"This person has a strong physical ability, and he's adept at hiding and tracking."

After quietly observing for a while, Xiao Mu drew a conclusion.

Zhao Yan concealed her figure, making sure they were not discovered, and then turned to observe. Under her Detective Eyes, a new discovery was quickly made, "That person is hiding by using a stone for cover, about one hundred and fifty meters behind us."

Xiao Mu sent out a Ghost Servant, "Stealthily move closer and investigate who exactly is trailing us, and bring back a picture. Be careful not to get caught."

Having said that, he took out his cellphone and handed it over to the Ghost Servant.

"Yes, Master."

The Ghost Servant accepted the phone, his figure becoming faint, and quickly disappeared, heading in the direction of the tracker.

Before long, the Ghost Servant returned and handed the phone back to Xiao Mu, reporting on his findings.

"Let's see who this person is."

Xiao Mu opened up his cellphone and checked the picture the Ghost Servant had just taken.

Upon seeing it, he was shocked, "It's him!"

The man in the photo taken by the Ghost Servant was a robust male, also a martial artist.

In actuality, they had all seen this man, as he was the one who had driven them out not long ago.

"It's really the Red Nether Association's people, what on earth are they planning?"

Zhao Yan's expression had darkened.

It was one thing for the Red Nether Association's people to refuse cooperation and drive them away, but it was another thing for them to follow them afterward.

This behavior infuriated her.

"Are they afraid that we will harm them? Are they guilty, fearing our return to take their Energy Fruit Tree?"

Wang Tong sneered.

"I'm afraid it's not that simple."

Xiao Mu shook his head.

If they were merely fearing harm from him, the Red Nether Association probably wouldn't resort to this.

Moreover, the counterattacking force of the Evil Ghosts was strong, the Red Nether Association certainly wasn't ignorant of this. They should also understand that with their level of power, they might not be able to protect their Energy Fruit Tree during the onslaught of the Evil Ghosts.

Given these circumstances, why are they still refusing to cooperate with him and his party? Why are they driving them away?

This behavior in itself was worth questioning.

"It seems that the Red Nether Association has other plans."

Xiao Mu gave a cold laugh.

The act of driving them away and sending people to follow them implies tracking rather than monitoring.

But if it is tracking, what does the Red Nether Association intend to do?

Why would they want to track them?

Why are they driving them away yet afraid of them leaving?

Do they intend to harm them?

If the Red Nether Association wants to cause harm under the counterattack of the Evil Ghosts, wouldn't that be foolish?

The situation isn't as simple as it seems, there must be another reason. Could it be...

They intend to harm them on behalf of another party? Is the Red Nether Association just an accomplice?

"Mu, what should we do? Should we kill him?"

Killing intent flashed across Zhao Yan's face.

With their combined power, killing the stalking robust man would be a piece of cake.

The man had just broken through to the late stage of the Third Realm, and was still in the early stage of this phase.

On their side, however, any one of the three humans and one ghost was capable of killing him.

Therefore, as soon as Zhao Yan opened her mouth, she decided to kill the opponent.

"Let me think."

Xiao Mu contemplated, then shook his head with a smile on his face after a moment, "No need!"

While Zhao Yan and Wang Tong were still confused, he explained, "The Red Nether Association doesn't dare to provoke us while in conflict with the Evil Ghost, apparently, this stalking must be related to a third party."

"A third party?"

Zhao Yan and Wang Tong were both stunned.

Xiao Mu nodded, "This Red Nether Association is clearly stalking us for this third party. And this third party must have a feud with us."

Zhao Yan and Wang Tong were stunned again.

Xiao Mu continued, "The reason the Red Nether Association sent someone to follow us is that they must have already informed this third party and are waiting for them to arrive, worrying that if we get lost, they'll have difficulties explaining."

"Who can this third party be who has a feud with us?"

Zhao Yan pondered, but she could not figure out who these so-called third parties that had a feud with them could be.

During the long period of World Mutation, while they did have some enemies, they had never had any true mortal enemies. Hearing Xiao Mu mention a third party with feud, it was hard for her to think who it could be.

Xiao Mu fell into silence.

This third-party holding a grudge could very well be related to him alone.

Among those who had a feud with him, he thought of Chu Bawang, Chen Yanming, and even the Evil Ghost, but was unable to determine who it was.

Zhao Yan wondered, "But what does this have to do with whether or not to kill this stalker?"

Xiao Mu laughed and explained, "Do you think, with our strength, we can handle the Evil Ghost?"

Zhao Yan and Wang Tong thought for a moment, then quickly shook their heads.

The power of the Evil Ghost was too enormous. Unless taken down one by one, a Purple Blood Demon at its peak, a Late Third Realm, and an Early Stage, let alone four Red Blood Demons, would be too powerful for them to handle even if divided.

"That's right."

Xiao Mu's smile remained, apparently having a plan, "The Evil Ghost is so powerful that we are no match for them, while the third party that dares to pursue and kill us must consider their strength not inferior to ours, otherwise they would not dare to chase us."

"That makes sense."

Zhao Yan and Wang Tong thought about it and it indeed seemed to be the case.

If they considered their power to be less than theirs, where would this so-called third party find the courage to pursue and kill them?

"So, I'm planning to create an opportunity for the third party that's hunting us to fight with the Evil Ghost first."

"Getting them to fight with the Evil Ghost might not be that easy, right?"

From Xiao Mu's words, Zhao Yan deduced that Xiao Mu planned to exploit the third party to incite a conflict between them and the Evil Ghosts, pitting the two sides against each other, exhausting each other's strength, and reaping the benefits of their strife.

"Yeah, Boss Mu, Zhao Yan is right. Although we still don't know who this third party is, it seems like it really won't be easy to provoke them into fighting with the Evil Ghosts."

Wang Tong also chimed in, and it was obvious that he did not have much confidence in Xiao Mu's proposal.

"Is that so?"

Xiao Mu gave a slight smile, revealing a hint of confidence on his face.

He recalled the Blue Blood Ghost Saber he had encountered not long ago.

If he hadn't encountered the Saber, he wouldn't dare to have such a plan.

But since he had encountered the Saber, and it also happened to be a scout from the Evil Ghosts, all he needed to do was use it well, and it wouldn't be difficult to incite a conflict between the third party and the Evil Ghosts.

As for the Red Nether Association, hasn't the Evil Ghosts divide their forces?

A Purple Blood Demon at the Late Third Realm, coupled with other Evil Ghosts, would definitely be enough for the Red Nether Association to handle.

Otherwise, under the situation where the Evil Ghosts weren't being restrained at all, and all of the Evil Ghosts, including the Purple Blood Demon at its peak, those at the Late and Early stages, and four Red Blood Demons, were attacking the Red Nether Association at the same time.

Under such a powerful attack, the Red Nether Association would have no chance of resisting, even with their help.

If a third party could restrain some of the power of the Evil Ghosts while the Red Nether Association was resisting the intrusion of the Purple Blood Demon, Xiao Mu and his team could take advantage of the situation to take the Energy Fruit Tree.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to handle the strength of the third party with a grudge, the Evil Ghosts, and the Red Nether Association all at the same time. No matter how strong they were now, even if they doubled their current strength, they still wouldn't be able to do it.
