Xiao Chen put away his pen and paper and let out a sigh of relief.
He got up and left the room, went to the next door, called Wang Pingbei, and went downstairs to eat.
After eating, the two left the inn.
"Brother Chen, that is Shanhailou's territory in Sifang City."
Ten minutes later, Wang Pingbei pointed to a building in front of him and said.
"This large area is all Shanhai Tower?"
Xiao Chen was surprised.
"Yes, after all, Shanhai Tower is one of the four major forces that control Sifang City, and its status here is very high."
Wang Pingbei nodded.
"Even in the entire Shanhai Tower, the status of Sifang City is very important."
"In other words, this place is very important to Shanhai Tower?"
Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows.
"Um."
Wang Pingbei said, a little worried.
"Brother Chen, there are definitely many strong people here, especially after Chen Haitao and the others died, Shanhailou sent strong people to investigate..."
"You wait for me outside, I'll go in."
Xiao Chen thought for a while and said to Wang Pingbei.
"It's not that easy for them to find out if it's just me."
"Brother Chen, what on earth are you going to do?"
Wang Pingbei was still worried that he wouldn't go in, but if Xiao Chen died, then he would die too.
"Go in and take a look around... you have hidden yourself, and no matter what happens inside, don't show up."
Xiao Chen warned him not to wait for Wang Pingbei to say anything else and went straight to the large building.
Wang Pingbei opened his mouth, but still didn't dare to shout.
He looked around, hid in the dark, and waited quietly.
When approaching a large building, Xiao Chen slowed down, activated the 'Chaos Art', and released his spiritual consciousness.
All perceptions become clear.
After he was sure it was safe, he flew into the air and entered quietly under the cover of night.
"There is indeed no formation..."
After entering, Xiao Chen let out a sigh of relief.
He had sensed it just now and didn't notice any abnormality. Otherwise, entering rashly would definitely cause a reaction from Shanhai Tower.
He looked around, not sure which way to go.
"Let's take a walk first."
Xiao Chen thought for a while, took out a black scarf from the bone ring, and covered his face.
This face of his is going to participate in the auction tomorrow and cannot be exposed.
Therefore, it is safest to wear a black scarf and cover your face.
"The night is dark and windy, and the face is covered with a black scarf... It feels a bit like it."
Xiao Chen muttered and disappeared into the corner.
A few minutes later, he appeared on a rockery. Looking around, he could see lights in the distance.
"Everyone should be over there. The strong men sent by Shanhai Tower may also be over there... It's better to stay away as far as possible first."
Just as Xiao Chen was about to get out of the way, three people patrolled over.
They held lanterns in their hands and were not very serious, but chatting casually.
In their opinion, the thieves would not dare to come here even if they have eaten the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard.
It's been years and nothing has happened.
As time goes by, their patrols will inevitably become less serious, slack off, and just go through the routine.
"After the patrol is over later, why don't you go out and play?"
"Where are you going to play? Didn't the elders tell you to be careful and not go out these days..."
"This is Sifang City, it's our territory, so what if Qingyun Tower is there?"
"That's right, this is what we have the final say. Even if a strong man comes to Qingyun Tower, he can't do anything."
"It's been a while since I went out to play. I heard that many girls have come to Wenqing Building again."
"Let's go play then?"
Hearing the words 'Wenqinglou', the other two people's eyes obviously lit up and they were very interested.
Even though I said I should pay more attention before, I put my own words behind me.
"Wenqinglou..."
Xiao Chen, who was hiding on the rockery, had a strange look on his face. As expected, men are really good at this.
He thought for a while, jumped down from the rockery, and landed behind the three of them.
The three of them were still walking forward, with rippling smiles from time to time, not realizing that there was another person behind them.
Swish.
Just when the three of them completely walked into the dark shadow of the rockery, Xiao Chen took action.
His hands reached out like lightning and clasped their necks.
Before the two of them could react, they released their inner strength and snapped their necks.
There was one person left, his eyes widened in shock, what happened?
As soon as he touched Xiao Chen who appeared out of thin air out of the corner of his eye, a hand pinched his neck.
"If you don't want to die, just shut up."
A cold voice sounded in his ears.
The man glanced at the two corpses on the ground, hesitated to say anything, and nodded in panic.
"Let's go behind the rockery."
Xiao Chen lowered his voice and spoke again.
This man did not dare to refuse and followed Xiao Chen to the back of the rockery.
When he came behind the rockery, Xiao Chen let go of his hand, took out a dagger, and put it on the man's neck.
"You...who are you? How dare you come to Shanhai Tower..."
The man looked at Xiao Chen, who was masked in black scarf, and asked tremblingly.
"Quite the nonsense, how many patrols are there here?"
Xiao Chen interrupted him and asked coldly.
"If you don't tell me or you dare to lie to me, I will kill you."
"..."
The man trembled, felt the cold touch on his neck, and swallowed.
"There are three groups, fifteen groups in total. We will hand over in a quarter of an hour..."
"Group fifteen..."
Xiao Chen's eyes flashed, and the patrol force here was not strong.
But think about it, this is the territory of Shanhai Tower, and no one would dare to come here.
Looking at the loose appearance of these three guys, one can also see that the so-called patrol is just a decoration.
The only troublesome thing is that these three people have to hand over in a quarter of an hour. In other words... there is not much time left for him.
Once they fail to hand over, attention will definitely be drawn.
"We have to hurry up."
Xiao Chen's thoughts flashed across his mind and he tightened the dagger in his hand.
"How many powerful men have Shanhailou sent here? Who are they?"
"Me neither...ah..."
As the man was talking, he suddenly felt a warm and painful pain in his neck, and blood flowed out.
"If you don't know anything, it's of no value."
Xiao Chen said coldly.
"I...I said."
This man didn't dare to hide it any more, so he endured the pain in his neck and told everything he knew.
"Six strong men? Going to Tianyuan City tomorrow?"
Xiao Chen frowned.
"Yes, I don't know exactly who they are... My status is not that high. I just saw these when I happened to be on duty."
The man nodded.
"How many foundation-building experts are there here?"
Xiao Chen thought for a while and asked again.
"No less than twenty..."
The man replied.
"I don't know how many there are specifically."
"More than twenty foundation-building experts..."
Xiao Chen was a little surprised. It was indeed the second floor. It was very powerful.
"I've told you everything I know, please, please let me go."
The man begged for mercy.
"I have an 80-year-old mother above me, and a baby who is nursing..."
"Ah."
Hearing this, Xiao Chen laughed out loud.
"You have a nursing baby, why don't you go to Wenqinglou to look for a girl to be cool?"
"..."
This man opened his mouth, how could he even know this?
"Where is the place where you hide the treasure?"
Xiao Chen originally wanted to kill a few strong men, but there were more than twenty strong foundation-building men, so he might as well forget it.
In particular, Shanhai Tower has sent strong men here again. There are definitely beings more powerful than him here.
After all, Qingyun Tower has sent a great elder, and since they are both on the second floor, they will definitely send strong men of the same level to handle the matter.
So, forget about killing people.
However, even though he has come, he cannot come in vain.
"Where is the treasure hidden?"
The man was stunned for a moment, not understanding what he meant.
"Yes, that is your warehouse, where you store things, such as spiritual stones and so on."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"You...what do you want to do?"
The man looked at Xiao Chen and his eyes widened.
"You can ask me what I want to do? You just need to tell me where it is."
Xiao Chen said, using the hand holding the dagger, he gently exerted force.
"ah……"
The man screamed in pain.
"In the southwest, there is a three-story building guarded by strong men..."
"Southwest direction..."
Xiao Chen looked over, wasn't that a brightly lit place?
But thinking about it again, I feel that it is normal and good things must be kept under the nose.
"It's a bit troublesome."
Xiao Chen frowned. Once it passes, it will be easily noticed by a strong person.
"You...who are you?"
The man couldn't help but ask again.
"Who am I?"
Xiao Chen looked at him and suddenly smiled.
"Who do you think I would be?"
"You...you are not from Qingyun Tower, are you?"
The man stared at Xiao Chen and asked.
"Haha, if you guess my identity, you won't survive."
Xiao Chen's smile grew stronger.
"No, no, I'm talking nonsense, you are not from Qingyun Tower..."
The man panicked and said quickly.
Snapped.
Xiao Chen raised his hand, knocked him unconscious, and put away the dagger.
He originally wanted to kill this person, but since he mentioned 'Qingyun Tower', let's keep it.
Maybe, this guy will play some role next.
"To the southwest, there is a three-story building guarded by strong men... There is some trouble."
Xiao Chen looked to the southwest and decided to take a risk.
Other than that, it's easy to say, mainly because he doesn't have much time.
A quarter of an hour will pass quickly.
Once the three of them are unable to hand over, attention will definitely be drawn.
When someone comes looking for them and finds their bodies, there will be trouble.
Xiao Chen withdrew his gaze and headed northeast.
Soon, he stopped, took out the alcohol, and poured it on the wooden building.
Snapped.
He took out his lighter and lit the alcohol.
call……
With alcohol as fuel, wooden buildings quickly caught fire.
"It's a dark night and the wind is high. Since you can't kill people, let's set fire to it."
Xiao Chen raised the corners of his mouth, took out some alcohol, and poured it on top.
boom……
The flames grew bigger and thick smoke billowed out.
In order not to be put out quickly by others, Xiao Chen changed a few places and lit the fire.
"There's a fire..."
Soon, someone discovered the burning flame and shouted loudly.
Uh-huh...
Figures appeared in mid-air, looking towards the place where the fire was.
"Quickly put out the fire!"
For a moment, the scene became chaotic.
Xiao Chen also took advantage of the chaos to go to the southwest and found a three-story building.
"This is it."
Xiao Chen's consciousness spread out and he narrowed his eyes.
Even if there was a fire, the strong men guarding here still did not leave!
It can be seen that this is very important!
"I didn't want to kill anyone, but if you don't leave, you can't blame me."
Xiao Chen took out his bone knife and walked in slowly.
