"What kind of person is this?"

Xiao Mu thought for a moment and had no impression of this elder, "Send the information back to the Ruins, let them investigate before we discuss further."

The memory in his Divine Sense halted there, and Xiao Mu stood up, changing his route to head towards the temple district in the Northeast.

He verified his identity, entered the temple district smoothly, and contacted Feng Rensong.

"Brother Feng, long time no see!"

"Brother Xiao, I have finished investigating the information you asked me about Ge Changkong. I will send it to your cellphone later, make sure to check it."

"Thank you, Brother Feng, could you please help me investigate two more things?"

"Please proceed, Brother Xiao."

"One is a person, the other is a stone." Xiao Mu sent the information about the short and stout old man he had just obtained, along with the grey-white stone he got from the Ge Family, to Feng Rensong.

"Brother Xiao, please wait for my message, I will have precise information for you soon."

"Thank you, Brother Feng!"

After bidding farewell to Feng Rensong, he left the temple district. A man in his thirties, in the Mid Yin God Realm, suddenly approached Xiao Mu from afar, "Brother Xiao, hello! I am Zhang Yun from the Great Tang Ruins."

"Hello, Brother Zhang!" Xiao Mu stopped walking.

"I just received a message from the Headquarters of the Alliance, instructing me to inform Brother Xiao. Divine Monarch Guobao has recently entered Twilight Forest Village. Brother Xiao must ensure his own safety, as you are one of the targets most concerned about from outside the human world. The Headquarters suspects that Divine Monarch Guobao's entry into Twilight Forest Village might include searching for your whereabouts."

"Divine Monarch Guobao?"

Xiao Mu was startled upon hearing this; he had once met Divine Monarch Guobao and had a long-standing grudge as he had thwarted his plans in the past.

Now that Divine Monarch Guobao had entered Twilight Forest Village, presumably looking for him, Xiao Mu didn't find it surprising at all.

"Please, Brother Zhang, report back to the Headquarters for me, tell them I have received the message. Thanks for the Headquarters' concern, and I will be careful of Divine Monarch Guobao."

Xiao Mu was very cautious. Divine Monarch Guobao was a True Gods stronger, although weakened due to injuries sustained during a Great War upon entering the human world.

But such a True God, even weakened, was still at least half a True God, far beyond what Xiao Mu could handle.

"Brother Xiao, just take care yourself. Also, the Alliance asked me to inform you that the Headquarters has also sent strong individuals to monitor Divine Monarch Guobao in Twilight Forest Village. Moreover, Divine Monarch Guobao's strength has not fully recovered yet, currently still in a half True God state."

"Brother Zhang, your information has been very helpful, thank you! May I ask which senior from the Headquarters has been deployed to monitor Divine Monarch Guobao in Twilight Forest Village?"

"It seems to be Senior Zhou Xuanmen." Zhang Yun didn't withhold any information from Xiao Mu, answering each question in detail.

"It's Senior Zhou, thank you for letting me know, Brother Zhang." Learning it was Zhou Xuanmen, Xiao Mu felt considerably relieved. The Alliance temporarily lacked a True God, but they had a few at half True God level, including Zhou Xuanmen.

Leaving the temple district, Xiao Mu decided to return to the Zhao Family first and continued with his thoughts for today's encounter at the Zhang Family.

The strange occurrences in Twilight Forest Village were numerous, making it difficult for Xiao Mu to investigate each case individually, especially since the villagers were secretive about their own unusual incidents. Xiao Mu couldn't possibly go to each household individually to inquire.

Just dealing with matters he learned about today at the Zhang Family had taken a great deal of effort. Frankly speaking, if every time was like this, Xiao Mu's energy would hardly be enough.

What he needed wasn't to investigate each incident individually, but rather to have the villagers come to him.

That would require some connections.

Based on today's events at the Zhang Family, Xiao Mu understood that when encountering peculiar incidents, the villagers liked to buy Dao Talismans to suppress evil spirits, hoping to keep their families safe.

Xiao Mu thought there was no harm in starting from the Dao Talismans; since every household dealing with strange incidents would buy them, if he could sell the Dao Talismans undercover, then these families might come to him actively, thereby establishing contact and facilitating easier interactions with the mutated beings from beyond.

Realizing this, Xiao Mu had a plan in mind.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Suddenly, rolling thunder erupted in front, causing Xiao Mu's heart to beat violently.

This thunder was clearly no ordinary thunder, but Punishment Thunder—each thunderclap affected even a being like Xiao Mu in the Divine Spirits realm.

"Could it be that Thunder God is activating the Tribulation Number here?"

Activating the Tribulation Number, like what Xiao Mu did to Chen Aijiao not long ago, involved mimicking the Thunder God Position to trigger the Calamity Qi above Chen Aijiao's head beforehand, causing a Thunder to strike her.

This was the ability of the Thunder God.

And now, with the Heavenly Dao entering the human world, the cycle of life, death, and Fate retribution had resumed its order. Whenever someone's Tribulation Number topped up, it would immediately bring about a Tribulation Calamity.

"Listening to this thunder, it seems many people are undergoing their Tribulation, suffering the Thunder Punishment. Hopefully, those enduring the Tribulation Calamity can withstand it."

"But, judging by the situation, it's unlikely given the strength of this Tribulation Calamity. It's too powerful, not something an ordinary Thunder God like me could activate."

Xiao Mu listened carefully to the sound of the Punishment Thunder, discerning carefully, only to realize that even if he were to mimic the Thunder God Position, he could not possibly trigger such a powerful Tribulation Number.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The thunder continued incessantly, alarming and stirring Xiao Mu's nerves. He couldn't help but look up in the direction from which the thunderclaps originated, only to see billows of black smoke rising into the air, mixed with a heavy scent of death.

The scent of death, the aura of Yin Souls, formed a dense black smoke, which appeared fierce and terrifying.
