However, what shocked Xiao Mu the most was the long line of people outside the Cave Mansion.

This line was at least forty to fifty people in length, with each individual having reached the Fourth Realm.

Although the line was long, those queuing displayed no impatience.

Despite the absence of any gatekeepers outside the Cave Mansion, no one dared to intrude, all waiting quietly for an audience with Commander Yan.

It appears that the world of Mutants is the same as that of ordinary people.

Xiao Mu inwardly sighed.

Mutant Beings also strive to curry favour with power, even if they are strong beings at the Fourth Realm.

After all, they need protection and support from more powerful Mutants.

Commander Yan, being a strong being of the Fifth Realm, was precisely the object of their brown-nosing and flattery.

As soon as Qinglin brought Xiao Mu, a group of people surrounded them.

"Envoy Qinglin, how are you!"

"Greetings, Envoy Qinglin!"

"Envoy Qinglin, it's been a while. I recently obtained a jar of Mutated Fine Wine. I heard you enjoy good wine, this evening I'll have it sent to your residence. I hope to have the honor of you tasting it."

"Envoy Qinglin, I have two maids in my residence who have long admired you. I'm planning to host a dinner at my place tonight in your honor. I hope you would grace us with your presence."

...

The enthusiasm of the Mutants once again shocked Xiao Mu, making him incredulous.

This kind of opportunism is even more exaggerated than in the world of mortals.

Yet, Qinglin remained indifferent, waved his hand dismissively, and said calmly, "Everyone, please go back. Commander Yan doesn't have time today to receive guests."

Upon hearing this, everyone's faces fell in disappointment.

But, they also knew that Commander Yan was not so easily accessible.

If Envoy Qinglin says so, it seems that they truly cannot see Commander Yan today.

Disappointed, they left one by one.

"Come in with me."

Envoy Qinglin gestured to Xiao Mu and started heading towards the Cave Mansion.

A round-faced, smiling Mutant sauntered toward Xiao Mu. With a cunning and sly look he said: "I don't recognize you friend, you must be new to the Alliance. I'm Qing Shisheng. I took an instant liking to you. If you ever need a hand, you can find me at Area 1, No. 329."

With that, he took out a business card and earnestly handed it to Xiao Mu.

Xiao Mu was taken aback. He didn't expect someone to want to network and get acquainted with him like this.

Qinglin waved Qing Shisheng away and said to Xiao Mu: "This big guy is trying to curry favor with you to get an audience with Commander Yan through you."

He then turned to Qing Shisheng and said coldly: "Qing Shisheng, save your efforts. Commander Yan is not going to see you so easily."

"Your crooked path will never get you an audience with Commander Yan. The right path is to make an effort to achieve. Go away, quick! If you delay Commander Yan's business, you'll be the one to answer for it."

Upon bearing the brunt of Qinglin's menacing aura, Qing Shisheng shrunk back a little. However, he wasn't ready to give up and asked Xiao Mu: "Friend, what is your name and where do you live?"

Before Xiao Mu could answer, Qinglin reminded him, "If you tell him, he'll go and find you, and keep pestering you to introduce him to Commander Yan."

"Sorry!"

Xiao Mu shook his head without answering Qing Shisheng's question.

"Let's get going quickly, Commander Yan can't wait."

Envoy Qinglin urged him forward.

Ignoring Qing Shisheng, he followed Qinglin into Commander Yan's Cave Mansion.

Qing Shisheng stared in envy at Xiao Mu's retreating figure.

Xiao Mu had just recently joined the Alliance, and yet he could get an audience with Commander Yan, which made him extremely envious.

The Cave Mansion was filled with multiple secret areas and seemed to have a Great Array in place. As soon as Xiao Mu entered, he lost his bearings and had to follow Qinglin.

Qinglin led Xiao Mu through many twists and turns until they arrived in front of a magnificent Grand Hall.

"I report to Commander Yan, the Mutant who discovered the Giant Finger is here."

"Let him in."

A husky but authoritative male voice responded.

"Go in quickly, just answer whatever Commander Yan asks."

Qinglin reminded Xiao Mu and signalled him to proceed.

Xiao Mu took a deep breath and stepped into the Grand Hall.

The hall was vast. In the center, an elder sat upright. His gaze occasionally shifted to Xiao Mu, his eyes indifferent but his casual projection of momentum was intimating.

"Xiao Mu pays his respects to Commander Yan!"

Xiao Mu took another deep breath, calmed himself, and bowed to the elder.

The imposing aura of a Fifth Realm strong being radiating from this elder was immense, which could exert a great pressure even when he was still.

Luckily, Xiao Mu cultivated Taoist methods and had a strong spirit. Otherwise, just this aura would have been unbearable for him.

"Sit!"

Commander Yan's attitude was unusually kind. He gestured for Xiao Mu to sit down.

"Thank you!"

Xiao Mu expressed his gratitude and sat in the first empty seat he found.

"Xiao Mu, did you discover that Giant Finger?"

Commander Yan asked.

Xiao Mu replied, "Reporting to Commander Yan, I discovered it."

Perhaps sensing Xiao Mu's nervousness, Commander Yan gave a little smile, "Don't be nervous, I just want to ask you about the situation."

"Yes."

Xiao Mu responded.

After scrutinizing Xiao Mu for a moment, Commander Yan seemed surprised, "Xiao Mu, you're only in the early stage of the Fourth Realm, aren't you?"

Xiao Mu nodded, "Replying to Commander Yan, I entered the Fourth Realm less than a month ago."

"What?"

Upon hearing this, Commander Yan was even more astonished. "You've only been in the Fourth Realm for a month and yet, you were able to seal the Giant Finger? What Cultivation Method do you practice?"
