"Zhu Xiaotong, take Mr. Xiao over there."

He Meng turned his head and instructed the boy.

"Yes, Domain Master."

The boy, Zhu Xiaotong, did not dare to delay and bowed in assent.

"Isn't Domain Master He coming with me?"

Xiao Mu stared at He Meng.

He Meng's smile looked quite fake, "I intended to accompany Mr. Xiao, but I'm too busy to get away. Fortunately, Zhu Xiaotong is very familiar with the Netherworld Passage, even more so than I am. It would be much better for him to accompany Mr. Xiao than for me to go along."

Xiao Mu had already become suspicious of He Meng and did not believe his explanation.

Too busy with other things, who are you kidding?

He said indifferently, "Even more familiar than Domain Master He? Does that include sudden eruptions of Netherworld Qi?"

Upon hearing this, He Meng's face suddenly darkened, and he asked with a glower, "Mr. Xiao, what do you mean by that?"

Xiao Mu replied calmly, "Nothing much, I merely wish for Domain Master He to accompany me on a walk."

He Meng's expression grew darker still as he glared at Xiao Mu and demanded coldly, "What if I insist on not going?"

Xiao Mu smiled and said, "Then I'll have to ask Domain Master He to change his mind."

"Haha!"

He Meng, furious, wore a look of scorn, "Who do you think you are? If you ask me to go, should I just follow you?"

"Xiao Mu, I now request you leave immediately. I can overlook what was said just now. But if you keep causing trouble, I will tie you up and send you back to the Great Tang Ruins."

Finally, He Meng dropped the pretense and began to threaten Xiao Mu.

"Very well!"

Xiao Mu glanced at He Meng, then suddenly initiated the Life-Death Step. With a flash of gray and white light, he reached He Meng in the blink of an eye.

He Meng, furious, exclaimed, "What are you doing? Xiao Mu, you're audacious! How dare you lay hands on me, you must be tired of living."

With a wave of his left hand, a Sharp Gold Greatsword materialized in his grasp, guarding his body and preventing Xiao Mu from closing in.

Meanwhile, his right hand formed a strange seal and a slight hissing was heard as a beam of white light descended from the sky, transforming into the shape of a sword and slashing towards Xiao Mu's head.

"What am I doing? You ask what I am doing; of course, it is to capture you and accompany me to the Netherworld Passage."

Now that the facade had been torn away, Xiao Mu no longer held back.

With a flash of movement, the Life-Death Step was initiated once again. Not only did he dodge the white light sword falling from the sky, but he also reached behind He Meng.

Hissss!

With a swipe of Xiao Mu's right hand towards He Meng, two strands of light, one black and one white, were pulled out from He Meng's body.

Yin and Yang Puppetry Technique!

Xiao Mu's purpose in applying this technique was merely to control He Meng, not to turn him into a Yin-Yang Puppet.

The black and white strands appeared in Xiao Mu's hand. With a leisurely wave of his right hand, the Yin Yang Lines transformed simultaneously into the shape of a Yin-Yang Diagram in the palm of his hand.

"What have you done?"

He Meng immediately felt the anomaly behind him, sensing a pulling force in Xiao Mu's palm, constantly extracting the Yin Yang Power from his body, causing his entire being to transform towards the Yin Yang Power.

Startled, He Meng felt a chill run through his entire being, his soul trembling.

In his anxiety, He Meng's body spun sharply, both hands raised high into the sky.

As if activating a certain rule, the sky suddenly filled with dark clouds as dense as ink.

The clouds pressed down from the heights, reaching less than three feet from the ground in the blink of an eye.

A frigid gale swept across the ground, and within the clouds, drips of black water rained down, intertwining towards Xiao Mu.

"I also cultivate the Power of the Five Elements; do you really think you can deal with me using just a simple Blackwater Unusual Technique?"

Amid his sneer, Xiao Mu suddenly released the Light of Five Elements.

Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, all formed into an extraordinary Protective Shield, with Wood Power covering the topmost layer, emitting a hazy Green Light, instantly blocking He Meng's Blackwater Unusual Technique.

At the same time, the Yin-Yang Diagram in Xiao Mu's right palm suddenly began to spin. The power of the Yin and Yang Puppetry Technique, channeled through the Yin Yang Lines, entered He Meng's body in an instant.

He Meng immediately lost the ability to move and was controlled by Xiao Mu.

"Domain Master He, please."

Xiao Mu raised his right hand, the Yin-Yang Diagram acting like a mirror. The black and white Yin Yang Lines reflected onto He Meng, using the diagram to control his movements.

"You... Xiao Mu, you dare to control me?"

He Meng's voice trembled, overwhelmed by a profound fear.

"All tied up and still so much nonsense! Domain Master He, from now on you can't speak unless I ask you a question, or I will have you slap yourself."

The Yin-Yang Diagram in Xiao Mu's hand suddenly rotated, and the black and white strands controlled He Meng's body.

Suddenly, He Meng's hands rose and struck his own mouth twice.

"You... you... Xiao Mu, you dare!"

Unable to control his hands, He Meng's face showed anger which couldn't hide the color of fear.

"That was just a warning. Speak out of turn again, and I will make you slap yourself for real," Xiao Mu said grimly, paying no heed to He Meng's words.

He Meng immediately fell silent, not daring to speak further.

"Let's go!"

Xiao Mu lifted his right hand, slightly loosening the Yin-Yang Diagram, allowing He Meng a little freedom, and drove him to move forward.

"Xiao Mu, treating me like this, once I report to the Alliance, they will surely punish you," He Meng said as he fled towards the outside of the Mansion while also threatening Xiao Mu.

"Smack!"

The Yin-Yang Diagram in Xiao Mu's right hand spun, the Yin Yang Lines tightened, and He Meng was once again controlled. His right hand rose uncontrollably and delivered a hefty slap to his own mouth.

"From now on, don't speak unless I ask. Otherwise, for every word you utter, I will make you slap your own face!"
