My talisman pen is omnipotent. How should you deal with it?
Chapter 145 Mutual Suspicion
The three of them were stunned by the empty room before them. They looked at each other, at a loss as to what to do.
"No one?" The young monk was the first to break the silence. He scratched his head, his face full of confusion.
"How is this possible? The boss clearly said that this person was upstairs. Moreover, the mark I left also showed that he was here, so why did he disappear?"
The one who spoke was the biggest man among the three with the highest cultivation level. He was tall and strong, and had a very imposing aura. He was obviously the leader among the three.
At this moment, Chu Ci was standing in the corner of the room, with two talismans on his body - the breath-suppressing talisman and the invisibility talisman. It was because of these two talismans that the three people could not detect his presence.
"Brother, look!" The young monk suddenly pointed at the jade slip on the table and said in surprise.
On the table was the jade slip that they had sold to Chu Ci. It seemed that this man must have discovered something, so he placed the jade slip here to attract attention, and he himself slipped away.
"Hmph, this kid is fast." The big man snorted coldly, with an angry look on his face.
The three of them angrily left the room, obviously very unhappy that their prey had escaped.
"What's the situation?" As soon as the three of them went downstairs, the owner of Xianyuan Inn came up and asked anxiously.
"Run away." The young monk replied with a frown, a hint of unwillingness in his tone.
The innkeeper frowned slightly, with an expression of disbelief on his face: "That's impossible, the person was still upstairs before you went up."
There are restrictions in the rooms of the inn. To outsiders, these restrictions seem to be to prevent spiritual consciousness from entering, but in fact they have a more secret purpose - surveillance.
However, the innkeeper would naturally not tell them this secret easily.
He looked at the three people with suspicion, then turned around to look at the waiter who had just served tea, and motioned him to go up and check the situation.
The waiter understood what he meant and walked upstairs with the tea tray. Although he was only at the Qi Refining level, he had worked with the innkeeper for many years and was already familiar with handling such matters.
Countless monks from other places have died at their hands, and this is considered a routine operation.
The waiter knocked on the door tentatively, and then Chu Ci's voice came from inside: "Who is it?"
The waiter was stunned and confused: They just said no one was there, why is someone suddenly talking now?
But he reacted quickly and said immediately:
"Sir, I'm the waiter here. I came to see if you need some water."
"Come in." It was still Chu Ci's voice.
The waiter looked at the innkeeper with an inquiring look, and the innkeeper also looked puzzled. However, he still signaled the waiter to go in and take a look.
The three monks were even more confused at this moment: there was clearly no one there just now, so how come there were suddenly voices talking now?
"Hey guys, didn't you say that no one was inside? What's going on?"
The innkeeper's face was livid, and there was obvious anger in his words.
The three of them were all confused. The leading man frowned and said in a deep voice, "Daoyou, we didn't see anyone when we went in. How come someone responded when your people knocked on the door?"
"I think there's something wrong with you. The person is clearly in the house. What are your intentions?" the innkeeper replied coldly.
He was also in the late foundation building stage, and this was his own territory, so he was not afraid at all.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense. Just as the big man was about to explode, the young monk next to him suddenly said:
"That's not right. Why is there no movement at all? Where is the waiter?"
As soon as these words came out, the innkeeper's face instantly became uncertain. He looked up at the three people, a flash of understanding flashed in his eyes, and he took two steps back, his voice trembling a little:
"You...you are in the same group!"
He didn't know these three people at all. They came to his inn, exchanged a few words of jargon, and then went upstairs. There were obviously people there, but he deliberately said that no one was there. Was he trying to lure them in and defeat them one by one?
Thinking of this possibility, he couldn't help but gasp, and the back of his clothes was soaked with cold sweat.
The three people opposite are all foundation-building cultivators. The leader's cultivation is comparable to his own. Add to that the unknown cultivator in the room, and he's probably going to be in great danger today.
After hearing what the boss said, the three of them were shocked as if struck by lightning.
They exchanged glances and saw deep worry in each other's eyes.
The person in the house chose to pass by the door of his own shop. What is the meaning behind this?
After he purchased the jade slip, he happened to choose this Xianyuan Inn. Why was that?
What is even more puzzling is why there was an immediate response from inside the house when the innkeeper knocked on the door?
Could it be that there was some kind of unknown formation set up in the house to confuse and lure me?
These thoughts spread wildly in their minds like overgrown weeds, making them shudder.
The three men secretly guessed that the people in the house and the innkeeper must be in cahoots with each other. They carefully designed this plan to lure the snake out of its hole in order to lure them into a trap.
It is very likely that they have been ambushed at this moment and it seems that they cannot escape even if they have wings.
For a moment, the atmosphere around became depressing and tense, the air seemed to solidify, making it hard to breathe.
The leading man glanced at the door out of the corner of his eye and found that there was still no movement.
Although he was confused, he was still able to remain calm.
He turned his head and looked at a short middle-aged man beside him. This cultivator named Wang was the one whose cultivation level was second only to his among them.
The big man said in a deep voice: "Old Wang, go and see what's going on."
The monk surnamed Wang nodded, his face full of solemnity. He stared at the innkeeper closely, as if afraid that he would suddenly attack, and slowly backed away to the door of the room.
The reason why the leading man chose to let the cultivator named Wang go was mainly because he was in the middle stage of foundation building.
The innkeeper is in the late stage of foundation building. If I leave, I'm afraid the other two will find it difficult to deal with him.
There is also a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building in the room. If a young cultivator with inferior cultivation is sent to fight, he may not be able to resist.
Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, he chose to let the monk named Wang go and find out the truth.
Monk Wang retreated to the door of the room, saw that it was closed, and kicked it open.
"Brother, there's no one here!" Monk Wang's voice was filled with doubt and uneasiness. He stood in the corridor of the inn, looking across the empty room with a frown on his face.
"Where is the waiter from before?" The big man asked the monk named Wang without turning back.
"He's not here either." replied the monk named Wang, while he leaned forward to take a look into the room.
The moment he leaned forward, the whole person suddenly rushed into the room.
"All of them are not here? This is too weird." The big man frowned and muttered in a low voice.
He turned around and glanced up and down the corridor, only to find that it was empty.
The big man couldn't help but feel an inexplicable chill in his heart. He called out again: "Lao Wang? Lao Wang!"
However, there was no response. The corridor was silent, with only his voice echoing in the air.
The big man's face changed drastically in an instant, and he felt a strong sense of uneasiness and crisis surge in his heart.
He turned around and glared at the innkeeper: "What on earth do you want to do!"
