"Mr. Mu, what have you done?"

Li Guangyou was puzzled.

Just now, he noticed that Xiao Mu seemed to have arranged something around the spirit tablet of his grandfather, but he could not figure out exactly what sort of arrangement had been made.

However, Xiao Mu chose not to explain and simply responded with a mysterious smile, "You'll know when the time comes."

"But..."

Li Guangyou remained uneasy and full of worry, "Mr. Mu, can you really ensure my family's safety? It's only my father, myself, and my wife at home now, and my son is studying abroad. Will he be affected?"

"No, he will not. Rest assured." said Xiao Mu.

Xiao Mu comforted Li Guangyou and was quick to clarify, "If something goes wrong at your grandmother's coffin, your old courtyard will be affected first, before your household. Even if it impacts your family, your father will be the first to be affected, then you, and only then your son."

"So, as long as nothing happens to your household, and nothing happens to you or your father, your son will certainly be safe."

When finishing speaking, he solemnly warned again, "Remember, if anything unexpected happens, immediately lead people to take shelter in the ancestral hall. Remember this! Bear it in mind!"

Xiao Mu was concerned that Li Guangyou might panic in the face of sudden events, forget to seek shelter in the ancestral hall, causing a complete mess.

So Xiao Mu had to keep repeating his warnings.

"Alright, Mr. Mu, I'll remember that. Thank you!"

Li Guangyou looked serious, and hastily expressed his gratitude to Xiao Mu.

He was still worried, but compared to before, Xiao Mu's words had made him feel much more relieved.

Then Xiao Mu said goodbye, and left the Li family.

Li Guangyou insisted on seeing him off. Seeing that it was getting dark, Xiao Mu stopped him. After repeatedly thanking him sincerely, Xiao Mu left the Li family under the supervision of Old Man Li and Li Guangyou.

After leaving the Li family, inside the taxi, Xiao Mu immediately started to ponder on how to deal with the second-grade evil zombie in Li Guangyou's grandmother's coffin.

Just by himself, in a direct battle, he was definitely no match for a second-grade evil zombie.

The evil zombie was in a peculiar location; not only was the coffin submerged in water, but all around the coffin was a pile of dead fish and rotten shrimp. This special geographical location didn't allow Xiao Mu to even set up a trap formation.

Should he seek assistance then?

If it is about assistance, the first person Xiao Mu thought of was Wang Tong, but he soon shook his head and rejected the idea.

With Wang Tong being only at a medium-term Qi Refining and Blood Integration level, he wouldn't be any help against a second-grade evil zombie. Once encountered, Wang Tong would be killed by the evil zombie in just a face-to-face encounter.

What about Lei Jiang?

Xiao Mu thought of Lei Jiang.

Lei Jiang was not weak, he had already entered the Bone Forger Level. Even when encountering a Blue Blood Ghost, he could resist for a few rounds, buying enough time for Xiao Mu to use the Flame Stacking move to kill the Blue Blood Ghost.

But that was the Blue Blood Ghost, and Xiao Mu had already prepared the trap formation in advance.

In the cooperation of the trap formation, Lei Jiang could hold back the Blue Blood Ghost, thus giving Xiao Mu time to use 'Furious Flame - Burn'.

If there wasn't any trap formation, Xiao Mu seriously doubted whether Lei Jiang would've been able to detain the Blue Blood Ghost and buy him some time.

The Blue Blood Ghost was incredibly fast, Lei Jiang was probably not even able to catch up. If the Blue Blood Ghost were to break free and charged straight at Xiao Mu, Xiao Mu seriously doubted if he would have the opportunity to use Furious Flame - Burn.

Asking Lei Jiang for help seemed to be out of the question.

Xiao Mu shook his head and once again rejected this idea.

What they needed to kill now was the second-grade evil zombie, more powerful than the Blue Blood Ghost.

There was no mentioning of Lei Jiang, even faces like King Qingshan, Red Thread Woman, the top heroes of the Local Hero Rankings, if they had come, they might not have been any help against such powerful second-grade evil zombie.

Apart from this, is there no other way?

Xiao Mu continued thinking with a frown. Then, not long after, his eyes gleamed suddenly.

Perhaps...

"Driver, please take the route to Taolin Village in the suburbs."

Xiao Mu casually instructed the taxi driver.

"Taolin Village, that's in the suburbs, a good distance from here."

The driver frowned upon hearing this.

He did know about Taolin Village, and before the World Mutation, it wasn't considered far, and it was no problem hauling passengers over there in his taxi.

However, after the World Mutation, the distance to Taolin Village seemed to have greatly expanded.

Thankfully, the location of the Li family's house was almost close to the suburbs, and relatively near to Taolin Village. Despite this, there was still a distance of two to three hundred miles.

"No problem, I'm paying, change the course to Taolin Village."

Xiao Mu ordered.

"Alright then."

Upon seeing this, the driver didn't say anything more.

Immediately, he changed course and started driving towards Taolin Village.

Two or three hours later, the car arrived at Taolin Village, and by then it had already turned dark.

Xiao Mu instructed the driver to stop directly in front of Village Chief Hao's front door.

Xiao Mu paid the fare, got out of the taxi, and walked over to knock on the door.

A five or six-year-old little girl with twin buns on her head ran over innocently with a pair of naive big eyes staring at Xiao Mu, "Uncle, who are you looking for?"

"I'm looking for Village Chief Hao, sweetheart, is Village Chief Hao your grandfather? Is he home?"

Xiao Mu asked the little girl.

"My grandpa has gone on a long journey, Uncle, you should come back in a few days."

The little girl innocently said.

"Gone on a long journey?"

Xiao Mu was taken aback, "Sweetheart, do you know where your grandpa went?"

Before the little girl could answer, a middle-aged woman came out, "Yaya, who are you talking to?"

She quickly noticed Xiao Mu, and to her surprise, she immediately recognized him, "Mr. Mu, you're Mr. Mu?"

Her expression was both shocked and thrilled. The last time Xiao Mu had saved the entire Taolin Village and eliminated the Blood Demon, she had seen Xiao Mu face to face.

"You're Hao's sister-in-law?"

Xiao Mu recognized this middle-aged woman. He knew she was Village Chief Hao's daughter-in-law. He immediately asked, "Sister-in-law, where did Village Chief Hao go?"

"My father took ancestor Peach away. They said they were going to Kunlun Mountain. I'm afraid they won't be back for a while. Mr. Mu, do you have something to discuss? Would you like to come in?"

The middle-aged woman said while walking over to open the door for Xiao Mu. At the same time, she introduced Xiao Mu to little Yaya, "Yaya, this is Uncle Mu. Say hello to Uncle."

Yaya sweetly greeted him, "Hello Uncle Mu!"

"Hello Yaya."

Xiao Mu gently patted Yaya's head and gave a slight smile. Then he said to the middle-aged woman, "Sister-in-law, I won't go in. In Chief Hao's absence, who's in charge in the village?"

The middle-aged woman seemed to realise something, "Mr. Mu, you have business, don't you? When my dad's not here, Wu Er, my older brother, is in charge. I'll take you to him."

"That would be much appreciated."

Xiao Mu said politely.

He remembered Wu Er; they had met once before.

So, the middle-aged woman rode an electric tricycle, taking Xiao Mu to Wu Er's house.

Wu Er was in his forties, a very honest middle-aged man. Upon seeing Xiao Mu, he was exceptionally welcoming, and he kept inviting Xiao Mu into his house, "Mr. Mu, please, please, come inside."

"No need, Brother Wu Er, I have a favor to ask of you."

Running short on time, Xiao Mu had no mind to sit and chat, so he directly stated his request.

Wu Er was slightly startled, then his brows furrowed, "Mr. Mu, you're asking for old peach wood?"
