But today was the day for assignment of tasks at the ancient Song Relics, and as one of the personnel carrying out specific tasks, he could not avoid accepting a task to quietly seclude himself.

Since the whereabouts of City God Xu were of great importance and the safety of his relatives was extremely crucial, it wouldn't be a problem for him to take on this task himself.

Not to mention, as Lan Cai stated, this task, once completed, could possibly bring him immense benefits, tempting Xiao Mu.

Although he had prepared enough Energy Fruit to break through to the Peak of the Fifth Realm, stepping into the peak still required Energy Fruits to elevate the realm from the Peak Fifth Realm to the Peak Perfected Fifth Realm.

Only by stepping into Perfection could one move forward to challenge the True Realm.

And from the Peak Fifth Realm to the Perfected Fifth Realm, at least eight thousand to ten thousand Energy Fruits were needed.

Not long ago, Xiao Mu was still struggling to figure out how to obtain such a massive quantity of Energy Fruits.

"Leader Lei, please let me go!"

Xiao Mu stood up and saluted Thunder.

"Leader Lei, I, Chen Han, am willing to protect the descendants of City God Xu."

Almost at the same time Xiao Mu stood up, the old man in a long robe named Chen Han stood up, scrambling to speak before Xiao Mu, saluted Thunder, and vied for the task.

Caught unprepared, Thunder was stunned; he had originally intended for Xiao Mu to carry out this task.

After all, he had his own ulterior motives. This simple task, which could potentially bring great benefits, naturally should be reserved for his own people.

He didn't expect Chen Han to step forward, wrestling with Xiao Mu for the task.

Xuan Mo's gaze swept over Xiao Mu and Chen Han. Though there was no change in his expression, Xiao Mu could sense the mockery in his eyes.

Xuan Mo's gaze brushed past Xiao Mu and he calmly said, "Leader Lei, Chen Han is a well-aged, cautious, steady, and strong individual. I believe he's the best candidate to protect the descendants of City God Xu. I suggest that your excellency Leader Lei carefully consider this and perhaps hand this task to Chen Han."

Chen Han immediately gloated and said, "Thank you for the recommendation, Brother Xuan. Leader Lei, if I, Chen Han, take action, I will surely protect the descendants of City God Xu, preserving them from the intrusion of the evil forces of the Life and Death Sect. Please give me this task, Leader Lei."

Xuan Mo and Chen Han's cooperation made Thunder curse silently in his heart. The task he had intentionally reserved for his own people, he was not willing to let Xuan Mo's man snatch it away.

Turning to Xiao Mu, he smiled and said, "The willingness to accept the task of protecting the descendants of City God Xu is seen not just in Chen Han, but also in Xiao Mu."

He shifted to addressing Xiao Mu and asked, "Xiao Mu, what are your thoughts? Can you accomplish the task of protecting City God Xu's descendants?"

Xiao Mu immediately bowed and said, "Please assign the task of protecting the descendants of City God Xu to me, Leader Lei. I, Xiao Mu, have the utmost confidence that I can perform this task."

Xuan Mo looked into Xiao Mu's eyes and spoke in a threatening tone, "Young people always fail to see their own shortcomings. Xiao Mu, do you know what the consequence would be if you failed to protect the descendants of City God Xu due to your lack of ability and messed up something big?"

"I believe it's in your best interest to gracefully step down and hand this task over to Chen Han."

"Chen Han's power is stronger than mine?"

Xiao Mu looked towards Chen Han and suddenly made a move. He extended his right hand and swung it towards Chen Han.

"Xiao Mu, you want to measure me? Alright! Very well! I'll show you how powerful I am!"

Chen Han forcefully yelled, with both hands out, his Sharp Gold Power surging out. One hand ready to receive Xiao Mu's palm, while the other was aimed at Xiao Mu.

He wanted to slap Xiao Mu away with one palm.

Boom!

Xiao Mu stayed motionless, his right hand suddenly exhibiting the Five-Colored Light Spectrum, the Five Elements Power flickering, and the two forces of life and death appeared.

Crack!

The moment Chen Han's right hand collided with Xiao Mu's palm, and before his left hand could even land a blow on Xiao Mu, he was sent flying by a palm from Xiao Mu.

How could his power, which was already lesser than Xiao Mu's, and his Sharp Gold Power, possibly withstand the combination of the Five Elements Power and the Two Forces of Life and Death?

As a result, he couldn't even take one move and was sent flying with a slap from Xiao Mu.
