"What a luxury!"

Wu De, the Divine Monarch, silently lamented that Xiao Mu had casually given a complete set of Divine Treasures from the Heavenly Court's Commander to the Ghost Servant. It seemed an extravagant act no matter how one looked at it.

"What a pity!"

Xiao Mu, however, felt it was a pity that he had not obtained the complete official uniform and treasures of the Land God, for then he could have used them himself.

With his strength, combined with the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor and the Great Decree, if he had also secured the Land God's complete official uniform and Divine Treasures, ordinary Divine Spirits of his Realm would definitely not be his match.

Unfortunately, the Heavenly Court's Commander was of the military faction, which did not align with his civil role as a Land God. The treasures and roles of the Heavenly Court's Commander were not suitable for him to use.

Despite this, Xiao Mu felt a growing sense of anticipation within him.

Now that he knew the amazing capabilities of the Great Decree and the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor, he no longer had anything to fear when encountering Extraterrestrial Yin Gods in the future.

He could even strip the Yin Gods of their ranks using the Great Decree and the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor and seize their Divine Treasures.

As for Extraterrestrial Divine Spirits, Xiao Mu thought about it and realized that with his current abilities, he was still far from being a match for them. It was impossible to strip them of their ranks and treasures using the Great Decree and the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor unless he reached the Divine Spirit Realm himself.

As for the ranks and duties of the Divine Spirit Realm, he no longer needed to worry about them, for he had already obtained the City God rank long ago.

It was just that due to insufficient Realm, he was unable to exhibit his Divine Power, despite holding the rank.

After putting away his Ghost Servant, Xiao Mu continued to explore ahead.

In subsequent encounters with strange creatures, all were easily slain by Xiao Mu.

The damages on the Yellow Paper Bridge of the Ming became increasingly severe, and it wasn't long before Xiao Mu encountered numerous gaps.

Some small gaps could be hopped over, but larger gaps required the power of the Yellow Paper Crane to cross the bridge.

Fortunately, Yellow Paper Cranes kept flying from the depths of the bridge, so there was no need to fear being unable to cross.

However, as he saw more and more Yellow Paper Cranes, Xiao Mu couldn't help but wonder what kind of person was hidden deep within the Yellow Paper Bridge.

Azure Sky City had clearly just experienced a great battle, as several late-stage Divine Spirits among the Extraterrestrial Evil Beings had broken through the city's protective Great Array and initiated a fierce battle with Zhu Yun, Zhao Xu and others.

After a brutal slaughter, the Extraterrestrial Evil Beings withdrew from Azure Sky City, but the Mutant Beings from the Human world suffered severe casualties.

Especially the veteran Divine Spirits, who were almost all injured.

Elder Mei Jun, whose right arm had been severed, had just been reattached and was still recovering. He frowned and worriedly said, "This was only the first attack by the Extraterrestrial Evil Beings, and three late-stage Divine Spirits came."

"And despite us jointly resisting three late-stage Divine Spirits with the power of the Great Array, we almost lost. After the battle, not only was everyone injured, we also allowed those three Divine Spirits to withdraw successfully."

"Now that the Extraterrestrial Evil Beings have gauged our true strength, they will surely mobilize more forces for the next attack. The situation is very unfavorable for us, we must make preparations early."

Zhao Xu nodded in agreement with Mei Jun's words and looked toward Zhu Yun, "Elder Zhu, will there be any reinforcements from the Ruins and Headquarters?"

Zhu Yun shook his head, "The Ruins have sent all the manpower they could, and there is no possibility of additional support. There might be from Headquarters. However, since the Extraterrestrial Evil Beings are attacking in large numbers, they probably have already calculated our strength and sent forces accordingly."

"Even if Headquarters sends reinforcements, they are likely to be ambushed by the well-prepared Extraterrestrial Evil Beings. I am not optimistic about it personally."

Wu Yan frowned at Zhu Yun's words, which aroused a bad feeling in him, and he couldn't help but say, "Elder Zhu, isn't there any way for the Great Leader Wei from the Ruins to support us?"

"I'm afraid not."

Zhu Yun shook his head, "The Great Leader Wei must supervise the Foreign City God. Once he makes a move, the Foreign City God will certainly respond, making the situation even more disadvantageous."

"Humph!"

A cold snort suddenly came from Li Qi's direction. When everyone looked over, he forcefully grimaced, his face full of disdain, "What if there's no support? Relying on ourselves, we might still be able to repel the Extraterrestrial Evil Beings."

Many people disagreed with Li Qi's statement, but no one spoke out in retort.

The situation was extremely unfavorable for them, and now was not the time for internal strife and quarrels.

Zhu Yun said, "Whether we will have support is uncertain, and even if we do, it is highly likely that the Extraterrestrial Evil Beings will block them outside. We must prepare to face the battle alone."

He paused, then added, "Fortunately, there are some resources in Azure Sky City that we can use to heal and recover. Fushi, go retrieve the resources stored in the treasury and distribute them to each injured person to help everyone recover from their injuries."

"Yes."

Chen Fushi agreed and led his people to the treasury to mobilize resources.

Zhao Xu's gaze shifted from Chen Fushi to Zhu Yun, "Elder Zhu, are there any Divine Treasure fragments in the resource treasury of Azure Sky City?"

Divine Treasure fragments, although not usable for healing injuries (Xu Qianwu was an exception), could repair Divine Spirit Tablet damages.

For those with a Divine Spirit Tablet, treasures that could mend the Divine Spirit Tablet were much more important than ordinary healing treasures.

After all, when those with a Divine Spirit Tablet engage in battle, what they contend with foremost are their Divine Spirit Tablets, so damages generally first affect the Divine Spirit Tablets.

"Divine Treasure fragments, how easily do you think they can be obtained?"

Zhu Yun shook his head, stating shamefully, "The resource repository of Azure Sky City only stores some Mutant Fruits and Healing Injury Pills."

"They can only treat physical injuries, not repair Divine Spirit Tablet damages."

"What a pity!" Zhao Xu sighed.

During the recent battle, not only was everyone injured, but many had their Divine Spirit Tablets damaged, including himself, Elder Mei Jun from Tulip Ruins, and Chen Fushi.

Qu Jingyu was the luckiest with his Divine Spirit Tablet suffering no damage at all.

Zhu Yun and Li Qi were slightly more fortunate; their Divine Spirit Tablets were only slightly damaged, and could recover automatically without needing Divine Treasure fragments for repair.

Soon after, Chen Fushi returned from the treasury with Healing Injury Pills and Mutant Fruits, which he distributed to the injured Mutant Beings.

The majority quickly recovered from their injuries.

But as the physical wounds healed, the atmosphere inside Azure Sky City gradually became more oppressive and heavy.

While the injuries were healed, the Divine Spirit Tablets remained unrepaired. The overall strength of those from the human world had ultimately suffered a tremendous blow. If Extraterrestrial Evil Beings attacked again, resisting them would certainly be much more difficult.

"Ah! Xiao Mu..."

Elder Mei Jun suddenly sighed, looking towards the south where Xiao Mu had left, his expression complex.

He had hoped that Xiao Mu left the city to find Divine Treasure fragments, but after learning the truth from Zhao Xu, he understood it was merely wishful thinking.

Before long, scouts reported that movements of Extraterrestrial Evil Beings were sighted outside the city, moving towards the northwest direction.

The northwest direction was where Azure Sky City was most vulnerable.

The Divine Being who forcefully penetrated Azure Sky City in the later stages had surely noticed this.

Now, with the Extraterrestrial Evil Beings gathering towards the northwest, there was no doubt they aimed to launch an attack from that direction.

This news made everyone's mood in the city even more tense and heavy. Under the command of Elder Zhu Yun, they began to shift their defensive forces towards the northwest of Azure Sky City.

Xiao Mu followed the Yellow Paper Bridge into the deeper parts, crossing several broken extensions, and the environment gradually changed.

The Yellow Paper Bridge suddenly widened, revealing the silhouette of an ancient city, somewhat visible ahead.

The entire ancient city was built upon the vastly widened Yellow Paper Bridge, with a wide road leading straight through a huge circular city gate at the foot of Xiao Mu.

City of the Unjustly Dead!

Over the gate of the great ancient city, a huge black signboard bore the name City of the Unjustly Dead.

This massive ancient city was actually the City of the Unjustly Dead!

"Up ahead is the City of the Unjustly Dead, Xiao chap, the reason I had you choose the path on the right was because of this city,"

the voice of Wu De Divine Monarch transmitted to Xiao Mu, reminding him, "The Reincarnation Path is destroyed, Miaoyi Divine Monarch has perished, and the City of the Unjustly Dead must have undergone major changes. It might hide an earth-shattering opportunity, and exploring it could be beneficial for you. Of course, risk and opportunity exist simultaneously, whether to explore the City of the Unjustly Dead ultimately depends on you."

Xiao Mu was surprised, his gaze already fixed on the City of the Unjustly Dead.

Even from a distance, at the gateway to the City of the Unjustly Dead, one could see several Divine Being corpses.
