"Xiao Mu, others are already provoking you, aren't you going to teach them a lesson?"

Ge Xuan Shi instigates with a fake smile.

Is he just trying to stir up trouble?

Xiao Mu glanced at Ge Xuan Shi calmly, not engaging in the argument.

He had already figured out that this zombie, Chen E, was the type to provoke anyone he encountered, regardless of their power level—a typical case of being ignorant of danger.

It was rare for such a person not to have been killed by someone else already.

"Ge Xuan Shi, what do you mean by that?"

Ge Xuan Shi's words immediately drew Chen E's attention, who angrily retorted, "You want Xiao Mu to teach me a lesson? By your words, you're suggesting I'm no match for Xiao Mu? Let's fight and see if I can't curse you to death."

He changed his target and went on to provoke Ge Xuan Shi.

"Chen E, don't go crazy. I have no interest in fighting with you."

Ge Xuan Shi ignored Chen E's provocation, "As for whether you're a match for Xiao Mu, well, do you know that not long ago, Xiao Mu just killed King Yi Shan."

"What? King Yi Shan?"

Chen E was taken aback and froze on the spot.

Feng Zhu, on the other hand, was unsurprised, as he had already sensed Xiao Mu's power and was unfazed by the news of King Yi Shan's demise.

King Yi Shan was a veteran Mutated Being of the Fifth Realm.

Having engaged in battles against him multiple times, Chen E had a thorough understanding of his strength.

"How is that possible? How could a powerful being like King Yi Shan have been killed by Xiao Mu?"

"Not only was it King Yi Shan, but I remember that Xiao Mu single-handedly fought against both King Yi Shan and Ghost King together, killing both of them."

Ge Xuan Shi chuckled, speaking as if it was a minor incident.

"King Yi Shan and Ghost King teamed up, how…how is that possible?"

Chen E's massive head came to an abrupt stop, his giant face written with disbelief multiplied several times.

Xiao Mu not only defeated the combined forces of King Yi Shan and Ghost King but also succeeded in killing both of them.

Such strength...

His facial expression slowly changed, becoming gloomier.

If Xiao Mu's strength was indeed as terrifying as Ge Xuan Shi described, he would certainly not be a match.

Nonetheless, moments later, being habitually provoking, he still retorted and murmured, "What does it matter if he killed King Yi Shan and Ghost King working together? It doesn't necessarily mean he can beat me."

"Haha!"

Ge Xuan Shi had a look of disdain on his face.

Feng Zhu wore a smile, but did not say a word.

"Mr. Xiao, what's your stance on the issue of targeting Ancestor Xuan Yin's infiltration?"

Feng Zhu made a strategically timed diversion of the subject, asking Xiao Mu.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Mu found it strange, and took the opportunity to ask, "Don't you all have a unified stance on this?"

"We've never been completely unified."

Chen E angrily took over the conversation,"Regrettably, there are those among us who are conscientious objectors. They are fearful of life and death, dare not fight against King Xuan and his group, and only think of hiding, avoiding confrontation until the Realm of True Nothingness opens up again. Yet one must consider, is it even possible to avoid a fight?"

Xiao Mu perked up and looked at Chen E.

With just a short response, it was clear to him that this makeshift alliance was actually split into two factions.

One faction was clearly Chen E's pro-active group, while the other was clearly a contrast, being defensive.

Judging by Feng Zhu's character, he was likely part of the latter.

All four of Feng Zhu's noses moved in unison, and he showed a smile on his ugly face, explaining to Xiao Mu lightly, "Being defensive does not necessarily equate to cowardice."

"King Xuan has the Xuan Yin Banner, a magic treasure gifted by Ancestor Xuan Yin. Alongside Hades, they control it, and its power is infinite."

"The Xuan Yin Banner is a magic treasure. Once unfurled, which of us mutated beings could possibly resist?"

"Therefore, avoiding its edge is the best choice. As long as we wait for the Realm of True Nothingness to open again, we can seize the opportunity to escape. By then, even if Ancestor Xuan Yin has truly breached the realm, he can't do anything to us."

"That's not how it works."

Ge Xuan Shi intervened, bluntly rebutting Feng Zhu, "If we hide, don't you think King Xuan and his group will come find us?"

"When they find us, we can't avoid the battle."

"Besides, the longer we drag on, the stronger the Xuan Yin Banner's power and the greater the likelihood of Ancestor Xuan Yin's successful integration."

"By that time, not to mention his complete integration, even if he barely extends one hand through, he can wipe us all out."

"Therefore, it's still best to take the initiative and strive to overcome King Xuan and Hades, seize the Xuan Yin Banner. This is the right path."

Ge Xuan Shi was also part of the offensive faction.

Understanding dawned in Xiao Mu's heart.

"Xiao Mu, what's your stance? Don't tell me you also want to evade and wait for the Realm of True Nothingness to reopen. Let me tell you, it's not going to happen, King Xuan and Hades won't give us that opportunity."

Chen E's massive head lowered to look at Xiao Mu, blood continuously streaming from his crimson eyes.

"Xiao Mu, you should decide early. I know you're not an indecisive person."

Ge Xuan Shi urgently called out, urging Xiao Mu to make a decision.

"Ah!"

Feng Zhu suddenly sighed, "Taking the initiative again and again? How many times have we launched a pre-emptive strike without suffering a massive loss? Who's ever won one of these offensive attacks?"

"So many pre-emptive strikes, haven't all the dead been absorbed by the Xuan Yin Banner? If we continue this way, the Xuan Yin Banner will grow stronger, and it might even break open the space and invite Ancestor Xuan Yin in."

Chen E sneered in retort, "Ridiculous! Which battle doesn't result in casualties? By hiding, you think there won't be any deaths?"

"At least there would be fewer deaths."
