Chapter 2342 - 2343: An Unbelievable Discovery
"The level of vigilance is quite low."
As Agunas spent more time observing that group of people, it felt that they had quite a few issues; not only were their transactions rather casual, but their vigilance was also very low. At the very least, they never suspected Feng Yuan’s identity at all.
These people had encountered Feng Yuan before, yet they completely didn’t question Feng Yuan’s identity. Didn’t they find it strange that an Ascetic would show up here?
Swishing its tail, Agunas hid in Subspace and silently watched them—what exactly is going on with these people?
Their low vigilance was beneficial for tracking them, but Agunas couldn’t help but suspect they were bait thrown by Kashantuosi Remnants due to such low vigilance.
By the time Feng Yuan returned, Agunas was still watching that group of people. At the moment, they were busy trading and purchasing, but because of the storm, all food from Lordeman City was banned from being sold externally.
Initially, nobody expected anyone from outside to come in at this time anyway.
"It’s quite strange that their main transactions are focused on resources. No, not just that, I understand they aren’t short on food, but why are they purchasing clothing and fabric from Lordeman City?"
Veronia found it perplexing to understand their actions. If it’s to acquire resources, why would they lack fabric materials when they don’t even lack food?
Could it be that their living conditions are awful?
But that can’t be right. With the technology of Kashantuosi Remnants, those things shouldn’t be too challenging for them.
Feng Yuan was also observing that group, watching them trade. Feng Yuan suspiciously said:
"Could it be related to their technological losses? Like part of their technology went missing, but even then, farming and livestock aren’t particularly difficult tasks. There’s no way they live in barren lands, right?"
Finding himself unable to understand what that group was up to, Feng Yuan felt a bit helpless. Their actions seemed oddly peculiar.
"Indeed, what’s actually going on with this group? They look quite strange."
Veronia tilted her head, looking puzzled, and what Feng Yuan said also made sense—what exactly were they up to?
"Who knows, we can only wait."
Shrugging his shoulders, Feng Yuan didn’t know what was going on with this group either.
Due to the super snowstorm, no merchant convoy appeared except for the suspected convoy from Kashantuosi Remnants.
According to Milos Lulu, even after the storm passed, it took half a month for the imperial city to open the route to the nearest city.
Though the super snowstorm successfully prevented disaster for Coletos, it buried many villages under pristine snow.
The suspected convoy from Kashantuosi Remnants stayed in Lordeman City for three whole days before leaving, hauling traded goods on a wagon.
Seeing this, Feng Yuan and the others naturally hid their presence and followed.
The leader of the convoy once again took out a Lantern and carved a tunnel through the snow wall. Due to the low temperatures in recent days, there was no sign of the snow melting.
According to Milos Lulu, it would take half a month for the snowstorm’s snow to slowly melt as temperatures rise.
"This is actually quite difficult to track."
Understanding that the tunnel remained intact due to the Lantern’s force field, Feng Yuan also knew they couldn’t enter the tunnel; otherwise, they might get discovered.
Although they were in Subspace, no one dared say if the field could detect targets in Subspace.
To be safe, the best choice was to keep their distance and watch from the outside. However, by doing so, if they opened a Space Gate, they wouldn’t be able to detect it timely.
Considering it, Feng Yuan released his Divine Sense. Compared to spiritual power, his Divine Sense was much less likely to be detected since it exceeded the world’s inherent limits.
Feng Yuan took out the Dark Ancient Book and said:
"Do any of you have the ability for spatial tracking? If not, then I’ll handle it?"
After a moment of silence, Agunas looked at Feng Yuan, swished its tail, and said:
"You do it."
Although both Agunas and Veronia, even Tamur, have the ability for spatial transfer tracking, there was no guarantee they wouldn’t get noticed.
Since Feng Yuan offered to help, Agunas had no reason to refuse, and being cautious in this situation was probably wise.
Clutching the Dark Ancient Book tightly, Feng Yuan used his Divine Sense to keep track of the group moving below. Ignoring their peculiar tools, they seemed no different from an ordinary convoy.
No, compared to ordinary convoys, they were even more lackadaisical; the people in the convoy, especially the guards, chatted and laughed without seriously observing their surroundings.
Although there was nothing around worth observing, since the convoy moved through the snow tunnel carved by the Lantern, such a lackadaisical attitude gave Feng Yuan an unprofessional feeling.
Feng Yuan even "saw" someone lying on a flatbed wagon with their legs crossed, looking perfectly content.
Maybe they’re trying to numb themselves?
The thought made Feng Yuan laugh; how could these people anticipate he would use his Divine Sense to observe? Unless they were numbing themselves, it seemed this convoy was naturally like this.
With numerous thoughts running through his mind, Feng Yuan kept monitoring them with Divine Sense until someone took out a metal disk and placed it on the ground. Feng Yuan squinted as he gripped the Dark Ancient Book slightly harder.
As expected, a Space Gate opened, and Feng Yuan immediately used the Dark Ancient Book to acquire the opposite space coordinates.
After a while, the convoy passed entirely, and the last person picked up the metal disk and hurried through the rapidly vanishing Space Gate, disappearing from Feng Yuan’s senses.
"Let’s go; I’ve got the space coordinates."
Looking at the collapsing snow below, Feng Yuan spoke. With space coordinates, he could utilize them for spatial transfer.
Veronia glanced at Feng Yuan and smile, saying:
"Are you planning to act personally?"
"If the place ahead is a city, your Space Ultimate Techniques might cause quite a commotion, so naturally, I’ll handle it."
Rolling his eyes, Feng Yuan replied in a disgruntled tone. If it weren’t for this, he wouldn’t bother to go through the hassle.
Flipping open the Dark Ancient Book, a dark light enveloped the group. Feng Yuan instructed Agunas and the others not to resist, for it wasn’t a forced spatial transfer; any resistance would interrupt the transfer.
The dark light vanished, and the surroundings whistled with eerie winds. Upon seeing the desolate land, Veronia froze—did Feng Yuan bring them to the Yin World?
Upon sensing the familiar aura from these unexpected intruders, Shi and Xilnaes appeared but soon turned away.
Whatever that guy was up to, they couldn’t be bothered to investigate.
"Get ready to hide quickly."
Reminding Agunas and the others, Feng Yuan flipped open the Dark Ancient Book again. A dark light flashed, and this time, they appeared before a group of snow-covered mountains.
Thick snow covered the mountains, making them blend seamlessly with the surrounding snowy plains. On the snow-packed mountain, the faint outline of a massive city could be seen.
"These people sure know how to pick a spot."
Veronia looked around at the icy mountains with astonishment; the mountain range evoked a sense of familiarity, yet compared to the mountains in memory, the snow-covered range lacked many features.
Wait!
The more Veronia looked, the more familiar it felt, and she looked at Feng Yuan in shock and said:
"This isn’t the Sacred Mountain of Kashantuosi, is it?!"
"The Holy Summit—it’s similar, but not completely identical."
Tamur shook slightly and said, while Veronia glared at Tamur, annoyed:
"Of course it isn’t! The Holy Summit was breached before the Great Destruction. Given the devastation from it, this definitely looks like where Kashantuosi’s Sacred Mountain was located!"
"Hmm, a Sacred Mountain that escaped the Great Destruction? That’s a possibility, right? If that’s the case, it makes sense for them to establish roots in this snowy plain."
Rubbing his chin, Feng Yuan dared not make hasty conclusions. Swishing its tail, Agunas said:
"Unexpected that they survived and even brought the Sacred Mountain along..."
"Who knows? Maybe this is a Sacred Mountain they’ve restored themselves. Let’s go; that group is about to move on."
With a shrug, Feng Yuan didn’t care much about speculation at this moment. To uncover the truth, the only option was to personally verify it.
