Hm, perhaps the last time Senior Zhou borrowed the Creation Axe, he might have already used it, but it just didn't work.

Xiao Mu speculated with a bit of malevolence.

After leaving the station at Dalin Abyss, Xiao Mu returned to his residence and continued his cultivation, enhancing his own power while casually waiting for others to provide him with information.

"Brother Mu, I've found a clue."

Zhu Ping's ecstatic voice came through the cellphone, "The Array Master Rui Wei has been studying the Creation Array."

"Creation Array?"

Xiao Mu was taken aback, related to Creation, what kind of array was it?

Zhu Ping quickly added, "It's the Creation Array used by the Lord of Bai's Mansion to seal the Life and Death Imprint and construct the Pool of Chaos."

So quickly a clue about the Pool of Chaos?

A sense of ecstatic joy surged in Xiao Mu's heart; just three days ago, he was discussing with the Zhou Xuanmen the challenging task of locating the Pool of Chaos, little did he expect Zhu Ping to find a clue so soon.

"You did a good job, send the results of your investigation to my cellphone, I need to go over them thoroughly."

Xiao Mu forcibly maintained his composure, keeping the demeanor of a powerful figure as he lightly instructed.

"Yes, Brother Mu."

Zhu Ping agreed, and soon sent a PDF file to Xiao Mu's cellphone.

Xiao Mu opened the file to examine, discovering that it contained the detailed circumstances of Zhu Ping's recent investigations.

Zhu Ping first investigated the recent activities of the Array Master Rui Wei, analyzed her recent movements, and ultimately found out that Rui Wei had been continuously collecting information on the Pool of Chaos of the Lord of Bai's Mansion.

These documents were related to the Creation Array. Array Master Rui Wei was trying to deduce the so-called Creation Array in reverse through the data of the Pool of Chaos.

For an Array Master of her Yin God Realm, deducing the Creation Array was a massive project and a taboo in Heavenly Court, so much so that before she could complete this work, she was killed by the City God of Tai Cang.

"So, Tai Cang assassinated Array Master Rui Wei to actually prevent her from deducing the Creation Array and finding the location of the Pool of Chaos."

"Reversing the deduction of the Creation Array at such a level is a monumental task; Array Master Rui Wei couldn't possibly finish it alone, could there be other Array Masters involved too?"

Thinking this, a wave of anxiety suddenly surged in Xiao Mu's heart.

The City God of Tai Cang would assassinate Array Master Rui Wei for the Creation Array, and might also assassinate other Array Masters involved with the Creation Array.

So, he contacted Zhu Ping again, "Investigate whether there are other Array Masters working with Array Master Rui Wei on the Creation Array, and if so, who they are. Once you have results, notify me immediately."

"Yes, Brother Mu."

Zhu Ping agreed and went back to investigate further.

Xiao Mu sat down, continuing to cultivate and enhance his strength.

The news from Zhu Ping created a sense of urgency in him, anticipating that perhaps soon there would be a Great War between him and Tai Cang.

"Compared to Tai Cang, my Realm is still slightly lower."

"But I have the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor and the Creation Axe, enough to compensate for the deficiency in the realm, fully capable of hunting Tai Cang."

"Perhaps, seeking help from the Headquarters would be the best approach, but once assistance is requested from the Headquarters, how would the trophies be allocated?"

"Never mind, with my strength, I am more than capable of hunting Tai Cang, though it is a bit of an adventure."

During the subsequent meditative cultivation, Xiao Mu's strength steadily increased, but unfortunately, he was unable to break through the Realm again in a short time; otherwise, he would be even more confident in eliminating Tai Cang.

A day later, Zhu Ping sent a message, "Brother Mu, I've found another Array Master studying the Creation Array, this person lives at 73 Xingjin Road, Village East, named Bai Yuechuan, I'm about to meet him, please Brother Mu, come quickly!"

"Well done!"

Xiao Mu casually praised Zhu Ping, put away his cellphone, and left his home, speeding toward Xingjin Road in Village East.

Xiao Mu's escape speed was fast enough; it only took about twenty minutes to reach Xingjin Road.

Zhu Ping had anticipated this, specially waiting at the junction leading to number seventy-three for Xiao Mu. Seeing Xiao Mu's escape light arriving, he immediately bowed to salute the arriving escape light.

"Greetings, Brother Mu!"

"Very good, you've done very well, now, take me to meet that Bai Yuechuan, the Array Master."

Xiao Mu nodded in approval at Zhu Ping and instructed him to lead the way ahead.

"Brother Mu, after you!"

The two continued to travel eastward, and after two to three minutes, they arrived at the door of number 73, where Zhu Ping knocked.

A thudding sound came from the wooden door, but for a long time, there was no response.

Zhu Ping said, "Strange, is no one home?"

Xiao Mu opened his spiritual eyes and swept the courtyard, only to see fluctuations of Spiritual Energy emanating from beneath the courtyard.

"Let's go in and check."

The two jumped directly over the wall, and upon entering, the ordinary-looking courtyard transformed.

A mysterious Array was activated, turning the simple courtyard into a valley.

Xiao Mu took out his cellphone, only to find that he and Zhu Ping were in an unnamed valley in the northwest direction of Twilight Forest Village.

This unknown valley was very close to Dalin Abyss, and at least a thousand miles away from 73 Xingjin Road.

"Bai Yuechuan actually set up an Array in his courtyard, and we were teleported out, Brother Mu, you see..."

Zhu Ping felt somewhat annoyed, feeling calculated by Bai Yuechuan, yet restrained himself from losing his temper in front of Xiao Mu.

Xiao Mu smiled, "This shows that Array Master Bai Yuechuan is sufficiently vigilant; maybe he has already realized that the Heavenly Court is targeting him."

"Let's go back and visit him again."

"Yes, I will follow Brother Mu's instructions."

The two unfolded the Escape Art and traveled back to 73 Xingjin Road.

This time, it took more than an hour to return to the location of 73 Xingjin Road.

"Call out!"

Xiao Mu instructed Zhu Ping.

Following the instruction, Zhu Ping walked to the door to call out, using the Divine Sense Communication this time, "Array Master Bai Yuechuan, I am Zhu Ping, a member of the Village Protection Team, coming to visit Brother Bai, please open the door."

After calling continuously more than a dozen times, a sigh finally came from inside the courtyard, using the same Divine Sense Communication technique, the tone filled with helplessness and a strong common man's accent, "If you can't even protect yourselves, why bother harming me?"

"It's him!"

Zhu Ping glanced back at Xiao Mu, then immediately turned his head back, and transmitted towards the courtyard, "Brother Bai, please open the door. Besides me, there is also a master from the Headquarters with us."

"A master from the Headquarters, hmm... alright, I hope this master's strength is high enough, please come in!" Bai Yuechuan's transmission came from inside the courtyard again.

Following that, the doors creaked, and with a flash of green light, the twin wooden doors opened automatically.

Xiao Mu and Zhu Ping both entered the courtyard.

This time, no accident occurred, and the courtyard was just an ordinary one, aside from a few flower beds and a normal two-story building.

Xiao Mu looked at the ground between the two flower beds, also the west side of the courtyard, where the green light twinkled again, and a figure of an average-sized man with pale skin and a round, friendly face slowly materialized.

"Which one of you is the high-ranking expert from the Headquarters?"

The man's gaze fell on Xiao Mu first, his tone slightly hopeful, but not by much.

"Array Master Bai Yuechuan, hello, I am Zhu Ping from the Village Protection Team. Let me introduce, this is Brother Mu Huaqing from the Headquarters, a high-ranking expert, and this is Array Master Bai Yuechuan."

Zhu Ping took the lead in greeting, making introductions between Xiao Mu and Bai Yuechuan.

"Mu Huaqing, I don't seem to have heard this name before. What do you gentlemen want with me?"

Bai Yuechuan thought for a moment, unable to recall the name 'Mu Huaqing,' so he changed the subject and asked about their purpose.

"Brother Bai, have you heard that Array Master Rui Wei was assassinated by the mighty Tai Cang from the Heavenly Court?" Zhu Ping got straight to the point.

Bai Yuechuan's face changed drastically, becoming nervous, "Even you know about me and Rui Wei researching the Creation Array; how much do you know?"

"Don't panic, Brother Bai, we are here to protect you."

Xiao Mu took over the conversation, "Because of the Creation Array, Array Master Rui Wei was assassinated by Tai Cang, and Brother Bai, who researched the Creation Array with her, probably won't escape such a fate either, and will definitely become a target for assassination by the Heavenly Court as well, so I specifically came here to protect Brother Bai."
