Wu Muzhen didn’t really want to introduce others to Xiao Shi. Once more people worked for Xiao Shi, his position as the number one lackey would more or less be threatened. However, he also understood that it was impossible for him to work for the Palace Master alone in the entire Heavenly Mystery Palace.

Since the Palace Master had encountered something that he could not handle,he might as well take the initiative to introduce talents to the Palace Master. Since he wanted to be the number one henchman of the Heavenly Mystery Palace, he had to be the number one henchman.

In fact, with Xiao Shi’s status as the Palace Master of Heavenly Mystery Palace, he could completely develop most of the members of the Heavenly Mystery Palace into lackeys like Wu Muzhen.

Not all of these Heavenly Mystery Palace members were loyal and reliable. It was inevitable that there would be some people with ill intentions among them. The more Heavenly Mystery Palace members he interacted with, the more likely it was to leave clues. Once these people pieced something together through these clues, it was very likely to endanger him.

“In the end, it’s my own strength that doesn’t allow it.” Xiao Shi sighed. If he had the strength to suppress these Heavenly Mystery Palace’s members, there was naturally nothing to worry about. However, any one of these Heavenly Mystery Palace’s members was an expert with astonishing strength.

This made Xiao Shi’s interactions with them extremely careful. However, this time, he was a member of the Heavenly Mystery Palace recommended by Wu Muzhen. In terms of safety, it was definitely safer and more trustworthy than Xiao Shi contacting the other members of the Heavenly Mystery Palace himself.

Soon, after Wu Muzhen’s arrangements, Xiao Shi saw this upper echelon of the Xingluo Army in Heavenly Mystery City. It was a burly bald man with scars on his face. He looked a little fierce. Having been in a high position all year round, his every move exuded the aura of a superior.

However, the moment he saw Xiao Shi, just like when Wu Muzhen first met Xiao Shi, his eyes were fanatical as he bowed respectfully to Xiao Shi and shouted, “Greetings, Palace Master!”

Xiao Shi floated in the sky above Heavenly Mystery City. His entire body emitted a dazzling light, making him look like a god. “You’re Xu Lu?” He stared at the bald man below.

“Yes!” Xu Lu nodded respectfully.

“I heard from Wu Muzhen that you can find the whereabouts of the jailers in the Xingluo Province?” Xiao Shi asked.

Xu Lu turned to look at Wu Muzhen, his eyes filled with gratitude. He knew very well that without the other party’s recommendation, he might not be able to come into contact with the Palace Master for the rest of his life. He immediately nodded respectfully. “Yes.”

“How long will it take?” Xiao Shi continued to ask.

Xu Lu thought for a moment. He knew that this was the first time he had done something for the Palace Master, so he had to do it well and not let anything go wrong. At the same time, in terms of time, it could not be too long. “Two days!” He felt that this time was the most suitable.

Xiao Shi nodded. His figure flashed. He disappeared in front of Xu Lu and Wu Muzhen. After Xiao Shi left, Xu Lu immediately thanked Wu Muzhen gratefully. “Brother Wu, I’ll remember your kindness this time! But the lord has always valued jailers very much. If the Palace Master wants to lull these jailers by asking for their whereabouts, I’m worried that… this will be disadvantageous to the Palace Master.”

Xu Lu knew very well. Although the Palace Master was unfathomable, the strongest in the Xingluo Territory was the lord of the Xingluo Territory after all.

When Wu Muzhen heard this, he said to him with a serious expression. “Old Xu, if you want to work for the Palace Master in the future, you have to understand that don’t think too much about what the Palace Master has instructed you to do. Don’t do too much, and don’t speculate, understand?”

Xu Lu was shocked. Only then did he realize that he had violated a taboo. He bowed deeply to Wu Muzhen with cupped fists. “I’ll have to rely on Brother Wu to guide me in the future.”

Wu Muzhen nodded in satisfaction. From Xu Lu’s performance, it was obvious that he was not as good at this. It was not a big threat. His status as the number one henchman was still as stable as an old dog.

“Sure, sure.”

Two days later, Xiao Shi had obtained the whereabouts of many jailers from Xu Lu. Apart from staying in the prison, these jailers usually went out to capture people from the demonic factions. However, this kind of operation to head to the demonic path’s territory would be carried out by many people and would not be alone.

Most of the time, the warden would personally lead the team. It was almost impossible to hunt them with this. The jailers in the city could not be killed either. Fortunately, there would be a batch of Xingluo Army’s soldiers who would be transferred to Prison City to serve as jailers.

Xiao Shi felt that this was a good opportunity. He began to check the information about the Xingluo Army that was about to be transferred to Prison City. He would look for suitable candidates.

According to the information provided by Xu Lu, not only did he have the whereabouts of these people, but he also had their strength, cultivation, personality, and some life stories.

Soon, Xiao Shi found a good candidate among the Xingluo Army.

“It’s him!” His gaze locked onto a man named Wang Xiao in the Xingluo Army.

The night was as dark as ink. A full moon hung in the sky, scattering white light and stars. In the valley, a figure was shuttling through the canyon at an extremely fast speed. It was a cold-looking young man in armor. His long and narrow eyes were as cold as knives and carried a bone-piercing coldness. His body emitted a strong murderous aura and blood.

It was obvious that he was a very murderous person..
