Having seen the clear outlines of the Inner Valley of The Valley of the Wicked, Hu Xiaobei gradually came to a stop.

The next second, he looked at the three people beside him and said coldly, "We're almost there! Although we've won many times before, we can't afford a single moment of complacency, got it?"

"Yes! We understand!"

Upon hearing Hu Xiaobei's words, they quickly nodded.

They knew that they really couldn't afford to be careless now.

Because previously, those they defeated were merely ordinary people, but now they were facing absolutely formidable opponents.

So, if they truly got careless now, they might really suffer defeat here.

Seeing that they understood the gravity of the situation, Hu Xiaobei said no more and calmly stepped forward again.

They took a deep breath and quickly followed.

Five minutes later, they saw the colossal Inner Valley of The Valley of the Wicked ahead.

Just by looking at it, they all clearly felt that powerful presence.

"This place surely isn't just any ordinary place!"

Praising it like this, they were ready to step forward and continue.

But then they saw Hu Xiaobei gently raise his hand.

Looking at Hu Xiaobei curiously, they asked softly, "Captain, what's the matter?"

Upon hearing their curious questions, Hu Xiaobei pointed ahead and said, "No need to move forward, they've arrived!"

Upon hearing Hu Xiaobei's words, they looked ahead but saw only an empty table and four empty chairs.

"There's no one there!"

Upon hearing such slightly surprised soft words, Hu Xiaobei squinted his eyes and said, "Feel with your heart, not just with your eyes!"

Upon hearing Hu Xiaobei's gentle reminder, they slowly closed their eyes.

In that instant, they carefully started to feel again.

Initially, they felt nothing, but gradually, their expressions changed.

Because at that moment, they felt that the chairs weren't empty.

Four people were sitting there, with one of them looking at them with blood-red eyes.

"So... it was an illusion array covering them!"

Once they confirmed their presence, they watched more intently.

Soon, they discovered that the reason they couldn't see them before was indeed because of the array.

...

"Hmm? Seems like we've been found out!"

When they saw those four people, the four individuals over there squinted their eyes.

"Impossible!"

"Indeed!"

"They shouldn't be able to see us, right?"

Upon hearing such calm words, the other three slightly furrowed their brows.

To their understanding, their mastery of arrays was quite advanced, so how could these people break their illusionary array? Hence, they concluded that it should be impossible for them to see them.

Glancing at the three, the man who spoke explained hoarsely.

"Previously, they clearly underestimated them; now, although they haven't reached the Array Heart Clarity state, they've truly touched its threshold."

"What? You... you're joking!"

The three widened their eyes in astonishment.

Laymen see the excitement, experts peer into the intricacies.

They were absolute experts, so they knew better than anyone how difficult it was to achieve Array Heart Clarity, and it was precisely this understanding that made their eyes widen in disbelief.

Seeing their complete disbelief about his statements, he slightly furrowed his brow and said coldly, "Why? Are you questioning me?"

Upon hearing such absolute impatience, they dared not say anything.

Because they knew he had attained the Array Heart Clarity state, so if he said so, it must be true.

Seeing they dared not utter a word, he turned his gaze to Hu Xiaobei.

He was slightly shocked by the other three's performance, but when it came to Hu Xiaobei, he was more than just shocked.

He felt he couldn't fully see through Hu Xiaobei.

Truly!

Absolutely shrouded in mystery...

It seemed as though cloaked in fog...

"Looks like we truly have a formidable adversary this time!"

With this judgment made, he glanced at the three beside him and hoarsely said, "Let's go! Since our guests have arrived, we should at least receive them properly, right?"

"Indeed!"

Upon hearing this, the three slowly stood up.

They knew that ultimately, confrontation was inevitable, so there was truly no need to hide any longer.

As they stood, Hu Xiaobei smiled.

At that moment, Hu Xiaobei recalled detailed information about the four of them.

There were many proud talents in the Inner Valley of The Valley of the Wicked, but the true prodigies were the four before them.

From top to bottom, they were Gu Zhentian, Gu Miedi, Gu Youran, and Gu Kuangren!

Hu Xiaobei didn't know much about them.

But Hu Xiaobei knew that each one of them was formidable; otherwise, they wouldn't stand proud in The Valley of the Wicked.

While Hu Xiaobei contemplated their detailed profiles, they approached expressionlessly, and suddenly, eight people stared at each other.

Don't lose momentum!

Everyone knew they couldn't afford to lose momentum, so at this moment, they coldly gazed at each other.

Suddenly, the atmosphere was stormy...

After a while, Gu Zhentian laughed.

Quickly, he spoke first.

"You four are really impressive. Previously, I've encountered many from your Hidden Family, but I can assure you; you're the ones who've truly caught my eye."

Upon hearing Gu Zhentian say this, Gu Miedi and others nodded in agreement.

Though they knew they were opponents, they had to admit these few really were remarkable.

Hu Xiaobei lazily glanced at them and said, "You're not bad either! The traps and such you set before were quite interesting! But next time, make it a bit more challenging, lest we think this is all you can muster."

Smiling!

Upon hearing Hu Xiaobei's calm teasing, Hai Tianshao and the others laughed.

Unlike their full faces of smiles, Gu Zhentian and the others' expressions turned sour.

"Some people, ah, tend to be arrogant! But there's a rule in this world; it's not about who laughs first, but who laughs last."

"Don't worry, we'll surely laugh last."

"Since you're so confident, I'm truly eager to engage with you properly!"

Having said that, Gu Zhentian turned around; seeing him turn, Gu Miedi and others quickly did the same.

At this moment, they all felt particularly good, knowing that Hu Xiaobei had clearly infuriated Gu Zhentian.

"Truly courting death!"

Knowing Gu Zhentian's terrifying strength, they secretly praised...

They felt that provoking Gu Zhentian was the gravest mistake of Hu Xiaobei and his team's life...

...

Watching them walk further away, Hai Tianshao and others gathered around Hu Xiaobei.

"Captain, we should be extra cautious later; these people might not take losing well!"

"Yeah, Captain!"

Upon hearing their soft reminder, Hu Xiaobei smiled mildly and confidently said softly, "Don't worry, with me here, I'll ensure you're safe!"
