Chapter 332: First Appearance of Clues
Translator: Novel Saga Editor: Novel Saga
The Cloud Wing City wasn't very vast in scope . And, the native people of this place were basically Crane Wing Tribesmen . However, they seemed very different from the barbarians of the Peaceful Sun City in terms of their customs and habits since there weren't many people on the street at night . The barbarian people of some other tribes also resided here in large number .
However, not a single disciple of the Dark Moon Cult could be seen on the street at this time . It was hard to say that whether it was due to approaching night or due to the fact that a sub-altar of the Dark Moon Cult wasn't established here .
The shops on the street started to close their door as the dim light of night gradually grew darker . Simultaneously, the number of passers-by began to decline .
Shi Mu was wandering on the streets, but he hadn't found any useful information so far .
But then, his brows creased, and he stopped . Then, he turned his head, and looked in the direction of the centre of the city where the office of the City Lord was located .
He pondered for a moment . Then, he moved, and slowly disappeared into the darkness . He proceeded straight toward the office of the City Lord .
He came to the periphery of the City Lord's office almost after quarter-of-an-hour .
The City Lord's office was encompassed by a high fence . And, a patrol team of Crane Wing Tribe's people were walking around the wall with long spears in their hands .
However, these small and weak soldiers couldn't pose a threat to Shi Mu in any respect .
Shi Mu's silhouette seemingly changed into a fuzzy shadow, and crossed over the high wall with great ease . Then, he sneaked into the interior part of the office compound .
A building was constructed in the interior part of the compound . The centre of the building was decorated with plenty of trees and artificially-made small hill . Everything had been beautifully landscaped . It could be said that the City Lord was the kind of a person who knew the meaning of enjoyment .
Shi Mu swept his gaze over his surroundings as soon as he stepped in . However, he didn't dare to use his spirit sense in a casual manner to probe this place .
He didn't find any bodyguards patrolling inside the official compound . But, it was obvious that such an important place couldn't have been left completely unguarded .
Shi Mu then felt that the surrounding place was emitting a kind of faint magic-power wave from time to time . He could feel this sensation in the induction scope of his spirit sense . This clearly indicated that some kind of prohibition magic formula had been laid out here . However, it couldn't be said what the consequences would be if someone touched it inadvertently .
Shi Mu's eyes flashed, and a wisp of golden gleam emerged in his pupils . He then looked all around .
His golden pupils had gradually gained a few more abilities along with the promotion of his strength . It was no longer just a faint light that could magnify his eyesight . Instead, it had become all the more sensitive to various magic powers when it was used in coordination with the spirit sense .
The surrounding area emerged in the scope of his golden pupils in an altogether different look .
A light screen of assorted-colors could be seen everywhere in the compound . It could be said that it covered almost the entire area .
Shi Mu's eyes flashed with a hint of shock . But then, a smile bloomed on his face .
He knew that it wouldn't be difficult to avoid these prohibition lights since he could see them .
His body flashed and shuttled back-and-forth through each light screen of the magic array like an agile fish . He crossed the light screens in no time, and advanced toward the depths .
A little time passed . Shi Mu was passing through a crossroad at this time when his complexion slightly changed . He then ducked out of the way, and hid in a shadow on the roadside .
Then, a sound of footsteps spread from afar . It was followed by the appearance of a young barbarian man of the Crane Wing Tribe; he held something in his arms . He walked past Shi Mu's hiding place, and moved toward a road on the right side .
Then, Shi Mu crawled out of his hiding place in a slow manner, and looked at that man from behind .
There was complete silence in the compound at the moment . Also, the lights of the majority of houses had been turned off by now . That barbarian man was the only person Shi Mu had seen here so far even though he had been here for so long .
Shi Mu considered for a moment whether he should follow this person . However, he shook his head after a moment .
That barbarian man was merely a Hou Tian-ranked warrior . Moreover, he was far from achieving the Xian Tian realm . So, it could be estimated that he was a low-ranked person in the City Lord's office .
Shi Mu flashed even deeper in the compound .
Suddenly, his eyes brightened as he turned at the next crossroads . There was a three-story garret in front of him . And, it was illuminated at the moment .
His face beamed with delight as he saw this . Then, he immediately hid in the vicinity of the garret .
He was about to examine the situation inside when a dark shadow swooped down from the sky and landed on his shoulder .
Shi Mu was left profoundly startled for a moment . But then, he saw that the shadow was none other than Cai, and felt a great relief in his heart as a result .
"How dare you scare me on purpose?!" Shi Mu struck Cai twice .
"It's not fair . Ah… I was also afraid of being heard by the people inside . So, I didn't make any noise this time . " Cai's eyes revealed an aggrieved look in response .
"What's the situation inside?" A focused looked peeped through Shi Mu's face as soon as he heard these words .
"You see it yourself," Cai looked at the garret, and a white light flashed in his pupils .
Shi Mu immediately triggered the vision-sharing link, and the garret's wall started to become transparent little by little . Two persons' silhouettes soon appeared before his eyes . They seemed to be discussing something at the moment .
One of them was a black-dressed old man . There was a faint air of dignity around his body . He was apparently someone who had commanded high authority for years on end .
The other person was a thin and tall young man; his body was covered in a green robe .
Shi Mu's facial expression changed as he noticed that this thin and tall young man was one of the two Crane Wing Tribe's barbarians whom he had seen before . He had seen this fellow in a secret meeting with the girl surnamed Zhen at the Peaceful Sun City .
"Shi Tou, it appears that the Crane Wing Tribe's barbarians are going to unleash their plan here . So, what's your next move?" Cai asked in a soft voice .
Shi Mu's brows furrowed as he focused his gaze at the two people's mouths since he wanted to lip-read .
