Wang Kui's expression suddenly became grave as he carefully instructed Xiao Mu, "In the next few days, especially be cautious. The signs presented in the ancient palace indicate that there may be evil absurdity entering at any moment."

"So, be very cautious in the next few days."

"Evil absurdity?"

Xiao Mu caught the weight in Wang Kui's words.

There's evil absurdity entering the ancient palace? He found it unbelievable.

"Is it an evil ghost, zombies, demons, Greenfin Clan, or other evil absurdities? What's their purpose entering the ancient palace? To steal the basic scriptures?"

Wang Kui shook his head, "I don't exactly know. I've been guarding the ancient palace for a long time. Though I've encountered evil absurdities, I'm still unclear about their purpose. I've even had only a few confrontations."

"So, you also don't know the capabilities of the evil absurdity that might appear?"

Xiao Mu asked again.

Wang Kui sighed, "Indeed, I don't. However, anyone daring to enter the ancient palace must be quite powerful. Moreover, the evil absurdities are elusive and have strange methods. Without careful vigilance, we could be killed. Hence, Brother Xiao, you must be careful."

"Thank you for the reminder, Brother Kui. I'll be extra cautious."

Xiao Mu expressed his gratitude.

Wang Kui corrected him sternly, "Please call me Wang Kui."

"The evil absurdity might enter the ancient palace in a day or two."

Zeng Guan, who had been silent till now, suddenly spoke.

"What?"

Xiao Mu and Wang Kui turned to Zeng Guan simultaneously.

"Look!"

Zeng Guan suddenly pointed towards a mural on the wall.

"What is it?"

Xiao Mu and Wang Kui immediately looked towards the mural that Zeng Guan was pointing at.

The mural was eerie and seemed incredibly obscure, as if a ferocious evil creature might leap out of it at any moment.

Furthermore, the pattern in this mural was completely different from the other murals. All other murals featured temples and divine beings, while this mural depicted a solitary grave with a hole gradually cracking open, growing larger.

Xiao Mu raised his eyebrows, his expression strange.

This was the same mural where he had seen a divine being clad in feathers not long ago.

What's going on?

Could it be that the feather-clad divine being he just saw was related to the upcoming evil absurdity?

He looked closely, the aura within the mural was different.

The feather-clad divine being had emitted an aura of righteousness and holiness.

However, the solitary grave now projected a rich, evil aura.

"The mural has changed!"

Wang Kui's expression changed as he exclaimed in shock.

"Just like before, this is a harbinger of an evil absurdity about to appear."

Zeng Guan, who was usually reserved, began to talk more, "The evil cemetery has replaced the temple in the mural, intending to enter the ancient palace through this mural."

"We cannot delay, we must report this to the higher-ups immediately."

Wang Kui seemed anxious.

No one opposed.

After all, the mural was becoming darker and the evil absurdity inside the grave appeared as if it could tear through the mural and come out any moment.

"Cough, cough!"

Before Wang Kui could even report, someone had already walked in.

"Captain Jiang!"

"Good day, Captain Jiang!"

"Captain Jiang, a mural has transformed. It has changed from a temple into a solitary grave, it seems that an evil absurdity is about to enter."

"Really?"

The person who arrived was Jiang Mu, who carried an air of undisturbed ease.

Ignoring the transformed mural, he scanned the entire room. When his gaze fell on Xiao Mu, it seemed to pause for a moment.

He had originally planned to use the Alliance's rules to kill Xiao Mu. The outcome had undoubtedly disappointed him.

"Greetings to Captain Jiang."

Xiao Mu acted as if nothing had happened in order to probe Jiang Mu's reaction.

"Forget it, since you're here, do your job properly. As inspector, our work carries immense significance. It concerns the safety of the entire human world."

Jiang Mu's tone was still lofty as if nothing had happened, acting as if his previous scheming against Xiao Mu had nothing to do with him.

Wang Kui reminded him seriously, "Captain Jiang, the mural has transformed. We need to respond."

"Being overly alarmed! It's nothing more than a ghost object. How strong can it really be? There's no need to worry, I, the Captain, have my arrangements."

Jiang Mu disregarded them, glanced at the mural then quickly moved his gaze over Wang Kui, Xuan Xin, Zeng Guan, and finally Xiao Mu.

"Wang Kui, Xuan Xin, Zeng Guan, I have received word that some ghost objects are active at Evil General Ridge. All three of you head there and exterminate these ghost objects."

"What? Captain Jiang, this...""

Wang Kui expressed his disbelief: "The evil absurdity might appear tonight, you are sending us to Evil General Ridge at this time? What about the evil absurdity? Who will protect the ancient palace?"

Jiang Mu angrily retorted: "Who is the captain here, you or me? I've said that I will manage everything."

"Yes."

Wang Kui and the others bowed their heads in agreement, but couldn't help but turn to give Xiao Mu a look.

Wang Kui and Zeng Guan were unsure about how Xiao Mu had offended Jiang Mu, only Xuan Xin had a clear understanding.

"In that case, don't delay, head out now. Upon reaching Evil General Ridge, make sure to search it inside and out, eliminate the ghost objects completely."

Jiang Mu commanded, "As for the ancient palace, I, the Captain, will take care of it."

Wang Kui said: "Captain, please provide the expedition token."

"What a stickler for rules, would I, the Captain, deceive you?"

Jiang Mu took out a small iron token with the word 'expedition' inscribed on it and handed it to Wang Kui.

Wang Kui accepted the token, took one last look at Xiao Mu as if cautioning him to be careful, nodded, and left the ancient palace with Xuan Xin and Zeng Guan.
