Chapter 102: Exploring the City Lord's Mansion at Night
The man in black robe was much slower than before, and the effect of the shadow cloak was better than Li Mu expected. He and Fang Yan followed the target less than a hundred meters away, and the other party was not aware of it.
"This product produced by Brother Niu must be of high quality. The aura is completely hidden, and even the sound of footsteps cannot be sensed. Is this the power of space? It's amazing."
The more the man in black robe in front of him relaxed his vigilance, the more Li Mu applauded the shadow cloak, and he was filled with praise in his heart, completely forgetting his miserly expression when paying.
"Huh? This direction looks a bit familiar. Could it be that he is going to the City Lord's Mansion?"
As the men in black robes continued to shuttle between the buildings, the familiar street scene made both Li Mu and Fang Yan look suspicious. This was clearly the route to the city lord's palace.
"No way. Even if Gongsun Qi really colludes with these black-robed men, he won't meet in public in the city. Moreover, we visited the City Lord's Mansion before and didn't feel anything strange."
Fang Yan also felt a little strange. According to his understanding of these black-robed men, they were generally powerful, but extremely low-key and would never openly appear in the eyes of others.
It's like a poisonous snake that always hides in the shadows, always holding back and waiting for an opportunity to strike.
"There is only one possibility. There must be some secret hidden in the City Lord's Mansion. Follow him closely and see what the man in black robe wants to do in the City Lord's Mansion."
Under the camouflage of their cloaks, Li Mu and Fang Yan accelerated to keep up with the man in black. Their bodies passed a thousand-year-old willow tree, but not even a willow branch was moved. The shadow cloak was so terrifying.
"It finally stopped. It's really the City Lord's Mansion."
I saw the man in black robe walking through a narrow alley and stopped in front of a building. It was the city lord's palace where Li Mu and the others once listened to Gongsun Qi's conscription speech.
Under the gazes of Li Mu and Li Mu, the man in black robe looked around and then jumped up directly. His ghostly figure crossed the silent night and silently entered the mansion in front of him.
"Let's go and follow. The Shadow Trail can last for more than two hours, which is enough."
Seeing that the black-robed figure had disappeared into this small mansion, Li Mu quickly called Fang Yan to come to the wall with them. The two of them tapped their feet lightly, turned over with a kite, and jumped into the mansion.
After the two landed, they discovered that this was a courtyard, located at the end of the long corridor they had walked through earlier.
The City Lord's Mansion at night looked a little different from the last time they came here. Although the mansion was cold and cold during the day, it was not uncomfortable. However, the City Lord's Mansion at this time made Li Mu and Li Mu feel a bit of a chill.
The coldness, the coldness that made the tarsus bones feel like maggots, made the two people in the Dan Formation Realm shiver.
As a last resort, Li Mu used the Natural Art with the power of pure Yang, and Fang Yan also used the Blood God Art, which relieved the inexplicable cold.
"There is no guard in the city lord's palace at night? The courtyard is dark and dark, and there is not even a servant?"
Although he was protected by a cloak of shadow, Li Mu carefully looked around the corridor and courtyard in front of him, and found that the surroundings were deathly silent. There was no one around, and there was not even the sound of insects that should be heard in summer.
"Look, where is he going? Huh? What is he doing?"
I saw the mysterious black-robed figure walking straight to a stone wall and pressing his hand on it. This strange move made Li Mu and Li Mu, who were about to follow up to see what was going on, stop and look for a place.
Looking at the black-robed figure in the corner under the moonlight, he couldn't help but hold his breath, waiting for the target's next move.
Two breaths later, with a rumbling sound, a door suddenly appeared on the stone wall in front of the man in black robe. As the stone door moved slowly, the man in black robe ducked and disappeared in front of the stone wall.
"Sure enough, there is a secret passage! Do you want to follow me?"
Seeing this scene, Fang Yan stood up immediately, but then he thought something was wrong, so he looked at Li Mu and wanted to ask for his opinion.
Li Mu was also very confused at this time. It stands to reason that since he has followed here and finally discovered the secret of Lishui City, as long as he follows this secret passage, he will most likely be able to discover the truth.
However, once they enter the stone gate, everything will be unknown. If this man in black robe is really the force that supports the Nangong family, then it is very possible that Fang Yan and himself alone will be unprepared.
Explain here.
There are still two hours left for the Shadow Cloak to last, but being able to hide and finally being able to escape are two different things. What is in the secret passage and where it leads to are uncertain.
If he is really unlucky and encounters the powerful person with boundless purple eyes mentioned by Fang Yan, Li Mu does not dare to say that the shadow cloak can completely prevent the opponent from detecting him.
"Hush, someone is here again."
Just as Li Mu was struggling in his mind, a sound broke through the air in the distance, and then he saw a white figure falling in the courtyard. The moonlight shone on the handsome face of the visitor. It was not Gongsun Qi or someone else.
"The special envoy came very early today, and he actually arrived before me."
Gongsun Qi saw the unclosed stone gate slowly closing on the stone wall in front of him. He quickly moved his feet and turned sideways into the secret passage.
In the end, Gongsun Qi's appearance made Li Mu decide not to risk following him into the secret passage. No matter how confident he was, he would never think that he and Fang Yan could defeat the black-robed man who was at least in the Dan Formation Realm and the Infant Transformation Realm.
Lord of Lishui City, they have discovered enough information tonight, and it is definitely a shocking secret.
What they have to do now is to quickly meet up with Lin Qingzhu, and then the three of them will analyze the current situation together, figure out a clue, and then make subsequent plans.
After reaching a consensus, the two of them did not leave any ink, and returned one by one. After climbing over the high wall of the mansion, they returned directly to the slums in the south of the city.
At this time, Lin Qingzhu was still in front of the little beggar's shack, waiting anxiously for the two of them. When he saw Li Mu and Fang Yan suddenly appearing in front of him, he was also shocked.
"Why have you been there for so long? I'm so anxious. And what is this cloak? It can make you completely invisible? I didn't notice it at all."
The little beggar and his parents had not rested yet. When they heard the noise outside the house, they ran out immediately. The little beggar had already put on the clothes given by Li Mu. The originally loose clothes had been cut into pieces.
Fanning should be a woman's craft.
"We need to leave here quickly. Someone was watching us outside the house just now. It is possible that they heard what we were asking the Guadan'er family about. I'm afraid there may be danger here. Let's go, let's go to Deyue Tower first."
Li Mu did not immediately explain to Lin Qingzhu what he and Fang Yan had discovered tonight. Instead, he spoke to the little beggar's parents and quickly made them understand the current situation.
The man and the woman did not hesitate, and immediately entered the house and started to pack up the things they wanted to take away. Fortunately, there was really nothing to take away in this simple shack. Soon they each carried a bag and took the little beggar away.
came out.
A group of six people quickly left the slum area without stopping and rushed towards Deyue Tower.
