"Need a favor? What kind of favor?"

Wǔ Shìshēng quickly asked.

He felt he couldn't really be of much help to Mu Jinyu?

With Mu Jinyu's strength and influence, it seemed there was nothing he would need help with?

Could it be that the witchcraft or cursing techniques he learned...

...are useful to him?

Wǔ Shìshēng could only guess so.

Mu Jinyu said, "Let's talk about it later, I need to check something first."

Saying this, Mu Jinyu performed the Demon-Reflecting Art learned from Xilin, and golden light burst forth, enveloping everyone around.

The final result showed that Wǔ Shìshēng was not affected by any demonic Qi.

However, within Blaine and Gino's team, there were quite a few people who were invaded by demonic Qi.

This change startled Blaine, Gino, and John.

John was the most shocked, because his fiancée, Kelly, now appeared devilish under Mu Jinyu's golden light.

He could not accept this.

Initially, he thought that Mu Jinyu had cast some evil spell, turning his fiancée into this.

But soon, he realized that he and others were under the same golden light, yet why were he and some others unaffected?

Could it be that Kelly had some underlying problem, which the golden light revealed?

This realization struck John like a bolt of lightning, and his heart sank.

Mu Jinyu ignored what others thought and, after confirming that Wǔ Shìshēng was unaffected, dispelled the spell. Then, he smiled and said, "All right, no problem. As you saw, some people here have issues, and I want your help to figure out how to solve this problem!"

Wǔ Shìshēng saw Kelly and others' changes, his face grew serious, and he closed his eyes, furrowing his brows in deep thought.

Shortly after, he opened his eyes and said, "Dragon King, I recently felt that kind of Qi; it's a strange and evil power. I almost succumbed then, thinking it was some enemy's trick. I dispelled it but didn't think much of it. Could it be now..."

Wǔ Shìshēng was no fool; he vaguely guessed why Mu Jinyu sought him out.

However, he did not think too deeply, assuming Mu Jinyu's family or friends were affected, and unable to solve it, he wanted his help.

But, thinking back to Kelly and the others' transformation, he felt the demonic Qi had deeply penetrated, becoming part of them, hard to remove.

He was unsure if he could help Mu Jinyu purge the demonic Qi from his family or friends.

If the experiment led to their death, wouldn't he be doomed?

So, Wǔ Shìshēng felt rather troubled.

Unless Mu Jinyu could provide numerous test subjects for him to experiment on, then he might dare to attempt purging the demonic Qi from his family or friends.

Mu Jinyu, clueless about Wǔ Shìshēng's misinterpretations, brightened up upon hearing his words, saying, "Have experience dispelling this? Even better, let's go. If you can help me solve this, there will be plenty of benefits for you!"

Wǔ Shìshēng internally sighed, murmuring to himself, 'Do I have a choice?'

He reluctantly nodded, agreeing.

As Mu Jinyu prepared to take Wǔ Shìshēng back to Mount Song...

John, shocked by his fiancée's transformation, seemed to understand that Mu Jinyu was leaving. Finally, gathering courage, he pleaded, "Dragon King, could you help me save my fiancée?"

Mu Jinyu paused, halting his shifting actions with Wǔ Shìshēng.

Turning back to John.

Mu Jinyu had a certain appreciation for John.

Though somewhat overly friendly and talkative, he was kindhearted. Despite only meeting Mu Jinyu once, during an attempted escape, he did not neglect to aid him.

Therefore, faced with John's request, Mu Jinyu promised, "Sorry, I can't save your fiancée now, but I'm working to solve this. Rest assured, once a solution is found, I'll notify you immediately!"

Saying this, Mu Jinyu didn't waste time, tossing a Communication Talisman to John, and shifted into escape light.

Taking Wǔ Shìshēng, they disappeared from sight.

"The Dragon King has left..."

With Mu Jinyu's departure, those who had been pretending to be heavily injured, all got up.

Though Wǔ Shìshēng's Gu insects had bitten them, Mu Jinyu's timely intervention meant only three or four died. Most were unharmed, just playing dead upon Mu Jinyu's arrival.

Gino and others, eyes still shaken, gazed in the direction Mu Jinyu left, then turned to John, eyeing the talisman in his hand, their eyes gleaming with interest.

Blaine furrowed his brow slightly, asking John, "John, what is the talisman the Dragon King gave you?"

John, eyes complicated, hearing Blaine's question, directly answered, "It's a Communication Talisman, the Dragon King said he'd use it to notify me when he has news..."

Hearing John's words, Gino, Brandt, and others immediately lost interest in taking the talisman from John.

It's not something beneficial.

Besides its lack of utility if taken, what if it had tracking capabilities? Taking it would just help Mu Jinyu locate them, settling scores at any time.

Forget it, just leave it...

Everyone decided to give up.

Gino withdrew his gaze from John's talisman, looked down at the chaotic mess, furrowing his brow, feeling pained, "Today was such a big loss!"

He lost many subordinates, even used his life-saving cards, yet only acquired a small part of the dragon corpse, while most of the dragon corpse, unraveled by Wǔ Shìshēng's Gu insects, was consumed!

This left him feeling unbearably stifled!

...

Mu Jinyu didn't care whether these people suffered losses, saving them from Wǔ Shìshēng was already good enough.

At that moment, he was taking Wǔ Shìshēng to Mount Song, inquiring whether he had any solutions for the demonic Qi encountered earlier.

With so many people and mouths earlier, some things were difficult to say directly, so he spoke somewhat evasively.

Now, with only himself and Wǔ Shìshēng, he quickly explained Chu Tiance's plan to kidnap all humanity to Wǔ Shìshēng.

"So that's how it is..."

After listening to Mu Jinyu, Wǔ Shìshēng instantly understood why Mu Jinyu went through such trouble to find him.

He had already sought cooperation with the other three major organizations to decipher it, and himself, once an insignificant Old Witch in Fallen Splendor, was now representing it in collaboration with them.

This left Wǔ Shìshēng feeling a mix of emotions.

However, he couldn't deny the satisfaction of it!

Wǔ Shìshēng perked up, feeling he mustn't disgrace Fallen Splendor.

Quickly, Mu Jinyu brought Wǔ Shìshēng back to Mount Song.

"Fellow practitioners are here…"

Standing in the main hall, Wǔ Shìshēng couldn't help feeling intimidated by the people inside.

After all, each of their three organizations had at least twenty or thirty attendees, while representing Fallen Splendor, he was alone, inherently weaker in presence.

Mu Jinyu told Mu Shao'ai, "Master, I found the person for you, try to solve this problem early."

Mu Shao'ai rolled his eyes at Mu Jinyu, saying, "Is it that easy? All you do is trouble your old master..."
