"Present! Respected Envoy Wu, please give your orders!"

He Qun hurried forward, walking to the opposite side of the grey-black shadow.

Wu Ying's voice came through the shadow, "He Qun, explore the surroundings and see if there are any humans from the human world nearby. Xiao Mu can change his appearance and hide his tracks, but that doesn't mean other human Variants can do the same."

"Previously, besides Xiao Mu, there were five True Gods who attacked Ma Fang and his team. These five human True Gods can't each possess the Changeable Divine Technique, can they? That possibility is just too low."

"Yes!"

He Qun agreed, extending his left hand to raise the compass and reaching out with his right hand, suddenly flicking the compass with one hand.

From the compass, lines of black light flew out, heading in all directions.

"Reporting to Respected Envoy Zhang, the whereabouts of Qin Guang and his team have been pinpointed; they are located 270 kilometers directly west of us."

Tan Ke, using the Green Bowl to explore, reported results to Xiao Mu respectfully after a few minutes.

"Pursue! Annihilate Qin Guang!" Xiao Mu commanded.

"Chase!"

"Kill!"

Whoosh whoosh whoosh! Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

A dozen people, utilizing Escape Art, followed Xiao Mu and headed westward to pursue Qin Guang.

"You say there are no signs of human Variants nearby; are you sure?"

The grey-black shadow trembled like a grey flag being waved by the wind.

He Qun respectfully responded, "Reporting to Respected Envoy Wu, I am completely certain. Within a 500-kilometer radius around us, there are no signs of human Variants. However, I did see dozens of our Heavenly Court's Mutated Beings."

"Report! To Respected Envoy Wu, the person has been brought! Someone who once served under Zhao Rui."

At this moment, Ma Fang brought a True God and saluted the grey-black shadow.

"Chou Yun pays respects to Respected Envoy Wu!"

The supposedly unremarkable Heavenly Court True God who came with Ma Fang slightly exuded black gas, revealing himself as a City God.

"No need for formalities!"

The grey-black shadow slightly trembled, and Wu Ying's voice emanated, "Chou Yun, have you ever encountered human Variants?"

"Human Variants?"

Chou Yun thought for a moment and shook his head, "Reporting to Respected Envoy Wu, we have not encountered human Variants. However, the leader I follow, Zhao Rui, intended to contend for Bai Jing's Treasury. Then, not long ago, Zhao Rui led us to seek revenge on Zhang Xiu in Bai Rong and Gan Yun's team."

"That Zhang Xiu is only at the Divine Spirit Realm, but when pitted in a duo against Zhao Rui, Zhang Xiu defeats him and kills him."

"Finally, Zhang Xiu led Gan Yun, Bai Rong, and others to pursue us. Among our remaining seven True Gods, most were killed while escaping."

"Never?"

The grey-black shadow trembled again upon hearing this, as if Wu Ying was contemplating, "Could it be that those five human True Gods and Xiao Mu just vanished into thin air?"

"Reporting to Respected Envoy Wu!"

At this moment, the Gold Spirit God suddenly stepped forward and whispered to Wu Ying, "That Zhang Xiu is likely problematic. This person, only a mere Divine Spirit, managed to kill Zhao Rui, a True God. Such an instance of the weak defeating the strong—isn't it questionable to Respected Envoy Wu?"

The grey-black shadow, upon hearing this, shivered directly, issuing an order, "Ma Fang, quickly contact Bai Rong and Gan Yun and summon Zhang Xiu to see me."

"Yes!"

Ma Fang agreed, preparing to turn around.

"Wait a moment!"

The grey-black shadow spoke again to stop him, "If Zhang Xiu has a problem, doing this might alert him. Do not directly summon him; instead, say I have arrived and ask Gan Yun and Bai Rong to lead their team to meet me."

"Understood!"

Ma Fang turned and went to contact Bai Rong and Gan Yun.

"He Qun." Then, the grey-black shadow called He Qun again and ordered, "Investigate once more as to what our people are doing, where Qin Guang is, where Bai Rong and Gan Yun are, and what they are doing."

"Understood!" He Qun agreed, holding the green compass to explore again.

※※※

Buzz buzz buzz! Buzz buzz buzz!

Strange noises suddenly emanated from Gan Yun and Bai Rong simultaneously.

"Everyone, pause; someone is contacting us."

Upon Gan Yun and Bai Rong's call, everyone stopped at once.

Gan Yun and Bai Rong each felt around their bodies and eventually took out a Fu Zhuan.

Holding the Fu Zhuan, the two closed their eyes to receive the information.

Soon after, the two opened their eyes, looking at Xiao Mu in surprise.

"You two, who is contacting you?"

Seeing their expressions, Xiao Mu couldn't help feeling something was off, asking strangely.

"Brother Zhang…""Brother Zhang…"

Gan Yun and Bai Rong spoke almost in unison, cutting each other's words off.

Then, exchanging glances, Bai Rong raised his hand, "Brother Gan, you speak first. Perhaps we received the same information."

"I won't stand on ceremony then."

Gan Yun said, turning to Xiao Mu, "Brother Zhang, the message I received came from Ma Fang."

"Ma Fang, why did he suddenly contact Brother Gan?" Xiao Mu felt puzzled; is Ma Fang not afraid of being killed? Should I use this to lure him in and kill him again?

Gan Yun replied, "It wasn't Ma Fang; even though he contacted me, it was not his decision. Rather, it was the decision of Respected Envoy Wu Ying. Brother Zhang, Respected Envoy Wu Ying wants us to quickly visit him."

"Respected Envoy Wu Ying?"
