"Xiao Mu, even if I die, I won't let you off easily."

Ghost Words roared furiously, hysterical in his anger. He released countless resentments from the Ghost Face Banner, disregarding the undead surrounding him, and attacked Xiao Mu.

He was on the brink of despair, determined to drag Xiao Mu down with him.

"Wishful thinking!"

Xiao Mu flicked the Door-God Painting in front of him. Golden rays of light blocked the Ghost Face Banner, preventing it from falling.

The undead swarmed Ghost Words, gnawing ferociously at his body.

In just a moment, Ghost Words was devoured by the undead and met an untimely death.

With Ghost Words' death, an odd iron box dropped from his body onto the ground.

Simultaneously, the Ghost Face Banner, which was connected to the life and death of Ghost Words, also became ineffective. It was grabbed and pulled into the Earth Seal Space by Xiao Mu.

A few dozen undead surrounded Xiao Mu.

"Get lost!"

Xiao Mu launched the Taichi Thunder Gang Diagram. The spinning black and white diagram scattered the undead around him.

At the same time, Xiao Mu threw the Door-God Painting over himself and chose to charge ahead on the Fire Dragon Vehicle.

"Boom!"

The Fire Dragon Vehicle forcefully created a path through the undead. Xiao Mu quickly bent down, picked up the iron box dropped by Ghost Words, and pressed on.

"Roar~"

The undead roared furiously, coming at Xiao Mu from all around, attempting to hold him back.

Crack!

Xiao Mu waved out rows of Thunder Symbols.

Using the Thunder Transformation Technique, the symbols metamorphosed into the Eye of Thunder, casting a ray of light and triggering a thunderbolt.

The thunderbolt plunged into the undead crowd, killing numerous undead.

Power +4, Power +3, Power...

The sound of energy points accumulating gave Xiao Mu a thrill of excitement, but it was not the time to care about such things. King Yuan was quickly destroying the Sky-catching Net and would soon catch up. There was no time left to escape.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Xiao Mu released the Xuanfeng Needles.

He deployed all kinds of tactics, even re-releasing the Ghost Servants who wielded the Soul Blade to protect him.

Unfortunately, the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor had been invaded by the cycle of life and death and was temporarily unusable. Otherwise, it would be much easier for Xiao Mu to charge through the Undead Swamp.

Even so, under the collaboration of the Xuanfeng Needles, Door-God Painting, and Taichi Thunder Gang Diagram, Xiao Mu quickly broke through the encirclement of undead and left the Undead Swamp.

After leaving the Undead Swamp, he faced the Ghostly Mud.

The Ghostly Mud had also seen battle. Mr. Jian had forcefully charged through, killing a large number of ghosts.

Seeing Xiao Mu, the ghosts, who had just let Mr. Jian go, howled and rushed towards Xiao Mu. They dared not let Xiao Mu escape, behaving as if they were fighting for their lives, determined to hold Xiao Mu back.

Boom!

Xiao Mu, holding the Door-God Painting, shook it fiercely. The towering painting was like an unstoppable giant wall of water, immediately driving the ghosts away.

Humm!

The Taichi Thunder Gang Diagram then appeared, slashing through the bodies of the ghosts.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

The Xuanfeng Needles flew, like the announcement of death sentence, piercing one ghost after another, causing their deaths.

Power +3, Power +4, Power +20...

The abundance of energy points didn't bring him joy; all Xiao Mu wanted was to escape from King Yuan's temple as quickly as possible.

A few minutes later, the Fire Dragon Vehicle successfully crashed through the last ghost, and Xiao Mu reached the edge of the Resentment Fog.

Xiao Mu withdrew the Door-God Painting and wrapped it around himself before forcing his way through the fog.

Mr. Jian had impeccably timed his escape route through the Resentment Fog.

Without any hesitation, Xiao Mu dashed out of the fog.

Boom!

Finally, the Fire Dragon Vehicle burst out of the fog.

"Xiao Mu, is that you?"

Waiting outside the Resentment Fog, Mr. Jian was surprised to see Xiao Mu.

He did not expect Xiao Mu to be the one to escape in the end.

"What about the others?"

Incredulous, Mr. Jian casually asked Xiao Mu about the whereabouts of Ghost Words and the others.

"They died in King Yuan's temple, killed by Life-Death cycles."

Xiao Mu casually responded, making up a reason.

"So that's how it is!"

Mr. Jian looked deeply at Xiao Mu, more shocked than before.

Xiao Mu had actually killed Ghost Words and the others, such power left him astounded and almost disbelieving.

"King Yuan's temple was too dangerous. Those with weak powers should never have come. Their demise... well, it was just destiny. They can't blame anyone else."

Mr. Jian, as if it was nothing, motioned for Xiao Mu to leave.

He stayed here originally to see who would come out alive in the end, and then go submit the task together.

In fact, for him, it did not matter who survived; he just never expected it to be Xiao Mu.

He had thought that Xiao Mu would definitely be no match for Ghost Words and the others and would definitely be killed in King Yuan's temple.

The reversal of events left Mr. Jian momentarily unable to adapt.

However, he had no intention of getting involved in things that were none of his business, so he calmly signaled Xiao Mu to leave.

After leaving King Yuan's Temple, the two took a helicopter, then switched to a commercial airplane. A few days later, they successfully returned to the Alliance Headquarters at Broken Truth Mountain.

Upon returning to the Alliance Headquarters, they first submitted their task. Both he and Xiao Mu each received fifteen Energy Fruits.

As for the deaths of Ghost Words and the others, no one cared to inquire further. In tasks, who can guarantee no deaths?

Having obtained the Energy Fruits, Xiao Mu immediately sought out Extreme Night.

Now that he had acquired the Yang Ling grass, he needed Extreme Night to seal the Demonic Curse Mark for him.

Upon reaching Extreme Night's Cave Mansion, he relayed his message. Zhu Jin appeared and let Xiao Mu in, "Xiao Mu, the commander is waiting for you. Come in with me."
