"Zhao Yan, what exactly has happened to you?"

Xiao Mu couldn't help but ask as he caught up with Zhao Yan.

The situation with Zhao Yan was too bizarre, which he found hard to comprehend.

He'd cultivated the Dao Method Spiritual Energy, forging a pair of Spiritual Eyes specifically to penetrate evil absurdities.

Yet what he failed to discover, surprisingly Zhao Yan had found, which left him incredulous.

Zhao Yan smiled slightly. She knew Xiao Mu wouldn't rest until she explained. Hence, she patiently clarified, "Some time ago, I acquired a mutated version of a detective-themed book and acquired the Detective Eyes after studying it."

A detective-themed book?

And Detective Eyes?

Xiao Mu was at a loss for words.

The World Mutation had caused a wide variety of books to mutate. No matter what type of book one could think of or not, they all appeared.

This also explained why Zhao Yan could spot what he couldn't. She had cultivated the Detective Eyes.

"Let's continue forward. The Ghost camp should not be far ahead."

After explaining, Zhao Yan urged them to move on.

Therefore, the three of them quickened their pace and continued their journey, led by Zhao Yan.

"Hehe."

After a while, Zhao Yan suddenly laughed and pointed forward to Xiao Mu.

She pointed to a withered old tree.

The trunk was robust, with a diameter of over a meter, standing there, desolate and wilted.

Xiao Mu understood. Zhao Yan was telling him that the Ghost's secret agent was hiding inside that tree.

This Ghost's agent had evidently concealed himself using some special method, even suppressing the Ghost Qi. Had Zhao Yan not pointed it out, Xiao Mu would have missed it entirely.

Xiao Mu turned his head and signaled his Ghost Servant.

The Ghost Servant didn't hesitate and lunged forward, brandishing the Soul Blade and took a swipe at the withered tree.

Boom!

The withered tree was cut off and fell in an instant.

"Ah~"

A green Blood Demon, filled with shock, jumped out of the fallen withered tree.

Realizing it was no match for Xiao Mu and his comrades, this green Blood Demon had no intention of fighting. As soon as it jumped out of the withered tree, it immediately attempted to flee.

It transformed into a ghost mist, swiftly trying to escape into the distance.

"Stop it. Don't kill it!"

Zhao Yan yelled.

"Hehe."

Without waiting for Xiao Mu's orders, the Ghost Servant brandished the Soul Blade, hastened a blow, and blocked the green Blood Demon's escape route.

"I'll fight you all!"

Unable to flee, the green Blood Demon roared and turned around, prepared to resist to the last.

Thump!

The Ghost Servant didn't hesitate and took another swipe.

That was a typical swipe, without emitting Blade Aura or erupting Blade Formation.

However, the Ghost Servant's strength was far superior to the green Blood Demon. With one slash, the green Blood Demon was unable to dodge and got injured on the spot with a significant energy loss.

"Ah~"

The green Blood Demon cried in agony as it fell to the ground.

"Don't kill it. We still have questions to ask."

Zhao Yan attempted to stop the Ghost Servant, afraid that the green Blood Demon would be killed.

"I'm up!"

Xiao Mu cast out a Suppressing Evil Talisman. With a flash of golden light, it hit the green Blood Demon, instantly sealing it.

In this way, there was no need to worry about the green Blood Demon escaping.

"Speak, where is your camp? Who or what is in the camp? How many Blood Demons are there, and are there any Curse Ghosts? Is there a scout named Zhao Jingyuan, and did you capture him?"

Xiao Mu stepped on the green Blood Demon and asked a series of questions.

"Human, you won't learn anything from me."

The green Blood Demon looked ferocious and glared menacingly at Xiao Mu.

"Oh really? If you're not scared of being tortured, then don't speak!"

Xiao Mu sneered. A surge of Xuanmen Zhenggang's Dao Method Spiritual Energy rose from the soles of his feet, rushing directly into the body of the evil ghost.

"Ah~"

As an evil ghost, it was naturally restrained by the righteousness of the human world. As Xiao Mu's Dao Method Spiritual Energy flooded in, the evil ghost was instantly subjected to extreme torture, plunged into boundless pain.

It howled in agony, black ghost blood flowing out of its seven orifices.

"Speak, if you don't, I'll kill you right here."

Xiao Mu threatened.

"Haha!"

The evil ghost burst into a crazy laugh, "Go ahead and kill me, even if you do, I won't speak. Human, you will learn nothing from me."

This evil ghost was obviously stubborn, remaining silent despite enduring extreme torture.

Xiao Mu's face darkened and he put more force into his foot, injecting more Dao Method Spiritual Energy into the body of the evil ghost.

"Ah~"

The green blood demon was in extreme pain, but it only groaned, holding back words and refusing to beg for mercy.

Xiao Mu was helpless - this was the first time he had encountered such a stubborn evil ghost.

"Mu, let me try."

Zhao Yan suddenly spoke.

"You?"

Xiao Mu was taken aback, looking at Zhao Yan, "You have a useful method?"

Zhao Yan nodded with a smile while her gaze swept across the green blood demon, then she said with a smile, "Not long ago, I got a Mutated Evil Weapon which is highly effective against evil ghosts."

"A Mutated Evil Weapon?"

Xiao Mu looked puzzled at Zhao Yan.

"It's an ancient execution knife."

Zhao Yan spoke while pulling out a small knife.

The knife was less than a foot long, looking like a dagger with a rusted blade, obviously very old.

But because it mutated, the knife carried a strong killing intent.

This execution knife had obviously been used to execute many people.

The aura of killing was dense, a strong smell of blood emanating from the blade. Any ordinary person who smelled it would undoubtedly choke and faint.

The knife had a deterrent power that made one's heart tremble in fear.

"See this knife?"

Zhao Yan took out the execution knife and waved it in front of the green blood demon, her expression gentle and smiling.

"Woman, you want to kill, just do it, you want to scrape, scrape. You think I'll be afraid?"

The green blood demon showed a fearful face due to the execution knife's strong deterrent power.

The knife appeared ordinary but exuded a menacing aura that frightened it.

"I'm not going to kill you."

Zhao Yan gave a slight smile to the green blood demon and then patiently explained to it the power of the execution knife, "You probably don't know the power of this knife. You believe that as a spirit, even if your arm is cut off, or your head is severed, they can all grow back, right?"

"So what if it is?"

The green blood demon remained defiant, rebutting Zhao Yan's statement.

"That would be the case if you were cut with a normal knife, but not with this one."

Upon saying this, Zhao Yan's face suddenly darkened, and she tossed the execution knife to Wang Tong, "Wang Tong, you're up."

"Just my luck, every time I'm with you two, not only do I have to endure your lovey-dovey act, but I also have to do all the dirty and hard work."

Wang Tong caught the execution knife with a laugh and a casual complaint.

Turning to the green blood demon, "Hey! Now I'm going to have to experiment on you. I'll cut you with this knife and let you see if you can grow back."

With that said, he quickly slashed down, cutting a piece of flesh from the green blood demon's thigh.

"Ah~"

Black ghost blood flowed from the cut on the thigh of the green blood demon, and it let out a painful howl.

The next moment, its expression changed.

Just as Zhao Yan said - as a spirit, even if its head was cut off, it could grow back, though it would seriously damage its spiritual energy.

But now, having been cut by Wang Tong with the execution knife, it had truly lost a part of its leg, which did not grow back at all.
