The scale of Yunyi City is not large, and the aboriginal people here, that is, the Winged Crane tribesmen, are not used to it from Rikang City, and they don't come out much at night, but there are more barbarians from some other tribes.

And I don't know if it's because it's too late, or if there is no Dark Moon Sect branch altar here at all, and I didn't see any Bright Moon Sect disciples walking around on the road.

As the night wore on, the shops on the street began to close and there were fewer pedestrians.

Shi Mu walked around the street and found nothing.

He frowned and paused, turning his head to look in the direction of the center of the town, where the City Lord's Mansion was located.

Shi Mu pondered for a moment, his figure slowly disappeared into the darkness, and fled in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion.

A quarter of an hour later, he came to the outskirts of the City Lord's Mansion.

The city lord's mansion was surrounded by a high wall, and from time to time a group of Winged Crane tribesmen armed with spears patrolled the city.

However, these weak soldiers, no matter how many of them are not a threat to Shi Mu.

His figure flickered, turned into a blurred black shadow, easily climbed over the city wall, and sneaked into the interior of the mansion.

The interior of the mansion is a building, and there are a lot of trees and rockeries in the middle of the building, and the scenery is quite good, and it can be seen that this city lord is a person who knows how to enjoy it.

Shi Mu's gaze quickly looked around, here he didn't dare to use his divine sense to probe at will.

There were no guards patrolling the mansion, but it was clearly not completely unguarded.

Under Shi Mu's divine sense, a faint mana fluctuation emanated from time to time around him, obviously setting up some kind of formation prohibition, if he accidentally touched it, God knows what the consequences would be.

Shi Mu's eyes flashed, and a wisp of gold appeared in his pupils, and he looked around.

With the improvement of cultivation, Shi Mu's golden pupils gradually gained some other abilities, no longer faint but only able to enlarge vision, and through the combination of divine consciousness, he became more and more sensitive to various mana.

In the golden pupil vision, everything around him changed to a different shape.

Light curtains of different colors appeared all over the mansion, almost enveloping the entire mansion.

A hint of shock flashed in Shi Mu's eyes, and then a smile appeared.

Now that you can see these forbidden lights, it is not difficult to dodge.

His body flickered, like a loach, and he shuttled through the light curtains of various formations with extreme agility, heading towards the depths.

A moment later, when he passed through an intersection, his face changed slightly, and he quickly dodged and hid in a shadow on the side of the road.

There was a sound of footsteps coming from a distance, and it was a young barbarian from the Winged Crane Tribe, holding something in his arms, walking past Shi Mu's hiding place and walking towards a path on the right.

Shi Mu slowly appeared and glanced at the man's back.

There was also silence in the mansion at the moment, most of the houses had no lights, and after coming in for so long, the barbarian young man was the first person he had just met.

Shi Mu considered whether to follow this person in his heart, and after a while, he still shook his head.

That person's cultivation is only the acquired realm, and he has not even reached the innate level, and it is estimated that he is only a subordinate of the City Lord's Mansion.

He shook his body and swept deeper.

Turning another intersection, Shi Mu's eyes lit up, and the lights were lit up in a three-story attic in front of him.

With a happy look on his face, he lurked over.

Just as he was about to try to probe the situation inside, a black shadow fell from above and landed on Shi Mu's shoulder.

Shi Mu was shocked, but soon saw that the black shadow was Cai'er, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Dare to deliberately scare me!" Shi Mu tapped Cai'er twice.

"It's wronged, I'm also afraid that the people inside will hear the movement, so I didn't make a sound. Cai'er had an aggrieved look in her eyes.

"What's going on inside?" Shi Mu heard this, and his face suddenly showed a look of concentration.

"See for yourself. Cai'er's eyes looked at the attic, and white light flashed in her pupils.

Shi Mu hurriedly activated the vision sharing, and the attic wall slowly became transparent, revealing two figures talking.

One of them was an old man in black, with a faint majesty on his body, and he seemed to be a person who held great power all year round.

The other was a tall and thin young man, dressed in a green robe.

Shi Mu's face changed, that thin and tall young man was one of the two barbarians of the Winged Crane Tribe, who had met with the woman surnamed Zhen in Rikang City before.

"Stone, it seems that the Winged Crane Barbarians are really going to do something here, what are you going to do?" Cai'er asked softly.

Shi Mu frowned, looked at the two of them, and was about to read their lips.

However, at this moment, the conversation between the two suddenly stopped, and the tall and thin young man arched his hand towards the black-robed old man, turned around and walked in the direction of the gate.

Shi Mu and Cai'er were lurking nearby, and when they saw this, they hurriedly retreated.

The tall and thin young man came out of the attic, turning and walking in one direction without stopping.

"Stone, what do we do now?" Cai'er asked.

"Let's get out of here. Shi Mu took a deep look at the attic, shook his body, and fled outside.

A quarter of an hour later, he left the City Lord's Mansion, and after identifying the direction, he sped towards the inn.

It wasn't long before he arrived at the inn.

Shi Mu's footsteps suddenly stopped, and his face showed a deep groan.

After a while, he flipped over his hand and took out a blank jade slip, and quickly recorded the conspiracy of the Winged Crane Sect and the Stygian Moon Sect in detail.

"Stone, what are you going to do?" asked Cai'er.

"Of course, tell Zhong Xiu about these things. Shi Mu quickly finished burning and said.

"But aren't you going to recognize Zhong Xiu now and prepare to protect her secretly?

"I don't plan to see her, just give her the jade slip. Shi Mu laughed, walked into the inn, and came to the compound.

Everyone in the courtyard has been replaced by the second wave at this moment, these people are dutifully guarding the floating cloud car in the courtyard, seeing Shi Mu come in, a few people nodded to it, but they didn't react.

Shi Mu also paced slowly in the courtyard, thinking about how to hand over the jade slip to Zhong Xiu.

"Brother Mu, you are the third group of guards, you can go and rest now. A green-robed young man who was in the same car with Shi Mu all the way 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 of Zhong Xiu's room creaked open, and a delicate-looking woman walked out.

Shi Mu's eyes flashed, he remembered that this woman was called Xiaowei, and she was one of Zhong Xiu's personal cronies.

Xiaowei walked out of the room and walked straight outside.

Shi Mu's heart moved, chatted with the green-robed young man for a while, said hello, walked out of the courtyard, leaned against the wall and waited.

A moment later, a sound of footsteps came from a distance, and Shi Mu raised his eyes to see that it was Xiaowei walking back.

"Miss Xiaowei, please stay. Shi Muhu's steps stood in front of Xiaowei.

"Are you...... The people in the guard, there are ...... What's the matter?" Xiao Wei showed a hint of fear on her face, as if she was quite afraid of Shi Mu.

"Miss Xiaowei doesn't need to be nervous, she has no intention of offending, but there is one thing I want to ask the girl. Shi Mu hurriedly smiled.

"What's the matter?" Xiao Wei still looked at Shi Mu with some cringe.

"This thing, please hand it over to Miss Zhong Xiu, there is very important news in it, which is related to the success or failure of this escort mission. Shi Mu took out the jade slip and put it in front of Xiao Wei.

Xiao Wei showed a stunned look on her face, and looked at Shi Mu a little blankly.

"It's a little difficult to convince you of this for a while, but you give the jade slip to Miss Zhong Xiu, and she will know it at a glance. Shi Mu said, and at the same time, he turned over his hand and took out a medium-grade spirit stone and handed it to Xiao Wei together.

"This medium-grade spirit stone should be regarded as your transfer of reward. Shi Mu said.

Xiao Wei hesitated for a moment, and looked at the medium-grade spirit stone, a little shiny.

"Okay, I'll give this jade slip to Miss Zhong, but what's your name? Xiao Wei took the jade slip and spirit stone and asked.

"You don't need to know about this, just give her the jade slip. Shi Mu waved his hand.

Xiao Wei glanced at Shi Mu hesitantly, but still nodded at him and walked forward.

Shi Mu watched Xiaowei's back disappear and walked into the courtyard, his expression slightly relieved.

That's all he can do, with Zhong Xiu's caution, he should be on guard when he sees the content in the jade slip.

His figure flickered, and he disappeared into the shadows of the inn.

In the courtyard, Xiao Wei lowered her eyebrows and walked towards Zhong Xiu's room, where no one could see, a trace of crystal appeared in her eyes, and she glanced at the jade slip in her hand.

At this moment, there was no fear in her eyes, as if she had changed into a different person.

A trace of green light emanated from her hand and seeped into the jade slip.

After a few breaths, a hint of shock appeared in Xiaowei's eyes.

The light in her eyes flashed, and suddenly a trace of coldness flashed, and she put away the jade Jane.

At this moment she had walked to the door, pushed it open and walked in.

Zhong Xiu sat cross-legged in the back room, as if he was cultivating with his eyes closed, and there was only the baby-faced maid in the living room.

"Xiaowei, why did you go for so long?" the baby-faced maid asked when she saw Xiaowei come in, greeted her.

"Sister Xin, I'm sorry, I was stopped by a guard outside just now, and I finally got rid of him and came in. Xiaowei said with an innocent smile on her face again.

"Someone dares to stop you? Who is it, what have you done? Do you want me to tell the young lady and teach him a lesson?" said the baby-faced maid, with a cold face.

"No, he just casually asked about my miss's situation, it should be that Ling Yu's subordinate, so there is no need to tell Miss about this. Xiaowei shook her head and said softly.

"Okay, then you be careful, and if anything happens, just tell your sister. The baby-faced maid thought for a moment and nodded.

Xiao Wei nodded heavily, glanced at the inner room, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. (To be continued.) )
