The Mutated Beings from the Heavenly Court hurried up and rescued Feng Ping, moving away from Dahong Pass.

Feng Ping's injuries were not serious; he quickly stood up, glaring at Dahong Pass, and said angrily, "How hateful that the people of the Human world have taken action first, occupying Dahong Pass. Huang Yuan is truly despicable. The Heavenly Light Four Absolute Pillars have unparalleled power, and with just us, it's impossible to break through the formation. Send a message to the three Respected Envoys, Huge Mountain, Feng Jia, and Wu Ying, to seek their help to break the formation."

"Why are you helping me?"

Xiao Mu looked at the silver-grey handbell in Gu Mei's hand, but his expression didn't change.

Gu Mei said, "It's simple, helping you, Xiao Mu, is helping myself. As long as the First Merit falls into your hands, Chen Ming and Xu Lang will both fail."

"Since I no longer have the chance to seize the First Merit, why not give it to you? I can't accept either Chen Ming or Xu Lang getting the First Merit."

"Only you, Xiao Mu, have no conflict with me. Giving the First Merit to you is better than giving it to them."

Xiao Mu thought for a moment and then said, "But you need to know, being with me is dangerous. I'm going to kill the Mutated Beings of the Heavenly Court, and once the Heavenly Court knows what I'm doing, they will probably want to kill me too."

"You might not know, but after I entered the formation, the Heavenly Court sent three True God Level powerhouses to chase and kill me."

"If these three people find out where I am, they will likely come after me immediately. Being with me puts you at risk."

"In the event that any one of these three comes after me, I'll have no choice but to run. Being with me, I can't take care of you."

"With your strength, facing such True God Level powerhouses, you're probably unable to escape at all, right?"

"So, I advise you not to stay with me. Give me the handbell, and I'll go alone to kill the Mutated Beings of the Heavenly Court."

"Believe in my strength; if I go all out, the number of Mutated Beings from the Heavenly Court I kill and the merit I acquire will certainly surpass Chen Ming and Xu Lang."

"That First Merit, ultimately, can only be seized by me."

Gu Mei's face changed when she heard about the three True God Level Mutated Beings. "Three True God level powerhouses? Xiao Mu, you really know how to stir things up?"

Xiao Mu chuckled, indifferent, "Now that you know there are three True God powerhouses coming after me, I suppose you won't insist on staying with me."

"Hand over the bell. Afterwards, I'll compensate you with other treasures taken from the Mutated Beings of the Heavenly Court."

As he spoke, Xiao Mu extended his right hand, asking Gu Mei for the handbell.

Gu Mei hesitated upon hearing this. She gripped the handbell tightly, lowered her head, contemplated for a while, and suddenly said, "No, I still want to stay with you, Xiao Mu. Don't be quick to reject; I have my own plans."

"I, myself, have the ability to protect myself. If those three True God powerhouses were to come after us, I wouldn't need your help; I can escape on my own."

"As for why I want to stay with you, it's because I understand Xu Lang and Chen Ming all too well."

"These two are absolutely unlike you, who can take care of the bigger picture. In the Creation Space, facing the formidable enemies of the Heavenly Court, you are able to restrain yourself from striking out against your own. You prioritize dealing with external foes, unlike them."

"Given my understanding of these two, if they know your merit exceeds theirs and affects their chance to obtain the First Merit, they will definitely choose to scheme against you by any means possible to obstruct your achievements."

"So, Xiao Mu, you say you won't actively deal with them, but what if they provoke you relentlessly? Will you fight back?"

"I'm staying with you because I want to see, when they push you to the brink, how you will respond. Will you strike hard and kill them directly?"

"I eagerly await you to do just that!"
