"One hundred energy fruits, you're willing to give them to me?"

Xiao Mu looked surprised.

One hundred energy fruits was no small sum, and yet the Ghost Princess was speaking of giving them away as if it was nothing at all.

The Ghost Princess laughed and said, "A mere hundred energy fruits mean nothing to me. However, I will only be able to give them to you after we acquire the Scripture of God Transformation."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Mu heaved a sigh of disappointment.

No wonder she was the princess of the Evil Ghost Clan. She was indeed wealthy and generous, not even batting an eye at a hundred energy fruits.

"Well, let me thank you in advance."

Xiao Mu casually said his thanks.

It seemed that the Ghost Princess didn't think much of giving away a hundred energy fruits, merely nodding slightly in reply.

"Congratulations to the princess for killing the Qinglin Variant and obtaining the treasure."

A group of ghosts serving the Ghost Princess came forward, bowing and offering their congratulations immediately upon seeing her.

"Congratulations to Mr. Xiao for achieving great success!"

Liu Du followed at the back, keeping a distance from the group of ghosts, maintaining caution. When he reached Xiao Mu, he offered his congratulations.

"Now that I have obtained the Life Mirror, Xiao Mu and I will head to the ancient land of the City God Temple. You all wait here, do not roam around randomly. Just wait for my safe return."

The Ghost Princess ordered the group of ghosts.

Red Eye, an evil ghost, voiced his concern, "The City God Temple is extremely dangerous. How can the princess go alone? We should go along with you. In case of any accidents, we can cover your retreat."

The Ghost Princess dismissed his concern, "With the strength of this princess, and the fact that I am cooperating with Xiao Mu, what kind of accident could possibly occur?"

"Just Xiao Mu's assistance is enough for me. You guys, with your level of strength, would only drag me down and be of no help at all. It's better for you to stay here."

Seeing Red Eye was about to argue, the Ghost Princess swiftly interrupted him, "I have made my decision, no more discussion."

"Yes, your minions wish to congratulate the princess on her imminent victory."

Red Eye dared not argue further, leading the rest of the ghosts in prematurely offering their congratulations to the Ghost Princess.

"Liu Du."

Xiao Mu called Liu Du over, "I have other business to attend to, so I can't join you in searching for the energy fruit."

"You can act on your own from now on, and I will contact you again when I return."

Liu Du quickly replied, "No matter what Mr. Xiao wants to do, I will be waiting for your successful return and looking forward to your contact."

From his cooperation with Xiao Mu, he had also reaped quite a few energy fruits, enough for him to break through to Peak Perfection.

After parting with Xiao Mu, he planned to find a place to attempt the breakthrough immediately.

Otherwise, with his current strength at the late-stage of the Fourth Realm, his chances of surviving this Energy Fruit Task were low. If he ran into a powerful enemy, he could well be killed.

Soon after, Xiao Mu and the Ghost Princess parted ways with Liu Du and the group of ghosts. Under the Ghost Princess's lead, they set off towards the City God Temple.

Both Xiao Mu's Fire Dragon Vehicle and the Ghost Princess's Evil Spirit Skeleton Warhorse were incredibly fast. After three days of travelling at such high speed, they arrived at the location of the City God Temple.

"Chase him, we can't let him escape!"

Zhou Shenmu was disheveled and bleeding. Of the five people in his team, he was the only one remaining. He was fleeing for his life while being chased by a group of more than ten Qinglin variants.

Among the Qinglin variants chasing Zhou Shenmu, there were three mutants at the Peak Perfection stage. With this sort of strength, they were definitely a formidable force.

"Zhou Shenmu, stop running. As long as you agree to join our Qinglin variant tribe, I'll spare your life."

The leading Blue Double-horned Qinglin Variant shouted in a loud voice without slowing down, leading his comrades to pursue Zhou Shenmu relentlessly.

"You're delusional! Don't you know who Zhou Shenmu is? I would never defect to your Qinglin variant tribe. Just give up."

Zhou Shenmu sneered and rebutted the Qinglin variant's proposition. Suddenly, a piece of yellow-green striped wood appeared in his hand. He casually shook it, and the wood instantly caught fire, emitting a faint green flame.

Bang!

Zhou Shenmu tossed the yellow-green wood into the air, and it transformed into a fury of fire falling down upon him.

His entire body was enveloped by the green flame, turning him into a man of fire.

Whoosh!

His flames seemed to possess some special power. The moment they enveloped Zhou Shenmu, his speed dramatically increased. He bolted towards the distance, quickly outpacing the Qinglin variants behind him until he was out of sight.

"Darn it!"

The color drained from the face of the blue-horned Qinglin variant. "Zhou Shenmu has burned a piece of his lifebound treasure, the Divine Wood, to greatly increase his speed. After him!"

On hearing this, the Qinglin variants pushed their speed to the limit, chasing after Zhou Shenmu desperately.

"Congratulations to the young master on his successful breakthrough!"

Within the Sea of Blood, the ancient coffin that had sunk to the bottom slowly resurfaced, amidst the worship of a group of zombies.

The coffin lid lifted, and the master of the Zombie Clan slowly sat up, a strange look of joy appearing on his stiff face.

After ten days, he had completely absorbed the three drops of Corpse King blood. His body exuded a horrifying aura, his strength nearly matching a Fifth Realm master.

"Boom!"

The zombie lord stood upright, taking a single step, teleporting to the shore of the Sea of Blood in an instant.

Crack!

He clenched his hand, producing a sound like an explosion from the terrifying force in his palm.
