But Chu Feng didn't move.
Chu Feng felt something was off.
The head of the Martial Commerce Guild had said there was reliable intelligence that the Prison Sect had people active in both of these worlds.
But now, under the Detection Array, one of these Upper Realms showed not a single trace of the Prison Sect, while the other had several million.
The disparity was simply too vast.
Moreover, if the Prison Sect had truly captured Little Fishy, they would certainly have been well-prepared and wouldn't have exposed themselves so easily.
When things were abnormal, there was bound to be something sinister at work.
"Senior."
Chu Feng turned to an elder present at the location.
This elder had spoken with Chu Feng on the way here, treated him with a favorable attitude, and held a certain degree of status.
"Young Hero Chu Feng, what is it?" the elder asked.
"Do you have any items that carry the Prison Sect's aura? Could you give me one?" Chu Feng asked.
"I do." As the elder spoke, he handed Chu Feng a fragment of a crimson robe.
It was precisely the type of robe worn exclusively by members of the Prison Sect.
And the robe fragment had a formation attached to it, designed to better preserve the unique aura of the Prison Sect.
"Senior, could I use the Teleportation Array to enter the Azure Snow Upper Realm?" Chu Feng asked.
"You may, but Young Friend Chu Feng, the Detection Array has already confirmed that there are no traces of the Prison Sect within the Azure Snow Upper Realm. Why do you still wish to go?" the elder asked.
"Senior, to be honest, the Prison Sect has managed to roam the vast Cultivation Martial World for so long without anyone finding their lair. That alone proves their methods are no ordinary matter."
"I feel that the stark contrast between these two Upper Realms doesn't seem right."
"It doesn't match the Prison Sect's usual patterns of operation," Chu Feng said.
"You believe the Glimmer Upper Realm is a trap, and that the Azure Snow Upper Realm is where the true Prison Sect forces are hidden?" the elder asked.
"It's just my personal guess — I have no evidence at the moment," Chu Feng said.
"Young Friend Chu Feng, if you truly believe that, wouldn't it be far too dangerous to go alone?" the elder asked with some concern.
He was following the orders of Immortal Sea Shiyue.
They had been told to remain here, so they had to remain here.
Moreover, he understood Immortal Sea Shiyue's temperament well — even if he chased after her now to relay Chu Feng's suspicion, she certainly wouldn't believe it.
Besides, Chu Feng had said it was only a guess, with no evidence at all.
Setting aside Immortal Sea Shiyue, even if he himself held military authority, he wouldn't dare take that risk.
As things stood, Immortal Sea Shiyue's decision appeared to be the correct one.
"Rest assured, Senior. I have my own ways of dealing with things."
"I'll go scout ahead. If something truly is amiss, I'll come back and ask for your help," Chu Feng said.
"Very well. Young Hero Chu Feng, do be careful," the elder said.
But before Chu Feng set off, he added: "Senior, you should be able to contact Lady Shiyue through the formation, correct?"
"I can," the elder said.
"Then perhaps you could still relay my suspicions to Lady Shiyue. Even if she doesn't believe them, you could advise her to exercise caution." Chu Feng was increasingly feeling that the Glimmer Upper Realm might be a trap.
The elder hesitated.
The reason for his hesitation was his understanding of Immortal Sea Shiyue — he feared that delivering this message would not only fail to convince her, but would earn him a reprimand instead.
"Senior, the lives of so many members of the Immortal Sea Fish Clan are at stake."
"A little caution never hurts," Chu Feng said once more.
"Very well." Upon hearing these words, the elder's hesitation vanished. Compared to the lives of tens of millions of his clansmen, what did a scolding matter?
He immediately used the Grand Array to contact Immortal Sea Shiyue and relayed the situation Chu Feng had described to her.
