"What... What have you done to me?"

Qian Xu was injured, the rapid fall from the Earth Escape Technique caused an impact his now mortal body could not bear. Staring at the pudgy man and the long-faced man with a beard, he panicked.

Reincarnation!

The sound of reincarnation echoed once again from the sky. For the second time, the long-faced bearded man pushed a strand of reincarnation force toward Qian Xu, locking onto him, erasing the memories of his recent experiences.

Bang!

The pudgy man lifted his massive, muddy, foul-smelling foot and stomped on Qian Xu's head.

Xiao Mu suddenly felt something and couldn't help closing his eyes; his Divine Sense instantly transferred, and the next second, he was in Zhao Jingyan's home, in the room where his divine effigy was located.

"Greetings, Brother Mu, I apologize for disturbing you at this time."

"Brother Mu, we're sorry to disturb you now, but there has been a serious incident with the Village Protection Team."

Li Gujian and Zhu Ping stood in front of Xiao Mu's divine effigy, apparently having just finished saluting the effigy, straightening up just moments ago.

"No need to hurry, tell me slowly, what happened?" Xiao Mu soothed Zhu Li, the two men, but he could already sense that something extraordinary had occurred from their emotions.

"It's..."

Zhu Li both wanted to speak at the same time, stepping forward, only to realize the other was speaking as well, and stopped simultaneously.

"Xiao Li, let me do the talking."

Zhu Ping looked at Li Gujian.

"Old Zhu, you might not explain it as clearly as I can," Li Gujian said, somewhat unwillingly.

"Then you tell it?"

Zhu Ping stepped back, gesturing for Li Gujian to proceed.

"You go ahead," Li Gujian retreated even faster.

Zhu Ping glanced at Li Gujian with a look that said he had known Li would react this way and then bowed to Xiao Mu's divine effigy, "Brother Mu, here's the situation. Tonight, the Village Protection Team was attacked, and all the personnel stationed there are dead, including the newly appointed captain, Qian Xu."

The Village Protection Team attacked?

Xiao Mu was surprised by the news. The Mutant Beings in the Village Protection Team weren't that strong, but extraterrestrial Mutant Beings usually didn't dare to attack them, fearing that their movements would be exposed and targeted by the Mutant Beings from the Ruins of Great Tang.

"Do you know who did it?"

"No clues were left behind. The attacker's methods were very strange; they not only sealed off the scene, preventing the distress information from spreading, but also erased all traces afterward, leaving us with no way to investigate." Zhu Ping shook his head, deep concern showing on his face when he said this.

Erase all traces, no way to investigate?

Upon hearing this, Xiao Mu immediately thought of several possibilities. There were many ways to erase traces, and of those he knew, there were several, including the Power of Destiny, Creation Power, Chaos Power, Hongmeng Power, and the reincarnation force he had encountered not long before.

Could it be the reincarnation force?

Xiao Mu's first thought was the reincarnation force. Among the powers able to erase all traces, so far, the only ones known to have appeared in Twilight Forest Village were Creation Power and reincarnation force.

He had already obtained the Creation Power, so the most likely remaining was the reincarnation force.

"I am aware now, what do you plan to do?"

Xiao Mu, controlling his divine effigy, waved his hand nonchalantly without revealing his speculation. After all, the so-called reincarnation force was just his guess, and he had not yet confirmed its truth.

"Captain Yu has notified us to rush to the scene and investigate the truth of yesterday's attack. We hope to receive assistance from Brother Mu." Zhu Ping made his request.

"I can help you with this matter."

Xiao Mu pondered for a moment, then offered his assistance, "But you will also have to do something for me."

"Please speak, Brother Mu."

Zhu Ping was overjoyed.

Xiao Mu had agreed, which meant that Zhu's request for assistance would be much easier to handle.

"For the moment, I haven't decided on what I need from you, but I will tell you once I have thought it through." Xiao Mu pondered for a moment, not immediately stating his demand.

In truth, there were many things he hadn't yet decided on.

For instance, he needed to find information about the Lord of Bai's Mansion, but exactly which information related to the Lord should he search for? Xiao Mu felt that his previous request to find information about the Lord was too vague, lacking focus, which would greatly increase the difficulty of finding valuable information.

This was the same for the information about Thunder God Qing Jie he wanted to find. There was too much information related to Qing Jie in Twilight Forest Village, and he couldn't possibly want every piece.

"Brother Mu, you may present your demands at any time, as long as I, Zhu Ping, can fulfill them, I will not hesitate," Zhu Ping hurriedly made his promise, as if he feared Xiao Mu might suddenly change his mind.

"You may go now. Once you reach the Village Protection Team's station, if you need to, contact me through a strand of hair."

The blue smoke in front of Xiao Mu's divine effigy gradually dispersed, leaving only a lingering voice emanating from the effigy.

Nonetheless, Zhu Ping and Li Gujian earnestly thanked Xiao Mu's divine effigy and then walked out of his room to head toward the Village Protection Team.

The two used their Escape Art techniques on their way to the Village Protection Team's station, arriving in less than half an hour.

The once thriving Village Protection Team was now transformed, emanating a dead silence filled with Yin Qi, and the air was thick with the oppressive Death Qi.

There weren't many Mutant Beings who died on the Village Protection Team, but the fact that all the Mutant Beings who had stayed behind were killed overnight, without a single survivor, was a heavy blow to every surviving member of the Village Protection Team.

As they moved along, people were collecting Corpse, lifting the bodies of the dead Mutant Beings to the square where they usually gathered.
