone, not letting even a single person go.

Finally, through his unremitting efforts, he crossed over layers of high mountains, waded through streams and rivers, and found the path leading to Cannibal Valley in a deep, secluded canyon cave.

Following the footsteps of these people, Shen Yu successfully entered Cannibal Valley. The scenery here was beautiful, with mountains, rivers, and lakes having everything one could wish for.

It was hard to imagine that under the wrapping of layers of mountains, there could be such scenery; Cannibal Valley certainly knew how to pick a place.

"Valley Master!" After entering the valley, these few people immediately went to report, arriving before an old man of about sixty years old, dressed in hemp clothes and with a face full of weathering, half-kneeling respectfully on the ground.

"The one who fell into the trap this time is Shen Yu. He has already been trapped in the Trap Array and cannot possibly break free!"

"You said who? Shen Yu?" Upon hearing this name, a sharp light immediately flashed in the eyes of the previously expressionless old man, along with three parts of anticipation.

"Are you sure it is him?"

"Valley Master, rest assured, this person is definitely Shen Yu. After he was trapped in the array, we joined forces to activate the Great Array to attack him, but he broke it with a casual wave. Such cultivation is beyond our reach!"

Seemingly thinking of some terrifying event, the person reporting couldn't help but feel a lingering fear. In front of Shen Yu, they felt an unprecedented sense of insignificance and weakness.

That terrifying power, as if resisting the heavens and the earth, still left people with lingering palpitations even when recalled now.

"Valley Master, if it weren't for the Rune Great Array completely sealing the space and preventing him from escaping the restraints, I fear he would have slaughtered us on the spot!"

"In the entire Xiaozhou, besides Shen Yu, no one can have this level of cultivation, so this subordinate concludes that he is Shen Yu!"

"Good!" The old man nodded, clearly in complete agreement with their answer.

"Although this array is a sealing array, the power of the Great Array is not weak. You joined forces to activate the Great Array; none but those in the True Soul Realm could resist it!"

"Since this person can break your attacks with a casual wave, he must be an expert of the True Soul Realm. It is Shen Yu! It must be him!"

"Good, very good! You have done very well! Once Shen Yu is removed, our Cannibal Valley will have no rivals in the entire Xiaozhou. Xiaozhou will always be our Xiaozhou!"

A smile was just about to climb onto his face, before it could even bloom, the old man's expression changed instantly in the next moment.

"Bastards, you actually brought an outsider into the valley!"

"Outsider? That's impossible, Valley Master, we would never dare to bring an outsider into the valley!"

"Discovered, as expected of Cannibal Valley!" Since he had been discovered, Shen Yu walked out openly.

Anyway, this one right now was just an incarnation; if Cannibal Valley still had trump cards, he would just discard this incarnation at worst.

"Sh-Shen Yu, weren't you trapped in the Great Array? How are you here!"

"Shen Yu? You are Shen Yu!" Unable to help but take a step back, the old man's face instantly turned extremely ugly. "Idiots, how did you bring him back?"

While carefully watching Shen Yu, the old man quickly formed a seal with his hands, but before he could finish his movement, Shen Yu had already arrived at his side in a flash.

That terrifying Sword Qi, which seemed to completely annihilate space and time, flashed and vanished. It changed rapidly in an instant, making people feel as if they were hallucinating, a feeling of extreme unreality.

But in the next moment, the old man exploded instantly, and the seal on his hands had only just begun.

Of course, there were other arrangements within Cannibal Valley, but they were too late to use them now, and Shen Yu wouldn't just watch him use them.

Coming to a place like Cannibal Valley, one must naturally strike first; did they expect him to chat with them before starting a fight?

"Valley Master!" Watching their leader suddenly explode with their own eyes, everyone stood frozen on the spot. They never expected Shen Yu to strike suddenly, catching them completely off guard.

Turning back, a murderous intent flashed in Shen Yu's eyes, and a streak of Sword Qi was swung down again without any courtesy.

Before the experts of Cannibal Valley could recover from the shock, another streak of Sword Qi had already engulfed them. This time, not even flesh and blood remained; they simply turned into nothingness under the Sword Qi.

Subsequently, Shen Yu stepped into the very center of Cannibal Valley, his Super Perception shrouding the entire valley, and the experts within the valley appeared clearly in his perception.

Since he had been discovered, then none of them should live. Sword Qi raged, shrouding the entire valley.

The vast Cannibal Valley seemed to have fallen into the apocalypse. The people inside didn't even know what had happened before they were annihilated and disappeared under the sweep of the terrifying Sword Qi.

Only after there were no survivors around did Shen Yu begin to loot Cannibal Valley. He was currently engaged in construction and needed money, large amounts of money.

At this moment, looting Cannibal Valley, Shen Yu was exceptionally greedy, looting everything that had any value.

It had to be said, Cannibal Valley was doing much worse than Evil Man City. The quality and quantity of their experts were lower, and even their family fortune was not as good as theirs.

You're all in the same line of work, why do you look so miserable!

While looting Cannibal Valley, Shen Yu always felt something was wrong. It was too smooth; the entire process of destroying Cannibal Valley was unexpectedly smooth.

However, Shen Yu thought back, wasn't it the same over at Evil Man City? He wiped them out smoothly without seeing any twists and turns.

Perhaps he was just too nervous, feeling that even smoothness was somewhat unbelievable.

"System, Sign-in!"

"Sign-in successful, obtained Thought-Binding Guide!"

A touch of mental focus, guiding across ten thousand miles. The Thought-Binding Guide requires only a tiny bit of residual mental energy to ignore any array or secret technique, allowing one to easily locate a target even across ten thousand miles.

"This is actually quite interesting!" The Thought-Binding Guide—this secret technique was absolutely a supreme tool for finding people. One only needed to leave a bit of mental power, and one would never have to worry about the other party getting lost again.

The only pity was that this thing belonged to the auxiliary category and was completely useless for improving combat power.

Cannibal Valley was, after all, a local tyrant; giving only this little thing was truly unjustifiable.

However, even a mosquito is meat, and since this thing couldn't be returned, Shen Yu could only accept whatever he got from the sign-in. Although this thing had no combat power, it could still be considered a good item; perhaps it would come in handy someday.

Since Cannibal Valley had been destroyed, the remaining people who hadn't returned should also be killed. A considerable portion of those people outside were still circling around with Shen Yu's incarnations.

With Cannibal Valley removed, the rest would be easy; his incarnations were still outside circling with them, so killing them wouldn't take any effort at all.

During the process of killing them, Shen Yu even attempted to use his Mental Power to strike at them, and their Spiritual Seas indeed detonated in an instant.

However, a sliver of a mental imprint was drawn over by the Thought-Linking Guide, and upon sensing the information obtained by the Thought-Linking Guide, Shen Yu frowned slightly.

Detonating the Mental Power of those Cannibal Valley experts had originally been unintentional on his part, just something he did casually out of boredom, yet he had not expected to gain an unexpected harvest.

The source of this residual mental imprint did not point toward Cannibal Valley here, but instead pointed far away.

How could the mental imprint on the Cannibal Valley experts have been placed by someone else? In the entire Cannibal Valley, only the Valley Master of Cannibal Valley would have this qualification.

In other words, the Valley Master of Cannibal Valley before his eyes is actually a fake. Then, since the Valley Master of Cannibal Valley is a fake, could the Cannibal Valley before his eyes be real?

Could it be that he has been played this time?
