At this time, the sky was completely dark, and the cold wind was howling and making waves. The people in the slums had long been holed up at home, and few of them were so poor that they were even willing to light oil lamps.
If it hadn't been for the visit from Li Mu and the other three, I'm afraid the little beggar's family would have endured hunger and gone to bed early.
There was silence and darkness, and the slums at night looked so terrifying like the mouth of a monster that could swallow people alive.
Li Mu looked at the two figures flying not far away. One of them was wearing a black robe. His figure could only be seen clearly under the moonlight, and the one following him closely was Fang, who was covered in blood.
Yan.
"It's such a fast speed. Is it really the strength of a person who is in the Dan Formation Realm? Fortunately, Fang Yan is following him, otherwise I may not be able to catch up."
The natural magic in Li Mu's body was running at full strength, and the pure Yang energy burst out instantly, rushing towards the two people chasing in the dark night. Although he knew very well that Fang Yan was definitely the top existence in the Dali Formation Realm, but if this black man
If the man in the robe really comes from that mysterious force, then there might be some unbelievable means.
Three figures, one black, one red, and one white, were flashing between the buildings in Lishui City. The man in black robe was really good at lightness skills. Li Mu and Fang Yan tried their best to catch up, but they still could only
Don't lose track.
"This won't work. Our speed can only be equal to him at best, but he is more familiar with the terrain than us. If we continue like this, we will soon escape."
Li Mu suddenly exerted his strength, increased his speed a few points, and finally came to Fang Yan's side. Looking at the black-robed man in front of him who was still using various alleys to escape, he felt anxious.
"That's right, and we have been chasing the incense for half a day. If this man in black robe really colludes with Gongsun Qi, he may be ambushed by them over time, and we will be in trouble by then."
Fang Yan was even more anxious than Li Mu. If the man in black robe really belonged to the force behind the Nangong family, it meant that Lishui City really hid a huge secret. If he pursued them rashly, there would probably be a big battle today.
"It took a lot of effort to find the flaws and clues. It would be really hard to let him escape, but we can't fight him in the city. If there is too much noise, it will definitely attract the attention of the Guards, and we will definitely be outnumbered by then."
Li Mu's foot speed did not slow down, but his heart became more and more conflicted. For so many days, he had been looking for the causes of various strange things in Lishui City, but he still found nothing.
Now that the breakthrough is right in front of him, how can he give up? Moreover, monks in the city have disappeared for no reason before, and people in the slums have been arbitrarily arrested. All this points to a terrible thing. The famous city lord Gongsun in the empire has great potential.
Maybe he's a demon who cares about human life.
For the sake of the thousands of innocent people in Lishui City, Li Mu would never be able to stand by and watch this matter.
"I have no choice but to use that thing. I didn't expect that the money I just earned will be spent."
Li Mu gritted his teeth, and his consciousness instantly connected to the simulation system. The next second, he was in front of Grandma Yodel and Brother Armor Niu.
"Whatever you want to buy, boy, I have it all in my store."
Familiar lines sounded, and after Li Mu nodded, he quickly called up the product list, and then quickly swiped the interface to find a magic weapon he had seen before.
"Found it, this is it!"
Li Mu's eyes were fixed on a gray cloak, which was the key to breaking the situation today.
"The Shadow Cloak contains mysterious space power. The active skill: Shadow Trace can hide the user's body and breath for three hours."
This is the answer given by Li Mu. Since he cannot fight the man in black robe head-on, the best way now is to follow him quietly and look for clues. However, the man in black robe is very powerful and is not a fool. Just because he and
Fang Yan's concealment skills obviously failed to deceive the other party's investigators.
But with this cloak, it's different. Within three hours, they can completely hide their aura and whereabouts. By then, as long as they follow the man in black robe, they will definitely know more truth.
"That's the price, NND. Brother Niu's appetite is getting bigger and bigger now. This cloak actually costs 100,000 gold coins. I have to use most of the 300,000 Cangyun coins I just earned at once, ugh."
Although the price was a bit painful, Li Mu was not someone who cared about everything. He quickly exchanged the Cangyun coins in his hand for gold coins from the store system and purchased two shadow cloaks.
Soon the system confirmed the transaction, and two gray cloaks that seemed to have no energy fluctuations appeared in Li Mu's hands. After greeting Grandma Yodel and Brother Armored Niu, Li Mu quickly exited the simulation system.
"Fang Yan, put on this cloak, I have a new plan, it's like this..."
After returning to the real world, Li Mu handed the Shadow Cloak to Fang Yan and briefly explained its function. Of course, the origin of the cloak was still passed on to the master who made it up.
"Okay, I didn't expect your master to give you such a magical magic weapon. This kind of space magic weapon that can be used actively can only be made by a strong person in the Tribulation Realm. Li Mu, who is your master so powerful?"
Fang Yan took over the seemingly ordinary shadow cloak and admired Li Mu's master so much that he asked casually.
"Ahem... Master, he has always been like a dragon. He said that he gave me these magic weapons and guided me to practice because he was destined to me. I don't know his true identity. Now that Master has gone to immortality again, I may not have seen him for a long time.
I’ve met his old man.”
Li Mu didn't want to say anything about his non-existent master, and signaled Fang Yan to prepare to act according to the new plan, and then he also put on the cloak.
"One, two, three, Shadow Trace activates!"
As the two of them activated the active skills of the Shadow Cloak at the same time, they who had been closely following the man in black instantly disappeared into the night. Even their auras were completely hidden, and no trace of them could be detected.
"Huh? It's strange. Did you give up so quickly? Even the breath has disappeared."
The man in black robe felt a little surprised when he felt the two momentums behind him disappear instantly. He landed on the roof of a building and looked back at the silent night sky behind him.
"It's a pity that these two people are quite strong, especially the boy who uses blood energy. Such high-quality 'feed' cannot be found everywhere. I originally wanted to lure them outside the city and directly destroy their cultivation.
I didn’t expect to give up so easily.”
The man in black robe carefully sensed his surroundings again, and after confirming that Li Mu and Fang Yan were indeed gone, he jumped towards the east and disappeared into the night in a few flashes.
What he didn't know was that two figures in gray cloaks followed closely.
