Feng Zhu sighed.

"Foolish!"

Ge Xuan berated Feng Zhu, showing no mercy.

All four nostrils of Feng Zhu quivered simultaneously, laughing off the insult, showing no signs of anger.

"Xiao Mu, what's your stance? Will you take the initiative to attack or wait passively for the gate of the Realm of True Nothingness to reopen?"

Chen E lowered his large head and questioned Xiao Mu once again.

Xiao Mu didn't answer, instead looking at the Ghost Princess.

"I stand with you, in victory or defeat."

The Ghost Princess laughed lightly, her tone resolute.

Once again, Xiao Mu pondered.

Both the offensive and the defensive arguments made sense.

Taking the initiative to attack was certainly the best course of action, yet, as Feng Zhu said, the power of the Xuan Yin Banner in the hands of King Xuan and Hades was overwhelmingly potent, not something that an average Mutated Being of the Fifth Realm could withstand.

Once this kind of magic treasure was brought into play, if controlled by powerhouses of the level of King Xuan and Hades, no common Mutated Being of the Fifth Realm could stand against it, their death would be assured.

In his hand, he did have the Destructive Spear of Treasures.

However, in direct combat, whether the Destructive Spear of Treasures could block the Xuan Yin Banner controlled by King Xuan and Hades was something Xiao Mu was uncertain about.

This was not because the Destructive Spear of Treasures was weak, but because the genuine power contained within the spear did not match up with Xiao Mu.

Xiao Mu practiced Chaos-like Power and the Two Forces of Life and Death, while the power contained in the Destructive Spear was the Power of Destruction.

All along, Xiao Mu's control over the Destructive Spear of Treasures depended on the Ancient Bronze Ring.

Without the Ancient Bronze Ring, there was no way he could control this magical treasure.

Moreover, Xiao Mu was concerned.

The Xuan Yin Banner of King Xuan and Hades could already breach space, even launching an attack on him from afar.

There was no doubt that the means of breaking open space was the way King Xuan and Hades planned to lead Ancestor Xuan Yin through.

Was Ancestor Xuan Yin already capable of infiltrating?

If he was able to infiltrate, that would be a death warrant.

Even if he couldn't infiltrate fully, even if just a hand or a foot got through, it would still be an enormous disaster.

A mere hand from a power of the True Realm could slaughter all the Mutated Beings present, leaving none alive, including Xiao Mu.

From the current situation, it seemed that Ancestor Xuan Yin was temporarily unable to infiltrate the realm, at least he was unable to infiltrate completely.

Otherwise, King Xuan and Hades would have likely already used the Xuan Yin Banner to open the door of the True Realm to lead Ancestor Xuan Yin in.

This indicated that the Xuan Yin Banner had not been completely refined yet.

This was their chance.

If they wanted to survive, their only option was to prevent Ancestor Xuan Yin from infiltrating.

And to prevent Ancestor Xuan Yin from infiltrating, they must stop the Xuan Yin Banner from being completely refined.

Xiao Mu immediately thought of three ways to stop the Xuan Yin Banner from being completely refined.

First: Kill King Xuan and Hades, seize the Xuan Yin Banner, and keep the Banner under his own control. Naturally, a Xuan Yin Banner held by them would not continue to be refined.

However, the chance of this happening was slim. King Xuan and Hades were not dead men. How could they easily let anyone seize the Banner when they were in control of such a powerful magic treasure?

Second: Destroy the Xuan Yin Banner.

A destroyed Xuan Yin Banner would also not continue to be refined.

The Xuan Yin Banner was a magic treasure, so the possibility of it being destroyed was equally slim.

In the current Realm of True Nothingness, the only way Xiao Mu could think of to destroy the Xuan Yin Banner was to toss it into the Land of Origin and use the Origin Power of the Land of Origin to destroy it.

Third: No more deaths.

No more deaths would mean that King Xuan and Hades would not be able to continue refining the Xuan Yin Banner.

A Xuan Yin Banner that hasn't been successfully refined would not be able to open the door to the True Realm and lead Ancestor Xuan Yin in.

At the moment, Xiao Mu could only think of these three possibilities.

Looking at it this way, whether they decided to attack or defend, there was a chance of survival and escape from the Realm of True Nothingness. It all depended on how they would go about it.

The attack was to seize the Xuan Yin Banner, preventing King Xuan and Hades from breaching space and leading Ancestor Xuan Yin in.

The defense was to prevent further deaths. As long as no more people died, King Xuan and Hades wouldn't be able to continue refining the Xuan Yin Banner.

A Xuan Yin Banner that couldn't continue to be refined wouldn't be able to breach the space and lead Ancestor Xuan Yin in.

"Cough, cough!"

Xiao Mu cleared his mind and turned to Ge Xuan and Chen E, "You advocate for taking the initiative to attack. Do you have any plans? How do you plan to seize the Xuan Yin Banner from King Xuan and Hades?"

Ge Xuan said: "Our plan is simple. King Xuan and Hades, holding the Xuan Yin Banner, are too powerful for us to confront directly. The idea is to whittle down their forces with repeated surprise attacks, then launch a concentrated strike with all our power, kill King Xuan and Hades, and seize the Xuan Yin Banner."

"Oh!"

Xiao Mu nodded. This plan was feasible and had a certain degree of implementability.

"What about you?"

Xiao Mu then shifted his gaze to Feng Zhu.

Feng Zhu said: "Our plan is to hide ourselves within the Great Array, using the Five Elements Yin-Yang Formation as the foundation to resist King Xuan, Hades and their other mutated beings, ensuring they do not have an opportunity to take any lives."

"Xiao Mu, what's your plan? To attack or to defend?"

Impatiently, Ge Xuan asked once more, urging Xiao Mu to make a decision.

Xiao Mu remained silent.

In his heart, he still leaned more towards an offensive course of action.

However, he wasn't in a hurry to answer Ge Xuan. "Allow me some time to think this over," he said, before turning to Feng Zhu. "I need information about everyone in the Realm of True Nothingness, the balance of power between us and King Xuan and Hades, primarily information regarding powers of the Fifth Realm on both sides."

Only with data on the powerhouses from both parties could he make a more accurate decision.
