"Xiao Mu, whether you want to explore the City of the Unjustly Dead or not is up to you. However, don't blame me for not warning you—the Netherlord is almost catching up to you," said the voice.
Seeing Xiao Mu hesitate, Wu De, the Divine Monarch, sent another message.
The Netherlord from beyond the heavens is catching up?
Xiao Mu was shocked. Currently, he was no match for the Netherlord from the heavens. Once caught, he would face nothing but death.
Of course, Xiao Mu was faster than the Netherlord from the heavens. If he focused on running, the Netherlord might not be able to catch him.
"Then let's take a look!"
Xiao Mu made a decision. Since he had arrived at the City of the Unjustly Dead, he couldn't bring himself to leave without exploring it.
Using the Escape Art, he moved towards the main gate of the City of the Unjustly Dead.
A crane's cry came from the sky. Xiao Mu looked up and saw two paper cranes at once. One was flying towards the direction he had come from, no doubt to repair the Broken Bridge.
The other paper crane was carrying a bundle of withered yellow weeds, flying into the City of the Unjustly Dead.
The weeds were ordinary and devoid of Spirituality, leaving their purpose a mystery.
"What's with this paper crane? Why would it carry a bundle of weeds into the City of the Unjustly Dead?" Xiao Mu couldn't figure it out, his mind filled with doubts.
"The City of the Unjustly Dead has changed; it's no longer normal. I can't answer your question. Just be careful," Wu De, the Divine Monarch, advised Xiao Mu, cautioning him but offering no answers to his questions.
Xiao Mu hesitated for a moment, then finally strode into the City of the Unjustly Dead.
No sooner had Xiao Mu entered the City of the Unjustly Dead than the figure of the Netherlord from the heavens appeared behind him, arriving just in time to see Xiao Mu's silhouette entering the city.
The Netherlord from the heavens's expression slightly changed, murmuring to himself, "Xiao Mu actually entered the City of the Unjustly Dead; this is bad! It is said that a terrifying entity is imprisoned within, an existence considered taboo even in the Heavenly Court."
The Netherlord from the heavens fell into worry, lingering outside the City of the Unjustly Dead for a long time, unable to decide whether to chase him into the city.
But eventually, thinking of something, he bit his lip, murmuring, "Capturing or killing Xiao Mu, I could advance further to become a True God, that's the promise from Emperor Taija."
"Enough, to seek wealth in danger, since I'm here, I cannot half-heartedly give up! I'll chase after him to see."
"Though the City of the Unjustly Dead imprisons a terrifying entity, if Xiao Mu, merely a Yin God Realm, dares to enter, why shouldn't I?"
With that thought, the Netherlord from the heavens finally gathered courage and slowly walked into the City of the Unjustly Dead.
After entering the City of the Unjustly Dead, Xiao Mu immediately stopped in his tracks.
It was a massive, ancient city. The buildings inside and the roads resembled those of ancient cities as Xiao Mu had imagined, with winding, complex roads lined with various ancient houses.
However, at the moment, this ancient, grand city looked as though it had suffered a hurricane of over fifteen levels. Not only were all the buildings destroyed and scattered, but some of the Yin Souls originally living in the city hadn't even had time to flee. They were directly killed; their soul bodies torn apart by the hurricane.
The deaths of these Yin Souls were too sudden; they hadn't managed to struggle at all before their bodies shattered, ultimately leaving fragments of Yin Souls scattered in the air.
Xiao Mu was secretly alarmed as he witnessed this.
Apart from the ruined city and the dead Yin Souls, he also saw various Divine Spirits who had died tragically.
There had been a Great War in the City of the Unjustly Dead; it looked like a group of divine soldiers had entered the city and engaged in a fierce battle with the original Yin Gods of the city.
The battle was too brutal, with at least a hundred people dying tragically.
"Xiao Mu, this is the City of the Unjustly Dead. The terrain is peculiar; even if Divine Spirits die tragically, Divine Treasures won't easily disappear. I suggest you search the corpses of these dead Divine Spirits; you might find something unexpected," Wu De, the Divine Monarch, suddenly sent another message, his tone laced with excitement.
"Thank you for the reminder, senior!"
Xiao Mu was overjoyed. Immediately, he released his Ghost Servant, and he himself joined the Ghost Servant in searching the corpses of the dead Divine Spirits.
Their search was swift, and they soon searched through most of the corpses of the Divine Spirits.
The finds were gratifying.
Indeed, as Wu De, the Divine Monarch had hinted, many Divine Spirits, though dead, still possessed intact Divine Treasures.
From these corpses, Xiao Mu and his Ghost Servant together found three Divine Weapons, twenty-seven pieces of Divine Treasure fragments, three pieces of Yin God official attire, and two sets of Heavenly Court armor.
And these were just from searching half of the corpses.
Gathering the Treasures into the Earth Seal Space, Xiao Mu's face involuntarily lit up with delight.
Despite these Divine Weapons, pieces of Yin God official attire, and sets of Heavenly Court armor being of the highest level in the Yin God Realm and lacking in Divine Spirit Realm, they still greatly exceeded Xiao Mu's expectations.
Just as he and his Ghost Servant were about to continue searching, Wu De, the Divine Monarch's warning suddenly rang out again, "Xiao Mu , the Netherlord is here. If you don't want to die, run fast!"
The Netherlord is here!
Xiao Mu was startled, quickly gathering his Ghost Servant and fleeing deeper into the City of the Unjustly Dead.
At that moment, the Netherlord from the heavens just stepped into the City of the Unjustly Dead. He saw Xiao Mu gathering treasures, his eyes turning red with envy and his body surged with Yin Qi.
Without further notice, he directly unleashed the Soul Summoning Banner.
Whoosh!
With a flick of the Soul Summoning Banner, it instantly enlarged, seemingly covering Heaven and Earth with surging black light. The Soul Summoning Banner swept across the sky towards Xiao Mu.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Xiao Mu launched into the Five Elements Escape Technique to run away.
"Xiao Mu, in my hands, how could I let you escape? Leave the treasures first!" the Netherlord from the heavens roared furiously. He had come late, and discovering Xiao Mu scavenging treasures from the corpses of the City of the Unjustly Dead's dead Divine Spirits made him both jealous and resentful.
