The two emissaries sent by the Alliance Headquarters, a principal and an assistant, the principal emissary named Cen Yun, appeared to be in his sixties and had already reached the True God Realm, possessing the position of Lucky Star.

Lucky Star's position, belonging to the Retribution series, governs Blessings and can influence a person's fate to some extent, but its combat power is somewhat lacking.

This Cen Yun emissary mainly participated in the internal affairs of the Alliance and seldom joined battles.

His personality also aligned very well with his position, being even-tempered and rarely showing anger.

The assistant emissary was named Li Hongjian, reportedly a Yin Spirit from the Tang Dynasty who had attained Dao, appearing like a young girl and was in the later stages of the Divine Spirits Realm, holding the door god's position.

Compared to Cen Yun, Li Hongjian was much more aggressive and had a fiery temperament.

Once these two emissaries arrived at the Great Tang Ruins, the Netherlord Wu Jie immediately convened a meeting, gathering all the leaders stationed at the Great Tang Ruins who were qualified to attend the meeting site.

At the meeting site, the Netherlord Wu Jie still seated himself at the center of Small Hill, with the Second Leader Zhou Pudu and the Third Leader Chen Fengshen on the small hills on either side.

Cen Yun and Li Hongjian were seated on the left side's small hill.

Once everyone had arrived, Li Hongjian, who looked like a young girl, could not wait and looked down from her seat, scanning around, and not seeing Wu Yan, she turned her head to look at the Netherlord Wu Jie, "Leader Wu, where is Wu Yan?"

Wu Jie chuckled and said, "Emissary Li, Wu Yan is in a closed cultivation period, cannot be disturbed, and so he was not informed about the meeting. I hope both you and Emissary Cen do not take offense!"

Cen Yun's expression remained calm, and he simply smiled lightly.

"Closing cultivation at this time..."

Li Hongjian let out an unhappy snort, showing her displeasure, and looked at Cen Yun.

Cen Yun nodded at Li Hongjian, signaling her to continue.

Li Hongjian then looked back at Wu Jie, "Leader Wu, the reason Emissary Cen and I are at the Great Tang Ruins is for the Netherlord's position owned by Wu Yan."

"It is said that this set of Netherlord's position was given to Xiao Mu by the Divine Monarch Miaoyi to pass on to a capable person in the Human world, right. Where is Xiao Mu? Why isn't he here?"

As soon as Xiao Mu was mentioned, Emissary Li Hongjian suddenly seemed to remember something, turning her head to look down at the meeting site but did not see Xiao Mu's figure either.

Wu Jie smiled lightly and said, "It's really unfortunate timing for both emissaries, Xiao Mu, like Wu Yan, is in closed cultivation."

"As long as he is in cultivation, that's fine. Xiao Mu is someone who can cause trouble, merely at the level of the Yin God Realm, yet can stir up more trouble than all of us combined. However, fortunately, his capability is quite good, not merely causing trouble, and he brings more benefits than harm to the Alliance."

Li Hongjian casually assessed Xiao Mu; although the tone was not polite, the content of her evaluation was fairly justifiable, "Big Leader Wu, since the treasure of the Netherlord was commissioned by Divine Monarch Miaoyi for Xiao Mu to give to the Human world, the final decision on its distribution should be made by the Alliance Headquarters."

"Emissary Cen and I are here on behalf of Headquarters, please hand over the Netherlord's treasure."

As soon as these words came out, discontent showed on the faces of the elders of the Great Tang Ruins, including Zhao Xu, Mei Jun, Xu Qianwu, Gu Hui, and others.

Only Cui Yan showed a fleeting look of joy in his eyes, looking expectantly at Li Hongjian.

He was suppressed by Wu Yan and harbored resentment, and he was the one who most hoped that Wu Yan's Divine Treasure would be taken away.

Netherlord Wu Jie had guessed the purpose of Li Hongjian and Cen Yun's visit long ago, and he smiled, "Emissary Li, the Divine Treasure indeed originated from Divine Monarch Miaoyi, but it was also brought back by Xiao Mu."

"Now, Xiao Mu has already permitted Wu Yan to use it, and Wu Yan has just achieved a great feat for the Alliance. Taking away treasures from a meritorious servant afterwards would inevitably dishearten people."

Wu Jie waved his hand gently, his expression becoming serious, "Sorry, but I cannot commit such an act of killing the donkey after it has done its job."

"Besides, Wu Yan holds the Netherlord's position, perfectly fitting to use the Netherlord's treasure. What's the harm in him using it?"

Li Hongjian frowned, showing her dissatisfaction, "Big Leader Wu, you are showing bias toward your subordinates."

"Although Wu Yan holds the Netherlord's position, his realm is too low, it's a waste to leave the Netherlord's treasure in his hands."

"Elder Chen Yu from Headquarters also holds the Netherlord's position, but he is of the True God Realm level."

"Compared to Wu Yan, Elder Chen Yu is more qualified to use the Netherlord's treasure."

"Not to mention distant enemies, just take the city god of Tai Cang; once Elder Chen Yu possesses the complete set of the Netherlord's treasure, he will have the capability to kill the city god of Tai Cang."

"With the Netherlord's treasure in Wu Yan's hands, could he kill the city god of Tai Cang? Leader Wu, you are the leader of the Great Tang Ruins and a member of the Alliance, you must prioritize the bigger picture and not be swayed by personal feelings."

Wu Jie chuckled, "What Emissary Li mentioned is an ideal scenario, is the city god of Tai Cang not alive, would he just stand there and let Elder Chen Yu kill him?"

"Regarding the point that the Netherlord's treasure is useless in Wu Yan's hands, I disagree with Emissary Li. If it was useless, how could he have achieved great success in Azure Sky City, not only securing the city but also destroying Divine Monarch Guobao's Ceremony Site?"

"So, are you saying, Leader Wu, that you intend to defy the Headquarters' command and not intend to hand over the Netherlord's treasure?" Li Hongjian's face darkened, slightly irritated.

Wu Jie responded seriously, "Emissary Li, please don't accuse recklessly. I, Wu Jie, do not dare to disobey the Headquarters' command. It's just that asking Wu Yan to surrender the Netherlord's treasure, in my personal view, is not appropriate and would dishearten a meritorious servant. Please forgive me for not being able to comply."

"You are disregarding the greater good!" Li Hongjian glared at Wu Yan angrily.
