Blackhorn Castle is located on the top of a mountain. There are numerous sentries from the foot of the mountain to the ridge. They not only have mercenary handles, but are also equipped with a large number of mechanized reconnaissance tools, such as sonic scanning, thermal induction scanning, and even more advanced life energy scanning devices.
Illusions generally only work on the spirit and cannot affect material existence. Mechanical bodies have no spirit. Illusionists or spiritual mages cannot use illusions to deceive machines. It is almost impossible to try to hide the truth with ordinary illusions.
The reconnaissance system of Black Point Castle is very advanced and can be seen through with extremely advanced stealth and stealth skills, so it is difficult for thieves and killers to penetrate it.
Zhang Mu used the Heaven-Shielding Demonic Art to evenly cover the body surface with energy, blending into the darkness without distinction. Even if he looked up close, he could only see a blurry outline. As a strong man in the Heavenly Spirit Realm, Zhang Mu can detect the distribution of the detection energy network. When you try to walk into it, the energy touches your body and is automatically absorbed and resolved without any feedback.
very good.
Able to hide from machine detection!
The Heaven-Shading Demonic Technique is extremely profound. Not all of the energy it produces is illusory power, but part of it is composed of dark energy. Dark energy is material energy, and its greatest characteristics are swallowing and absorption. In fact, the principle of thieves' stealth spells is the same. What cannot be done is absorbing light, thereby creating an invisibility effect. Thieves can do this through skills, and Zhang Mu can also achieve the same effect through the magic power of covering the sky.
Zhang Mu's confidence increased greatly.
Immediately he stopped hesitating and used the Heaven-Shading Demonic Art to avoid the outpost, climbed to the top of the mountain, and stood in front of the castle.
The defense of the Dark Corner is flawless. Not only are there countless guards on the outside, but the castle is also surrounded by barriers. As soon as Zhang Mu climbed to the top of the mountain, he saw a layer of dark red barrier, like a square transparent cover, completely covering the castle. The strength of the barrier energy is average, and Zhang Mutian's spiritual realm strength is fully capable of breaking it.
However, as the core of the Dark Corner, let alone breaking the barrier, the slightest sound is in danger of attracting siege.
"How to do this?"
Zhang Mu lightly touched the barrier with his finger, but was bounced away by a huge reaction force. The energy forming the barrier was pure magical energy. Zhang Mu used [Elemental Covenant] to elementalize his body to no avail. It was unable to penetrate Cross the boundary.
Just when there is nothing to do.
A shadow appeared in the barrier, slowly levitated, and turned into a human youth.
Zhang Mu's eyes lit up, "Scorpion!"
Scorpion wore a black ghost face and a huge black cloak. He didn't know what he did, but suddenly there was a fluctuation in the barrier. Zhang Mu's position cracked, and a gap appeared in the barrier film allowing one person to pass through. Zhang Mu was very surprised. He looked around to make sure there was no one there, and immediately walked in, and the barrier membrane closed automatically.
Xie said calmly: "You are too slow."
"How did you get in?"
Xie didn't answer, and a cold and hoarse voice came out: "This is not important, I found the leader of the Dark Corner."
Zhang Mu followed Xie. The castle knew someone was coming and the south gate opened automatically. After Zhang Mu walked into the city gate, there were more than a dozen corpses lying scattered in the corner of the urn city. All of them had their throats cut and their hearts dug out. They died in exactly the same condition, but there was no smell of blood. The surface of the corpse pile was covered with a layer of shadow. If it weren't for With the strength of Tianling, and even if he looked at it from a close distance, Zhang Mu wouldn't be able to spot it.
There were more than ten figures on the city wall, each holding a torch and standing meticulously on it. They were all dressed as black horn mercenaries. However, they ignored Xie and Zhang Mu who walked in and regarded them as nothing. Zhang Mu knew in his heart that these mercenaries guarding the city had been killed by Scorpion a long time ago, and those standing on them were all fakes turned into shadow clones.
Zhang Mu felt a chill running down his spine.
Scorpions are too perverted!
Control the entry and exit of the castle silently.
"More than 70 high-explosives are installed in the castle, mainly distributed in vents, sewers and some hidden locations." Xie handed a controller to Zhang Mu, "This is a detonation device that can blow up half of the castle. When escaping, Used to create chaos."
Zhang Mu put away the controller, "How do I get in? I won't turn into a shadow."
Scorpion said nothing, melted into the ground, turned into a shadow, and slipped into the castle.
Six shadow clones walked down the city and continued to lead Zhang Mu.
Xie's character was cautious, so he must be in control of the situation, so he was so bold. Zhang Mu didn't even ask, he followed Xie in with confidence, used the magic power of covering the sky, hid his figure, and kept a distance of about 50 meters from the six shadow clones.
While passing by the castle garden, they suddenly encountered a patrol in armor, and they found several people.
"Hey, gatekeepers, why don't you stand guard and come here?"
A shadow clone asked: "Didn't you notice something strange?"
"Is there anything strange?" the captain of the patrol said, "You'd better not be lazy. Two elders died today. The captain is furious and wants to shoot you. Don't say I didn't warn you."
The patrol came over, and no one held a torch. They were all black elves. Black elves have very powerful night vision, so they don't need torches. When they walked less than ten meters, a figure appeared silently behind the patrol, with a black cloak, a black ghost face, and shadows all around it, like the god of death in the dark night.
Several shadows stretched out from the ground, and suddenly strangled the necks of two patrol members. Dozens more shadows stretched out, like tentacles, covering their mouths and noses silently, and entangled their hands and feet. The two were unable to move, terrified. Staring, but unable to resist, he was dragged into the corner without making any sound.
The companions in front did not notice the changes that were just around the corner.
The shadow continues to spread.
Two more pathfinders were restrained and dragged away.
When the patrol leader came forward, the shadow spread further, and the last two men were restrained. The patrol leader felt something strange, and just when he turned around, a shadow was like a sharp sword, silently piercing his chest, chest, eyes, and penetrating the body without even a drop of blood flowing out.
The six clones turned into afterimages and rushed forward, quietly solving and disposing of the patrol team. The bodies were dragged into the woods, and the six bodies changed and transformed into members of the patrol again, and then continued walking in the garden.
We met several more teams from the Dark Corner, but no one doubted the patrol team. After some twists and turns, they finally arrived at the entrance of a palace.
"Is this here?"
Xie whispered: "The guards here are very strong and cannot be killed silently. I can pretend to be an elder and bring you in."
Scorpion didn't use clones because they were too weak and might get in trouble if they met a master. First, he turned into a blurry shadow. After his facial features and body shape were regenerated, he suddenly turned into a middle-aged black elf. Black elves are a branch of elves and belong to the middle-rank race. They are famous for their insidious nature and proficiency in dark energy.
During the previous investigation, Xie remembered the characteristics of a certain black elf elder and now disguised himself as the elder who changed his name.
Zhang Mu took off his cloak and put on a helmet, covering his face, pretending to be an ordinary warrior, and followed Xie into the palace. As he passed through the long corridor, he met many guards. The guards inside are ten times stronger than those outside. There are often mid- to late-stage Earth Spirit masters among the guards. Xie pretended to be a high-status elder and successfully deceived the guards without being too embarrassed.
The two walked through several corridors and were about to enter a closed door.
"Elder, please stop!"
The guards stopped the two of them.
Scorpion's expression, tone, and tone were all exactly the same, and he asked coldly: "Can't I go in?"
The guard looked at each other and said: "The leader has already made a rule. When meeting with the envoy, no one is allowed to approach, including the elders. Please don't embarrass us."
messenger
What messenger
Zhang Mu became vigilant, the messenger sent by the mastermind behind the scenes
Xie's face was expressionless, "You arrange a room for me, I'll wait here."
"yes!"
The guard opened a room next to him. When Xie closed the door, Zhang Mu put on his black cloak again and checked the window first. The window was locked and there was a vent, but it was very narrow and he couldn't get out at all.
Xie said next to him: "The target is talking in the secret room. I have checked the secret room and blessed it with protection magic. Ordinary detection spells are completely useless and infiltration is also very difficult."
"Not even you?"
"The chances of penetration are less than 50%."
"You are really cautious!" Zhang Mu waved his hand to Xie, "You get away first, I have a way to spy on them."
Scorpion took a step back: "I'm in the castle."
"Why?"
"I found something." Xie turned around and slowly turned into a shadow, "I'll get it."
After saying that, he disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Zhang Mu took out a few prepared precious elixirs from his backpack and took them, then put on the spirit-enhancing equipment. His spirit suddenly increased by more than 100 points, and he suddenly released his spiritual power, covering a large area.
This castle is protected by a magic circle, and the spiritual energy is easily disturbed. The range that Zhang Mu can sense is no more than 1 mile away. Because I am not skilled, I cannot lock the target from the perspective of the mind. Generally, I need to lock it with the naked eye first, and then use my mind control to attack accurately.
"Although there are many mental fluctuations, there are two that are obviously different." Zhang Mu felt two extremely strong mental fluctuations, "A strong person at the Tianling level? How is it possible? Is there more than one strong Tianling person in the Dark Corner? ?”
Zhang Mu was a little surprised.
Zhonghai City has a population of 20 million, and there are only dozens of powerful Tianlings, 90% of whom are high-level official figures.
Except for the leader of the Black Horn, it is impossible for a powerful person from the Heavenly Spirit to exist.
Zhang Mu became very cautious and carefully blended into the two consciousnesses. One is in the early stage of Tianling, and the other is in the middle stage of Tianling. The realm of Tianling is extremely sensitive to energy. If Zhang Mu is not a strong Tianling, the other party will detect it the moment the spiritual power is enveloped. Even though he has the strength of Tianling, he still has to be careful.
The two seemed to have just had an argument.
A hint of negative emotion can be felt in the soul.
One of them scolded: "You'd better pay attention to me, otherwise once the flaw is exposed, all the years of hard work will be in vain!"
"Two capable subordinates are dead, should we just forget about it?"
"I said, the overall situation is the top priority in everything!"
"Do you know whose commission it is? I can't refuse his request!"
“…”
Zhang Mu read the conversation between the two, and then penetrated into the shallow memory respectively, and finally got an astonishing result.
The Tianling realm expert who spoke first was actually not from Zhonghai City. He was a snake clan expert who lived in the mountains more than two thousand miles away from Zhonghai City... and was an indigenous strongman from Xihai Province.

Is Darkhorn really a spy for the Green Alliance
What an amazing news!
The other one was the leader of the Dark Corner. When he named his client, Zhang Mu quickly read his mind and found out the name of the mastermind from his shallow consciousness. This was the main task of adventurous infiltration.
