The two held a suspicious attitude.
"The Heavenly Court, someone from the Heavenly Court has descended!"
"So terrifying!"
"How many people have they killed, the very sky has turned black!"
"It's so horrible, let's escape quickly!"
In every corner of the Eastern Desolation, the ordinary people were gripped with fear.
He Zhuo, Xu Ling, and Kong Xi's killing of ordinary people and the soul collection caused the swirling dust, instilling terror, a gruesome sight only possible with a huge number of deaths.
Once again, people from the human world began to flee. Many were heading south, and indeed, most wanted to escape the Eastern Desolation altogether.
Unfortunately, the passage between the human world and the Eastern Desolation was something that these ordinary people could not traverse, too high to reach without the ability to fly.
"It's here with us."
"It's in the north!"
Qin Yuan and Mo Lin saw the black smoke in the north of the Eastern Desolation at the same time. Compared to the average beings of the Eastern Desolation, they were more frightened.
The smoke was too terrifying; clearly, a powerful being was killing.
And this powerful being appeared in the northern Eastern Desolation and started killing indiscriminately. Who were they after?
Undoubtedly, they were targeting Grand Elder Xiao.
Grand Elder Xiao killed their people, which immediately provoked the Heavenly Court's retaliation, causing them to invade the northern Eastern Desolation indiscriminately.
The two were frightened.
The people of the Heavenly Court dared to kill so recklessly, clearly unafraid, and how could Grand Elder Xiao withstand them? Inevitably, they began to worry for Xiao Mu.
"Stop!"
Xiao Mu was furious beyond words. Flying north on a cloud, he finally saw He Zhuo, Xu Ling, and Kong Xi outside a village, wielding soul-collecting flags and slaughtering indiscriminately.
The three wielded the soul-collecting flags, which were spinning wildly like windmills. Amidst the spinning, black gas emanated from within the flags.
This black gas charged into the crowd, instantly taking lives.
This method was too cruel and frightening.
However, Xiao Mu did not know that He Zhuo, Xu Ling, and Kong Xi had not even used their full abilities.
Their main aim in using the soul-collecting flags to kill the beings of the human world was soul collection, and if they genuinely wanted to kill, they had much simpler methods available.
The ordinary people of the northern Eastern Desolation could not withstand slaughter from such True God-level beings.
While He Zhuo, Xu Ling, and Kong Xi were indulging in slaughter, they noticed Xiao Mu.
Upon seeing Xiao Mu, the three were startled.
They immediately assessed Xiao Mu's strength and recognized him as a True God-level power.
Yet, Xu Ling and Kong Xi did not recognize Xiao Mu, but He Zhuo couldn't help but scrutinize him closely.
"Who are you? In the north of the Eastern Desolation, besides Zhu Ke and Kong Xi, there's a third True God, and I wasn't aware?"
Xu Ling's fierce gaze fixated on Xiao Mu, probing for his identity and name.
But He Zhuo kept his gaze on Xiao Mu, carefully identifying him, and soon, he stared at Xiao Mu, gritting his teeth, and shouted, "Are you Xiao Mu? The one Emperor Taija named to have?"
"What? He is Xiao Mu?"
"He is Xiao Mu?"
Both Xu Ling and Kong Xi were shocked to discover that the person before them was Xiao Mu.
How could Xiao Mu be here? Could it be that the Eastern Desolation has connected with the human world's headquarters, and they have dispatched Xiao Mu to support the Eastern Desolation?
"Who are you? Why are you killing indiscriminately in the north of the Eastern Desolation? As True Gods, you only dare slaughter ordinary people; what kind of ability is that? If you want to kill, why not directly confront a more powerful being?"
Xiao Mu was extremely indignant; He Zhuo, Xu Ling, and Kong Xi were disgraceful for slaughtering ordinary people.
He Zhuo's gaze towards Xiao Mu grew fiercer. By now, he finally understood why Feng Ping was killed; it turned out to be Xiao Mu.
As a powerful being of the Heavenly Court, he had long known about Xiao Mu's prowess, and with Xiao Mu's strength compared to Feng Ping's, encountering Xiao Mu clearly led only to death for Feng Ping.
Thus, he unequivocally resolved his inner doubts and began to understand why Feng Ping was killed in the Eastern Desolation—Xiao Mu had come.
He stared firmly at Xiao Mu and asked with a sneer-worded grudge, "Xiao Mu, did Feng Ping indeed die by your hands?"
"You came for Feng Ping?"
Xiao Mu finally fully grasped the trio's intention, his gaze sweeping over He Zhuo, Xu Ling, and Kong Xi respectively.
Without hesitation, he nodded and acknowledged outright that Feng Ping was killed by him.
There was nothing to fear; indeed, Feng Ping was slain by him, "Yes, Feng Ping was killed by me; he, like you, was reaping ordinary lives in my north and was killed by me on the spot."
"Very well, so Feng Ping was truly killed by you? Then seeking vengeance on you is perfectly in place."
He Zhuo gradually calmed down, though his eyes still fiercely locked onto Xiao Mu.
Xiao Mu was his archenemy, and he swore not to rest until Xiao Mu was dead.
The responses of Xu Ling and Kong Xi were the same as He Zhuo. Upon hearing that Feng Ping was killed by Xiao Mu, they too exuded a murderous aura.
Xiao Mu became vigilant.
During their exchange, he had been assessing the strengths of these three. Among them, He Zhuo had the greatest strength, reaching the late True God stage, barely having just entered it, while Xu Ling and Kong Xi, slightly weaker, still had early True God stage strength.
With these three joining forces, even Xiao Mu found it troublesome.
Suddenly, with a flash of retribution's halo, He Zhuo's True God realm opened above him, revealing the Domain Suppression Platform. Without uttering a word, he directly struck at Xiao Mu.
The Ruyi Spiritual Light flickered, as the Ruyi Spiritual Light appeared above his head, aimed at Xiao Mu, they slashed down.
Since determining that Xiao Mu was the murderer of Feng Ping, there was nothing left to say but battle.
On the other side, Xu Ling and Kong Xi, evidently in great cooperation with He Zhuo, launched their assault almost simultaneously as He Zhuo attacked. Their True God realms appeared above their heads, and they directed their divine light to bombard Xiao Mu in concert with He Zhuo.
Rumble!
Xiao Mu defended himself but seemed momentarily unable to react, hit concurrently by the True God realms of all three.
Yet, at this moment, Xiao Mu's figure shattered instantly.
Witnessing this scene, the three were momentarily stunned.
Xiao Mu's strength was so feeble?
But quickly, He Zhuo, the first to react, shouted and urgently turned to Xu Ling, loudly warning, "Xu Ling, dodge quickly!"
Xu Ling's face changed abruptly, but she had no time to dodge as Xiao Mu's figure appeared behind her.
Changeable Divine Technique.
Such technique, utilized expertly in Xiao Mu's hands, left even True God-level experts defenseless.
Xiao Mu vanished and reappeared swiftly; in barely a blink, he was behind Xu Ling. With rumbling sounds, Ruyi Spiritual Light and True God realm emerged simultaneously, targeting Xu Ling with a strike.
Xu Ling, amidst the shock, hurriedly turned, almost instinctively revealing her True God realm behind her, attempting to withstand Xiao Mu's own True God realm and Ruyi Spiritual Light.
But with a pop sound, an object flickered in Xiao Mu's hand, the power of the True God realm coalescing, transforming into a tool resembling an axe but not quite an axe, swiftly attacking Xu Ling.
Rumble!
Xu Ling's True God realm collided with Xiao Mu's, and simultaneously their Ruyi divine light clashed.
Upon impact, Xu Ling's whole body trembled violently, and at this moment, Xiao Mu's Creation Divine Axe fell directly, smashing onto Xu Ling's True God realm.
Under the collision, Xu Ling's True God realm shattered immediately.
At this opportune moment, Xiao Mu struck again, the Creation Divine Axe descending with Ruyi Spiritual Light sweeping across. Thus, Xu Ling, her True God realm shattered, was sliced at the waist on the spot.
Power +30.
In the unanticipated turn, Xu Ling was killed by Xiao Mu, and due to the suddenness, He Zhuo and Kong Xi were caught off guard, unable to react in time to save her, watching helplessly as Xu Ling met her demise.
