"Not at all."

Perfected Xie also found it strange, "Who would come looking for us at the key moment of the fixed mission? The mutated beings of our group are all here. Never mind, let's see who it is first."

With a flick of his sleeve, he released the restriction on the gate.

The gate suddenly opened, and along with the words "come in", a gust of wind suddenly emerged, carrying Xiao Mu through the courtyard and into the hall.

For a moment, the gazes of seven or eight mutated beings converged on Xiao Mu, all showing expressions of surprise.

No one recognized Xiao Mu.

However, no one doubted Xiao Mu's identity either. This was Alliance Headquarters, outsiders simply can't get in.

"Who might you be, friend?"

The chief, a hunched old man had a booming voice, sounding like thunder, "What brings you here?"

"Would this be Perfected Xie I presume? I am a newly advanced fourth-realm mutated being, Xiao Mu, and I have come to report to Perfected Xie."

Xiao Mu was calm as he faced Perfected Xie.

He had heard of Perfected Xie's strength and knew that he was of the Beast Race and in the late-stage of the Fourth Realm.

However, he had nothing to be afraid of.

This was the Alliance Headquarters, even if Perfected Xie was hostile towards him, he didn't have the guts to make a move here.

"Xiao Mu?"

Perfected Xie suddenly remembered something, his eyebrows furrowed, and his face instantly darkened, shouting angrily at Xiao Mu: "So it's you!"

Xiao Mu gave a faint smile, "Has Perfected Xie heard of my name?"

Perfected Xie was furious, the hair on his head suddenly stood on end as he roared, "Xiao Mu, I heard that you arrived at the Alliance Headquarters a few days ago. Why did you only come to find me today? Don't tell me you don't have me, your group leader, in your eyes?"

Xiao Mu smiled, this Perfected Xie was obviously picking a fight.

Speaking of which, he was also at fault. After arriving at the Alliance, he should have immediately reported to Perfected Xie.

However, things were urgent at the time. He had to pursue and kill Ma Ming, and had no time to report.

But this was trivial in his opinion. He was under Perfected Xie's control, but he was not Perfected Xie's subordinate, he only needed to report to Perfected Xie in some public affairs and had full freedom.

At this point, Perfected Xie's outburst seemed to him like a deliberate provocation.

After all, he is a human, which Perfected Xie must have known from the beginning.

The Beast Race has always been hostile to humans.

Casually he replied, "There was no such intention. It was just delayed due to matters."

His explanation could be considered as saving face for Perfected Xie. Xiao Mu didn't intend to fall out with him for now.

But since Perfected Xie was looking for a fight, how could he accept such an explanation? He became angry and retorted, "What matter could be more important than the fixed missions of the Alliance?"

"Perhaps."

Thinking of the horrific giant finger contained within his Dharma Bell and comparing it to the Alliance's public tasks, Xiao Mu couldn't help but feel that the existence of that terrifying giant finger could possibly even be more important than the Alliance's public tasks.

After all, this was the first time that he had seen such a terrifying existence in so long since the World Mutation.

"How dare you argue!"

Perfected Xie was furious. His brows and beard both stood on end as he rebuked, "Xiao Mu, it seems you don't regard the Alliance at all. If that's the case, why have you bothered joining the Alliance?"

The mutated being who had reached dao as a lion, Shi Weiyuan, glanced at Xiao Mu. His hostile intent was clearly visible, "This is the first time I have seen someone who prioritizes their personal task over the public tasks of the Alliance. Perfected Xie, we should report this to the higher-ups and ask them to banish this human from the Alliance to set an example."

"Yes, humans really show no respect for rules at all. He clearly doesn't care about the benefits of the Alliance. This man has no conscience. What's the use of keeping him in the Alliance? Perfected Xie, report it, banish him from the Alliance."

"Yes, report it, kick him out!"

...

Several Beast Race mutated beings were making loud noises to boost Shi Weiyuan's might, including the rooster dao-attainer Ji Xian, the dog dao-attainer Dai Jin, the scorpion dao-attainer Xie Wei.

Counting Perfected Xie and Shi Weiyuan, among the seven mutated beings present, apart from Xiao Mu, five of them suggested banishing Xiao Mu from the Alliance.

The other two mutated beings had not spoken up immediately. They were just watching the developments quietly.

These two mutated beings were one who had attained Dao from stubborn stone, named Stone Soul, and the other who had attained Dao from an ancient tree, named Wood Spirit - both were mutated beings who were friendly towards humans.

"With the crowd against you, Xiao Mu, since the majority of the group members agree that you should be banished from the Alliance, I must comply with the common opinion."

Perfected Xie cast a cold sneer towards Xiao Mu. His malicious intent was very evident. It was clear that he planned on using this chance to banish Xiao Mu from the Alliance.

Once banished from the Alliance, Xiao Mu would no longer be an Alliance member. At that point, apart from losing access to the resources provided by the Alliance, he also would no longer enjoy the protection provided by the Alliance.

Considering the hostility of the Beast Race towards humans, it was likely that the moment Xiao Mu stepped out of the Alliance station, he would be pursued and killed by dozens if not hundreds of Beast Race beings.

Despite this, Xiao Mu remained calm. His eyes glanced tranquilly over Perfected Xie and the other mutated beings. He coldly said, "Banish me from the Alliance? You can try. Don't say I didn't warn you about regrets."

Thinking of the giant finger collected within his Dharma Bell, Xiao Mu looked completely confident and fearless.

The giant finger in the Dharma Bell was simply too important to this world.

A single finger was so potent; what about its owner?
