"So tell me, how could you be of use to me?"

Xiao Mu seemed nonchalant as he stared at the green Ghoulish Saber.

This was the first time he had encountered such a cowardly evil ghost. All the evil ghosts he had encountered before were rigid and uncompromising.

It seems that there's a significant difference between the evil ghosts of the ghost world and those who dare to venture from the ghost world into the human world.

Evil ghosts from the ghost world seemed less vicious compared to those attacking the human world.

Hearing this, the green Ghoulish Saber visibly relaxed, hurriedly responding, "Human, you came for the Spiritual Metal, didn't you? I'll offer it to you. I'll give you every bit of Spiritual Metal I have."

"Oh!"

Xiao Mu remained expressionless as he glanced at the green Blood Demon.

Surprisingly, despite being such a coward, this green Blood Demon was quite intelligent, guessing that he had come for the Spiritual Metal.

"Where's the stuff?"

Xiao Mu casually asked.

"The stuff is here, it's all here."

The green Ghoulish Saber began to rise from the ground as he said this.

Noticing this, the Ghost Servant showed immediate vigilance, fixing its gaze on the green Blood Demon while tightly clutching the Soul blade.

It feared that the green Blood Demon would seize this chance to escape.

However, upon noticing this, the green Blood Demon was immediately terrified and knelt down again.

"Human, and you, honorable ancestor, I'm not trying to escape. I'm going to get the stuff. Please don't misunderstand, and please, don't harm me."

The green Ghoulish Saber explained anxiously, fearing that Xiao Mu and the Ghost Servant would misunderstand.

"Alright, get up."

Xiao Mu commanded.

This green Blood Demon was so faint-hearted and afraid of death. If it weren't a ghost, Xiao Mu might have burst into laughter at its behavior.

Such cowardice in a ghost was indeed rare.

"Yes, yes."

The green Ghoulish Saber glanced timidly at the Ghost Servant, then stood up after seeing the servant had no intention of stopping it.

"Human, I'll get the stuff for you, please don't kill me."

As the green Ghoulish Saber walked towards the only table in the tent, made from an unknown material oozing with intense Blood Qi and corroded so black, it said, opened the table drawer, and took out about a dozen Spiritual Metals roughly the size of grains of rice.

"Human, this is the Spiritual Metal, it's all here."

As it said, the green Ghoulish Saber glanced at Xiao Mu then timidly placed them on the top of the table.

It didn't dare to approach Xiao Mu, fearing that Xiao Mu might suddenly be in a bad mood and launch a fire talisman at it.

"That's all?"

Xiao Mu bent his head to look.

There was so little of the Spiritual Metal, only a dozen or so pieces.

At his remark, the already timid green Ghoulish Saber jumped in fright. "Human, that's all I have, all the Spiritual Metal is here."

"Ooh!"

Xiao Mu calmly looked at the green Ghoulish Saber again.

At his look, the green Ghoulish Saber jumped again, quickly lowered its head, too scared to look at Xiao Mu again.

"Since that's all, let's just leave it at that."

Xiao Mu said, casually picking up a dozen pieces of the Spiritual Metal and storing them in the Earth Talisman Space.

He glanced at the green Ghoulish Saber.

Obviously, he was not planning to let this green Ghoulish Saber off. After killing it, there would be five Energy Points waiting for him.

So, he planned to take out a True Fire Talisman and casually hit the demon with it.

"Human, don't kill me, don't kill me!"

The Green Blood Demon Yue, sensing danger, hurriedly knelt down again, pleading with Xiao Mu, and added: "Human, I know where there is Spiritual Metal. I can take you there. Don't kill me, I beg you not to kill me."

"Oh! You know where there is Spiritual Metal?"

Xiao Mu, upon hearing this, retracted the Dao Talisman he had just withdrawn.

If he could find Spiritual Metal, he might not need to kill this Green Blood Demon.

"I know, I truly do."

The Green Blood Demon Yue, hearing Xiao Mu's softened tone, spoke frantically.

"So tell me, where is it?"

Xiao Mu pressed further.

Yue said, "Human, in this Small World, apart from me, there are other ghost heads. I can take you to them, you can seize the Spiritual Metal from their hands."

"Oh!"

Xiao Mu thought for a while and then looked at Yue, "The suggestion isn't bad, but how do I know you won't lead me into a trap or set up an ambush to kill me?"

At these words, Yue was jolted with fear and his green face turned even greener. He quickly defended, "How dare I? Human, how dare I? You are so powerful, and your subordinate is so powerful. How would I dare to set up an ambush?"

"Moreover, ordinary ambushes wouldn't trap someone like you, right?"

"And not to mention, even if there was an ambush, given your strength and that of your superior, killing me would be a piece of cake, wouldn't it?"

"How would I dare to set up an ambush?"

After considering Yue's words, Xiao Mu thought it made some sense.

This Green Blood Demon was so timid, unlikely to have the courage to ambush him.

Besides, even if it wanted to ambush him, the Green Blood Demon should first pass on the information related to him.

Without spreading the news, how would they know he was here?

If they don't know he's here, how could they prepare a trap and ambush him in advance?

"Oh!"

Xiao Mu responded, "Tell me then, what level of ghost team can you lead me to, and how much Spiritual Metal can we get?"

After giving it a thought, Yue said, "Human, I can lead you to a Blue Blood Ghost, and you can obtain even more Spiritual Metal than I have, at least twice as much. Please, spare my life."

"You want me to spare you for a single Blue Blood Ghost? That price seems a bit too low."

Xiao Mu shook his head.

Frantic, Yue quickly added, "Human, there's also the Spiritual Metal, twice as much as I have."

"I didn't need your reminder."

Xiao Mu's expression darkened.

Yue shivered all over, "Yes, yes, human, spare me. I will try to get you more benefits, lots and lots of benefits."

"You first lead me to find that Blue Blood Ghost. If the benefits are satisfactory, I might consider sparing you."

Xiao Mu thought for a while, and ultimately figured it wouldn't hurt to agree for now. As to whether or not to kill the Green Blood Demon, he would decide later.

After all, killing it would offer him five Energy Points.

Moreover, he wouldn't show mercy to ghosts.

"Yes, human, thank you, thank you!"

Spared for the moment, Yue was overjoyed, thanking Xiao Mu repeatedly.

With Yue leading the way, they made their way towards the territory of the Blue Blood Ghost he spoke of.

The Blue Blood Ghost's territory was not particularly close.

The Ghost Servant casually grabbed Yue and drove the Yin Wind Carriage, taking Xiao Mu towards the Blue Blood Ghost's camp under Yue's guidance.

The Blue Blood Ghost's camp was not much different from Yue's own.

It seems even among Blood Demons, though the Blue one was a bit stronger than Yue, because it hadn't reached the stage of being a Red Blood Demon, it wasn't exactly a significant faction leader yet; thus, it didn't wield significantly greater power than Yue.
