Li Qi? Li Qi brought her niece to see me?

So, this is the memory I have lost. Li Jing is Li Qi's niece.

Xiao Mu's mind quickly calmed down, and he said with composure, "If Layman Tao had not mentioned Li Qi's niece, I almost forgot. The situation with Li Qi's niece is quite complicated, I may need to diagnose her again. Does Layman Tao know where Li Qi's niece lives?"

Tao Zhi was immediately touched and exclaimed, "Daoist Xiao Mu is truly compassionate. Li Qi's home is at No. 13 Ciyue Road, North Village. Would you like me to take you there?"

"No need, thank you, Layman Tao. I can quickly get there using my Escape Art; it won't be necessary to trouble you." Xiao Mu's face carried a smile, not showing the slightest hint of abnormality.

"Daoist Xiao Mu is really impressive. You Mutated Beings are amazing, capable of flying and burrowing, going wherever you want." Tao Zhi's tone was filled with envy, "I have a nephew who is also a Mutated Being, but his strength definitely isn't as great as Daoist Xiao Mu's."

"Mutated Beings who are willing to work hard at Cultivation will eventually be able to enhance their strength." Xiao Mu smiled.

Once Tao Zhi left, Xiao Mu deployed his Earth Escape Technique and headed to No. 13 Ciyue Road, North Village. He planned to investigate Li Jing's situation, to see if anything unusual had happened to her.

Being under the manipulation of the Lord of the Nether River, Li Jing's current situation must be dire. Yet, Xiao Mu was most concerned about what exactly that shadow on Li Jing was all about.

He had a hunch that the origin of the shadow on Li Jing was beyond imagination, possibly involving an existence even more powerful than the Lord of the Nether River.

"This is the Li family's home."

Near No. 13 Ciyue Road, Xiao Mu observed the ordinary bungalow from a distance, carefully watching for a period before determining there was no danger and then entering the room to search.

The room was tidy, not much stuff, but everything was neatly arranged and placed in its proper location.

The only issue was that no one had cleaned it in the last few days, so there was a thin layer of dust on the tables and floor.

Xiao Mu first checked the living room. The living room was plain, other than a few tables, chairs, a sofa, there were common household appliances such as a refrigerator, a washing machine, and a small TV.

Then Xiao Mu checked the bedrooms. The bedrooms were even simpler; the larger one was uninhabited, used for storing miscellaneous items, while the smaller one contained a bed, a desk, a wardrobe, and a few ordinary storage boxes.

Xiao Mu took a casual glance. Clothes were hanging on a rack, and aside from the bedding, a few clothes were scattered on the bed.

"This is Li Jing's home; it seems nothing special. Judging from the state of the room, she seems to have been abducted by the Lord of the Nether River and has not yet returned."

Xiao Mu's expression gradually turned serious. The situation at Li Jing's home made him realize that an accident had befallen her, and it was very likely that she had fallen into the hands of the Lord of the Nether River.

"It seems that the shadow on Li Jing's body really might involve something significant; otherwise, why would it alarm the Lord of the Nether River?"

"Who is related to the shadow? Could it be..."

Xiao Mu couldn't ascertain who exactly the shadow on Li Jing's body was related to, but suddenly a thought flashed through his mind, leading him to think of a formidable individual.

"It really might be possible that it's related to that person. I must find a way to locate Li Jing next."

Xiao Mu's eyes gradually took on a determined look, and he then directly exited Li Jing's room.

"Hmm, someone is trying to contact me through Divine Sense."

Just as Xiao Mu had left the Li family's home, he felt his Divine Sense tremble; someone was trying to establish contact with him through Divine Sense.

Immediately performing the Earth Escape Technique and the Changeable Divine Technique, he burrowed into the ground and stopped after reaching a certain depth underground. His eyes closed slightly.

His Divine Sense immediately shifted, and the next moment, he opened his eyes using Divine Sense.

"Zheng Yunlei pays his respects to Brother Xiao Mu!"

In front of Xiao Mu's Divine Sense, a man who looked in his early twenties, with a gentle demeanor, bowed to Xiao Mu as a greeting.

"Brother Zheng, hello! Please, no need for formalities."

Xiao Mu controlled Divine Sense to nod at the man, taking the opportunity to carefully observe Zheng Yunlei.

Zheng Yunlei was at the late stage of the Divine Spirits Realm. His strength was not high, but not low either. His cultivation was a bit lacking, exuding the aura of a Kitchen God.

"Brother Xiao Mu." Zheng Yunlei smiled and introduced himself, "Let me introduce myself. I am the leader of Resource Gathering Group A of the Logistics Department Headquarters. The Headquarters has sent me to contact Brother Xiao Mu and to give you the 'One-stroke life and death' cultivation method."

As he spoke, Zheng Yunlei gestured towards the altar table, and Xiao Mu controlled Divine Sense to look down at the altar table, promptly seeing the Secret Manual 'One-stroke life and death' that had been placed there in advance.

"Thank you, Brother Zheng. This is exactly what I need." Xiao Mu thanked Zheng Yunlei, and with a wave of his hand, the Incense Fire surged, concealing his actions as he took the opportunity to take the 'One-stroke life and death' manual.

Immediately afterward, the Incense Fire surged again, and in its cover, Xiao Mu placed the Netherlord Order on the table, speaking, "This Netherlord Order is my contribution to the Headquarters, please inspect it, Brother Zheng."

"Thank you, Brother Xiao Mu." As Zheng Yunlei thanked him, he approached the altar table, picking up the Netherlord Order to check it.

In fact, he had only glanced at it and already confirmed the authenticity of the Netherlord Order. Putting away the Netherlord Order, he said to Xiao Mu, "Brother Xiao Mu, if you have more Treasures like this in the future, you can contact me directly. As long as Brother Xiao Mu can provide Treasures of sufficient value, I will do everything I can to acquire whatever you wish for."
