""This..."

Stone Soul and Wood Spirit were torn, their faces filled with shame.

After a moment, the Wood Spirit hesitated, "Mr. Xiao, are you really sure you can kill the demon? The demon's ability is bizarre and if it can't be killed..."

Xiao Mu interrupted Wood Spirit quite bluntly, affirming, "If I say I can kill it, then I can kill it. Retreating ten thousand steps, even if it cannot be killed, it will be my responsibility and I am willing to take the full blame."

"So, what will it be? Would you like to continue this partnership - or not? Please make your decisions quickly."

Staring straight at Stone Soul and Wood Spirit, he put a great amount of pressure on them.

Stone Soul and Wood Spirit looked at each other, clenched their teeth, and made a decision.

They chose to trust in Xiao Mu once again.

Stone Soul spoke, "Mr. Xiao, we are willing to continue to cooperate with you."

"And what about Wood Spirit?"

Xiao Mu looked towards Wood Spirit.

"I am also willing."

Wood Spirit gritted his teeth and made a tough decision.

"Now, that's what friends do!"

Feeling gratified, Xiao Mu nodded, and directed his words towards Perfected Xiaozhen, "Team Leader Xiaozhen, what about you? Can we kill the demon?"

Perfected Xiaozhen hadn't fully snapped out from the sudden change in Stone Soul and Wood Spirit's attitude. After hearing Xiao Mu's words, he sneered, "If you insist on killing the demon, I won't stop you."

"This mission is of great importance, so don't blame me for speaking frankly."

If you fail to kill and instead, strengthen the demon's powers and interfere with the mission, don't blame me for holding you accountable later."

Xiao Mu responded, "Since it was me who proposed to kill the demon, I am willing to bear all the responsibility."

"That's for the best."

Perfected Xiaozhen's icy gaze swept over Xiao Mu. He sneered, "Hehe! The decision was yours, and I gave you the opportunity. If you mess up the plan, even if you don't want to take the responsibility, you won't have a choice."

"Humans, I hope you can return alive. Otherwise, if the mission fails and there's no one to bear the consequences, won't that be a shame? "

Shi Weiyuan's voice carried a sarcastic overtone.

Without Xiao Mu making a move yet, he had already deemed that Xiao Mu would most definitely fail.

Xiao Mu sneered, "I certainly can return alive, it's just that the result may disappoint you. I will surely kill the demon and return victoriously."

"How ridiculous, full of confidence yet destined to die. Human, you are no match for the Power of Swallowing possessed by a demon."

Dai Jin, a dog who has attained Dao, ridiculed openly.

"Idiot!"

Xiao Mu's face darkened.

"What? Human, you dare insult me?"

Dai Jin, who had been insulted, was suddenly enraged.

"Insulting you is mild. You don't even know what means I possess, yet you're sure that I can't kill the demon. If that's not foolishness, what is? Do you think I am as incapable as you?"

Xiao Mu retorted without holding back.

Dai Jin's face changed; he found that he could not retort.

As Xiao Mu said, he indeed did not know what ability Xiao Mu possessed.

"Human, enough!"

Perfected Xiaozhen timely spoke up to mediate, "I brought you guys into the Demon Secret Realm, not to listen to your disputes. I've given you the opportunity, if you don't hurry up to kill the demon and want to stay here arguing, can your quarrels kill the demon?"

"Stone Soul, Wood Spirit, let's go!"

Xiao Mu said nothing more, and called to Stone Soul and Wood Spirit, running towards the demon's stronghold.

Stone Soul and Wood Spirit quickly followed him.

Perfected Xiaozhen and the other beasts stood still in their original places, staring solemnly at Xiao Mu, Stone Soul, and Wood Spirit.

As soon as the trio of Xiao Mu, Stone Soul, and Wood Spirit were a little further away, Shi Weiyuan couldn't help but say, "Leader Xiaozhen, shall we go too? Wait for the humans to draw out the demon, then we can attack it together and kill the demon."

"No need!"

Xiaozhen raised his palm, rejecting Shi Weiyuan's proposal. He watched as the figures of Xiao Mu, Stone Soul, and Wood Spirit gradually moved away. A murderous intent could be seen in his brown eyes, "We will wait and see. We will only discuss the next steps after they have failed against the demon."

The eyes of Shi Weiyuan and the other beasts lit up upon hearing this.

Shi Weiyuan was the first to praise, "Leader Xiaozhen is so tactful, in this way, won't the humans die?"

Xie Wei excitedly praised, saliva flying several meters away as he threw a thumbs up to Xiaozhen, "Xiaozhen, you really are wise! How could they possibly be a match for the demon with their abilities? We just need to sit and watch, and see them fail. At that time, we can punish them however we want. That human just admitted that he will take full responsibility if the mission fails, hehe! He is definitely seeking death!"

...

Under Xiaozhen's guidance, all the beasts remained motionless, waiting for Xiao Mu to fail.

...

"Mr. Xiao, is it really possible?"

The closer they got to the demonic camp, the more anxious Stone Soul became.

"I said it's possible, so it's possible."

Xiao Mu's tone was firm.

"Alright, lure them out."

Soon, the three of them arrived outside the demon's stronghold and Xiao Mu was the first to stop.

The demon's stronghold was a dimensional space.

If the demon were to hide inside the dimensional space and not come out, the mutated beings of this world would find it difficult to enter this dimensional space. So, their priority was to figure out how to lure the demons out.

Also, the power of the person attracting the demon should not be too strong.

Otherwise, if a group of powerful mutated beings flocked towards it, despite knowing that they weren't a match for them, the demon wouldn't be so foolish to walk out of the dimensional space to die.
