Chapter 541 Trick into the Door

“Sect Leader Chen!”

Most of the people in black Taoist robes were high-ranking members of the Divine Eagle Sect, and they seldom appeared in such peripheral towns, let alone kneel to someone so casually.

All eyes were dull with shock, and the vendor from before looked as if his father had just died.

Uncle Tang’s breathing also became rapid, staring at Chen Yu with a strange gaze.

“Enough, go back to your business!”

Chen Yu waved his hand impatiently, and those black-robed figures hurriedly stood up, then they called over the town’s patrol team to spread the news.

“Sect Leader Chen!” Uncle Tang approached Chen Yu, “Are you a Daoist practitioner?”

After all, having mixed in the secular world for so long, he was somewhat intelligent and quickly guessed something.

Chen Yu didn’t want to stay here any longer and, with a cold glance at Uncle Tang and the nearby vendors, he left the small town quickly with Xiao Xue and Xiao Chun on his back.

The town at the foot of Tianhu Mountain had developed over this period into a city of no small scale.

All the external branches of the Xuanqing Sect had set up offices here.

As the city grew, the population surged quickly, attracting many unscrupulous people.

On the noisy streets, two people dressed as Daoist priests set up a stall, banging drums and gongs, creating quite a spectacle.

“Come take a look, come see, authentic Daoist magic! We can predict fortunes, determine good and bad luck, bring children and blessings, there’s nothing we can’t do!”

With their nonsensical shouting, they quickly gathered a large crowd of onlookers, and Jin Lingsu was among them.

“I say, this isn’t some sort of scam, is it?” Jin Lingsu wore a face full of suspicion.

Having traveled far and wide over the years, she had seen plenty of odd things, including those with supernatural abilities on a daily basis.

One of the tall and thin Daoist priests stood up and clasped a piece of yellow paper in his hand.

“Beautiful lady, we are genuine cultivators, how could we possibly deceive people? I will now perform for you a Five Elements Technique!”

The tall and thin Daoist priest shook the yellow paper in mid-air and began muttering under his breath.

Before long, flames suddenly burst from the piece of paper.

The gathered crowd’s eyes widened in amazement; they had never seen such a miraculous thing.

Jin Lingsu was startled too and quickly stepped aside, trying to find the trick behind it.

However, after observing for a while, she found nothing.

The Daoist priest beside him coughed twice and then stood up.

“To perform the Five Elements Technique, we must communicate with the heavens, which may reduce our lifespan! We kindly ask for some money as compensation for our efforts.”

The onlooking crowd immediately became excited and began tossing money over to them.

Jin Lingsu was still somewhat skeptical, but she felt an urge to throw some money as well.

“You don’t actually believe this stuff, do you?”

This sudden voice startled Jin Lingsu, and turning to look, she realized it was Chen Yu.

“Oh, when did you come back?”

“Just arrived!” she replied instinctively, and Chen Yu stepped forward to grab the tall Thin Daoist by the wrist.

“Did you really think no one would notice you hiding sulphur in your sleeve?”

The tall and thin Daoist’s pupils dilated, and he stepped back hastily.
