Bai Chen regretted asking the question, but he couldn't take it back either. Besides, there was no use regretting it because Wu Jinhai would still do the thing he wanted to do even if Bai Chen didn't ask any questions.
The masked man said that he had exhausted his energy looking for Bai Chen all the way from the Xinyang Imperial Palace to this forest that was nothing but the border between Wu Li and the demon, but that man still had enough energy to create a golden barrier separating them from the outside world.
Bai Chen still remembered that barrier. When he was angry at Wu Jinhai when they were still in the Forbidden Forest for Beast Hunting Event, the masked man lulled him to sleep before laying him on the ground, and the man also created a barrier similar to this one to block his body from the outside world at that time. Back then, the barrier not only protected Bai Chen from the dangers outside but also prevented him from escaping.
