Madman Chu chuckled and said, "We know a secret path that bypasses the Evil Ghost Camp, leading straight to the Evil Ghost's treasury."

"Why don't you come with us through this secret path?"

"Of course, if you're not willing, we won't press you. We can each go our own way."

A secret path?

Hearing this, Xiao Mu was in doubt.

This Madman Chu certainly meant no good, was definitely seeking to take advantage of him somehow, this so-called secret path, he wasn't sure whether it was real or fake.

While wondering, Yue suddenly transmitted a message in a low voice:

"The campsite of Lord Gu indeed has a secret path which could lead to his treasury."

There really is a secret path?

After hearing Yue's words, Xiao Mu's mind stirred.

It seemed that Madman Chu indeed wanted to lead him through this secret path, but where would this man try to outwit him?

Xiao Mu did not believe that the other party did not plan to take advantage of him, because he had seen all of Madman Chu's secret signals to the fire Mutant earlier.

The fire Mutant, who had been ablaze, suddenly stopped producing fire, clearly as a result of some instruction Madman Chu had given him via certain signals.

This secret instruction should be to his own detriment, Xiao Mu was sure.

Although he hadn't figured out how the other party planned to harm him, Xiao Mu, who was carrying an Evil Ghost spy, showed no fear and said, "If that's the case, let's go together."

"My friend, your decisiveness is admirable!"

Madman Chu praised, then continued, "If we come across a situation where action is needed, I hope you won't stand by."

"Of course not."

Xiao Mu casually agreed.

However, he understood that this was likely the other's scheme. They were expecting him to be the one to take action when necessary.

He couldn't figure out what the opponent's real intentions were.

But, he wouldn't be so easily fooled.

Continuing to move forward, they soon arrived at the Evil Ghost Camp.

Even from a long distance away, Xiao Mu could easily sense a powerful aura in the camp.

As expected, there were violet Blood Demons and even red Blood Demons within the camp. In the face of such power, a confrontation should be avoided.

Madman Chu, who was familiar with the layout of the Evil Ghost Camp, led the group around the camp and towards the rear without any trouble.

Using a hidden path, they arrived behind a black cliff filled with an evil aura.

A solid black door marked with dripping blood was set in the smooth cliff face.

The door emanated a strong evil aura. The black, sticky blood dripping from it seemed to come from another world, giving off a nauseating stench.

"My friend."

Standing in front of the door, Madman Chu turned and looked at Xiao Mu, "This door leads to the Evil Ghost's treasury. Once this door is opened, you simply follow the corridor inside to reach the treasury."

"Is that so?"

Xiao Mu replied noncommittally, eyeing the dark door.

The black door seemed to be tinged with a hint of red, clearly hiding a formidable evil power.

Upon closer examination, he saw a red, evil light seeping through the black door, signifying that the evil energy had taken form.

Remarkable!

Xiao Mu was secretly alarmed.

This level of evil energy could blind ordinary people with a single glance.

Moreover, the door should not be touched carelessly. Even a mutated being who touched it would likely be infected with the evil energy.

If infected, one would either be injured or die.

At the very least, it would weaken one's life essence.

At the same time, Xiao Mu noticed that there were three blood-red handprints on the evil red door.

These three handprints were evenly spaced about twenty centimeters apart at the height of an adult man.

From these handprints, an even more intense evil aura was being emitted, causing frost to form in the surrounding air and making it difficult to breathe.

Meanwhile, Xiao Mu noticed that there was something extremely strange hidden within these three handprints, something evil and bizarre, as if ready to choose its prey and devour them at any moment.

These three handprints obviously couldn't be touched lightly, else one would have to endure the evil absurdity attack behind the handprints.

"Friend."

Madman Chu continued, "Did you see these three handprints?"

Xiao Mu nodded.

With the three handprints so apparent, it would be odd not to see them.

Madman Chu explained, "These three handprints are the mechanism to open the hidden door. Three individuals need to place their palms on these handprints simultaneously, inputting power together to open the hidden door."

"Friend, did you not promise earlier to do your best if something came up?"

Xiao Mu nodded again.

He indeed promised that he would lend a hand if something did arise.

Madman Chu was pleased, "With the strength you possess, friend, it will be much easier if you help."

"Of the three of us, excluding you, friend, two more from us, me and Master Hong can participate. Do you have any objections, friend?"

"They're trying to trick you."

Before Xiao Mu could answer, he was warned by the voice carrying the Yue again as Madman Chu spoke.

"Those three handprints are indeed the switch to open the secret door, but they were meant for us, the evil ghosts."

"Inside the hidden door, a millennium-old Evil Infant soul is sealed."

"The original power of the Evil Infant is on par with me. But after being sealed, only the evil power remained while all other power was discarded. Now, the evil power of this Evil Infant is comparable to that of a dark purple Blood Demon."

"The Evil Infant has the ability to distinguish whether the palm placed on it belongs to a human or one of us, evil ghosts."

"Upon encountering a human, it will actively attack, infusing the evil power into the victim's body."

"They must have mastered a special technique, unafraid of the attack of evil power from the Evil Infant."

"You must be careful. They are setting you up. It would be best if you don't lend a hand."

A millennium-old Evil Infant?

They possess special techniques that make them immune to the Evil Infant's attack?

Hearing Yue's words, Xiao Mu couldn't help but glance at Madman Chu and Master Hong.

After Madman Chu proposed, he was clearly preparing, unknowingly concentrating his strength in his hands.

A faint purple-gold glow radiated from both his hands.

Purple Gold Buddha Palm!

Yes!

Xiao Mu suddenly thought of something.

Madman Chu must be extremely confident in his cultivation of the Purple Gold Buddha Palm. Believing his Purple Gold Buddha Palm could block the Evil Infant's evil power attack, he dared to make such a suggestion.

Madman Chu noticed Xiao Mu observing his palms.

With a faint smile, he quietly dissolved his power.

The purple-gold glow faded away and Madman Chu's palms returned to normal.

This act further reaffirmed Xiao Mu's suspicion.

It appeared that Madman Chu dared to place his palm on the handprint because he was certain of his cultivation of the Purple Gold Buddha Palm.

He then couldn't help but turn to Master Hong.

Master Hong also seemed to be full of power, faintly releasing a golden light.

This was Buddha Light, and astonishingly, weak Buddhist sounds were emitting from him.

Buddhist Power?

Xiao Mu had long speculated that the other party was cultivating something related to Buddhism. This discovery further confirmed his previous conjecture.

Master Hong likely didn't just cultivate normal Buddhist art, but rather an art related to the Golden Body of Buddhism.

So, this was their reliance: one had the Purple Gold Buddha Palm, and the other had Buddhist Power. The two relied on these to resist the Evil Infant's attack.

Having realized this, Xiao Mu couldn't help but smile.

"Alright, I agree."

While agreeing, he secretly held something in his hand.

If they had something to rely on, so did he.

Moreover, what he relied on was much more useful against evil absurdities compared to them.

In dealing with ghosts, they had clearly chosen the wrong opponent if they were to go against Taoism.
