"Human, you just wait for my good news."

Xiao Mu said full of confidence.

"Since that is the case, I won't disturb you any longer. Ha-ha, I wish you success, and I wish for my own success too. I hope we can both succeed."

Xiao Mu patted Xiao Mu's shoulder again and quickly walked away.

As soon as Xiao Mu left, Xiao Mu fell into deep thought yet again.

Despite his determination, he remained somewhat worried. If he weren't careful and was discovered, he would surely have no place to stay among the evil ghosts.

However, thinking about the huge benefits promised by Xiao Mu, which meant getting more than four energy fruits at once, he gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

Seek wealth in danger. I'll take the risk!

The energy fruits are not only rare resources for humans but also for evil ghosts. For ordinary evil ghosts like him, where would they usually get the power to enjoy energy fruits and use them to increase their strength?

Now, it is a golden opportunity.

Soon, he took out something similar to a communication device and contacted Chen.

Soon, the conversation was connected, and a sinister voice came from the communicator, "Lei? I asked you to probe the humans' news, why are you suddenly contacting me?"

There was a hint of displeasure in the voice. He didn't like being abruptly contacted by Xiao Mu.

After hearing this, Xiao Mu shivered subconsciously.

As a superior being, Chen, an evil blood demon at his peak, had significant influence over him. But soon, he calmed down and reported to Chen, "Lord Chen, something's wrong. The Dongye Ghost Clan has been spotted."

"The Dongye Ghost Clan, how is that possible? How could they appear here?"

Chen's tone revealed his disbelief.

The Dongye Ghost Clan should not have appeared in this area under normal circumstances.

Evil ghosts also had territorial consciousness. Since this place had already been occupied by their Chihuo Ghost Clan, the Dongye Ghost Clan should not have come.

"I don't know either."

Xiao Mu hurriedly defended himself and then explained, "Qi is leading the Dongye Ghost Clan. They suddenly appeared here. It seems to have something to do with the Energy Fruit Tree. The Dongye Ghost Clan appears to have discovered our Energy Fruit Tree and knows that it was already occupied by humans. They plan to take this opportunity to seize the lead and take it back."

"Take the lead and rob it from the hands of humans? How could this be!"

Chen was furious.

To take it back from the hands of humans was obviously to catch them off guard.

Between ghosts, there were agreements. The Dongye Ghost Clan shouldn't randomly seize treasures from them, but taking it from humans didn't violate the agreement.

Who asked them to fail to protect the Energy Fruit Tree and let it be taken away by humans?

Thus, even if the Dongye Ghost Clan took this opportunity and grabbed the Energy Fruit Tree under this circumstance, they couldn't blame them for anything.

Chen, who obviously knew Qi, burst into anger and said, "Wait for me, I'll be there right away. I must ask Qi face-to-face about why they are seizing the opportunity to rob."

"Lord Chen, hurry up. If you're late, the Energy Fruit Tree might be occupied by Qi and the others."

Xiao Mu 'kindly' reminded.

With a grunt, Chen retorted angrily, "How dare they!"

Xiao Mu didn't keep the conversation going and added, "Lord Chen, when you come, it's better to bring the elites of our clan to prevent any accidents. The Dongye Ghost Clan has many aces. In addition to Qi itself, there's also a purple blood ghost and two red blood ghosts."

"Humph! Do I still need your reminder?"

Chen said to Xiao Mu unhappily, but he was secretly on guard.

If Qi suddenly appeared here with so many subordinates, it wouldn't be a big deal if they didn't intend to take the Energy Fruit Tree. But if they did intend to do so, Chen wouldn't be a match for them alone.

For caution's sake, he decided to take Xiao Mu's advice and bring the elites of his clan.

Others than Chen, he decided to bring another early-stage purple blood ghost and two red blood ghosts to make sure their strength is comparable to Qi's.

Only in this way, could he speak with confidence and deter the opponent.

After hanging up the communicator, after a moment of rest, Xiao Mu got another communicator and contacted Qi.

"Who are you?"

A cold voice came through, Qi obviously didn't know Xiao Mu.

"Lord Qi, I am Chen, I work under General Ming."

Xiao Mu introduced himself, using the identity of another evil ghost.

After all, as a lowly ghost object, Qi would not remember him.

"Chen? Under Ming?"

Qi couldn't remember who this Chen was and was somewhat hesitant.

"Yes, Lord Qi, do you remember the wedding banquet of Lord Jiu in Wujin City? You were seated in the third room as a distinguished guest, and I was the waiter in that room."

Xiao Mu brought up the past to deepen Qi's impression.

"Oh!"

Qi still couldn't remember who he was, but he was no longer suspicious of his identity.

"What do you want?"

"Lord Qi, are you currently near the 13th ruins in zone E of Qiwu Mountain?"

Xiao Mu promptly asked another question.

"How did you know?"

Upon hearing this, Qi was very surprised.

"It's terrible!"

Xiao Mu feigned panic, "Lord Qi, that area is the territory of the Chihuo Ghost Clan. According to reliable information, Chen of the Chihuo Ghost Clan knows that you've appeared there and is already leading a group to capture you."

"What? How is that possible?"

Qi was taken aback, his first reaction was utter disbelief, "Does the Chihuo Ghost Clan want to start a war with us? How dare they lead a group to capture me?"

"Lord Qi, I know you don't believe me. But the Chihuo Ghost Clan is already prepared. As soon as you appear, they will directly take action. Please be careful."

Xiao Mu reminded once again, with worry.

"That's ridiculous!"

Qi was outraged, still not entirely believing, but he became alert nonetheless, "If the Chihuo Ghost Clan really dare to do so, don't blame us for going to war. Where did you get this information."

Qi became suspicious and inquired about the source of the information.

"Lord, you should know that we have spies within the Chihuo Ghost Clan. The information I have comes from our spy. In any case, please be careful."

Xiao Mu seriously cautioned.

"I see, once I meet the Chihuo Ghost Clan, I will argue with them."

Qi agreed, but he still didn't believe that the Chihuo Ghost Clan really dared to make a move against him.

"Lord, I will continue to monitor the movements of the Chihuo Ghost Clan. If there are any new developments, I will inform you immediately."

Xiao Mu said earnestly.

"Hmm, you're doing well. If there are indeed other movements, remember to notify me immediately."

Qi encouraged him.

After hanging up the communicator, after resting for a while, Xiao Mu contacted Xiao Mu again. He soon found out from Xiao Mu that Qi had already arrived and was heading towards them.

Originally, the purpose of Qi's appearance here was to pursue and kill Xiao Mu.

After finding out about Qi's path and movements, Xiao Mu summoned a guard. In the guard's confusion, he suddenly made a move and killed the guard with one strike.

Then, he contacted Chen again, "It's terrible, Lord Chen, Qi found our guard and brazenly took action, killing the guard."
