"This person is merely at the Mid Yin God Realm, and as far as I can tell, taking out twenty-four pieces of Divine Treasure shards in one go is absolutely his limit. I, the elder, am certain that Xiao Mu doesn't have a single piece left," said the elder with unruffled calm and categorical certainty, but a trace of sly cunning flickered across his eyes almost imperceptibly as he spoke.

"Yes, Xiao Mu definitely doesn't have a single piece left," Mei Jun, the elder, chuckled and nodded, agreeing with Gu Hui's statement.

"Xiao Mu is only at the Mid Yin God Realm, after all. It's only normal that he doesn't have any Divine Treasure shards left, right?" Zhao Xu, the elder, agreed, nodding. However, as he said this, his gaze suddenly darted away.

"I can say without a doubt, Xiao Mu doesn't have a single piece left, who dares to bet with me? I, Old Liu, dare to bet my life that Xiao Mu absolutely can't produce another piece," Liu Chen suddenly shouted, looking dead serious.

These scoundrels!

The Grand Leader, Wu Jie, felt unbearable embarrassment and unconsciously covered his face with his sleeve. It was too shameful, especially in front of Zhao Guantian.

Haha!

Xu Qianwu had been laughing all along, the petty schemes of the four elders couldn't possibly escape his notice.

Shameless!

Fang Ying cursed inwardly, her gaze filled with disdain sweeping over the four elders. Did they really think others couldn't see through their intentions? Everyone was vehemently stating that Xiao Mu had run out, wasn't it just because they feared others would ask Xiao Mu for the shards and planned to monopolize the resources of his Divine Treasure shards themselves?

As for how to pry the Divine Treasure shards from Xiao Mu's hands, as long as one was willing to think about it, was there really any fear that no method could be found?

Such shamelessness!

Chen Fengshen, the third leader, was stunned, shocked by the performance of the four elders.

How utterly lacking in limits must a person be to reach this extent of shamelessness?

Zhao, Liu, Gu, and Mei, the four elders, were clearly oblivious, showing no awareness that their cunning might have already been seen through, and continued to argue endlessly.

The views of the four were the same, each firmly believing that Xiao Mu had no more Divine Treasure shards left and willing to bet their lives on it.

The four elders argued non-stop, others covered their faces, unable to watch, while Zhou Pudu and Cui Yan's expressions were extremely grim, as dark as if water could drip from them.

Suddenly, Chen Fengshen thought of something and hurriedly turned his head to look at Wu Yan.

It suddenly dawned on him that since Xiao Mu was under Wu Yan's command, compared to the four elders, shouldn't he have a better advantage?

But as soon as he looked, he was stunned.

Wu Yan, the chief team leader, was completely dazed, as if he had lost his soul.

"Wu Yan!"

Chen Fengshen couldn't figure out what had happened to Wu Yan and called out to him through telepathic messaging.

"Hmm? Third Leader!"

Wu Yan finally snapped back to reality and looked at Chen Fengshen.

"What do you think about Xiao Mu obtaining the Divine Treasure shards and treasures of the Divine Spirits?" Chen Fengshen asked again through messaging.

What do I think?

Wu Yan had a look of incredulous amusement. From the start of the meeting, he'd been completely dazed. He had never expected, nor dared believe, that Xiao Mu could have obtained so many Divine Treasure shards and treasures of the Divine Spirits.

His own subordinate, to be this powerful?

He even suspected he was dreaming.

"Wu Yan, you are Xiao Mu's team leader and have more contact with him. Ask him in private if he can lend some Divine Treasure shards and treasures of the Divine Spirits to me, and don't worry, I won't let him be at a loss afterward," Chen Fengshen continued messaging.

Finally, Wu Yan regained his full composure and replied with a wry smile, "Third Leader, I'll ask for you, Xiao Mu should be fairly approachable."

"That's good!"

Chen Fengshen smiled. "Tell Xiao Mu that as long as he's willing to help me, I will definitely not let him be at a loss."

He added, "By the way, I need both Divine Treasure shards and treasures of the Divine Spirits—either type is fine, I'm not picky, and the more he gives, the better."

"Third Leader, rest assured, I've noted that down!"

Wu Yan solemnly promised, then turned to look at Xu Qianwu.

Although he was Xiao Mu's team leader, he felt he knew far too little about Xiao Mu this time, almost nothing, even Xu Qianwu knew more than he did.

Thinking this over, Wu Yan then telepathically messaged Xu Qianwu, "Greetings, Elder Xu!"

"Hmm? Is that Team Leader Wu?"

Xu Qianwu could tell from the voice that it was Wu Yan, Xiao Mu's team leader, and he was rather courteous toward Wu Yan, "Team Leader Wu, I was planning to intervene when you and Cui Yan were fighting just now, but considering my role as a Ruins Elder and mixing into the affairs of the task teams wouldn't be too appropriate, I didn't intervene. Don't take it to heart!"

"It's alright."

Wu Yan said politely, "As an elder of the Ruins, Xu Qianwu has his own difficulties, I understand."

"Understanding is good, long live understanding! Well, Group Leader Wu, there's no need to mention this to Xiao Mu," Xu Qianwu said with a hint of humble laughter in his voice.

You this...

Wu Yan suddenly hesitated. He had thought Xu Qianwu was being polite because of his position as a group leader, but now it seemed it was only because of Xiao Mu?

Isn't that a bit too disheartening?

Wu Yan felt discontented. As a group leader, was his importance in the eyes of the Ruins elder really lesser than that of one of his own team members?

Despite feeling bitter, Wu Yan couldn't complain, "Elder Xu, since you have interacted with Xiao Mu quite a bit, do you know how he's been doing recently?"

"To be honest, although I am his team leader, I haven't been in contact much recently and lack an understanding of Xiao Mu's current situation. Elder Xu, could you share with me what you know about Xiao Mu's situation?"

"Hmm? Group Leader Wu wants to know about Xiao Mu's situation?"

Xu Qianwu, being straightforward, didn't overthink and responded via telepathy: "I don't know much about Xiao Mu, only that he obtained a batch of Divine Treasure fragments and Divine Spirit treasures. Oh, right..."

Suddenly remembering something, Xu Qianwu's voice abruptly rose an octave, exclaiming, "Xiao Mu seems to own a lot of different ranks!"

"A lot of different ranks? Elder Xu, what does a lot of different ranks mean?"

Wu Yan felt confused, his expression baffled.

Xu Qianwu said, "I mean, he has every type of rank in the Yin God Realm, do you know what those are?"

"I do."

Wu Yan was still baffled, "Earth God Rank, Mountain God Rank, Door God Rank, Kitchen God Rank, Wandering God Rank, Yin Servant Rank, these all are ranks of the Yin God Realm, right?"

His tone became somewhat unnatural when he mentioned the Kitchen God Rank.

He just had a disadvantageous encounter with Cui Yan concerning the Kitchen God Rank.

Xu Qianwu said, "What I meant by a lot of different ranks is that Xiao Mu has every type of rank. He possesses all the ranks of the Yin God Realm."

All ranks of the Yin God Realm?

Wu Yan was stunned again, his mouth wide open, completely taken aback.

Xiao Mu possesses all ranks of the Yin God Realm?

Could there be a mistake?

He was merely at the Mid Yin God Realm, yet he possessed all the ranks of the Yin God Realm?

As his team leader, already stepping into the Early Divine Spirit Realm, yet not possessing even a single rank, had to suffer bullying from Cui Yan?

Is there no justice left?

However, how did Xiao Mu manage to acquire so many ranks? Also, are ranks of the Yin God Realm meant to be possessed simultaneously?

After a long while, Wu Yan bewilderedly asked, "Elder Xu, can one possess all the ranks of the Divine Spirit in the Yin God Realm simultaneously?"

"This..."

Xu Qianwu wasn't sure either if all ranks could be possessed simultaneously. When asked by Wu Yan, he found himself unable to answer immediately.

But soon after, the elder replied, "I'm not really sure if one can possess all ranks, but I've seen them on Xiao Mu."

"This young man seems to use the Earth God Rank, yet he is not only able to wield the Divine Power of the Earth God Rank, but also the Mountain God Rank, Door God Rank, Kitchen God Rank, and so on."

Apart from Earth God Power, he could also use Mountain God Power? Door God Power? Kitchen God Power?

Wu Yan was dumbfounded again. This Xiao Mu… my own subordinate… has he become this powerful?

I was being bullied by Cui Yan not long ago!

Just over a kitchen God Rank!

Wait! The reason I was bullied by Cui Yan... was it for protecting Xiao Mu?

It unsettled Wu Yan mentally, "You have so many Divine Spirit ranks, I have none, and I still get bullied because I was safeguarding you."

Shouldn't Xiao Mu be responsible for this?

He absolutely should!

Suddenly, Wu Yan thought righteous indignantly.
