Chapter 333 Trap or...?

Chapter 333 Trap or...?

Yun Muhan shook his head. He knew this was too suspicious to be a coincidence. He said in a low voice, "This money is of dubious origin, we can't use it carelessly. We have to be careful, it might be a trap."

Dugu Jianling snorted, "You brat, you're really boring. So what do you suggest we do?"

Yun Muhan pondered for a moment, then said, "Let's find a place to stay first, and at the same time find out where this money came from. If we can't find the owner, then we'll consider how to use it."

He retied the bag's rope, tossed it into the ring, and headed towards a small inn in town. The inn was small, but clean and tidy, and the prices were relatively reasonable.

Yun Muhan used a few gold coins to book a room, and then discussed with Dugu Jianling how to investigate the origin of this unexpected fortune.

As night fell and the lights of the Realm God Kingdom gradually illuminated, Yun Muhan felt no sleepiness whatsoever. He sat by the window, toying with a gold coin he had taken from his cloth bag, lost in thought.

Dugu Jianling seemed to sense Yun Muhan's worry and stopped urging him to rest, instead quietly staying by his side. In this strange and mysterious city, vigilance was essential, for no one knew what would happen next.

A gentle night breeze carried the unique scent of the Realm of Gods, seemingly mixed with the fragrance of various medicinal herbs and alchemical materials.

Yun Muhan gazed through the window at the distant, dimly lit area, his mind racing with thoughts about the source of this unexpected fortune.

"Dugu Jianling, who do you think threw this money?" Yun Muhan broke the silence.

Dugu Jianling pondered for a moment before replying, "There are many talented and extraordinary people in this God Realm. Perhaps it was casually discarded by some important figure, or perhaps it is a trap. We certainly cannot let our guard down until we figure it out."

Yun Muhan nodded, agreeing with Dugu Jianling's opinion. He stood up and began pacing around the room, trying to clear his mind. "We can start by examining the minting process and markings on the gold coin; perhaps we can find some clues."

Dugu Jianling agreed: "That's right. The mark on the gold coin may represent a family or power. We can go to the market tomorrow to inquire about it."

Yun Muhan reacted swiftly and decisively; his alertness was instantly triggered by the slightest sound. His body tensed, like a cheetah ready to pounce.

The lights in the room were quickly turned off at his gesture, the movement practiced and silent, without attracting any extra attention.

He approached the window silently, his footsteps so light they seemed to barely touch the ground, each step calculated with absolute precision to avoid making any sound that might reveal his location.

His movements revealed a well-trained calmness and professionalism, an instinct honed through long-term survival in dangerous environments.

Carefully lifting a corner of the curtain, Yun Muhan's gaze, sharp as a blade, pierced through the night as he looked outside.

On the street, several dark figures moved at an extremely fast speed. Their figures were faintly visible under the dim streetlights, and their movements revealed a well-trained agility and caution.

These shadowy figures moved through the streets, their eyes scanning the surroundings, clearly searching for a specific target.

Yun Muhan's heart pounded in his chest as he watched the shadowy figures intently. His intuition told him that these mysterious figures might be connected to the bag of gold coins.

"Dugu Jianling, we have guests," Yun Muhan said in a low voice.

Dugu Jianling's voice carried a hint of excitement: "Looks like tonight won't be boring. Get ready to welcome our guests."

Yun Muhan took out his flying sword from his ring, gently gripped the hilt, and prepared to deal with any situation that might arise. He knew that these uninvited guests might have ill intentions, but he was also confident that with his own strength and the help of the Lone Sword Spirit, he could handle any challenge.

Just then, a knock on the door broke the silence of the night. Yun Muhan took a deep breath and walked steadily toward the door, preparing to face the unknown that was about to unfold.

Yun Muhan gently placed his hand on the door latch, sensing the movement outside through the crack in the door. The knocking sounded again, this time more urgent, seemingly revealing a hint of impatience.

"Who's there?" Yun Muhan asked in a deep voice, his voice calm and powerful.

A hoarse voice came from outside the door: "Traveler, we are city guards, conducting a routine check. Please open the door."

Yun Muhan frowned; he wasn't entirely convinced by this explanation. City guards typically didn't conduct so-called "routine checks" late at night, especially in a place like the Realm God Kingdom, where everyone understood the importance of vigilance and privacy.

"Dugu Jianling, what do you think?" Yun Muhan asked silently in his heart.

"Better safe than sorry, these people might not be the real guards," Dugu Jianling replied.

Yun Muhan nodded; he decided to take action. He gently moved the latch, but did not fully open the door, instead peering through the crack to observe the situation outside.

As soon as the door opened, several figures dressed as guards immediately came into his view.

Their expressions were tense, and they held weapons in their hands, but Yun Muhan keenly noticed that the details of their clothing differed from those of real city guards.

"It seems we have uninvited guests," Yun Muhan said in a low voice, his flying sword already prepared and ready to be drawn at any moment.

Just then, the leader of the "guards" suddenly attacked, forcefully pushing open the door and trying to rush into the room.

Yun Muhan was prepared. He quickly took a step back, and at the same time, he drew his flying sword. A flash of cold light passed by, directly blocking the opponent's attack.

"Who exactly are you people?" Yun Muhan asked coldly, pointing his flying sword at them, the tip of which shimmered with a faint blue light.

The other party was clearly not prepared for Yun Muhan's swift reaction, and a hint of panic flashed in their eyes.

The leader tried to stabilize the situation, raising his hand to signal the others to stop.
