Xiao Mu was silent.

The distribution of spoils of war should indeed be in accordance with personal contribution. Unfair distribution will ultimately breed resentment.

Wang Tong chuckled bitterly, looking at Xiao Mu, carefully negotiating, "Master, I know you are superior. But, isn't one-to-nine a bit too much? What about changing it to two-to-eight?"

Xiao Mu pondered for a while, "That's fine. However, when you encounter the Blood Demon, you must immediately charge forward as shields, even if it means death, you should never retreat. If you dare to run away, I will kill you first."

Upon hearing this, cold sweat trickled down Wang Tong's forehead. He chuckled bitterly again, "Seems like Energy Crystals aren't easily earned. One-tenth of the Energy Crystals requires risking life... However... "

Clenching his teeth and steeling his heart, he said, "Fortunes come with danger. Let's do it!"

Immediately after, he shook his head, displaying a troubled look as he turned to Xiao Mu, "Master, I'm not trying to be negative, but with my level of strength, even if I risk my life, it's uncertain whether I can hold off the Blood Demon."

"Don't worry, I have a method for you to withstand the Blood Demon."

Glancing at Wang Tong, a hint of appreciation unconsciously crept into Xiao Mu's eyes. If Wang Tong had balked in fear, he would have lost respect for him.

Resources are limited, everyone wants to obtain Energy Crystals and stand out in the competition with others. How could one succeed without risking their life?

"Well then, that's good."

A relieved Wang Tong said, "Master, my car is parked outside the park. Shall we go together in my car?"

"Where is this Blood Demon you speak of?"

Inside the car, Xiao Mu finally asked.

With one hand on the steering wheel, Wang Tong asked Xiao Mu while driving, "Master, you know about West City Girls' School, right?"

Xiao Mu nodded.

West City Girls' School was a renowned location in Nanke City. How could he not know about it?

However, a few years ago, when the school closed, West City Girls' School was abandoned and turned into ruins.

Before the World Mutation, the nearest residence to the school wasn't too far away. However, after the World Mutation, the nearest residence was probably several kilometers away.

The current location of West City Girls' School was undoubtedly remote.

The arise of a Blood Demon in such a secluded area made sense.

As expected, Wang Tong's expression turned solemn, "The Blood Demon is in West City Girls' School."

"Oh!"

Xiao Mu questioned, "How did you find out about the Blood Demon at West City Girls' School? Besides you, does anyone else know about it?"

Wang Tong hesitated for a moment, then said, "There is one more person, a woman. She was my exploration partner at West City Girls' School."

After a pause, he added, "That woman, another friend, and I teamed up to explore West City Girls' School. We originally aimed to find ghosts and malicious spirits, but we encountered the Blood Demon instead. The other friend died, and the woman and I escaped."

"Oh!"

Xiao Mu's eyes flashed with a divine light, but he didn't speak.

Wang Tong's strength was only at the stage of Qi Refining and Blood Integration, and the strengths of his two friends were likely to be around the same stage. Three people at this stage naturally wouldn't be a match for a Blood Demon.

If the three of them had all reached the late stage of Qi Refining, Blood Integration, and had all cultivated extremely yang and unyielding inner energy methods and martial skills, they might have stood a chance.

In the end, the fact that Wang Tong and the other woman could escape, with only one person dying, was already something to celebrate.

Considering the strength of the Blood Demon, killing three people of mid-stage Qi Refining level without any special means was not a problem at all.

Tian Wu Wang and Qiao Feng's strength was around this stage, and yet they were both killed in a single blow.

"Will that woman bring others to West City Girls' School like you?"

Xiao Mu immediately followed up with another question.

This was his greatest concern. If the woman Wang Tong mentioned also brought people back to West City Girls' School, the competitive pressure would be intense.

What he feared most was that the woman might reach there too quickly. By the time he and Wang Tong arrived, the Blood Demon might have already been killed by the woman's team.

Wang Tong shook his head slightly, "Not likely. As soon as I returned home, I immediately started searching for people. I was lucky to meet you, master. She wouldn't be able to gather people as quickly as I did."

As for these words, Xiao Mu had serious doubts. If Wang Tong could find him, then that woman could find others.

Fretting about it now was futile. If he were to arrive at West City Girls' School and found that the Blood Demon had been killed already, he would be unable to reverse the outcome. For now, he could only hope that he and Wang Tong could arrive before the woman.

Suddenly remembering something, Wang Tong asked, "By the way, master, I still don't know how to address you."

Xiao Mu gave his pseudonym again, "You can call me Mr. Mu."

"Mr. Mu?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Tong was startled. He instantly hit the brakes, turned his head, and stared at Xiao Mu, "Mr. Mu, are you that Mr. Mu?"

Xiao Mu casually replied, "If there isn't a namesake, I suppose I am the person you are referring to."

After giving Xiao Mu a deep look, a surprised expression flickered across Wang Tong's face. Quickly, the smile returned, "So, you are Mr. Mu, no wonder you proposed a one-to-nine split. I wasn't satisfied at that time, but now I realize, giving me one-tenth is probably a bit too generous on your part."

With a triumphant expression,"Getting to fight the Blood Demon and earn Energy Crystals with the famous Mr. Mu from the Hero Rankings seems like a sure thing."

Upon finishing, Wang Tong's face beamed with joy, and his mood significantly lightened.

Before, when Xiao Mu mentioned the appearance of the Blood Demon, he told him to immediately hold the front line. Although he agreed, he was filled with worry in his heart.

The strength of the Blood Demon far surpassed his own. He wouldn't be able to hold off the Blood Demon just by relying on courage and recklessness.

Although Xiao Mu had said that he had a method to help him resist the Blood Demon, Wang Tong was still uneasy since he didn't know what this method was.

Now, upon learning that Xiao Mu turned out to be Mr. Mu who could independently kill a Blood Demon in the Hero Rankings, his mood had become lighter immediately.

In his view, since Xiao Mu was capable of killing a Blood Demon single-handedly, killing the Blood Demon in West City Girls' School was surely a simple task.

Noticing the change in Wang Tong's expression, Xiao Mu couldn't help but shake his head.

Wang Tong was obviously seeing things too simply.

Currently, killing a Blood Demon wasn't much of a challenge for Xiao Mu. After stepping into the late Spirit Communication Realm, and possessing the stronger magical implements Peach Wood Sword and Thunder Pattern Sword, he wouldn't even need to use three Fire Talismans overlaid 'Anger Flame - Burn' when encountering a Blood Demon again. With just a regular Fire Talisman in combination with the Peach Wood Sword, he could kill a Blood Demon.

The problem was that his head-on confrontation ability was still weak. Unless he set up a trap formation beforehand to ensnare the Blood Demon, if they encountered each other in an open space, he still needed someone up front as a temporary blockage.

Wang Tong's role was to help Xiao Mu block the Blood Demon, buying some time for Xiao Mu to release 'Spirit Flame - Burn' (the technique name for using a Fire Talisman in combination with Peach Wood Sword).

However, these words weren't necessary to tell Wang Tong.
