Chu Feng was observing Jie Tianran, while Wen Xue was observing Chu Feng. Through Chu Feng's gaze, she quickly locked onto Jie Tianran in the crowd.
"Oh, it seems he's arrived."
"That old man must be your maternal grandfather, right?"
"So that barrier power spread throughout the Ancestral Martial Star River was also your grandfather's doing?"
"Your grandfather seems quite powerful."
"Being despicable isn't so scary."
"Being powerful isn't so scary either."
"But being both despicable and powerful — now that's troublesome."
"Junior Brother Chu Feng, you've offended someone like this. Your future path probably won't be easy."
Wen Xue rested her chin on her small hand, analyzing Chu Feng's situation with a serious expression.
Chu Feng ignored Wen Xue, but his gaze began shifting back and forth between Jie Tianran and the Ancestral Martial Realm Sect.
What Chu Feng worried about most right now wasn't Jie Tianran.
What he worried about most was that the treasure that was the Ancestral Martial Realm Sect would be claimed by Jie Tianran first.
"Junior Brother Chu Feng, did you really fight your grandfather to a draw using the Seven Realms Sacred Sanctuary's grand formation?"
"What kind of formation could possibly contend with an existence of that level?"
"Wouldn't such a formation be incredibly difficult to sustain?" Wen Xue asked.
"Senior Sister Wen Xue, please don't bother my Brother Chu Feng," Zi Ling said.
The Wo Long Sect Master chimed in as well: "Wen Xue, quiet down."
"Master, I'm just worried about Junior Brother Chu Feng and trying to analyze the situation for him," Wen Xue explained.
The Wo Long Sect Master shot her a stern look.
Only then did Wen Xue shrug and close her mouth.
……
After laying down the Seven Realms Decree, the Seven Realms Palace Master addressed everyone: "Wait here for now. Do not approach the main city of the Ancestral Martial Realm Sect without my permission."
With that said, he flew off alone toward the main city of the Ancestral Martial Realm Sect.
Chu Feng immediately shifted his gaze toward the main city as well.
He knew what Jie Tianran intended to do — naturally, to enter that city.
And Chu Feng wanted to seize the initiative first.
"Sect Master, could you focus the view on the gate of the Ancestral Martial Realm Sect's main city?" Chu Feng asked.
"Of course."
The Wo Long Sect Master activated the formation, and the gate of the Ancestral Martial Realm Sect's main city became increasingly clear.
"No, I can't see clearly through the observation formation."
"Sect Master, could you open the teleportation grand formation and send me there?" Chu Feng asked again.
That gate certainly harbored the method to break through the defensive grand formation, open the gate, and enter the main city of the Ancestral Martial Realm Sect.
But observing from a distance through the formation, Chu Feng couldn't see through it at all. He needed to be there in person.
"I can, but you can't be gone for too long."
"One hour. Whether it works or not, you must return by then," the Wo Long Sect Master said.
"Mm." Chu Feng nodded.
The Wo Long Martial Sect Master then led Chu Feng and the others out of the observation formation.
She opened another door, behind which lay another extraordinarily powerful grand formation.
It could teleport Chu Feng to any location within the Ancestral Martial Star River in a short amount of time.
"Brother Chu Feng, isn't it too dangerous?"
Seeing that Chu Feng was truly about to go, Zi Ling couldn't help but worry.
Chu Feng's current cultivation was far too far from the Seven Realms Palace Master's.
Let alone the Seven Realms Palace Master — even among the Seven Realms Sacred Sanctuary's floating warships, any random elder would be beyond what they could handle.
That was the most powerful force in the vast Martial Cultivation World.
And Chu Feng was still just a junior.
"Zi Ling, don't worry."
These words were spoken simultaneously by Chu Feng and the Wo Long Martial Sect Master.
Chu Feng said this because he had the Divine Deer on his person, and the Divine Deer had already told him she had recovered.
Furthermore, Chu Feng had communicated with the Divine Deer, and she was able to help him evade the Heavenly Dragon Spirit World Master's methods.
As for the Divine Deer's words, Chu Feng trusted them without reservation. He had witnessed her power firsthand.
The Wo Long Martial Sect Master took out a talisman and a jade bottle, handing them to Chu Feng.
"Thank you, Sect Master."
