Looking at Song Yunfei, whose face had turned pale with rage, Chu Feng felt nothing but satisfaction.
After all, Chu Feng had deliberately provoked him. Now that a grudge had already been settled between them, Song Yunfei would inevitably look for opportunities to deal with Chu Feng regardless.
In a situation where there was no room for reconciliation, Chu Feng had to seize every chance he could to strike at Song Yunfei.
But then, without warning, Song Yunfei's complexion actually improved.
He gazed at Chu Feng with a strange look in his eyes, and a cold smile even hung at the corner of his lips.
Chu Feng's heart sank at this peculiar shift, and a vague sense of unease stirred within him.
Hummm— At that very moment, the door to this space suddenly opened, and a figure stepped inside.
Upon seeing this person, many people showed expressions of surprise — even Xia Yun'er among them.
Because this individual was none other than a renowned figure of the Great Thousand Upper Realm — Han Yu.
"Han Yu, how did you end up in here?"
Xia Yun'er asked.
She was genuinely taken aback, for she understood all too well the relationship between Chu Feng and Han Yu.
Chu Feng was already here. If Han Yu had also appeared, things were bound to turn ugly.
"I heard that Brother Han Yu had also arrived nearby. It wouldn't be right not to invite him for a visit, so I was the one who invited him over," Song Yunfei said.
"That bastard — truly insidious," the queen snarled through gritted teeth. She finally understood why Han Yu had worn that strange smile — it turned out he had been pulling strings from the shadows.
"It's fine. The me of today is no longer the me of the Barrier Ethereal Realm. If this Han Yu wants to provoke me, I'll only make him pay an even steeper price," Chu Feng told Eggie.
And once Han Yu entered and caught sight of Chu Feng, his gaze barely shifted to anyone else.
He simply stared at Chu Feng with an intensely vicious look.
"Brother Han Yu, I know you have some history with Brother Chu Feng, but a guest is a guest. Do me a favor — whatever grudge exists between the two of you, settle it another day," Song Yunfei said with feigned sincerity.
"Brother Song, last time this Chu Feng used the Patriarch of the Ancient Snake Clan to help him, and that's how I ended up falling into his hands."
"You have no idea what kind of humiliation I suffered. Now everyone in the Great Thousand Upper Realm believes that I, Han Yu, am inferior to Chu Feng."
"This debt — I must settle it."
With that, Han Yu pointed at Chu Feng and shouted, "Chu Feng! I, Han Yu, challenge you to another battle! Do you dare?!"
The moment these words left Han Yu's lips, all eyes turned toward Chu Feng.
Some felt sympathy for Chu Feng, but none knew how they could possibly intervene.
