Hum! Hum! Hum!

Xiao Mu's cellphone vibrated all of a sudden.

Upon checking it, there was a message from Zhao Yan: Mu, what are you doing?

Following that, a new message popped up from Wang Tong: Boss Mu, where are you?

Seeing these messages, Xiao Mu was slightly thrilled. It had been quite a while since he last chatted with Zhao Yan and the others. He instantly responded: "I'm just about to head into Qiwu Mountain, care to join?"

"Of course."

Wang Tong replied without a shred of hesitation.

"Wait for me!"

The message from Zhao Yan arrived.

"Hurry up!"

Xiao Mu sent them the location and waited for them to arrive.

In just over an hour, Wang Tong and Zhao Yan showed up in their individual cars.

"The two of you…"

Xiao Mu was flabbergasted at the sight of Wang Tong and Zhao Yan, it was inconceivable, "How did your strengths improve so much?"

In the short time since they'd last met, Wang Tong and Zhao Yan had shown significant improvement.

Both of them were now in the Late Third Realm, equally as powerful as Xiao Mu.

This left Xiao Mu bewildered, their growth had been incredibly rapid recently.

"Haha!"

Wang Tong laughed, looking mysterious as he turned to Zhao Yan.

Zhao Yan smiled calmly, speaking nonchalantly, "We recently encountered several inexplicable incidents, which led to a tremendous increase in our power."

Inexplicable incidents?

Zhao Yan made it sound so simple, but Xiao Mu was rendered speechless.

This was certainly not achievements gotten from 'several inexplicable incidents,' he couldn't help but ask, "You didn't raid an Evils Ghost's or a Curse Ghost's nest, did you?"

Zhao Yan and Wang Tong both looked surprised, their faces unreadable.

Xiao Mu knew immediately that his guess was right, he asked in shock: "Seriously? Which Curse Ghost or Corpse General's nest did you guys take down?"

"It's a bit complicated, we'll talk about it after things calm down."

Zhao Yan brushed over the topic, then asked Xiao Mu, "Mu, why heading to Qiwu Mountain?"

Xiao Mu stated his purpose of going to Qiwu Mountain.

He had two objectives for going there: one was to kill Evil Ghosts and accumulate Energy Points; the other was to head towards the R-zone and save Zhao Jingyuan along the way.

"A rescue mission?"

Zhao Yan fell into contemplation upon hearing that, "I'll join you."

"Count me in too,"

Wang Tong instantly followed.

"Let's go together then,"

Xiao Mu, of course, wouldn't reject their goodwill.

Moreover, considering that they were both in the Late Third Realm, just like him, he didn't need to worry about them being a burden. Hence, he gladly accepted.

Qing Songzi arranged for a helicopter to take the trio to Qiwu Mountain. Once they reached R-zone, the trio was dropped off.

This was the Evil Ghost Area, where Evil Ghosts could be encountered anywhere. The helicopter headed back straightaway after dropping them off.

"There should be an Evil Ghost Camp around here. Let's look around."

Xiao Mu suggested and promptly released his Ghost Servant.

Next, he ordered the Ghost Servant, who then conjured the Yin Wind Carriage and drove it forward to scout.

Zhao Yan seemed to have prior experience, "If the Evil Ghost Camp is around, scouts would definitely be deployed in its vicinity.".

While talking, she scanned around as if she was searching for something.

Soon she concluded, "It's not around here. Hmm, the terrain to the right seems more dangerous and rugged, with traces of Evil Ghost movements. Let's head to the right."

With that, she launched her body technique and headed to the right first.

She had an Electric Attribute Mutation, making her movements incredibly fast. As she unleashed her body technique, she swiftly morphed into a silver lightning bolt and covered a few tens of meters in the blink of an eye.

"What the heck?"

What had just transpired left Xiao Mu completely stunned.

How did Zhao Yan come to this judgement?

How did she know the Evil Ghost Camp was towards the right?

Xiao Mu thought to himself, he had deliberately observed just now but hadn't found anything, despite his Spiritual Eye that he had cultivated from the Xuanmen Zhenggang.

Although the Electric Attribute Mutation made Zhao Yan more sensitive, her ability to detect supernatural events should in no way surpass Xiao Mu's.

At this point, Zhao Yan's behavior seemed abnormal to Xiao Mu.

With that thought, he instinctively turned to look at Wang Tong.

Wang Tong obviously knew what Xiao Mu was thinking, raised his hands helplessly and said with a bitter smile, "Boss Mu, don't look at me like that, Zhao Yan has changed a lot recently. She's much more powerful than before."

"Otherwise, do you think we would have been able to discover the Corpse General's camp, let alone take it all in one fell swoop?"

"You discovered a Corpse General's camp? And you took it out all at once?"

Even though he had guessed that Zhao Yan and Wang Tong must have wiped out the camp of a Corpse General or a Curse Ghost, hearing it confirmed by Wang Tong still elicited a distinct reaction in Xiao Mu.

"Ahem!"

Xiao Mu coughed awkwardly and explained, "This was all due to your girl, Zhao Yan."

"Hey! Aren't you guys coming?"

Zhao Yan, noticing that the two weren't following, stopped and called out to them.

"Did Zhao Yan have another special encounter?"

Xiao Mu couldn't help but ask.

Whether it was the conclusions she had drawn earlier or Wang Tong's so-called discovery of the Corpse General's camp, without another special encounter, the Zhao Yan he knew couldn't have done it.

"Haha, Boss Mu, you should ask these questions to your beloved Zhao Yan. I don't know much either."

Wang Tong gave Xiao Mu a strange smile.

"You, you..."

Xiao Mu rolled his eyes in exasperation. From Wang Tong's expression, he knew he was laughing at him for not knowing what had happened to his girlfriend.

But it wasn't his fault, he had been busy with Alliance matters lately and had neglected Zhao Yan, leading to less contact between them.

Boom!

The Ghost Servant came back driving the Yin Wind Carriage.

"Let's go!"

Xiao Mu swooped up, grabbed hold of the Yin Wind Carriage and instructed the Ghost Servant.

The Ghost Servant immediately drove the Carriage to catch up with Zhao Yan.

"Ah! Wait for me! Boss Mu, at least take me with you."

Wang Tong panicked when he saw Xiao Mu leaving without him. This was definitely Xiao Mu taking revenge for his mocking comments.

"You can walk."

Xiao Mu replied.

He indeed wanted to retaliate against Wang Tong.

This guy clearly knew what happened to his girlfriend, but he deliberately kept it from him.

"Shameless!"

Wang Tong roared and suddenly chased after Xiao Mu.

Although his speed couldn't compare to that of the Yin Wind Carriage, he created multiple illusions with his speed, which was faster than a human's perception.

"This..."

Watching this scene, Xiao Mu was once again surprised.

In fact, WangTong's strength had also increased significantly. Just by displaying his current movement techniques, it was something Xiao Mu had never seen Wang Tong do before.

"What kind of technique is this?"

Xiao Mu asked in surprise.

"Haha! This is Meteor Chasing Moonstep, one of the finest techniques. Boss Mu, isn't it awesome?"

Wang Tong was smug, even daring to tease Xiao Mu.

"Have you ever heard of acting smug and getting struck by lightning? Be careful not to trip and fall."

Xiao Mu calmly replied.

"It's a clear sky, where's the lightning coming from?"

Wang Tong laughed off his warning, speeding up to overtake Xiao Mu.

"Who says there isn't?"

Xiao Mu suddenly pointed to the sky and quietly released his Thunder Symbol.

Crack!

A bolt of lightning suddenly appeared, striking the ground in front of Wang Tong.

Caught off guard by the sudden lightning, Wang Tong was startled and tumbled down while running.

"Haha! Retribution!"

Laughing loudly, Xiao Mu urged the Ghost Servant to move forward.

"Boss Mu, you tricked me! Don't you dare leave, I'm not done with you!"

Wang Tong hollered and chased after them.
