The juniors of the Chu Heavenly Clan exchanged bewildered glances, their faces a mess of confusion.
They had clearly heard an angry shout coming from that direction.
But no matter how hard they looked, all they could see was the boundary of the hunting ground — the person who had shouted was nowhere to be found.
Could it have been an illusion?
But the voice had been so clear. It was obviously not an illusion.
"Looking for me?"
Just as the Chu Heavenly Clan juniors were puzzling over this, Chu Feng stepped out from beyond that boundary and appeared within their field of vision.
"It's you?"
When the ten Chu Heavenly Clan juniors caught sight of Chu Feng, they were all stunned.
Clearly, none of them had expected this person to be Chu Feng.
At the same time, the people kneeling on the ground also wore expressions of surprise.
They could tell that the young man before them was a junior as well.
But among juniors, who would dare speak to the Chu Heavenly Clan's juniors like that?
Instinctively, they felt that this young man before them was no ordinary figure.
"What a coincidence. We've been searching everywhere for you, and here you walk right into our laps."
The moment those words left his mouth, not only did a look of glee surface on the Chu Heavenly Clan juniors' faces, but they also bared menacing grins.
They were ready to make their move against Chu Feng.
"Wait — how did you get out from there?"
But suddenly, the long-faced man among the Chu Heavenly Clan juniors spoke up.
"It seems not all of you are fools. Someone actually noticed that," Chu Feng remarked with a touch of sarcasm.
"Out with it — how is it possible that you walked straight in from outside the hunting ground?" the long-faced man barked harshly.
In their eyes, Chu Feng had come directly through that boundary, so they assumed he had broken in from outside the hunting ground.
But that defied all logic, which was why he demanded an explanation.
"Outside the hunting ground?"
"Take a closer look. See what this really is."
As Chu Feng spoke, he swept his great sleeve through the air.
Hummmm— The next instant, the scenery behind Chu Feng began to distort.
Before long, that scenery transformed into streaks of golden light, like a golden mist, and dissipated into the air.
And with that, the vast region that Chu Feng had been blocking — a region so boundless that one could not see its edge — finally came into everyone's view.
"So that's what it was. It's a formation. Damn it, we were deceived."
The Chu Heavenly Clan juniors suddenly realized the truth. Learning that they had been tricked, fury surged through them, and their expressions darkened.
"Hold on. Even if someone set up an illusion here, how did you know that boundary was created by a formation?"
Another junior confronted Chu Feng, still not realizing that the formation had been laid by Chu Feng himself.
"Because I'm the one who set up this formation," Chu Feng said.
"Hahahaha—"
But Chu Feng's words only drew roaring laughter from all ten Chu Heavenly Clan juniors.
Clearly, even hearing it from Chu Feng's own lips, they refused to believe that he had created this concealed formation.
Deep down, they looked down on Chu Feng and considered him nothing but a worthless nobody.
"If you could set up a formation like this, then I could create a hunting ground like this one."
"If he can build a formation like this, then I could create the entire Upper Realm."
"Hahahaha!!!"
"Anyone can boast, but at least make it sound believable, hahaha…"
…
All ten of the Chu Heavenly Clan juniors, men and women alike, heaped their mockery on Chu Feng without restraint.
But to their ridicule, Chu Feng simply could not have cared less.
"It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. All you need to know is that it's time we settled our old score," Chu Feng said.
