"Gold Spirit God, He Qun, Wang Wenxian, all of you check to see if you can find traces of Xiao Mu."

Chao Xiong, still stayed in place, at this moment was giving orders to Gold Spirit God, He Qun, and Wang Wenxian, instructing the three of them to use their methods to search for traces of Xiao Mu.

"Yes!"

"At your command!"

Gold Spirit God, He Qun, Wang Wenxian, upon hearing these words, immediately took out their treasures and started searching for traces of Xiao Mu.

※※※

Whoosh whoosh whoosh! Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

More than a dozen figures were teleporting to the north. These dozen people seemed to be frightened by some sort of shock, rushing hurriedly, their escape speed incredibly swift, reaching the utmost for each person.

"Faster, faster! That Xiao Mu is insane; just now, I received information that this person again went to intercept and kill Feng Ping, Feng respected envoy, just for the Bai Jing Treasury Treasure."

"We also have the Bai Jing Treasury Treasure with us, Xiao Mu's next target might well be us."

From within a group of escaping light, Gan Yun's voice came out, sounding panicked and flustered.

Others, having heard Gan Yun's words, became even more anxious, again intensifying their escape speed.

"The materials acquired are quite abundant, but I wonder if it's enough to complete the third repair of the Blood Cloud Flag. Let's give it a try."

Xiao Mu looked at the various Blood Cloud Flag repair materials spread on the ground, feeling satisfied and nodded, then proceeded to take out the Blood Cloud Flag for its third repair.

This time, he had indeed gathered quite a few materials, yet each repair of the Blood Cloud Flag required a massive increase in materials.

Though he had gathered much, it might not be enough to repair the Blood Cloud Flag.

With a swoosh!

Xiao Mu threw the Blood Cloud Flag into the air, where it immediately levitated. Next, Xiao Mu took out various materials and tossed them up one by one.

A large amount of repair materials also floated up around the Blood Cloud Flag, and Xiao Mu cast a hand pattern, resulting in beams of light shooting out from the Blood Cloud Flag.

Each beam of light linked to a piece of material, beginning absorption for the third repair of the Blood Cloud Flag.

The energy from the materials was swiftly absorbed, new formation patterns generated on the flag surface and flagpole of the Blood Cloud Flag, showing a tendency to merge into one.

"Reporting to Respected Envoy Chao, the trace of Xiao Mu disappeared again."

Gold Spirit God held the Five Elements Divine Lamp, looking anxiously at Chao Xiong.

Chao Xiong nodded with a darkened expression, extremely displeased, considering Gold Spirit God nearly useless in his eyes.

Then, Chao Xiong turned to look at He Qun and Wang Wenxian, at this point having to hope on He Qun and Wang Wenxian.

However, not long after, He Qun and Wang Wenxian also stopped searching, uneasily reporting to Chao Xiong.

The results of their search were the same as Gold Spirit God's; neither found any trace of Xiao Mu.

Where exactly did Xiao Mu go?

Furiously, Chao Xiong lifted his gaze towards the direction of the east.

※※※

"Stop! Stop! Old Gan, where exactly are we fleeing to?"

As they escaped northward, Gan Yun and Bai Rong's group slowed down; fleeing for so long, they finally began to struggle to sustain it.

Bai Rong, seeing that people in the group were about to lose control over their escape light, hurriedly shouted to Gan Yun, who was leading at the front, to stop.

Gan Yun also sensed his power was nearly depleted, so he stopped and helplessly responded, "I don't know either, but Xiao Mu could pursue us at any time; we'd be better off fleeing as far away as possible."

Bai Rong replied with annoyance, "We need to have a direction; blindly fleeing like this, where is the end?"

Gan Yun noticed Bai Rong's tone of reluctance and quickly said, "We each have treasures from the Bai Jing Treasury on us; each one is a target for Xiao Mu. If we don't flee, should Xiao Mu pursue us, how could anyone survive?"

"This..."

Bai Rong, upon hearing this, found it reasonable, thought for a moment, and suggested, "Come to think of it, it's all because of the Bai Jing Treasury Treasure. If we didn't have it, Xiao Mu might not have pursued us relentlessly. How about we toss away the Bai Jing Treasury Treasure?"

"No, absolutely don't!"

Gan Yun urgently responded, "With the Bai Jing Treasury Treasure, we still have a chance; in the worst case, if Xiao Mu pursues us, we can surrender the treasure to save our lives. Not long ago, when Xiao Mu was pursuing Feng Ping, Feng Respected Envoy's group, he indeed said this. The Bai Jing Treasury Treasure belongs to the human world; anyone from the Heavenly Court daring to pilfer it faces an executed punishment."

"If we dispose of the treasure and Xiao Mu arrives, demanding it from us, what shall we hand over to him?"

"That's true!"

Bai Rong reluctantly nodded, sighed, and said, "If I had known, I wouldn't have participated in the Bai Jing Treasury Treasure's contest; unexpectedly, the treasury treasure became a disaster. Regardless, we must devise a plan, prepare in advance, in case Xiao Mu comes, how should we respond?"

"Reporting to Respected Envoy Chen, Xiao Mu has headed to Blood Valley!"

Huang Luo, holding the All Star Chart, looked at the chart where the trace of Xiao Mu was marked, and respectfully reported to Chen Ming.

"Blood Valley, Blood Valley!"

Chen Ming repeated these words with a somber face, his gaze suddenly becoming fierce.

Seeing this scene, Huang Luo couldn't help but feel chills in his heart. Previously, when Chen Ming used others against Huang Yuan and Gu Mei, he had the same expression.

"What a pity, the materials to repair the Blood Cloud Flag are still lacking; it seems the final repair wasn't completed."

Xiao Mu stood up, holding the Blood Cloud Flag, still uncompleted.

By now, the last repair of the Blood Cloud Flag was actually halfway done, the flagpole and flag surface had already merged, only the formation patterns had not been entirely unified.

Yet, until the Blood Cloud Flag was thoroughly repaired, Xiao Mu couldn't undergo the third Variant with the Blood Cloud Flag.

"What a pity, I need to find more materials, well then, let's head out once more."

"Chao Xiong must still be searching for me; this time, I must be even more cautious and ensure he doesn't find my trace."

"Who still possesses Ancient Times materials? At that time, in whose hands did the mansion lord's treasure fall?"

"Qin Guang, Ma Fang were present then, and right, also Gan Yun, Bai Rong. Gan Yun, Bai Rong?"

Thinking of Gan Yun and Bai Rong, Xiao Mu's face brightened with a hint of excitement.

He had once pretended to be Zhang Xiu from the Heavenly Court, collaborated with Gan Yun and Bai Rong in an assault on Zhao Rui and Ma Fang, so it counted as a cooperation once.

However, Xiao Mu clearly wouldn't hold this sentimentality in his heart; his identity with the Heavenly Court people remained antagonistic.

Gan Yun and Bai Rong would be k**led if they encountered him just the same.

Where did Gan Yun and Bai Rong go?

At this point, Xiao Mu couldn't help but unleash the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor.

Buzz!

The Seal of the Heavenly Emperor flew out from within Xiao Mu, extending golden glow in all directions.

Minutes later, a golden glow flying towards the north suddenly had a reaction.

Seeing this, Xiao Mu was delighted.

During his journey with Gan Yun and Bai Rong, he intentionally left a slight trace of Emperor's Might on them.

This trace of Emperor's Might, though unable to specifically pinpoint Gan Yun and Bai Rong's whereabouts, could somewhat help him detect their movement within a certain distance.

Currently, the reaction from the north evidently indicated that Gan Yun and Bai Rong were somewhere to the north within Wu Yun Pass Domain, not too far away from him.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Xiao Mu reclaimed the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor, used Escape Art, directly heading to the valley mouth of Blood Valley.

After exiting Blood Valley, Xiao Mu immediately headed north towards the direction where the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor's golden glow reacted; he aimed to seek Gan Yun and Bai Rong.

Not long into his teleportation, Xiao Mu halted the escape light, released the Great Decree, intending to sink underground, utilizing the Earth for protection while employing the Primordial Spirit Out-of-body Technique to investigate Gan Yun and Bai Rong's trail to the north.

Unexpectedly, upon releasing the Great Decree, Xiao Mu suddenly sensed something, urgently turning and shouting in the north direction, "Who? Show yourself!"

"Ahem! Brother Zhang, long time no see, it's me, Gan Yun!"

From the north direction, a figure rushed rapidly towards Xiao Mu, within Five Elements Escape Light. This figure was clearly seen by Xiao Mu, it was Gan Yun.

Gan Yun, while speeding towards Xiao Mu, cheerfully greeted him, "Brother Zhang, hold your hand, I mean no harm."

"It's you!"

Xiao Mu, recognizing Gan Yun clearly, calmed down, perplexedly eyeing Gan Yun.

This Gan Yun, knowingly aware of his identity yet purposely treated him as Zhang Xiu, seeking him out, what was his intention?
