The scale of Yunyi City is not large. The habits of the original people here, namely the Yihe tribe, are different from those in Rikang City. Not many people come out at night, but there are more barbarians from other tribes.
And I don’t know whether it was because it was too late or there was no Mingyue Cult branch here, but no Mingyue Cultists were seen walking around on the road.
As the night gets darker, the shops on the street begin to close one after another, and the number of pedestrians gradually decreases.
Shi Mu walked around the street and found nothing.
He frowned and stopped, turning his head to look towards the center of the town, where the city lord's palace was.
Shi Mu pondered for a moment, then his figure slowly disappeared into the darkness and fled towards the city lord's palace.
A quarter of an hour later, he arrived at the outskirts of the city lord's palace.
There is a high wall surrounding the city lord's palace, and from time to time, groups of Yihe tribesmen armed with spears patrol the city.
However, no matter how many of these weak soldiers there are, they will not pose any threat to Shi Mu.
His body swayed and turned into a blurry black shadow, easily climbed over the city wall and sneaked into the mansion.
There are many buildings inside the mansion. There are many trees and rockery dotted in the middle of the buildings. The scenery is quite good. It can be seen that the city lord is a person who knows how to enjoy himself.
Shi Mu looked around quickly. He didn't dare to use his spiritual sense to explore here.
There are no guards patrolling the mansion, but the place is obviously not completely defenseless.
Under the induction of Shi Mu's spiritual consciousness, a faint mana fluctuation was emitted from everywhere around him. It was obvious that some kind of formation restriction had been set up. If it was touched accidentally, God knows what the consequences would be.
Shi Mu's eyes flashed, a ray of gold appeared in his pupils, and he looked around.
As his cultivation level improved, Shi Mu's golden pupils gradually gained some other abilities. They were no longer just able to enlarge his eyesight. By using it in combination with his divine consciousness, he became more and more sensitive to various magic powers.
In the vision of golden pupils, everything around him changed into another look.
Curtains of light of different colors appeared all over the mansion, almost covering the entire mansion.
A flash of shock flashed in Shi Mu's eyes, and then a smile appeared.
Since you can see these forbidden lights, it is not difficult to avoid them.
His body swayed, like a loach, moving through the light curtains of various formations with great flexibility, heading towards the depths.
A moment later, when he passed an intersection, his expression changed slightly, and he quickly dodged and hid in a shadow on the side of the road.
A sound of footsteps came from a distance. It was a young barbarian from the Yihe Tribe. He was holding something in his arms. He walked past Shi Mu's hiding place and walked toward a road on the right.
Shi Mu slowly appeared and glanced at the man's back.
There was silence in the mansion at the moment, and most of the houses had no lights. After coming in for so long, the barbarian young man just met was still the first person he met.
Shi Mu considered whether to follow this person, but after a moment, he still shook his head.
That person's cultivation level was only at the acquired level, not even the innate level. He was probably just a servant of the city lord's palace.
His figure swayed and flew deeper.
Turning another intersection, Shi Mu's eyes lit up. There was a light on in a three-story attic in front of him.
He had a happy face and lurked over.
Just as he was about to try to explore the situation inside, a black shadow fell from above and landed on Shi Mu's shoulder.
Shi Mu was shocked, but he quickly saw that the black figure was Cai'er, and he couldn't help but feel relieved.
"How dare you scare me on purpose!" Shi Mu hit Cai'er twice.
"It's unfair. I was also afraid of being heard by the people inside, so I didn't say anything." Cai'er had a look of grievance in her eyes.
"What's going on inside?" Upon hearing this, Shi Mu suddenly showed a focused look on his face.
"See for yourself." Cai'er looked towards the attic, a white light flashing in her pupils.
Shi Mu quickly activated vision sharing, and the attic wall slowly became transparent, revealing two figures talking.
One of them is an old man in black, with a faint sense of majesty on his body, and seems to be someone who has held great power all year round.
The other is a tall and thin young man wearing a green robe.
Shi Mu's expression changed. The tall and thin young man was one of the two Yihe tribe barbarians who met the woman named Zhen in Rikang City before.
"Stone, it seems that the Yihe Barbarians may really take action here. What are you going to do?" Cai'er asked softly.
Shi Mu frowned and looked at the two people's mouths, about to read their lips.
However, at this moment, the conversation between the two suddenly stopped. The tall and thin young man cupped his hands towards the old man in black robe, turned around and walked towards the door.
Shi Mu and Cai'er were lurking nearby. Seeing this, they hurriedly retreated.
The tall and thin young man came out of the attic, turned around and walked in one direction.
"Shitou, what should we do now?" Cai'er asked.
"Let's get out of here first." Shi Mu took a deep look at the attic, swayed, and fled outside.
A quarter of an hour later, he left the city lord's palace, found his direction, and quickly headed towards the inn.
Not long after, he arrived in front of the inn.
Shi Mu's footsteps suddenly stopped, and a look of deep thought appeared on his face.
After a moment, he turned over his hand and took out a blank jade slip, and quickly recorded the conspiracy of the Yihe Tribe and the Mingyue Sect in detail.
"Shitou, what are you going to do?" Cai'er asked.
"Of course I will tell Zhong Xiu these things." Shi Mu finished recording quickly and said.
"But don't you plan to get to know Zhong Xiu now and prepare to protect her secretly? Could it be that you have changed your mind?" Cai'er asked.
"I have no intention of going to see her, I just need to hand the jade slip to her." Shi Mu laughed and walked into the inn and arrived at the courtyard.
Everyone in the courtyard had now entered the second wave. These people were guarding the Floating Cloud Car in the courtyard responsibly. When they saw Shi Mu coming in, several people nodded to him, but none of them had any reaction.
Shi Mu was also walking slowly in the courtyard, thinking about how to hand the jade slip to Zhong Xiu.
"Brother Mu, you are the third batch of guards. You can go and take a rest now." A young man in green robe who was riding in the same car with Shi Mu said to Shi Mu.
"It's nothing, it's not very tiring. It's always good to have more guards." Shi Mu said with a smile.
At this moment, the door to Zhong Xiu's room opened with a creak, and a delicate-looking woman came out.
Shi Mu's eyes flashed, and he remembered that this woman was called Xiaowei, and she was one of Zhong Xiu's close confidants.
Xiaowei walked out of the room and walked straight outside.
With a thought in mind, Shi Mu chatted with the young man in green robe for a while, said hello, walked out of the yard, leaned against the wall and waited.
A moment later, the sound of footsteps came from afar. Shi Mu raised his eyes and saw that it was Xiaowei walking back.
"Miss Xiaowei, please stay." Shi Mu suddenly stepped forward and blocked Xiaowei's front.
"You are... from the guard, right? What... can you do?" Xiao Wei showed a hint of fear on her face, as if she was quite afraid of Shi Mu.
"Don't be nervous, Miss Xiaowei. I don't mean to offend you, but I have one thing I want to ask of you." Shi Mu smiled quickly.
"What's the matter?" Xiaowei still looked at Shi Mu with some flinch.
"Please give this thing to Miss Zhong Xiu. It contains very important information, which is related to the success or failure of this escort mission." Shi Mu took out the jade slip and placed it in front of Xiao Wei.
Xiaowei had a look of astonishment on her face and looked at Shi Mu blankly.
"I know it's a little difficult to make you believe this at the moment, but if you give the jade slip to Miss Zhong Xiu, she will know it as soon as she sees it." Shi Mu said, and at the same time he turned over his hand and took out a middle-grade spiritual stone and handed it to the little girl.
Wei.
"This middle-grade spiritual stone can be regarded as the reward for your transfer." Shi Mu said.
Xiaowei hesitated for a moment and looked at the middle-grade spiritual stone, which was a little bright.
"Okay, I'll give this jade slip to Miss Zhong, but what's your name? I can tell her to you." Xiao Wei took the jade slip and the spirit stone and asked.
"You don't need to know about this, just give her the jade slip." Shi Mu waved his hand.
Xiaowei glanced at Shi Mu hesitantly, but nodded to him and walked forward.
Shi Mu looked slightly relieved as he watched Xiao Wei's back disappear and walk into the yard.
That's all he can do. With Zhong Xiu's caution, he should take some precautions when he sees the contents in the jade slip.
His figure flickered and disappeared into the shadow of the inn.
In the courtyard, Xiaowei walked towards Zhong Xiu's room with lowered eyebrows. Where no one could see her, a glimmer of light appeared in her eyes, and she glanced at the jade slip in her hand.
At this moment, there was no fear in her eyes at all, and she seemed to be a different person.
A ray of green light emitted from her hand and penetrated into the jade slip.
After a few breaths, a trace of shock appeared in Xiaowei's eyes.
Her eyes flashed with light, and suddenly a cold light flashed through her eyes, and she put the jade slip away.
At this moment, she had already reached the door, opened it and walked in.
Zhong Xiu was sitting cross-legged in the back room, seemingly practicing with his eyes closed. There was only the baby-faced maid in the living room.
"Xiaowei, why have you been here for so long?" the baby-faced maid saw Xiaowei coming in, came up to greet her, and asked.
"Sister Xin, I'm sorry, I was stopped by a guard outside just now, and I finally got away from him and came in." Xiaowei said with an innocent smile on her face again.
"Someone dared to stop you? Who was he and what did he do? Do you want me to tell the lady and teach him a lesson?" the baby-faced maid said with a cold expression.
"No need, he just casually asked about my lady's situation. He must be one of Ling To's subordinates. There is no need to tell the lady about this." Xiaowei shook her head and said softly.
"Okay, then you should be careful. If anything happens, just tell your sister." The baby-faced maid thought for a moment and nodded.
Xiaowei nodded heavily, glanced sadly at the back room, and showed a faint smile at the corner of her mouth. (To be continued.)
