"What? You disagree?"

Xiao Mu wore a smile that didn't quite reach his eyes, his face masked with murderous intent.

He assumed that his display of strength would have scared off these aberrations. Unexpectedly, an evil ghost still stood against him.

Was his earlier performance not impressive enough?

Why did this man's smile feel so menacing that it caused goosebumps?

The purple-black blood demon cowardly took a step back, unconsciously.

Although stammering, it still defied him, "Yes, I disagree. What are you going to do about it? As strong as you may be, can you handle all of us ghosts at once?"

Backing down, is it?

From the actions of this purple-black blood demon, Xiao Mu could tell the creature had faltered.

Sigh!

He quietly sighed.

If you're scared, why act so untimely?

What a pity!

"You disagree? Alright, I'll just have to convince you then."

The purple-black blood demon jumped at his words and quickly retreated, "You… what are you planning on doing?"

"Nothing."

As Xiao Mu responded, his expression cooled and he suddenly reached for the purple-black blood demon.

Since his earlier show of force wasn't enough to intimidate these aberrations, he prepared to exert this dominance again.

Crack!

Again, the Thunder Transformation Technique.

The power of thunder emanated from his fingers and spread across his palm. His entire right hand was shrouded in golden thunder energy.

"Ah~, human, you dare!"

The complexion of the purple-black blood demon changed.

It was afraid and took a quick step back.

Dense black ghost qi erupted from the creature's head, forming a straight column indicating that it had exerted its power to the limit.

Simultaneously, two purple-black blood claws reached out, trying to bear Xiao Mu's thunderclaw.

It wasn't trying to counterattack, but only to block Xiao Mu's threat, buying itself some time to escape.

Even before they started the fight, the purple-black blood demon was already scared.

Crack!

Boom!

As the thunderclaw and bloodclaw met, thunder roared with every hit, and the purple-black bloodclaw crumbled almost immediately.

The thunderclaw continued toward the purple-black blood demon without any pause.

The thunderclaw was too fast, far exceeding the speed at which the purple-black blood demon was retreating. In an instant, the monster was caught.

The power of thunder spread in an instant, covering the entire body of the purple-black blood demon.

Crack!

"Ah~"

The purple-black blood demon cried out in pain, vanished like smoke in air, killed by Xiao Mu's single blow.

Energy +8.

"Anybody else disagrees?"

Xiao Mu coolly surveyed the scene, his eyes slowly sweeping over the bodies of the aberrations, ghosts, and zombies.

"Human, if you want the next opportunity, then take it. You're strong, we won't compete with you."

Another purple-black blood demon, at the peak stage, stepped forward and compromised.

"Ow~"

A peak stage four-grade zombie chimed in with a howl, clearly sharing the sentiment of the blood demon.

The impressive strength displayed by Xiao Mu had thoroughly intimidated them, and none wanted to fight over the opportunity.

"Since I don't hear any objections, I suppose I'll take the next opportunity."

With a slight sneer, Xiao Mu's gaze slowly swept over the bodies of the aberration.

However, inwardly, he felt a sense of regret.

Such a waste!

These zombies and evil ghosts were all sources of energy points.

Why was no one else agitating?

Why did they stop provoking him? If they continued, he could seize the opportunity to kill them and continue gaining energy points.

However, it was regrettable.

Zombies and evil ghosts also feel fear. Upon experiencing Xiao Mu's formidable techniques, why would they continue to provoke him, deliberately throwing their lives away?

They were not that foolish.

For Xiao Mu, if the zombies and evil ghosts continued to provoke him, he could take the opportunity to kill them, but he dared not actively attack them and engage in wholesale slaughter of the evil absurdities, because that would only cause the zombies and evil ghosts to join forces against him.

The number of zombies and evil ghosts on the scene was too great, at least more than a hundred. Once united, they would prove formidable not just for Xiao Mu, but even for a warrior of the Fourth Realm.

What a pity!

Xiao Mu felt regret once again.

Having left the Immaculate Spring and being unable to borrow Buddha Power, the potency of the Buddhist Order had significantly decreased. Otherwise, this would have been an excellent opportunity to accumulate Energy Points.

Sigh!

With a quiet sigh, he redirected his gaze from the zombies and evil ghosts.

It was such a great pity that he had missed out on earning thousands of Energy Points in just one day.

Tsk Tsk!

"Great man, you're awesome!"

"Great man, you're so powerful! You're literally my idol."

...

Human Mutants crowded around him again, lavishing Xiao Mu with praise.

Before this, they had never imagined that there would be a human who, with his own power, could intimidate a group of zombies and evil ghosts into submission.

Xiao Mu had done just that.

Xiao Mu, of course, knew why these people were flattering him.

Endlessly speaking praises, wasn't it just to leave a good impression in his mind?

However, he didn't repulse them; instead, he responded humbly a few times.

His humble attitude once again enhanced his popularity among the mutant humans on the scene.

Some people enthusiastically attempted to get Xiao Mu's contact details, but Xiao Mu declined.

There were too many Human Mutants at the scene, and he didn't want to invite unnecessary trouble.

After about ten minutes, three gates reappeared.

Under the deterrence of Xiao Mu's might, no one dared to argue, and so Xiao Mu's trio calmly stepped into the gateway.

Everything went dark, as if they were passing through a roller coaster tunnel, but soon, they stepped out into the light again.

The scene shifted, with Xiao Mu's trio now standing in the Guanyin Hall.

It was a massive courtyard, filled with a variety of unusual flowers and trees, leaving the onlookers dazzled.

"How is this possible!"

Xiao Mu was secretly annoyed. He had purposely examined each unusual flower and tree, but didn't discover any Exotic Fruits.

They were probably too late. Maybe Exotic Fruits were originally growing on these unusual flowers and trees, but the mutated beings who arrived earlier had picked them.

Those Exotic Fruits, which should rightfully belong to him, had been plucked by someone else. This was absolutely unforgivable.

Who was it?

He better not find out.

Otherwise, no matter how much that person swallowed, Xiao Mu would insist on making them vomit it all out.

Xiao Mu was secretly annoyed and called out to Zheng Yun and Chen Yanli, "Let's go in and check."

He wanted to know who exactly had taken the Exotic Fruits that should've been his, not leaving even a single one behind.

That was simply... intolerable!

After continuing on for a few hundred meters, a delicate pond came into view.

A refreshing aura emanated from the pond, evidently able to nourish one's soul. Upon approaching, one could immediately feel a sense of intoxication.

Special points of light flickered in the pond, carrying a peculiar soul power.

This was obviously the legendary Lotus Pond.

"Mr. Xiao, I will not go any further."

Chen Yanli stopped in her tracks, deciding not to proceed further.

Her purpose of entering the Guanyin Hall was to find this Lotus Pond to mend Xu Yan's Divine Soul. Now that she had reached the Lotus Pond, there was no need to enter the Guanyin Hall.

"Be careful then."

Xiao Mu nodded, casually reminding her.

Having successfully escorted Chen Yanli to the Lotus Pond, he considered his obligation to Lan Ying fulfilled. Whatever happened to Chen Yanli after this had nothing to do with him.

"Thank you for your reminder, Mr. Xiao. I'll be careful. Once I successfully mend Xu Yan's Divine Soul, I'll head straight back."

"Also, Mr. Xiao, please be careful yourself. Many people have already entered the Guanyin Hall, yet the courtyard is eerily quiet. I have a bad feeling about this."

Chen Yanli reminded him, expressing her concerns.
