Deep within the Hallucinatory Forest, Liu Yan flew with the assistance of his SSS-grade special equipment, the Wings of Wind God.

Although the Wind Barrier was filled with chaotic wind attribute elemental powers, it would affect the movements of the Awakened ones at all times.

However, the SSS-grade Wings of Wind God could control these wind attribute elemental powers, allowing Liu Yan to evade their influence.

Moreover, Liu Yan possessed an S-grade Wind Talent, allowing him to remain unaffected by the chaotic wind attribute elemental powers and even use them to enhance his speed.

Despite his capabilities, Liu Yan didn't fly too fast. He purposefully controlled his speed while employing A-grade Traceless Silence and S-grade skill Shadow Cloak.

Under the combined influence of these two concealment skills, Liu Yan remained hidden.

The reason why Liu Yan was so cautious was mainly to guard against the people from Lakon Territory.

After all, the Lighthouse Territory had been destroyed. With the strength of the Lakon Territory, they would be able to hear the news quickly and send out scouts.

Although the Hallucinatory Forest was at a distance from Lighthouse Territory, the presence of numerous tracks left by Lighthouse Territory personnel might have prompted Lakon Territory to send operatives here.

Liu Yan wasn't particularly worried about his safety. He was more concerned about preventing Lakon Territory's operatives from discovering any signs of activity. Revealing such activity could potentially endanger Origin Territory.

Hence, he opted for a cautious approach, considering the chance that Lakon Territory's high-ranking experts might discern traces.

As Liu Yan continued to fly discreetly while maintaining his concealed state, he utilized his S-grade perception skill, Omniscient Insight, to remain vigilant of his surroundings.

After a while, Liu Yan abruptly halted mid-flight.

Under the influence of his S-grade perception skill, Omniscient Insight, Liu Yan sensed that a kilometer ahead, a group of Awakened were active.

Carefully perceiving their actions, Liu Yan gained valuable information.

These team members' strengths were decent but not overwhelmingly strong. The weakest had a 14-star combat strength, while the strongest possessed 16-star combat strength.

Liu Yan himself held a 19-star combat strength, making these individuals relatively insignificant to him.

However, their current actions compelled Liu Yan to approach cautiously because they were engaged in reconnaissance activities. These Awakened were scouting for traces.

Furthermore, Liu Yan recognized the area. It was where he had battled Luo Feng. Although he had tidied up after the fight, his focus had been divided while assisting his Team Origin members.

Combining the strength of these Awakened operatives with their current actions, Liu Yan deduced that they likely belonged to Lakon Territory's reconnaissance team.A combat strength of 14 to 16 stars was far from weak within Lakon Territory, indicating a level of expertise.

Only reconnaissance operatives were composed of experts tasked with high-risk missions.

While Liu Yan could effortlessly overcome these individuals, he saw no practical reason to do so. Eliminating them would serve little purpose as their absence wouldn't significantly impact Lakon Territory's overall strength.

Taking action might also alert the enemy and jeopardize the safety of Origin Territory.

Thus, Liu Yan abandoned the notion of engagement.

Maintaining his stealth state, Liu Yan restrained his presence further, circumvented the operatives without drawing attention, and continued his journey. Liu Yan recognized that even if traces of his previous battle with Luo Feng were discovered, the consequences would likely be minimal. After all, the operatives wouldn't be able to find him or Origin Territory.

Ensuring that Lakon Territory remained ignorant of Origin Territory's whereabouts was of utmost importance.

After evading the operatives, Liu Yan sustained his stealth mode and suppressed his aura. He proceeded deeper into the Hallucinatory Forest.

However, what Liu Yan didn't know was that after he had left, the group of individuals collectively breathed a sigh of relief. Their foreheads were drenched in sweat.

Watching Liu Yan's departing figure, they couldn't help but feel relieved.

"Who is this person? Why is their strength so terrifying?"

"19 stars of combat strength, but his actual strength might exceed that."

"True, judging from the aura, and considering the traces we just found, it's likely he's the one who dealt with Luo Feng. And he did it alone."

"Luo Feng has a secret technique from our territory that can temporarily boost his strength to 20 stars. Yet here's an Awakened with only 19 stars taking care of Luo Feng?"

"An ordinary Awakened with 19 stars wouldn't be able to manage it, but this person isn't ordinary."I think you should take a look at

"If he had attacked us just now, we would have been dead. Thankfully, he seems to want to avoid detection."

"Normally, we wouldn't be able to detect him, but he didn't account for our treasure."

The last person said, looking at the golden sphere in their hand.

Naturally, they were incapable of detecting Liu Yan in his concealed state.

However, relying on this mysterious artifact, they had detected Liu Yan a while ago.

However, after detecting Liu Yan, especially when they realized he was the enigmatic expert who dealt with Luo Feng, they chose to ignore him.Fortunately, they had succeeded. Liu Yan hadn't noticed anything amiss, which allowed them to survive.

With Liu Yan confirmed to be gone, they all let out sighs of relief.

"Hurry up, inform the experts from the territory to come and provide support!"

"This person killed Luo Feng and swiftly wiped out the Lighthouse Territory. His strength is significant, likely with substantial backing!"

"It's possible their territory is deep within the Hallucinatory Forest!"

"I suggest sending experts to pursue and explore!"

A few of the scouts from Lakon Territory promptly reported and took action.

Upon learning of the situation, the higher-ups of Lakon Territory quickly dispatched a sharp knife squad to rush over. They were prepared to venture deep into the Hallucinatory Forest to gather information and eliminate Liu Yan.

Meanwhile, Liu Yan was oblivious to all of this, continuing his journey deeper into the Hallucinatory Forest.

With the Lakon Territory scouts far behind and no risk of discovery, Liu Yan decided to increase his pace, hastening his progress.

After all, today marked the 26th day since the Origin Territory had reached the Wind Barrier. There were only a few days left before the territory barrier would disappear.

The days of tranquility for the Origin Territory were dwindling. Liu Yan had to seize the opportunity.

These final days were undeniably crucial.

Only by maximizing the overall strength of the Lighthouse Territory could they hope to face the forthcoming challenges and crises, and to survive and grow stronger!

Liu Yan followed the guidance of the Withered Tree Spirit King, continuing his journey deeper into the Hallucinatory Forest.

In order to remain concealed and hide his aura, Liu Yan refrained from pushing his speed to the limit.

However, even with this, Liu Yan's pace was far from sluggish. It was quite rapid.

Despite this, Liu Yan still had to travel for over an hour before finally encountering the Hallucinatory Man-eating Flower.

Liu Yan turned to look back. All he could see was an endless expanse of forest, dominated by massive trees.

At this hour, Liu Yan had estimated that he had already covered several hundred kilometers.

To his surprise, these Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers were so deeply situated in the Hallucinatory Forest that it took several hundred kilometers to venture further from the Withered Tree Spirit's domain.

And now, as Liu Yan looked ahead once more, although it was still a forest, it was markedly different from before.

The trees in the forest behind him were extraordinarily tall, even the ordinary trees reached a height of dozens of meters, albeit not the terrifying hundred-meter height of the Withered Tree Spirit.

However, the forest before Liu Yan appeared much more ordinary.

At a glance, the tallest tree seemed to be only thirty to forty meters tall, significantly smaller and akin to the forests on Blue Planet.

Nonetheless, Liu Yan dared not become complacent. He observed that the forest ahead was teeming with various flowers and plants.

There were many Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers hidden in it, filling purple and red fog, and looked extremely strange.
