The man in black smiled and said, "The Soul-Locking Bug is magical, but it's not very secretive. Maybe the other party knows its weakness."
"Luckily I brought the treasure-hunting cicada this time." The man in black chuckled, "It doesn't matter if he's human or not, we'll just look for ebony."
Si Kou Yu immediately pointed at the man in black and laughed: "You still understand me!"
"I don't care about Chen Mu's life or death. I just want ebony. I will kill anyone who takes my ebony!" Si Kou Yu said viciously.
He had always suspected that Wu Mu was taken by Zuo Sheng.
Otherwise, why would they be so anxious to silence Sun Fu?
"Anyone who stands in your way of finding the ebony will be killed without mercy! If anything goes wrong, I'll take the responsibility!"
"Yes!"
……
In the corner compartment on the first floor.
Chen Mu was speechless as he held a piece of pig ear between his chopsticks.
A ghost paper figure appeared beside him.
"I finally let down my guard and planned to face the world with a positive attitude." Chen Mu said dejectedly.
But reality dealt him a heavy blow.
"Listening to their conversation, they are very skilled in killing people and stealing treasures. It is obvious that this is not their first time." Chen Mu was shocked. He didn't know how many innocent people were killed by the other party to steal treasures.
brush!
A gray hidden blade appeared in his hand.
"Just for a piece of wood, we have to kill without mercy?!" Chen Mu was filled with grief and indignation.
Chen Mu stood up suddenly.
“That’s so unreasonable!”
"I have to go talk to them!"

Chapter 83 Infiltration
The third floor of Chunfeng Building.
The middle-aged man in black smiled and took out a palm-sized wooden box from his sleeve.
After opening it, there was a thumb-sized, silvery-white cicada lying inside.
"Fortunately, there is an ebony leaf in the family treasure house. When the treasure-hunting cicada is cultivated, it is always accompanied by the ebony leaf."
"With it, any ebony scent within a radius of thirty miles can be sensed by it."
The smile on Si Kou Yu's face grew wider and wider.
"It's a pity that the treasure-hunting cicada has a short lifespan. This one only has seven days left to live. I'm afraid it will delay your important plans." The middle-aged man in black worried.
"It doesn't matter." Si Kouyu narrowed his eyes: "The ebony is most likely on that scholar. The Jinghong Gang didn't find the person, but they found out where he was."
"You check it out at night."
After thinking for a while, Si Kou Yu warned carefully: "If you find anything, don't make it public yet. I will bring more people to round up the suspects tomorrow morning."
"Everyone from Qingshan County is a little weird." Si Kou Yu exclaimed.
Courage is so difficult to cultivate.
Zuo Sheng has mastered it.
The Taoist's sincerity is almost reaching the level of armor.
The scholar was just like a fox. The Jinghong Gang spread out their nets to search for more than ten days, but they still couldn't find him!
"Yes!" The middle-aged man in black nodded respectfully.
"I activated the treasure-hunting cicada, and the tribe may have received the news. By then..." the man in black said worriedly.
Si Kou Yu smiled confidently upon hearing this: "Don't be afraid. With my sister backing me up, most people won't dare to cause trouble to me."
After thinking for a while, he said, "Then Chen Mu must be captured alive, tortured severely, and then poisoned with secret medicine to make him stupid."
"When the pressure from the tribe is too great, I will send the people out and let the brothers and sisters torture them themselves."
"Sending a fool here, isn't it a bit..." The man in black hesitated.
"I did it on purpose!" Si Kou Yu laughed, "I have handed over the key people. If anyone dares to cause trouble for me, the elders will not allow it."
"Young Master is wise!" the middle-aged man in black complimented.
……
Inside the first floor compartment.
Chen Mu didn't feel angry when he heard that the two wanted to arrest him, torture him, and even poison him.
"Never expect bad people to have any bottom line." He was sad and completely disappointed with this rotten world.
He immediately changed his facial shape and the Five Ghost Bag changed its clothes instantly.
With a pure white mask on his face, Chen Mu walked out of the cubicle leisurely.
There are many interesting and fun activities in Chunfeng Tower, and he is not the only one wearing a mask.
The lights on the first floor were dim and charming, and no one paid attention to the strange man in the mask.
Chen Mu casually picked up an empty wine jug from a wine table, pretended to be an ordinary drunken guest, and staggered upstairs.
The rooms on the second floor were equally bustling, with servants, maids, and pretty ladies constantly coming and going, and no one paid any attention to a drunkard.
Chen Mu staggered up to the third floor.
Several members of the Jinghong Gang stepped forward and blocked their way.
puff!
A handful of red mist exploded between the mouths and noses of several people.
Before the gang members who were blocking the road could react, their eyes rolled back and they fainted on the ground.
Chen Mu took two steps forward, quickly grabbed the collars of several people, pretended to get close to talk, and placed them next to the pillars and railings one by one, making them stand or sit.
A few members of the Jinghong Gang in the distance were confused.
Just when I was wondering who the white-faced masked man was, he turned out to be chatting animatedly with his colleague?
puff!
A red mist flashed and he fell unconscious.
The Five Ghost Bag released the magic smoke, and cooperated with the Red Falcon's shape training to practice agility. Chen Mu walked in openly from the entrance on the third floor.
He did the same to more than a dozen strong men standing guard along the way, knocking them unconscious one by one.
Deep inside the third floor, Chen Mu gently supported the necks of the two sturdy men at the door and let them slowly sit down on both sides of the door.
"Huh..." Chen Mu breathed a sigh of relief.
"As long as we are fast enough and make little noise, and leave before the warriors in Chunfeng Tower can react, there will be no problem!"
……
"My lord, enjoy yourself here. I will go find someone."
Si Kou Yu waved his hand: "You have worked hard these past few days. If you find the ebony, I will give you a reward!"
"Thank you, sir!" the man in black bowed and said with a smile.
"What a coincidence! The scholar has been to Fanlou in both the North and South cities before." The man in black said as he pulled out a bamboo tube from his sleeve: "It's a good place to start the investigation."
As he spoke, he used his little fingernail to pick up a little red powder from the bamboo tube and sprinkled it on the treasure-hunting cicada.
The treasure-hunting cicada, which was lying quietly just now and looked like a jade sculpture, suddenly fluttered its wings and whiskers and became active in an instant.
It was the first time that Si Kou Yu saw the treasure-hunting cicada move, so he came over to take a look.
The middle-aged man in black smiled and introduced: "Treasure-hunting cicadas have wings, but they can't fly. Their wings are their sensory organs. Every time they flap, they are capturing information."
"Once it catches the designated object, it will chirp and turn its body to indicate the direction."
"As long as the ebony is still in Nanyang Prefecture, it will definitely be possible..."
squeak...
A sharp cry suddenly sounded.
The middle-aged man in black was stunned where he stood.
Si Kou Yu was very interested: "What does this mean?"
"Ebony? Right...right at the door?!"
"Haha!" Si Kou Yu laughed loudly: "These idiots of Jinghong Gang are actually capable of this? They really found the thing for me!"
Then he opened the door.
Then I saw a man wearing a pure white mask, holding the head of the guard at the door and arranging things carefully.
Chen Mu: “…”
Sigh... I was originally thinking of sneaking in for a surprise attack, but I didn't expect that I would have to fight head-on.
He stood up slowly, and the bewitching smoke in the Five Ghosts Bag kept swirling.
"Which hall are you from?" Si Kou Yu was puzzled. He looked up at his fallen subordinates and suddenly realized, "You came to me secretly. Are you afraid that your hall master will blame you?"
"Don't worry, the entire Jinghong Gang belongs to our Sikou family." Sikou Yu waved his hand and said, "If someone really wants to exclude you, just follow me to the clan's land. The prosperity there is incomparable to this remote Nanyang."
The man in black stared at Chen Mu and quickly reminded him: "Sir, this person's identity is unknown! Danger..."
Si Kou Yu waved his hand and said, "A hero's origins are not important!"
"If you can find ebony for me, you are a great talent!" Si Kou Yu looked satisfied.
Man in black: “…” That’s not what I meant!
