"Great Chief, you could have just asked me that question,"

Xu Qianwu said with a smile, taking over the conversation and proactively answering, "Xiao Mu got a batch of Divine Treasure fragments and used them to repair the Divine Spirit Tablet industry for me and Fang Ying."

A batch?

Great Chief Wu Jie's eyes brightened while shock stirred within him. Divine Treasure fragments described by 'batch'? How many could there be?

"Xiao Mu, how many Divine Treasure fragments did you get?"

Great Chief Wu Jie looked at Xiao Mu, his gaze indescribably warm and kind.

There were so many Mutated Beings in the Great Tang Ruins whose Divine Spirit Tablet industry was damaged. If they had Divine Treasure fragments for repairs, it would undoubtedly greatly enhance the overall strength of the Great Tang Ruins.

As the highest authority of the Great Tang Ruins, how could Wu Jie not care?

Xiao Mu inwardly forced a bitter smile.

He had long known that one should not flaunt wealth.

Once others knew he had Divine Treasure fragments, it would definitely attract many covetous eyes.

With so many Mutated Beings in the Great Tang Ruins, who wouldn't want to repair their own Divine Spirit Tablet industry? Repairing the Divine Spirit Tablet industry meant enhancing strength.

He had no choice but to respond to Wu Jie, "Great Chief, the number of Divine Treasure fragments I've got is actually not that many, and they have been almost entirely used by Elder Xu and Elder Fang."

Wu Jie's face broke into a smile; he noticed Xiao Mu's choice of words, 'almost' used up, which implies that not all were used—Xiao Mu still had Divine Treasure fragments.

"Xiao Mu, may I have a word with you?"

Great Chief Wu Jie beckoned Xiao Mu to the side with a face full of smiles.

"This..."

Xiao Mu hesitated for a moment but then noticed that Great Chief Wu Jie had already walked ahead, exuding an air that he had to follow regardless of his willingness.

He gave Xu Qianwu a fierce glare; he was truly troubled by this old man.

Xu Qianwu obviously understood Xiao Mu's sentiment, yet he didn't take it to heart and instead said, "Xiao Xiao, don't be too stingy. The Great Chief won't treat you unfairly."

With external evil forces invading, the Great Tang Ruins faced grave dangers. The old man intentionally leaked the information about Xiao Mu having Divine Treasure fragments to Wu Jie for the sake of the Great Tang Ruins.

Wu Jie hadn't gone far and after a short distance, stopped waiting for Xiao Mu to come over, then straightforwardly said, "Xiao Mu, on this occasion, your Merit is significant. Not only did you save Xu Qianwu and Fang Ying, but you also played a key role in the battle against the Curse Gate. The Great Tang Ruins will certainly reward you."

"Thank you so much, Great Chief!"

The rewards from the Great Tang Ruins were to be expected; even if Great Chief Wu Jie had not mentioned it, the deserved rewards wouldn't be diminished. But Xiao Mu still expressed his gratitude to Wu Jie.

Great Chief Wu Jie gazed at Xiao Mu and said with a smile, "However, Xiao Xiao, I'm quite surprised that you have the ability to obtain Divine Treasure fragments."

"Great Chief, you flatter me. It was just luck," Xiao Mu replied modestly.

"Luck!?"

Great Chief shook his head and said seriously, "Luck is also part of strength. Xiao Xiao, do you realize that at our Great Tang Ruins, Xu Qianwu and Fang Ying aren't the only ones with damaged Divine Spirit Tablet industries?"

Here it comes?

Xiao Mu knew what was coming the moment he heard it. Wu Jie saying this meant he was definitely eyeing the Divine Treasure fragments in his hands. Xiao Mu quickly said, "Great Chief, I really don't have many Divine Treasure fragments left."

"Alas!"

Wu Jie suddenly sighed, neither disputing Xiao Mu's claim nor asking how many Divine Treasure fragments Xiao Mu actually had, but just adopting a sorrowful demeanor, "Our Great Tang Ruins has a total of six Grand Elders, including Qian Wu and Fang Ying, and each of them is injured, their Divine Spirit Tablet industries severely damaged."

Upon saying this, Great Chief Wu Jie suddenly sighed again, looking downcast and then suddenly he looked up at the sky, "How has our Great Tang Ruins managed to survive under the siege of the three great powers of Curse Gate, Five Elements Sect, and Life and Death Sect? It's not because of my strength as Wu Jie, but because Qian Wu and the others have fought time and time again, disregarding their own lives."

As he spoke, he lowered his head, looking somberly at Xiao Mu, "Xiao Xiao, do you know Gu Hui, one of our Grand Elders, not only has his Divine Spirit Tablet industry severely damaged, but even his son's Yin Spirit was captured by the Life and Death Sect. It is detained in the Land of Yin Evil, and we haven't been able to rescue him to this day."

"Gu Hui attained Dao during the Tang Dynasty, and has only one son. For hundreds of years, his son has been suppressed and coerced by the Life and Death Sect."

"For this lonely old man, can you imagine how much pain he must bear in his heart?"

"Yet, despite such circumstances, Gu Hui still stands guard in the west alone, single-handedly resisting the Life and Death Sect."

"The last time, you retrieved an incense burner from the Five Elements True Monarch, remember?"

Xiao Mu unconsciously nodded. He clearly remembered taking the incense burner from the Five Elements True Monarch.

Great Chief Wu Jie sighed and continued, "That incense burner, I gave it to Gu Hui for his use."

"Among the six Grand Elders of our Great Tang Ruins, Gu Hui is the most seriously injured, yet he must face the strongest Life and Death Sect alone."

"His personal strength is far from that of the Funeral God; guarding the west alone, he faces the risk of death at any time, but Gu Hui has never complained..."

After speaking about Gu Hui, Great Chief Wu Jie sighed again and then mentioned another elder, Mei Jun, "And there's also Elder Mei Jun..."
