Very likely!

Xiao Mu and Zhao Yan exchanged glances, both thinking that Wang Tong's speculation was very likely.

Otherwise, it would be too coincidental that several martial artists were fighting a group of evil ghosts, and Xiao Mu had just found traces of a special dark purple Blood Demon nearby.

Seeing their expressions, Wang Tong guessed something and directly asked, "If it really happened to be like that, what would we do?"

Zhao Yan looked towards Xiao Mu.

Xiao Mu thought for a moment, "We'll see."

It's just a dark purple Blood Demon, even if it's a special existence, killing it wouldn't necessarily bring him many benefits.

Moreover, in terms of Energy Points, it's highly likely he'd get the same amount as from a regular dark purple Blood Demon.

Therefore, Xiao Mu didn't absolutely need to find and kill this special dark purple Blood Demon.

To stir up senseless enmity for the sake of a single dark purple Blood Demon was not a wise move for Xiao Mu.

"Let's go, move on."

After signaling, the two vehicles went forward.

The terrain became increasingly steep.

After the World Mutation, Qiwu Mountain, which had become larger, looked more like a plateau that had mountains rising on top of it.

Now, the location where Xiao Mu and his group were in was similar to a plateau. As the terrain got more steep, they had actually climbed onto a mutated small hill.

"This energy..."

Even from a considerable distance, whether it was Xiao Mu, Wang Tong, or Zhao Yan, they all felt an abnormal energy on top of the mutated small hill.

This energy was too peculiar, carrying a strong spiritual energy, giving one a feeling of being in an Immortal land.

However, in reality, what the three of them saw was far from an unparalleled scenery. Instead, the small hill gave off a sense of desolation and ruin, to be specific, it was a ruin.

A ruin is made by destruction.

Where there are ruined ruins, there are bound to be ancient relics underground.

This small hill was radiating spiritual energy precisely because it was originally a ruin.

Perhaps the ancient relics buried underground underwent a mutation, releasing spiritual energy which gave the trio the impression of being in an Immortal land.

This caused all three of them to involuntarily reveal expressions of surprise.

They were actually already familiar with sites of ruins and knew that being in such places, one could not only speed up their cultivation, but also find various strange fruits.

Due to the mutation, ruins are the easiest places for various strange fruits to grow. Some large-scale ruins even have strange fruit trees, where the entire tree has mutated and continuously produces exotic fruits.

Furthermore, the spiritual energy released from the ground can cause other objects to mutate.

The large amounts of mutated objects possessed by the evil ghosts and zombies are largely due to them occupying various powerful ruins.

Suddenly, the sound of a car came from behind. Xiao Mu and the others moved slightly to the side.

Several off-road vehicles carrying people passed by them. Xiao Mu casually glanced and saw that there were many people in the vehicles, including Mutated Beings and normal humans.

The young female Mutated Being driver in the leading vehicle even waved to Xiao Mu and the others and greeted them.

"What are they up to?"

As he watched several vehicles passing by them, Wang Tong's face was full of confusion and incomprehension.

When the cars had passed by a moment ago, he had carefully observed. At the rear of the off-road vehicles was a large truck.

Though the truck was closed, it was undeniably carrying various supplies in it. This could be deduced from the marks left by the truck.

Xiao Mu shook his head and Zhao Yan looked thoughtful.

What these people driving past were up to was something they couldn't understand for the moment.

"Let's go."

Xiao Mu signaled and they continued on.

"Halt!"

On the hillside, by the roadside, two Early Stage Mutated Beings from the Third Realm suddenly appeared, stopping them from proceeding further.

"Friends, what's the meaning of this? Why are you stopping us?"

Wang Tong's face darkened as he stepped forward and asked in a displeased tone.

These two interceptors, upon recognizing Wang Tong, then turned to Xiao Mu and Zhao Yan, and finally to the Ghost Servant driving the Yin Wind Carriage, their faces couldn't help but change.

They couldn't tell the strength of these three humans and one ghost.

This implied that the strength of these three humans and one ghost far exceeded theirs.

However, although their faces changed slightly, in the end, they weren't overly afraid, still standing in the way. Gazing at Wang Tong, the martial artist with the knife casually explained, "My friend, we have taken possession of this place. If you are not wanting to join us, please go elsewhere."

"Taken possession?"

Wang Tong was taken aback.

Xiao Mu and Zhao Yan exchanged glances, surprise showing on their faces.

It seemed that the traces of the battle between the martial artists and the evil ghosts they found earlier were left by these people.

They had defeated the evil ghosts, and taken over these ruins.

Regarding the group they had encountered at the roadside earlier, young female Mutated Beings leading several vehicles up the mountain, they were obviously transporting various supplies.

From the looks of it, these people were planning to establish a base here after taking over this place.

"Excuse me, can we ask which team are you from? Who is your leader?"

Xiao Mu stepped forward and asked politely.

As the Earth Seal holder of Nanke City, the stronger the Mutated Being in the city was, the better it was for him.

It would mean that these powerful Mutated Beings would be better able to resist the evil ghosts.

By resisting the evil ghosts and keeping Nanke City safe, the power of the Earth Seal could be enhanced.

In a way, the strength of the Earth Seal was closely related to the prosperity of Nanke City.

If all the humans in Nanke City were killed by evil ghosts, the Earth Seal would become meaningless.

Since Xiao Mu had already merged the Earth Seal into the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor, in a sense, the situation in Nanke City also further affected the power of the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor.

For this reason, Xiao Mu didn't mind the strength of the Mutated Beings in Nanke City being formidable; the stronger these Mutated Beings were, the more benefits he, as the Earth Seal holder, could get.

Although the ordinary Mutated Beings were his competitors in grabbing resources, they were not his enemies.

Furthermore, there was an overwhelming number of absurd forces on Qiwu Mountain. Relying solely on Xiao Mu's forces, he really wouldn't be able to counter the absurd forces without the assistance of other Mutated Beings.

Therefore, in most cases, when encountering Mutated Beings, Xiao Mu would still prefer to cooperate.

Of course, if the other party harbored malicious intentions, it was another matter.

"We're not a team, we're the Red Nether Association."

Seeing that Xiao Mu spoke politely, the knife-carrying martial artist answered patiently, "Our Association's President is Red Nether Child. You guys are very strong. If you would like to join our Red Nether Association, I can notify our President."

Red Nether Association? Red Nether Child?

Xiao Mu and the others looked at each other, for this was evidently a newly emerged faction and character of whom they had never heard before.
