"The Earth God's Rank, so powerful!"

Lan Cai exclaimed, utterly astonished. For someone like her, who had just stepped into the Yin God Realm, possessing a Divine Spirit's Rank was simply unimaginable.

Not to mention that Xiao Mu possessed a True God's Rank of the Yin God level.

Xiao Mu smiled faintly, disregarding Lan Cai's surprise, "You can think carefully about which Ruins you wish to go to; whether it's the Great Tang Ruins or the Yin Ruins, it's all a matter of a single word from me."

"Thank you so much, Xiao Mu!"

Lan Cai sincerely thanked Xiao Mu, and finally, a look of joy appeared on her face, as she glanced back at her two followers.

The two followers loyal to her both nodded at her in acknowledgment.

Lan Cai turned back and pondered for a moment, "If possible, I would like to go to the Yin Ruins."

Actually, it would be better for you to come to the Great Tang Ruins.

Xiao Mu inwardly added, but did not voice it out loud.

He knew very well why Lan Cai had chosen the Yin Ruins over the Great Tang Ruins.

Because compared to the Great Tang Ruins, the Yin Ruins were of a higher level. A higher level meant richer resources and a more promising future after going there.

However, what she was obviously unaware of was that after his own involvement, with a surge of resources coming in, the Great Tang Ruins had acquired a good number of Divine Weapons and Treasures, and overall, they were now no less than the Yin Ruins.

Moreover, if Lan Cai came to the Great Tang Ruins, she would have gained much more with his protection, compared to what she could acquire in the Yin Ruins.

But he didn't offer any advice and simply said with a smile, "Since you wish to go to the Yin Ruins, then the Yin Ruins it is. I'll get in touch with Elder Zhu Yun of the Yin Ruins on your behalf; once you're there, just look for him. In consideration of me, he will take care of you."

"Elder Zhu Yun?"

Upon hearing the name Zhu Yun, Lan Cai's eyes widened, her mouth gaped open, and she fell into a daze once again.

She had heard of Zhu Yun before and knew that he was a formidable figure in the Divine Spirit Realm, holding a very high status within the Yin Ruins.

After a while, she couldn't help but sigh, "You actually know Elder Zhu Yun, Xiao Mu. You're really doing quite well for yourself these days."

Actually, I also know Wei Lingxiao, the great leader of the Yin Ruins, but I thought such a small matter was not worth troubling him.

Xiao Mu smiled again, without picking up on that topic; instead, he shifted the conversation and glanced at the man from the Life and Death Sect, speaking to Lan Cai, "Do you have any questions for him? Ask away if you like."

"Thank you!"

Lan Cai thanked Xiao Mu and then added, "This man came from the Great Tang Ruins. He suddenly entered the Song Relics from the Great Tang Ruins and was discovered by the scouts of the Song Relics. Xuanding sent me to intercept and to inquire about this man's reasons for entering the Song Relics."

"Oh!"

Xiao Mu uttered indifferently, relaxing his suppression of the Life and Death Sect man a bit.

"You... who are you?"

The Life and Death Sect man looked at Xiao Mu in terror. As Xiao Mu loosened his suppression, he was finally able to speak, although his body remained immobile.

Xiao Mu paid no attention to the Life and Death Sect man.

Lan Cai approached the Life and Death Sect man, stopping at a certain distance, and spoke coldly, "I ask, you answer! Your name?"

After hesitating for a moment, the Life and Death Sect man responded to Lan Cai, "Chi Jue!"

"Chi Jue, what is your purpose for entering the Song Relics?" Lan Cai continued to press Chi Jue of the Life and Death Sect.

"If I tell you, can you let me leave alive?"

Chi Jue asked, his gaze flickering towards Xiao Mu.

Among all the people present, he only feared Xiao Mu. If it weren't for Xiao Mu's sudden appearance, he could have easily fled after killing Lan Cai and her group.

"You can't! If you talk, I'll make your death quick. Otherwise, I'll take you back for soul-searching, and after that, let you suffer the worst tortures before you die. Don't think that we, the Song Relics, lack the art of soul-searching," Lan Cai replied, her tone indifferent and laced with a threat of death.

The enmity between the human world and the foreign domains was too deep and grave, leaving almost no chance for resolution. An encounter would undoubtedly result in life or death struggles, especially amongst the lower echelons, it was even more so the case.

Chi Jue of the Life and Death Sect fell into deep thought, then, after a moment, as if he had come to a realization, said, "Alright, I'll talk, but I hope you'll keep your word."

Lan Cai responded coldly, "I have no need to deceive you."

Chi Jue's face showed a hint of bitter smile, and it was only after a moment that he slowly said, "The reason I entered the ancient Song Relics was actually to look for traces of the Undying Evil Ancestor."

He was also looking for the Undying Evil Ancestor?

When Xiao Mu heard the four words "Undying Evil Ancestor," his heart stirred, and he couldn't help but ask, "Why are you looking for the Undying Evil Ancestor? Isn't he, like you, part of the Life and Death Sect? Could it be that the Undying Evil Ancestor has no contact with you all?"

"That traitor!"

Contempt and hatred appeared on Chi Jue's face as he suddenly cursed the Undying Evil Ancestor. "He was seduced by outsiders and betrayed the Life and Death Sect."

"The Undying Evil Ancestor betrayed you?"

Xiao Mu was quite surprised; this news was unexpected to him.

The Undying Evil Ancestor actually betrayed the Life and Death Sect?

Why did he betray them, and whom did he betray them to? Surely not the human world?

Thinking of the human world, Xiao Mu immediately felt it was impossible. Even if the Undying Evil Ancestor betrayed the Life and Death Sect, he definitely wouldn't betray them to the side of the human world.

So, the forces that entered the human world from beyond the heavens are actually divided into different factions and are not completely united?

He pressed on, "Why did the Undying Evil Ancestor betray you? After betraying the Life and Death Sect, whom did he side with?"

"We are not clear about whom he sided with for now," Chi Jue said hatefully. "We only know that after his betrayal, upon entering the human world and obtaining City God Xu's Book of Life and Death and the Judge Pen, he completely cut off contact with the sect."

"Otherwise, if he had handed over the Book of Life and Death and the Judge Pen to the Funeral God, perhaps we would have already won the battle against the Great Tang Relics."

"I entered the ancient Song Relics this time by order of the Funeral God to find the whereabouts of the Undying Evil Ancestor and report back to the sect, so that they could dispatch a powerful expert to kill him and seize the Book of Life and Death and the Judge Pen."

So, the Funeral God of the Life and Death Sect also wants to snatch the Book of Life and Death and Judge Pen from the Undying Evil Ancestor? But even if the Undying Evil Ancestor handed over the City God's treasure to the Funeral God, you wouldn't be able to win.

A thought struck Xiao Mu, and he couldn't help but doubt whether the so-called betrayal of the Undying Evil Ancestor was merely a conflict between the Funeral God and the Undying Evil Ancestor.

At the same time, knowing the true strength of the human world, he was very clear that even if the Funeral God had the City God's treasure, it would still be impossible to win the battle against the Great Tang Relics.

"How many of your Life and Death Sect have entered the human world? Who are the experts besides the Funeral God? What about the Undying Divine Sovereign, the old ancestor of your Life and Death Sect?"

Xiao Mu inquired, voicing his thoughts.

Lan Cai was taken aback, suddenly looking at Xiao Mu in surprise.

She knew very little about the high-level experts of the Life and Death Sect, let alone the Undying Divine Sovereign, their old ancestor.

Chi Jue was extremely surprised at Xiao Mu's question, exclaiming in amazement, "You... you know about our old ancestor?"

"It is I who is asking you, not the other way around," Xiao Mu's face darkened as he glared at Chi Jue.

"Alright!" The Life and Death Sect man named Chi Jue, very aware of the situation, immediately became obedient when Xiao Mu glared at him and responded, "There aren't many people from our Life and Death Sect who have entered the human world. In total, there are seventy-three of us. As for experts, only the Funeral God has entered the human world at present. As for our... our old ancestor, he actually died many years ago!"

"The Undying Divine Sovereign is dead?"

Xiao Mu was stunned, unable to comprehend how such a powerful being like the Undying Divine Sovereign could have died.

"He is lying to you!"

The voice of the Divine Monarch Wu De reached Xiao Mu's ears, "The Undying Divine Sovereign, who controlled life and death and owned treasures like the Life and Death Seal related to the great law of life and death, could not be killed by ordinary Emperors unless Emperor Xuanding himself took action, using the rules of life and death to erase him."

"You dare to deceive me!"

Xiao Mu looked at Chi Jue with a face full of anger, "The Undying Divine Sovereign had the Life and Death Seal, who could have killed him?"

"So you know about the Life and Death Seal too!"

A strange expression appeared on Chi Jue's face as he stared at Xiao Mu in amazement, calmly responding, "Of course, with the control over the Life and Death Seal, our old ancestor was not easily killed. However, tens of thousands of years ago, the Life and Death Seal was taken by Lord of the White Mansion, Bai Jing."

The Life and Death Seal was taken by Lord of the White Mansion?

Xiao Mu was slightly taken aback.

Chi Jue continued, "In the battle that year, not only was the Life and Death Seal taken away, but our old ancestor was also injured by Bai Jing."

"For tens of thousands of years, because of the loss of his authority and the inability to heal his wounds, our old ancestor's strength continued to decline, until thirty years ago when his injuries suddenly worsened, and he passed away."
