Zhu Yansheng retorted, "Are you talking about Commander Yang's son, Yang Lei?"

Deer Kirin responded, "Exactly, Commander Yang's son. Have you ever met him?"

Zhu Yansheng thought for a moment and said, "Yang Jin, I indeed met him. About a couple of weeks ago, he seemed to be with my brother Ying Long."

"Ying Long?"

Deer Kirin was clearly aware of Ying Long.

Zhu Yansheng further explains, "Yes, Yang Jin and Ying Long teamed up to pursue and kill someone."

"To pursue and kill someone?"

Deer Kirin's face changed suddenly as he seemed anxious. Yang Jin's death might be related to the person he intended to pursue. In a serious voice, he asked, "Who?"

Zhu Yansheng replied, "Xiao Mu."

"Who is Xiao Mu?"

Deer Kirin hadn't heard of Xiao Mu.

Zhu Yansheng gnashed his teeth and said, "He's a Human Mutant."

Deer Kirin frowned and said, "Human Mutant? Him? I seem to vaguely remember that the first human mutant to enter Broken Truth Mountain was named Xiao Mu. Not long ago, during the Demon Secret Realm task, this person seemed to have acquired a piece of clothes from a true realm expert."

Zhu Yansheng confirmed: "It seems Brother Deer has also heard of this name, yes, it is indeed him."

"Haha!"

Deer Kirin sneered, and a killing intent emerged from his slightly squinted eyes, "Seems like the one who killed Yang Jin is likely to be this Xiao Mu."

"Yang Jin is dead?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yansheng wore a shocked expression. He disbelievingly widened his eyes, "Xiao Mu dares to kill even the son of Commander Yang?"

Deer Kirin chuckled and said, "Ha, indeed a bold one. But we can't be sure that Xiao Mu is the murderer yet, we still need more investigation."

"The location of Yang Jin's death is just up ahead."

"Zhu Yansheng, if you have nothing better to do, follow me to see. If you find who killed Commander Yang's son, Commander Yang will definitely thank you and owe you a favor."

Zhu Yansheng promptly accepted the invitation of Deer Kirin, "Since it's a matter concerning Commander Yang and the death of his only son, I, Zhu Yansheng, must surely lend a hand."

Sometime later, the two arrived at the edge of the myriad of deathly sinister Qi and stood beside the enormous tunnel dug by Xiao Mu.

"Brother Deer, without a doubt, not just Yang Jin, even Ying Long was killed by Xiao Mu. Look, there are traces of his Fire Dragon Vehicle in this tunnel."

Zhu Yansheng, pointing at the tracks of the Fire Dragon Vehicle, confidently informed Deer Kirin.

"Are you certain?"

"Without a shadow of a doubt! It's definitely Xiao Mu."

"Haha! Since it's confirmed, then my task is considered accomplished. I will go back and report to Commander Yang, let him personally capture the culprit."

Upon hearing this, Deer Kirin stood up, ready to leave the Infinite Valley immediately.

"Wait, Brother Deer, not so fast!"

Zhu Yansheng suddenly stopped Deer Kirin, grinned and said, "For a late-stage Fourth Realm Mutant like Xiao Mu, I doubt that it's necessary for Commander Yang to take action personally."

"Huh? Xiao Mu is only in the late-stage of the Fourth Realm?"

Deer Kirin was slightly surprised.

Considering Xiao Mu's strength is only in the late-stage of the Fourth Realm, this was an extraordinary feat. Yang Jin and Ying Long, both peak mutants, got detected and killed by a mere late-stage mutant. This clearly implied Xiao Mu was unusually powerful and formidable.

But then, Deer Kirin regained his composure quickly, He even seemed dismissive about Xiao Mu. Regardless of how strong a late-stage Fourth Realm Mutant is, he could never be a match for him in peak perfection.

Zhu Yansheng chuckled, "Right, so I suggest we team up and catch Xiao Mu and present him to Commander Yang. How does that sound, Brother Deer?"

"You know where Xiao Mu is?"

Deer Kirin seemed hesitant, not very willing, yet was also tempted. Finding the clue and catching the felon are two different things. The latter surely brings about more praise from Commander Yang Lei.

Zhu Yansheng laughed heartily, his face radiated with absolute confidence, "Rumor has it that Brother Deer is proficient in tracking magic. As luck would have it, I have a piece of treasure that contains Xiao Mu's energy."

"With this item and Brother Deer's tracking magic, shouldn't finding Xiao Mu be an easy task?"

"You have a piece of treasure that contains Xiao Mu's energy?"

Deer Kirin was overjoyed when he heard that, "Haha, bring out that piece of treasure. If there is energy trace of Xiao Mu on it, finding his whereabouts would be a cinch for me."

At this moment, Xiao Mu, who was diligently striving to break through to the peak perfection, had no idea that the brother of Yang Jin, the person he had killed, Yang Lei, had already arrived outside the Infinite Valley, and was deploying his men to track him down.

However, for Xiao Mu, who had made all the necessary preparations, the breakthrough seemed to be a sure thing.
