Chapter 1158: Recovery
Zhao Nuan and the others, under the suppression of the shadow, immediately showed signs of collapse. But the four of them gritted their teeth and remained silent, directly resisting.
However, even so, these four people still couldn't withstand the suppression of the shadow, and it looked like they would soon be overwhelmed by it.
The shadow also used all its divine power, leveraging the power of the True God Realm, intending to crush Zhao Nuan and the other four in one fell swoop.
Boom!
The Black Shadow, like a mountain, descended rapidly, intending to crush Zhao Nuan and the four, but suddenly flew backwards, a silhouette shattered directly in mid-air.
"You... this..."
For a moment, everyone was stunned, everyone froze.
Zhao Nuan and the others, despite being dumbfounded, couldn't help but be delighted. Not only did they survive, but the shadow died in front of them. How could this be?
And the tall, thin man, upon seeing this scene, unable to believe it, immediately became fearful.
The shadow intended to kill Zhao Nuan and the others but was suddenly killed; who did this?
However, this tall, thin man was quite cunning; realizing the shadow had been killed, he immediately prepared to escape.
With a swift movement, he immediately headed outside.
"Stop!"
Zhao Nuan and the others shouted, trying to chase after him.
But before the three could take a step, a loud vibration suddenly occurred, and the fleeing tall, thin man collapsed onto the ground.
At this moment, Xiao Mu shook his head and revealed himself. He hadn't expected that by casually arriving at such a place, he'd encounter such events; there had been betrayal in the human world and collusion with Heavenly Court experts, threatening other humans to invite them to follow and join Heavenly Court.
Fortunately, Xiao Mu arrived, otherwise not only was betrayal imminent, but those still loyal to the human world would also have been killed.
"You... who are you?"
People from the Blood Realm were all stunned, whether Zhao Nuan or others, they looked at Xiao Mu in disbelief.
Zhu Cang laughed and stepped forward, "No need to be surprised, everyone; this is Grand Elder Xiao Mu, who has long arrived in our human world."
"See, I've told you already, haven't I? Headquarters won't forget us. Those who try to join Heavenly Court will ultimately meet a fatal end."
"I see, greetings to Grand Elder Xiao!"
"Had I known Grand Elder Xiao was here, it would've been great."
So everyone stepped forward simultaneously, paying respects to Xiao Mu.
Previously, they clearly hadn't expected Xiao Mu to appear here.
Some were happy, while others regretted.
Those who regretted thought that if they had known Xiao Mu was here earlier, they should've demonstrated themselves well, leaving a good impression on Grand Elder Xiao, but Zhao Nuan and the others undeservedly benefited.
Zhao Nuan and the others were pleasantly surprised, as they hadn't thought Xiao Mu was here either. Their loyalty just now happened to be witnessed by Xiao Mu, which was undoubtedly a good thing.
"Enough!"
Xiao Mu waved his hand, expressing no interest in speaking much with them, but he still secretly remembered Zhao Nuan and the others.
He said to Zhu Cang, "Everyone withdraw; only Zhu Cang will remain here."
Thus, everyone dared not oppose Xiao Mu and soon left after bidding farewell.
It didn't take long for only Xiao Mu and Zhu Cang to remain at the scene.
Xiao Mu looked at Zhu Cang, "Just now, you specifically called me here to watch these events happen?"
Zhu Cang nodded, helplessly saying, "Besides showing them to Grand Elder Xiao, I intended to ask Grand Elder Xiao for help. These people..."
Saying this, Zhu Cang pointed to the corpse of the tall, thin man and continued, "This person colluded with Heavenly Court, backed by a True God. We have no one here who can match him. If Grand Elder Xiao hadn't arrived at our side at just the right time, we would've had no solution."
"Enough!"
Xiao Mu originally intended to pursue the matter because of the apparent attempt to leverage him, but Zhu Cang's words made him abandon this idea immediately.
Thinking carefully, Zhu Cang's words were very reasonable; if not for leveraging him, how could Zhu Cang possibly have the ability to confront the Heavenly Court's True Gods?
He pondered for a moment and couldn't help but ask again, "Are things in many places here similar to yours?"
The events at this place began to worry Xiao Mu.
Heavenly Court could threaten Zhu Cang and the others, and likewise, it could threaten others. Since betrayal incidents happened here due to Heavenly Court's threat, joining Heavenly Court, evidently similar incidents would happen elsewhere.
And if most of the Blood Realm fell into such situations, with most places under Heavenly Court's control, then before long, the Blood Realm would change ownership.
Indeed, the Blood Realm could easily open a pathway for Heavenly Court to seize and enter the human world.
This outcome was obviously unacceptable for Xiao Mu.
"Almost!"
Zhu Cang's response shocked Xiao Mu even more, "Grand Elder Xiao, I suggest you make arrangements soon. Heavenly Court's infiltration into our Blood Realm is very serious, and I'm afraid many places might be controlled."
"Do you know which places might be controlled?"
Despite realizing the outcome Zhu Cang spoke of, Xiao Mu couldn't help but be taken aback upon hearing it. He urgently pursued further questioning with Zhu Cang.
