"Alright, we'll listen to you. The two of us will go back."
Yuwen Hualong and Yuwen Tingyi both nodded, then the two of them walked back. Only Han Yu alone stepped out of the great hall.
At that moment, the people inside the great hall looked at Chu Feng with changed expressions.
They all felt that the relationship between Chu Feng and the Ancient Snake Clan must be extraordinary. Otherwise, the Ancient Snake Clan wouldn't have gone to such lengths to make things difficult for Han Yu.
However, Chu Feng was well aware that he had no special relationship with the Ancient Snake Clan, so he couldn't understand why the Ancient Snake Clan's Clan Chief had ordered them to target Han Yu.
After that, people inside the great hall had been gradually stepping into those pillars of light one after another, glass spheres in hand.
As for Chu Feng, he called Li Xiang and the other two over to his side.
Chu Feng guessed that those pillars of light were so numerous because they likely represented different entrances.
In other words, entering the maze formation through different pillars of light would place you in different locations within the maze formation. Otherwise, there would be no need to have so many pillars of light.
Chu Feng was also worried that once inside the maze formation, if Yuwen Hualong and Yuwen Tingyi encountered Li Xiang and the other two, they would target them.
So, having Li Xiang and the others travel with him meant Chu Feng could at least protect them.
Even if he encountered Yuwen Hualong and couldn't defeat him, Chu Feng could at least take Li Xiang and the others and escape.
But if Li Xiang and the others didn't travel with Chu Feng, then once they encountered either Yuwen Hualong or Yuwen Tingyi, they would be in serious trouble.
"Young Master Chu Feng, let's travel together."
Just as Chu Feng and Li Xiang were about to step into the same pillar of light, Xia Yun'er appeared beside Chu Feng.
However, Chu Feng acted as if he hadn't heard a word Xia Yun'er said and stepped straight into the pillar of light.
Chu Feng didn't want to travel with Xia Yun'er. He felt this woman was far too dangerous, and it would be better to keep his distance.
Li Xiang and the other two, meanwhile, didn't understand what was going through Chu Feng's mind. All three of them stood there frozen, exchanging bewildered glances filled with confusion.
In their view, Xia Yun'er's call had been loud enough for them to hear, so Chu Feng must have heard it too.
Yet they couldn't figure out why Chu Feng hadn't responded.
In the end, they could only arrive at one conclusion — Chu Feng was simply far too willful.
The fact that he would treat even a great beauty like Xia Yun'er this way — if that wasn't willful, what else could it be?
But the three didn't say much to Xia Yun'er. They simply smiled at her, gave her a polite greeting, and followed in Chu Feng's footsteps into the pillar of light.
As for Xia Yun'er, she didn't put on an unpleasant face just because Chu Feng had ignored her.
Quite the opposite, in fact. A more radiant smile bloomed across her exquisite and captivating features.
Right after that, her figure flickered, and she swept into the very same pillar of light that Chu Feng and Li Xiang had entered.
It seemed she had made up her mind to travel with Chu Feng and had no intention of letting him go.
It was worth noting that when people holding transparent glass spheres entered the pillars of light, the light emitted was white.
Cyan glass spheres gave off a cyan glow, purple ones a purple glow, and gold ones a golden glow.
As these different colored lights flickered atop the pillars in the great hall, Chu Feng had already entered what was called the maze formation.
"So this is the maze formation?"
Chu Feng was somewhat surprised. The maze formation was nothing but a vast mountain range — strange rocks littering the slopes, towering trees stretching skyward, vines coiling everywhere. It looked utterly ordinary, and even the mountain paths were clearly visible.
Chu Feng began to wonder whether he had entered the wrong place.
Or perhaps the golden glass sphere held the power to break through the maze formation.
"Something's off."
It was right at that moment that Chu Feng suddenly realized two pieces of information had appeared in his mind.
