"I have this idea."

Xiao Mu nodded and explained, "Actually, it's not us luring the people from the Heavenly Court out, but rather after learning that we've killed He Zhuo and Xu Ling, the people from the Heavenly Court might come out themselves."

"Since after Feng Ping's death, He Zhuo and Xu Ling sought revenge for him, now that He Zhuo and Xu Ling are dead, wouldn't the remaining people from the Heavenly Court possibly do the same for them?"

"So, perhaps we don't need to do anything, we just need to wait, and the Heavenly Court people will come down to find us on their own."

"This..."

Zhu Ke was a bit startled, exchanging a look with Wang Yuan, they both thought carefully and found Xiao Mu's words made sense.

"It does make sense, but if the Heavenly Court people who come down are too strong, we might have a hard time handling them."

Xiao Mu responded with a smile, "That's why we need to support each other. The three of us working together, we should be able to handle a small number of strong figures from the Heavenly Court who descend. Even if there are more, we can request reinforcements from the Headquarters."

"That's true."

Zhu Ke thought for a moment and corrected Xiao Mu, "But, saying that we're luring the people from the Heavenly Court down is actually just us waiting for them to walk into the net themselves."

"That's the logic."

Xiao Mu nodded.

The three began to discuss, and not long after, they came to a unified idea and quickly moved to implementation.

"Have you heard? Grand Elder Xiao Mu took on three alone, killing three strong True Gods from the Heavenly Court, including even an Early Stage True God."

"No way! That Grand Elder Xiao, is he really that strong?"

In the northern part of the Eastern Desolation, Qin Yuan and Mo Lin were discussing in the Grand Hall. After receiving the information about Xiao Mu slaying the strong figures of the Heavenly Court, neither of them could believe it.

It's too fantastical, the power of Grand Elder Xiao is actually that formidable?

Despite this, the rumors still calmed them considerably, no longer living in fear of the Heavenly Court as before.

On the other side, Xiao Mu, Zhu Ke, and Wang Yuan, who had been hiding their traces in the northern part of the Eastern Desolation waiting for the strong figures of the Heavenly Court to descend, finally grew impatient after more than a month.

"No way, the people from the Heavenly Court haven't come to avenge He Zhuo and the others?"

Xiao Mu found it surprising.

Zhu Ke was equally incredulous, "The actions of the Heavenly Court's people are really unpredictable. Before, when Feng Ping, merely an Early Stage True God, died, three strong figures came for revenge. Now that three strong figures have died, even including He Zhuo, a Mid-Stage True God, yet the Heavenly Court is silent. I really don't know what those Heavenly Court people are thinking."

"Should we keep waiting?"

Wang Yuan posed the question.

Xiao Mu and Zhu Ke fell silent, both actually sharing Wang Yuan's thoughts, feeling there was no longer any need to continue waiting.

The Heavenly Court people, having taken so long without showing up, might not be coming anytime soon, right?

As for the reason, they couldn't say for sure; some wanted to believe it was because they were too afraid of Xiao Mu to come, but that seemed unlikely.

After all, the Heavenly Court surely had strong Variant beings, even at the Late Stage or Peak of the True God Realm.

Such formidable beings were not supposed to fear Xiao Mu.

Yet, even beings like that hadn't come down, attributing it to fear of Xiao Mu didn't sound right.

Unable to guess the reason for the Heavenly Court's temporary concealment, the three had no choice but to temporarily disband. Hence, Zhu Ke and Wang Yuan returned to their respective Stations.

Before parting, the three agreed to support each other immediately if any place faced the descent of strong figures from the Heavenly Court.

Staying in the northern part of the Eastern Desolation, Xiao Mu began patrolling the Eastern Desolation once more. While patrolling, he continued his Cultivation, finally making progress with his Creation Divine Axe, which had initially only shown a protrusion, and now had the semblance of a blade, with the rudiments of a Divine Axe taking shape.

If he were to face a Mid-Stage True God now, Xiao Mu could easily defeat them and effortlessly disrupt their True God Realm.

During his patrol of the northern Eastern Desolation, Xiao Mu returned to the Core Area to rearrange the tasks of Qin Yuan and Mo Lin.

Mo Lin had suddenly become respectful towards Xiao Mu, clearly influenced by Xiao Mu's feat of taking on three and killing three strong True Gods from the Heavenly Court.

Qin Yuan was even more in awe of Xiao Mu, accepting his instructions without question and executing them immediately.

Xiao Mu tasked them with overseeing the defensive arrangements across the northern Eastern Desolation, and this time, the work was easily organized.

A portion of Mutated Beings no longer worried about fleeing but followed orders to guard various places, restoring order to the previously chaotic northern Eastern Desolation.

And Xiao Mu continued his patrol of the northern Eastern Desolation.

High in the sky, months passed, and the Heavenly Court figures shrouded in Golden Light had long heard of He Zhuo and others being slain in the Human world, yet no one dared to descend under the leader's restraint.

Even general Mutated Beings began to fear the powerful human figures in the northern Eastern Desolation, worried that descending on their own would lead to their death.

However, on this day, high above, lights suddenly flickered, and a banner emerged.

The leader looked, and the Golden Light enveloping him immediately shone brighter; he respectfully led everyone in saluting the Black Flag and then turned to face the crowd, "The Supreme Peak has finally allowed us to descend. Everyone follow me in descending to the Human world. But remember, do not cause trouble; focus on the main task. If anyone delays the main task for personal reasons, don't blame me for being unfriendly."
