A flicker of anger passed over Xiao Mu's face.

A body search?

Who did they think they were?

He glanced coldly at Shi Ruoshen, "And if I refuse?"

Shi Ruoshen responded, "Xiao Mu, don't be unreasonable. We're giving you a chance by proposing a search. If we didn't, we wouldn't even mention it. Since you claim you haven't received any benefit, why not let us search? The only reason to refuse is if you're hiding something."

"So, I should thank you, then."

Xiao Mu was irritated, but kept his face expressionless.

"There's no need for thanks."

Lord Black Tiger spoke pompously, "But by proposing a search, we are giving you a chance to prove yourself. Otherwise, how can we cooperate?"

"Xiao Mu, you surely don't think you can make a name for yourself in the Realm of True Nothingness all by yourself, do you?"

"Don't forget, in this journey to the Realm of True Nothingness, it's not just us humans involved, but also the Greenfin Clan, the Evil Ghost Clan, the Zombie Clan, each clan has their own strong members. Without our help, Xiao Mu, how long do you think you can survive under their relentless pursuit?"

Xiao Mu sneered coldly, "You sure know how to make yourselves out to be important. Don't worry, without you all, I can still live very comfortably."

"Ha!"

Zhu Lingzu sneered, "If you insist on that, then there's nothing more to be said. Xiao Mu, best of luck on your journey in the Realm of True Nothingness!"

His words were obviously sarcastic, as if Xiao Mu had been doomed from the start.

The journey to the Realm of True Nothingness was highly dangerous, far more perilous than the Infinite Valley, something everyone was well aware of.

Most Mutated Beings, before entering the Realm of True Nothingness, would band together, acting in groups to fend off stronger foes and acquire Power Seeds.

"Hmph! Ungrateful. I'll see how long you can stay so arrogant."

Lord Black Tiger glared at Xiao Mu, his hostility clearly evident.

"Don't come begging for our help when the time comes."

Shi Ruoshen spoke mockingly.

All three believed Xiao Mu was doomed. Once he entered the Realm of True Nothingness, his death would be inevitable.

"The feeling's mutual! I hope you all can live long enough to see it."

Xiao Mu retorted coldly, casually walking away.

Zhu Lingzu and the others did not stop him. After all, they were on an airplane, right outside Elder Li's room. They wouldn't dare make a move against Xiao Mu in such a place, even if they were ten times bolder.

"Congratulations, Mr. Xiao, for getting a chance to meet Elder Li! You must have gained a lot!"

Upon returning, Xiao Mu ran into Du Kuang, who had been waiting for him outside his room.

Du Kuang was all smiles, constantly congratulating Xiao Mu.

"There's no need for formalities. Why were you looking for me?"

Xiao Mu didn't reveal what gain Elder Li had given him.

The Secret Manual of Five Elements Power that Elder Li mentioned was not given to him right then. That would only be possible once Xiao Mu absorbed the Gold-Water Dual Force and entered the Fifth Realm.

"I just came to extend my congratulations to Mr. Xiao."

Du Kuang chuckled awkwardly, seeing that Xiao Mu didn't intend to discuss it further. He promptly made his excuses and bowed to Xiao Mu, "It seems you're tired, Mr. Xiao. I won't disturb you further, see you at our destination."

"Wait a moment!"

As if suddenly remembering something, Xiao Mu called out to Du Kuang.

Du Kuang turned around, eagerly replying, "If Mr. Xiao needs any assistance, feel free to ask."

"Do you have detailed information on Zhu Lingzu, Shi Ruoshen, and Lord Black Tiger?"

Xiao Mu switched to telepathic communication, deliberately keeping his voice from spilling out to avoid eavesdropping.

Du Kuang's expression sharpened, and he also switched to telepathic communication, "Zhu Lingzu, Shi Ruoshen, Lord Black Tiger are all standout participants in this mission. I can only obtain partial information about them. It won't be too detailed."

"That's fine."

Xiao Mu was not picky, "Please compile it, and give it to me before we reach our destination."

Du Kuang promised, "Rest assured, Mr. Xiao. I'll make sure to complete the task. If I work on it today, I might be able to give it to you tomorrow."

"Thank you."

"You're too kind, Mr. Xiao. It's my duty."

After bidding each other goodbye, Xiao Mu returned to his room for rest.

The next day, Du Kuang did indeed deliver the information on Zhu Lingzu and the others.

The data was not particularly detailed. It only recorded basic information about the three, such as their cultivation methods, what treasures they carried with them, and what Power Seed they planned to use in their initiation, etc.

Xiao Mu read through it carefully, then set it aside.

According to the data, the power of the three individuals was not enough to threaten him.

Even in a one-on-one fight, these three weren't as strong as Wu Song, Cen, and Li.

Whereas Xiao Mu's strength had clearly improved since his fights with Wu Song, Cen, and Li.

His own power hadn't changed, still at Peak Perfection of the Fifth Realm, if anything, he was even slightly short on Extraordinary Qi.

However, the power of his treasures had increased significantly. The enhanced power of the Door-God Painting, plus the Realm-level treasure, the Destruction Spear, had greatly boosted Xiao Mu's strength.

A week later, the airplane successfully reached the Realm of True Nothingness, a secret realm in the great mountains in the south. It had been transformed into a special terrain between the Mortal Realm and True Realm after the World Mutation.

As the airplane landed, everyone disembarked.

A Mutated Being from the Fifth Realm flew from the distance and soon approached.

Clearly, this person was sent by the Alliance to arrive early and prepare for the mission.

"Greetings, Elder Li!"

This mutated being from the Fifth Realm respectfully paid his respects to Elder Li.
