"Xu Wu, if you want to participate in the Great War, why not just head directly to the human world and join the Human Emperor? With your strength, joining the Human Alliance, you would surely be granted the position of Grand Elder immediately."

Xiao Mu was somewhat surprised, unable to fathom what the other party's intentions were.

"Alas!"

Xu Wu listened but suddenly sighed, "Xiao, you don't understand my intentions, but I suppose you'll certainly come to realize them."

With that, this person gave a mysterious smile, then suddenly rode the clouds and mist and flew off frontward to the left.

Xiao Mu was momentarily stunned, and only after a moment did he regain his senses, realizing Xu Wu's meaning: he intended to hold out for a better offer.

Judging by his posture, it's clear he plans to enter the battlefield at a critical moment, at which point he'll be able to sway the outcome of the war.

Such being the case, it's likely not only the human world but the Heavenly Court will also want to find a way to win him over.

"Sitting on the fence, you better not come into conflict with the human world."

Realizing the other party's intention, Xiao Mu's face darkened, suddenly feeling repelled by this Xu Wu.

Judging by the other's actions, it's evident this person isn't reliable.

Thus, Xiao Mu also took to the skies, heading back.

This time, he wasted his time for nothing, which greatly displeased Xiao Mu, and he kept flying back until he returned to West Moon Road.

Upon returning to West Moon Road, Xiao Mu immediately walked into an alley.

"Divine Spirits will bless you!"

Suddenly, someone handed a flyer to Xiao Mu.

Xiao Mu was taken aback and saw before him a man in a white robe, holding out flyers to him.

"This..."

Xiao Mu was momentarily at a loss, amused and bewildered. He was already a True God, yet someone was handing him church flyers.

As Xiao Mu was stunned, the white-robed man had already shoved the flyer into his hand.

So Xiao Mu had no choice but to accept it.

At this moment, he suddenly saw several people walking directly into the alley.

At the end of the alley, there was something that looked like a church with several people dressed similarly to the flyer distributor stationed at the entrance.

Xiao Mu was just about to go check when suddenly he heard a voice calling from behind, "Grand Elder Xiao, it must be Grand Elder Xiao, please wait a moment!"

Xiao Mu was startled. He hadn't expected to be recognized twice in such a short time.

He turned around and saw a man at the Divine Spirits level.

This man wasn't tall, nor was he old, looking around thirty years old, with a sincere and honest face.

This honest-looking man saw Xiao Mu and immediately showed a face full of joy, "You really are Grand Elder Xiao. Thank the Human Emperor; we've been awaiting Grand Elder Xiao's arrival."

"You've been awaiting me?"

Xiao Mu was stunned; he couldn't understand why this person was anticipating his arrival.

This sincere man said, "After the news of Grand Elder Xiao entering our Blood Realm, we've been eagerly awaiting Grand Elder Xiao every day. Myself... sorry!"

Mid-sentence, the honest-looking man suddenly realized something and said, "Sorry, Grand Elder Xiao, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Zhu Cang, currently the Town Guard here. I've seen your Image God Picture before, so I recognized you at once, Grand Elder Xiao, don't take offense."

"Hello!"

Xiao Mu greeted.

This greeting immediately flustered Zhu Cang, who invited Xiao Mu, "Grand Elder Xiao, would you please come to our Town Guard Mansion for a visit?"

"Alright!"

Xiao Mu agreed and decided to follow him over to take a look.

Judging by Zhu Cang's demeanor, he clearly had something he wanted to say to Xiao Mu, though for now, he hadn't mentioned what it was.

Sure enough, as Xiao Mu followed him, before they'd even walked a few steps, Zhu Cang began to sigh, "Grand Elder Xiao, it's fortunate you've come early, otherwise, we might have faced some trouble here."

"Trouble?"

Xiao Mu asked puzzled, looking at the other.

Zhu Cang nodded, "Yes, trouble. Grand Elder Xiao, you should know there have already been Heavenly Court experts entering here, trying to get us to cooperate and surrender. I'm loyal to the Human Emperor, but unfortunately, the entire city, many people, have already been swayed by the threats from the Heavenly Court. If Grand Elder Xiao hadn't come, I'm afraid these people would soon be coerced by the Heavenly Court and defect to them."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Mu's expression grew solemn; this was undoubtedly a major event.

Though the people of the Blood Realm might not be strong, once they defected to the Heavenly Court, the resulting negative impact would be unimaginable, ultimately affecting the human world's operations in the Blood Realm.

"Who plans to join the Heavenly Court? Take me to see."

Xiao Mu immediately suggested, intending to go over and have a look.

On hearing this, Zhu Cang agreed happily, "Grand Elder Xiao, please follow me."

Saying this, Zhu Cang led Xiao Mu, heading toward the center of the city. Since the two used the Riding Clouds and Mist technique, their speed was quick, and before long, they arrived at the Town Guard Mansion in the middle of the city.

Zhu Cang led Xiao Mu directly into the Town Guard Mansion.

Then he asked Xiao Mu to rest for a bit, saying that the specific matters could only be known tomorrow.

Xiao Mu was not in a rush, so he decided to wait until the next day, taking the time to cultivate.

The following day, Zhu Cang personally called on Xiao Mu and led him to the hall.

In the hall, several people were already gathered.
