Xiao Mu felt his heart calm down a lot again after listening. He felt Zhu Ke was a person of good character, much better than Wang Yuan. He immediately thanked him, saying, "I appreciate Zhu Grand Elder's concern. Rest assured, I am not a reckless person. If I truly encounter a strong enemy, I will definitely seek help immediately."

"Haha! As it should be."

Zhu Ke laughed again, then curiously asked, "I am quite curious about how Xiao Grand Elder killed Feng Ping. Of course, if it's inconvenient to talk about, Xiao Grand Elder doesn't have to answer."

Xiao Mu said lightly, "There's nothing worth hiding. I cultivated the Creation Divine Axe, and during the battle with Feng Ping, I collided my True God Realm with his. At the moment of collision, I took the opportunity to use the Creation Divine Axe, thus catching Feng Ping off guard. His True God Realm was broken by me, and I then killed him with Ruyi Spiritual Light."

Zhu Ke listened and couldn't help but be amazed again.

In fact, not just him, Wang Yuan was equally astonished.

Eventually, Wang Yuan couldn't help saying, "The Creation Divine Axe, probably isn't that strong, right? I've seen this divine technique before, and its power is just like that. Xiao Grand Elder could kill Feng Ping with the Creation Divine Axe?"

"My Creation Divine Axe has been improved, and its power is stronger than ordinary Creation Divine Axe." Xiao Mu answered lightly, but his tone still carried a hint of dissatisfaction.

Zhu Ke suddenly realized, "I see, no wonder Xiao Grand Elder could easily kill Feng Ping. The improved Creation Divine Axe must be very powerful."

"I understand and am completely reassured about Xiao Grand Elder's strength. Next, I'd like Xiao Grand Elder to continue guarding the northern part of Eastern Desolation. If any accident occurs, such as a Heavenly Court attack, please notify me and Wang Yuan immediately, and we will support Xiao Grand Elder right away."

Obviously worried that Wang Yuan would say something discordant again, angering Xiao Mu, Zhu Ke quickly took over the conversation, praised Xiao Mu, and then directly changed the topic.

This approach made Xiao Mu have somewhat more goodwill towards him; indeed, he was a good person, and working with him was certainly easier than with Wang Yuan.

Thus, after agreeing, Zhu Ke directly hung up the Telepathic Talisman.

The transmission from Wang Yuan, who suddenly joined, also ended simultaneously.

After Xiao Mu hung up the Telepathic Talisman, he immediately flew outside the city.

Zhu Ke's words gave him some reminders, causing him to suddenly come up with a new countermeasure.

Previously, with Feng Ping killed, the ancient city would definitely be targeted by strong figures from the Heavenly Court. Perhaps at any moment, someone from the Heavenly Court could descend to retaliate.

And if he hides in the shadows, he can strike when the Heavenly Court figures descend and kill them.

Otherwise, he might be discovered by them first.

He doesn't fear being found by people from the Heavenly Court, but rather worries they might flee once knowing his whereabouts.

Meanwhile, the news of Feng Ping's death has already spread back.

Above the high heavens, far from the mortal world, those brilliant figures gather again.

A sharp female voice exclaims, "Feng Ping is dead? Darn it, who killed him?"

Immediately following, a male voice full of composed hatred calls out, "Feng Ping is my fellow disciple, and I am obliged to avenge him."

"Let us descend to Eastern Desolation, kill all living beings there, and avenge Feng Ping."

Earlier, a brilliant figure who seemed to be the leader immediately stepped out to stop them, "No, the task is more important. Entering Eastern Desolation now will disrupt our plan. Before Feng Ping descended, I had advised him, but he refused to listen and insisted on going down. Now that he's dead, he has no one else to blame. We cannot disrupt the whole plan because of him."

"So, Feng Ping's death means nothing then?"

The composed, hateful male's tone reveals strong dissatisfaction.

"Nothing? How could it mean nothing?"

The leader-like man dismisses, "In time, when the moment arrives, we will descend, and you'll naturally have the opportunity to avenge Feng Ping."

"Currently, it's not the ideal time to descend. Disrupting the plan is disadvantageous to us overall."

"Hehe, hehe hehe!"

The composed male suddenly sneers, "Plan, plan, I don't care about any plan. Feng Ping is dead, and I should avenge him. Whoever killed Feng Ping, I will kill them. If you do not descend, I will descend."

With that said, this brilliant figure directly descends, ignoring the leader-like person, and begins to fall toward the mortal world.

He unfolds the Riding Clouds and Mist technique, transforming into a wisp of Retribution Cloud flying straight to the human world.

"He Zhuo, wait for me, I will go with you."

The female voice shouts loudly, similarly manifesting and suddenly pursuing the composed male's voice and form to descend together into the mortal world.

"Xu Ling, stop!"

The leader-like person hurriedly tries to stop them, even casting a web-like golden light over the female voice's form, trying to halt her descent.

The female voice, Xu Ling, flashes her body into Brilliance, bypasses the golden light, then seemingly turns her focus toward the leader's golden light. "You refuse to go; how can you stop me from going? Although Feng Ping was rash, he was ultimately our fellow disciple. He's dead, and you just watch without assisting him. What kind of fellow disciples are you? Whoever tries to stop me, I'll fight them first today."

Saying this, from within the golden light, two beams, like sightlines, pierce the leader, evidently an angry Xu Ling.

The leader, affected by Xu Ling's gaze, is visibly impacted emotionally, hence no longer blocks Xu Ling, "If you insist on descending, then descend; there's no need to lose your temper."

"Humph, if you weren't hindering me, I would have descended long ago. You cold-hearted people should reflect, if it were you dead, would Feng Ping avenge you?"

Xu Ling's golden gaze again sweeps over the crowd.

Covered within the golden light, several figures suddenly ripple, visibly compelled by Xu Ling's gaze, impacting them with shame.

"I will descend with you and avenge Feng Ping."

Suddenly, a thick male voice loudly declares, simultaneously jumping out from the crowd to join Xu Ling.

As a result, within the golden light, several more ripples appear.

Seeing this, the leader secretly calls out "Not good," fearing if everyone is swayed by Xu Ling and follows to the human world, not only will the plan be disrupted, but they will also definitely be punished.

How could he allow things to escalate? Hence, urgently steps out to convince the crowd, "Everyone, think of the bigger picture; the plan cannot change. If it does, we will definitely be punished."

"To hell with the bigger picture!"

Xu Ling curses aloud but ceases to incite others. She glances at the thick-voiced male, then takes the lead in descending.

The thick-voiced male immediately follows suit, joining Xu Ling as she descends.

Originally, others seemed incited to follow, but under the leader's persuasion, they changed their minds and did not go out recklessly.

Nonetheless, losing three people consecutively, descending together still made the leader's face look displeased. He sighed deeply but had no choice, watching as their figures gradually faded, continuously falling into the mortal world.

"Continue to hold position and await command. During this period, no one is allowed to order or independently rush to the human world, or I will report it, and when punishment arrives, everyone must bear it themselves." Concerned others might start considering descending to the mortal world, the leader's golden light flashed with strong warning tones.

Meanwhile, on the other side, He Zhuo, Xu Ling, and the thick-voiced man have already united, hastily flying towards the human world.
