The pear tree absorbed the Life Force and immediately withered at a speed visible to the naked eye. The withering of the pear tree caused the entire tree to rapidly decay, and the people standing on the tree immediately fell off, some getting bruised and battered.

But these people quickly jumped up. They ignored the pain, staring at the disappearing pear tree and shouting, "This tree... what happened to the tree?"

"My pears, ah, my pears!"

Someone cried out in pain while the pear in his hand suddenly turned to ash.

"This is retribution, it's all retribution. It must be Heaven witnessing your evil and deliberately punishing you. If you had queued in order, not scrambling, picking the pears from the tree one after another, there's enough pears on the tree for everyone to have one, everyone to be full. But, alas, you were too greedy, wanting all the pears for yourselves. Heaven would not tolerate it and took away all the pears, took away the pear tree."

A scholar stood up, hands behind his back, lecturing the crowd.

Some showed shame on their faces, while others became more vicious, raising a knife and threatening the scholar, "Get far away, or I'll kill you with one slash."

"Incurable!"

The scholar walked away with his hands behind his back.

Is this the real ordinary human world?

Xiao Mu also sighed as he slowly left the scene. He continued to other places in the county town; as a result, he saw the same kind of snatching, even witnessing two people killing each other over a bun. But similarly, he also saw acts of mutual assistance.

Time holds warmth as well as cruelty, and Xiao Mu gained more insight as he walked.

He continued to wander in the city but suddenly received information.

Xiao Mu checked the Telepathic Talisman and found that it was Qin Yuan contacting him.

Xiao Mu connected the Telepathic Talisman.

Qin Yuan brought bad news. His voice sounded very grave, full of concern, "Grand Elder Xiao, according to reliable information, strong figures from the Heavenly Court have once again made a move."

"They've made a move again, do you know where this is happening?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Mu couldn't help but feel moved and hurriedly asked. The appearance of strong figures from the Heavenly Court was good news, especially for someone like him, who was actively seeking the whereabouts of the Heavenly Court strong figures, eager to establish prestige.

Qin Yuan's reply made him pleased yet slightly disappointed.

"It's said to have occurred in the northern part of our Eastern Desolation, but the exact location is unknown. The information came from the central area of Eastern Desolation."

The central area of Eastern Desolation refers to the command center of Eastern Desolation, which means that this information either came from Zhu Ke or Wang Yuan; it is information gathered from the entire Eastern Desolation based on surveillance.

"I understand, I will keep an eye out," Xiao Mu responded casually, and in passing, he also asked, "Do you know how strong the Heavenly Court figures are?"

Qin Yuan's reply once again made Xiao Mu feel disappointed, "The specific strength is unknown, but it's said to be at the True God Level."

True God Level, Xiao Mu did not fear it; he himself was at the True God Level, even a powerhouse among the True God Level. Even if the opponent was at the late True God stage, he had confidence in fighting them.

Next, he instructed Qin Yuan to diligently guard the northern part of Eastern Desolation and to contact him promptly once more information was available, while he would search for the whereabouts of the descended Heavenly True God.

Meanwhile, he couldn't help but inquire about Mo Lin's situation. Unfortunately, Mo Lin's situation was as Xiao Mu had guessed; although he had not run away and, like Qin Yuan, continued to guard the northern part of Eastern Desolation, he was scared by the forces of the Heavenly Court. Now, he spent most of his time at home, rarely taking initiative.

This disappointed Xiao Mu, yet he clearly understood the reason. Mo Lin had been terrorized by the might of the Heavenly Court, having lost the will to resist, at least until a victory against the Heavenly Court in the human world, it would be difficult for this person to regain his confidence.

Xiao Mu did not continue with the questioning, he disconnected the Telepathic Talisman, continuing to patrol the city. Meanwhile, he also went out of the city several times, searching for traces of the Heavenly Court figure outside the city. Unfortunately, in the end, his search was in vain; the Heavenly Court figure, hiding somewhere, was not found by him.

However, he did not come out empty-handed. During the search, his own cultivation of the Creation Divine Axe advanced, making his strength faintly stronger.

Moreover, in the process of searching, he encountered Heavenly Court strong figures of the Divine Spirit Level, all of whom he easily killed.

In the subsequent days, Xiao Mu roamed near this Ancient City daily, and simultaneously, using the Ancient City as a center, searched in all directions.

One day, he finally received a contact from Zhu Ke again.

"Grand Elder Xiao, how have things been lately? Have you encountered the Heavenly Court figures?"

There was hidden concern for Xiao Mu's safety in Zhu Ke's tone. He obviously not only cared about Xiao Mu's safety but was also concerned about the situation in the northern part of Eastern Desolation, fearing a sudden upheaval there.

"Everything's fine." Xiao Mu's answer reassured Zhu Ke a lot, and then he immediately followed with his own inquiry, "It's said there has been some movement from the Heavenly Court, have they come to my Northern Eastern Desolation?"

Zhu Ke said gravely, "It's just speculation; indeed, a strong figure from the Heavenly Court has descended, but where exactly they descended is still unknown. It could be on your side, on my side, or possibly on Old Wang's side."

"How are things on your side?"

Xiao Mu politely asked in return.

"All good!"

Zhu Ke chuckled softly, satisfied with Xiao Mu's attitude, indicating that Xiao Mu was not slacking off at work and was taking the situation in Eastern Desolation seriously.

"And how about Wang Yuan's side?" Xiao Mu continued to ask.
