"Do I look like someone who can be bought with a thousand energy fruits?"

A thousand energy fruits aside, not only did Xiao Mu's speed not decrease in the slightest, it actually increased even more.

He pushed the speed of his Tai Chi Steps to its limit, his body transforming into alternating streaks of black and white light. They intertwined like strands of twisted lightning, gradually closing the distance between him and Bai Luowang.

"Son of a—!"

Bai Luowang cursed again. Losing 1,100 energy fruits not only failed to slow Xiao Mu down, it put himself in even greater danger.

Enraged, he was on the verge of breaking down.

"Keep running your mouth. I hope you'll still be able to curse when I catch you."

Xiao Mu sneered, relentlessly pursuing him.

"Human, anything can be discussed as long as you agree to let me go. You can insult my mom, my grandma, my ancestors, and I won't mind,"

Bai Luowang, seeing that he can't overpower Xiao Mu, again softens up and starts negotiating.

"Drop the God's Tablet."

Xiao Mu responded.

The black God's Tablet was of utmost importance, he couldn't let Bai Luowang take it under any circumstance.

"Except for the God's Tablet, you can make any other requests."

Bai Luowang, refusing to give up the God's Tablet, continued to negotiate.

"Dropping the God's Tablet is a prerequisite to negotiations. If you don't drop it, don't even think of negotiating any terms."

Xiao Mu's tone turned cold again.

In reality, even if Bai Luowang were to drop the God's Tablet of City God Xu, Xiao Mu had no intention of letting him go. Deceiving him into dropping the God's Tablet first would save him a lot of trouble.

Anxiety gripped Bai Luowang's heart as he once again took out something and threw it into the distance.

It was a glowing round bead that radiated the Power of Life and Death. Undoubtedly, it was an Exotic Technique Secret Manual.

Having seen that energy fruits failed to entice Xiao Mu into stopping to pick them up, Bai Luowang had no choice but to throw out something even more precious.

This was a unique Secret Manual of the Life and Death Sect, unavailable anywhere else.

"Human, that's an Exotic Technique Secret Manual. If you don't want it, keep chasing me."

"But don't blame me for not warning you. Even if you catch up to me, you won't be able to kill me right away."

"By the time you've killed me and want to go back for the Secret Manual and the energy fruits, be it the Manual or the fruits, they'll definitely have been picked up by others."

Bai Luowang shouted, analyzing the pros and cons, trying to make Xiao Mu weigh between chasing him and stopping to collect the treasures.

Putting his life at stake, he used every means possible to escape.

"Thanks a lot for reminding me. Otherwise, I might really have missed this Secret Manual and the energy fruits."

Xiao Mu replied with a smile, gesturing with a pointed finger. His Ghost Servant emerged from the ground.

"Go back the way you came and pick up the Secret Manual and the energy fruits."

Xiao Mu ordered his Ghost Servant, but he didn't slow down in the slightest and continued to chase Bai Luowang.

"Yes, Master."

The Ghost Servant agreed and went to pick up the Exotic Technique Secret Manual.

"Bloody hell!"

Bai Luowang was infuriated.

He had never expected Xiao Mu to have a Ghost Servant; he didn't need to stop and pick up the things Bai Luowang had thrown away. He could just send the Ghost Servant to pick them up.

What infuriated him, even more, was that Xiao Mu had waited until now to let out his Ghost Servant to pick up the treasures he had thrown away.

This led to his loss of another 1,100 energy fruits and an Exotic Technique Secret Manual due to a lack of information.

Bai Luowang was seething with rage.

"Heh, heh!"

Xiao Mu sneered, his Tai Chi Steps unfolding, as the enormous 3D Tai Chi pattern kept pushing forward.

The distance between Xiao Mu and Bai Luowang was closing. Before long, the distance shrunk to less than a mile.

Bai Luowang fled frantically, coughing up blood as he executed the Life-Death Step, trying to widen the distance from Xiao Mu.

However, even though the Life-Death Step was powerful, due to his injury, it was already powerless, unable to shake off Xiao Mu, but instead, he was being chased even closer.

"Human, keep chasing me. As long as I can escape, you will never be able to live in peace in your life."

As Bai Luowang fled, he roared in anger, cursing Xiao Mu hysterically.

"You still think you can escape?"

Xiao Mu exerted his full force to manipulate the Yin Yang Dual Power of the kind of Chaotic True Seed. With his speed increased yet again, the chase ensued.

The two of them carried on — one chasing and the other escaping, leaving Da Liang City and entering the mountainous region.

This mountain range emerged from the ground after the Mutation. In this dense, lush, and towering forest, it was like a giant primal forest.

Whoo-Whoo!

A crying sound suddenly resounded, seemingly coming from the Netherworld.

It was a Ghost's Howl, a horrifying omen of the impending appearance of some evil creature.

No harm had been done yet, just the eerie crying sound alone was enough to shatter one's courage.

Suddenly, the heavens and earth darkened. An aura of death seemed to descend from above, shrouding everything.

A chill shot through Xiao Mu's spine.

The intense and dreadful aura that suddenly emerged led him to immediately conclude — a Non-existence Creature had arrived.

From the Power of Life and Death filling the air, he determined that this terrifying creature was certainly related to the Life and Death Sect.

Without any hesitation, Xiao Mu stopped in his tracks and stopped pursuing Bai Luowang.

At the same time, he promptly took out his cellphone and hit the Emergency Assistance Button, seeking help from the higher-ups in the Song Relics.

This was the highest level of SOS in the Song relics, indicating an encounter with reality realm powerhouses.

Once the emergency message was sent, the higher-ups would immediately respond by sending reality realm powerhouses for reinforcement.

After the emergency message was sent, Xiao Mu looked forward to Bai Luowang.

He had assumed that when the reality realm powerhouse of the Life and Death Sect arrives, Bai Luowang would surely turn around and chase him gleefully.

What happened was completely unexpected.

Bai Luowang had stopped but was shaking all over. His normally pitch-black face had become pale as a sheet from terror.
