Zhu Ping took out a small piece of Creation Stone and placed it in the middle of the four people.

"What kind of stone is this?" Zhao Jingyan asked curiously as he looked at the Creation Stone, unaware of its origins and amazed by its peculiar effects, "Old Zhu, Xiao Li, can this stone really conceal a person's aura?"

Li Gujian immediately picked up the stone, placed it on himself, and white Creation Qi spilled out, quickly enveloping his entire body, and Li Gujian's presence vanished on the spot.

"What a curious stone, Xiao Li, Old Zhu, what is this stone?"

Zhao Jingyan clicked his tongue in wonder, reaching out to take the Creation Stone from Li Gujian's hand, only to find he didn't recognize the origin of the stone.

"I don't know," Zhu Ping shook his head.

"I don't know either," Li Gujian also shook his head but then glanced at Xiao Mu, "Brother Mu, you must know its origin?"

Zhao Jingyan and Zhu Ping both looked at Xiao Mu full of expectation.

"This is a Creation Stone, it contains a small amount of Creation Power within it, capable of causing Creation, concealing a person's aura," Xiao Mu casually explained the origins of the Creation Stone.

Creation?

Zhao Jingyan, Li Gujian, and Zhu Ping were all stunned. This very ordinary and unremarkable white stone was actually a Creation Stone, related to the Creation Heavenly King?

"Xiao Li, Old Zhu, what else did you discover within the spire?"

The appearance of the Creation Stone piqued Zhao Jingyan's interest in the spire, making him inquire about the situation inside the spire.

Involving the Creation Stone, the interior of the spire was certainly no trivial matter.

Li Gujian calmly replied, "We discovered Qu Jingyi, who seems to have died a long time ago, unfortunately, we didn't catch the strong foreigner hidden behind the spire."

Although Zhu Ping did not speak, his face showed regret, clearly also disappointed at not catching the powerful stranger behind the spire.

"What a pity!"

Zhao Jingyan felt extraordinary regret, shaking his head, "The strong person behind the spire actually escaped, that person must be very strong."

Zhu Ping glanced at Xiao Mu and added, "If only Brother Mu had been there at that time, we might not have let the powerful stranger behind the spire escape, unfortunately, there were too many people from the Village Protection Team, and we could not ask for Brother Mu's help."

"What a pity!"

Zhao Jingyan lamented again. He and Zhu Ping shared a similar thought; with Xiao Mu's help, the powerful stranger behind the spire definitely wouldn't have escaped.

"Have you investigated the identity and whereabouts of the foreigner behind the spire?" Zhao Jingyan pressed on.

"Not yet," Zhu Ping shook his head.

Li Gujian added, "We are still investigating, hoping to clear things up as soon as possible. Otherwise, such a person remaining in the village will definitely continue to bring disaster."

"There's no need to investigate anymore," Xiao Mu couldn't hold back and took over the conversation upon hearing this.

Zhao Jingyan, Zhu Ping, and Li Gujian all turned their heads to look at Xiao Mu, their faces full of curiosity.

Xiao Mu slowly explained, "I did the spire thing, and the strong person behind it was the Two-horned King."

"The thing with the spire was done by Brother Mu?" Zhu Ping was incredulous.

"The powerful stranger behind the spire was the Two-horned King?" Li Gujian gaped.

"Brother Mu actually encountered the Two-horned King?" Zhao Jingyan couldn't believe what he was hearing.

Xiao Mu did not answer the question but directly took out the corpse of the Two-horned King from the Earth Seal Space and threw it onto the floor with a thud.

Zhu Ping was so startled that he subconsciously stepped back, his eyes wide, "This... this is the Two-horned King?"

Li Gujian exclaimed, "It's really the Two-horned King?"

Zhao Jingyan exclaimed, "Brother Mu killed the Two-horned King?"

The corpse of the Two-horned King caused all three to exclaim in shock; none of them expected that Xiao Mu would have killed the Two-horned King in such a short time.

Next, the three of them carefully examined the corpse of the Two-horned King, and quickly recognized it as the true Two-horned King based on the information they had.

Li Gujian excitedly requested, "Brother Mu, may I take this corpse to the Village Protection Team to ask for credit?"

"Sure!"

Xiao Mu nodded lightly, not refusing Li Gujian's request, "You can trade it for information."

"Thank you, Brother Mu!" Li Gujian gratefully rushed to Xiao Mu's insistence. This corpse could at least let him exchange for a Divine Powers Secret Manual or Power Fruits to help him advance from the Mid Yin God Realm to a later stage.

Zhao Jingyan envied Li Gujian's luck. Zhu Ping regretted that Li Gujian had acted first and hadn't been the one to propose exchanging information with Xiao Mu for the Two-horned King's corpse.

"Additionally, I also have a Mountain God position which you can exchange information for."

As Xiao Mu spoke, he calmly placed the Mountain God Token he had received from Ge Changkong in front of himself.

Resembling a cartoonish mini-mountain, the Mountain God Token in front of Zhao Jingyan, Zhu Ping, and Li Gujian emitted a faint green light that dazzled their eyes and quickened their breaths.

"The Mountain God Token! Haha! Brother Mu, I want the Mountain God Token."

Of the three, Zhu Ping was the most excited by far. Seeing the Mountain God Token almost made him jump up from the ground in his excitement.

Alas!

Zhao Jingyan internally sighed in regret, giving the Mountain God Token several longing glances, truly coveting this Command Token of the Yin Gods.

However, he had already merged with the door god position, and even if he had been given the Mountain God Token, he wouldn't have been able to use it.

Li Gujian glanced back and forth between the Two-horned King's corpse and the Mountain God Token, his face displaying a struggle to decide.

Whether it was the Two-horned King's corpse or the Mountain God Token, he wanted both, yet it was impossible to have them both.

"Old Zhu, you're getting a bargain!"

Li Gujian watched Zhu Ping with a touch of unwillingness.

"Haha!" Zhu Ping was in high spirits and laughed heartily, patting Li Gujian on the shoulder, "You and I are brothers; what I have, you'll eventually have too. If not, we'll help each other gather information later."

"Alright, let's discuss what information everyone has collected," Xiao Mu suddenly interrupted Zhu Ping and Li Gujian.

The room fell silent as Zhu Ping, Li Gujian, and Zhao Jingyan all turned to look at Xiao Mu.

"Xiao Li, you speak."

Zhu Ping gestured to Li Gujian, as the two of them had already teamed up and compiled their research.

Li Gujian didn't hesitate, and said to Xiao Mu, "Brother Mu, Old Zhu and I specifically looked up information on Mutated Beings from beyond the heavens and Qing Jie's Thunder God this morning."

"Most of the information on Qing Jie's Thunder God is outdated, and we've not found anything of value yet. However, regarding the Mutated Beings from beyond, we've discovered some useful information."

As he spoke, Li Gujian's hand moved through the air, using Power to sketch out a figure.

Gradually, an image of a short and portly elderly figure took shape in the air, appearing to be about seventy years old, his face aglow with a red light.

"Duanmu Gong!"

Xiao Mu immediately recognized the person Li Gujian had sketched out.

"Brother Mu also knows of this man?" Li Gujian was surprised, and Zhu Ping felt the same.

Neither of them had expected Xiao Mu to know the individual they had just uncovered in their research.

"I only know of his identity; I'm completely unaware of any other details about him. Continue, please," Xiao Mu waved his hand, signaling for Li Gujian to keep going.

Li Gujian continued, "According to records from the Village Protection Team, Duanmu Gong arrived at Twilight Forest Village roughly a year and a half ago."

"This person is a clear Mutated Being. Yu Jiasheng, the leader of our Village Protection Team, had seen him but never engaged in combat."

"According to Leader Yu, Duanmu Gong's strength far exceeds his own, and he might have reached or even surpassed the Peak of the Divine Spirit Realm."

Xiao Mu nodded, and Li Gujian added, "Duanmu Gong has been relatively friendly to Twilight Forest Village, at least he hasn't initiated any battles. However, his whereabouts are mysterious; he disappeared after arriving at Twilight Forest Village."

"Leader Yu once conducted an investigation but couldn't find any trace of him."

"After this incident with the Two-horned King, we suspect that like the King, he might have used Creation Power to conceal his whereabouts."

Xiao Mu nodded again, but didn't say much more.

Li Gujian's speculation about Duanmu Gong's method of hiding was reasonable, but not necessarily correct.

There are many ways to hide one's trail, and Duanmu Gong might not have been relying on Creation Power.

Li Gujian went on to say, "During our investigation, we did find something. Please take a look, Brother Mu, this is something we discovered while investigating Duanmu Gong half a year ago."

While speaking, Li Gujian took out a small bottle filled with Spirituality, which contained a droplet of deep and mysterious black liquid that seemed alive like a being with life force.

The black liquid twisted wildly within the small bottle, as if a hysterical person was trapped inside, restless and agitated, with the essence of Reincarnation emanating from it.
