Chapter 143 A serious situation

After walking and stopping for half a month, we finally arrived at Tengma Mountain. There is a small town here, which is populated by many low-level cultivators and mortals. There are no large monsters around.

In the past, Ma Teng Mountain was a desolate wild forest, a wilderness occupied by monsters all year round. For a while, there were rumors that fragments of a secret realm had appeared here, and cultivators came here one after another in search of opportunities. As a result, the more powerful monsters were killed directly. Some of the people in the town were low-level cultivators who were forced to come here, and some were poor people who could not survive in nearby cities. Gradually, this place evolved into a small town, a self-sufficient town of about 5,000 people.

The fragments of the secret realm caused a big fuss back then, but no one found them, so it was all in vain.

Those who can think it through will stop the loss in time and turn their attention elsewhere. Those who can't think it through have hired people to keep an eye on Ma Tengshan. The longer the time, the more stubborn they become. Therefore, Fu Yao became alert again as soon as she entered the town.

Fu Yao found an inn. From the moment she entered the town, she was stared at by countless pairs of eyes. The feeling of being followed was really uncomfortable. Since she came to the Vortex Realm, she had never felt so uneasy as she did now.

The gazes of those people were as uncomfortable as sharp spikes. Even the surveillance on Blue Star did not make her feel so uneasy. The feeling was even more severe after entering a private place like an inn.

What happened? The appearance of a strange face made them so alert. How should they proceed if they want to find the people from the Lingyun Sect branch?
Fu Yao was feeling anxious. This was really too difficult. She wanted to slap herself twice. Why did she choose this task? But she had already chosen it and there was no way to regret it.

Fu Yao: "Boss, one of the upper rooms, there must be a spirit gathering array in the room!"

There are too many people following me. Any action I take will definitely not be hidden from the natives who have lived here for many years. What's more, there are people in the small town who have higher cultivation than me. If I act in a high-profile manner, I will definitely disappear silently from this world like the heat of the branch.

The bribed cultivator shopkeeper, who was in the late stage of foundation building and had no hope of breaking through, had come to Ma Teng Mountain to look for an opportunity for a breakthrough, but after searching for a very long time and seeing that his life was coming to an end, he suddenly came to his senses and wandered around Ma Teng Mountain, waiting to die!
Originally he only had a few years to live, and his attitude towards life was basically negative and hopeless. But at this time, a Nascent Soul cultivator found him and gave him a mid-grade Golden Core. The price was that he had to open an inn here and keep an eye on the people coming and going and some news about Ma Tengshan.

Having failed to form a golden elixir three times, he agreed hastily as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw. He also used that golden elixir to barely become a golden elixir cultivator, and his lifespan doubled. Therefore, he paid special attention to everyone who came to Ma Teng Mountain, and developed many subordinates to ensure that all information about Ma Teng Mountain was under his control.

Especially, some time ago, a person really found a fragment of the secret realm. After reporting this news, he shamelessly coveted the fragment of the secret realm. However, when he saw that the Nascent Soul cultivator who gave him the elixir brought many people to the secret realm, his eager heart suddenly turned cold, and he could no longer feel the slightest greed!
Since then, the management of the town has become stricter, and strangers are under constant surveillance. The appearance of Fu Yao attracted the attention of everyone in the town, especially when there was no news about the people who disappeared in the fragments of the secret realm. Everyone was even more nervous, fearing that they would be spied on and see things that they shouldn't see.

Shopkeeper: "Fairy, the upper room is not only engraved with a spirit gathering array, but also has a sound insulation array, dust removal array, defense array, and warning array. I guarantee that you will get value for your money, one medium-grade spirit stone per day." The spy shopkeeper looked at Fu Yao kindly, his eyes sincere and enthusiastic. You can't tell at all that this person is a humanoid surveillance camera. He behaved very normally.

Fu Yao broke out in a cold sweat, being stared at like this. Was there some rare treasure about to be unveiled in Ma Teng Mountain?
Fu Yao expressed her incomprehension!
From the information she learned, Ma Teng Mountain was a desolate place, without any particularly famous spiritual plants, monsters, or fragments of secret realms. Logically, there was nothing worthy of attention here, but the fact was just the opposite. The people from the disappeared Lingyun Sect branch might be related to it.

Thinking of this, Fu Yao felt delighted. She originally thought that she would not be able to find any news about her missing fellow disciple for a long time, but unexpectedly, he accidentally ran into her arms. However, the cultivation level of the shopkeeper just now was definitely higher than Fu Yao, and the stalking was so powerful. So, could she handle this matter?
Fu Yao shuddered. The mastermind behind the scenes must be hiding at the top, looking down at everyone. Then her every move was under his eyes. As long as she made the slightest movement, she would be dealt with silently. This was not something that could be handled by someone in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Fu Yao forced a smile and said, "Open one."

He handed over a middle-grade spirit stone and cursed in his heart, what a rip-off shop!
A piece of middle-grade spirit stone is just the same price as other high-end inns in Western Continent. No one knows how they offered this price. It's simply robbery. The key point is that Fu Yao can't just turn around and leave now. Now that she has settled down and is pretending to look around nearby, she is just a speculator hoping to get lucky. If she walks away now, she will most likely be suspected of having noticed something unusual here, and she might be dealt with before she even leaves the town!

The shopkeeper said, "One room upstairs, sir, please come upstairs!"

The shopkeeper gave Fu Yao a meaningful look and took the lead.

Fu Yao's heart was beating fast. She always felt that she was in danger. It was like dancing on a tightrope. It was really dangerous.

Fu Yao let out a sigh of relief after closing the door. Her face fell and she used her spiritual power to search the room carefully inch by inch. In the past, when she stayed in a hotel, she was afraid of surveillance and cameras. Now, in the world of cultivating immortals, she was afraid that the means were even more difficult to guard against.

A quarter of an hour later, a mirror, a conch shell, a box of scented powder and a disguised ornament were found.

They are all used for surveillance. Fu Yao did not expect that such a small room would have so many surveillance instruments. If it were not for habit, who would have thought that such a small room would have so many surveillance instruments!
Fu Yao did not dare to report the situation to the sect master in a loud voice in the room. As for the disappearance of fellow disciples in the branch, she had to ask the elders of the sect for help. She also kept asking the fellow disciples in the Punishment Hall what was going on, what to do next, how to investigate the missing fellow disciples, and how to contact them. There were so many questions now that her head was about to explode!
