Jinchang Marketplace.
When Zhou Chun had squatted outside the cultivation area for over five days without catching a glimpse of Zhou Yu coming out, he had realized that something was amiss.

By then, the effect of the Blue Moon Butterfly powder Zhou Yu had come into contact with was nearly gone, and Zhou Chun could no longer track her location using the Blue Moon Butterfly.
However, since there was only one entrance and exit to the cultivation area and Zhou Chun had been keeping watch these past days, he could be sure that the other party was still inside.
en with a grave face, she nodded and said, “Zhengchun, your suspicion is very likely to be correct. At her age, she doesn’t have many years left, and exchanging the Black Jade Toad for Foundation Establishment Pills at this time can only be for the purpose of cultivating her descendants.”
Having said that, she then murmured softly to herself, “If that is indeed the case, the matter could be troublesome. A cultivator at the Qi Refinement Realm attacking the Foundation Establishment stage needs at least two to three months. Are we supposed to keep watch here for the next few months?”
...
“How about this, Elder Sister Thirteen, you keep watch here for a bit, and I’ll go see the Supreme Elder to discuss what to do.”
After pondering for a while, Zhou Chun left Zhou Jiahe to keep watch in his stead, and went to see Zhou Mingde to discuss countermeasures.
Once at the inn, he shared his guesses with Zhou Mingde, and then proceeded to express his own views.
“I believe that if Zhou Yu really is playing this game, then there’s no need for all three of us to stay here. It will be enough to have just me keeping watch. Supreme Elder, you could take Elder Five back first to look for a way to save the Black Jade Toad,” Zhou Chun finished speaking and saw Zhou Mingde slightly frown, deep in thought.
After contemplating for roughly a quarter of an hour, Zhou Mingde’s expression eased and he nodded slightly, “All right, since Zhengchun you are willing, I will leave the Fire Divine Jackal with you as a protector, just in case.”
Leaving Zhou Chun alone in Fengguo was something he definitely couldn’t feel at ease about.
However, with the Fire Divine Jackal as a protector, as long as he didn’t encounter a late-stage Purple Mansion cultivator, he should be able to ensure Zhou Chun’s safety.
And naturally, Zhou Chun would not refuse such a powerful trump card for self-protection.
So, after having agreed on a plan, Zhou Mingde entrusted the Fire Divine Jackal to Zhou Chun. He then left the Jinchang Marketplace with Zhou Jiahe, returning to the Zhou Family stronghold.
After Zhou Mingde and Zhou Jiahe left, Zhou Chun kept watch outside the cultivation area every day, and he also entered the cultivation area several times to investigate.
Unfortunately, there were too many cultivation rooms inside the cultivation area, and it was also prohibited to go near other people’s cultivation rooms; he was unable to locate the exact room where Zhou Yu was.
But Zhou Chun quickly thought of another method.
He bribed the cultivator in charge of managing the distribution of the various cultivation rooms in the marketplace with Spirit Coins, and from him, he learned where those long-term rented cultivation rooms were located. He then identified Zhou Yu’s cultivation room based on the descriptions of the tenants’ appearances and Cultivation Levels provided by the manager.
According to the cultivator managing the cultivation area, besides Zhou Yu, there indeed was one middle-aged man with Qi Refinement Cultivation Level in that room.
This confirmed everything.
Because today the Corpse Demon Sect could forbid the raising of “Corpse Moths,” and tomorrow they could prohibit them from doing other things.
Going on like this, wouldn’t they all become servants of the Corpse Demon Sect?
And for big sects like the Jingyang Sect, it was even harder to accept this sort of proclamation from the Corpse Demon Sect.
