Just as the Zhuge Family elders were carefully examining the group, a woman among the blue-robed figures—cradling a white cat in her arms—suddenly raised her head.
Her gaze locked directly onto the three Zhuge Family elders.
"Oh my, could these be people from the Zhuge Family?"
The woman had a bewitching appearance, but her smile at this moment was decidedly sinister.
"Not good! Quickly, notify the Patriarch!"
The gray-haired elder's expression changed drastically, and he was about to turn and leave.
"You think you can go?"
At those words, the black-haired woman let out a cold laugh. Then her eyes, which had been pitch-black, suddenly shifted to a grayish-white hue.
Ugh—
In the next instant, the three Zhuge Family elders hovering in the void turned to stone statues and plummeted from the sky.
Immediately after, the group of blue-robed figures set off together, flying toward the Zhuge Family's territory at tremendous speed.
…
After entering the ancient teleportation formation, Chu Feng and his group did not head toward the Star Domain's main world. Instead, they traveled to a nearby star domain that was closer.
"Can you tell us now?" Holy Light Elder Bai Mei asked.
"I won't keep it from you all. I've had my eye on something in the Zhuge Family for a long time, but out of respect for my relationship with the Zhuge Family Patriarch, I've held back from making a move."
"However, I've actually infiltrated the Zhuge Family on multiple occasions over the years and have already secretly set up a teleportation formation."
"The teleportation formation I've prepared can penetrate the Zhuge Family's protective barrier, allowing us to sneak inside."
Grandmaster Yin Ren explained.
"Grandmaster Yin Ren, what you say—is it true?"
"Will that teleportation formation actually work?" Chu Feng pressed.
"The teleportation formation can only be used once. I haven't tested it myself yet, but it will absolutely work."
"The Zhuge Family just sent people to secretly monitor us—surely you all noticed. That's why we have to pretend to leave."
"For now, we'll head to the nearby Treasure Netherworld. Although the Treasure Netherworld is very close to the Zhuge Family, it's also a place where Spirit World Masters gather, so they shouldn't grow suspicious."
"Once we enter the Treasure Netherworld, we'll immediately use another teleportation formation to return to the Zhuge Family."
Grandmaster Yin Ren said.
"Even if we can sneak into the Zhuge Family, will we really be able to avoid detection?"
"After all, they have such a powerful protective barrier."
Holy Light Elder Bu Yu raised a concern.
"Since I was able to set up a formation that can bypass that protective barrier, I naturally also have methods to evade their detection."
Grandmaster Yin Ren spoke with absolute confidence.
Following that, they carried out the plan as Grandmaster Yin Ren had outlined.
After arriving at the Treasure Netherworld, they immediately set off back toward the Zhuge Family's world.
However, this time when they emerged, they not only came out through a different ancient teleportation formation that was a bit farther away—they had also concealed their auras with a formation before exiting.
Then, guided by Grandmaster Yin Ren, they arrived above a vast plain and dove deep underground.
Before long, they discovered a barrier gate hidden far beneath the surface.
This barrier gate was extremely well-concealed. Without Grandmaster Yin Ren leading the way, they never would have found it.
The moment they saw the gate, Chu Feng and the others instinctively turned to look at Grandmaster Yin Ren.
If they had still harbored some doubts about the teleportation formation Grandmaster Yin Ren had described before, those doubts were now more than half dispelled upon seeing this gate.
Just looking at the gate was enough to tell them this was no ordinary formation.
The gate was not made purely of barrier power—it was built upon rare materials as its foundation.
What made the material so extraordinary was that it possessed teleportation properties. It was the first time Chu Feng had ever encountered such a material.
"Everyone, put these on."
Next, Grandmaster Yin Ren produced several cloaks and handed one to each of Chu Feng and the others.
The cloaks were made of cotton and linen and looked rather worn and tattered, but the moment Chu Feng and the others held them, they all sensed just how extraordinary these cloaks truly were.
"These cloaks can only be used once, but their effect is exceptional."
"Watch carefully—this is the incantation used to activate the cloaks."
