As soon as Xiao Mu entered the Sea of Blood, he used Creation Power to hide his presence, while also employing the Heavenly Emperor's Authority to assist with the Water Escape Technique, flying deeper into the Sea of Blood.

He was worried that Chao Xiong would pursue him, so he deliberately traveled far away.

Under the cover of Creation Power, the Blood-Colored Humanoid Monster could not detect his whereabouts.

Xiao Mu traveled farther and farther in this Sea of Blood.

Finally, he reached a place abundant in Blood Force, and Xiao Mu released the Blood Cloud Flag.

At this moment, since all the Blood Force inside the Monster Face had been detonated by Xiao Mu to bombard Chao Xiong, the Blood Ability disappeared, and the Monster Face became sluggish, showing a lack of vitality.

Even the power of the Blood Cloud Flag significantly diminished, and the released Blood Light and black light showed signs of dispersing; the blossoming flowers that appeared due to the restoration of the Blood Cloud Flag also seemed to be fading away.

"Luckily, the Blood Force here is complete; it can replenish the Blood Cloud Flag, otherwise, I would deeply regret it."

"I don't know if Chao Xiong was blown to death or not. He probably wasn't, since I haven't received any Energy Points notification."

"No matter, even if he wasn't killed, he must be half-dead by now, so Chao Xiong must be in a very bad state at this moment."

Xiao Mu no longer concerned himself with Chao Xiong's situation and released the Blood Cloud Flag. Using Creation Power to obscure his presence, he began to absorb the Blood Ability nearby.

Wuuu!

Inside the Blood Cloud Flag, the Monster Face sensed the nearby surging Blood Ability and immediately became excited, opened its large mouth, and under Xiao Mu's control, began to absorb furiously.

Xiao Mu controlled the speed at which the Monster Face absorbed, directing a portion of the absorbed Blood Ability to the Flag Surface and Flagpole, replenishing the Blood Cloud Flag's body.

Wuuu!

Under the Monster Face's absorption, a Blood Vortex suddenly formed, and the nearby Blood Ability frantically converged towards it.

At the edge of the Sea of Blood, two dark green clouds met, carrying the Huge Mountain and Feng Jia lying inside the Ancient Coffin.

The voice of the Huge Mountain sounded like thunder, revealing displeasure, "Old Feng, your strategy is utterly useless. I have distracted the Blood Spirits for you several times, but why do you always fail? Are you toying with me?"

Inside the Ancient Coffin, Feng Jia defended himself, "Huge Mountain, it's not my fault; who could have imagined the Sea of Blood held so many Blood Spirits. The ones you led away weren't all of them; after you left, more Blood Spirits appeared to attack me."

"If it weren't for that, I would have already entered the Blood Abyss and successfully obtained the Blood Jade."

"Hehehe!"

The Huge Mountain's laughter sounded like a string of thunderbolts crashing from the sky, "Anyone can brag, but if you didn't get it, you didn't get it. Don't make excuses. Feng Jia, if you keep this up, it will be hard for me to continue collaborating with you."

Feng Jia was silent for a moment after hearing this, then said, "Without cooperation, neither of us will get the Blood Jade. Do you think you can get the Blood Jade alone, Huge Mountain? Don't speak disheartening words; I still have a plan, but I need you to exert some effort and stay outside the Blood Abyss to hold off the Blood Spirits temporarily, giving me a chance to enter the Blood Abyss and retrieve the Blood Jade."

"Are you asking me to be a decoy?" Huge Mountain heard this and immediately became angry, his voice like a cannon boom.

Feng Jia defended, "You can't say it like that. If I were as big as you and had the ability to hold off the Blood Spirits, being a decoy would be acceptable."

"In cooperation, someone must handle different tasks; we can't do everything the same way. Besides, entering the Blood Abyss isn't necessarily easier than you holding off the Blood Spirits."

Huge Mountain sneered, "In the end, you're still asking me to be a decoy. However, you're right; my strength is indeed greater than yours, making me more suitable to hold off the Blood Spirits."

"However, compensation and reward should be proportional. I can agree to stay outside and hold off the Blood Spirits, but once we obtain the Blood Jade, I want seventy percent."

Feng Jia retorted unhappily, "Seventy percent? Forget it, Huge Mountain, you're too greedy. If you take seventy percent, I'll only have thirty percent; the effort and rewards won't match. Why would I risk going for the Blood Jade?"

"How about this: I'll take five and a half parts, and you take four and a half parts; you'll gain one more part than me. What do you think?"

"Sixty-forty!" Huge Mountain's expression became cold, and he firmly stated, "Otherwise, you can hold off the Blood Spirits. Do you think the Blood Spirits of the Blood Abyss are as easy to deal with as those elsewhere? Also, I'll need your Ancient Coffin to support me when necessary."

"This…"

Feng Jia pondered for a moment before finally agreeing, though his tone sounded quite reluctant, "Alright, but let's be clear: the Ancient Coffin is my protection. You know, just like you, my cultivation has issues controlling the True Gods' Authority. You've turned into a giant; I can only hide in the Ancient Coffin."

"The Ancient Coffin cannot be damaged and must be returned to me intact."

"Nonsense!"

Huge Mountain shouted angrily, "Unless I can't protect myself, your Ancient Coffin will be returned intact. But if I can't even protect myself, don't expect me to keep your coffin safe. After all, if I can't even protect myself, I can't divert attention to guard your Ancient Coffin."

"This…"

Feng Jia once again fell into deep thought, appearing troubled. After some time, he reluctantly came to terms and agreed, "Very well, but you must promise me that unless absolutely necessary, you shall not recklessly use my Ancient Coffin to defend yourself. Emperor Taija in the Heavenly Court bears witness."

"Alright then!"

Huge Mountain, hearing Feng Jia's words, became serious, "I promise you, unless it's a dangerous situation, I won't recklessly use your Ancient Coffin for defense. Emperor Taija in the Heavenly Court bears witness."
