"We must save the yin spirits. Otherwise, if we ignore them and let the zombies continue extracting yin qi from them, it might potentially lead to the revival of an unknown, powerful entity. Alternatively, if the zombies become desperate and swallow the yin spirits, it would also result in the enhancement of the zombie's strength."
"Both outcomes are undesirable. Therefore, rescuing the yin spirits is crucial, and should be prioritized."
"Here's my plan - I, Ghost Servant, Zhao Yan, Ancestor Xu, Lei Jiang, and Wang Tong will all attack the altar together, fighting the third rank evil zombies to seize the energy fruit and martial arts secret scripts."
As he spoke, Xiao Mu turned his gaze towards Ah Qing and Gang Shou.
"Gang Shou and Ah Qing, you take Qin Wenruo with you. While we're engaging most of the zombies at the altar, seize that opportunity to rush into the dilapidated house and rescue the yin spirits."
"Make sure to primarily protect Qin Wenruo and rescue her father, Qin Huaiyi."
"Ah Qing, Gang Shou, any concerns?"
Neither Ah Qing nor Gang Shou were very powerful, both were only in the late stages of the second realm. Their strength was about the same as an Iron corpse, slightly stronger, but not by much.
Entrusting such a task to two individuals in the late stages of the second realm was somewhat risky.
Given the circumstances, Xiao Mu couldn't afford to spare anyone to assist them. The third-rank evil zombies were already incredibly strong, and they wouldn't stand a chance against two of them unless they deployed all their strongest fighters."
Gang Shou hastily replied: "Rest assured, Mr. Mu, we'll give it our all."
Ah Qing added: "We'll do our best."
Xiao Mu slightly frowned, stating seriously: "Your task is challenging, there can't be any lapses. If we fail at this mission, that's the least of our worries - there could even be casualties."
"To be on the safe side, I'm lending you the golden ink pot. If you encounter an Iron corpse, you can work together and use the golden ink pot to kill it."
Having said that, Xiao Mu took out the golden ink pot and handed it to Gang Shou.
This golden ink pot had undergone its third variant transformation not long ago, using four energy points to further enhance its power. It now possesses substantial attack power in addition to its ability to seal things.
As long as the two pulled the ink dipper line taut and lashed it out straight, they could easily kill an Iron corpse.
With this golden ink pot, unless they encounter an evil zombie, Ah Qing and Gang Shou should be able to complete their task successfully.
As he handed over the golden ink pot, Xiao Mu also explained how to use it.
"Thank you, Mr. Mu!" exclaimed Gang Shou, accepting the golden ink pot.
He and Ah Qing had heard about the extraordinary nature of this golden ink pot from Lei Jiang. They knew it was an amazing treasure, capable of even sealing the Ghost Gate.
However, as they accepted the golden ink pot, both Gang Shou and Ah Qing grew increasingly uneasy.
The fact that Xiao Mu was lending them his golden ink pot and urging them on its use indicated the arduous nature of this task, and potentially enormous danger.
"Mr. Mu," Gang Shou voiced his concerns, "If it's just Iron corpses, Ah Qing and I can handle them together using your golden ink pot. Even four Iron corpses shouldn't be a problem."
"However, you mentioned that there might be other evil zombies. I'm worried. What if we encounter one?"
He was anxious about failing the mission if they encountered an evil zombie, thus leaving a dangerous loophole in the team and causing trouble.
This concern wasn't unfounded. Both he and Ah Qing were only in the late stages of the second realm. Even together, they might not be a match for an evil zombie, not even if it was a first-rank evil zombie.
Against a second-rank evil zombie, there would be no question about it.
Xiao Mu nodded. Gang Shou's concern was valid, and he replied, "About that, I have made another arrangement."
"Your main task is to protect Qin Wenruo and find her father. Rescue her father, Qin Huaiyi. Anything else is irrelevant."
"Remember, it is crucial to rescue Qin Huaiyi. Any other yin spirits can die, but Qin Huaiyi is key. We cannot afford to lose him."
"Yes, Mr. Mu."
Upon hearing Xiao Mu's words, Ah Qing and Gang Shou's faces turned solemn.
"Thank you, big brother!" Qin Wenruo expressed her gratitude upon hearing this.
Xiao Mu's prioritization of her father's rescue filled the little girl with gratitude, and her trust in him increased significantly.
"Little sister, when we go to save your father, you need to come with us," he told Qin Wenruo.
This little girl is key.
Despite her young age, because she had consumed several pages of Martial Arts Secret Scripts and devoured the Stone Sword Embryo, her strength was not to be underestimated. Though the power of the Stone Sword Embryo had yet to fully manifest, her power was still considerable due to the scripts she consumed.
No ordinary zombie could be her match, and she could even stand up to an Iron Corpse.
"I will, big brother, in case Gang Shou brother and Ah Qing sister encounter powerful enemies, I can help too."
Qin Wenruo nodded incessantly, her fists clenched.
Xiao Mu smiled gently, patting her little head.
The Yin Spirit felt cold, like a chilly wind was blowing.
"Little sister, come with me," he said, heading for the truck.
Zhao Yan knew that Xiao Mu must have planned something, so she quickly followed with the little girl.
Xiao Mu took out the Official Seal he had found in the grave and asked the little girl, "Little sister, do you recognize this?"
"This is my father's Official Seal, big brother, where did you find it?" Qin Wenruo recognized the Seal immediately and asked in surprise.
Xiao Mu's face lit up with joy at her words.
His biggest fear was that the seal was ownerless, but now that it belonged to Qin Wenruo's father, things would be much easier. The God Sealing Technique of the Heavenly Emperor allowed him to easily confer this seal, quickly creating a formidable force.
"Decree!"
With the Official Seal in hand, he swiftly pointed his Peach Wood Sword at it.
This was the emperor's decree, and only when using the God Sealing Technique of the Heavenly Emperor would Xiao Mu use this word. Otherwise, he would say 'haste'.
As the decree was sounded, a golden glow spread around Xiao Mu, enveloping him in an aura of divine majesty.
"Decree!"
Responding as though summoned, the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor flew out from his waist bag, hovering above Xiao Mu's head.
As soon as the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor appeared, it released the Emperor's Might, prompting involuntary feelings of obeisance and worship. Furthermore, a golden glow spread around, filling the area with a strange fragrance.
"Decree!"
Xiao Mu pointed his Peach Wood Sword at the Official Seal in his hand once again.
This was the God Sealing Technique, and he planned to confer this seal, giving this ordinary Official Seal special capabilities like Ancestor Xu's Military Token.
The word 'decree' was emitted, and the Official Seal started to tremble.
"Buzz, buzz, buzz!"
Accompanied by the humming vibration, an illusion of the seal flew out from the Token, prostrating itself before Xiao Mu as though in worship.
"I am the emperor, and I confer upon the world! This Official Seal, I wish to confer thee, accept the decree!"
His words were domineering as ever.
The Heavenly Emperor's bestowment did not require the recipient's consent. Whether to confer or demote, refusal was not an option and conditions could not be negotiated.
"I accept the decree!" the Official Seal illusion responded humbly and fearfully.
