494 Stratagem Lockdown (1/2)
The Invisible Talisman in Mo Wen's hand still had a lot of strength, retaining at least more than half of its spiritual power. The three of them did not have high cultivation and they only needed to bewitch those ordinary ancient martial art practitioners. So, with just a tiny bit of spiritual power, it was enough to completely turn them invisible. It did not affect the power of the Invisible Talisman by much. Otherwise, Mo Wen would not have been so generous in using it.
The three of them walked to the foot of the city walls. No one had yet discovered them. Both Chen Zi and Zou Guangbo secretly felt surprised. Mo Wen grabbed both of them, one in each hand, and directly flew up the city wall. He brazenly flew past groups of ancient martial art practitioners into the city.
In the end, the ancient martial art practitioners were like blind men stupidly patrolling, not noticing anything out of the ordinary at all. It was as though someone was standing in front of them and they could not see them at all.Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click for visiting.
Chen Zi, whose tiny hands were clenched tightly, finally gave a sigh of relief, relaxing completely. Although it was somewhat risky, at least they had snuck into the city without being noticed.
Zou Guangbo looked diligently at the ancient martial art practitioners guarding the city. After confirming that they truly had not noticed them, only then did he relax. He felt as though he had been dreaming.
In one line, the three of them entered the city without a sound nor presence.
Intentionless City was the main city in the Qingzhen District. Its size and population were more than five times greater than that of Panli City. The city was bustling with activity. People came and went and the streets were busy. One could see ancient martial art practitioners everywhere.
The population of Intentionless City was at least forty to fifty thousand. Among them, half were ordinary citizens. Although the Sacred Flame Sect controlled the outer city of Intentionless City, they did not dare to simply commit genocide. The battle between sects usually would not affect ordinary folk.
Although people could not leave Intentionless City and no one from outside could enter, inside the city was still bustling with activity. Those who ran businesses continued as usual, those who practiced at home did the same and those playing in the streets did not stop. They were not affected much.
The only effect was that everywhere in Intentionless City, be it the small alleys or main streets, the people seemed to be discussing the battle between the Intentionless Sect and the Sacred Flame Sect. Due to the fact that they could not leave the city, this seemed to have become the most interesting topic of conversation for the citizens of Intentionless City. Many people were speculating whether Intentionless City would be changing owners soon.
Mo Wen and Chen Zi walked through the busy streets. They looked as though they were casually strolling, but in reality, whenever they came across someone talking about the Intentionless Sect, they would stop to inquire more.
They had just entered the city and were unfamiliar with the situation inside. They could only obtain hearsay news from the conversations of the people in the city.
”The members of the Sacred Flame Sect surround the inner city. However, right now, it seems that they have not managed to break through.” Mo Wen looked at Chen Zi beside him. After they had entered the city, Chen Zi had bought a bamboo hat and wore it to prevent others from recognizing her.
Intentionless City was divided into the inner and outer city. The outer city was the main city of Intentionless City. As for the inner city, it was a city within a city. It was the area controlled by the Intentionless Sect. In other words, the inner city was the Intentionless Sect.
”Both the Sacred Flame Sect sect leader Mo Zhi and deputy sect leader Tu Zhuang have come. I'm afraid the situation does not look optimistic.” Chen Zi's expression was somewhat worried. As expected, the Sacred Flame Sect had arrived in full force. Two of their intermediate stage Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioners had both appeared in Intentionless City. They were most probably determined to eliminate the Intentionless Sect.
Mo Wen did not say anything, but his expression was solemn. Intermediate stage Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioners were far stronger than those of the beginning stage Golden Elixir realm. Two intermediate stage Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioners were indeed troublesome.
”Young mistress.” Zou Guangbo, who had been gathering intel, returned. He looked around before saying in a low voice, ”The intel groups that the Intentionless Sect set up in the outer city have mostly been eradicated by the Sacred Flame Sect. However, a small group of well-hidden intel groups has not been discovered.”
”Did you manage to get in contact with them?” Chen Zi asked.
”I have gotten in contact with them. Does the young mistress want to meet them?” Zou Guangbo asked in a low voice.
Chen Zi sighed deeply, somewhat indecisive. Right now, Intentionless City was all abuzz. Everywhere there were Sacred Flame Sect ancient martial art practitioners. People who were linked to the Intentionless Sect were all in grave danger. Coming into contact with these intel groups without authorization would very likely expose one's identity.
”Mo Wen, what do you think?” Chen Zi could not make up her mind. She turned her gaze to look at Mo Wen.
”Do they have the ability to investigate the situation in the inner city?” Mo Wen asked with a faint smile.
”They most likely wouldn't be able to,” Zou Guangbo answered. The inner city had already been completely sealed off. If they wanted to know the situation in the inner city, they could only do so by making their way into the inner city. The members of the intel groups did not have such an ability.
”Since they cannot provide us with any intel of value, then there is no purpose in meeting them. They may all be strays hiding without a master. You meeting with them will undoubtedly increase the chances of them being exposed.” Mo Wen spoke plainly.
Upon hearing this, Chen Zi nodded her head. They had better not meet up with the members of the intel groups, because they had no ability to change the current situation. After all, right now, they had no real usable power. Even if they wanted to save the Intentionless Sect, they did not have the ability.
