After less than half a day, the group arrived at the Star Constellation Hall.
Upon entering, Lu Ye immediately saw at least a hundred male merfolk gathered inside. These were clearly the manpower Yan Miao had dispatched earlier.
Seeing Yan Miao arrive, one of the male merfolk stepped forward and respectfully reported to her. After listening, Yan Miao said something else.
Only then did she turn to Lu Ye. "Little friend, let us go out and take a look."
"Alright." Lu Ye naturally had no objections. He also wanted to find out what Yan Miao meant when she said these merfolk could not approach the outskirts of the Divine Temple.
Very soon, the large group of merfolk left the Star Constellation Hall and came outside.
At Yan Miao's instruction, the merfolk surged toward the Star Constellation Hall from every direction. Yet Lu Ye could clearly see that the closer any merfolk came to the hall, the harder it became for them to advance. It was as though the entire Star Constellation Hall exuded an invisible force field that was preventing the merfolk from approaching.
Almost all the merfolk stopped three zhang away from the Star Constellation Hall, their expressions strained as they contended against the unseen force.
That was strange. Lu Ye had been weeding here all along before this, yet he had never encountered such a thing.
Could it be that some change had occurred in the Star Constellation Hall during the few days he had been away? If so, that would be troublesome.
With that thought, he hurriedly flew forward. Under the astonished gazes of the merfolk, he easily pressed himself against the wall of the Star Constellation Hall without meeting the slightest obstruction.
He tried removing the seaweed from the wall, and there was no problem whatsoever.
