Indeed, I knew it. Others might not know what's going on, but Brother Mu definitely does.
Li Gujian had an unsurprised look on his face, fully expecting Xiao Mu to guess the outcome correctly.
"Could it be?"
Zhao Jingyan was somewhat incredulous, "The tracking method of the Village Protection Team, which I specially studied, is to lock on through spiritual consciousness. No matter where the Mutated Being goes, even if they step into another space, they can't escape the lock of spiritual consciousness. How could Lan Yan's information just disappear?"
Xiao Mu smiled without saying a word, immediately giving off an unfathomable aura.
Is Brother Mu telling me to explain to Brother Zhao?
Realizing Xiao Mu's intentions from the smile on his face, Li Gujian turned to Zhao Jingyan, "Brother Zhao, Brother Mu's guess is right."
"Spiritual consciousness lock can also fail?"
Zhao Jingyan frowned uneasily.
"This... exactly why this has happened, I cannot explain clearly, but Brother Mu definitely knows."
Unable to answer, Li Gujian quickly looked towards Xiao Mu, feeling certain he knew.
"Actually, it's quite simple. Lan Yan's whereabouts were interfered with by some powerful force. That's why you cannot detect him," Xiao Mu explained calmly, and at the same time thought of Chaos Power and Hongmeng Power.
These two supreme powers are extremely strong, and either one could hide Lan Yan's whereabouts.
"Powerful force? Life and death? Sacred? Destruction? Creation? Five Elements? Yin and Yang?" Li Gujian quickly listed several examples but felt none were quite right.
"It is a power stronger than these, like Hongmeng Power," Xiao Mu said with a smile, giving an example.
"Hongmeng Power? Supreme Power?"
"Is there really such a power?"
Li Gujian and Zhao Jingyan were both stunned. They looked at each other, unable to believe it. This kind of Supreme Power was, in their eyes, nothing but legend, never seen before, making it hard for both of them to believe that it was real.
"Let me remind you."
Xiao Mu sat quietly, with a calm expression that showed no change, making it seem like he was talking about something trivial in front of Li Gujian and Zhao Jingyan, "Hongmeng Power can obscure everything. If Lan Yan's whereabouts are hidden by this power, then even if he stands right in front of you, or sits beside you, you would not be able to see him or detect him."
"Ah~"
Zhao Jingyan and Li Gujian exclaimed in shock at the same time, looking around nervously, having been frightened by the terrifying might of the Hongmeng Power.
"Don't worry, Lan Yan isn't here. Although Hongmeng Power can conceal everything, it can't escape my perception," Xiao Mu reassured Zhao Jingyan and Li Gujian subtly.
In an instant, the room fell silent, with Zhao Jingyan and Li Gujian almost holding their breath in unison.
Even Hongmeng Power cannot escape his senses; just how powerful is Brother Mu?
Strangely, both of them subconsciously did not doubt Xiao Mu's words and instinctively took them as truth.
"Brother Mu, may I report the information that Lan Yan's whereabouts were obscured by Supreme Power to the Village Protection Team?" Li Gujian eventually regained his composure and asked Xiao Mu respectfully.
"Yes."
Xiao Mu nodded slightly.
"Then... may I mention the Hongmeng Power?" Li Gujian asked apprehensively.
"Yes, as long as you don't mention me."
"Thank you, Brother Mu!" Li Gujian breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly standing up and giving Xiao Mu a formal bow.
This piece of information, once reported back to the Village Protection Team, counted as a merit and could be exchanged for many energy fruits. Combined with the previous discovery that Yu Qin and Lan Yan were spies, the two merits together would be enough to obtain the Energy Fruit needed for breaking through to the Mid Yin God Realm.
"I would like to inquire about some matters with the two of you."
Xiao Mu gestured for Li Gujian to sit, and after Li Gujian settled down, he began to speak unhurriedly.
"Please speak, Brother Mu. Whatever it is, I will tell you everything I know," Li Gujian said, immediately standing up again with great solemnity.
"Sit down, Brother Li is too polite. Please take a seat!" Feeling the respect from Li Gujian, Xiao Mu once again motioned for him to sit down.
Just as Li Gujian sat down, Zhao Jingyan also promptly offered, "What would Brother Mu like to know? If Xiao Li doesn't know, you can ask me. Anything I know, I will certainly tell Brother Mu."
"Brother Zhao, Brother Li, you're both too kind."
Xiao Mu showed a slight smile. "But I won't have you talk for nothing. As a reward, I will give you an object like this to one of you two," he said while reaching his hand into the Earth Seal Space.
Zhao Jingyan and Li Gujian hurriedly showed humility, "Brother Mu is truly generous. It's just a question among acquaintances, please don't talk about any reward, else it would be too formal."
At this moment, Xiao Mu had already, with a smile, taken his hand out of the Earth Seal Space and carelessly placed an object in the middle of the three, in front of Zhao Jingyan and Li Gujian.
"Is this... the treasure of Divine Spirits?"
Zhao Jingyan's whole body trembled, the faintly radiating Divine Power from the Door God Command immediately made him sense that this was a treasure of the Divine Spirits.
"No, Brother Zhao, you are mistaken. This is the Divine Spirits' Command Token?" Li Gujian's guess was a bit more accurate than Zhao Jingyan's, and his voice trembled as he spoke.
"This is the Door God Command. Using it, one can become a door god."
Xiao Mu's voice was very calm, but before he had finished speaking, he noticed that Zhao Jingyan and Li Gujian's breathing had become heavy, like two large bellows, their eyes shining like lanterns in the darkness.
