Chapter 333 The Second Wave of Enemies

At this moment, a deep and powerful voice suddenly exploded into the ears of several men in black: "Stop chatting and making noise! ​​They have already left. Now is our chance to act. Hurry and enter the mansion without delay. Otherwise, if the next wave of patrols discover you, the consequences will be disastrous!"

"Got it, big brother."

Hearing this, the other four people were startled and replied.

Then the four of them didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and they all moved their bodies and followed their eldest brother, rushing towards the mansion like ghosts.

Five dark figures, like ghosts, silently crept into the Bai Mansion. Their figures were elusive, as if blending into the darkness, making it difficult to detect their whereabouts.

These dark shadows carefully avoided the patrolling guards of the Bai Mansion. Their movements were agile and light, as cautious as cats when hunting.

"Brother, the Bai Mansion is so big, how can we find the place where the treasure is hidden? Otherwise, why don't we just capture someone from the mansion and ask him."

One of the shadows lowered his voice and asked the leading shadow through the method of voice transmission.

Upon hearing this, the black shadow known as Big Brother couldn't help but curse him as an idiot in his heart.

He also responded via voice transmission: "Are you tired of living? There are so many experts in the Bai Mansion. If we reveal our whereabouts, I'm afraid not even one of them will be able to escape! Listen to me, let's go to the inner courtyard of the Bai Mansion first. Generally speaking, treasures are placed in the most important places."

Although the specific structure of the Bai Mansion was not completely clear, these black shadows still had some understanding of it.

After all, they had been fighting against the Bai Mansion for a long time and had more or less grasped some key intelligence. In this way, relying on the limited information, these people made their way to the inner courtyard of the Bai Mansion.

However, when they arrived, they discovered that entering the inner courtyard was far from as easy as they had imagined. They saw teams of well-trained palace guards, armed with weapons, patrolling back and forth outside the inner courtyard walls.

Not only that, there are bright lanterns hanging high on the courtyard wall, illuminating the surroundings and forming a sharp contrast with the darkness in the outer courtyard.

Although the surroundings are not as bright as daylight where one can see everything clearly, the light is still quite bright. If one is not careful, one's whereabouts will most likely be exposed.

These people took great pains to find the right opportunity, and took advantage of the brief gap created by the intersection of the two patrol teams to quickly rush into the inner courtyard like ghosts.

As soon as they stepped into the inner courtyard, a chill involuntarily rose in their hearts, and they felt creepy and terrified.

It turned out that every once in a while, a powerful spiritual consciousness would sweep across their bodies like a hurricane.

It feels like being stared at by a pair of invisible eyes, with nowhere to hide.

Fortunately, they had prepared precious elixirs in advance that could block spiritual detection, otherwise, their whereabouts would have been completely exposed at the first moment.

Despite this, these people still did not dare to slack off at all. They were all extremely alert and moved slowly and carefully between the pavilions and towers.

Their eyes were as sharp as those of hawks, and they carefully searched every corner and secret place in the inner courtyard of the Bai Mansion where treasures might be hidden.

In order to further improve the efficiency of the search and increase the chances of finding treasures, these people decided to act separately after some discussion.

So they split up into several groups and groped forward in different directions, hoping to make a discovery as soon as possible.

While these people quietly sneaked into the inner courtyard of Bai Mansion to search, the two teams responsible for patrolling behind Wu Ming were still performing their duties diligently. They had no idea that someone had successfully sneaked into the inner courtyard.

At this moment, Wu Ming, who was on patrol, suddenly felt that he seemed to have caught a glimpse of strange movement out of the corner of his eye.

He looked closely and saw that the flowers under the wall were shaking slightly as if blown by a breeze.

The scene at this moment made Wu Ming's heart tighten. Although he was not sure whether he was seeing things, years of experience told him that any slight abnormality could mean potential danger.

So, to be on the safe side, Wu Ming immediately released his powerful spiritual sense, which swept towards the flowers like an invisible net.

However, to his surprise, despite his extremely sharp spiritual sense, he didn't detect any trace of the thief. Could it really be just a false alarm? Wu Ming couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

However, when he raised his lantern and used the dim light to examine the area again, he was surprised to find something amiss in the shadows in the corner of the wall several feet away. The darkness there seemed even thicker than the surrounding area, exuding a mysterious and oppressive atmosphere.

"Who are you? How dare you hide here!" Wu Ming shouted angrily. His shout was like a thunderclap, instantly breaking the silence of the night.

Hearing Wu Ming's shout, several team members following behind him hurried over and asked nervously, "Captain, Captain Wu, what did you find?"

Wu Ming replied solemnly, "There are enemies hiding here. Everyone, be careful! Send a signal quickly and inform the other brothers to prepare for battle."

After saying that, he mobilized the spiritual sense in his sea of ​​consciousness without hesitation. With a wave of his right hand, the long sword at his waist turned into a dazzling lightning, and with a sharp sword energy, it pierced straight towards the suspicious shadow in the corner of the wall.

Wu Ming stood in front, followed by a group of well-trained, solemn-looking palace guards. The lanterns they held shone brightly, instantly illuminating the previously dim corner. By the light of the flames, everyone finally made out the mysterious shadows that had been lurking in the darkness of the corner.

Faced with the sudden situation, everyone had no time to think carefully. Instinctively, they gripped their weapons tightly and rushed towards the shadows without hesitation. In an instant, shouts of killing and the sound of metal clashing filled the night sky.

At this moment, Wu Ming's sword had already stabbed straight at one of the black shadows with lightning speed.

There was only a soft "puff" sound, like the sound of a sharp weapon piercing flesh, followed by a low, muffled groan from the shadows. Then, there was the dull thud of a heavy object falling to the ground.

As the guards quickly approached, they were stunned by the sight before them. Seven or eight enemies in black nightwear were hiding beneath the wall! And on the ground, another enemy lay, his fate uncertain.
