Zhu Li and Li Gujian occasionally ran into familiar mutated beings, but most people were not in the mood to speak, and merely nodded upon meeting.

"Who exactly attacked the Village Protection Team?"

"Damn it, I don't want to know who it was, because even if it costs me my life, I will not let the murderer go."

"Shut up. Even Captain Qian was killed. With your little ability, can you compare to Captain Qian? Even if you found out who the killer was, it would only be a suicide mission!"

Murmurs still spread, and last night's attack had indeed caused a stir among the mutated beings of the Village Protection Team.

"Old Zhu, Xiao Li, you guys came too?"

A mutated being from the Yin God Realm, carrying an alien-shaped ancient sword, came from the opposite direction and met Zhu Ping and Li Gujian face to face.

"Old Jiang, have you found out what happened?"

Li Gujian, more familiar with Old Jiang, hastened to speak.

"No way to check!"

Old Jiang shook his head, a look of dejection on his face, "All information has been erased, even the information about the killings. Every victim's body didn't even leave a trace."

"Not even a trace?"

Zhu Ping glared, stepping out from behind Li Gujian.

"You guys go see Leader Yu first. He's arranging for personnel to investigate. Maybe you could be of help." Old Jiang said as he walked away.

Zhu Ping and Li Gujian continued toward the gathering point of the Village Protection Team, soon reaching the leader, Yu Jiasheng.

Yu Jiasheng looked haggard, with wisps of Yin Qi emanating from his body, clearly deeply affected.

"Leader, good to see you!"

"Greetings, Leader!"

Li Gujian and Zhu Ping bowed in unison to Yu Jiasheng.

"Good, you've come too!"

Yu Jiasheng's gaze lingered briefly on both men, then nodded slightly.

"Leader, have any clues been found?" Zhu Ping asked.

"Not yet. The murderer's methods are very cunning, not only did they kill without leaving a trace, but they also left no residual scent of power."

Yu Jiasheng gently shook his head, then let out a long, helpless sigh.

As the leader of the Village Protection Team, he was clearly deeply affected by such a severe attack on the team.

"Leader, please rest assured, Old Li and I will definitely find the clues," Li Gujian clenched his teeth and suddenly spoke with determination.

Yu Jiasheng's condition made him feel distressed. After all, he was also a member of the Village Protection Team. Seeing the team suffering such a heavy blow, coupled with the death of many companions including acquaintances, brought him immense pain.

"You two?"

Yu Jiasheng looked at Li Gujian and then at Zhu Ping.

Then, a bitter smile appeared on his face, "Well, you two also take a look. It would be best if you find clues, but if not… if not…"

His voice trailed off as he spoke.

It wasn't that he didn't trust Li Gujian and Zhu Ping, but the bizarre circumstances of the deaths of the Village Protection Team members made it extremely difficult to find clues.

Nevertheless, with Xiao Li's heartfelt determination, he ultimately still needed to encourage them, not discourage them.

"Leader, rest assured, we will definitely find clues about the murderer. Right, Old Zhu?"

Li Gujian raised his right hand vigorously, turning his head to look at Zhu Ping for affirmation.

"Exactly, leader rest assured. The task of finding clues, leave it to Old Zhu and Xiao Li."

Zhu Ping nodded earnestly.

"Good, that's the spirit, you two go take a look."

Yu Jiasheng waved his hand to signal them to inspect the site, looking quite gratified.

The situation of the Village Protection Team was not optimistic, but having members like Li Gujian and Zhu Ping still satisfied him.

Bidding farewell to Yu Jiasheng, Li Gujian and Zhu Ping walked away together to check on the bodies.

Most of the bodies had already been moved to the gathering point, but some had not been moved, intentionally left in their original state, like the body of Qian Xu, Captain of the Village Protection Team, and the bodies of the guards.

Zhu Ping and Li Gujian first examined the corpse of Captain Qian Xu. Qian Xu's death seemed peaceful, as if nothing had happened at all.

"Don't bother looking anymore. If there were any clues to be found, we'd have discovered them by now."

A mutated being named Chen Jiang came over and muttered quietly to them. He clearly meant no harm; he simply didn't want to see Li Gujian and Zhu Ping waste their efforts.

He continued, "There are no traces of power left on the captain's body. The method used by his killer is extremely strange. Even if we were to search his soul, we find no memories related to the attack in the remnants of his consciousness."

"The killer's method is too terrifying, beyond our comprehension. In my opinion, only by seeking help from the Alliance Headquarters might we have a chance to uncover what kind of power the killer used."

Another mutated being, Zheng Shui, expressed his concern on his face.

Zhu Ping looked at Li Gujian and Li Gujian returned his gaze. They both nodded subconsciously, and then Zhu Ping approached Qian Xu's corpse to investigate.

Ah!

Chen Jiang shook his head, sighed, and walked away with Zheng Shui.

Zhu Ping sent a strand of divine sense into Qian Xu's corpse to investigate, but unsurprisingly, discovered nothing.

Li Gujian stood behind Zhu Ping, shaking his head. He had anticipated Zhu Ping's results, and thus had no intention of personally investigating the corpse from the start.

Zhu Ping stepped back and wound a lock of hair given to him by Xiao Mu around his finger and sent his divine sense to communicate with Xiao Mu.

Xiao Mu, who was meditating in his shop selling Dao Talismans, immediately sensed the communication and took out his Creation Axe in one swift motion.

A flash of white light, and a mirror appeared in front of Xiao Mu. The mirror immediately reflected the images near Zhu Ping.

"Brother Mu, this is Captain Qian Xu of the Village Protection Team. Please help us determine the cause of Captain Qian Xu's death."

Sensing Xiao Mu's presence, Zhu Ping directly communicated with him using divine sense.

"I understand!"

Xiao Mu's response appeared within Zhu Ping's divine sense. At the same time, Xiao Mu began to investigate the scene through the mirror created by the Creation Light.

He opened his Spiritual Eye, first looking at Qian Xu's corpse.

It was impossible for Qian Xu to have died suddenly without any injuries or residual external energy; Xiao Mu knew there was an issue the moment he saw the corpse.

Immediately, he used his Spiritual Eye to examine it.

Two beams of Spiritual Light shot from Xiao Mu's eyes, passing through the ancient mirror, and landed on Qian Xu's corpse.

The dead body of Qian Xu, offering no resistance, was seen through instantly under the gaze of Xiao Mu's Spiritual Eye.

"Is there really no information left?"

After a thorough investigation, Xiao Mu deactivated his Spiritual Eye, and the spiritual light in his eyes vanished.

The results were both as he expected and beyond his expectations.

Resolutely, Xiao Mu wielded his Creation Axe again and waved it through the mirror towards Qian Xu's corpse.

Crack!

Creation's White Light passed through the mirror, and the next moment, it struck Qian Xu's corpse.

A Creation White Light, invisible to the naked eye at the scene, appeared on the surface of Qian Xu's body, flickering faintly along with a vibrating hum, and a circle of blue-black ripples started to form around Qian Xu's corpse.

Reincarnation force, indeed it was the reincarnation force!

Xiao Mu had once found similar forces within himself when he was schemed against by reincarnation forces.

Uncertain of the strength of the person who left behind the reincarnation force, if they were too powerful, then the Creation Axe might not be able to break through the suppression of the reincarnation force to reveal what had happened at that time.

Hopefully, the individual who left behind the reincarnation force was weak enough…

With that thought, Xiao Mu swung his Creation Axe at the blue-black ripples.

Buzz!

Creation's White Light burst out, directly striking the blue-black ripples and causing a collision.

The blue-black ripples were suddenly scattered, and the Creation's White Light converged, refracting a cluster of images on the corpse of Qian Xu.

The images were initially blurry but quickly became clear.

"Who are you people from beyond?" yelled Qian Xu, radiating with Five-color Divine Light, angrily charging towards the front.

Opposite him, in the air and on the ground, there were distinctly the figures of a long-faced bearded man and a chubby man.
