Chapter 324: Lockdown? (2/2)

Her face was calm, but a sense of dignity could be felt from it. But the moment Lin Mu's spirit sense touched her, she felt it and became alert.

'She's a cultivator too. A peak stage qi refining realm cultivator.' Lin Mu thought and immediately pulled his spirit sense back.

But before it could leave the carriage the mayor's wife intercepted it with her own spirit sense trying to find its source. She kept on following it, but soon realized that it had gone beyond her range. Her face became even more alarmed after this.

Meanwhile, Lin Mu walked away from the area, unaware that he had just scared the woman.

”Guards!” The mayor's wife shouted.

The carriage stopped moving and a group of guards surrounded it. One of them who seemed to be the leader waked closer and cupped his hands.

”Do you have any problems, madam?” The leader of the guards asked respectfully.

”I sensed a cultivator spying on me…” The woman spoke.

Now it was the turn of the guards to become shocked.

”But madam, we were alert and didn't sense anyone approaching.” The guard spoke.

”I know but the cultivator's spirit sense came from quite far.” The woman spoke.

”Madam, you mean…” The guard leader gulped at that sentence.

”There is a core condensation realm cultivator in the town. Someone sneaked in…” The woman spoke.

”But madam, why would they do that? Any core condensation realm cultivator would be an honored guest that would get the utmost respect. If they wanted to meet you, they would have to merely mention it. Even the mayor would not reject it.” The guard replied.

”You think I don't know that?” The woman scolded. ”What other reason is left? What do you think, you imbecile?”

”A spy?” The guard muttered as he realized.

”GO! I WANT THIS DISTRICT UNDER LOCKDOWN! Entry and the exit to the city will be stopped until further notice! I want a list of each and every person that entered the city in the past three days.” The Guard leader ordered the others.

”YES LEADER!” The guards replied and went to do their tasks.

The carriage was turned around and went back into the manor while all the people around were gossiping about what had just occurred.

Lin Mu though, had gone quite far from the spot and didn't know that his casual probe had alerted all of the guards of the city now. He was now visiting all the shops that he found interesting and buying stuff from there.
