The girl wore a white dress, her black hair tied in a ponytail that reached past her waist, bound by a red cord. She gave off an impression that was both clean and slightly playful.
As for her appearance — fair skin, a pair of large, dark eyes — Chu Feng had seen many beautiful women, but this girl was definitely among the upper tier.
Yet compared to her outfit and her looks, what intrigued Chu Feng more was the ornament hanging at her waist. It wasn't some simple bell. It was a strand of wind chimes.
It was rare to see someone wear wind chimes as an accessory.
As for her cultivation, Chu Feng couldn't see through it. She most likely possessed some treasure that concealed her realm.
So Chu Feng shifted his gaze to what lay in front of the girl.
There stood a stone stele. It radiated an ancient aura and harbored a formation within it, while also bearing certain hidden inscriptions upon its surface.
It was an entrance.
At that moment, the girl was studying the stele intently, presumably attempting to break through the formation and enter.
Hummmm—
Suddenly, the girl's white dress fluttered as the power of a barrier surged forth.
"The Grey Dragon God Robe?!"
Chu Feng's eyes shifted. If he hadn't been certain before, he was now almost sure — this girl was a spirit formation genius.
She was most likely a member of the younger generation as well, and for someone so young to wield the barrier arts of the Grey Dragon God Robe made her an absolute prodigy.
What's more, not only was her mastery of barrier arts remarkably high, but her technique for setting up formations was also exceptionally clever — even surpassing that of Bai Yunqing.
"Could this girl be the one that man was talking about?" the Queen asked.
The young man they had encountered earlier, upon seeing Chu Feng, had immediately asked whether he was an accomplice of "that girl." And in that moment, hostility had flashed across his face.
"I'm not sure. Let me reveal myself and find out."
Chu Feng had been in a concealed state, but seeing that the girl didn't seem malicious, and that the entrance was very likely the one he needed to enter, he decisively chose to reveal himself.
At that moment, the girl also noticed Chu Feng and immediately looked over with caution: "Who's there?"
"Rest assured, miss. I mean no harm." Chu Feng held up his hands and said.
"Who are you?" the girl asked.
"I've come here for a matter of my own. I'm unfamiliar with this place. Might I ask why you're here?" Chu Feng said.
"Why I'm here hardly has anything to do with you, does it?" the girl replied.
Seeing that the girl was fully on guard against him, Chu Feng chuckled and descended from the air.
"It seems you're having trouble with this. Why don't you let me have a go?"
As Chu Feng spoke, he began walking toward the stone stele.
"You?"
"Can you not see what level my barrier arts are at?"
"If even I can't break it, how could you possibly—"
She stopped mid-sentence, because Chu Feng had released his own barrier power. The Blue Dragon God Robe. It was above hers.
