The Extreme Yin King and Mysterious Character Card's Evil Ghost possessed a cold sneer in their eyes all along, displaying an attitude of arrogance as if they held all the cards and looked down on everyone.
For the rest of the kings, apart from Du Qing who looked worried, the rest seemed delighted at the disaster that was about to occur and were prepared to enjoy the show.
"Xiao Mu, I will lend a hand when necessary. However, the Extreme Yin King is too powerful, and the forces behind the Mysterious Character Card's Evil Ghost are too great. It would be best not to provoke them if you can avoid it," Du Qing transmitted his voice again, seriously cautioning Xiao Mu.
"Thank you!"
Xiao Mu could decipher the implied meaning in the Extreme Yin King's words.
As they both originated from the Human World, Du Qing would assist when necessary, but only when necessary. If it got too dangerous or too troublesome, Du Qing would likely opt to sit back and observe.
The task given by the government to secretly protect the geniuses participating in the mission in the Realm of True Nothingness, it didn't imply he had to protect others at the risk of his own life.
After responding, Xiao Mu began to secretly plot his next move.
He couldn't completely rely on Du Qing.
"Princess, do you recognize this evil ghost?" Xiao Mu transmitted his voice, asking the Ghost Princess.
"I do not, I have never seen it before."
The Ghost Princess's response disappointed Xiao Mu.
This "Mysterious Character Card" Evil Ghost was someone even the Ghost Princess didn't recognize, greatly exceeding Xiao Mu's expectations.
In that case, this Evil Ghost possibly did not belong to any of the Four Major Ghost Clans.
After thinking for a while, Xiao Mu used voice transmission to probe the Mysterious Character Card's Evil Ghost, "We are strangers and bear no grudges, how about we peacefully coexist from now on?"
The reason he transmitted the sound inquiring was not because Xiao Mu was afraid of this Mysterious Character Card's Evil Ghost, it was solely because he was concerned about the influence behind it.
"What benefits can you offer me?"
The response from the Mysterious Character Card's Evil Ghost came instantly, demanding a reward on the spot.
Xiao Mu was startled by this, he ventured further, "What benefits did the Extreme Yin King offer you?"
"As long as you are willing to give me that giant seal, I will refuse the Extreme Yin King and cooperate with you instead, how does that sound?"
The Mysterious Character Card's Evil Ghost responded back instantly, demanding Xiao Mu's Seal of the Heavenly Emperor.
Xiao Mu was secretly annoyed, this Evil Ghost had actually taken a liking to his Lifebound Treasure, the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor.
"This Giant Seal is my Lifebound Treasure, and cannot be given away. Perhaps you can state another condition," replied Xiao Mu after a moment.
"Hehe!"
The Mysterious Character Card's Evil Ghost sneered in response to Xiao Mu's sound transmission.
"Friend, how about that?" Xiao Mu transmitted his voice again to inquire.
"Unless you are willing to give me that Giant Seal, there is nothing to discuss!" The Mysterious Character Card's Evil Ghost coldly responded, leaving no room for negotiation.
Xiao Mu's expression gradually turned serious.
The sound transmission was actually just a probe.
Judging by the response of the Mysterious Character Card's Evil Ghost, there seemed to be some sort of agreement between it and the Extreme Yin King.
Not only did it intend to assist the Extreme Yin King in snatching the Force of Good and Evil from him, it also seemed to have designs on him.
After the Force of Good and Evil was seized, they would definitely turn against him.
The condition the Extreme Yin King set for the Mysterious Character Card's Evil Ghost to take action was likely that, after killing him, the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor would belong to the Mysterious Character Card's Evil Ghost.
With this thought, a killing intent surged within Xiao Mu.
He didn't want to provoke this Mysterious Character Card's Evil Ghost not because it was powerful, but solely because he was wary of the True Realm powerhouse behind it.
But, if the Mysterious Character Card's Evil Ghost insisted on targeting him, he wouldn't mind killing it.
What could a True Realm powerhouse do?
So far, Xiao Mu had crossed many True Realm powerhouses, it was not just one or two.
If necessary, he wouldn't mind killing the Mysterious Character Card's Evil Ghost, even if it ends up being targeted by a True Realm powerhouse.
"Next up, I will do my best to seize the Force of Good and Evil. You both absorb as much as you can and attempt to perfect your True Strength Seed as soon as possible."
Subsequently, Xiao Mu transmitted his voice to the Ghost Princess and Ghost Servant.
Both the Ghost Princess and Ghost Servant could sense the gravity in Xiao Mu's tone.
"Yes, my lord!" Ghost Servant agreed immediately, without the slightest hesitation.
"Xiao Mu, If the enemy's too strong, I can assist you," the Ghost Princess responded, a sense of determination and confidence in her voice, "My father, King Youming, gave me a Transcendent Deity Map. This map contains a shadow of my father imbued with my father's most powerful attack."
"A Transcendent Deity Map? You still have such a treasure in your possession?" Xiao Mu was surprised by the Ghost Princess's statement, but it also put his mind at ease to some extent.
Although he didn't know what this Transcendent Deity Map was, from the Ghost Princess's words, it could be inferred that it was definitely not an object one could take lightly.
"Ghost Princess, how powerful is your father, King Youming? Did he reach the Peak Fifth Realm?" Xiao Mu asked with curiosity toward King Youming's strength.
King Youming's power compelled the Extreme Yin King to restrain his behavior without even being present, which indicated that King Youming's strength must be extremely impressive, at least a late Fifth Realm or even at the peak warrior.
The Ghost Princess cautiously transmitted her voice, "Xiao Mu, my father's cultivation level is a secret. If I tell you, you must not disclose it to anyone else."
"You can rest assured, I won't tell anyone," Xiao Mu communicated back, increasingly curious.
King Youming's strength was actually still a secret?
The Ghost Princess conveyed, "In fact, my father had been a Peak Fifth Realm warrior many years ago. He began the observation of life and death last year, preparing to break through to the True Realm."
"As for now, my father might have already broken through, stepping into the True Realm."
Might have?
Xiao Mu caught the uncertainty in the Ghost Princess's words.
