"Can I take a look at your treasury?" asked Xiao Mu.

If the treasury has been tainted, that means the item the malicious extraterrestrial beings are searching for is related to the treasury. Inspecting the treasury can provide more clues.

"This..."

Xu Zi hesitated.

How could he casually allow a stranger to access the Xu Family's treasury?

Xiao Mu knew what concerned Xu Zi and seriously said, "Mr. Xu, you might not fully grasp the severity of the matter.

"The threat posed by the Extraterrestrial Evil Beings of the Life and Death Sect far surpasses your imagination and their methods are ruthless. If we can't stop them in time, I'm afraid everyone in your family will be in danger. Additionally..."

Xiao Mu smiled, his face gleaming with confidence, "To be honest, I may not necessarily be interested in the items in your family's treasury..."

The Xu Family descends from City God Xu indeed, however, it is clear they have not inherited his legacy, otherwise, the most powerful mutant wouldn't just be at the Early Stage of the Fifth Realm.

Without a doubt, there isn't anything particularly valuable in Xu Family's treasury, otherwise, the strongest Mutated Being from their family clan wouldn't be at the Early Stage of the Fifth Realm.

Ordinary treasures don't even catch Xiao Mu's eye.

However, Xiao Mu felt puzzled, as descendants of City God Xu, the Xu Family shouldn't have fallen to this extent.

There might be some hidden complications.

Xu Zi clearly was taken aback by Xiao Mu's words and began pondering.

After a moment, he lifted his head to look at Xiao Mu, "Bringing an outsider to the treasury is a significant matter, I am not in a position to decide."

"Here's what we can do, I can take you to meet my grandfather, he holds the highest generational authority in our family. If he agrees to let you inspect the treasury, I'll show you."

"Please lead the way."

Xiao Mu nodded towards Xu Zi.

The information about Xu Zi's grandfather was indeed mentioned in the files.

The old man's name is Xu Yi, and he is the most powerful member of the entire Xu Family. He is at the Early Stage of the Fifth Realm and is the most influential figure in the Xu Family. Calling him the Family Head wouldn't be an overstatement.

"Mr. Xiao, please come with me."

Xu Zi guided Xiao Mu towards the courtyard, passed through it and entered a Moon Gate which led to an exquisite side yard.

The side yard was spacious, and buildings and pavilions had been erected throughout. A pond was dug up in the middle, presenting a classic and elegant ambiance.

Next to the pond sat an old man with a vibrant spirit, fishing.

The old man possesses an unyielding aura and has reached the Early Stage of the Fifth Realm, radiating the power of Wood.

Not everyone could acquire Secret Arts.

Xiao Mu shook his head subtly as he looked at the old man.

There was no doubt that this old man was Xu Yi, the head of the Xu Family. He cultivated the Wood Power, but due to bad luck, he didn't manage to cultivate any Secret Arts.

Such power was one of the weaker tiers among Fifth Realm Mutated Beings.

Simultaneously, the aura emitted from the elderly man caused Xiao Mu to frown.

Golden Auspicious Qi would continually flow from the old man's head, dispersing into the air.

This puzzled Xiao Mu.

That Golden Auspicious Qi was clearly the old man's Luck gradually dissolving into thin air. However, the leakage was so gradual that the old man failed to notice.

This reminded Xiao Mu of the Protective Blessing Technique from the Ghost Servant's "Scripture of God Transformation." The technique can bless allies and absorb the luck of enemies.

However, the absorption speed of luck from the enemy by the Secret Art in the Ghost Servant's "Scripture of God Transformation" is faster and more aggressive than the speed of Luck loss from the old man.

Could it be that Xu Yi's Luck was faltering because of the Xu Family's declining luck?

But why is the Xu Family's luck declining? Is it because the Xu Family is being targeted by extraterrestrial evil beings?

Xiao Mu made guesses without being able to figure out the actual reason.

"Xu Zi, who is visiting?"

The old man's voice was clear and powerful. He could Hear Xiao Mu and Xu Zi's footsteps, but he didn't look back, and remained focused on his fishing.

"Grandfather, this is Mr. Xiao from the Alliance. He is here under the directive of the Alliance to investigate the case of abnormal beings invading our home," Xu Zi respectfully replied, showing great respect to the elderly man.

"So, the Alliance hasn't forgotten about our Xu Family after all!"

The old man turned around, relieved, and his gaze immediately focused on Xiao Mu.

"Your power..."

The old man became stunned suddenly; Xiao Mu's strength gave him an impression that he couldn't fathom - he knew it far surpassed his own.

"Greetings, elder. My name is Xiao Mu and I am sent by the Alliance to investigate the abnormal beings that have infiltrated Xu Family."

Xiao Mu saluted Elder Xu Yi.

"An esteemed guest has arrived, and we failed to extend our hospitality. We beg your pardon!"

Elder Xu Yi hastily stood up from his seat and returned Xiao Mu's salute.

Xiao Mu's power which was subtly revealed made him nervous.

"Grandpa, you..."

Xu Zi was surprised.

His grandfather was actually being so courteous towards Xiao Mu!

With his Fourth Realm abilities, he could only vaguely sense Xiao Mu's strong presence, but couldn't comprehend how strong he was.

Xu Yi nodded and laughed, "Zi, Mr. Xiao's power is unfathomably deep. It will be beneficial for you to seek his advice."

"Really?"

Xu Zi was further shocked, and his gaze towards Xiao Mu gradually turned into awe.

If even his grandfather, who is in the Fifth Realm, says Xiao Mu is powerful, how strong must he be?

"Grandfather, Mr. Xiao would like to inspect our treasury and investigate the movements of the extraterrestrial evil beings there, what do you think?"

Xu Zi brought up the main issue, carefully consulting Xu Yi, not daring to make a decision by himself.

"He wants to look at our treasury?"

Xu Yi furrowed his brows, falling into thought.

Xiao Mu being an outsider, suddenly requesting to access their treasury, made it hard for him to accept.

Xiao Mu suddenly smiled and looked at Xu Yi, "Elder, do you feel like it's difficult to improve your cultivation? And if you go a day without eating an energy fruit, does your power decline?"
