"Ah~"

Ma Ming was scared out of his wits.

This was the first time it had encountered such a type of treasure. It felt as if thousands of threads had entwined its body, and simultaneously, a strong suction force emerged from the Dharma Bell, continuously pulling it towards it.

This was the Dharma Bell ancient relic that Xiao Mu had obtained from the Taoist Temple Ruins. It was transformed into a treasure through the Mutation Technique.

However, after all, it was only a three-hundred-year-old relic. Its potential was limited. Its current transformation had reached its limit. It was inferior to Xiao Mu's Seal of the Heavenly Emperor and the Great Decree and could not progress further.

For this reason, the Dharma Bell could not completely capture, but could only bind Ma Ming and pull it back.

"Mr. Ma, I didn't expect to see you again so soon."

Xiao Mu, holding the Dharma Bell, smiled at Ma Ming.

Ma Ming, frightened to the point of turning white, forced himself to stay calm, "Daoist Xiao, spare me, Ma Ming, a life. We can make good karma. Otherwise, if my sworn brother learns about this, he will definitely seek revenge for me."

At the brink of life and death, it maintained clarity, discussing the pros and cons with Xiao Mu.

"I'm afraid that letting Mr. Ma go will bring me more trouble."

Xiao Mu shook his head slightly.

Let him go?

How could it be possible? Considering Ma Ming's attitude towards humans, Xiao Mu would never let him go.

The color drained from Ma Ming's face as he forced a smile, "I can swear to Heaven that as long as Daoist Xiao lets me go, I will not seek revenge afterwards."

Xiao Mu sighed, "Unfortunately, Mr. Ma, I don't believe a single word you say."

Ma Ming's face changed again. Knowing that death was inevitable, he could not help but curse loudly, "Xiao, my sworn brother will kill you. You're sure to die!"

"Unfortunately, Mr. Ma won't be able to see it."

Xiao Mu was undeterred, extending his finger.

The Taichi Thunder Gang Diagram appeared and cut towards Ma Ming.

"No…don't kill me, ah~"

Prior to his death, Ma Ming pleaded again. Unfortunately, before he could finish his words, his head was cut off by the Taichi Thunder Gang Diagram released by Xiao Mu.

"Can't leave the corpse either!"

Xiao Mu acted once more, using the Thunder Transformation Technique.

Crack!

The thunder struck, instantly turning Ma Ming's corpse into ashes. He flicked his hand, and a wild wind swept over, scattering the ashes instantly.

"After killing Ma Ming, it's time to go down the mountain and complete the task."

At the moment, Xiao Mu drove the Fire Dragon Vehicle again, heading for the airport.

This was the League's exclusive airport, not open to the public.

Airport workers came forward to greet him. Xiao Mu presented his identity badge. The worker immediately showed his utmost respect and saluted Xiao Mu, "Sir, where would you like to go?"

Xiao Mu said, "March City."

"Sir, please board the plane. We can depart immediately."

Xiao Mu boarded the plane, and the workers on the plane immediately took their positions. The plane took off and headed for March City.

Three days later, he arrived safely at March City's airport. As Xiao Mu disembarked, special personnel were already waiting to pick him up.

"Sir, I'm Lei Shun, the person in charge of March City. May I ask for your name?"

This Lei Shun was a martial artist, his strength probably in the late Bone Forger Realm, only one step away from the peak.

However, even if he stepped into the Peak Bone Forger Realm, whether he could break through to the Fourth Realm was still unknown.

Before the Third Realm, as long as the strength had reached, all could easily break through. To break through to the Fourth Realm, however, was difficult. Mere strength was not enough; there also needed to be a certain opportunity.

Those with good luck might be able to break through directly, but those with bad luck would need to rely on external forces.

Xiao Mu was fortunate to have gotten another Boundary Breaking Pill and broke through on the spot.

Xiao Mu replied, "Xiao Mu."

"So it's Senior Xiao Mu. Hello, Senior Xiao Mu."

Lei Shun greeted Xiao Mu, his attitude remained respectful.

He didn't know that Xiao Mu, like him, was a human who had just made a breakthrough a short while ago. He assumed Xiao Mu was a member of the alien species who had attained Dao. Xiao Mu did not correct him.

Xiao Mu casually said, "I'm here this time to investigate the Earth Seal Disappearance Event in March City. Mr. Lei, are you, March City's Land Master?"

Lei Shun shook his head and said, "Elder Xiao, the Earth Lord of March City is someone else, I'm just the organizer."

Xiao Mu asked curiously, "Who is the Earth Lord of March City? Why didn't they come?"

Lei Shun gave a bitter smile, "Elder, the Earth Lord of this city is named Zhang Yang. What you don't know is that since the Earth Seal disappeared, he has been in a slump, drowning his sorrows in alcohol. Now, he's probably drunk again and sleeping at home."

"Oh!"

Xiao Mu found it strange. The loss of the Earth Seal would certainly plunge the entire city into trouble, but for the Mutated Being himself, it wouldn't cause much damage, and even his own strength would not be affected at all.

It was indeed strange that he had become so depressed because of the lost Earth Seal.

Either this guy could not endure psychologically or there was some other reason.

"Can you take me to see him?"

"You want to see Zhang Yang? I'd be happy to lead the way, please follow me."

Lei Shun readily agreed, inviting Xiao Mu to take a helicopter and fly in the direction of Zhang Yang's residence.

The helicopter flew for about an hour and finally landed on the roof of a villa with a large courtyard.

After getting off the plane, Xiao Mu couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the huge courtyard.

Despite also being an Earth Lord, he lived in a rented small house in Nanke City, while Zhang Yang owned a huge villa.

It seemed that he still didn't know how to enjoy life.

However, his face changed quickly.

In the air, he smelled a strong scent of blood.

What's going on?

Did someone die?

And the death wouldn't have been long ago!

With a sudden thought, Xiao Mu's expression darkened.

Lei Shun didn't seem to notice anything and made a gesture of invitation, "Elder, please follow me."

He invited Xiao Mu to follow him down the stairs from the rooftop.

Xiao Mu become suspicious, intentionally observed Lei Shun's face, but regrettably, didn't discover anything from his facial expression.

They quickly descended the stairs to the living room. The room was somewhat messy, but the smell of blood became even stronger, emanating from the bedroom on the right.

"Old Zhang, Old Zhang, are you there?"

Lei Shun shouted at the bedroom but received no response.

"He's drunk again!"

Lei Shun turned around and gave Xiao Mu a bitter smile, "Elder, please wait a moment. I'll go wake him up."

With that, he walked towards the bedroom.

"No need."

Xiao Mu directly followed him.

"Old Zhang!"

Lei Shun called out while pushing the door.

As soon as the door was pushed open, a strong smell of blood hit their faces, and Lei Shun stood frozen on the spot, then screamed loudly, "Old Zhang, Old Zhang!"

With that, he rushed into the bedroom.

Xiao Mu walked to the doorway. On the bedroom floor, a middle-aged man lay with his throat cut and blood everywhere, so much so that some of it was starting to dry.

"Someone killed Old Zhang!"

Lei Shun's shout echoed in the room, filled with apparent agony.

Xiao Mu intentionally watched the look on Lei Shun's face and found it was not pretense.

It seemed Zhang Yang's death was unrelated to him, it was probably the work of someone else.

However, who would kill Zhang Yang precisely at this time? Did this have something to do with his investigation?

After taking a careful look at the deceased Zhang Yang, Xiao Mu suddenly stepped forward, grabbed Zhang Yang's hand, and pried off a decayed black wooden plaque.

This wooden plaque was filled with Death Qi. On it was carved a ferocious ghost face, which was evidently some evil object.

"It's this!"

Seeing this, Lei Shun's face changed on the spot.
