If the Curse Ancestor were to appear, the whole human world might well sink into calamity.

"So, does that mean we can't actually go to the Dark Abyss?"

Xiao Mu felt slightly disappointed.

Not being able to go to the Curse Pit meant that a clue related to the Lord of Bai's Mansion was cut off, which would undoubtedly have a great impact on his own search for the Lord of Bai's Mansion.

Chen Fengshen seemed to sense Xiao Mu's thoughts, "It's not that we can't go, but if you want to go, you need to ensure that secrecy is maintained. Besides, we must deploy strong individuals to seal the news, to prevent other powerful figures like the Curse Emperor, Five Elements True Monarch, Funeral God, from entering the South Five Regions."

That makes sense!

Upon reflection, Xiao Mu found Chen Fengshen's words reasonable. If entering the South Five Regions, it was indeed necessary to seal off the news, especially to keep powerful figures such as the Curse Emperor, Five Elements True Monarch, Funeral God, at bay.

Otherwise, once those powerhouses learned about his infiltration into the South Five Regions, the information about his visit to the Curse Pit would not remain a secret, ultimately resulting in a leak of information about the Curse Pit.

Chen Fengshen added, "As for the specific arrangements, you can discuss them with the Grand Chief. If you need help blocking the Curse Emperor, Five Elements True Monarch, Funeral God, I can also lend a hand."

Towards the end, Chen Fengshen laughed heartily.

Xiao Mu stood up, "Thank you for the reminder, Third Chief. If I really do need the help of the Third Chief, I will certainly not be polite."

After saying this, he bid farewell to Chen Fengshen, who personally saw Xiao Mu out.

After leaving Chen Fengshen's Daoist Temple, Xiao Mu immediately rushed to Wu Jie's Daoist Temple.

This time, Wu Jie was playing chess in the pavilion with an old man who was clearly a Yin Spirit that had attained Dao.

Upon Xiao Mu's arrival, the two stopped playing chess. The Yin Spirit old man gave a slight bow to Xiao Mu and left the pavilion, leaving Wu Jie and Xiao Mu to talk.

After the courtesies, Wu Jie invited Xiao Mu to sit and asked the purpose of his visit.

"Grand Chief, I would like to explore the Curse Pit."

Xiao Mu laid out his intention and then explained the purpose of exploring the Curse Pit.

"Searching for the Lord of Bai's Mansion is not a matter for you alone." Wu Jie fell into thought upon hearing this, "However, the Curse Pit is no ordinary place. Below, the Curse Ancestor of the Curse Gate might be sealed."

"Once you go, you might cause the leak of the Curse Pit's information, which the Curse Gate or the Curse Emperor would come to know."

"You are aware of the harm that could come from the leak of the Curse Pit's information, right?"

Xiao Mu nodded, indicating he was well aware of the harm that could result from the leak of information about the Curse Pit, then continued, "That's why I am asking for the Grand Chief's help to seal off the South Five Regions and keep the Curse Emperor outside."

"You want me to seal off the South Five Regions and keep the Curse Emperor out of the South Five Regions?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Jie laughed, "Xiao Xiao, you are unaware of the strength of the Curse Emperor. Although he is only in the Divine Spirit Realm, he controls two Divine Treasures. So, even though I am of a higher Realm and have a stronger career than him, it would not be easy to defeat him."

"As for sealing off the South Five Regions and keeping him out, that's an even more difficult task than defeating him."

"That's why I'm asking the Chief for help."

Xiao Mu caught the hint of reluctance in Wu Jie's words, smiled, and said, "If the Chief can help me seal off the South Five Regions and keep the Curse Emperor out, I am willing to present a Divine Weapon as thanks afterward."

"A Divine Weapon? Cough cough!"

Upon hearing about a Divine Weapon, Wu Jie's expression suddenly stirred, and he almost choked with a cough.

A Divine Weapon, even for him, the Grand Chief of the Great Tang Ruins, held an unparalleled allure.

"Sit down and let's talk about it slowly, cough cough. You just said that if I seal off the South Five Regions for you and keep the Curse Emperor at bay, you will give me a Divine Weapon. I heard that correctly, didn't I?"

Wu Jie gestured for Xiao Mu to sit and incredulously confirmed with him once more.

"That's correct, as long as the Chief can help me seal off the South Five Regions and keep the Curse Emperor out, allowing me to explore the Curse Pit successfully, afterward I will give a Divine Weapon to the Chief as thanks," Xiao Mu firmly replied.

"Cough cough!"

Wu Jie's old face turned slightly red, but he quickly composed himself, restraining his excitement as he solemnly said, "Logically speaking, searching for Lord of Bai's Mansion is the collective responsibility of the entire Alliance."

"You, Xiao Mu, ventured into the Curse Pit to search for Lord of Bai's Mansion, and as your leader, it is only right for me to provide assistance; there's no need for thanks afterwards!"

"The fact that you speak of thanks afterwards makes me, as a leader, quite uncomfortable."

Xiao Mu disagreed, "One can't always expect the leader to work for nothing, right? There will be many more times in the future where I will need to trouble the leader. There's no need for you to decline; as long as you can help me seal the South Five Regions and block the Cursed Emperor's forces, I, Xiao Mu, will keep my word and definitely gift you a Divine Weapon afterwards."

Xiao Mu didn't really value Divine Weapons that highly.

With his Realm's advancement and his authority's increase, relying on the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor and the Great Decree, he could certainly strip various treasures from the Divine Spirits from beyond the heavens.

Therefore, the promise of a Divine Weapon wasn't really a big deal to Xiao Mu.

As for Wu Jie's mention that searching for Lord of Bai's Mansion was the entire Alliance's responsibility, not just Xiao Mu's alone, and therefore, there was no need to talk about gifting a Divine Weapon as thanks, Xiao Mu equally agreed.

But Xiao Mu's thoughts weren't limited to just this.

Apart from feeling that he needed to offer something in return for Wu Jie's help, he also privately wanted to contribute to the legacy of the Great Tang Ruins.

Gifting a Divine Weapon could be seen as half a request for assistance and half a contribution to the Ruins.

Now that the Heavenly Court was launching a fierce attack on the human world, and the infiltrators were becoming stronger, it was useless for him alone to be powerful; the entire Alliance needed to be collectively strong.

Therefore, under appropriate circumstances, Xiao Mu didn't mind giving special consideration to the Mutated Beings of the Alliance. Of course, the ones receiving the support had to be those who were friendly to him; those who were hostile to him were another matter entirely.

"Cough cough!"

Wu Jie coughed again, feeling excited and couldn't help but sigh.

Although he was indeed the leader of the Great Tang Ruins, the difficulty of acquiring Divine Weapons was just too great, even when facing powerful enemies from beyond the heavens who wielded Divine Weapons.

However, since the Divine Weapons in the hands of those enemies were designated for use by their own Divine Spirits, once they were killed and their Spirit Tablets crumbled, the Divine Weapons would disappear with them.

For Wu Jie, even if he was successful in defeating these enemies, he could not seize their Divine Weapons for his own use.

Therefore, the difficulty of acquiring Divine Weapons was no different for someone of Wu Jie's Realm as a True God than for anyone else.

Now that Xiao Mu had casually proposed gifting a Divine Weapon as thanks afterward, thinking about how he, a True God Realm powerhouse, didn't even measure up to Xiao Mu of the Yin God Realm, the feeling of frustration and bitterness in Wu Jie was indescribable.

But faced with the temptation of a Divine Weapon, he couldn't adhere to the belief, "A gentleman does not covet something given to him by chance." Eventually, Wu Jie swallowed his pride, "Xiao Xiao, since you insist on gifting a Divine Weapon as thanks, it would be wrong of me to refuse your kind intention."

"However, I'm more inclined to use sword-type Divine Weapons, and weapons like Great Hammer, Great Halberd, Long Spear, Long Spear, Great Saber aren't suitable for me. Could you consider giving me a sword-type Divine Weapon when the time comes? Of course, if you really can't find a suitable sword-type Divine Weapon, a Great Hammer or Great Mace would also do; I'm not picky."

As he raised this request, Wu Jie felt somewhat uneasy inside. Divine Weapons were quite rare, weren't they? Otherwise, he wouldn't be worried about Xiao Mu not finding a suitable sword-type Divine Weapon.

But Xiao Mu's tone seemed to suggest that Divine Weapons were as common as cabbages, easily found anywhere?

Xiao Mu nodded, confidently saying, "I wouldn't dare deceive the leader. Since the leader requires a sword-type Divine Weapon, I will certainly seek one out for you."

"Are you serious?" Wu Jie was startled and suddenly a little incredulous.

Divine Weapons were quite rare, weren't they? Otherwise, he wouldn't have worried about Xiao Mu not finding a suitable sword-type Divine Weapon.

Xiao Mu reaffirmed with a nod, "I wouldn't dare lie to the leader. Since you require a sword-type Divine Weapon, I will definitely seek one out for you."

"This..."

Wu Jie was stunned for quite a while before he managed to recover from his surprise, internally marveling that Xiao Mu was really no ordinary person, able to gift any Divine Weapon he wished, while outwardly trying to regain his composure to respond to Xiao Mu, "Alright then, in that case, I will make the trip personally, to seal the South Five Regions for you, and stop the Cursed Emperor, keeping him out of the South Five Regions."

"However, since you are heading to the South Five Regions, there are two things that I must inform you of in advance."
