"Now, I demand that all of you hand over your merit books, or don't blame me for being ruthless!"

"Ah, this..."

The handsome middle-aged man's expression changed, and Gu Mei's words left him unsure of how to respond.

However, another True God Realm man in a suit with a long face protested, "Respected Envoy Gu, we're grateful that you brought us into the sealed land. But without any reason, wanting to confiscate our merit books? Without merit books, how can we earn merits?"

"Chen Tong, you don't want to give it?"

Gu Mei exuded killing intent, suddenly turned, and glared angrily at the long-faced True God Realm man.

The long-faced man said, "There should at least be an explanation!"

"The explanation is that because I want them, you have to give them whether you want to or not. Entering the creation space with me and handing over your merit books is the price."

Gu Mei's face became more and more unsightly, and her gaze at the long-faced man grew sharper, seemingly ready to take action at any moment.

"This..."

The long-faced man was dumbfounded, "Alright, if that's the case, I have nothing more to say. We're all from the human world, in a dangerous place, it's unwise to have conflicts among ourselves."

"Respected Envoy Gu wants the merit books, I'll give mine. However, I can't accept Gu Mei's methods. After handing over the merit books, I would like to leave, and I hope Respected Envoy Gu won't interfere at that time."

Saying this, the long-faced man took out his merit book, threw it on the ground, and then used escape art to flee westward.

Gu Mei watched coldly, with anger in her eyes but did not stop him.

"Forget it, I'll leave too! Brother Chen, wait for me!"

Immediately, another person from the mutant being's group imitated Chen Tong, threw down their merit book, and chased after him.

Not long after, three more people made the same choice as Chen Tong, left their merit books behind, and left.

"Sister Gu, here is the merit book!"

A subordinate of Gu Mei at the Divine Spirit Realm picked up the merit books and presented them to Gu Mei with both hands.

"Fools who overestimate themselves, leaving me, let's see if you can survive, hmph!"

Gu Mei snorted angrily, taking the merit books and putting them away.

"Sister Gu, why make it so difficult?"

The Divine Spirit Realm subordinate advised through transmission, "Earlier, Sister Gu only had to speak more tactfully, explaining why you needed the merit books, and it wouldn't have been so troublesome to collect them."

Gu Mei suddenly glared angrily at the Divine Spirit Realm subordinate.

The subordinate quickly smiled apologetically, "Sister Gu, calm down, forget it, I won't say more!"

"Those who left me won't survive in the end. Those of you who remain are sensible, understanding gains and losses, which is good. Now, I'll take you to hunt the Heavenly Court's mutant beings to earn merits."

Gu Mei's gaze shifted again, falling on the remaining mutant beings from the human world.

"Someone!"

Xiao Mu's divine sense finally detected traces of people, even though they were Heavenly Court mutant beings.

Still, this discovery brought him joy.

"Heavenly Court's mutant beings are coming, quite a number of them. One, two, three... five... and more are gathering here. What exactly are these Heavenly Court mutants planning? Why are they here gathering?"

Xiao Mu's divine sense discovered the Heavenly Court mutant beings were converging towards a direction.

These people clearly had a purpose, gathering together and then stopping quietly to wait.

"Let's go down and see, listen to what they have to say."

Xiao Mu's divine sense sank down, landing near the gathered Heavenly Court mutant beings, wanting to hear what they were going to say.

In fact, the gathered Heavenly Court mutant beings weren't very strong, the strongest one was merely at the True God Realm, and currently, only one—a white-haired old man.

The others were much weaker, merely existing at the Divine Spirit Realm.

Swish, swish, swish!

A streak of five-color escape light came swiftly from the west, arriving before long.

This was a man appearing only in his early twenties, quite ugly, but with a slightly sinister look in his eyes.

This man's realm was also True God Realm, looking slightly stronger than the previous white-haired old man.

"Greetings to Respected Envoy Bai!"

"Salutations to Respected Envoy Bai!"

The waiting Heavenly Court mutant beings all saluted the ugly man upon seeing him.

The ugly man nodded, scanning everyone, then asked, "Is it just us?"

The white-haired old man said, "Respected Envoy Bai, after receiving the information, everyone nearby has rushed here. Those who didn't are either too far away or simply don't wish to participate in our operation."

"Not participating? Aren't they foolish? Forget them; with us here, one, two, three... seven, including me, makes eight. With just us eight, it should be enough! Let's move!"

The ugly man Respected Envoy Bai waved his hand, and everyone together activated escape art, moving southwest.

Swish, swish, swish! Swish, swish, swish!

Escape light illuminated, the Heavenly Court team accelerated their escape.

"What's with these people? They seem to have some grand scheme. Should I follow them to see, or directly strike and eliminate them all?"

Xiao Mu's divine sense followed for a while, pondering how he should handle these Heavenly Court mutant beings.

"Earlier, that so-called Respected Envoy Bai said they were meeting with others. If I kill them now, won't I miss those other Heavenly Court mutants they were supposed to meet?"

Xiao Mu hesitated, considering he could use soul-searching techniques to extract divine sense after killing these mutants, but such techniques were unreliable, too easy to miss crucial information.

What if he accidentally lost key information, missing out on important clues?

"Forget it, I'll follow them to see what they're up to first."

Seeing the direction the Heavenly Court people were heading, Xiao Mu's divine sense quickly returned to his body.

In his body, Xiao Mu immediately activated escape art to chase after the direction the Heavenly Court mutant beings went.

"Change!"

While chasing, Xiao Mu suddenly thought of something, using the Changeable Divine Technique, changing his form to become an ordinary Heavenly Court mutant being.

This ordinary mutant had the same realm as Xiao Mu, being at the peak of the Divine Spirit Realm.

His appearance was one that Xiao Mu had seen and remembered before entering the grey channel from the heavenly crowd.

With this original form, his identity wasn't easily exposed.

Swish, swish, swish!

After transformation, Xiao Mu increased his escape speed, suddenly overtaking Heavenly Court mutant beings, then approached from the left.

"Respected Envoy Bai, please wait for me!"

Xiao Mu activated escape art, approaching from the side.

"It's Zhang Xiu, wait for him, Zhang Xiu's here."

The ugly man Respected Envoy Bai first saw Xiao Mu's figure, immediately ordering others to halt their light and wait for Xiao Mu's arrival.

"Greetings, Respected Envoy Bai!"

Using escape art and assuming a Heavenly Court mutant's identity, Xiao Mu quickly arrived opposite the Heavenly Court mutants led by Respected Envoy Bai.

He fittingly cupped his fist and saluted the ugly man Respected Envoy Bai.

"Zhang Xiu, why are you here? What brings you to us?"

The ugly man Respected Envoy Bai had no suspicion of Xiao Mu. In fact, with his sight, he couldn't possibly discern any difference between the current Xiao Mu and the real Zhang Xiu.

Xiao Mu's mutated Changeable Divine Technique was just that powerful.

Learning his 'name', Xiao Mu felt more confident about impersonating Zhang Xiu and calmly said, "I was teleported, ending up here, unaware of where to go or what to do. I just happened to see Respected Envoy Bai leading people."

"Respected Envoy Bai, where are you going, and what are you going to do? Can you take me along?"

"You want to join us?"

The ugly man Respected Envoy Bai was a bit surprised at Xiao Mu's request but then laughed, "You, Zhang Xiu, are always known for being timid. What, suddenly had a change of heart and want to adventure with us?"
