Han Hongyue closely followed behind Ye Fei, her beautiful eyes filled with puzzlement as she looked at the ancient steps beneath them, which emanated an aura of antiquity.
"Ye Fei, why were the people previously blocked outside by a mysterious force on the steps? And why can't we feel that mysterious force now?"
Ye Fei responded to Han Hongyue with a slight smile, "Actually, I'm not too sure myself. However, I've heard from my master that the Sects of the Hidden World Holy Land usually have a Mountain Protection Array to guard them, and I think what blocked us before might have been a form of such an array."
"The moment we stepped on the stairs while circulating our True Qi, we triggered the Mountain Protection Array, which then rebounded us back. Moreover, the strength of the rebound likely correlates with the amount of True Qi we apply."
