This is my job, how could I leave

Upon hearing this, Ma Henggu's eyes immediately turned grave. "Do you know the other party's name?"

"I heard from Old Brother Du, it seems to be Xie Wangwei," Xu Mu said, looking at Ma Henggu.

"What? It's actually him!"

Ma Henggu's expression changed drastically. He immediately turned and walked towards the assembled cleaners over there. "Stand down and rest. Do not enter for now."

Seeing Du Yan injured so severely, the many cleaners over there had long lost any desire to go in.

"Xu Mu, was it you who rescued me?"

Just then, Du Yan, on Xu Mu's back, spoke up weakly.

"Brother, you're awake?"

Xu Mu then helped Du Yan down, supporting him as he sat on a nearby rock.

"You actually managed to rescue me from his hands. I underestimated you."

Du Yan felt his torn pants, relieved the cigarettes in his pocket were still there.

He took out the pack, pulled out a cigarette, lit it, and took a drag.

"Just luck. However, I noticed the other party didn't intend to kill you," Xu Mu said from the side.

"Of course he didn't want me dead. Because he wanted to turn me into one of those disgusting things."

Du Yan's face darkened. He took several deep drags of his cigarette. "Regardless, you saved my life this time. I owe you one."

"Du Yan, what exactly happened?"

At that moment, Ma Henggu walked over from a distance and stood before him, asking.

"Notify the Council. This matter is very serious."

Du Yan took another puff of his cigarette and said.

"Alright."

Ma Henggu immediately took out his phone and walked away.

After finishing his cigarette, Du Yan leaned on the rock and stood up.

"Brother, I know a thing or two about medicine. Do you want me to take a look?"

Xu Mu stepped in front of Du Yan.

"No need. It's just superficial wounds."

Du Yan shook his head gently and walked towards Ma Henggu.

"Xu Mu, what exactly happened?"

Jiang Huihui pulled on Xu Mu's arm.

"Come with me."

Xu Mu led the few of them to an unoccupied spot.

He then sat down, leaning against a large tree, and roughly explained what had happened.

"What? Transcendent Realm?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Huihui blew a bubble with her gum.

With Xu Mu's help, she had just entered the Divine Ability Realm. She hadn't expected there to be an expert inside who was two major realms ahead of her.

It was her first time fighting the Otherworldly Tribes, and she had been so excited yesterday she barely slept.

Usually, the task she performed most was capture.

But this time, her mission was slaughter.

For this, her grandfather had specifically lectured her for several hours.

Now it seemed that battling the Otherworldly Tribes was indeed brutal. If Xu Mu hadn't come out this time to inform everyone, perhaps Jiang Huihui and the others would have already gone in. If they had encountered that Transcendent Realm expert, their lives would have been in danger.

The Otherworldly Beasts didn't care about cleaners; they had no reservations.

"Brother Mu, what should we do next?"

Chen Xuan asked from the side.

Xu Mu then turned his gaze to Fang Kui. "What about you? Are you still going in to kill a hundred Otherworldly Tribesmen?"

"I'm not going."

Fang Kui shook her head. "This is clearly the Grand Elder's trap."

She had figured it out. The Grand Elder's goal was for her to die inside, so no one would compete for the cultivation technique anymore.

"That's good. Then the matter of the Otherworldly Tribes has nothing to do with us. Let's go home and sleep."

Xu Mu nodded lightly. He felt there was no need for him to take such a risk.

After all, with those powerful cleaners around, it wasn't his turn to play the hero.

"Alright."

Chen Xuan nodded. He was also someone who disliked trouble.

If the experts inside were at the Master Realm, he could push his limits a bit and witness the Otherworldly Tribes' combat style.

But with a Transcendent Realm expert inside, no matter how talented he was, the gap of several realms couldn't be bridged.

Xu Mu and the others all turned and started walking away.

Suddenly, Xu Mu stopped and looked back at Jiang Huihui. "Why aren't you leaving?"

"Are you kidding? I'm an intermediate-level cleaner. This is my job. How can I leave?"

Jiang Huihui put her hands in her pockets. "Nearly a thousand people have gone missing in the surrounding area over the past few years. Now that we've finally found the culprit, I must bring them to justice on the spot."

Xu Mu felt somewhat helpless. No matter what, Jiang Huihui was, in name, his fiancée.

He couldn't just leave her here in good conscience.

"Xu Mu, this matter has nothing to do with you. You all go back."

Jiang Huihui waved at Xu Mu.

"If you're not leaving, I'm not leaving either."

Xu Mu decided to stay and help after all. He did possess many skills, after all.

[Favorability +6]

Jiang Huihui's expression became slightly unnatural. Of course, she knew Xu Mu was staying because he was worried about her.

"If Brother Mu isn't leaving, I'm not leaving either."

Chen Xuan said from the side.

"If Chen Xuan isn't leaving, I'm not leaving either!"

Fang Kui followed suit.

"If you're not leaving, I certainly can't leave either."

Zhao Shengli said, looking at Fang Kui.

"For crying out loud, are you guys playing a matching game?"

Xu Mu patted Chen Xuan's shoulder. "Old Chen, you take Fang Kui and leave. There's no need for you to get involved in something this dangerous."

"Brother Mu, don't say anymore. I won't leave."

Chen Xuan's eyes were filled with determination.

Hearing this, Xu Mu lowered his hand. Perhaps it was good for Chen Xuan to stay.

As the male lead, with such a high Destiny Level, and moreover, Chen Xuan's combat prowess was strong.

With him here, their side might be able to turn danger into safety.

"Fine, I won't say anymore then."

Xu Mu sat back down. "Huihui, you go attend to your duties. If we really need to go in and fight, remember to call me."

[Favorability +6]

Jiang Huihui pretended to be calm, took a piece of chewing gum from her pocket, and handed it to Xu Mu. "Okay."

Xu Mu sat there, chatting with Chen Xuan and the others.

Looking around, the cleaners were now gathered in small groups of two or three, awaiting orders.

Not long after, a group of people arrived.

Fang Kui, sitting to the side, saw them and her face instantly turned cold.

"What's wrong?"

Chen Xuan noticed Fang Kui's unusual expression.

"Look over there. It's the Sixth Elder, Fu Nanshan."

Fang Kui's gaze fell on that group of people.

Xu Mu also glanced over. So, the Kunlun Mountain disciples had arrived.

He quickly scanned them. Including this Sixth Elder, there were ten people in total.

Most were around thirty years old, with only a few younger disciples.

They were probably all here for training. After all, fighting the Otherworldly Tribes was a life-and-death trial, which accelerated progress much faster than sparring.

Ma Henggu from the Sanitation Department noticed the Kunlun Mountain group's arrival and immediately went to greet them, explaining what had happened.

Upon hearing this, Fu Nanshan nodded slightly. He hadn't expected there to be a major villain inside.

He told his disciples to rest on the spot, then came over to Fang Kui.

Xu Mu observed the old man. He was a slightly portly, bald man who looked rather kind from his appearance.

"Fang Kui, the Grand Elder told you to follow me. Why did you come alone?"

Fu Nanshan asked calmly.

"I have my own companions."

Fang Kui said coldly.

"Those are your words. If anything happens to you..."

Before Fu Nanshan could finish, a surge of Qi suddenly erupted in the distance.

Xu Mu and the others immediately rushed toward that location, finding a middle-aged man from the Four-Eyed Tribe appearing at the entrance to the ruins.

"Greetings, everyone."

The man's four eyes swept across the surroundings.

Just Became Emperor, Already Assassinated by the Son of Destiny

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
