Night falls.
Xiao Chen put away the paper and pen and breathed a sigh of relief.
He got up and left the room, went next door, and called Wang Pingbei to come downstairs to eat.
After dinner, the two left the inn.
"Brother Chen, that is the territory of Shanhai Tower in Sifang City."
Ten minutes later, Wang Pingbei pointed to a building in front and said.
"Is this large area 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, Sifang City's position is very important."
"In other words, this place is very important to Shanhai Tower?"
Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows.
"Um."
Wang Pingbei said this, somewhat worriedly.
"Brother Chen, there must be a lot of strong people here, especially after Chen Haitao and the others died, Shanhai Tower sent strong people to investigate..."
"Wait for me outside, I'll go in."
Xiao Chen thought about it and said to Wang Pingbei.
"It wouldn't be that easy for them to find out if it was just me."
"Brother Chen, what exactly are you going to do?"
Wang Pingbei was still worried. He didn't want to go in, but if Xiao Chen died, he would also have to die.
"Just go in and wander around...Hide well, no matter what happens inside, don't show up."
Xiao Chen gave Wang Pingbei some instructions and headed straight for the large building without waiting for him to say anything.
Wang Pingbei opened his mouth but didn't dare to shout out.
He looked around, hid in the dark, and waited quietly.
When approaching the large buildings, Xiao Chen slowed down, activated the "Chaos Technique", and released his spiritual consciousness.
All perceptions become clear.
After he made 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 breathed a sigh of relief.
He had sensed it just now and didn't notice anything unusual, otherwise if he rashly entered, it would definitely cause a reaction from Shanhai Tower.
He looked left and right, unsure which way to go.
"Just take a stroll first."
Xiao Chen thought about it, took out a black scarf from the bone ring, and covered his face with it.
He plans to attend an auction tomorrow and cannot expose this face.
Therefore, wearing a black scarf as a mask is the safest option.
"It's a dark and windy night, with a black scarf covering my face... I'm feeling something."
Xiao Chen muttered and disappeared into the corner.
A few minutes later, he appeared on a rockery and looked around, and saw lights in the distance.
"Everyone should be over there. The experts sent by Shanhai Tower may also be over there... Let's try to stay away from them first."
Just as Xiao Chen was about to leave, three patrolmen came over.
They were holding lanterns in their hands and were not serious, just chatting casually.
In their opinion, even if the thieves were very brave, they would not dare to come here.
There has been no problem for many years.
Over time, they inevitably became less serious in their patrols, became lazy, and just went through the motions.
"After you finish patrolling, do you want to go out and play?"
"Where are you going? Didn't the elder tell us to be careful recently and not go out..."
"This is Sifang City, our territory. What can Qingyun Tower do to us?"
"That's right. We have the final say. Even if a strong person comes to Qingyun Tower, we can't do anything."
"I haven't been out for a while. I heard that there are a lot of girls coming to Wenqinglou again."
"Then let's go play?"
When they heard the words "Wenqing Tower", the other two's eyes lit up and they were very interested.
I said before that I should be more careful, but I also forgot what I said.
"Wenqing Tower..."
Xiao Chen, hiding in the rockery, had a strange look on his face. Men, it turned out, all liked this.
He thought about it, jumped down from the rockery, and landed behind the three people.
The three of them continued walking forward, smiling from time to time, without noticing that there was another person behind them.
Swish.
Just as the three of them walked completely into the dark shadow of the rockery, Xiao Chen took action.
He shot out his hands like lightning and grabbed the necks of the two men.
Before the two men could react, he released his internal energy and, with a snap, broke their necks.
The remaining person opened his eyes wide in shock. What happened?
As soon as his peripheral vision touched Xiao Chen who appeared out of nowhere, a hand grabbed his neck.
"If you don't want to die, shut up."
A cold voice rang in his ears.
The man glanced at the two bodies on the ground, dared not say a word, and nodded in panic.
"Let's go behind the rockery."
Xiao Chen lowered his voice and continued.
The man didn't dare to refuse and followed Xiao Chen to the back of the rockery.
When they arrived behind the rockery, Xiao Chen released 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 wearing a black scarf, and asked tremblingly.
"Stop talking nonsense. How many patrols are there here?"
Xiao Chen interrupted him and asked coldly.
"If you don't tell me or dare to lie to me, I will kill you."
“…”
The man shuddered, feeling the cold touch on his neck, and swallowed.
"There are fifteen groups of three in a group. We will be handing over in a quarter of an hour..."
"Fifteen groups..."
Xiao Chen's eyes flashed, the patrol force here was not strong.
But come to think of it, this is the territory of Shanhai Tower, no one dares to come here easily.
Looking at the sloppy look of these three guys, it can be seen that the so-called patrol is just a decoration.
The only trouble is that these three people will have to take over in a quarter of an hour. In other words... he doesn't have much time left.
Once they fail to hand over, it will definitely attract attention.
"We have to hurry."
Xiao Chen's thoughts flashed through his mind and he tightened the dagger in his hand.
"How many experts did Shanhai Tower send here? Who are they?"
“Neither do I… ah…”
As the man was speaking, he suddenly felt a pain and warmth on his neck, and blood began to flow.
“If you don’t know anything, it’s of no value.”
Xiao Chen said coldly.
"I...I said."
The man didn't dare to hide it anymore. 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 who they are specifically... My position is not that high, and I only saw these when I was on duty."
The man nodded.
"How many foundation-building masters are there here?"
Xiao Chen thought about it and asked again.
"No less than twenty..."
The man replied.
“I don’t know exactly how many there are.”
"More than twenty foundation-building masters..."
Xiao Chen was a little surprised. It was worthy of being on the second floor. The strength was very powerful.
"I've told you everything I know. Please, let me go."
The man begged for mercy.
"I have an 80-year-old mother and a baby..."
"Oh."
Hearing this, Xiao Chen laughed out loud.
"You have a baby down there, and you're still going to the Love Building to look for a girl?"
“…”
This guy opened his mouth, how come he even knew this?
"Where is your treasure hidden?"
Xiao Chen originally wanted to kill a few strong men, but with more than twenty foundation-building masters, he decided to give up.
Especially since Shanhai Tower has sent some strong men here, there must be someone more powerful than him.
After all, Qingyun Tower has sent a grand elder, and since they are from the second floor, they will definitely send strong people of the same level to handle the matter.
So, let’s just forget about killing.
However, since he has come here, he can't come for nothing.
"Where is the treasure hidden?"
The man was stunned for a moment, not understanding what it meant.
"Yes, that is your warehouse, the warehouse where you store your things, such as spirit stones and so on."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"What...what are you going to do?"
The man looked at Xiao Chen with his eyes wide open.
"What do I want to do? You can ask me. You just need to tell me where it is."
As Xiao Chen spoke, he gently exerted force with the hand holding the dagger.
"ah……"
The man cried out in pain.
"In the southwest, there is a three-story building guarded by strong men..."
"Southwest direction..."
Xiao Chen looked over. Wasn't that the place with bright lights?
But if you think about it again, it seems normal. Good things should be kept under your nose.
“It’s a bit troublesome.”
Xiao Chen frowned. Once he went over there, he would easily be noticed by the strong.
"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 am?"
"You...you are not from Qingyun Tower, right?"
The man stared at Xiao Chen and asked.
"Haha, if you guess my identity, you won't survive."
Xiao Chen's smile widened.
"No, no, I'm just kidding. You're not from Qingyun Tower..."
The man panicked and said quickly.
Pop.
Xiao Chen raised his hand, knocked him unconscious, and put away the dagger.
He originally wanted to kill this man, but since we are talking about "Qingyun Tower", he decided to keep him.
Maybe, this guy will be of some use next.
"In the southwest direction, there is a three-story building guarded by a strong man... It's a bit troublesome."
Xiao Chen looked towards the southwest and decided to take a risk.
Everything else is fine, the main thing is that he doesn't have much time left.
A quarter of an hour will pass quickly.
Once the three people are unable to hand over, it will definitely attract attention.
If someone comes looking for them and finds their bodies, it will be troublesome.
Xiao Chen retracted his gaze and headed northeast.
Soon, he stopped, took out the alcohol, and poured it on the wooden building.
Pop.
He took out his lighter and lit the alcohol.
call……
With alcohol as the fuel, the wooden building quickly caught fire.
"It's a dark and windy night. Since we can't kill people, let's set fire to it."
Xiao Chen raised the corner of his mouth, took out some more alcohol and poured it on it.
boom……
The flames grew bigger and thick smoke rose.
In order to avoid being put out by others quickly, Xiao Chen changed a few places and lit the fire.
"There's a fire..."
Soon, someone noticed the fire and shouted.
Swish…
One after another, figures appeared in the air, looking towards the fire.
"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 released his spiritual awareness and narrowed his eyes.
Even though there was a fire, the strong men guarding here still did not leave!
This shows that this is very important!
"I didn't mean to kill anyone, but if you guys don't leave, you can't blame me."
Xiao Chen took out his bone knife and walked in slowly.
