"Who is it? Do you know who killed Zhang Yang?"

Xiao Mu sharply picked up on something in Lei Shun's tone.

Lei Shun's face was a mask of pain, he shook his head and surprisingly tried to dissuade Xiao Mu, "Mr. Xiao, I think you should really stay out of this."

"Why shouldn't I intervene?"

Xiao Mu was somewhat annoyed.

Given the powerful evil power from the wooden plaque, it was clear that it was intertwined with some formidable wicked entity.

For Xiao Mu, this was a good opportunity to acquire Energy Points.

Yet Lei Shun urged him to avoid involving himself.

Leaving aside that Xiao Mu wasn't planning to give up this golden chance to acquire Energy Points.

The fact that Lei Shun, himself, was adopting this stance, felt incomprehensible to Xiao Mu.

Aren't humans and Evil Absurdities supposed to be locked in a battle to the death? So why, when Lei Shun first saw this wooden plaque, his initial reaction was fear, followed by evasion?

This highly uncharacteristic behavior left Xiao Mu completely baffled.

"Ah!"

Lei Shun sighed, he cast a complex look at Xiao Mu, appearing to want to say something and then holding back.

Xiao Mu sneered coldly, "As a Mutated Being, you're terrified like this in the face of an Evil Absurdity?"

His voice was filled with contempt, showing no deference to Lei Shun.

In comparison to Qing Songzi, a fellow city's leading figure, Lei Shun lacked courage significantly.

If Qing Songzi faced such a situation, she would certainly not show such apprehension.

An ephemeral anger passed over Lei Shun's face, but he was obviously infuriated by Xiao Mu's words, only to choose to remain patient once again.

He sighed, then sneered, "Ha! You speak with such righteous indignation that it makes people shudder. After understanding the situation, you might turn around and run."

"There's a hidden meaning in your words."

The harsh tone of Lei Shun stung a bit, leaving Xiao Mu somewhat irritated, "If you can't explain clearly, you'd better not leave, and remain in this villa with your friend."

The threatening undertone in his words was very apparent, if Lei Shun dared to mock him and didn't explain himself clearly, Xiao Mu wouldn't mind killing him.

"Ha!"

Lei Shun sneered coldly, he was not the least bit intimidated by Xiao Mu's threatening words and even gave Xiao Mu a scornful look.

"The gaze you're giving me is quite detestable. Let me teach you a lesson!"

Xiao Mu waved his hand casually, generating a wild wind. Lei Shun was hurled out on the spot, heavily colliding with the wall, leaving a hole in the shape of a human in the cement wall.

Lei Shun struggled to his feet, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth. It was clear he suffered considerable injuries.

"Speak!"

Xiao Mu ordered angrily.

"Since you insist on knowing, I will go ahead and reveal it."

Lei Shun steeled himself, his face filled with resolve, "This little wooden plaque belongs to the Land God of Wu family village."

"Your March City still has a Land God?"

Xiao Mu was first struck by the oddity, then soon realized something was wrong, his face sank, "No, you're lying, how could it be a real Land God?"

In the present Mortal World, divine spirits such as the land gods certainly wouldn't appear, even if they were of a lower level.

"Of course, there's no Land God."

Lei Shun shook his head again, his face relaxed as he sat down leisurely on the sofa, pouring himself a cup of water to drink.

Xiao Mu watch him coldly without stopping him.

After drinking the cup of water, Lei Shun continued, "This so-called Land God, is actually an Evil Ghost. This ghost is incredibly powerful, it seized the Land God Temple of Wu family village and enjoyed offerings of incense."

A disbelief appeared on Xiao Mu's face, "You're worshipping a Curse Ghost?"

"Do you find it strange, senior?"

Lei Shun looked at Xiao Mu with a peculiar expression, seeming to be unable to understand the reason for Xiao Mu's question.

"Don't you know the harm that worshipping a Curse Ghost brings? Every person who offers incense to it loses their luck, at best suffering a severe impact on their vitality and reduced lifespan, at worst losing their life immediately."

Xiao Mu's expression was solemn.

The harm from worshipping the Curse Ghost was far more than this.

In fact, these ill effects were only evident on those who would offer worship to the Curse Ghost. Furthermore, daily worship and offerings would only make the Curse Ghost stronger.

A strengthened Curse Ghost would cause even greater harm.

This was a snowball effect. The more it was worshipped, the more harm it would bring to humans.

"So what if we know?"

A bitter helplessness appeared on Lei Shun's face.

Xiao Mu interrogated coldly, "Since you know, why don't you destroy the temple, smash its Sculpted Image, and extinguish its Incense Fire?"

Lei Shun's face took on a strange color, he glanced at Xiao Mu in surprise, and suddenly asked, "Senior, do you think we should destroy its temple?"

Isn't it obvious?

Xiao Mu was about to answer.

Then he realized that the question was so naive. The World Mutation had been going on for so long, every person should clearly understand this basic knowledge.

In that case, why did Lei Shun have to ask him about it?

As the person in charge of March City, he certainly couldn't be ignorant of this reasoning.

Subconsciously glancing at Lei Shun, Xiao Mu keenly noticed a hint of cunning in the other's eyes.

"You want to use me?"

Xiao Mu's face instantly turned dark.

Although he was not clear about Lei Shun's intentions, this method, combined with the expression on Lei Shun's face, undoubtedly indicated that he was trying to use Xiao Mu.

This realization filled Xiao Mu with anger.

Since he had accepted the task to come to March City and deal with the Earth Seal Disappearance Event, he didn't mind intervening in the cases of evil absurdity in March City.

However, if someone wanted to use this as an opportunity to exploit him, that was unacceptable. When facing such people, Xiao Mu wouldn't hesitate teaching them a lesson.

With a wave of his hand, Lei Shun was sent flying once again, crashing into the wall and falling heavily to the ground.

"Cough, cough!"

Lei Shun struggled to get up, coughing continuously, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.

He begged Xiao Mu for mercy, "I, Lei Shun, was wrong. Please forgive me, senior!"

Xiao Mu coldly stated, "Speak up. And if there's a next time, don't blame me for not being courteous. Now, tell me about this Land God Temple worshipping the Curse Ghost."

"So you really don't know the reason."

Lei Shun looked at Xiao Mu in surprise.

Xiao Mu said, "Could it be that everyone knows about the Land God Temple of March City?"

Lei Shun replied, "Perhaps it's not known by everyone, but among the Alliance higher-ups, quite a few people know."

He glanced at Xiao Mu, "Senior, it's curious that you're here to investigate the Earth Seal Disappearance, yet you're unaware of the situation with the March City Land God Temple."

Xiao Mu explained casually, "I've only recently broken through, recently joined the Alliance, so I don't know much about the internal affairs of the Alliance."

Lei Shun finally understood, "No wonder senior doesn't know about the March City Land God Temple, you only recently broke through. May I ask which race you belong to?"

He asked with extreme politeness.

Because some beings, after attaining Dao, are very concerned about their origin, and do not wish others to know about it.

Xiao Mu clearly wasn't among them, "I am just like you, human."

"What? You... are human?"

Lei Shun pointed at Xiao Mu, his face full of disbelief, his curiosity completely replaced by shock.

He couldn't believe that Xiao Mu, like himself, was human.

Has a Fourth Realm powerhouse emerged among humans?
