"Yes, Elder Zhao."

Xiao Mu walked over, ignoring the envious gazes of the others.

Zhao Xu's attitude did not surprise him. There is no love without a reason; Zhao Xu's treatment of him was also motivated by his own desires.

"Xiao Xiao."

The Great Tang Ruins had sent out two elders; the other was Elder Mei Jun.

This elder was also kind to Xiao Mu, and he said with a smile, "This time, the Ruins and our Great Tang Ruins both dispatched two elder-level figures to lead the team. One is Elder Li Qi, and the other is Elder Zhu Yun."

Zhao Xu then took over to explain to Xiao Mu, "The elders of the Ruins are stronger than us. Both Elder Li Qi and Elder Zhu Yun are in the late stages of the Divine Spirit Realm, much stronger than the two of us."

"Getting to know them will benefit you."

"Indeed, Xiao Xiao."

Mei Jun patted Xiao Mu's shoulder kindly, "The Ruins hold a higher position in the Alliance than our Great Tang Ruins, practically nearing the headquarters. Knowing their elders will greatly help your future progress."

Xiao Mu nodded, he highly agreed with the words of the two elders. At any time, knowing more people only brings benefits and no harms, especially since Li Qi and Zhu Yun were esteemed elders of the Ruins, holding significant influence within the Alliance.

Surely, the more such people he knew, the better.

"Alright, Elders Zhu and Li have arrived!"

Zhao Xu's face showed joy as he looked forward.

Indeed, people from inside Azure Sky City began to emerge, led by two Divine Spirit Realm powerhouses.

The person in front was a plump middle-aged man with a round face, who appeared amiable and cheerful.

The person behind had a sharp temperament and a young, handsome appearance, but with Mutated Beings, one could not judge by appearances alone, as they did not reveal true ages.

These two exuded an intermittently powerful aura, indicating their remarkable strength.

However, Xiao Mu, who possessed the Spiritual Eye, immediately noticed the lingering Black Gas on both individuals.

Although their strength was formidable, both were wounded, and their Spirit Tablets were damaged.

In fact, damage to Spirit Tablets was common in the Alliance, due to prolonged battles and fighting against Extraterrestrial Evil Beings. It was rare for someone to have an undamaged Spirit Tablet.

"Elder Li, Elder Zhu, long time no see!"

Zhao Xu and Mei Jun greeted them with clasped hands.

"Elder Zhao, Elder Mei, long time no see! I heard that the Great Tang Ruins dispatched two elders, and seeing today, it is indeed the case!"

The round-faced middle-aged man, Zhu Yun, came over with a smile, clasping hands towards Zhao Xu and Mei Jun, radiating kindness.

Elder Li Qi seemed somewhat haughty and aloof, and after clasping hands with Zhao Xu and Mei Jun, he said nothing more.

Zhu Yun glanced at Mei Jun and Zhao Xu, then cheerfully said, "Elder Mei, Elder Zhao, it's been days since we've seen each other. Both of you have even improved in strength, congratulations!"

He instantly saw through that Mei Jun and Zhao Xu had advanced from the early to the mid-stage of the Divine Spirit Realm and congratulated them both.

"It's embarrassing, if not for the abundant resources from the leader Wu Jie invested in us, we wouldn't have broken through so quickly!" Elder Mei Jun said modestly.

Zhao Xu laughed, "Elder Li, Elder Zhu, let me introduce a talent from our Great Tang Ruins."

Zhu Yun and Li Qi looked towards Zhao Xu.

Li Qi did not speak, but Zhu Yun seemed quite interested and asked with a smile, "A talent? May I know who it is?"

"It's him."

Zhao Xu gestured towards Xiao Mu, pulling him forward and introducing earnestly, "This is Xiao Mu, a talent from our Great Tang Ruins."

"Xiao Mu, this is Elder Zhu Yun, and this is Elder Li Qi."

"Xiao Mu, I've heard of you!"

Zhu Yun took a surprised look at Xiao Mu, "The one specifically requested by the town god of the outer realms, isn't it him?"

"Moreover, I've heard about the battle in the Nanhua Domain of our Great Tang Ruins over two months ago. Not only did this man make great contributions, he also brought back dozens of Divine Treasure fragments from the battlefield, causing a huge stir in the Great Tang Ruins."

He smiled at Xiao Mu in a friendly manner, his words carrying admiration, "Xiao Xiao, your reputation has long been well-known to me."

"Elder Zhu is too kind, I was just lucky!" Xiao Mu quickly said modestly.

"Such improper conduct, so disgraceful!"

An jarring and harsh voice suddenly arose. Xiao Mu instinctively frowned, and everyone spontaneously turned their heads to look at Li Qi.

Li Qi's gaze coldly swept over Xiao Mu, Mei Jun, and Zhao Xu, "It is said that the elders of your Great Tang Ruins, for those fragments of Divine Treasures, even stooped to curry favor with the younger generation?"

"Morals have declined, hearts are no longer ancient, hmph! Is it that the stronger one is, the less spine one has?"

Zhao Xu and Mei Jun both changed expressions.

Li Qi's words were heavily sarcastic, deliberately targeting the two of them.

What have I done to you?

Xiao Mu felt displeased, sensing that Li Qi's words were directed at him.

"Old Li!"

Zhu Yun chided Li Qi and then turned back trying to smooth things over, "Old Li doesn't know how to speak, Elder Zhao, Elder Mei, and Xiao Xiao, please don't take it to heart."

"I am just not that shameless! Superiors not acting like superiors, subordinates not acting like subordinates, just for a few fragments of Divine Treasures, discarding dignity to flatter the younger generation, what a spectacle, hmph!"

Li Qi rebutted, then huffed angrily and turned away.
