"It's nothing, just making some arrangements. You guys continue with what you were doing, don't mind me."

Xiao Mu kept a calm demeanor.

However, Lei Jiang and the others who witnessed Xiao Mu setting up the trap formation were clearly not able to carry on unaffected.

If it wasn't for the mysterious effectiveness of the trap formation Xiao Mu just set up, they would have already begun a confrontation.

The trap formation seemed too peculiar, Lei Jiang and the others had been taken aback, and for the moment, they did not plan to make a move.

Despite this...

Lei Jiang's face grew stern, "Friend, are you daring to say that you aren't trying to seize the Blood Demon?"

"Seize the Blood Demon? I really don't have such an intention."

Xiao Mu earnestly replied, "If you want to kill the Blood Demon, then please go ahead first."

"Heh!"

Lei Jiang gave a forced smile, "Let me put it plainly, friend, even if you do plan to seize it, I, Lei Jiang, am not afraid of any confrontation."

The aggressiveness in his tone was apparent.

It could be gleaned from his words that Lei Jiang held some trepidation towards Xiao Mu, otherwise he wouldn't talk this much.

Ah Qing and Gang Shou, amongst others, seemed to take Lei Jiang as the lead. During Lei Jiang's negotiation with Xiao Mu, none of them dared to interject a word.

One gripping a sword, the other making a fist, both clearly prepared to start a fight at any disagreement.

Zhao Yan wore an anxious look on her face. Knowing individuals from both sides, she feared that an actual fight would be hard to diffuse.

At this moment, she also didn't know how to mediate and could only remain silent, anxiously standing to the side and continuously giving pleading glances at Wang Tong.

Wang Tong, who had faith in Xiao Mu, wore a nonchalant expression.

This made Zhao Yan even more anxious.

Xiao Mu said, "Heh! I really have no intention of snatching the Blood Demon from you."

He indeed had no intention to seize the Blood Demon because it wasn't necessary as Lei Jiang wouldn't be able to kill it anyway.

"I do, however, have a suggestion."

Xiao Mu pondered.

"A suggestion?"

Lei Jiang was taken aback.

The words of Xiao Mu left him unable to grasp the meaning for a moment.

"Yes, a suggestion."

Xiao Mu explained, "I hope we can cooperate and deal with the Blood Demon together, what do you think?"

If it were a Green Blood Ghost, Xiao Mu would never have made such a proposition, however, they were faced with a Blue Blood Ghost.

Compared to the Green Blood Ghost, the Blue Blood Ghost was significantly stronger.

Facing such a Blue Blood Ghost, Xiao Mu clearly understood that Lei Jiang was no match.

Even if it was Xiao Mu himself, even with the help of Wang Tong, dealing with the Blue Blood Ghost would still be dangerous.

Although the power of his Fire Talisman had received a significant boost and was absolutely confident of burning the Blue Blood Ghost to death in combination with the Thunder Pattern Sword.

His trap formation was still at the beginner level, even with the help of Wang Tong, they wouldn't be confident in stalling the Blue Blood Ghost long enough to release the Fire Talisman.

As for collaborating with Lei Jiang, Xiao Mu didn't face any mental burden.

Xiao Mu valued Energy Points, but as for the Energy Crystal, whether he got it or not didn't really matter. Even if all of it went to Lei Jiang, it would still mean nothing.

After a moment of weighing up his options in his head, Xiao Mu suggested cooperation.

"Lei Jiang, give it a thought, we all came here together, there's no fun in keeping everything to oneself."

Zhao Yan attempted to mediate.

"Cooperate? No need!"

Lei Jiang's face showed a change.

If the previous trap formation made him view Xiao Mu as a man of deep schemes, this proposal made him look down on him.

Facing a Green Blood Demon and talking about cooperation with him, how high could such a person's abilities be?

In this way, Lei Jiang's face again became gloomy, his attitude returning to its domineering state as he sternly declined, "Sorry, I don't have intentions to cooperate, nor am I used to cooperating with others."

Xiao Mu hadn't expected him to refuse outright, but soon he made a guess as to why, once again he said, "What if I say that the Blood Demon is a Blue Blood Ghost?"

"Blue Blood Ghost?"

Lei Jiang, upon hearing this, was taken aback.

The Blue Blood Ghost, it was also a thing he feared.

Then, after glancing at Zhao Yan, Lei Jiang's face of fear disappeared completely, and he restored his proud look, sneered dismissively, "Heh heh!"

He didn't believe Xiao Mu's words at all, and didn't even bother to refute it.

"Fine."

Xiao Mu didn't know what to say. From Lei Jiang's expression, he knew that no matter how he explained, the other party would not believe him.

"If that's the case, we'll step aside and let you take the lead."

He waved to Wang Tong, ready to leave the pond.

Wang Tong felt aggrieved, turned his head and said, "Now we propose to cooperate with you, and if you refuse, don't expect to seek our help later."

"Ask for your help? Heh heh!"

Ah Qing looked at Wang Tong contemptuously and scoffed, "Someone who's so frightened by the Blood Demon that he's running around in panic, dares to say we should ask for your help? If we leave the Blood Demon to you, would you dare to kill it?"

"You..."

Wang Tong was stunned and couldn't respond.

He admitted that he didn't have the ability to kill the Blood Demon alone.

Ah Qing clearly noticed that while Wang Tong was average, Xiao Mu's strength was hard to gauge. Thus, she deliberately left him out of her mockery.

"What my friend says is correct."

Xiao Mu saw Wang Tong embarrassed and intervened politely, "You might need our help, so don't make such definitive statements."

Ah Qing scornfully curled her lips, "Asking for your help? Pssh! It's just a Green Blood Demon, my brother has killed it before."

Xiao Mu couldn't be bothered to argue with this woman, so he fell silent.

His gaze scanned and suddenly landed on Zhao Yan, causing Xiao Mu to freeze for a moment.

Zhao Yan's face was obviously covered with a layer of black gas.

This was Death Qi, an omen of death.

"It wasn't there just now, how come it suddenly appeared?"

Xiao Mu muttered to himself, trying to think of an explanation.

When he saw Zhao Yan earlier, there wasn't any black gas on her face. But now it appeared suddenly. No doubt, the problem must be with the soon-to-appear Blue Blood Ghost.

He looked at Lei Jiang and the others; they also had it, but it was not as pronounced – at least not as noticeable as on Zhao Yan.

Does this mean that the Blue Blood Ghost, once it appears, would target Zhao Yan first?

"Could it be..."

He glanced at Zhao Yan again, a possibility struck Xiao Mu.

He couldn't help but chuckle, "Could it be that even ghosts hold grudges? Earlier, Zhao Yan escaped from the Blood Demon, and it failed to kill her then. Now that she appears again, would the Blood Demon make her its primary target?"

"This is going to be good!"

Thinking...

"Hey!"

Xiao Mu suddenly waved at Zhao Yan.

"Hello!"

Zhao Yan reflexively responded to Xiao Mu, her expression confused as she couldn't figure out why he suddenly greeted her.

"Beauty,"

Xiao Mu couldn't resist saying, "You're in trouble."

"..."

Zhao Yan widened her eyes in surprise, completely clueless as she looked at Xiao Mu.

She didn't understand what Xiao Mu was saying.

"I suggest you leave here, and don't stay. Otherwise, once the Blood Demon shows up, I'm afraid you're going to die here."

Xiao Mu explained.

"Surely not?"

Zhao Yan looked somewhat unsettled.

When Xiao Mu said she might die here, she was somewhat upset.

In addition, she also didn't quite believe Xiao Mu's words.

With Lei Jiang here, would dealing with a green Blood Demon be that troublesome?
