Mei Jun, the Grand Elder, relying on his good relationship with Xu Qianwu, opened with a calming tone to appease the furious Xu Qianwu, "Qian Wu, calm down, calm down! We are just curious, how could Xiao Mu, a mere mid levell Yin God Realm, have the ability to help you and Fang Ying repair your Divine Spirit Tablets?"

Xu Qianwu glanced at Grand Elder Mei Jun impatiently and said, "Xiao Mu gave me ten pieces of Divine Treasure fragments and gave Fang Ying six pieces, understand? It's because of these Divine Treasure fragments that Fang Ying and I were able to repair our Divine Spirit Tablets."

"Ten... ten pieces of Divine Treasure fragments? Xiao Mu gave you ten pieces?"

Mei Jun was stunned, his eyes bulging out like those of a cow, completely at a loss.

"It's sixteen pieces."

Gu Hui, the Grand Elder, rarely chimed in, glaring at Mei Jun with disdain. This old Mei, he can't even count; ten plus six is ten?

The others fell into a momentary stupor once again.

After a while, Grand Elder Mei Jun managed to ask, "Qian Wu, did Xiao Mu really give you and Fang Ying sixteen pieces of Divine Treasure fragments?"

Xu Qianwu gave Mei Jun a look, such a childish question, he didn't deign to answer it.

Mei Jun quickly realized that his question was indeed superfluous and said with a smile, "Qian Wu, what I mean is, where did Xiao Mu get these Divine Treasure fragments from?"

"How would I know?"

Xu Qianwu shook his head; how Xiao Mu got the Divine Treasure fragments, he really didn't know. It wasn't that he was deliberately not answering; after thinking about it, he added, "Everyone has their own means, perhaps Xiao Mu has some method unknown to us."

"Right, I forgot to mention, this Purple Void Silver Mist Crown on my head and the Judge Pen and the Fragment of the Book of Life and Death in Fang Ying's hands were also given by Xiao Mu."

"In the battle in the Nanhua Domain, Fang Ying and I were able to defeat more than twenty Divine Spirit Realm members of Curse Gate with fewer numbers, thanks largely to these Treasures. Of course, to be precise, the credit should go to Xiao Mu. Otherwise, do you really think the two of us with damaged Divine Spirit Tablets in the early stage of Divine Spirit Realm could have the power to defeat twenty Divine Spirits from Curse Gate?"

Xiao Mu... gave... them...

All the elders and leaders present were completely stunned, and the entire meeting room fell suddenly silent.

Divine Treasure fragments, Purple Void Silver Mist Crown, Judge Pen, Book of Life and Death, so many treasures were actually given by Xiao Mu.

This person is only in the mid-stages of the Yin God Realm, and yet he managed to obtain so many treasures!

But there was no doubt that, no matter how shocked these elders and leaders were and how incredulous they felt, Xu Qianwu's words were right there for all to see, leaving them no choice but to believe.

"Right, there's one more thing I forgot to mention. Xiao Mu doesn't just have sixteen Divine Treasure fragments; he gave a portion to the First Leader as well, how many exactly I'm not sure."

Xu Qianwu's gaze swept over everyone, then he hesitantly released another piece of information.

Woosh!

It was almost as if there was an actual sound as, apart from Fang and Xu, all leaders and elders turned their heads to look at the Second Leader, Wu Jie.

Even though Second Leader Wu Jie had stepped into the early stage of the True God Realm, under the scrutiny of everyone's gaze, he still felt immense pressure, nearly losing his composure.

"Qian Wu is correct, Xiao Mu indeed gave me some Divine Treasure fragments, hmm, a total of eight pieces, not many. I had planned to distribute these fragments to the injured leaders to repair their Divine Spirit Tablets after the meeting,"

Second Leader Wu Jie quickly regained his composure, his voice drifting down the mountain.

Whew~

The words of the Second Leader blew like a category sixteen hurricane over the hearts of all the elders and leaders present, also indirectly proving that Xu Qianwu's words were true.

Xiao Mu truly had the ability to obtain Divine Treasure fragments? And even Divine Spirit Treasures?

He was just a mid-level Yin God Realm.

Second Leader Zhou Pudu and Cui Yan wore odd expressions, incredulous and yet feeling like they had each swallowed a ton of maggots, deeply uncomfortable.

The Divine Treasure fragments and Divine Spirit Treasures being obtained by someone else was one thing; even if an ordinary person had gotten them, it wouldn't have brought them so much pressure. But it was Xiao Mu who got those treasures, and that brought significant pressure on the two.

"Let's continue with the topic we were discussing earlier about how to deal with Xiao Mu. Elders and leaders, please continue the discussion and express your opinions."

The Second Leader scanned the crowd, speaking with a light smile.

The scene suddenly fell into a deathly silence, and instantly became absolutely quiet, the only thing that could be heard was the heartbeat and breathing of everyone present.

Zhao Xu, the Grand Elder, suddenly had a change in his expression, as he suddenly thought of the words he had said not long ago and immediately fell into an endless regret.

I should have kept my mouth shut just now!

Why did I have to say anything when no one else was expressing their opinions on how to deal with Xiao Mu?

"Ahem!"

Suddenly thinking of something, the elder quickly spoke up, "I believe that the matter of how to deal with Xiao Mu still needs to be carefully considered."

"No matter what, Xiao Mu is a member of the Great Tang Ruins, and I, Zhao Xu, as a member of the Great Tang Ruins, have an undeniable responsibility to protect the members within the ruins."

After saying so, he glared around fiercely, his expression serious, and his tone was even more unwavering, he said through gritted teeth, "No matter who it is, the moment they dare suggest turning over a member of the ruins to the Extraterrestrial Evil Beings, they become my Zhao Xu's mortal enemy."

Hiss!

Zhao Xu, the Grand Elder, spoke with righteous grandeur, seemingly the epitome of integrity, but his words immediately provoked scornful hissing.

Who was it that said they would decide depending on the situation just now?

However, Zhao Xu, the Grand Elder, had left himself some leeway from the start and had not explicitly mentioned handing Xiao Mu over to the city god from beyond, so it was not easy for people to ridicule him.

"I disagree with handing over Xiao Mu!"

Mei Jun, the Elder Mei, promptly added to the conversation without hesitation.

"I also disagree. What wrong has Xiao Mu done? Why hand him over to the Extraterrestrial Evil Beings?" Liu Chen, Elder Liu, immediately followed in expressing his stance.

"When have the Great Tang Ruins ever shown weakness to the Extraterrestrial Evil Beings? It's utterly impossible to hand someone over, even if the Great Tang Ruins were to be annihilated tomorrow, we would all be annihilated together."

Gu Hui, the Elder Gu, rarely made a statement, his tone sounding exceptionally steadfast.

"Since all the elders disagree with handing over Xiao Mu, I might as well add my two cents. To speak of handing someone over is equivalent to betrayal, a typical act of treason," Chen Fengshen spoke pointedly, deliberately letting his gaze linger on the Second Leader, Zhou Pudu.

The Second Leader, Zhou Pudu, immediately had an expression as uncomfortable as if a fly was stuck in his throat.

Cui Yan's complexion turned dark and sinister, completely losing any interest in speaking. How could he have known beforehand that Xiao Mu would stealthily commit such a significant act?

Wu Jie, the First Leader, said, "Since everyone agrees and maintains a unified stance regarding the City God from beyond, let's leave it at that."

Turning to Zhao Guantian, he continued, "Messenger Zhao, three days ago, several rays of Golden Light suddenly appeared in the western Kunlun, seemingly indicative of a major event. Do you know what happened?"

Zhao Guantian had a solemn expression and said gravely, "Even if First Leader Wu hadn't asked, I would have intended to inform you."

"Three days ago, the Boundary Wall of the Kunlun Mountain Domain was breached, and Divine Spirits and strong beings from the True God Realm infiltrated."

"Divine Spirits and strong beings from the True God Realm infiltrated?"

"The Kunlun Boundary Wall was breached?"

Zhao Guantian's words immediately stirred up a tremendous wave in the conference area, and within moments, the attention of all the elders and leaders shifted from Xiao Mu to the Kunlun Boundary Wall.

Zhao Guantian nodded and added, "Indeed, the Boundary Wall was breached for a moment, fortunately, it was quickly reclaimed. The period was very short, probably only around three to four seconds."

"Despite the Boundary Wall being breached for a very brief time, only three to four seconds, some Extraterrestrial Evil Beings from among the Divine Spirits and strong beings of the True God Realm still took the chance to break through."

"The City God from beyond that appeared in the Canglin Region was one of those Extraterrestrial Evil Beings who infiltrated during the Boundary Wall breach."

"I see!"

Many nodded with an expression that said it all made sense.

No wonder a City God from beyond suddenly appeared in the Canglin Region; he came from the Kunlun Boundary Wall breach.

However, going by Messenger Zhao's tone, it seems there was more than one Divine Spirit from beyond that took advantage of the Kunlun Boundary Wall breach to enter the Human world. It appears the Human world is in for more trouble.

The atmosphere in the conference area grew tense once again. With the Great Robbery looming, increasing one's strength became urgent.
