The two walked into a shop, and a clerk came up to greet them. "Welcome, gentlemen! We have all kinds of magical instruments, talismans, and elixirs. What could you possibly need?"
"Excuse me, do you have maps of space rifts for sale here?" Su Jinyue asked.
The waiter smiled and nodded, "Did you two guests just come in from outside?"
"How do you know?" Su Jinyue asked.
"Everyone in the Lost City knows that even if you buy a map, it's useless because there's no way out," the waiter said. When the monks first came here, they all wanted to get out, but after buying a map and searching for a few years, they all returned to the Lost City.
"Why?" Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan asked in confusion.
"The exit of this space rift is erratic and changes daily. Unless you're lucky enough to stumble upon the exit, even if you search the space rift for hundreds of years, it will still be the same," the man said. He wasn't worried that his words would prevent the other party from buying the map. Many people have this mentality, always believing they'll be the lucky one.
Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan frowned, but they also felt relieved. If that was the case, the woman must still be in this spatial crack.
"How many spirit stones does a map cost?" Zhan Yihan asked. Even if he couldn't get out, he wanted to know how big this spatial rift was.
"Ten top-grade spirit stones." The guy smiled and took out a jade slip of a map.
Zhan Yihan handed the waiter ten high-grade spirit stones and took the jade slip of the map he handed him. "May I ask if anything has happened here recently?" The guard had said no one had come to the Lost City, but that woman was so powerful that it wouldn't be difficult for her to take control of the place. If the guard was lying, the woman would have surely received the news of their arrival.
The clerk glanced around and said softly, "Recently, a powerful person came to the Lost City. She is very powerful. She killed our young city lord and took control of the city lord's mansion."
Zhan Yihan and Su Jinyue exchanged a glance, thanked the clerk, and quickly walked out of the shop. This was not a place to stay for long; they had to leave the city as soon as possible.
In the City Lord's Mansion, a woman in red was lazily leaning on the couch.
At this time, there were footsteps outside, followed by a respectful voice from outside, "City Lord! There is news about those two people." Now the woman has replaced the original city lord and become the new city lord here.
The woman raised her eyebrows and said lazily, "Come in and talk." After she knew that the exit of this space crack was an indirect exit, she expected that Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan would come to the Lost City sooner or later. All she had to do was wait here for them to fall into her trap.
"Yes!" the other party responded and walked into the room.
After bowing to the woman in red, the handsome man said, "I just received news that the two people have entered the Lost City and are now buying map jade slips in a shop." He was originally the guard of the city lord, and after the woman in red replaced the city lord, he became her guard.
"Take your men and capture them," the red-dressed woman ordered. Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan were at the mid-to-late Mahayana stage, respectively, and at the early stages of the Tribulation Crossing stage. Most of the guards in the Lost City were at or above the Tribulation Crossing stage, so capturing them would be easy.
Most of the cultivators in the Lost City have been there for tens of thousands of years. Although there are wind blades outside the city, it is an excellent place to cultivate spiritual consciousness and refine the body. Therefore, most of the cultivators in the Lost City are body cultivators, and their physical strength has reached the heavenly level or above.
Although it was impossible to leave this place, the spiritual energy was even richer than that of the Tianyue Continent. While cultivators could not ascend, it was not difficult for them to cultivate to the Tribulation Crossing stage or above. Over time, the number of cultivators who crossed the Tribulation Crossing stage increased. If her cultivation had not reached the early stage of the Golden Immortal, it would not have been easy for her to control this place.
