The situation with Zhao Pang caught Xiao Mu's attention. A late-stage True God injured, and with a severed left arm, made him feel almost incredulous.

Such a strong entity, even if decapitated, could regenerate, and as long as their True God Realm remains undestroyed, such individuals are essentially immortal.

Ordinary people, who could kill such beings? Even if they stood still for you to attack, you likely couldn't kill them. Only stronger entities could slay such beings.

Yet, now Zhao Pang actually got injured, not only injured but with a severed arm appearing unable to regenerate. This inevitably surprised Xiao Mu.

The extent of the Blood Realm's damage was unexpectedly severe, could a Domain Master not recover after being injured?

In his astonishment, Xiao Mu's gaze fell on Zhao Pang's left arm, and he remarked in surprise, "Domain Master Zhao, what happened to you?"

Zhao Pang shook his head with a bitter smile, "Let Grand Elder Xiao laugh at me, my arm is due to issues with the Blood Realm."

This was an outcome Xiao Mu had anticipated, and upon hearing this, he couldn't help but ask, "Can't it be restored?"

"Restoration?" Zhao Pang shook his head again, this time his expression filled with bitterness, "It's not that easy. That injury occurred simultaneously with the Blood Realm's destruction. The damage to me results directly from the Blood Realm's rules. Now, I have only two options for recovery: one is to leave the Blood Realm. As soon as I step out, I could rely on my own abilities to immediately regenerate my severed arm, the other is to repair the Blood Realm. Once the Blood Realm is fully repaired, my injuries could be healed as well."

"Besides these two methods, no other approach is feasible. I could certainly regenerate the arm, but due to the Blood Realm's rules, even if reattached, it would soon revert to a severed state."

"How terrifying!"

Xiao Mu's expression shook, realizing the impact of the Blood Realm's damage was more severe than he had imagined.

"Grand Elder Xiao, please."

Zhao Pang extended his remaining right arm, inviting Xiao Mu into the living room.

"Please!"

After cordial gestures, Xiao Mu entered the living room with Zhao Pang, and once they completed their polite exchanges, Xiao Mu stated his purpose.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Pang smiled bitterly. His gaze upon Xiao Mu involuntarily revealed a hint of disappointment, "Earlier, the Divine Phoenix Lady promised to send a strong entity to replace me in guarding the Blood Realm. I truly thought someone powerful would come. In fact, when I first heard of Grand Elder Xiao's arrival, I thought you were sent by the Divine Phoenix Lady to replace me. It turns out I overthought."

"Domain Master Zhao wants to leave here?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Mu was somewhat curious.

Zhao Pang nodded, "There is no choice. Only by leaving here can I repair my injuries and restore my severed arm. However, without a replacement, I have no choice but to stay here for now."

Zhao Pang shook his head as he spoke, appearing very regretful yet helpless.

"Domain Master Zhao need not be discouraged, surely there will be a way." Xiao Mu casually comforted him. He sympathized deeply with Zhao Pang's situation, but it was impossible for him to replace Zhao Pang in guarding a domain.

And Zhao Pang's words, besides voicing his grievances, clearly had an underlying hope to move Xiao Mu, hinting at hopes for Xiao Mu to replace him.

However, Xiao Mu had already decided, even though he understood Zhao Pang's meaning, it was impossible for him to replace him. He casually reassured Zhao Pang and changed the topic.

"I wish to explore around the Blood Realm, I've heard that the Heavenly Court's entities have already entered, intending to open a passage through the Blood Realm. Since the Blood Realm is breached, its spatial boundary is very weak, making it relatively easier to open."

"So, I wish to wander about in the Blood Realm and also seek out the Heavenly Court's entities."

"Is that so? Then what assistance does Grand Elder Xiao require from me?"

Zhao Pang understood Xiao Mu's intent and quickly posed a question.

Xiao Mu replied, "I don't need much assistance, just a map from Domain Master Zhao would suffice."

"That's easily done!"

Zhao Pang nodded, took out a map from his storage treasure, and handed it to Xiao Mu. It was a red scroll, appearing quite substantial.

Opening it in front of Zhao Pang, Xiao Mu discovered the map was three-dimensional, expanding where pointed, allowing detailed viewing of any specific area.

The only pity was that the map wasn't real-time, unable to instantly show events occurring or underway.

Xiao Mu felt a bit of regret, then thanked Zhao Pang and pocketed the map before bidding farewell.

"What a pity, Grand Elder Xiao, if you have free time or require meditation practice, please come to the mansion. We welcome you anytime and are willing to provide any practice facilities you need."

Just before leaving, Zhao Pang couldn't resist trying to retain Xiao Mu, only he suggested in a roundabout way.

Xiao Mu naturally knew Zhao Pang's invitation to practice at his mansion was merely a veiled attempt to persuade him to stay.

He detected it but didn't take it to heart, and immediately bid Zhao Pang farewell.

Upon leaving the Domain Master's mansion, Xiao Mu soared into the sky, riding the cloud of Five Elements eastward. He inspected the Blood Realm's condition, planning to examine each area one by one.
