"Senior, don't panic. Once I return, I'll find a way to build a temple for you,"

Xiao Mu reassured the Divine Monarch of Wu De.

But without being certain whether the Divine Monarch of Wu De was a friend or foe, Xiao Mu absolutely wouldn't consider letting him out.

If the Divine Monarch of Wu De turned out to be an enemy, and he carelessly released him, the entire human world would plunge into calamity.

This was a ruthless person only the Lord of the White Mansion had the power to subdue. Once unleashed upon the world, there might be no one in the human realm capable of dealing with him.

"You must hurry!" urged the Divine Monarch of Wu De, eager to escape from the black jade plate.

Xiao Mu verbally agreed, but internally, he was dismissive.

Fang Ying and Xu Qianwu were cleaning up the scene, first arranging for ordinary humans who had been captured to be sent back, then counting the losses and calling the surviving Mutated Beings of the human world to gather.

Among the captured Mutated Beings from the human realm, some reported that Squad Two's leader, Qin Duan, had been killed by a powerful Divine Spirits' realm fighter from the Curse Gate during his escape.

For the ruins of Great Tang, this was clearly not good news, but Xiao Mu felt gratified upon hearing it.

He and Qin Duan were at odds, fitting the description of enemies more than comrades, and there was no need to hide that fact.

Du Wenzhen was still alive. Not just alive, but thriving. According to rumors, he took advantage of the Curse Gate Mutated Beings being unprepared, snatched some treasures, and has since gone into hiding, avoiding being found by people from the Curse Gate.

After hearing this, Xiao Mu couldn't help but curse Du Wenzhen's luck in his heart.

Snatching treasures from the hands of the Curse Gate was not easy; it seemed that Du Wenzhen's strength would surely increase after this battle.

Gathering calls went out to surviving Mutated Beings from the human realm, who came together in increasing numbers, but ultimately there were only about a dozen, fewer than twenty in total.

Close to forty Mutated Beings from the human realm had been stationed in the Nanhua Domain, and now more than half were dead. One could say the losses in this battle were tremendous.

Although absolute losses were greater for the Curse Gate, with their backing from the extraterrestrial world, they could replenish any losses; the human world, however, could not.

In relative terms, the losses sustained by the human realm were more difficult to bear.

A sudden sense of danger pervaded Xiao Mu's entire body, sending a chill to the bottom of his heart.

With a thunderous boom, infinite black light descended from the sky, instantly blocking out the heavens, and the world plunged into boundless darkness.

A pillar of black light emerged from the firmament, crashing down towards the top of Xiao Mu's head.

Within the black light, faintly and indistinctly, a 'hua' character seemed to be heard.

Curse Conversion Technique; this was undoubtedly a Curse Technique from the Curse Gate, but the power it displayed was far stronger than any Divine Spirits' realm fighter Xiao Mu had seen.

A cold presence instantly spread throughout Xiao Mu's body, bringing a feeling of extreme terror to his heart.

"Curse Heaven Child, how dare you!"

Xu Qianwu's roar echoed in Xiao Mu's ears as he and Fang Ying took action simultaneously, with Golden Light Flashing surging up. The aspects of the Mountain God and the door god emerged above their heads, erupting with endless golden light.

This golden light soared into the sky, exploding with a bang and rushing toward the black light.

"Xu Qianwu, Fang Ying, you think you can stop me with just that?"

The voice of Curse Heaven Child came from the black light, filled with disdain. As it spoke, the black light suddenly swelled, with its power doubling.

Boom!

The black light broke through from above, and the golden light exploded with a bang, splitting apart. The black light continued to fall, unobstructed, and rushed toward the top of Xiao Mu's head.

"Curse Heaven Child, you can't act presumptuously here!"

The voice of the chief leader Wu Jie came, accompanied by a flash of lightning. A thunderbolt descended from the sky, cracking down upon the black light with a snap.

The black light scattered, and the sky was filled with golden thunderbolts.

The figure of the great leader Wu Jie appeared beside Xiao Mu.

"Haha!"

The laughter of Curse Heaven Child came from a distance, retreating rapidly. From afar, Curse Heaven Child spoke to the great chief Wu Jie, "Wu Jie, how about a trade?"

"I, of Great Tang's ruins, do not make deals with extraterrestrial evil beings," Wu Jie responded coldly.

"Ridiculous!"

Curse Heaven Child let out a sneer of contempt, "Wu Jie, do you know who it is that wants Xiao Mu? Do you really think you can keep him safe? I advise you to hand him over, or Great Tang's ruins will be doomed."

"Curse Heaven Child, I advise you to give up," the great chief Wu Jie called out robustly, "Great Tang's ruins will not be threatened."

"Heh," the cold sneer of Curse Heaven Child came from a distance, "Suit yourself, but the ruins of Great Tang won't last much longer."

Obviously, Curse Heaven Child was speaking while using the Escape Art to leave, his voice growing fainter and fainter.

"Many thanks to the great chief for the timely rescue!" Xiao Mu expressed his gratitude to the great chief Wu Jie, bowing. Just now had been truly dangerous; had Wu Jie not arrived promptly, he most likely would have been killed by Curse Heaven Child.

The words of Curse Heaven Child also left Xiao Mu filled with shock and confusion. He couldn't understand what kind of attention he had drawn to warrant Curse Heaven Child wanting to kill him at all costs.

"So you are Xiao Mu? Don't mention it!"

The great chief Wu Jie took a careful look at Xiao Mu and smiled slightly. His demeanor was amiable, showing an appreciative look towards Xiao Mu.

"Qian Wu, Fang Ying, well done!"

Afterward, the great chief Wu Jie turned to Xu Qianwu and Fang Ying, praising them, "In this battle, the Curse Gate deployed no less than twenty strong Divine Spirits' realm fighters, and yet you managed to repel them, truly incredible! How did your strength increase so much?"

Wu Jie was well aware of Fang Ying and Xu Qianwu's capabilities and knew very well that it would be impossible for them to repel twenty Divine Spirits' realm fighters from the Curse Gate just by themselves.
