Xiao Mu hadn't expected Chen Ruoyu to question him, but he didn't mind Chen Ruoyu's attitude towards him.

Suddenly, he looked at Chen Ruoyu's side, his face slightly changing.

Not only was the Evil Array established, but it was also mutating rapidly, spreading quickly.

In a split second, everyone here could be trapped by the Array.

"Why? Friend, can't speak anymore?"

Chen Ruoyu smirked, noticing Xiao Mu's facial shift, mistaking the other party's fear of him as intimidation due to his own supremacy.

"If you're this timid, you should speak less to avoid troubles for yourself."

The words reached Xiao Mu, causing an odd smile to grace his features. He didn't expect Chen Ruoyu to misinterpret his change in expression due to the transformation of the Evil Array, thinking it was because Xiao Mu was afraid of him.

This outcome, he found intolerable.

He sighed, "Not to mention protecting others, now, I fear you can't even protect yourself."

"What?"

Chen Ruoyu's face was full of disbelief as if he had heard the most absurd thing in the world, "Friend, did I hear it wrong? Are you really saying that I can't even protect myself?"

Xiao Mu's face became severe, "Yes, you can't protect yourself."

"Haha!"

Chen Ruoyu burst into laughter, feeling it ridiculously amusing, "Just now, I killed a red Blood Demon with a single move, unarmed. You're saying I can't even protect myself? Haha! Absurd!"

"Alas! Some people can't do it themselves, so they think others can't either."

The middle-aged woman with triangular eyes chimed in to mock, standing by Chen Ruoyu's side.

She had disliked Xiao Mu from the start. Since joining the team, he had always tried to undercut them, even inciting fear among the party.

She had guessed Xiao Mu's intention early on; wasn't it just to scare the others off so he could claim the treasures of the Taoist Temple Ruins alone?

A mutant with Three Heads and Six Arms chimed in, equally mocking Xiao Mu, "My friend, you probably don't know the level of skill in the Shadowless Divine Claw. With Mr. Chen's power and his command of such an excellent martial art, even if he encounters a purple-black Blood Demon, he can resist a bit, buying time for everyone to escape. Yet, you claim he can't protect himself? Ha! What sheer ignorance."

"There's nothing to say to such a person. He's just trying to scare us off so he can take all the treasures here on his own."

The middle-aged woman with triangular eyes glared sharply at Xiao Mu, thinking she had exposed the truth.

"Hey!"

Chen Yanli couldn't stand it anymore and spoke up, "Could you please stop making baseless accusations? Mr. Xiao is correct, this room does not feel normal at all, don't you feel it?"

"Miss Chen is right."

Zhu Zhenping immediately added, "This room is getting more and more abnormal. Initially, I felt just a bit uncomfortable, but now, I am starting to shiver."

"There must be something wicked here, I propose we leave immediately."

"Absurd!"

Chen Ruoyu glared displeasedly at Chen Yanli and Zhu Zhenping, and coldly rebuked, "I see that you are in this together. Your intention is probably the same, scaring us off so you can monopolize the benefits here, right?"

"Yes, that must be it. Hmph, if you want to leave, then leave. We have no plans of going anywhere."

The middle-aged woman with triangular eyes stared in annoyance at Chen Ruoyu and Zhu Zhenping.

"Mr. Xiao."

Chen Yanli looked at Xiao Mu, "Shall we leave?"

Unable to get their point across, she decided to give up explaining further, intending to call Xia Mu and leave together.

It wasn't that she was particularly fond of Xiao Mu, but she cared about the Jade Buddha Technique in his hands. The top-notch Buddhist Cultivation Method was extremely important to her.

"Yes, Mr. Mu, if some people want to stay here and get killed, then let them stay. Let's leave on our own."

Zhu Zhenping also advised Xiao Mu.

"It's too late!"

Xiao Mu shook his head slightly.

He had never planned on leaving. Now, having stalled until now, it was already too late to leave.

With his insight, he could see many changes that others couldn't. The Treasure Vault room had changed utterly.

"What?"

Chen Yanli's expression changed.

She was shocked by Xiao Mu's words on the spot.

Zhu Zhenping's expression also changed, "It's too late?"

With this, he was ready to run. However, he had only moved one step before he felt difficulty, his body seemed to be tied up by some inexplicable power, making it hard to move.

"How... how can this be?"

Zhu Zhenping was terrified, his voice trembling.

"Heh, still trying to scare us?"

Chen Ruoyu sneered, his expression full of disdain.

"You really think you can scare us away by putting on a show?"

The triangle-eyed middle-aged woman looked at him contemptuously.

"Mr. Xiao, why... why is this happening?"

Chen Yanli was very flustered, she too had noticed something wrong, she was tied up just like Zhu Zhenping, unable to move.

As for Chen Ruoyu and the middle-aged woman's sarcasm, she had no mind to deal with it now.

"It's an Array, the Array is activated!"

Xiao Mu explained, only his spiritual eyes were able to see clearly.

"Array? Still trying to fool us? Even now, you still trying to deceive us?"

The Transcendent with three heads and six arms scoffed.

"Array, Mr. Xiao, why... why can't we see it?"

Chen Yanli was panic-stricken, her face full of helplessness.

"Because it's all fake!"

The triangle-eyed middle-aged woman looked smug, "Who can't put on a show?"

Xiao Mu finally looked annoyed, coldly glaring at the triangle-eyed middle-aged woman.

The middle-aged woman was intimidated by his momentum, and immediately got the chills.

However, the next moment, after glancing at Chen Ruoyu, this middle-aged woman's courage suddenly bolstered, thinking that with Chen Ruoyu backing her, there was no need to fear anyone, she muttered, "Scaring me? Do you think I'm easily scared?"

"Haha!"

Chen Ruoyu upon seeing this, added a touch of smugness in his heart, "Mr. Xiao, we all understand, no need for this mystification, you know you can't scare us, so why waste the effort? Don't you feel tired?"

"Really?"

Xiao Mu glanced at him coldly, but he didn't pick up on his provocation, nor did he bother to continue the conversation.

He had reminded them what he needed to, whether they believe it or not, he had no obligation to save anyone, if they want to court death, then let them be.

Then, he reached out and took out an Advanced Exorcism Talisman.

This was an advanced exorcism talisman, more powerful than regular exorcism talismans.

As soon as he took out this talisman, everyone, including Chen Ruoyu, Chen Yanli, Zhu Zhenping and even the middle-aged woman, were slightly shocked.

"Exorcism Talisman!"

However, Xiao Mu's Exorcism Talisman was clearly different from ordinary talismans, shining with golden light, it looked incredibly powerful.

This powerful Exorcism Talisman made the hearts of Chen Ruoyu and others tremble.

However, Xiao Mu clearly didn't bother with them, he took out the Exorcism Talisman and threw it directly into the air.

With a flash of golden light, the power of the Exorcism Talisman spread out instantly, covering the entire room.

In an instant, the scene in the room changed.

This place was no longer a room, but more like a ghastly Chaotic Burial Ground, surrounded by eerie, black Execution Stakes exuding an aura of death.

Black Gas was emerging from the Execution Stakes, this Black Gas seemed tangible, like ropes hooking souls, extending from the Execution Stakes, binding everyone's ankles, making it difficult for them to move.

"Ahh!"

The sudden eerie change scared everyone, the triangle-eyed middle-aged woman was so scared that she fainted on the spot.
