The Free and Unfettered Sect.
"Sect Master, there's news!" An urgent voice came from the doorway, followed by a series of hurried footsteps.
"Come in!" Jiang Wanwan's voice was steady and powerful.
"Sect Master, someone just posted Jun Ye's whereabouts on the microblogging platform." The disciple who came to report was excited, with fine beads of sweat on his forehead. He quickly projected the message from the microblogging platform into the air. It showed Jun Ye, whom Xiao Guang had been searching for for a long time, and it was also updating Jun Ye's latest information in real time.
"Tell me in detail!" Jiang Wanwan's gaze sharpened as she stared intently at the projection in mid-air, her expression serious and focused.
"Sect Master, according to the information here, Jun Ye seems to have appeared in the Xingshan County area!" the disciple said quickly, panting heavily.
"Continue to monitor the situation closely, and inform everyone to act cautiously and avoid direct confrontation with him!" Jiang Wanwan waved her hand and issued the order.
After her disciple left, Jiang Wanwan first sent a communication talisman to the authorities. Then, with a solemn expression and a determined look, she immediately summoned the experts within the Xiaoyao Sect.
"Gentlemen, Jun Ye's whereabouts have been found; he is in Xingshan County. This time, we must surround and annihilate him, and we absolutely cannot let him escape again!" Jiang Wanwan's voice was firm and powerful, full of determination.
"Yes, we will obey the sect leader's command!" the experts responded in unison, each one eager to fight and in high spirits.
"We must be extremely careful in this operation. Jun Ye is cunning and treacherous, so we must be fully prepared. We must capture him this time!" Jiang Wanwan emphasized again, her eyes revealing an unwavering determination.
"Wanwan, should we invite Senior Yingyao along?" Yan Ziyan asked hesitantly as he was about to leave.
"Shenlong is currently at a crucial moment in his breakthrough, so don't worry! Our sect has many experts now, so dealing with Jun Ye will be a piece of cake." Jiang Wanwan crossed her arms, looking confident and her eyes full of certainty.
Xingshan County.
Junye found an inn on Wenchang Street, intending to rest and gather information before taking action.
He walked several streets before finding a hotel called Ruyi Hotel. From the outside, the hotel was not large, with a somewhat mottled vermilion door and a plaque above the door that read "Ruyi Hotel".
Stepping into the hotel, the lobby was fairly tidy, with several wooden tables and chairs arranged in a pleasing, staggered fashion. The floor was paved with bluestone, some areas worn smooth by time. A few potted plants were placed in a corner of the lobby, adding a touch of life to the slightly worn environment.
The moment Junye stepped into the hotel, news of his arrival became the top trending topic on social media.
The owner of Ruyi Hotel was on high alert and hurriedly gave the customer service staff a secret talk, telling them not to reveal Jun Ye's identity and to block all online information related to Jun Ye's wanted status.
Welcome!
As soon as Jun Ye entered the lobby, he was so startled by the sudden sound that he almost launched a counterattack. However, after realizing that the sound came from an ordinary ceramic cat on the counter that had no spiritual power, he withdrew the spiritual power that was swirling around his fingertips.
"Guest, are you looking for a room?"
Standing behind the counter, Boss Zhou wiped the cold sweat that kept dripping from his temples and cautiously spoke to Jun Ye, who was looking around.
"Can I pay with spirit stones?" Jun Ye had seen many people on the street paying for things, some with paper money and others with spirit stones.
"Of course, how many days do you need the room for?"
"Three days' worth first! No need to look anymore!" Jun Ye arrogantly took out a low-grade spirit stone and threw it on the table, his eyes looking down on everyone with unruliness and arrogance.
Boss Zhou hurriedly took the spirit stones and nodded in agreement. At this moment, he dared not ask him for identification or anything like that. He simply booked him the most luxurious suite on the top floor.
After Jun Ye left with the customer service staff, he slumped into a chair like a deflated balloon, panting heavily.
Then, he hurriedly took out his phone and quickly reported Junye's check-in information to the authorities.
So, while Jun Ye was immersed in the modern luxury decoration and the home appliances he had never seen before,
Officials from the Xuanmen sect quickly took over Xingshan County.
Under the organization of the Xuanmen sect, ordinary people in Xingshan County evacuated to the nearest air-raid shelter in an orderly manner overnight. Boss Zhou even led his employees and hurriedly fled overnight.
That evening, the officials from the Xuanmen sect surrounded the Ruyi Hotel with three layers of security, both inside and out.
Jun Ye made a mess of the room but couldn't figure out what was wrong. Finally, he scooped a glass of water from the toilet, stood by the window, drank it while looking outside, and that's when he realized something was amiss.
Outside the window, the once bustling street was now deathly silent. The dim streetlights cast a faint glow in the silence, illuminating the deserted street indistinct shadows.
A chilly wind whistled, swirling a few fallen leaves through the empty street. Shops in the distance stood with their doors tightly shut, their signs creaking and groaning in the wind. The entire street seemed to have been drained of life in an instant, falling into an eerie stillness.
