Zhao Qian looked at Xiao Mu with obvious envy in his eyes, for Xiao Mu had entered the Yin God Realm much later than he had.
Even when Xiao Mu had not yet entered the True Realm, he was already a mid-stage powerhouse in the Yin God Realm. But now, Xiao Mu had reached the peak of the Yin God Realm, not only possessing the Earth God Rank but also bringing back a large number of Divine Treasures for the Alliance, making great contributions, while he still remained in the mid-stage of the Yin God Realm.
"Thank you! Envoy Zhao, please lead the way!" Xiao Mu didn't show any contempt due to the other's slow cultivation speed, and his attitude was very polite.
"Please follow me!"
Zhao Qian unfolded his Earth Escape Technique and led the way ahead, taking Xiao Mu toward the mountain peak.
A few minutes later, the two reached the peak of Solitary Straight Mountain, where the great chieftain, Wu Jie, was located.
Solitary Straight Mountain was not tall, only over a thousand meters, but the peak was flat and quite spacious, covering at least several tens of acres.
And on the flat, spacious peak of Solitary Straight Mountain, there was a tranquil and elegant garden.
Zhao Qian led Xiao Mu through the garden, passing by ponds, ornamental waterside pavilions, rockeries, and small pavilions, eventually arriving in front of an ordinary small temple.
"Xiao Mu, please go to the living room ahead and take a seat!"
The voice of the great chieftain, Wu Jie, came from the small temple.
"Yes, grand chieftain," Zhao Qian responded, leading Xiao Mu toward the living room in front of the small temple.
The living room was a bamboo house, very scenically elegant, with bamboo tables and chairs inside, as well as a bamboo bookshelf.
The living room had very delicately designed windows on all sides, also made of woven bamboo. The windows imbued with a unique Array allowed the gentle breeze to pass through into the bamboo house, filling it with freshness.
"Xiao Xiao, please take a seat!" Grand Chieftain Wu Jie walked into the bamboo house from outside, and seeing Xiao Mu about to stand up, he immediately greeted him with a smile to sit down.
"Xiao Mu pays respect to the grand chieftain!"
Although Grand Chieftain Wu Jie was being formal, Xiao Mu still stood up and bowed his hands to him.
"Haha, Xiao Xiao, you're too polite, please sit, sit!"
Grand Chieftain Wu Jie sat down on a bamboo chair, which was a reclining chair that could be laid flat for lying down comfortably.
However, the grand chieftain still sat upright, smiling and looking at Xiao Mu.
Xiao Mu inwardly muttered to himself, the grand chieftain's attitude gave him a feeling that he was about to be schemed against.
Zhao Qian brought over tea, and Grand Chieftain Wu Jie leisurely invited Xiao Mu to drink, showing no sign of urgency.
"Grand Chieftain."
Xiao Mu took a sip of tea and went straight to the point, "I have come here because there are two matters for which I need the grand chieftain's help."
"Xiao Mu, our Great Tang Ruins are struggling, all the grand elders and chieftains need resources to break through. Recently, Wu Yan, the witch group leader, has just entered seclusion to prepare for Breaking Through into the Divine Spirits realm, taking up a large batch of Energy Fruits."
"Well, in short, our Great Tang Ruins are currently facing a severe scarcity of Resources. Oh yes, what did you want to say?"
Wu Jie suddenly seemed to recall something in the middle of speaking.
The scarcity of resources has nothing to do with what I wanted to say, does it?
Xiao Mu silently complained to himself, quickly realizing why Grand Chieftain Wu Jie had brought up these points.
Is he afraid that I'm going to ask for cultivation resources? And he feels embarrassed to refuse?
Xiao Mu inwardly cursed the grand chieftain for being stingy, but he said, "Grand chieftain, I'm not here to discuss resources."
"Not about resources? That's good, hehe, that's very good!"
Wu Jie's face immediately showed relief and joy.
"By the way, Xiao Xiao, what do you need? Just say it, and our Great Tang Ruins will try our best to meet your needs."
Except for requesting resources, right?
Xiao Mu complained to himself again, but he said, "I'm here to discuss two matters with the grand chieftain; firstly, it concerns Lord of White Mansion."
"Lord of White Mansion? Why would you suddenly mention him?" Grand Chieftain Wu Jie was surprised to hear this, as he had not expected Xiao Mu's concerns to be related to the Lord of White Mansion.
"This is the situation."
Xiao Mu proceeded to elaborate, "Previously, I met with Miaoyi, the Heavenly Emperor. The grand chieftain should be aware of this, right?"
Wu Jie nodded. Xiao Mu had met Miaoyi Emperor and heard about him receiving the complete set of Netherlord's treasures from Miaoyi Emperor's hands a long time ago.
Then Xiao Mu continued, "Apart from giving me the Netherlord's treasures, Miaoyi Emperor also asked me to find the whereabouts of the Lord of Bai's Mansion as soon as possible."
"After careful consideration, I believe that finding the Lord of Bai's Mansion is indeed a matter of urgent concern."
"With the Human Emperor in slumber and Miaoyi Emperor unable to leave seclusion to help us, our strength in the human world is currently far from comparable to that of the Heavenly Court."
Wu Jie nodded again but did not respond, waiting for Xiao Mu to continue speaking. However, his expression slowly turned solemn.
He knew very well that what Xiao Mu was saying was the truth, and the strength of the human world at this moment was indeed not optimistic.
Xiao Mu went on to say, "The Heavenly Court could break the Boundary Wall and send its powerful fighters into the human world at any moment."
"Right now, the strongest ones who have come are Divine Spirits, but I believe it won't be long before True Gods will also enter."
"If we can't find the Lord of Bai's Mansion before the True Gods enter the human world, the consequences will be unimaginable."
It was not that Xiao Mu was overly worried, but the fact was that with the current strength of the human world, once a True God entered, there would indeed be no ability to resist.
At that time, the entire human world would likely be doomed.
This was exactly what Xiao Mu feared the most. The human world would be destroyed, occupied by the Heavenly Court, and while others might still have a chance to survive, he definitely would not.
The Heavenly Court could let anyone go, but they could not possibly spare him, Xiao Mu.
Undermining the authority of the Heavenly Emperor was absolutely taboo in the Heavenly Court.
After thinking it over, Wu Jie said, "Xiao Xiao, we are all clear about the urgency of finding the Lord of Bai's Mansion. The Alliance has actually been looking for him for quite some time."
"It's just that Lord of Bai's Mansion has been missing for too long now, and many clues have become vague, which is why we have no concrete news."
Is it difficult to search because the clues have become vague due to the passage of time?
With a worried frown, Xiao Mu asked, "Great Leader, can I see the clues and information related to the Lord of Bai's Mansion that the Alliance has obtained?"
"Information about the Lord of Bai's Mansion is highly confidential to our Alliance, and by rights, it shouldn't be shown to ordinary members."
Wu Jie was somewhat embarrassed and thought carefully for a moment. "But you have made great contributions to the Alliance, and there should be no problem with just looking at the information. How about this—I'll apply to the headquarters on your behalf when I get back and try to let you see the resources as soon as possible?"
"Thank you, Great Leader!"
Xiao Mu quickly thanked Wu Jie.
"You're too polite, Xiao Xiao, haha, just don't forget that you're from the Great Tang Ruins," Wu Jie said with a friendly smile.
"Besides searching for the Lord of Bai's Mansion, is there anything else the Ruins can help you with? If so, just say it, and the Ruins will definitely help you wherever possible."
Wu Jie made a magnanimous guarantee.
Except for requesting resources, right?
Xiao Mu muttered to himself and then said, "In addition to searching for the Lord of Bai's Mansion, there is indeed another matter."
As he spoke, Xiao Mu reached into the Earth Seal Space and searched around, then brought out the True God incense burner.
As soon as the True God incense burner appeared, it released a subtle golden light that filled the entire bamboo house with Divine Power.
"A True God incense burner!"
Wu Jie's eyes brightened sharply, almost standing up from the bamboo chair in his excitement.
"Haha!"
Wu Jie laughed and looked at Xiao Mu with delight, "Xiao Xiao, just say what you want, and it's yours, as long as you lend me this incense burner to use."
Being in the True God Realm, Wu Jie could indeed use the True God incense burner, but he didn't ask to take it from Xiao Mu, only to borrow it.
A True God level burner was so precious to him, and so valuable, that Wu Jie did not think he could offer a price that would satisfy Xiao Mu.
As far as borrowing it for use, it made no significant difference from buying it from Xiao Mu, at least that's how Wu Jie saw it.
But Wu Jie clearly misunderstood Xiao Mu's intentions. Xiao Mu wasn't bringing out the True God incense burner to exchange it for resources.
Shaking his head slightly, Xiao Mu explained, "Great Leader, this True God incense burner does not belong to me, but to another True God senior."
"A True God senior? You know a True God senior? Do we still have a True God senior in the human world?" Wu Jie was taken aback, his face was full of disbelief.
