"Since Respected Envoy Bai has said so, I won't be polite."

Xiao Mu smiled and continued, "I'd like to ask a question first, Respected Envoy Bai, Respected Envoy Gan. Both of you are leaders, please answer."

"This time we're participating in the treasure hunt. Is the Bai Jing Treasury we obtain going to be evenly divided among all participating teams, or does it belong to whoever can take it by skill?"

"Of course, it belongs to whoever can take it by skill."

Bai Rong did not hesitate.

Xiao Mu smiled and looked at Gan Yun, who nodded.

"I have another question, Respected Envoy Gan, Respected Envoy Bai. Are the two of you confident in defeating the forces of Qin Guang, Zhao Rui, and Ma Fang and obtaining the treasure alone?"

"This..."

Gan Yun and Bai Rong both fell silent, contemplating seriously.

With their current strength, compared to Qin Guang, Zhao Rui, Ma Fang, and others, they were indeed weaker by more than a notch. Therefore, to seize the treasure from Qin Guang, Zhao Rui, Ma Fang, and others, the possibility was infinitely close to zero.

"I'm afraid not!" Eventually, Bai Rong shook his head, disappointment apparent.

"No!" Gan Yun also shook his head, with a look of loss.

"That's it."

Xiao Mu smiled again and said, "Given our strength, participating in the treasure hunt by normal methods, it's entirely impossible to obtain the Bai Jing Treasury. So, in order to acquire the Bai Jing Treasury, we must think of ways, see if there are other methods to help us achieve the goal and obtain the treasury alone."

"It seems Respected Envoy Zhang has a plan, why not share it for everyone to consider?"

Ye Jing suddenly chimed in. With the full effort of two cultivators of Life and Death Power, her injuries were almost healed.

"Respected Envoy Ye has recovered, very good, very good, our strength has returned to its strongest state, congratulations!"

Xiao Mu turned his head, looked at Ye Jing, and offered his congratulations.

"Respected Envoy Zhang is too kind. Fortunately, Respected Envoy Zhang arranged for help to treat my injuries, otherwise, I wouldn't have recovered so quickly!"

Ye Jing modestly replied and casually thanked Xiao Mu.

"We are all our own people, no need to say these things. Respected Envoy Ye's recovery is only beneficial for us, not harmful."

Xiao Mu continued to be polite, then laughed, "Continuing the previous topic, our strength is somewhat weak, not as good as Qin Guang, Ma Fang, Zhao Rui. As the saying goes, strike first to gain the upper hand, act later to suffer the consequences, I propose we ambush them."

"What?"

"Ambush!"

Gan Yun, Bai Rong, Ye Jing, Meng Tong, and Ran Xiu were all shocked upon hearing this.

"Gentlemen, the previous battle, went quite well, didn't it?"

Zhou Xuanmen cupped his hands in respect towards the newly arrived Divine Monarch Wu De, greeting.

"Haha!"

Divine Monarch Wu De laughed heartily, "Not bad, not bad. Unfortunately, that kid from Yuan Men couldn't take a hit; as soon as he realized he wasn't my match, he fled immediately. I couldn't be bothered to chase, so I let him escape with his tail between his legs."

His words were not exaggerated, calmly saying, "Yu Tong's strength was average, unable to do anything to me."

Zhou Xuanmen nodded, expressing some regret, "It's a pity we couldn't let you enjoy it fully. But don't worry, there are even more fun things coming next."

"On the Heavenly Court's side, a Summoning Array has been set up. I suspect that soon, a True God will descend."

※※※

"Yes, ambush!"

Xiao Mu said seriously, "Our strength is inferior to any of the three factions of Qin, Ma, and Zhao. To seize the treasury, the only way is to ambush, thinking of ways to weaken them."

"Their strength weakens, equivalent to our strength increasing."

"By then, when we can handle many of them, or annihilate them all, we will naturally have the capital to dominate the Bai Jing Treasury alone."

He intends to stir up internal strife among the Heavenly Court's Mutated Beings, making the three True God Level experts too busy to distract themselves, allowing him to profit from the chaos.

Otherwise, given his strength, how could he be a match for the Heavenly Court's three True God Level experts?

"Wait, Respected Envoy Zhang, I don't quite understand."

Gan Yun frowned, puzzled, "Our strength is at a distance from Qin Guang, Ma Fang, Zhao Rui. Even if we ambush, we cannot win, right?"

The others clearly had similar thoughts as Gan Yun, all unconsciously looked towards Xiao Mu upon hearing this.

Xiao Mu laughed, "Respected Envoy Gan didn't understand what I meant. My so-called ambush is not the whole team going for an attack, that's not an ambush, that's starting a war."

"What I mean by ambush is our six people, us six in the True God Realm — you, me, Respected Envoy Bai, Ye Jing, Meng Tong, Ran Xiu — we six secretly lurk, attack them suddenly, strike and leave."

"With the six of us joining forces, once, we just need to kill two in the True God Realm, twice means four, four times means eight, and then a team's True God Realm is gone."

"Twelve times means three teams' True God Realm are gone."

"Moreover, we don't need too many ambushes, just need to ambush each team once, which is enough to weaken their strength to a level similar to ours."

"Just once, ambushing each team once, would significantly increase our chances of acquiring the Bai Jing Treasury. Why not do it?"

"Respected Envoy Gan, Respected Envoy Bai, what do you think?"

Gan Yun, Bai Rong, even including Ye Jing, Meng Tong, and Ran Xiu started thinking.

After a while, Gan Yun shook her head and said, "I still feel it's not quite right."

"We are all from the Heavenly Court, it's hard to justify acting against our own. Once the higher-ups find out, it's quite likely to be punished."
