"You have stripped me of my authority!"

The chimpanzee man's expression turned to one of terror, his face contorting as the loss of his role reduced his strength dramatically.

Bang!

The response to the chimpanzee man was an eight-sided hammer flashing with golden light, which, like a golden glow launched from Xiao Mu's hand, struck the top of the chimpanzee man's head, shattering his skull like a watermelon.

Power +6.

"Fight him with all we've got!"

The man in the black suit roared in anger. The death of the chimpanzee man instilled fear in him, as Xiao Mu was overwhelmingly stronger. In their confrontation, Xiao Mu gave them no chance before killing the chimpanzee man and stripping him of his role.

"Let's attack together!" The old tree stump man shouted loudly to the man in the black suit, shaking the River of Netherworld violently.

The brilliance of Reincarnation sprinkled down from the water like shining stars falling to the ground, and the dark glow headed towards Xiao Mu.

"You block him, and I'll use the treasure to eradicate him." The man in the black suit roared as he initiated an Escape Technique, rushing towards Xiao Mu's rear.

"Ah~"

The old tree stump man let out a hysterical roar of rage, calling upon the power of Nether to its peak. Underworld Emissaries swung chains, aiming to loop them around Xiao Mu's neck from within the River of Netherworld.

Buzz!

Golden light emanated from Xiao Mu, with the figure of the Land God appearing overhead, cloaked in a Xuan Yang Flame Gold Robe emanating waves of golden light.

Thump!

Both the brilliance of the River of Netherworld and the Netherworld Chains struck the Xuan Yang Flame Gold Robe, making a dull noise, and their authority and power were all absorbed.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh!

The man in the black suit, covered in the yellow brilliance of the Earth Escape Technique, headed behind Xiao Mu but suddenly turned and fled into the distance, with no intention of attacking Xiao Mu.

"Chu Qingmu, you... shameless!"

The old tree stump man was inflamed upon seeing the man in the black suit escape, cursing loudly at him.

Buzz!

The Seal of the Heavenly Emperor and the Great Decree appeared above the head of the old tree stump man. The word 'strip' came from Xiao Mu's mouth repeatedly, and a human-shaped illusion in the Emperor's Seal reached out twice in quick succession, stripping the Netherworld Chains and the authority of the Underworld Emissary from the old tree stump man.

Bang!

Xiao Mu once again swung the eight-sided hammer down on the old tree stump man's forehead. The man's body stiffened, head shattered, and he collapsed to the ground.

Power +6.

"Reincarnation!"

As the man in the black suit fled, the injured Zhao Yaogu preempted Xiao Mu by taking out the Reincarnation Mirror. The light of Reincarnation shone on the man in the black suit.

The greenish-black light of Reincarnation struck the man in the black suit's back, transforming past and present, bringing the man in the black suit back to his original position, as if he had never moved.

"Zhao Yaogu, I'll kill you one day." The man in the black suit, shocked green in the face from the Reincarnation Mirror, roared angrily at Zhao Yaogu.

"Strip!"

The sound of 'strip' came from Xiao Mu's mouth again, and the likeness of the Land God flew out from the man in the black suit, transforming into the Earth Seal in Xiao Mu's hand.

Bang!

The eight-sided hammer, flashing with golden light, flew once again from Xiao Mu's hand, striking and greatly damaging the man in the black suit.

Power +6.

What a pity!

Placing the Earth Seal into the Earth Seal Space, Xiao Mu couldn't help but feel regret. He had killed the man in the black suit too hastily, the Geography Chronicles was put away before the kill, and Xiao Mu failed to strip it away before the man's death dissipated.

Despite this, Xiao Mu was quite satisfied with stripping away three Yin God roles.

"Many thanks, Brother Xiao, for coming to rescue in time."

Zhao Yaogu staggered over to thank Xiao Mu.

"Regrettably I was too late, one fellow practitioner could not be saved in time." Xiao Mu felt deep regret, as a Mutated Being from the human world had been killed before he arrived.

"The one who was killed was Chu Qing of our Twilight Forest Village. Thank you, fellow Daoist, for your help. Had you not arrived in time, both Zhao and I would've been in grave danger."

Yu Jiasheng walked over to Xiao Mu to express his gratitude, deeply bowing with great sincerity. At this moment, Xiao Mu appeared in his true form and Yu did not recognize him as Mu Huaqing.

"Leader Yu is too courteous. As we are all from the human world, helping is what should be done. Let's leave this place first."

Xiao Mu gestured to Yu Jiasheng to not be overly polite and signaled for Yu and Zhao to depart.

The Eternal Ancestor was sent away by Xiao Mu using the power of Creation. Perhaps after some time, he could return. Xiao Mu didn't have the confidence to kill his opponent and chose not to wait.

"Brother Xiao, Brother Zhao, come to our station," Yu Jiasheng came over to recruit Xiao Mu and Zhao Yaogu, hoping the two would return with him to the Village Protection Team's base.

Xiao Mu suddenly turned to smile at Yu Jiasheng, speaking gently: "Please go back first, Leader Yu. Zhao and I have some matters that need discussion. Once we've settled these issues, we will certainly find an opportunity to visit the Village Protection Team's station."

"This..."

Yu Jiasheng was startled, bewildered by Xiao Mu's refusal, and turned his doubtful gaze towards Zhao Yaogu.

Zhao Yaogu suddenly straightened his spine, inadvertently furrowing his brow from exerting himself too forcefully, but then smiled and said, "Leader Yu, please return first. Once I've resolved the matters here, I'll come to visit Leader Yu."

"It seems Brother Xiao and Daoist Zhao have private matters to discuss. In that case, I won't bother you any longer, and I will await your arrival at the station anytime," said Yu Jiasheng, bowing to Xiao Mu and Zhao Yaogu before initiating the Earth Escape Technique to head for the Village Protection Team's base.
