Upon hearing this, Qing Yan nodded, "Based on your description, this Gentleman Mo indeed seems to be a member of the Dongye Ghost Clan."

Then he continuously exclaimed in wonder, "How can such a coincidence happen! We were just discussing about the Dongye Ghost Clan, and you have already encountered a member!"

"Master."

After giving Qing Yan a glance and considering a bit, Xiao Mu said: "This Gentleman Mo will come back to the Xu Family in four days. I had initially planned to kill it."

"Since it is an important member of the Dongye Ghost Clan, and even you, Master, are wary of this clan, I am wondering whether I should kill it."

Even though he seemed calm, Xiao Mu still felt somewhat worried.

He didn't expect that this so-called Gentleman Mo could have such a formidable background, and according to Qing Yan, this Ghost Clan has many masters and even Qing Yan himself must be cautious.

What if he kills Gentleman Mo and attracts several Curse Ghost Level beings? Won't he be getting himself into trouble?

Xiao Mu was more than willing to slay ghosts and demons, and eliminate evil spirits, enhancing his own powers while benefiting and contributing to the peace and tranquility of this world.

But if this would cost his life and force him to undertake tasks beyond his capability, he would have to seriously consider it.

"Haha!"

Upon hearing this, Qing Yan burst into hearty laughter, looking at Xiao Mu, "I understand what you are worried about. You are afraid that killing Mo might lead to powerful ghosts crossing the realm to seek revenge, right? Do you remember what the Human Emperor responded when the old monk asked him just now?"

"Those who come will be killed!"

Xiao Mu replied.

"In that case, what is there for you to worry about? The Human Emperor has spoken—those who come will be killed! So just kill them. If the Dongye Ghost Clan dares to wreak havoc on the human world, they should be prepared to be killed."

Qing Yan's tone was full of heroism.

Xiao Mu was still somewhat worried, "Predecessor, what if, after that, a being of the Curse Ghost Level crosses the realm for revenge?"

"No need to worry!"

Qing Yan waved his hand offhandedly, "If a Curse Ghost comes, there will be a stronger entity to suppress it. Even if the old monk fails, there is still the Human Emperor. With the Human Emperor around, you needn't worry about anything. No matter what Curse Ghost comes, it only has one path—death."

Upon hearing Qing Yan's words, which seemed to express extreme confidence in the power of the Human Emperor, Xiao Mu was secretly awed.

Just how powerful is this Human Emperor?

Judging from Qing Yan's tone, it seemed as if he could suppress any formidable ghost.

On reflection, it made sense that Qing Yan would ask the Human Emperor the moment he learned of the invasion by the Dongye Ghost Clan.

Could someone who was not powerful dare to utter such overbearing words as 'those who come will be killed'?

"If that's the case, I feel relieved."

Xiao Mu was fully reassured by Qing Yan's words.

Seeing the weight lifted from Xiao Mu's heart, Qing Yan faintly smiled and reassured, "In fact, you don't need to worry at all. Although the evil absurdity is powerful, our humanity is not weak. Otherwise, it would have invaded in large numbers long ago and turned the human world into the netherworld."

Xiao Mu nodded. These words did make sense. Otherwise, beings like King Qingshan, the King of Thunder, and Red Thread Woman, who have just stepped into the Third Realm for a short time, would not have been able to fend off the invasion themselves.

This level of strength is on par with the Blood Demon.

If a Curse Ghost or Corpse General came, they might not even have the ability to resist.

However, they have never heard of beings like Curse Ghost or Corpse General wreaking havoc in the human world for so long. Why is that?

Obviously, it is because there are beings as powerful as Qing Yan, Human Emperor, and Peach Ancestor secretly protecting the world.

If not, would it be hard for the Curse Ghost and Corpse General, with their level of power, to invade the human world and kill beings like him or King Qingshan and the King of Thunder?

After thinking about it, he curiously asked, "Master, I'm very curious about something and I'd like to ask you."

Please go ahead."

Qing Yan kindly replied

Xiao Mu continued, "I'm wondering how many beings of your level are secretly protecting our world. Do you know, Master?"

"To be honest... I'm not very sure."

Qing Yan shook his head at Xiao Mu's question, "What I do know is that there are only two or three people. One is the Human Emperor, one is the Divine Phoenix, and there is one whose name I do not know."

"Among these people, except for the Human Emperor who became a mighty spirit with unparalleled strength, the others have roughly the same level of power."

"The Divine Phoenix, however, is the phoenix that was transformed from the first divine bird phoenix painting in the world. Her strength is slightly stronger than mine."

Hearing that the Divine Phoenix was the phoenix that formed from the first divine bird phoenix painting, Xiao Mu was once again astounded. It seemed that after the World Mutation, any existence could attain Dao.

Just like the Peach Ancestor, who is actually a hundred-year-old peach tree.

The Peach ancestor's strength felt a bit weaker than Qing Yan's, but the difference was not that much. Unfortunately, he went to Kunlun Mountain, and no one knew why he went there.

After thinking about it, he continued, "I have always been puzzled about something. Human world's relevant departments have extremely powerful thermal weapons, like nuclear bombs, whose power can almost destroy a city, yet we have never seen them put into use. I wonder why?"

"Nuclear bombs?"

Qing Yan seemed to understand it, "Well, I know a little about this. It's because the three sides are mutually wary of each other."

"Mutually wary?"

Xiao Mu didn't understand again and looked at Qing Yan in confusion.

Qing Yan explained, "Yes, they are mutually wary—humans, zombies, and evil ghosts. Zombies are slightly stronger than evil ghosts, and humans have powerful thermal weapons which can kill zombies but cannot harm evil ghosts."

Xiao Mu understood the last part that thermal weaponry capable of killing zombies indeed cannot harm evil ghosts. After all, evil ghosts are incorporeal, able to pass through walls and burrow into the ground, and even hide in the so-called Underworld.

But Qing Yan continued, "Evil ghosts can easily find humans' thermal weapons. No matter how strictly they are guarded, can they defend against evil ghosts who can pass through walls, traverse realms, and transform into invisibility?"

"Evil ghosts can easily snatch thermal weapons from humans and use them against zombies and humans."

"Owing to this, humans have yet to use powerful thermal weapons and instead of using them, in order to prevent these thermal weapons from being stolen by evil ghosts and used against humanity, they have destroyed most of the powerful thermal weapons like nuclear bombs and only kept a small portion, heavily guarded by elite fighters, just in case."

"So, there's no need to worry about the deployment of thermal weapons."

Xiao Mu nodded in comprehension.

At last, he understood why the control of the relevant departments drastically decreased after the World Mutation.

"Young friend, this old monk has an impolite request to make. Could you help me with a small favor again?"

But Qing Yan spoke again.
