"Let's head out too."
Chu Feng glanced at Xiao Yueyue, then began walking forward.
Because the fellow wearing the World Spirit robes had moved so quickly, many of the juniors present hadn't even noticed him.
As a result, in everyone's eyes, Chu Feng and Xiao Yueyue were the first to head toward the Nine Heavens Mystic Ground.
"Look, it's Chu Feng — that's Chu Feng!"
In that moment, Chu Feng stirred up a massive commotion. After all, he had already made a name for himself in this entrance trial.
Many people even believed that Chu Feng was the strongest person in the entire trial.
So, once Chu Feng set off, it triggered a chain reaction — everyone followed right behind him.
They all felt that walking with Chu Feng would be relatively safer.
Under normal circumstances, Chu Feng would have advanced quickly as well. Seizing the initiative was indeed important.
But because Chu Feng knew that the Nine Heavens Mystic Ground was no simple place — even though the path they were taking was one his mother had already traversed safely — he still didn't dare let his guard down. Instead, he proceeded slowly.
After Chu Feng and the others entered the gates of the Nine Heavens Mystic Ground, what came into view was a road flanked by mountain peaks on both sides with the path running through the middle.
The moment they set foot inside, everyone felt a restrictive force.
They could fly through the air, but their altitude was limited — they couldn't rise above the height of the mountain peaks on either side of the road.
Getting a bird's-eye view of the entire Nine Heavens Mystic Ground was simply impossible.
Not only was this the case after entering the Nine Heavens Mystic Ground — it was the same outside as well.
Chu Feng and the others followed the road forward. There were no traps, nor were there any so-called Fierce Beasts.
Until they entered a valley, where three roads leading in different directions waited at its end.
"Why are there three roads?" Chu Feng looked toward Xiao Yueyue.
The scroll given to them by Elder Zhenfu had already laid out the route clearly.
However, the description of this place only stated that the leftmost road was for elders and the rightmost road was for juniors, so they were to take the rightmost one.
Chu Feng had assumed there were only two roads here, but now three had appeared.
"Try taking the middle one," Xiao Yueyue said.
Chu Feng didn't rashly attempt it. Instead, he activated his Heavenly Eyes to carefully observe.
"Oh, come on, it's fine — just watch."
As she spoke, Xiao Yueyue immediately set off, dashing at full speed toward the middle road.
The moment she stepped onto it, her figure vanished — as if she had disappeared into thin air, never having entered that road at all.
But the next instant, a teleportation force materialized, and Xiao Yueyue reappeared at the entrance of the middle road.
"See?" Xiao Yueyue grinned broadly.
Chu Feng stepped forward and extended his palm, discovering that his hand could pass through that invisible barrier.
Though only his hand made it through, Chu Feng understood the formation.
That invisible barrier was an extremely powerful protective formation.
The formation wouldn't harm anyone, but it could prevent anyone from entering.
Passing through the barrier meant entering the formation, and just like Xiao Yueyue, one would be sent back by the teleportation force.
"So this road can't be passed through?" Chu Feng asked.
But before Xiao Yueyue could answer, a fair-skinned, beautiful woman with a slender waist and long legs walked up to Chu Feng and gave him a gentle smile:
"Young Hero Chu Feng, this road has never been passable. Throughout the ages, no one has ever found a way to walk it."
Upon seeing this woman, Xiao Yueyue's expression instantly turned murderous.
"Get lost — did anyone ask you to run your mouth?"
As she spoke, Xiao Yueyue raised her hand and delivered a palm strike straight at the woman's face.
This palm actually concealed killing intent!!!
And rather than simply destroying her with the power of barrier formations, she wanted to slap the woman to death with her own hand.
Seeing this, Chu Feng quickly pulled the woman behind him and grabbed Xiao Yueyue's wrist.
"What are you doing?" Seeing Chu Feng stop her, Xiao Yueyue demanded angrily.
"Do you two have a grudge?" Chu Feng asked.
"Master Chu Feng, I don't know this Miss Xiao," said the long-legged woman.
"I wasn't asking you," Chu Feng replied, then turned back to Xiao Yueyue. "Do you have a grudge?"
"No grudge," Xiao Yueyue said.
"Then why go for the kill?"
Chu Feng asked. Though he was no saint, he had never killed anyone without reason.
"Chu Feng, what's your problem? I'm your partner," Xiao Yueyue said through clenched teeth.
"If you're my partner, then you should explain yourself all the more. I will not allow you to slaughter innocent people," Chu Feng said.
"Innocent people? A woman like her deserves to die."
