While Su Jinyue and the other three were talking, a cultivator walked up to them and looked them up and down, "Are you new here?" He had been here for tens of thousands of years and knew very well who was here. He had never seen these people before, so they must be new here.
"Yes, Senior!" Su Jinyue and the other three saluted. They didn't know what was going on here yet, so they absolutely couldn't offend anyone here, or they would be in big trouble. However, if they tried to bully them, they wouldn't stand a chance.
The monk nodded. "So you still don't have a place to live?"
"Yes, senior! I would like to ask, is there any way to get out of here?" Lu Hanmo looked at the monk and asked.
The monk shook his head and smiled bitterly, "If I could get out, I would have left long ago. Who would want to stay in this damn place?" The divine energy here is rich, but what's the use if your cultivation level doesn't improve? Moreover, every monk who enters here has the same cultivation level. Unless you have your own power here, it will be difficult to live here.
Various forces come here every day to collect protection fees. If you don't pay, you will be beaten up. If it's more serious, you will be driven out of the city. To put it bluntly, whoever has the bigger fist will be the overlord here.
Su Jinyue and the other three looked at each other and then looked at the cultivator.
"Senior! Has no one ever left here?" Zhan Yihan asked. They had to find a way out no matter what. If they were trapped here, who would be able to solve the crisis when it came?
"Anyway, I haven't heard of anyone leaving. Do you need a place to stay? I have an empty house there, and I only want one hundred ninth-level immortal pills a month," the monk said. Here, ninth-level immortal pills are just common currency; top-grade immortal stones and the like are of no use to them.
"Okay." Su Jinyue took out a hundred ninth-level immortal pills and handed them to the cultivator.
The monk took the ninth-level immortal pill and said, "My name is Ma'ao, you can just call me by my name. Come with me." Although he did not have his own power here, he was considered an old man here, so no one dared to bully him.
Su Jinyue and the other three followed Ma'ao and arrived at a small courtyard after twists and turns.
"Besides me, there are two monks living here. They have bad tempers, so you'd better not disturb them. There are two rooms here, you can choose one. Also, if you go out and meet someone who collects protection money, you must pay it, otherwise you will be in trouble." Ma Ao reminded.
"Are there many people collecting protection fees here?" Luo Shu frowned and looked at Ma'ao.
Ma Ao nodded. "There are five gangs here. They roam the streets every day. As long as the monks are willing to pay protection money, they will not make things difficult for you. After they receive the protection money, they will not contact you again within a month."
"Okay, we understand." Luo Shu nodded.
"Excuse me, where can I buy a map of the Holy City?" Su Jinyue asked. She felt that since this place could be entered, there must be a way to get out.
"There are maps for sale in the shops on the street, but I advise you not to waste your time trying. It's useless and you won't be able to get out." Ma Ao shook his head and walked towards his room. He had thought of many ways to leave here, but now he was still trapped here.
