Xiao Mu did not elaborate, after all, it was just a guess, and he was not sure if it was true.

Ghost Princess nodded, a hint of confusion in her eyes as she looked at Xiao Mu, but she did not object.

Xiao Mu casually collected the supplies from the Divine Wing King and hurried back with Ghost Princess.

Before long, they encountered the Ghost Servant who had chased after them. They handed two Storage Boxes over to Xiao Mu, who put them away and stored them in the Earth Seal Space.

They put away the Ghost Servant and rushed back with Ghost Princess.

They ran into the Extreme Yin King and others who had fled in different directions when they were several hundred miles from camp.

"Xiao Mu, you and Ghost Princess are pretty lucky, you actually didn't die under the Xuan Yin Banner!"

Just as they met, Cen Yan voiced his surprise.

Ghost Princess couldn't help but glare at him, angry, "If you didn't die, why would we?"

Cen Yan laughed, his smile looking incredibly annoying, "It's strange. The Xuan Yin Banner appeared and you two did not run away. You should have died under it. Yet, you managed to come back alive. I find this curious!"

There was nothing good in this man's mouth. Every word held a curse.

Ghost Princess glared at Cen Yan fiercely.

His words were really repugnant. If not for their temporary alliance and his use, Ghost Princess would not hesitate to kill him.

Xiao Mu calmly looked at Cen Yan, silently deciding that once they escaped, he must find a way to get rid of this man.

Mainly because of the repulsive words he spoke and his facial expressions. He was so odious that people couldn't help but want to kill him.

The Extreme Yin King picked up the conversation, "Xiao Mu, Ghost Princess, I'm also curious. How did you escape when being chased by the Xuan Yin Banner?"

Chen E's face mirrored the curiosity as well.

The three of them could not figure out how Xiao Mu and Ghost Princess managed to escape the pursuit of the Xuan Yin Banner.

Especially Ghost Princess, who managed to escape even when targeted by the Xuan Yin Banner, left them incredulous.

Ghost Princess maintained her composure, not even glancing at Xiao Mu, for fear that the Extreme Yin King and the others would make wild guesses from her movements and expressions, revealing the fact that Xiao Mu possessed the Magic Treasure.

Xiao Mu explained, "It had nothing to do with us. The Xuan Yin Banner retreated on its own."

"How is that possible?"

"Impossible!"

"Xiao Mu, don't talk nonsense! How could the Xuan Yin Banner suddenly retreat?"

Extreme Yin King, Cen Yan, and Chen E all stopped short, the disbelief clear on their faces.

Xiao Mu had already guessed that they might not believe him, so he shared his own speculation, "Wu Ling and his party must have had an accident on their side. Their surprise attack was discovered."

"Wu Ling!"

The Extreme Yin King froze, his gaze shifting as he slowly seemed to grasp something.

Cen Yan burst out in laughter, "Haha! Someone is going to die over there with Wu Ling. I wonder who it's going to be."

Chen E looked blank, "Xiao Mu, are you saying that the Xuan Yin Banner suddenly let us go to attack Wu Ling and the others? Does this mean that Wu Ling and their task cannot be completed?"

Chen E looked downcast.

If Wu Ling and their task could not be completed, wouldn't the plan to destroy the backup blood sacrifice for the Xuan Yin Banner fail?

"Damn it!"

The Extreme Yin King suddenly thought of something and his face darkened.

"Trouble! So…"

Ghost Princess, too, thought of it, glanced at Xiao Mu. Only now did she realize what Xiao Mu meant by 'not just'.

"Let's hope they're lucky and are not all used for the blood sacrifice!"

Cen Yan's face also turned grim, giving up on his earlier frivolous attitude.

"What are you talking about? What's the problem? Is it that Wu Ling and the others are going to die under the Xuan Yin Banner?"

Chen E looked bewildered, a hint of worry appearing on his face.

He and Wu Ling were part of the same Zombie Clan, but he was not worried for Wu Ling; he was worried that their deaths would make the Xuan Yin Banner stronger.

"Sigh!"

Cen Yan sighed, looking at Chen E with amusement, "With your intellect, I'm amazed you've survived this long."

Chen E was immediately enraged, "Cen Wu, dare you curse me? Do you really think I wouldn't dare to kill you? I curse..."

The Power of Thick Soil revolved around him, pointing at Cen Yan, he was about to cast his curse.

Any offensive words from Cen Yan could be borne by others, but not Chen E, who was itching for a fight. He could not help but lash out.

"Stop! Stop! Stop!"

Cen Yan didn't want to fight with Chen E and quickly waved him off before he cast his curse, "I'll tell you why."

"Coward! Since you're willing to bow to me, I shall spare you. Speak! What's going on?"

Chen E put down his right hand and dispersed the Power of Thick Soil.

His casual mockery nearly succeeded in provoking Cen Yan.

Cen Yan glared at Chen E for a moment, finally putting aside the idea of a big fight, "Fine, I won't bicker with you. With your way of provocation, you're bound to be killed by a stronger person sooner or later."

Before Chen E could get angry, he continued, "The reason why we said it was troublesome is because after Wu Ling and their surprise attack plan was broken by King Xuan and Hades, they realized that the lives of the mutated beings of the Fourth Realm on their side were not safe, and they could be attacked again at any time."

"To prevent those mutated beings of the Fourth Realm from being killed by us, ending their hope of refining the Xuan Yin Banner with a backup blood sacrifice, King Xuan and Hades would definitely try to convince the strong beings of other clans to immediately blood sacrifice the mutated beings to the Xuan Yin Banner."

"Immediate blood sacrifice?"

Chen E was stunned, "So, you're saying, we no longer have a chance to interrupt King Xuan's backup blood sacrifice plan?"
