"Life and Death Ground!"
Ning Fan mused.
This Misty Ghost Forest indeed encompasses life and death, these two extre opposing forces, and is related to the alternation of sun and moon, Yin Yang transformation.
"Nature's wonders! It can actually create such a miraculous place."
Ning Fan extended a thread of mind perception, spreading towards the interior of the forest.
Last night it was only a few ters range of perception, but today it advanced unimpeded, unaffected by this place.
"Truly strange! This day and night are indeed two extres."
Ning Fan questioned, "Where does the corpse aura of the forest co from?"
"I know a bit about this."
This ti it was Ma Fei'er who spoke, "According to our Ma Family's speculation, there is a branch of the Corpse Raising Ground extending beneath this forest."
Ning Fan's eyes were filled with surprise, "Just a branch has such a dense corpse aura, then the Corpse Raising Ground must be..."
Ma Fei'er nodded, still feeling a lingering fear, "The Corpse Raising Ground is an extrely dangerous territory, truly abandoned by heavens."
Most ferocious dangerous territories are not tolerated by heaven and earth, either struck by heavenly lightning or destroyed by techniques like Divine Fire.
But the Corpse Raising Ground remains unpunished by any heavenly phenonon, as if even heaven and earth fear it.
Hence it is called a place abandoned by heavens, aning even the heavens have given up on it.
Upon hearing this, Lin i couldn't help but nod, "Indeed, as Miss Ma says. Even we, wielding secret techniques, only dare to move around the outskirts of the Corpse Raising Ground, never seeing its full view."
Ning Fan spoke solemnly, "If Lin Batian is hiding deep within the Corpse Raising Ground, aren't we just left staring?"
"Absolutely impossible. Lin Batian can, at most, enter the third layer of the Corpse Raising Ground. With Young Ning's cultivation, the third layer's corpse aura is nothing to fear."
Listening to Lin i's confident words, especially after she changed how she addressed Lin Batian, Ning Fan couldn't help but take notice.
"Hopefully, what you're saying is reliable. The sooner we kill him, the sooner you can be liberated."
Lin i bowed and said, "Young Ning, I will definitely cooperate obediently."
"That's good."
Ning Fan waved his hand, "Let's enter the ghost forest!"
The mont the three stepped into the ghost forest, the surrounding dense fog rolled in as if it were alive.
A re step apart, yet inside the ghost forest felt worlds apart.
"This mist appears rather uncanny."
Ning Fan smiled faintly, speaking softly, "Lin i, you lead the way upfront."
"Alright, Young Ning."
Lin i smiled eagerly and nodded, not minding being the one to scout.
This ghost forest, she had traversed countless tis, as long as one doesn't choose to travel at night, there's not even a risk of wild animal attacks.
With Lin i leading the way, Ning Fan continuously observed the surrounding trees.
During the day, with good visibility and no magnetic interference, Ning Fan increasingly felt that these trees seed intentionally transplanted.
The height, thickness, and even the density of branches and leaves of each tree were about the sa, and they were arranged in neat rows, without a hint of complexity.
This place felt like a mirrored space; every new grove easily caused visual confusion.
"No wonder the people of Mo Family Village dare not enter."
Seeing the occasional white bone by the roadside, it shouldn't be unexpected if they belonged to the earliest Mo Family people who entered here.
It was precisely because clan mbers went in without returning that this gradually beca a forbidden area for Mo Family Village.
While leading the way, Lin i turned back and said,
"I heard Lin Batian ntion that this place seems like a natural Soul Confusing Formation."
Ning Fan nodded; he thought yesterday that this forest had the effect of ghost walls, "Then how can you freely enter?"
"Elite disciples of the Corpse Herding Sect receive a mnemonic verse from Lin Batian to exit the formation. Of course, with luck, randomly wandering can also find the true path."
Only then did Ning Fan notice, Lin i kept chanting under her breath, and her directions constantly adjusted, not walking in a straight line.
"If these trees were destroyed, I wonder if the Soul Confusing Formation would still have its effect."
Ning Fan's mind moved, gently throwing a palm strike.
"No!"
Upon hearing the commotion behind her, Lin i shouted in panic, but it was too late.
Ning Fan had already retracted his arm, "These trees are quite sturdy!"
Though it was a "gentle" palm strike, with Ning Fan's cultivation, this palm was sufficient to break a tree large enough to hug.
Yet after striking, even the trunk didn't wobble.
Watching Lin i's anxious expression as she ran over, Ning Fan frowned, "I broke a few lousy trees; afraid they'll co to life or sothing."
"Not that they'll co to life."
Lin i fearfully replied, "Disturbing this grove will cause ghost soldiers to appear."
"Ghost soldiers?"
Ning Fan murmured in puzzlent, eyes fixed forward as the ghost soldiers Lin i ntioned appeared.
After attacking the trees, the corpse aura that disappeared during the day in the ghost forest strangely reappeared, even transforming into humanoid ghost soldiers.
These ghost soldiers staggered ahead, holding broken copper and rusted iron.
Compared to Lin Batian's elite army in the corpse mountain and blood sea, they were far inferior.
Especially their aura varied greatly; the highest was only True Origin Realm, while the weakest hardly qualified.
Though Lin i's Dantian was destroyed and all cultivation lost, she retained her forr insight.
Ning Fan couldn't comprehend how such worthless enemies could frighten her so.
Lin i quickly explained, "Young Ning, you may not know; the greater the damage to the ghost forest, the stronger these ghost soldiers beco. Lin Batian once ntioned a truly Heavenly Gang realm was buried here."
"Is that true?"
Ning Fan seed incredulous, "Even a Heavenly Gang realm can fall here!"
Whether the Pharaoh king who ascended relying on a Divine Artifact or the yet-to-completely awaken Corpse God Lin Xiao.
Ning Fan was well acquainted with how troubleso these fake Heavenly Gangs were; let alone a true Heavenly Gang realm.
"It's true. The golden corpse Lin Batian crafted was from a Heavenly Gang realm's body."
Lin i, fearing Ning Fan wouldn't believe, continued, "Our Corpse Herding Sect sent experts to probe the ghost forest, only for all to die at the ghost soldiers' hands."
There was one thing Lin i hadn't ntioned; her strongest silver zombie belonged to a forr elder.
Sent into the ghost forest by Lin Batian as a probing stone, only for her to get lucky.
"Why didn't you ntion it earlier?"
Saying this, Ning Fan waved his hand, sending powerful palm wind to disperse the ghost soldiers.
These ghost soldiers were too weak; before the palm wind even arrived, Mutated True Qi dissolved them.
"I..."
Lin i truly felt helpless; she was leading well ahead, who'd have thought Ning Fan would idly attack the forest abruptly.
Seemingly hearing Lin i's inner voice, Ning Fan awkwardly smiled before pivoting the topic, "Let try first."
