"Old Xiao, something doesn't feel right, it seems like someone is following us."

Not long after the two had escaped, Du Wenzhen kept looking back and anxiously said to Xiao Mu.

Xiao Mu continued to use the Escape Art to move forward, replying, "I've noticed it too, there are four Escape Lights, two people using the Wood Escape Technique and two using the Metal Escape Technique."

"However, let's not jump to conclusions just yet. It's not necessarily a chase, let's keep moving forward and discuss it after we reach the Nanhua Domain."

Du Wenzhen nodded.

Although those four Escape Lights were following behind them, whether it was a pursuit was not yet certain, and it could also be a coincidence that they were just passing by.

After thinking it over, he asked Xiao Mu, "Should we increase our speed?"

Both of them had undergone a Mutation in their Earth Escape Technique.

Aside from some special terrains, such as forests, over water, in mines, over volcanoes, or in exceptionally sunny deserts, the speed of the Earth Escape Technique generally surpasses that of other Escape Techniques.

If they truly wanted to shake them off, with the Escape Speed of their Mutated Earth Escape Technique, it would be quite easy to lose those four Mutated Beings in this kind of plain terrain.

xiao Mu thought about it and finally said, "No need, if they really are following us, we might shake them off temporarily but not forever, so we might as well take the opportunity to deal with the trouble. If they're not following us, there's no need to shake them off. They'll go on their own after a while."

"I say we just kill them directly, regardless of whether they're hostile or not, and talk after a fight," mumbled Du Wenzhen, slightly dissatisfied with Xiao Mu's decision.

Xiao Mu couldn't help but glare at Du Wenzhen, feeling the need to knock some sense into him who had been getting too arrogant, "Why don't you… take care of them yourself?"

"Old Xiao, are you joking with me? How could I handle four people on my own?" Du Wenzhen protested dissatisfiedly.

"If you can't handle it, then shut up!" Xiao Mu didn't mince his words.

Unhappy, Du Wenzhen huffed but stopped mentioning dealing with the four people following them.

The two maintained their speed and continued their journey to the Nanhua Domain.

They passed through the Cuiyun Mountain Region, and without stopping, Xiao Mu and Du Wenzhen continued southward. After crossing the Cuiyun Mountain Region, they finally reached the border of the Nanhua Domain.

The border of the Nanhua Domain was located at the southernmost point of the Ancient Luo Capital, with Guwan City further south.

Continuing their travel within the Nanhua Domain's borders for about a day, a vast forest came into view.

"Old Xiao, this is the place, the Divine Spirit Battlefield I told you about is inside this forest," Du Wenzhen looked at the forest and introduced it to Xiao Mu, "This is the Ancient God Forest, formed after the World Mutation. It's said to be named because people often find divine relics from ancient divine spirits within it."

"Oh! What exactly has been found?" Xiao Mu asked curiously.

Du Wenzhen said, "A lot, it's said someone found a Soul-hooking rope, a Life-threatening Plate, and even a Soul Summoning Banner in the forest."

The Soul-hooking rope, Life-threatening Plate, and Soul Summoning Banner are all items used by envoys of death.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Mu made a judgment, his eyes flashing with insight, "In that case, this Ancient God Forest is very likely to be a Land God Mansion, or even possibly a City God Mansion."

"I hope it's a City God Mansion," Du Wenzhen's face showed anticipation.

Everyone knew that the treasures obtained from a City God Mansion were on a much higher level than those from a Land God Mansion.

"It's not very likely." Xiao Mu gently shook his head, "But if it really is a City God Mansion, the danger will be even greater. After entering the forest, we must be extra cautious."

"Haha! Old Xiao, your strength has improved, but not your courage," Du Wenzhen laughed aloud, actually ridiculing Xiao Mu.

Xiao Mu, dissatisfied, responded, "You're brave. Once we're in the Ancient Battlefield, will you take care of everything?"

"And all the treasures found will belong to me?" Du Wenzhen asked arrogantly.

Xiao Mu agreed without hesitation, "Sure, you take care of everything and the treasures will be yours."

"Come on! Old Xiao, you're really good at shirking responsibility, I was just speaking offhandedly, and you took it seriously," Du Wenzhen immediately chickened out.

He was very aware that without Xiao Mu, he couldn't possibly explore the so-called Divine Spirits Battlefield on his own, and encountering a formidable presence from the Curse Gate could very well mean death.

"Then stop talking nonsense!" Xiao Mu scolded.

"Haha! Old Xiao, you really lack a sense of humor," Du Wenzhen laughed, not at all upset by Xiao Mu's scolding.

Xiao Mu decided to ignore him and opened his spiritual eyes to look deep into the forest, a Golden Light shot from his eyes, extending into the interior of the forest.

The forest seemed to be shrouded in a persistent Fog, severely obstructing the view, to such an extent that even Xiao Mu's spiritual eyes could not see very far.

Xiao Mu's heart tightened slightly, this lingering fog was the transformation of divine spirits' resentment. Ordinary people, even just touched by a hint of it, would fall into Hell and be damned for all eternity.

"The resentment in the forest is heavy, the Great War must have been extremely fierce. Once we enter, we need to be extremely cautious," Xiao Mu couldn't help but remind Du Wenzhen.

Judging from the current intensity of the resentment in the forest, some True Gods must have fallen; otherwise, such potent resentment wouldn't have been formed.

The so-called True Gods included at least levels like Land Gods, Kitchen Gods, Mountain Gods, Judges, and so on, with envoys of death not quite on the level of True Gods.

Du Wenzhen smirked dismissively at Xiao Mu, "Old Xiao, you're really cowardly. If the divine spirits in the forest were still alive, they would have come out long ago. They're all dead gods, what's there to fear? In my opinion, what we really should be worried about isn't the Divine Spirits Battlefield, but the people from the Curse Gate."
