"Yes, yes!"

Yang Jing accepted, mustering his courage to use the Yin and Yang Steps as he walked toward the southeast.

"Good day, Domain Master Yang!"

"Domain Master Yang, hello! Where are you off to?"

"Domain Master Yang, I just caught a mutant carp, come and have a drink tonight!"

Along the way, many ordinary Mutated Beings greeted Yang Jing warmly.

Wrapped in fear, Yang Jing did not respond, and continued to use the Yin and Yang Steps to hurry along tremulously.

Xiao Mu followed closely behind.

The two of them kept heading southeast, and before long, they passed Qinghu Lake and came to a forest.

The temperature in the forest was very low; the trees had turned a dark hue due to mutations, and were covered with frost.

"Xiao... Mr. Xiao, this is the Cold Forest, the Mutated Being from the Five Elements Sect, he has entered the Cold Forest," Yang Jing whispered to Xiao Mu, his voice trembling with fear.

"Good, keep leading the way, straight to the destination," Xiao Mu nodded in approval and then urged him on.

"Yes, yes." Yang Jing responded with trepidation and continued deeper into the Cold Forest.

Several hours later, a sudden noise came from ahead, causing both Xiao Mu and Yang Jing to turn their heads to look.

In front stood five Human World Mutated Beings, three men and two women. None of them had extraordinary strength, but none were particularly weak either, each at the Mortal Realm Fifth Level.

The strongest among them was a man in a grey suit paired with black leather shoes. His hair was neatly combed backwards, and he looked immaculate, his strength at the Peak Mortal Realm Fifth Level, about the same as Yang Jing.

Additionally, one of the women was holding a Mutant Beast on a leash.

The beast looked like a dog but had a long trunk similar to that of an elephant. Its long trunk unfurled, sniffing at the ground continuously as if searching for something.

The elephant-dog Mutant Beast moved agilely and ran forward at high speed, followed closely by the five Mutated Beings who unfolded their movements, trailing right behind it.

The noise from Xiao Mu and Yang Jing's sudden appearance quickly alerted the five Mutated Beings, who all turned to look at them.

"Vice-Domain Master Wang!"

"Domain Master Yang!"

Yang Jing and the strongest man among the five spoke simultaneously, recognizing each other.

"Vice-Domain Master Wang, please come over," Yang Jing called out to the man, stopping in his tracks.

"Heh!"

Wang Chu, the man in the suit, sneered, glancing disdainfully at Yang Jing, "Domain Master Yang, don't you see that I am busy? Furthermore, as a Vice-Domain Master, Domain Master Yang isn't in a position to order me around. Mind your words!"

Yang Jing angrily said, "Vice-Domain Master Wang, are you being presumptuous toward Respected Envoy Xiao?"

"Respected Envoy Xiao, which one is Respected Envoy Xiao? I wasn't aware of any Respected Envoy Xiao," Wang Chu clearly knew whom Yang Jing was referring to, but deliberately ignored Xiao Mu.

"Presumptuous!"

Yang Jing rebuked sharply, turning to Xiao Mu, "Respected Envoy Xiao, this is Wang Chu, the Vice-Domain Master."

Then, turning towards Wang Chu, he called out, "Vice-Domain Master Wang, this is Xiao Mu, Respected Envoy from the Great Tang Ruins, won't you come over for an introduction?"

Wang Chu huffed in displeasure to show his dissatisfaction with Yang Jing, but still clasped his hands towards Xiao Mu, "Wang Chu pays his respects to Respected Envoy Xiao. Respected Envoy Xiao, I have an important task at hand and will not make a special trip over for an introduction. Please forgive me!"

The man only clasped his hands from a distance toward Xiao Mu, never actually approaching him.

"Forget it!"

Xiao Mu waved it off, feeling somewhat displeased inside, "If Vice-Domain Master Wang has a task at hand, then by all means, carry on."

"Thank you for your understanding, Respected Envoy Xiao," Wang Chu said his thanks, but his face bore not a trace of respect for Xiao Mu, signaling the other two men and women, "Let's go!"

The group, along with the elephant-dog Mutant Beast, quickly left.

"Respected Envoy Xiao, you see, even in your presence, Wang Chu dares to be so arrogant. He doesn't take you seriously at all!" Yang Jing said indignantly to Xiao Mu.

"It is reasonable for Vice-Domain Master Wang to have a task and not come over," Xiao Mu said with a smile, unfazed by Yang Jing's instigation.

"Some task! That guy just wants to suck up to Inspector Li Mu," Yang Jing cursed resentfully, but then quickly realized it was inappropriate to use foul language in front of Xiao Mu and rapidly apologized, "I'm sorry, Respected Envoy Xiao, please don't be offended. I was just angry, not really meaning to curse."

"It's fine!"

Xiao Mu said unconcernedly, waving his hand dismissively, then casually asked, "What kind of person is this Inspector Li Mu?"
