"I am Shi Zhongjian. What should I call you, fellow Daoist?"

The man casually introduced himself and asked Xiao Mu.

"Xiao Mu."

Xiao Mu casually said his own name.

"No wonder you have broken through the Fourth Realm, you are the mayor of Nanke City."

Shi Zhongjian immediately revealed Xiao Mu's identity, took a few deep looks at him, his face showing a look of sudden realization.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Mu couldn't help but feel a tug at his heart.

The name of this Shi Zhongjian should have some relevance to his origin.

He just didn't expect that he, as a fourth realm strongman, had been monitoring him.

"If Mr. Xiao doesn't mind, shall I take you to the Alliance for registration?"

Shi Zhongjian turned his head to ask Xiao Mu's opinion.

"That works."

Xiao Mu nodded in agreement.

He had originally planned to go to the headquarters of the Alliance for registration after selling the things. Now that he no longer needed to sell the things, it wouldn't hurt to go ahead with the registration.

"Has Mr. Xiao been to the Alliance headquarters before?"

Shi Zhongjian asked again.

"I haven't been there yet."

Xiao Mu shook his head.

"At this registration, Mr. Xiao will have a chance to see it."

Shi Zhongjian was still smiling.

The two of them left the hall, took a car to an airport, and then took a dedicated airplane out of Nanke City.

Three days later, the plane landed at another airport.

Xiao Mu opened the navigation to confirm the location, he asked Shi Zhongjian in surprise, "This is Luo City?"

Shi Zhongjian explained with a smile, "Mr. Xiao is correct, this is indeed Luo City. In ancient times, Luo City was known as the center of the world, making it the most suitable place for our Alliance's headquarters."

The two of them then took a very comfortable off-road business car.

The car drove straight into a big mountain.

Xiao Mu deliberately checked it on the map and was surprised to find that there were no details of this big mountain on the map.

Obviously, this big mountain had suddenly emerged after the global mutation.

Driven by curiosity, Xiao Mu looked at the big mountain through the car window.

The big mountain was massive and incredibly high. Especially the main peak in the middle, it directly pierced into the cloud layer that made its peak invisible.

The off-road vehicle stopped at the foot of the main peak.

Shi Zhongjian waved Xiao Mu out of the car, gave him a slight smile, "Now that Mr. Xiao has broken through the Fourth Realm, I suppose your strength is still quite good. Please try to keep up with me, and if you can't keep up, feel free to let me know."

After speaking, he didn't wait for Xiao Mu's response, and he turned into a green shadow, leading the way up the mountain.

The main peak was extremely steep, almost vertical with the ground, but he was able to move freely on it, seemingly unaffected by the terrain.

Xiao Mu showed a faint smile on his face.

This Shi Zhongjian obviously intended to test his strength.

As a Daoist cultivator, before mastering various escape arts, his agility was not as good as a martial artist's.

Fortunately, Xiao Mu had the Fire Dragon Vehicle, driving this treasure could let his speed be no less than an ordinary fourth realm Mutated Being.

Especially after breaking through, he had once again mutated the Fire Dragon Vehicle.

The current Fire Dragon Vehicle's speed could nearly match a fifth realm powerhouse.

Releasing the Fire Dragon Vehicle and leaped on.

Upon inputting the Daoist law, two fire dragons directly emerged from the patterns on both sides of the vehicle. Along with furious roars, two huge balls of fire sprayed out, pulling Xiao Mu and rushing towards the peak of the mountain.

Very soon, he had closed the distance with Shi Zhongjian.

Seeing this, Shi Zhongjian slowed down, "I didn't expect Mr. Xiao to have such a powerful treasure, seems I've made a fool of myself."

"You're too kind."

Xiao Mu modestly replied.

"The top of the mountain is where the Alliance's headquarters is located. This mountain only appeared after the mutation, and we call it Broken Truth Mountain, with the main peak referred to as Broken Truth Peak."

Shi Zhongjian pointed up and casually introduced.

After more than an hour, the two finally reached the top of the mountain, and Xiao Mu got to see the so-called Alliance headquarters as expected.

This Alliance headquarters was actually a huge grand hall, stretching across the Reincarnation Peak, much like a massive city in the sky.

This kind of phenomena deeply shocked Xiao Mu.

"Mr. Xiao, please follow me."

Shi Zhongjian was still leading the way, guiding Xiao Mu towards the grand hall.

"By the way, Mr. Xiao."

As if suddenly thinking of something, Shi Zhongjian asked Xiao Mu a question. It sounded casual, but his expression was filled with poorly concealed seriousness. "Do you think there is a possibility for us to coexist peacefully with the evil absurdities?"

"Coexist peacefully?"

Xiao Mu was surprised, then he promptly stated, "Evil Ghosts, Zombies, they kill a large number of humans every day, causing chaos in this world. How could we possibly coexist peacefully with them?"

Shi Zhongjian gave a faint smile, seemingly satisfied with his answer, then continued: "In fact, the evil absurdities only pose a threat to ordinary humans. They don't pose any threat to us who are at the Fourth Realm."

"Even so, peaceful coexistence is impossible."

Xiao Mu's tone was still resolute.

Setting aside what could be called benevolence toward all humans, just the fact of harvesting energy points by killing these evil absurdities made him believe there was absolutely no room for compromise between him and these creatures.

Where would he gather energy points required for his transformation if he didn't kill these evil ghosts and zombies?

"Hehe"

Shi Zhongjian laughed, then continued, "Suppose there are even more formidable evil creatures that pose a threat to us, to the Evil Ghosts, to the Zombies or even to the Greenfin Clan, do you think we should put aside our prejudice and join forces with them?"

"Fearsome evil creatures?"

Xiao Mu had a thought.

Shi Zhongjian's words reminded him of the demon he had once encountered.

"I'm just assuming."

Shi Zhongjian smiled, "But if such formidable evil creatures exist, do you think we should put aside our prejudice, Mr. Xiao?"

"Evil ghosts, zombies, or even the Greenfin Clan, continue to threaten ordinary people and harm them, but they pose no threat to us."

"Under these circumstances, do you think we should sacrifice ordinary humans, let go of our prejudice, and cooperate with these evil absurdities?"

On hearing these words, Xiao Mu felt a chill in his heart.

Shi Zhongjian's words were definitely not said without thought.

After looking at Shi Zhongjian, Xiao Mu's tone was still firm, "Mr. Shi, don't forget, I belong to humanity as well."

"Haha!"

He laughed heartily at Xiao Mu's reply, patted Xiao Mu on the shoulder, and his attitude seemed to grow warmer.

"Why did you ask such questions, Mr. Shi? Could it be that there are different opinions within the alliance? Does someone think that we should put aside our prejudice, sacrifice ordinary humans, and work with these evil absurdities?"

Xiao Mu was full of confusion and couldn't help but ask.

Shi Zhongjian casually replied: "Not everyone in the alliance has a positive outlook on humans. Mr. Xiao, being a human, naturally sees humans as inviolable. But what about those who have no connection with humans? Or those who have been bullied by humans? Supposedly, there's a Divine Phoenix who was a domestic chicken before attaining Dao — its owner was about to kill it for meat. Do they have an obligation to serve humanity?"

This statement sent a chill down Xiao Mu's spine once again.

The internal situation of the human's Offensive and Defensive Alliance seemed to be quite complicated.
