These vines are terrifying; each one is as thick as a thigh.

However, once you get closer, you'll find that these aren't vines at all, but a large patch of purplish-red thorns!

These vines, covered with long, sharp thorns, formed an endless thicket of brambles, preventing anyone from advancing an inch.

Emerald green vines swayed in the air, accompanied by eerie rustling sounds.

Although nothing seemed amiss, the rustling sound grew louder and louder, as if something was rapidly approaching.

"Watch out! It's a demonic vine!"

A disciple of the Tianyin Sect exclaimed in surprise.

Before she could finish speaking, the vines suddenly moved, attacking the group with astonishing speed. Lin Yitang reacted quickly, grabbing her junior brothers and sisters and retreating swiftly.

"Everyone, retreat quickly! These demonic vines are no pushovers!" Lin Yitang shouted.

The disciples of the Tianyin Sect reacted immediately, summoning their magical artifacts and engaging the demonic vines in battle.

Most of them were music practitioners; some played wind instruments, some chanted incantations, and some plucked strings.

In an instant, various sounds echoed in the forest, and the sound waves of the sound cultivator, carrying spiritual power, struck the demonic vine wave after wave.

However, there were simply too many demonic vines. One wave was repelled, only to be followed by another. For a time, the group, besieged by the demonic vines, seemed somewhat overwhelmed. They brandished their magical weapons, barely managing to fend off the vines' attacks, but they were already wounded and injured.

"what!"

A scream rang out as a cultivator in the early stages of Foundation Establishment was pierced in the chest by the demonic vine. Blood gushed out, and he collapsed to the ground in agony, his eyes gradually losing their light.

A chill ran through everyone as fear crept into their hearts. They realized that if they didn't leave the Demon Vine Forest soon, many more people would likely perish there.

Just as everyone was in despair, a clear, cold voice rang out: "Don't panic, stay close to me!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Lin Yitang, holding a spirit blade, charging into the grove of demonic vines without hesitation. The blade flashed, and a row of thick demonic vines was severed in half, scattering across the ground.

Her movements were swift and agile, each strike powerful and unstoppable. With a series of hacks and slashes, she carved a bloody path through the demon vine forest.

Everyone was stunned; they had never witnessed such power before. Led by Lin Yitang, they followed closely behind, carefully dodging the attacks of the remaining demonic vines.

Gradually, the end of the Demon Vine Forest appeared before them. Lin Yitang swung her spirit blade, severing the last demon vine blocking their path, and then turned to the group, saying, "Come on, we've passed through the Demon Vine Forest."

Everyone hurriedly followed, their faces filled with relief at surviving the ordeal.

As they watched Lin Yitang's retreating figure, their hearts were once again filled with admiration and gratitude. If it weren't for Lin Yitang, they probably wouldn't have been able to leave the Demon Vine Forest alive.

"Senior sister is truly amazing!" a female disciple couldn't help but exclaim, her voice filled with admiration.

The others nodded in agreement. They knew all too well how important it was to have a powerful ally in this perilous secret realm. And Lin Yitang was undoubtedly the most reliable one.

The disciples of the Tianyin Sect expressed their admiration and gratitude for Lin Yitang in turn.

"Senior Sister is truly too powerful! She's clearly at the same early Foundation Establishment stage as us, but while we struggled so much against the Demon Vine, you dealt with it so easily without even sustaining a scratch. I've never seen such a strong early Foundation Establishment cultivator before!"

"Yes, Senior Sister, your strength is simply unfathomable! With you here, we feel much more at ease."

"Senior sister is not only powerful, but she also cares about us so much. Even though we're not from the same sect, it's really touching."

Lin Yitang frowned and said to everyone with a solemn expression, "Everyone, now is not the time to relax. Although we have passed through the Demon Vine Forest, there are probably more dangers waiting for us ahead."

Upon hearing this, everyone tensed up and immediately became on guard.

They knew that Lin Yitang's words were true; in this perilous secret realm, no one could afford to be careless.

As expected, the scene before them changed dramatically as soon as they stepped out of the Demon Vine Forest. Before them stretched an endless sea of ​​flowers, each a riot of colors vying for attention and emitting a captivating fragrance. However, these flowers were enormous, some several people tall, resembling gaping maws of monsters, inspiring awe and fear.

Lin Yitang looked around warily and whispered, "Be careful, these flowers are probably not simple."

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately followed Lin Yitang, carefully making their way through the sea of ​​flowers. However, just as they passed a patch of purple flowers, a sudden change occurred.

Suddenly, the purple flowers came to life, their petals rapidly closing to envelop a male disciple. He only had time to utter a terrified scream before being swallowed by the flowers and vanishing into the sea of ​​blossoms.

"It's a man-eating plant!"

Some people's expressions changed, and they immediately adopted a defensive posture.

Everyone took out their magical artifacts and warily surveyed their surroundings. They discovered that these enormous flowers seemed to possess a spirit, slowly closing in on them.

Lin Yitang flashed to the front of the group, her blade flashing like lightning as she slashed at the nearest man-eating flower. However, these man-eating flowers were exceptionally tough, their petals as hard as iron. Lin Yitang's blade clashed with them, producing a piercing scraping sound.

Seeing this, the others joined the battle. Sound waves rippled outwards, spiritual energy surged, and a fierce battle ensued against the man-eating plants. However, the man-eating plants were numerous and possessed astonishing defensive capabilities, rendering their attacks largely ineffective.

A female disciple was struck by a petal from a man-eating flower, flying backward and spitting out a mouthful of blood. Her face was deathly pale, clearly indicating she had suffered a serious injury.

Seeing this, Lin Yitang felt anxious. She sensed that each of these man-eating flowers probably possessed the strength of a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator. If they couldn't be dealt with quickly, her and everyone else's situation would become even more dangerous.

Therefore, she planned to use the Void-Severing Blade, but only with one-tenth of her spiritual energy.

"Everyone, be careful!"

With a clear shout, Lin Yitang's spirit blade suddenly burst forth with dazzling light. A wisp of spiritual energy pierced through the sea of ​​flowers, and wherever the blade's light reached, the petals of the man-eating flowers scattered.

Seeing this, everyone was overjoyed and also activated their spiritual power to enhance their strength. Led by Lin Yitang, they were like a sharp sword, cutting a path through the sea of ​​flowers.

After a fierce battle, the group finally broke free from the man-eating flowers' encirclement. They lay on the ground, panting heavily, their bodies bearing injuries of varying degrees of severity. However, their eyes were filled with the relief of surviving a calamity, and even greater admiration for Lin Yitang's strength.

They really didn't expect that Lin Yitang, who was so powerful, was still hiding her strength. The attack that eliminated these man-eating flowers was much stronger than the attacks from the demon-slaying vines!

This made them feel that Lin Yitang was even more unfathomable.

However, at the same time, some unusual fluctuations in spiritual energy caught their attention.
