After Shi Mu left the martial arts arena, he walked toward his residence, with a thoughtful look on his face as he walked.
Before setting off, he still had some things to deal with.
"Shitou, look ahead!" At this moment, Cai'er suddenly whispered.
Shi Mu was startled, looked up and looked forward, his face changed slightly, and he immediately turned around and walked into a shop next to the street.
After a while, several men in gray robes dressed inconspicuously walked past in a hurry on the street. The leader was a young woman with a hood on her head, and the half of her face exposed was quite beautiful.
After a few people walked away, Shi Mu walked out of the shop and looked at the backs of the people with twinkling eyes.
Even though it was just a glimpse, he could see it clearly with his eyesight.
That young woman was the woman surnamed Zhen who had followed Liu An back then. He also had a vague impression of the other people. They were all disciples of the Ming Yue East Sect who came here on the No. 1 Vast Sea Giant Boat.
"First it was that Pang Yu, and now these people have appeared. How come they all came to the small town of Rikang City?" Shi Mu murmured to himself.
"Shitou, do you think there's something wrong with them?" Cai'er said.
Shi Mu nodded slowly.
"Then follow and take a look and you will find out. I will lead the way and you will follow." Cai'er seemed a little excited and spread her wings to fly.
"Be careful, those people should have seen you before!" Shi Mu said quickly.
"Don't worry, I'm hanging far behind and they won't be able to find me!" Cai'er said confidently and flew into the air.
Shi Mu watched Cai'er fly up into the air, and with a thought in his mind, he turned on vision sharing and followed up.
Cai'er's eyesight has improved a lot over the past year, and she was hanging far behind those people across a few streets.
Half an hour later, a group of women named Zhen arrived at a remote courtyard in the outer city and walked directly in.
In a room at the top of a dilapidated tower two streets away, Shi Mu and Cai'er stood here, looking toward the courtyard through the window.
"These guys are sneaky and they really have some agenda." Cai'er said, her eyes full of excitement.
Shi Mu was not so excited, and the years were racing in his mind, thinking about the purpose of these people from the Ming Yue East Sect.
At this moment, his expression changed slightly again.
Another man in gray robe appeared in the field of vision. This man was wrapped in gray robe and his face could not be seen at all. He walked towards the courtyard.
The man in gray robe seemed to be paying attention to the movements around him. He quickly came to the courtyard door and knocked on the door.
The door soon opened a gap, the man in gray robe walked in, and the door was immediately closed.
Shi Mu's pupils shrank. The moment the man in gray robe entered the door, he caught a glimpse of the face under the hat. It was Pang Yu.
"It's the altar leader!" Cai'er whispered.
Shi Mu nodded, his eyes shining with light.
These people came here one after another and were so sneaky that they must be planning something.
"Shitou, do you want to eavesdrop on what these people are planning?" Cai'er's eyes were shining, eager to try.
"I didn't expect you to be interested in prying into other people's privacy?" Shi Mu looked at Cai'er speechlessly.
"Hey, it's rare for me to have such a good eye. It would be a pity not to use it," Cai'er said.
Shi Mu chuckled, and was quite interested in what Ming Yue Eastern Sect was planning. He and Cai'er got off the tower and sneaked towards the courtyard.
After a while, he came to the courtyard and asked Cai'er to stay at a high place nearby. He was about to try to sneak in when he saw someone walking out of the back room of the courtyard through Cai'er's field of vision. It was Pang Yu, walking towards the door.
.
Shi Mu was slightly frightened and hurriedly hid himself.
Pang Yu walked out of the door, looked around a few times, turned around and walked away.
After a while, the door opened again, and the woman surnamed Zhen and her group also came out. However, they all changed their clothes at this moment, no longer hiding their faces, and headed in another direction.
Shi Mu's thoughts swirled in his mind, and he made an instant decision and followed the woman surnamed Zhen and others.
The woman surnamed Zhen and her group came to a busy neighborhood and seemed to be wandering around, wandering around aimlessly.
Shi Mu followed behind for two or three hours. It was already dark. The woman named Zhen and her group arrived at a large restaurant and were led upstairs by a waiter.
Shi Mu's eyes flashed and he asked Cai'er to stay outside and slowly walked into the restaurant alone.
"This distinguished guest, please come in. What would you like to eat?" Another waiter came up to us.
"Take me to the private room, it's too noisy here." Shi Mu glanced at the lobby on the first floor, said calmly, and threw a piece of silver to the guy.
"Okay, please come upstairs." The waiter was overjoyed and diligently led Shi Mu upstairs.
"A group of people just came in, led by a beautiful woman. Which room are they sitting in?" Shi Mu asked, briefly describing the dress of the woman named Zhen.
The waiter was startled and looked back at Shi Mu.
Shi Mu flicked his finger, and a fire attribute spirit stone flashed a red light and fell into the hands of the clerk.
Although this guy was an ordinary barbarian, since he worked in Rikang City, he naturally knew the value of the spirit stone. He showed a look of joy on his face and quickly put away the spirit stone.
"It's in the room numbered Kun on the third floor," the waiter said in a low voice.
"Take me to the nearest room." Shi Mu said.
The clerk nodded quickly and walked towards the third floor first, walked through a corridor, and came to a quiet and elegant room.
"Please come in, distinguished guests!" the waiter said, looking towards a private room next to him.
"Send some special wine and food." Shi Mu understood and said.
The waiter agreed and backed away.
Shi Mu walked into the private room, closed the door and listened.
After listening for a moment, he frowned. No sound came from the next room.
Shi Mu's eyes flashed with golden light, his pupils turned golden, and he looked towards the next room.
"We actually set up a barrier..." A layer of white light could be seen faintly in the next room, covering the entire room.
Shi Mu showed a wry smile, and the other party set up the barrier very carefully. He was not proficient in the formation method, and he would be noticed if he probed rashly.
Although his five senses are extraordinary, they are not yet to the extent that he can see through the barrier.
"How's the stone? Have you found anything?" Just when he was at a loss what to do, Cai'er's mental message rang in his heart.
Shi Mu briefly explained the situation here to Cai'er.
"Open the window quickly and let me in. I have a solution!" Cai'er urged.
Shi Mu was surprised when he heard this, but he still followed the instructions and opened the window of the private room, which faced a street outside.
Cai'er flew over, passed through the window, and landed on the table. Just as he was about to speak, Shi Mu raised his hand to block it and ducked to the door.
Cai'er's eyes sparkled, and she immediately flew over, standing on Shi Mu's shoulders, looking out through the crack in the door.
In the hallway in front of the door, footsteps came and stopped in front of the door next door.
Shi Mu's eyes flashed, and he could see two people in blue clothes standing in front of Kun's door next door through the crack in the door.
Both of them had their faces covered, one was taller and the other was shorter, their eyes were flashing coldly, and they looked around alertly.
Shi Mu immediately withdrew his gaze to avoid being noticed by the other party. The auras emitted by these two people had also reached the innate realm. Judging from the aura, they should be barbarians.
The tall man in green robe knocked on the door. After a moment, the door opened and the two of them walked in immediately.
Shi Mu's eyes flickered and he walked back to the table and sat down.
"Shitou, it seems these guys are really up to something," Cai'er said.
Cai'er said, the white feather on its head flashed, and two white lights suddenly appeared in its eyes, and it looked towards the room next door.
A hint of surprise flashed in Shi Mu's eyes. Together with Cai'er's vision, the wall gradually became transparent in his vision, and the situation in the next room gradually emerged in Shi Mu's eyes.
As the white light projected in Cai'er's eyes became brighter and brighter, the situation in the next room became clearer.
The woman surnamed Zhen was talking to the tall green-robed barbarian.
The two green-robed barbarians had now taken off their masks, revealing their true faces.
Shi Mu was slightly shocked. These two people had rather peculiar looks, with thin faces and sunken cheeks. Although they were not skinny and bones, they looked a bit haggard.
The nose is slightly curved, like an aquiline, and the eyes are sharp, giving people a sinister feeling.
He only glanced at it, then moved his gaze and landed on the lips of the two people who were talking.
Because of his special vision, Shi Mu studied lip reading.
"...We have someone infiltrated into the escort team and will contact you in advance." The woman surnamed Zhen said.
"...Since our Yihe Department has accepted the commission, we will naturally do what we say, so don't worry..." the tall green-robed barbarian said proudly.
"The best thing about this is that after we get it, we will split it 50-50!" said the woman surnamed Zhen.
The tall green-robed barbarian showed a hint of joy on his face and nodded.
"In that case, then everything will go according to plan." The woman surnamed Zhen stood up, turned to the people behind her and said:
"You guys just follow Wei Dutong."
"Yes!" Several people agreed in unison.
The woman surnamed Zhen waved her hand and shot out a white light. The light flashed on the wall and a layer of white barrier dissipated.
She opened the door and stepped out.
After a while, the two green-robed barbarians covered their faces again and walked out with a few of the men named Zhen.
In the next room, the white light in Cai'er's eyes disappeared, and she looked a little depressed.
Shi Mu flicked his fingers and shot out a stream of pure fire-attribute Qi, which entered Cai'er's body. Cai'er's spirit recovered a little.
"Shitou, do we want to continue to follow?" Cai'er asked.
"No need!" Shi Mu shook his head, turned over his hands and took out a thick classic, and quickly turned to one of the pages.
"Yihe tribe...ferocious...as expected..." He murmured in his mouth.
He spent a lot of spiritual stones to buy this classic book during this period. The book records the habits and living areas of various barbarian tribes in Xihe Continent.
The Winged Crane tribe is a medium-sized race among the barbarians. The beast souls they seal are all flying monsters. After the totem transforms, most of them can grow wings and fly, which is quite special among the barbarians.
However, another greater characteristic of the Yihe tribe is that they are extremely ferocious and greedy. Taking advantage of their flying advantage, they often do plunder. Their reputation is extremely bad, and all major barbarian tribes shun them.
