"Old man, you can leave now."

Xiao Mu turned towards Chen Weiye.

"Thanks a lot, Mr. Mu!"

Chen Weiye expressed his gratitude, once again drifting towards the Spirit Tablet.

"Ah!"

But just as he approached the Spirit Tablet, a black light suddenly burst from it, propelling Chen Weiye's Yin Spirit away and preventing him from getting close.

"H...how can this be?"

The black light shot from the Spirit Tablet hit Chen Weiye, not only pushing him back but also causing him minor injuries.

Though the injuries were minor, he was shocked.

His own Spirit Tablet, yet he couldn't get in?

Chen Weiye was flustered and panicked.

"Let me take a look!"

The sudden appearance of black light also caught Xiao Mu off guard. Chen Weiye was being repelled by his own Spirit Tablet, a fact Xiao Mu couldn't comprehend.

Why would this happen?

After a careful examination, he first observed the Spirit Tablet.

Nothing wrong with that Spirit Tablet.

Then he looked at Chen Weiye. Once he had a good look, Xiao Mu's expression changed slightly.

Things seemed to be getting troublesome!

Chen Weiye had lost something extremely important: his soul bone.

Soul bones are the backbone of a soul.

It seemed that the bone in the Evil Ghost's hand came from Chen Weiye.

The Evil Ghost not only took Chen Weiye's physical bones from his coffin but also extracted the soul bone from Chen Weiye's Yin Spirit.

These two sets of bones were merged to create a Bone Token.

However, the Bone Token was tiny, and a lot of soul bones had been taken from Chen Weiye's body.

Just now, Xiao Mu killed the Evil Ghost, only retrieving one Bone Token, no other bones.

Where are the other bones?

Could they be with the Blood Demon?

Did the Blood Demon plan to use Chen Weiye's bones to create one Bone Token after another?

Turning to Chen Weiye, he spoke solemnly: "Sir, it seems you won't be able to return for now."

"Can't return?"

Seeing the serious expression on Xiao Mu's face, Chen Weiye couldn't help but feel anxious, "Mr. Mu, can you tell me why?"

Xiao Mu looked solemn, "Sir, your soul bones have been taken away by the Evil Ghost."

"What? Soul bones?"

Despite being prepared, Chen Weiye's face changed dramatically and he uttered sorrowfully: "No wonder I feel weak and unable to use any strength. I can't even approach my own Spirit Tablet. So, my soul bone has been taken away. Mr. Mu... can I still be saved?"

Despite trying to appear calm, he still felt panic.

For a Yin Spirit, having its soul bone taken away is similar to a human losing their bones. While it may not be as severe, it is still exceptionally serious.

Xiao Mu said calmly, "If we can retrieve your soul bone, there is still hope."

Upon hearing this, Chen Weiye immediately fell silent.

The Evil Ghost had seized his soul bone. What could he do with his abilities to retrieve it from the Evil Ghost's hands?

If he had the ability to retrieve his soul bones from the Evil Ghost, his soul bones wouldn't have been taken away in the first place.

Chen Weiye looked at Xiao Mu. The old man wanted to ask for his help but hesitated to voice it out.

The one who took his soul bone was the Blood Demon.

How formidable the Blood Demon was, this old man was acutely aware. He was worried that it might put Xiao Mu at risk.

Chen Wenjun, who was on the sidelines listening to the conversation, hastily stepped forward when he heard this. He pleaded with Xiao Mu, "Mr. Mu, could you also help reclaim my grandfather's soul bone from the clutches of the evil ghost?"

"Wenjun, don't say that!"

Chen Weiye vocally reprimanded Chen Wenjun, "Do you know how formidable the evil ghost that stole my soul bone is? Isn't asking Mr. Mu for help putting him in harm's way?"

Knowing very well that it was a blood demon who stole his soul bone, Chen Weiye dared not to impose on Xiao Mu rashly. He was very worried that Xiao Mu would get hurt in a confrontation with the blood demon.

If it really came to that, he would feel extremely apologetic and guilt-ridden for a lifetime.

"Ahem!"

Seeing that the two men ignored him and that Chen Weiye was lecturing Chen Wenjun, Xiao Mu could only interrupt their conversation by clearing his throat. "Mr. Chen, Chen Wenjun, I am willing to help reclaim the soul bone. But before that, I have a question for Mr. Chen."

"Please ask, Mr. Mu!"

Upon hearing that Xiao Mu was willing to help, Chen Weiye was overjoyed and quickly responded politely.

Xiao Mu asked, "It's about the blood demon. Mr. Chen, have you ever seen it? Do you know how powerful it is? Is it a blue blood demon, a red blood demon, or a dark purple blood demon?"

Chen Weiye thought back and firmly said, "It was a red blood demon."

"That's better!"

Xiao Mu breathed a sigh of relief.

A red blood demon was still manageable.

If it were a dark purple blood demon, he'd rather flee. Even with his entire team present, they stood no chance against it.

"Mr. Mu, are you confident?"

After hearing Xiao Mu's words, Chen Weiye looked surprised and a bit worried for him.

This was after all a red blood demon, he didn't want to inadvertently put Mr. Mu at risk.

Xiao Mu nodded and said, "I have some confidence with a red blood demon. Of course, I may need to call a friend for help. With a friend's assistance, I should have no difficulty dealing with a red blood demon."

"Mr. Mu's strength is so powerful!"

Chen Weiye exclaimed in surprise, completely taken aback.

Having personally experienced the power of a red blood demon, he was very clear about its capabilities. It made him feel as helpless as a baby.

Upon hearing that Xiao Mu only needed a friend's help to deal with a red blood demon, he was instantly astonished.

"It's alright."

Xiao Mu humbly replied.

He turned to Chen Weiye, "Mr. Chen, I need to discuss some plans with Mr. Wenjun. Please excuse us."

The reason he said this was to keep Chen Weiye out of it.

Truth be told, Chen Weiye could not provide any significant aid in this matter.

"Please go ahead, Mr. Mu!"

Chen Weiye quickly responded politely, then turned to Chen Wenjun and sternly said, "Wenjun, you must listen to Mr. Mu. No matter what he asks for, you should try to meet his requirements, otherwise I won't acknowledge you as my descendant!"

"Grandfather, rest assured. Mr. Mu is our benefactor, and I would never slight him, even without you uttering those words."

Chen Wenjun promptly replied.

"Good that you understand, go with Mr. Mu now. Mr. Mu, I entrust the matters of the Chen family to you."

Chen Weiye once again reminded Chen Wenjun and was extremely respectful and polite to Xiao Mu.

"You're too kind."

Xiao Mu modestly replied and then left with Chen Wenjun.

"Mr. Chen, the one who took your grandfather's soul bone is a red blood demon. The evil ghost we just dealt with is merely its underling."

"The blood demon has a strong blood Qi. If it were to approach you, you might die. Therefore, it instructed its underling, the evil ghost, to complete the task of absorbing the noble Qi within your bones."

"The item that the evil ghost used to absorb your noble Qi is this."

As Xiao Mu said this, he took out the bone token and showed it to Chen Wenjun.

"It's this!"

Upon seeing the bone token, Chen Wenjun involuntarily shuddered.
