"Mr. Mu, in my dream, I was taken into that path, and inside, there was a peculiar altar."

As soon as he left the family temple, Xu Qingyuan couldn't wait to share this with Xiao Mu.

Xiao Mu nodded; besides what Xu Qingyuan had just disclosed, he guessed that Ancestor Xu might be inside as well, captured by the Blood Demon, preparing to sacrifice him to the evil spirit about to emerge from the Ghost Gate.

After a thought, Xiao Mu felt it necessary to recount the events that had befallen the Xu Family to Xu Qingyuan, so he could be mentally prepared. This way, he wouldn't panic at the crucial moment and make a mistake.

"Mr. Xu, I know everything about your family's situation already. As for what exactly has gone wrong, I think it's necessary to inform you."

Xiao Mu said solemnly.

Seeing Xiao Mu's serious expression, Xu Qingyuan immediately tensed up, his panic mixed with fear, "Mr. Mu, please go ahead. No matter what it is, and no matter how grave the situation, I believe I can bear it."

Even as he spoke, his anxious and panicky tone betrayed his inner turmoil.

Patting him on the shoulder, Xiao Mu comforted, "Don't worry, with me here, there won't be any problems."

Xu Qingyuan looked at Xiao Mu with gratitude, "I'm depending on you for everything, Mr. Mu."

Xiao Mu said, "Actually, it's quite simple. Behind the door in your family's ancestral temple, a Ghost Gate has been opened."

"Ghost... Ghost Gate?"

Despite his anticipation, Xu Qingyuan was scared once again by Xiao Mu's revelation.

"Don't worry!"

Xiao Mu reassured him once more sternly, "Like I said, with me here, there won't be any issues."

"The opening of the Ghost Gate is very difficult, I suspect that it was the Evil Ghost who used your family's ancestral blood as a sacrifice to harness the power of the sacrifice to open it. This is why you dreamt of that altar. The altar serves for offerings."

"Moreover, the emergence of the Ghost Gate indicates that a very powerful evil spirit is about to cross over from the Nether Soil, that is the one that the Yin Horse and Nether Vehicle went to welcome that I told you about."

This time, Xu Qingyuan was ready. After all, Xiao Mu had already mentioned the evil spirit that the Yin Horse and Nether Vehicle went to welcome. Hearing about it again, he wasn't as shocked.

"Mr. Mu, whatever you say we should do, we'll do it. I'll follow your lead."

Xu Qingyuan quickly expressed.

He really had no idea what to do in these bizarre circumstances.

"Alright, let's go back first. I'll call a couple of friends to help."

Xiao Mu responded with a smile.

Xu Qingyuan drove, and Xiao Mu began contacting Wang Tong and Zhao Yan on the car ride.

He sent a message in the group, "Stumbled upon a hoard of Evil Ghosts. Big reward for killing them. Want in?"

Wang Tong immediately replied, "Haha! I knew it! It's always a win to follow Boss Mu. Where, where? I'm on my way."

"Count me in!"

Zhao Yan seemed much calmer.

"We'll talk when you're here."

Xiao Mu sent Xu Qingyuan's address to both of them.

"On my way!"

Wang Tong replied.

"Leaving now!"

Zhao Yan then also sent a message.

"My friends are on their way. With their help, and me, your family's problem will certainly be solved."

Putting away his cellphone, Xiao Mu said to Xu Qingyuan.

"I'm counting on you for everything, Mr. Mu."

Xu Qingyuan replied with gratitude.

Before long, they arrived at the Xu family home.

Xiao Mu awaited at Xu's place as Xu Qingyuan hurried out to buy some edibles, all prepared food for hosting Xiao Mu and others.

It was more than an hour later when Wang Tong and Zhao Yan arrived.

"What good thing is there to kill, Boss Mu?"

As soon as Wang Tong got out of the car, he exclaimed excitedly.

"Impatient!"

Zhao Yan curled her lips slightly, a look of disdain for Wang Tong's impulsive style, but the surprise in her eyes betrayed her.

"Have you eaten yet? If not, eat some first."

Xiao Mu, while eating the prepared food that Xu Qingyuan had bought, greeted the two of them.

Wang Tong and Zhao Yan had already eaten, but for the sake of the coming battle, they ate some more.

Incidentally, Xiao Mu introduced the two of them to Xu Qingyuan, but used their codenames.

One is Electra, one is the real martial artist.

After finishing their meal, Xiao Mu began to explain the situation of this battle to Wang Tong and Zhao Yan.

"This time, the situation is a bit unfavorable. What we currently know is that there's a Blue Blood Ghost, various Evil Ghosts of unknown number, and possibly a Green Blood Ghost, or maybe not."

"In addition to that, there's a more formidable creature, suspected to be a Red Blood Ghost, or even a stronger one - a Purple-Black Blood Ghost."

"What? A Red Blood Ghost?"

If Zhao Yan and Wang Tong were just a little worried when they heard about the Blue Blood Ghost, they were shocked upon hearing about the Red Blood Ghost.

The Blue Blood Ghost, which they had previously dealt with, had a stunningly potent power. For them, who were just at the Second Realm of their respective Variants, it would be difficult to withstand even one strike.

Luckily, both of them have improved their strength lately, quickly reaching the verge of breaking through to the Third Realm. When facing the Blue Blood Ghost, they are no longer as helpless as before, and they do have some confidence.

However, they were taken aback when Xiao Mu mentioned the Red Blood Ghost.

While they might be able to deal with the Blue Blood Ghost by teaming up with Xiao Mu, the Red Blood Ghost's strength is at least twice that of the Blue Blood Ghost. How could the three of them possibly take it on?

Even with Xiao Mu's strength, how could he possibly manage?

Not long ago, when they defeated a second-grade evil zombie, they didn't confront it directly but cleverly sealed it within the Stone Coffin using the Golden Inkstone to let Xiao Mu successfully kill it using the Fire Talisman.

If they had challenged it directly, they wouldn't have stood a chance.

Even if Xiao Mu's strength has grown lately, just like theirs had, it still seems impossible for them to face the Red Blood Ghost, even with the three of them combined, right?

Not to mention the Blue Blood Ghost.

"Don't worry!"

Seeing their worried expressions, Xiao Mu who had predicted this response said, "Although the Red Blood Ghost is potent, it doesn't require us to face it squarely."

On retrospect, they can't face the Red Blood Ghost squarely even with Xiao Mu having the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor.

Xiao Mu explained the situation and after hearing it, Zhao Yan and Wang Tong's expressions eased.

Zhao Yan said, "Mr. Mu, are you saying that we only need to use the ink pot to seal Ghost Gate, preventing the Red Blood Ghost from crossing over, and that would suffice?"

"Exactly!"

Xiao Mu nodded, "We don't actually need to tackle the Red Blood Ghost. As long as we seal it and prevent it from crossing over, we have won. What we really need to deal with are only the Blue Blood Ghost and other Evil Ghosts and possibly a Green Blood Ghost, but at most only one."

"One Blue Blood Ghost plus possibly a Green Blood Ghost, and the rest are Evil Ghosts. I think with our strength, and a bit of strategizing, we should be able to handle it."

Saying this, Xiao Mu's face broke into a slight smile, looking utterly confident.

If it was before, he wouldn't have dared to make such a commitment.

But recently he got the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor, and the Ghost Servant's strength also improved, exceeding the Evil Ghosts and capable of confronting the Blood Ghosts.

Xiao Mu is somewhat self-assured.
