Li Guangyou shared the address, and Xiao Mu rushed over.

Li Guangyou's so-called friend lived in the same neighborhood as him, not too far away.

Of course, that was before the World Mutation. After the World Mutation, there was at least a ten-minute drive between the two homes.

When Xiao Mu arrived, Li Guangyou and his friend had come out to wait for him at the intersection.

"Mr. Mu, let me introduce you."

Seeing Xiao Mu, Li Guangyou enthusiastically walked up with his friend, introducing him, "This is Xu Qingyuan, an old neighbor of mine for many years."

"Qingyuan, this is Mr. Mu whom I told you about. Mr. Mu possesses great divine powers, he helped solve the problems in my house before."

Xu Qingyuan was about the same age as Li Guangyou, both around forty-five or six. He was wearing very casual clothes, but he looked exceptionally haggard.

After hearing Li Guangyou's introduction, he immediately stepped forward enthusiastically to shake hands with Xiao Mu, "Mr. Mu, hello, I trust you with the issues at my house."

"Mr. Xu, hello to you as well. I've got your house issues covered, rest assured."

Xiao Mu shook hands with him, but his gaze involuntarily stayed on Xu Qingyuan, sizing him up.

To his surprise, what he saw took him aback.

Besides a face shrouded in black gas, which showed he was struck by evil absurdity and misfortune, Xu Qingyuan gave Xiao Mu an oddly unsettling feeling.

A single look at Xu Qingyuan's skin made Xiao Mu feel a suffocating sense of death.

Not only did Xu Qingyuan exude a deathly aura, but he also emitted a strong scent of blood.

The smell made people want to vomit uncontrollably.

Staring intently at his complexion, Xiao Mu was slightly shocked.

How could this be?

It feels like his blood has been drained?

No, that's not right. It's not that his blood has been drained, but that the spiritual energy in his blood has been nearly exhausted, leaving only lifeless, vitality-free blood.

What is going on?

Xiao Mu furrowed his brows.

Even he couldn't see through the events happening around Xu Qingyuan in a short time.

This was too strange. This kind of situation isn't something an ordinary evil absurdity could create.

Evil ghosts, fierce ghosts, and even ordinary blood demons don't possess this kind of power.

Could it be a higher-level blood demon?

After careful consideration, even advanced blood demons, including the Blue Blood Ghost, probably do not have this ability.

Could it be a curse ghost?

As soon as this thought popped up, Xiao Mu quickly dismissed it.

Although curse ghosts have already appeared, they haven't shown up in the city yet. Otherwise, the intense curse power emanating from them might cause large groups of humans to fall ill, or even die.

The curse brought by a curse ghost is much worse than a plague.

It must be a blood demon.

Could the blood demon have laid a special trap?

Xiao Mu immediately came to this guess.

"Mr. Xu, can you describe any strange occurrences in your house?"

Xiao Mu asked, puzzled.

"Mr. Mu, shall we walk and talk?"

Xu Qingyuan extended the invitation for Xiao Mu to accompany him to his house.

"Very well."

Xiao Mu nodded.

Then Xu Qingyuan led the way, and the three of them walked forward. Shortly after, through winding paths, they had reached the front of a courtyard.

"This is..."

The scene above the courtyard startled Xiao Mu once again.

"How can this be?"

Just like Li Guangyou's house, this is an old courtyard.

Over the old courtyard, a thick and dense cloud of Yin Qi envelops the sky, as if the heavens have fallen halfway.

The entire Xu Family's old courtyard is shrouded within this cloud of Yin Qi, appearing as if it's always nighttime.

This condition is entirely opposite from those of the neighbouring houses in the far distance from the old courtyard.

Currently, it's broad daylight, the sun is shining brightly, and the weather is fine, except for where the Xu Family resides. It is safe to say that sunshine is everywhere except for the Xu Family's home, stepping out of their gate, and you are greeted with sunshine.

Only the Xu Family's home is entirely enveloped by the Yin Qi, seemingly perpetually shrouded in darkness, impervious to the sunlight.

It feels like an odd situation where the sun is rising in the east and it's raining in the west.

"It's so dark!"

As his mood was struck, Xiao Mu couldn't help but exclaim.

"Mr. Mu, what is so dark?"

Xu Qingyuan quickly inquired.

"It's nothing."

Xiao Mu shook his head, not in a rush to explain.

He possesses the Spiritual Eye, capable of detecting anomalous phenomena, which common folk like Xu Qingyuan can't perceive. I fear that he has not realized from the start to the end that his courtyard is shrouded in shadows and constantly steeped in darkness.

"Mr. Mu, have you discovered something?"

Li Guangyou very astutely noticed something and couldn't help but ask Xiao Mu with surprise etched on his face.

Previously, in his home, Xiao Mu had perceived the scenario he couldn't see—he had experience with that.

Xiao Mu shook his head but did not answer.

The situation at Xu Family's home is very eerie; it seems as if some atypical entity is engaging in specific activities.

What are they doing?

A sacrifice?

Summoning?

Or else, engaging in a bizarre activity similar to the coffin plundering at Li's house with the intent of ruining the Xu Family? Snatching the Xu Family's luck, enhancing themselves to achieve the purpose of advancing?

Xiao Mu felt a shudder in his heart.

The situation is grave, dire, doubtlessly unlike Zhao Family's ancestral hall where a single Blood Demon appeared. This involves several evil spirits in action, engaging in some complicated, indescribable and unpredictable activities.

"Mr. Mu, please come in."

Xu Qingyuan extends his hand to push open the courtyard gate.

An old-fashioned archway was built at the doorway of this old courtyard, and the main gate is a typical big iron gate.

However, to Xiao Mu's surprise, even though it's a standard big iron gate, the Xu Family deliberately blocked off the threshold beneath the door.

In modern times, except for old-style courtyards, ordinary households would not use a threshold at their courtyard gates. This scenario caught Xiao Mu by surprise.

He couldn't help but glance towards Li Guangyou.

As Xiao Mu expected, before Li Guangyou spoke, Xu Qingyuan had already answered the doubt in Xiao Mu's heart, "Mr. Mu, I heard about what happened at Li's home, so I placed a threshold at my house gate."

Xiao Mu nodded in acknowledgment.

But Li Guangyou suddenly said: "Mr. Mu, look, the threshold of Li's home was also broken yesterday. Could what happened to their home be the same as my home?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Qingyuan instantly became tense, looking anxiously at Xiao Mu.

He had been worrying about the issue raised by Li Guangyou since morning.

After hearing what happened at the Li Family's home, he immediately had a carpenter make a detachable threshold for his home's gate. To his surprise, not two days after it was installed, his threshold was shattered last night.

Hearing this, Xiao Mu once again looked at the threshold of Xu Qingyuan's house.

Like the Li family, this threshold was indeed broken.

The Yin Qi is heavy at the breakage, filled with ghostly chills, making it evident that it was destroyed by some evil or atypical entity.

However, Xiao Mu's gaze only scanned the threshold before it settled on Xu Qingyuan's main gate.

How could this be?

The scene on the main gate took Xiao Mu aback.

The main gate of the Xu family was shrouded in grim Yin Qi. At first glance, it didn't feel like an ordinary gate, but instead a door to hell, a Ghost Gate.
