Wuling City.

Nanming Street.

Chongwu Tower.

Chongwu Tower is a well-known tavern in Wuling City, backed by the War God Sect.

In the tavern, martial artists often engage in exchanges and duels, attracting a large gathering of martial artists.

This is Lin Zheyu’s favorite place when he first came to Wuling City.

When he first came, he often went to Chongwu Tower, ordered a bottle of wine, got a few side dishes, and gathered information. In this place where martial artists gathered, he could gather a lot of useful information related to Martial Dao.

Later, after befriending Lee Mengqi and joining the Infinite Sect, he didn’t come here as often.

At this moment.

In a private room in the middle of the west wing on the second floor of Chongwu Tower, six young men and women sat around a table.

Their demeanor, conversation, appearance, and attire all seemed quite extraordinary, unmatched by any average noble youth. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

"Mr. Qian, long time no see. How have you been lately?"

Seated near the door, a woman looked at Qian Baiyan and said with a charming smile.

The woman possessed a stunningly beautiful face, skin as smooth and delicate as snow.

Her eyes were like smoke and mist, black and white clearly defined, like stars shimmering in a deep pond, radiating a captivating allure.

"Not well."

"Ever since I parted ways with Mr. Hu, I’ve lost my appetite and can’t sleep, becoming thinner." Qian Baiyan threw a flirty wink at Hu Manqiong, teasingly said.

"If you want to flirt, do it in private later, not in public, it’s inappropriate."

Beside Hu Manqiong, a woman with a cool demeanor and graceful, confident posture, said lightly.

She glanced at Qian Baiyan and continued, "Let’s begin, lest unforeseen changes arise."

"Alright, then let’s start."

Qian Baiyan said with a slight, nonchalant smile.

The gathering wasn’t meant for him and Hu Manqiong to flirt.

Hu Manqiong, that enchantress, had countless paramours under her skirt, and Qian Baiyan was just playing along.

The ruins were far more important than her.

"I’ll begin."

"Over the past month, I found an opportunity to..."

Muu Feng laughed, receiving a signal from Qian Baiyan before beginning to speak.

However, midway through his sentence, the young man opposite him frowned slightly and suddenly shouted, "Who’s there!"

In an instant, the six people in the private room all gripped their magical artifacts, their expressions solemn.

Six powerful spiritual senses swept out from the private room to the surroundings.

"Mr. Tu, did you find anything?"

Qian Baiyan frowned and asked.

His right hand gripped a piece of green jade, his left holding a black stamp base, his expression extremely serious.

His divine sense swept the area centered on the private room, yet he found nothing.

Upon hearing Qian Baiyan’s voice, the others all looked over.

"Someone is spying!"

Tu Xihao said deeply.

His senses were exceptionally sharp; just now, he sensed something amiss.

While unable to identify who was spying, Tu Xihao had unwavering faith in his intuition.

The others exchanged glances, though none spoke, their expressions extremely solemn.

The strength required to spy on them through the Small Ten Thousand Void God-locking Array would be terrifying!

"Where?"

Jing Xinyue’s cool voice reached them.

She didn’t speak aloud but used divine sense transmission.

...

The six in Chongwu Tower were startled by Lin Zheyu’s spying.

Inside Jingshui Tower, Lin Zheyu was similarly startled into a cold sweat by Tu Xihao’s shout.

Although his face showed no expression, inwardly he was extremely tense, his True Essence ready to burst forth.

If he sensed anything amiss, Lin Zheyu would immediately leave, blending into the crowd.

"Have I been discovered?"

Lin Zheyu murmured softly in his heart.

He maintained his sensing field, not immediately retracting it, ensuring it did not create any fluctuations.

If he were to retract his sensing field the moment the shout rang out, he would truly expose himself.

"The others don’t seem to have noticed..."

Lin Zheyu mused silently.

In the private room, he felt a certain familiarity from two of them, seemingly the same two who previously discussed the ruins.

Lin Zheyu often wandered here, using his sensing field to probe, hoping to overhear more of their discussions.

Today, luck was on his side, he finally encountered them.

But his luck was also bad; apart from those two, there was another capable of detecting the presence of his sensing field.

Lin Zheyu waited for a long time.

No sound came from the six in the private room.

They silently sat together, shifting their eyes, making eye contact among themselves, evidently using spiritual sense transmission.

"Seems they are using spiritual sense transmission; guess it’s no use trying to eavesdrop on any valuable information." Lin Zheyu slightly shook his head, controlling his sensing field, slowly withdrawing it.

He didn’t entirely withdraw his sensing field but only left the Chongwu Tower area.

His sensing field covered the surroundings of Chongwu Tower, leaving only the precise area untouched. This way, it wouldn’t alert the six but still allowed for monitoring their movements and guarding against unforeseen changes.

"What level of strength must that person have to detect the presence of my sensing field? Seems like I can’t act recklessly anymore."

Lin Zheyu felt alerted within.

Sadly, sensing fields, while magical, couldn’t probe others’ strength like divine sense could.

The ability to detect strength only worked on ordinary people or average martial artists.

Cultivators possess spiritual power concealment, making sensing fields unable to penetrate and ascertain a cultivator’s power.
