"Leader Lei?"

A thought occurred to Xiao Mu.

He had heard of the two leaders of Song Relics, Thunder and Xuan Mo before.

Both of these leaders had already broken into the True Realm and truly transcended the mundane world.

"What does Leader Lei want from me?"

Curious, Xiao Mu couldn't figure out why Thunder, who was already in the True Realm, suddenly wanted to see him.

Although he was advancing in cultivation rapidly, he's just a Variant in the Mortal Realm, and doesn't think he's worthy of the attention of Thunder who is a True Realm existence.

Jiang Mu gave a cold sneer, mocking, "Does Leader Lei need to explain his actions to you? Who do you think you are?"

What an offensive speaker!

Xiao Mu was secretly angry, but he responded, "I may not be anything special, but what about you, Captain Jiang?"

"You..., Xiao Mu, you are presumptuous!"

Furious, Jiang Mu turned around and glared at Xiao Mu.

Xiao Mu smirked, "What? Is Captain Jiang planning to teach me a lesson?"

"You're lucky! If we weren't in the Song's Relics, I would have taught you a lesson!"

Jiang Mu's face changed for a moment, but he finally held himself back and didn't act against Xiao Mu.

Xiao Mu felt contempt in his heart.

Jiang Mu was always conservative, lacking in spirit, otherwise, he wouldn't resort to underhanded tricks to deal with Xiao Mu.

Knowing this, Xiao Mu dared to provoke him.

A still angry Jiang Mu then took the lead towards Thunder's office without saying anything more.

Xiao Mu followed him, making use of Tai Chi Steps.

Half an hour later, at the door of a huge room, Jiang Mu knocked.

"Come in!"

A charming voice of a middle-aged man sounded.

Waving Xiao Mu to come in, Jiang Mu took the lead in entering.

The room was occupied by a man in his forties dressed in ancient style but bizarrely wearing a convenient modern gym suit.

The man had an otherworldly aura about him, different from Variants in the Mortal Realm. It was as if he no longer belonged to the same world.

The Five Elements Power followed this man, naturally emitting from his body like a personalized cloud. With every movement, the Five Elements Power followed him automatically.

A brilliance of five colors flowed under his feet, as if he could control the Five Elements freely, using the Escape Art.

"Leader Lei, Xiao Mu is here."

As soon as he entered the room, Jiang Mu lowered his head and was reverent, not daring to look directly at the middle-aged man.

Xiao Mu glanced at Jiang Mu with contempt.

It was ridiculous how Jiang Mu, who was so domineering in front of him, immediately turned into such a wimp when he saw the middle-aged man.

"You are Xiao Mu?"

The middle-aged man, Thunder, turned to look at Xiao Mu.

BOOM!

Xiao Mu's Divine Sense exploded suddenly.

The moment Thunder's gaze fell on him, it's as if a mountain was pressing down on him, making it difficult for him to breathe, bearing an insurmountable pressure.

"I pay my respects to Leader Lei!"

Xiao Mu held up against the pressure, giving a bow to Thunder.

"Good, very good, no need to be polite!"

Thunder laughed heartily, and the pressure was immediately dissipated.

"Thank you, Leader Lei!"

Xiao Mu expressed his thanks, trying to appear relaxed, purposefully ignoring the fact that he was standing in front of a True Realm power.

"Xiao Mu, I heard you defeated the Immeasurable Cave?"

Thunder smiled as he asked for confirmation from Xiao Mu.

"It was a fluke."

Xiao Mu responded modestly.

He had turned in the task of the Immeasurable Cave, and it made sense that Thunder knew about it. However, he didn't understand why Thunder would be concerned about the Immeasurable Cave task.

"Others are not so fortunate. As a Mid-stage Variant of the Fifth Realm, you were able to defeat the Immeasurable Cave, which proves you have substantial strength."

Without disguising his praise for Xiao Mu, Thunder quickly shifted the topic, "Xiao Mu, while you were searching for Strange Treasures in the Immeasurable Cave, did you find a rectangular-shaped Bai Yu, about one finger thick, five centimeters wide, and forty centimeters long?"

"A rectangular-shaped Bai Yu?"

Thunder's question took Xiao Mu by surprise, but he answered instantly, "I haven't seen it."

"Are you sure?"

Seeming distrustful of Xiao Mu's answer, Thunder asked again for confirmation.

"I am indeed certain."

Xiao Mu shook his head.

He had indeed not seen any rectangular-shaped Bai Yu. After defeating the Evil Ghost, he searched the Treasure Vault thoroughly and apart from some common treasures and Energy Fruits, he found nothing else.

As for the rectangular-shaped Bai Yu mentioned by Thunder, he would certainly remember if he saw it.

Xiao Mu was watched for a moment, as if determining the truth or falsehood of his words.

After a while, Thunder said, "Well, in that case, you may go."

"Yes."

Although Xiao Mu was confused, he did not question further and started to walk towards the door of the office.

"Xiao Mu, that rectangular-shaped Bai Yu is of significant importance. If you have any clues, make sure to report it."

As Xiao Mu reached the door, Thunder suddenly reminded him.

"Yes, Leader Lei."

Xiao Mu agreed, growing even more perplexed. However, he didn't ask for more details related to the rectangular-shaped Bai Yu and left Thunder's office.

"Leader Lei, I am certain that this man is lying. The rectangular-shaped Bai Yu you mentioned must have been gotten by him."

As soon as Xiao Mu stepped out of the office, Jiang Mu made the accusation.

"Maybe not!"

Thunder shook his head, unperturbed by Jiang Mu's assertion, "If he had gotten a hold of it, there is no reason for him to hide it, unless he knows what it is."

"The Bai Yu is of great significance, especially to me. Jiang Mu, keep a close watch on this, report any news about the Bai Yu to me immediately."

"Rest assured Leader Lei, I will keep a close watch on Xiao Mu."
