"This tribulation cloud has been above my head ever since I spoke?"
Xiao Mu couldn't suppress a sense of panic.
The tribulation cloud he saw with his Divine Eye vastly exceeded his expectations, and the inherent danger posed a significant threat to him.
The tribulation cloud seemed to exist since birth, impossible to dispel, yet it might fall at any time.
This meant that an accident could happen at any moment, and he was powerless to stop it.
"I must find a way to deal with this tribulation cloud," he thought.
Xiao Mu felt increasingly uneasy, looking up at the tribulation cloud in the sky, the feeling of disquiet in his heart intensifying.
This tribulation cloud was not only uncontrollable, but it was also beyond resistance; once it fell, the consequences were unimaginable.
Fortunately, the cloud seemed to lack consciousness and would not fall on its own, posing no constant threat to Xiao Mu's life, which was somewhat reassuring.
"No matter what, I have to find a way to resolve this tribulation cloud issue; otherwise, having it hang over my head long-term is too threatening," he resolved internally.
Xiao Mu pondered nonstop in his mind.
The Ghost Servant, after searching the corpses of the irascible man from the human world and the man from Curse Gate, came over, holding two Storage Boxes respectfully and bowed, "Master, here are the items from the bodies."
"Good!"
Xiao Mu nodded, took the Storage Boxes from the Ghost Servant's hands, and then gave further instructions, "Go dispose of that man's corpse from the human world, leaving no trace, so nobody can trace the killing back to me."
Although killing the irascible man from the human world was purely the latter's own fault, the trouble-averse Xiao Mu still chose not to leave the corpse behind, to avoid complications.
"As you command!" The Ghost Servant agreed and turned to dispose of the corpse of the irascible man from the human world.
Xiao Mu began inspecting the two Storage Boxes. Inside, the main items were Energy Fruits, totaling roughly three or four thousand, and besides those were some strange materials.
Xiao Mu picked up several materials to examine, and finding them to be materials for refining and array formation, casually placed them back in the Storage Box.
These materials could also be worth some Energy Fruits, but unfortunately, there were no magic treasures.
However, on second thought, magic treasures were no ordinary objects, and the possibility of the irascible man from the human world and the man from Curse Gate possessing them was really slim.
Besides, even if he obtained a magic treasure, it might not suit Xiao Mu for use.
Especially the magic treasures of Curse Gate, which generally relied on Curse Power to operate; Xiao Mu certainly couldn't use them.
After putting away the Storage Boxes, he cast a hand gesture towards the corpse of the man from the Curse Gate, obtaining a huge evil bead.
"Master, the corpse has been dealt with."
The Ghost Servant returned from disposing of the corpse and reported to Xiao Mu.
"Good!" Xiao Mu nodded in satisfaction. In this way, it would be very difficult for anyone to discover that he had killed the irascible man from the human world unless a Mutated Being proficient in divination deliberately sought to divine the cause of his death.
"Take this evil bead and assimilate it," he said, tossing the bead to the Ghost Servant.
"Thank you, Master!" The Ghost Servant expressed gratitude, caught the bead, took it into his body, and began to assimilate it slowly.
Xiao Mu put away the Ghost Servant, circled the Land God Mansion, and finding nothing else, decided to leave.
He returned the same way he came and exited the same way he entered; a few hours later, Xiao Mu appeared in the human world.
Making out the way, Xiao Mu used the Earth Escape Technique to return to the Great Tang Ruins.
Not long after, he suddenly saw two flashes of yellow light speeding towards him from a distance with astonishing rapidity.
"Earth Escape Technique! Who's using this Earth Escape Technique, and so quickly!" Xiao Mu was surprised by the speed of the yellow light.
Although these two flashes of yellow light were also Earth Escape Technique, they weren't a Mutated Earth Escape Technique like the one Xiao Mu practiced; their speed was even faster.
This meant that the people approaching surpassed him by far in their realms.
That was the only possibility.
Otherwise, even a Mutant at the peak of the Yin God Realm couldn't possibly be faster than Xiao Mu's Mutated Earth Escape Technique.
The yellow light rapidly closed in on Xiao Mu. Initially planning to evade, Xiao Mu reconsidered sharply and decided against it.
It was better to find out whether the other party was friend or foe before attempting to dodge; otherwise, he might provoke unnecessary hostility from a powerful being.
"Xiao Mu, it's actually you!"
The yellow light quickly reached the vicinity, and the Mutant within it recognized Xiao Mu first.
"Do you know him?" the figure covered by another flash of yellow light asked the one in front.
"An acquaintance!" replied the first yellow light.
The Escape Light ceased, and the two people slowly emerged from the yellow light.
"Elder Zun, I didn't expect to see you here," Xiao Mu greeted, recognizing one of the individuals.
This person was none other than the one who recognized Xiao Mu just before, Elder Zun of the Great Tang Ruins.
The other person, clad in golden yellow robes, was of indeterminate age, anywhere from fifty to seventy years old was possible.
This man had an average build and a somewhat cold demeanor and tone.
Elder Zun wore a smile, but after taking a careful look at Xiao Mu, his face changed dramatically, and he exclaimed, "Xiao Mu, you've acquired a Divine Spirit Tablet?"
Upon hearing this, the man in golden yellow robes was taken aback and couldn't help but take a few more glances at Xiao Mu, expressing his astonishment, "At the Mid Yin God Realm and already obtained a Divine Spirit Tablet, this young man is no ordinary individual!"
Xiao Mu was momentarily stunned, and then quickly realized that because he hadn't concealed the divine light behind him, Elder Zun and the man in the golden yellow robes had discovered that he now possessed a Divine Spirit Tablet.
