The disappointment on Jiang Mu's face is clear, accompanied by extreme unwillingness, he glares at Xiao Mu, coldly saying, "Youngster, do not be complacent. Just because you didn't die this time, doesn't mean you won't die in the future. I have plenty of ways to torment you."

Xiao Mu said, "Aren't you afraid of being punished by the Alliance for using official business for personal revenge?"

"Punished?"

A cruel smile appears on Jiang Mu's face. "Where do you see me using official business for personal revenge? All my arrangements are within the rules allowed by the Alliance."

"Youngster, you can't possibly think that I would risk myself just to get revenge on you. Haha! You think I'm as naive as you."

That's a relief!

Jiang Mu's words made Xiao Mu breathe easier.

As long as this man is willing to abide by the rules, he has nothing to fear.

What he is afraid of is Jiang Mu acting like a cornered dog, wanting to put him in a deadly situation at all costs.

Such crazy behavior is the most terrifying.

Right now, as long as the other party is willing to follow the rules, for Xiao Mu, he can find room to maneuver, and he can simply continue to find ways to improve his strength.

At the same time as Xiao Mu breathed a sigh of relief, Jiang Mu stared at the Ancient Palace for a while and suddenly seemed to realize something, his face changed drastically.

"This... Is this... Did you encounter an evil creature from the Life and Death Sect last night?"

The Power of Life and Death left by King Daluo in the Ancient Palace can still be sensed.

Jiang Mu was startled when he sensed the lingering Power of Life and Death from King Daluo.

The Power of Life and Death is a kind of very powerful True Force, second only to the top-notch Origin Power, Hongmeng Power, Creation Power, Chaos Power, and so on.

This type of evil creature is always the most difficult to deal with. Ordinary Mutated Beings, even if two or three of them encounter it at the same time, may not necessarily be able to defeat it.

But to think, Xiao Mu not only survived an encounter with an evil creature that cultivated the Power of Life and Death but also managed to kill it.

How could this not surprise Jiang Mu!

Seeing the surprise on Jiang Mu's face, Xiao Mu felt somewhat proud inside.

An evil creature that cultivates the Power of Life and Death is not something that just anyone can kill. Otherwise, it wouldn't have surprised Jiang Mu this much.

"Those who become my enemies never end well."

Looking at Jiang Mu, Xiao Mu made a suggestive remark.

"Impudent youth, dare you insinuate me!"

There was anger in Jiang Mu's eyes, he was able to perceive the hidden meaning in Xiao Mu's words, and it made him angrier.

Although angry, he still dared not attack Xiao Mu easily.

Moments later, he said hatefully, "It's just a reward of two hundred energy fruits, I hope you have such opportunity in the future, without being killed by an evil creature."

Every time an evil creature is killed or targeted, a reward can be obtained.

For ordinary evil creatures practicing the Five Elements Art, even those practicing Yin and Yang Technique, the reward is only a hundred energy fruits.

But for evil creatures that cultivate the Power of Life and Death, because their strength is significantly greater than ordinary evil creatures, the reward is doubled.

From Jiang Mu's tone, Xiao Mu detected jealousy.

"I have just arrived, and it's my first time on duty. I'm very much satisfied with the reward of two hundred energy fruits!"

As if intentionally provoking Jiang Mu, Xiao Mu's words were exceptionally irritating.

Jiang Mu was successfully angered by Xiao Mu, he nearly clenched his teeth to the point of shattering.

No wonder he was angry, the truth was indeed as Xiao Mu said. It was his first time on duty and he had already obtained a reward of two hundred energy fruits. No one had ever achieved this before.

Moreover, these two hundred energy fruits were owed thanks to Jiang Mu.What if he had not privately transferred Wang Kui and the others away, Xiao Mu would have had to share the two hundred energy fruits with them.

This made Jiang Mu even angrier, feeling as if he had just paved the way for Xiao Mu's success.

"I hope you have this good luck next time. But, it's impossible!"

Jiang Mu gritted his teeth.

Squeak!

The doors to the Ancient Palace were suddenly pushed open.

Two Mutated Beings at the peak of the Fifth Realm walked in side by side.

Both were male and female, of average build, plain-looking, but their expressions were full of seriousness, and they radiated a silent aura of authority.

Xiao Mu was meeting this pair of men and women for the first time, but he had heard Wang Kui describe them. He knew their identities.

He knew that both of them were Inspectors of the Song Relics. They were responsible for observing the activities of the evil horrors in various areas of the Song Relics and tallying the merits of the Mutated Beings on duty.

The male and female duo were both very solemn persons, the male was called Zhang Rui and the female was called Wang Yue.

"Captain Jiang is here! You're early!"

Zhang Rui reluctantly brought out a smile.

The female Mutated Being, who looked to be about forty-five or so, resembling a middle-aged woman, Wang Yue, was still quite unsmiling. "Captain Jiang is loyal to his duties, coming here for an early inspection, very good!"

Jiang Mu's face reddened, feigning modesty he said, "After all, I'm responsible for this area. I heard that an evil creature appeared last night, so I had to come and see."

Zhang Rui nodded, "Captain Jiang seems to be well-informed to know that an evil creature appeared in the Ancient Palace last night. To be honest, we only realized that an evil creature had appeared here from the Divine Map of the Song Relics when we saw evil light enveloping the area around the Ancient Palace."

Wang Yue had already turned to Xiao Mu, "You are...that newcomer...named Xiao Mu?"

She paused for a moment before remembering Xiao Mu's name.

Despite this, it still amazed Xiao Mu.

The work efficiency at the Song Relics was simply astonishing.

He had only just arrived, and yet the Inspectors had already figured out his identity.

Xiao Mu responded, "That's me."

"How come you're the only one here?"
