Swoosh swoosh swoosh!

A streak of escape light came skimming over the ground, moving with incredible speed, and in the blink of an eye, it approached closely.

"Who? Who's there? Stop!"

A voice of anger erupted from the crowd.

"How bold! Where are Gan Yun and Bai Rong? I am here under the command of Wu Ying, the respected envoy, to summon you and have you come to pay your respects! Gan Yun, Bai Rong, quickly gather your team and follow me to meet the respected envoy."

The escape light halted, revealing Qin Guang who stood at a distance, gazing at the crowd surrounding Xiao Mu.

The respected envoy of Wu Ying? Has Wu Ying really come?

Xiao Mu was startled, feeling a bit uneasy within. Fortunately, Wu Ying had not truly appeared, so he wasn't afraid; he had plenty of ways to handle this situation.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh! Swoosh swoosh swoosh!

Bai Rong and Gan Yun simultaneously used the escape art to step forward, looking at Qin Guang, "Qin Guang, what are you saying? The respected envoy of Wu Ying is summoning us?"

"That's correct!"

Qin Guang stood firm and shouted loudly, "The respected envoy commands you to lead your team and quickly come to pay respects. Bai Rong, Gan Yun, let's go, to meet the respected envoy."

"Hold on!"

After a loud shout, Xiao Mu stepped out.

"Brother Zhang! This Qin Guang says he's relaying the command of the respected envoy of Wu Ying, summoning us to pay respects!" Gan Yun first stepped forward, explaining Qin Guang's intent to Xiao Mu.

Xiao Mu nodded and sneered, questioning Qin Guang, "Qin Guang, you say the respected envoy of Wu Ying is summoning us, but do you have a command token?"

"This..."

Qin Guang was taken by surprise and was caught off guard, and then became angry, "Who are you to speak in my presence?"

This person clearly did not recognize Xiao Mu disguised as Zhang Xiu. Seeing him as merely at the divine spirits realm, he immediately became furious, shouting at Bai Rong and Gan Yun, "Bai Rong, Gan Yun, what kind of subordinate have you brought, who doesn't know ranks and speaks out of turn? Quickly make him step back!"

Bai Rong and Gan Yun couldn't help but glance at Xiao Mu.

This Qin Guang was too anxious, targeting Zhang Xiu as soon as he began speaking. How did this person know that Zhang Xiu's strength was far beyond his imagination?

Xiao Mu sneered, "Qin Guang, you have quite the arrogance. Even Gan Yun the respected envoy, and Bai Rong the respected envoy wouldn't speak to me like this. You look down on me because of my realm, don't you? Ridiculous!"

"You should know, the realm is not everything. Although I am only at the divine spirits realm, killing you is merely a trivial matter."

"You..."

Qin Guang was infuriated upon hearing this; Xiao Mu's words seemed overly arrogant to him. How could a mere divine spirits realm dare to boast that killing him was just a trivial task?

However, when he looked at Bai Rong and Gan Yun's expressions, he saw both of them were calm and showed no intention of refuting Xiao Mu's words. He was once again taken aback and calmed down considerably.

At this moment, he fixed his gaze on Xiao Mu, questioning, "Who exactly are you?"

"My name, I fear, you have never even heard of, but telling you is no harm; I am Zhang Xiu."

Xiao Mu asked again, "Qin Guang, you say the respected envoy of Wu Ying is summoning us, but do you have a hand order?"

Qin Guang, struck by Xiao Mu's words, lost much of his arrogance and could no longer be as brash as before. Lacking confidence, he replied, "The respected envoy only has verbal orders, no hand order."

Verbal orders?

Xiao Mu sneered and continued questioning, "So you have no way to prove whether the so-called command of the respected envoy is true or false?"

"Outrageous!"

Qin Guang was furious, pointing at Xiao Mu and roaring, "Zhang Xiu, you dare to question the command of the respected envoy."

"Qin Guang, you don't scare me!"

Xiao Mu remained unaffected, "The command of the respected envoy, I naturally wouldn't dare doubt. However, whether what you, Qin Guang, say is true, I can't trust. You can't even produce a hand order, how do we know you're not falsely conveying authority, trying to deceive us."

"Right now, as Bai Jing's treasury is up for grabs, who knows if you've set up a trap ahead, luring us to fall for it?"

"If not so, why is it that you, Qin Guang, dare not come closer and stand so far away?"

As he spoke, Xiao Mu looked at Qin Guang's position.

This Qin Guang stood too far away, leaving a distance of three to four hundred meters between them.

This distance made it very difficult for Xiao Mu to launch an attack.

With a smile on his face, Xiao Mu said, "Qin Guang, if you are without guilt, why not come a little closer. If you dare to walk to us, then I'll believe the verbal order from the respected envoy you speak of is genuine."

That Qin Guang was extremely cautious, immediately retreating upon hearing Xiao Mu's words, shouting, "Zhang Xiu, you want to trick me into coming forward to kill me, don't you? Do you think I'll fall for it?"

Damn it!

Xiao Mu couldn't help but curse inwardly, this Qin Guang was too vigilant, and didn't fall for it.

Not only did he not fall for it, but he also became even more alert listening to Xiao Mu's words, retreating immediately, rendering Xiao Mu's plan to lure this person closer to then kill him void.

However, despite the plan's failure, Xiao Mu was not deterred.

Xiao Mu pointed at Qin Guang, suddenly shouted, "It's true, Qin Guang, you're guilty, only falsely conveying authority, setting a trap ahead, trying to deceive us, 'entice us over for an ambush. Qin Guang, die for me!"

Without giving Qin Guang any chance to argue, Xiao Mu's body suddenly transformed into five-color divine light.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh!

The sound of escape art erupted, Xiao Mu's body turned into five-color divine light, skimming over the ground, directly charging toward Qin Guang.

At the same time, Xiao Mu swung his hand, and from his right hand, a golden beam ascended to the skies, transforming into a blade, targeting Qin Guang, slashing through the air.

"Outrageous! Zhang Xiu, you dare kill me!"
