"Daoist, be careful with your words, you'll bring disaster upon my whole family!"

The woman panicked upon hearing this and quickly mounted her electric bike, starting it up and preparing to leave.

The villagers of Twilight Forest Village had long experienced Mutated Beings offering to help with bizarre occurrences only to result in the death of family members. Ordinary people had lost all hope in Mutated Beings treating such afflictions.

I'm sorry, but to seek Information, I had no choice. What I'm doing is actually for your benefit. If I hadn't drawn out the Calamity Qi in advance, when it naturally erupted with no one to help you, you would have been very unlucky.

Xiao Mu felt a twinge of guilt, watching the woman about to ride away on her electric bike. Suddenly, he focused on the clouds above her head.

Under the Emperor Authority of the Heavenly Emperor, I easily transitioned my own position and mimicked the Thunder God Position.

Crack!

A sudden surge of Black Gas appeared on the woman's face as her Calamity Qi grew to its peak, and a Thunderbolt descended from the sky, aiming to strike her down.

"Ah~"

The woman was so frightened her face turned pale; being just a mortal, she reacted more quickly in thought than action. Seeing the Thunderbolt fall, about to strike her, she froze in terror, forgetting to dodge.

Whoosh!

At that moment, a hand suddenly reached out from behind her and, in a swift motion, caught the Thunder in its grip.

"Do not panic, Layman, I am here, and you shall not be harmed!"

Xiao Mu held the Thunder, speaking with a smile.

This Thunder was ordinary, but for Xiao Mu, who had entered the True Realm and could transform the intangible into the tangible, it was easy to hold something formless and weightless in his hand as if it were a substantial object.

"Thank you, Daoist. If it weren't for your rescue, I'm afraid I would have been injured!"

The woman was somewhat relieved and filled with gratitude toward Xiao Mu.

"Layman, you're too kind. It is our destiny to help if we can!"

Xiao Mu casually released the Thunder, which writhed like a snake for a moment before dissipating.

Now, having been struck by Thunder, the Calamity Qi on the woman's face had significantly weakened, and it would no longer influence her.

"Do you know, Layman, that when mortals are controlled by Divine Spirits, if they are not treated in time, they can die from Spiritual exhaustion within a year at most. The longer it is delayed, the less likely they are to be healed?"

The woman's face turned stark white upon hearing this, caught in a struggle within herself. At first, she was indecisive, but thinking of Xiao Mu's aid, she finally loosened her stance, "Daoist, back in our village, many people have sought the help of Mutated Beings to heal them in times of strange events, but in the end, they all met with accidents. Are you confident that you can actually heal people?"

Xiao Mu smiled confidently, then laughed lightly, "Meeting with accidents, that's because the strength of those trying to heal was too low. As far as I know, isn't the strongest person in Twilight Forest Village only at the Early Divine Spirit Realm? They don't even have a position. Isn't it normal that they can't save anyone against a Divine Spirit Realm expert with a position?"

The woman looked at Xiao Mu with surprise, as his words seemed grandiose. With a single statement, he appeared to disregard all the Mutated Beings in the entire Twilight Forest Village, which left her astounded. In reality, this was the first time she had ever encountered such a character.

"And what about you?" There was a hint of disbelief in the woman's heart.

"Me? I am at the mid-stage of the Divine Spirit Realm, possessing a Divine Spirits position. In fact, not long ago, I encountered an enemy stronger than the strongest in Twilight Forest Village..."

Xiao Mu replied with a smile, aware that the woman did not understand what a Divine Spirits position and the mid-stage of the Divine Spirit Realm meant. He deliberately used a comparative approach to explain.

"And then?" The woman almost subconsciously pressed for more.

"That person wanted to kill me, but ended up being killed by me in under three seconds," Xiao Mu responded with a nonchalant smile.

"Daoist, you are so strong!"

The woman exclaimed in surprise, falling into contemplation again. After about half a minute, she looked up at Xiao Mu again, uncertainly, "Daoist, can you guarantee you can heal the afflicted?"

"Rest assured, Layman, no matter what kind of demons or ghosts, once they face me, they only have one path—death!" Xiao Mu spoke with conviction, and as he talked, he suddenly displayed his power, revealing a giant figure of a city god above his head.

Thump!

Overwhelmed by the divine presence of the city god, the woman's knees buckled, and she collapsed to the ground as her grip loosened and the electric bike slowly tipped over.

"Layman, I'm sorry, I accidentally showed my power. Are you alright?"

Xiao Mu casually supported the electric bike with one hand and helped the woman up with the other, while at the same time retracting the city god position.

"Daoist... You're a city god!"

The woman, having regained her composure, vividly remembered the giant figure of the city god that had just appeared and stared wide-eyed in shock.

"Embarrassed, I accidentally showed a bit of strength, Layman. I am glad you're unharmed!"

Xiao Mu feigned modesty.

However, this demeanor only made the woman trust him more, "Daoist is actually a city god, with your help, there is hope for my husband. Please, come with me!"

"Layman, lead the way!"

A faint smile flickered in Xiao Mu's eyes, knowing that the task was already half-accomplished.

"Can you keep up, Daoist?"

The woman boarded her electric bike, which could only carry one person, and turned back to look at Xiao Mu.

"Proceed as you wish, Layman; I won't be affected." Xiao Mu responded calmly, giving the woman a respectful nod.

"Since that's the case, I shall not stand on ceremony. Please follow me, Daoist!"

Putt-putt-putt!

The woman rode on her electric bike and set off, while Xiao Mu unfolded his movement techniques, leisurely keeping pace beside her.

Along the way, Xiao Mu took the opportunity to seek Information from the woman.

Her name was Chen Aijiao, living at number 35, team four in Twilight Forest Village, in the Southwest direction. Her husband, Zhang Jianxing, was a construction worker, and three months ago, he suddenly experienced a bizarre affliction.
