What they were about to do was more than just bold.
It was simply audacious beyond belief.
They were planning to infiltrate the Traveling Palace and steal the Star Core!
If they didn’t even dare to infiltrate the Huang Elf kingdom, how could they hope to achieve all of this?
So, after the group fell silent for a moment, they all agreed with Yun Che’s idea.
However, even if they decided to infiltrate the Underground World, it was impossible for everyone to participate.
They had to leave a few people behind to keep an eye on Guan Kelai and Genbeier.
After some discussion, they finally decided to leave behind Anvil, who was a Combatant with decent strength but lacked special abilities, and Aili, who had weak combat power but possessed some control abilities.
Anvil was self-aware and happily accepted the request to stay behind.
Although Aili was somewhat dissatisfied with being separated from Yun Ruoxi, she eventually agreed reasonably.
“We will try our best to return within five days. If more than five days pass and the situation here undergoes significant changes that put you in danger, abandon Guan Kelai and Genbeier and go into hiding.”
Since Lin Zhen was not present, Zi Jiu, who shouldered the responsibilities of the leader, acted like a nagging mother before their departure, tirelessly reminding the two of various things to keep in mind.
Especially regarding Aili.
She was the one Zi Jiu was most worried about.
Yun Ruoxi’s state was strange, and Aili was both a companion and a limiter for Yun Ruoxi. Not even a single accident could be allowed to occur.
After listing over a dozen points of caution, Zi Jiu confirmed repeatedly that they had listened.
Only then did she release their hands and stand up to leave the room.
Outside, an indigenous driver sat calmly at the front of the carriage.
Zi Jiu told him, “We can leave now,” and stepped directly into the carriage.
Yun Ruoxi and the others had already been waiting inside for a long time.
They intended to strike while the iron was hot and infiltrate the Underground World tonight.
Those three Huang Elfs had just learned of their shocking plan and would certainly return to report the matter to Damian. They could follow behind and meet Damian in person.
Crack!
The driver swung his long whip, and the carriage drove out of the courtyard.
***
Half an hour later, just as the carriage arrived at the outskirts of the suburbs, everyone got off at once.
They activated their Mimicry Devices, changed their mimicry appearances, and entered the suburbs on foot.
They didn’t know exactly how many eyes the Huang Elfs had in the suburbs, so they ultimately chose the safest method.
As they neared the Huang Elf outpost, they darted to the foot of the courtyard wall.
“Xiao Xi, it’s up to you!” Zi Jiu said softly.
“Mhm! Everyone, lean in!”
Yun Ruoxi closed her eyes slightly, and a surge of Telekinesis erupted from her body, forming a thin film around them.
Immediately, their figures slowly vanished into the moonlight.
“Xiao Xi, this ability of yours is truly magical!”
Upon seeing himself being carried into the courtyard by Telekinesis and walking right past the Green Elf couple without them noticing a thing, Kaos finally couldn’t help but marvel in a low voice.
As soon as he finished speaking, Yun Che immediately grabbed Kaos and looked at him with a serious expression.
Yun Ruoxi’s Telekinesis could only isolate their figures for now; it couldn’t block out sound.
Kaos was startled by Yun Che’s gaze and realized he had made a mistake. He quickly made a zipping motion over his mouth, indicating that he understood.
[This pair of jokers]
[Invisibility is just too useful]
[Sanji’s dream ability]
[Lao Xi looks so serious on the surface, but do you think she’d secretly turn invisible to peep in the men’s bathhouse?]
[Outrageous]
[When it comes to being sexually frustrated, it’s gotta be Bilibili]
[Don’t be a hater, the 《Starfall》 forum is already full of perverts]
Yun Ruoxi’s gaze casually swept across the Barrage, and her figure paused slightly.
Although she had long since stopped caring about the bizarre comments from the eccentric Audience.
Seeing this particular line of Barrage still gave her a faint feeling of being offended.
“What’s wrong?” Zi Jiu mouthed silently to Yun Ruoxi.
Yun Ruoxi shook her head, indicating she was fine. Then, she used Telekinesis to create a disturbance in the courtyard.
After luring the couple inside the house out, she immediately lifted the wooden bed gently and descended with the others.
Tap, tap…
“These clothes were hanging just fine, why did they fall?”
“Maybe the wind blew them down!”
As the couple walked into the house while talking, the wooden bed happened to land silently and slowly.
It covered the final traces of Yun Ruoxi and the others.
The man’s gaze swept over the room, passing over the wooden bed without noticing anything unusual. He could only shake his head slightly.
It seemed he had been overthinking.

Meanwhile, in the underground passage.
Yun Che draped himself in Shadow, submerging half of his body into the darkness.
“I’ll go scout ahead!” he said to the group.
In the pitch-black and winding passage, someone with his ability was more suitable for opening the path than Yun Ruoxi.
Therefore, the group had no objections and watched him disappear from their sight.
A few minutes later, Yun Che returned and shook his head.
“There’s no one inside!”
“They might have already returned to the Underground World. Let’s move faster; we might still catch up!” Zi Jiu whispered.
After saying that, the group no longer concealed their movements and hurried along the passage, arriving at the cave where they had met before.
The cave was desolate, and indeed, there was no sign of those three people.
They conducted a brief search and found that although some supplies were stored in the cave, there were no signs of habitation, meaning this cave wasn’t even their residence.
They continued downward along the passage at the end of the cave.
And this passage was different from the one used to enter the cave.
It was not only more winding but also extremely steep.
In some places, they couldn’t even stand upright, and in others, there were steep slopes of nearly seventy or eighty degrees.
Even for Star Energy Users like Yun Ruoxi and the others, walking through this passage was exceptionally exhausting.
Furthermore, they didn’t know how long this passage actually was. They had walked for several hours without seeing the end, instead arriving at a layer where the soil texture was somewhat strange.
“It really isn’t easy for the Huang Elfs to come up!” Yun Che said, panting slightly.
To save Star Energy, he had stopped using his ability long ago and handed the scouting task to Yun Ruoxi.
However, he was also the weakest in terms of physical stamina among the group, and he was already beginning to show signs of fatigue.
“Really? I don’t feel much of anything!” Yun Ruoxi laughed.
“You’ve been floating from start to finish, of course you don’t feel anything!” Kaos pointed speechlessly at Yun Ruoxi, who was sitting cross-legged in the air.
“Hehe.” The Blue-haired Girl gave a goofy laugh. “But I’m starting to feel glad I didn’t let Xiao Ai come along.”
“Why?” Zi Jiu asked, supporting herself with one hand on her knee.
“Because she definitely wouldn’t have been able to walk this long. By then, I would have had to drag her along with Telekinesis.” Yun Ruoxi looked at the others.
“By the way, if you can’t walk anymore, just tell me. I’ll use Telekinesis to lighten your load.”
Yun Che shook his head. “No need. Your Star Energy is much more precious than our physical strength.”
“Yeah, we’ll have to rely on you for what comes next!” Kaos nodded.
