"My dear friend is the Human Emperor," Qing Yan said casually.

The Human Emperor!

Xiao Mu was shocked to hear this. Anyone bold enough to call themselves this, and is a friend of the old monk, implying a great power. Even Qing Yan, who could suppress curse ghosts with ease, sought his opinion in matters of importance. How powerful must this person be?

Had they evolved to this level after the World Mutation?

Xiao Mu could hardly believe this thought.

Following the World Mutation, he had been practicing diligently with more resources than anyone else, and yet he was barely reaching the mid-stage of the Third Realm.

Unbelievably, there were people among the commoners whose power surpassed the old monk's?

That indeed would send a wave of imbalance to Xiao Mu's calmness.

The monk, Qing Yan had been practicing Dao for more than three hundred years, even the one they had met in Taolin Village had lived for over a hundred years.

He could accept the fact that these unique existences were stronger than him.

But if an ordinary person outperformed him, it was unbearable for Xiao Mu.

Fortunately, Qing Yan soon put his doubts to rest.

Seeing the shocked expression on Xiao Mu's face, Qing Yan explained with a smile, "You must be shocked to hear the title of the Human Emperor, right? Haha! That friend of mine, after all, was originally the emperor of the human world."

"His experiences were very similar to mine - supposedly, he was an emperor from over a thousand years ago who attained Dao at the time of the World Mutation."

So that was it!

Xiao Mu breathed a sigh of relief, feeling more at ease.

If the spirit of some emperor from over a thousand years ago has outperformed him or even the old monk, it made sense.

If anyone was outperforming him, that would be unreasonable.

Curious, he asked,"Master, who was this emperor when he was alive?"

Qing Yan smiled at hearing this and looked at Xiao Mu with deep meaning, "Are you curious?"

Xiao Mu nodded. He was indeed curious.

But Qing Yan shook his head, "I was going to tell you but unfortunately I have no idea which emperor the Human Emperor was once. I apologize."

"Master, you are too kind. It was I who was being presumptuous."

Xiao Mu politely responded, then asked Qing Yan, "What message would you like to send, and what do you want to ask the Human Emperor? Also, do you know how to contact the Human Emperor, does he have any contact information?"

He was worried that the Human Emperor wouldn't know how to use a cellphone since, as Qing Yan had said, he was originally an emperor from a thousand years ago. It would make sense if he didn't know how to use one.

His worries turned out to be unfounded. It was normal for a spirit resurrected from a thousand years ago not to use a cellphone, but that could be learned after getting accustomed to this world.

Qing Yan nodded, "The last time we met, the Human Emperor gave me a phone number. The number is 135XXXX. Can you please send him this message for me:

Dear Brother Human Emperor:

Recently, I've noticed frequent movements from the Dongye Ghost Clan, appearing to have the intention of attacking the human world. What should we do if they come?

Signed, Qing Yan."

"Alright," Xiao Mu agreed, and sent a text as Qing Yan had instructed.

Just a short while later, he received a reply which was quite straightforward: If they dare to come, kill them!

The message exuded an extreme dominance, words that not just anyone could utter.

Just these words alone gave Xiao Mu a sense of the immense presence beyond the message.

"Master, the Human Emperor has replied."

Xiao Mu immediately informed Qing Yan.

"Oh! What did the Human Emperor say?" Qing Yan asked swiftly.

"The Human Emperor said: 'If they dare to come, kill them!'" Xiao Mu replied, offering his phone for Qing Yan to see.

"Such a worthy Brother Human Emperor! Words full of dominance. With this, my worries are put to rest."

Qing Yan laughed heartily, his face showing relief.

Obviously, even he had been filled with worry when talking about the Dongye Ghost Clan potentially attacking the human world.

The Human Emperor's few words, however, had instantly wiped all his worries away.

Seeing this, Xiao Mu couldn't help but feel in awe.

It seems the Dongye Ghost Clan was not to be underestimated; even an existence on Qing Yan's level seemed cautious around them.

Unable to contain his curiosity, he asked, "Master, I am curious about the Dongye Ghost Clan. They seem to be classified as a force of evil ghosts, do different factions exist among the evil ghosts too?"

Qing Yan nodded, "You're right. Evil ghosts and zombies, just like humans, have different forces. The Dongye Ghost Clan is one of the stronger factions among the evil ghosts, with many experts, enough to make me wary."

"Oh!" Xiao Mu became even more curious, "Master, have you ever fought with the formidable ghost objects of the Dongye Ghost Clan?"

Shaking his head, Qing Yan replied, "No, I've only encountered regular members of the Dongye Ghost Clan. Their subordinates lack great power, and I was able to kill them. Most of what I know about the Dongye Ghost Clan is from them."

"I assume you've never seen what the Dongye Ghost Clan looks like. Well, to prevent you from being caught off guard if you encounter them, I'll tell you some of the ghosts' characteristics."

"Thank you, Master!" Xiao Mu sincerely thanked him.

Knowing more information is always good.

The Dongye Ghost Clan, whose existence even Qing Yan regarded with caution, was definitely out of the ordinary. It was necessary for him to understand as much about them as possible.

"It's easy to recognize the ghosts of the Dongye Ghost Clan. Important ghosts or core ghosts carry a special symbol of the Dongye Ghost Clan. It's either on their face or forehead."

A symbol?

A thought crossed Xiao Mu's mind.

He inexplicably thought of Prince Rong and his forehead symbol, similar to the six-pointed star.

"Yes, a symbol," Qing Yan nodded,"important ghosts of the Dongye Ghost Clan all have this symbol in a conspicuous place."

He then drew a symbol on the ground with his finger.

Seeing this symbol, even the usually stoic Xiao Mu could not help but to become slightly agitated.

The symbol drawn by Qing Yan was a pattern similar to the six-pointed star, exactly the same as the one on Prince Rong's forehead.

So, Prince Rong was a leading ghost of the Dongye Ghost Clan, which even Qing Yan held in forceful deference?

But Qing Yan continued, "Other than this symbol, important ghosts of the Dongye Ghost Clan have the character 'ghost' in their names. If you see this symbol and the character 'ghost' in a name, they belong to the Dongye Ghost Clan. Eh, Xiao Mu, have you encountered the Dongye Ghost Clan before?"

Seeing Xiao Mu's reaction, Qing Yan immediately sensed something and asked in surprise.

"Indeed, I've encountered one," Xiao Mu said, his expression calm again. The Dongye Ghost Clan wasn't anything to be scared of.

He then recounted his recent encounter at the Xu Family residence, focusing particularly on Prince Rong.
