Snap!

A patch of greenish-black brilliance left a massive green bruise on the chest of the black chimpanzee man. The power of reincarnation penetrated into the body of the black chimpanzee man from the bruise, like a laser with hundreds of thousands of degrees of heat hitting an ordinary person's chest, directly piercing through his chest.

"Reincarnation Mirror!"

In pain, the black chimpanzee man looked down at his own chest, the bowl-sized, directly-penetrating greenish-black wound distorted his ugly face.

But immediately following, the black chimpanzee man waved his right hand, and the light of reincarnation scattered between his palms, spreading out in all directions like scattered flowers from a heavenly maiden, only to interweave back towards the center.

The interwoven light of reincarnation formed an illusion of a Reincarnation Seal.

The illusion of the Reincarnation Seal fired rounds of ring-shaped brilliance, which enveloped the body of the black chimpanzee man. He quickly retreated, and after a couple of steps, his figure disappeared from the spot.

Puff!

Another burst of greenish-black reincarnation brilliance shone from afar, and due to the sudden disappearance of the black chimpanzee man, it ultimately landed on the stone of Yuhua Platform where he had been standing.

The force of reincarnation circulated on the stone of Yuhua Platform, and the solid stone disappeared from its place in less than a tenth of a second, as if it had never been there at all.

Not far away, on the door of an old room opposite, green light flowed, revealing the figure of Zhao Yaogu on the door. After a few movements, he stepped out from inside the door.

"What a pity, it's a past reincarnation technique again, he escaped." Zhao Yaogu moved at an extremely fast pace, yet walked towards the spot where Lu Ping had just been killed by the black chimpanzee man.

Zhao Yaogu watched with immense regret at the spot where the black chimpanzee man disappeared, frowning deeply.

"Who is this man? Why do people from beyond want to kill him?"

Then, Zhao Yaogu looked towards the corpse of Lu Ping, puzzled, "Has the beyond already begun to kill wantonly? Or is there another purpose?"

"Better get in touch with the Village Protection Team. It's said that Xiao Mu is also in Twilight Forest Village. Taoist Brother Xiao's strength is formidable, and his treasure-hunting ability is unparalleled in the world. It'd be best to take this opportunity to connect with him."

"Serving the same Alliance, the task of hunting the Variant Beings from beyond could also be solicited from Taoist Brother Xiao."

Mumbling to himself, Zhao Yaogu casually picked up Lu Ping's corpse and put it in the Storage Box, then unfolded his Escape Art to head towards the station of the Village Protection Team.

"Layman Li, do you have any news on Little Layman Li?"

Li Qi was not someone who kept the house tidy. The house was cluttered with lots of things everywhere loosely placed. When Xiao Mu arrived at the Li family, he even saw the sofa at Li Qi's home piled with clothes, leaving no place to sit.

"Daoist Yan, please take a seat!"

Li Qi shuffled the clothes on the sofa a few times, heaped them onto another sofa, and invited Xiao Mu to sit on the sofa that was just cleared.

"Thank you!"

Xiao Mu, suppressing his discomfort, sat down on the sofa and took the tea from Li Qi, managing to find a spot on the tea table to set it down.

"Layman Li, has Little Layman Li contacted you recently?"

"Li Jing? That girl, why is Daoist Yan suddenly asking about her? She hasn't been to my home for several days now, and I don't know what she's been up to recently. Daoist, wait a moment, let me ask her what's going on."

As he spoke, Li Qi took out his cellphone to send a message to Li Jing.

It seemed Li Qi might know even less about the message regarding Li Jing than I do, not even aware that Li Jing had disappeared.

Xiao Mu glanced calmly at Li Qi's cellphone. He originally intended to stop him from sending the message, but then he decided to let it happen, quietly waiting for the result of Li Qi's attempt to contact Li Jing.

The result did not surprise Xiao Mu at all, whether by making phone calls or sending text messages, Li Qi had not been able to contact Li Jing.

"Xiao Jing, what's wrong with this girl; why can't my messages get through and the calls won't go through?"

Li Qi finally frowned.

"There might be some problems with Layman Xiao Li; I did not find anything last time. Layman Li, do you know who Xiao Li has been in contact with recently? Also, besides having nightmares, have there been any other abnormal behaviors lately?"

Xiao Mu was entirely serious.

"Something happened? Is Li Jing in trouble?" Li Qi suddenly panicked upon hearing this and anxiously stood up from the sofa.

This Layman Li is really not calm!

Xiao Mu glanced at Li Qi with a composed look, soothing her, "Layman Li, do not panic. I am currently investigating Xiao Li's situation and will do my utmost to prevent any mishaps."

While speaking, Xiao Mu exhaled a breath of Dao Method Spiritual Energy, invisibly steeping it onto Li Qi.

Dao Method Spiritual Energy has the effect of calming the mind. After all, Li Qi is just an ordinary person, and she was easily soothed by Xiao Mu's Dao Method Spiritual Energy.

"Ah~ Thank you, Daoist!" Li Qi calmed down a lot and while pondering she said, "I'm not quite sure who Xiao Jing has been in contact with recently. She doesn't usually tell me about her matters; I'm just her aunt, not her mother. Even if I were her mother, as you know, Daoist, kids nowadays may not tell their parents everything."

Xiao Mu nodded. While the explanation from Layman Li was not entirely clear, he understood it fully, "Layman Li, do you know if, aside from having nightmares, Xiao Li encountered any other abnormal experiences?"

"Abnormal experiences? Let me think, Daoist," Li Qi pondered again.

"Layman Li, please think carefully, and do not overlook any details. Any detail could help me find Xiao Li." As he spoke, Xiao Mu again used his breath to direct a stream of Dao Method Spiritual Energy towards Li Qi, arranging her thoughts while helping her to think.

"Let me think, let me think... Oh, that's right..."

Li Qi seemed to suddenly recall something, her eyes lighting up, "Li Jing once heard some murmuring sounds in the crevices of the stones on Canghua Mountain..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Li Qi's voice weakened, her eyes began to glaze over, and a blue-black Vortex suddenly emerged behind her, exerting a powerful suction force trying to pull her into it.

"Daoist... help me!"

Li Qi cried weakly, her hands blindly reaching out, trying to grab something to counter the strong suction force emerging from the blue-black Vortex behind her.

However, suddenly, everything in front of her disappeared, as if reality itself had turned into illusion, her hands unable to grasp anything.

Reincarnation!

Xiao Mu's expression tightened as the mention of Li Qi's recent experience seemed to have triggered the Power of Reincarnation, causing Reincarnation to appear automatically, intent on pulling her whole living self into it.

A black and white glow appeared in Xiao Mu's palms as he held the Book of Life and Death, sweeping it behind Li Qi, its light cutting directly through the suction force emanating from the blue-black Vortex, severing the connection between Li Qi and the Vortex.

Illusion once again became reality, and Li Qi's figure slowly solidified.

"Thank you, Daoist; what... what just happened to me?" Li Qi's body returned to normal, but her eyes revealed bewilderment, completely unaware that she had just experienced the prowess of Reincarnation.

"You were just a bit tired and almost fell asleep," Xiao Mu replied kindly with a smile, not telling Li Qi the truth.

"I almost fell asleep; I've been really tired lately, thank you, Daoist." Li Qi's brow slightly furrowed, not doubting Xiao Mu's words under the soothing influence of the Dao Method Spiritual Energy.

"You're welcome." Xiao Mu smiled slightly and stretched out his hand to the right, the Brilliance of the Five Elements converged in his hand, and the Five Elements Power quickly formed into a colorful Wooden Stick.

This Wooden Stick was about one meter and twenty centimeters in length, appearing smooth and sturdy from the outside, yet showing no signs of its power.

Glancing at the Reincarnation Vortex that persistently lingered behind Li Qi and had not dissipated, Xiao Mu passed the Five Elements Wooden Stick to Li Qi, "Layman Li, please take this Wooden Stick, hold it horizontally in front of your body, and remember, you must not let go for the next twenty-four hours."
