"There's no need for you to say it; I plan to cooperate with the Divine Phoenix Lady to hunt down the Curse Ancestor,"

Senior Zun looked southeastward, divine light shining simultaneously from his eyes, as both Creation Power and the Power of Destruction erupted continuously from his body, his momentum soaring sky-high.

It seemed the Curse Ancestor sensed something, and he suddenly abandoned the Divine Phoenix Lady, steering the black clouds northwards from the southeast direction, only to then veer toward the northwest, flying incessantly in that direction.

"Did Senior scare the Curse Ancestor away?" Xiao Mu exclaimed in disbelief, turning to look at Senior Zun.

Could Senior Zun be so strong that his mere presence frightened the Curse Ancestor away?

Senior Zun was just as surprised, but quickly his face showed a hint of regret as he shook his head and said, "I wish I could scare the Curse Ancestor off, but his sudden departure has nothing to do with me."

"During his battle with the Divine Phoenix Lady, he was not at a disadvantage, he was even slightly in the upper hand."

"If that's the case, why would the Curse Ancestor flee?" Xiao Mu felt puzzled.

Senior Zun speculated, "Perhaps he sensed something, or perhaps he's worried about more and more powerful reinforcements from the human world arriving, risking being surrounded. The Curse Ancestor's strength seems to have been significantly reduced, he is no longer a True God combatant."

The last sentence was speculative. Senior Zun harbored doubts about the Curse Ancestor's real strength and didn't believe he was as powerful as imagined.

But he wasn't aware that Lord of Bai's Mansion had utilized Creation Power to weaken half of the Curse Ancestor's curse authority, having stripped away half of the Curse Stone, leaving only half of his curse authority.

Xiao Mu responded, "Senior, the Curse Ancestor has had half of his curse authority stripped away by the Lord of Bai's Mansion; he is at best a demi True God now."

"So that's how it is!"

Senior Zun suddenly realized. "No wonder the Curse Ancestor is running away; he's no longer a real True God combatant. It's no surprise that the Divine Phoenix Lady is able to hold him off all by herself."

"Yes, the Curse Ancestor must be worried that if he delays too long, a large number of high-level allies from the human world will arrive and he will be surrounded."

As they were speaking, at the distant horizon, the Divine Phoenix Lady pursued the Curse Ancestor's black clouds on her Colorful Clouds.

Her imperious aura surged toward the heavens, unceasingly chasing the dark grey Curse Power. The Divine Phoenix Lady entangled the Curse Ancestor, preventing him from shaking her off and making a distant escape.

"Let's go, Xiao Mu, we should chase after them too and see if we can help the Divine Phoenix Lady," Senior Zun signaled to Xiao Mu.

Xiao Mu nodded, and both of them used the Five Elements Escaping Technique, their joint Five-in-One Escape transforming into a Five-Color Light Spectrum that pursued from behind.

After all, the Curse Ancestor and the Divine Phoenix Lady were employing the Riding Clouds and Mist technique, and although their speed was reduced by the great battle, it was still not something Xiao Mu and Senior Zun could catch up with, using the Five Elements Escaping Technique.

Senior Zun and Xiao Mu gradually fell behind, the distance between them and the Divine Phoenix Lady and Curse Ancestor growing further, showing signs of being left behind.

"The Riding Clouds and Mist technique is truly in a class of its own, far beyond comparing to the Five Elements Escaping Technique," Senior Zun lamented, looking at the Divine Phoenix Lady and Curse Ancestor getting further and further away, his expression filled with helplessness and unwillingness.

He, too, was a True God Realm combatant, qualified to learn the Riding Clouds and Mist technique, yet he hadn't been able to because he lacked the Secret Manual.

If it weren't for this, he would have long since caught up and joined the Divine Phoenix Lady in the battle against the Curse Ancestor.

Xiao Mu watched as the Curse Ancestor and Divine Phoenix Lady grew increasingly distant, his mood becoming anxious.

The Curse Ancestor had killed Qi Xie, and no one was less willing than he to let the Curse Ancestor go. But now, the Curse Ancestor seemed to have a chance to break free and escape.

After pondering for a moment, he couldn't help but ask Senior Zun, "Senior, why haven't the other high-level experts from the human world arrived to provide support?"

"This... I can't be sure,"

Senior Zun responded to Xiao Mu while continuing to use the Escape Art to chase, "Logically, with the heavenly phenomenon caused by the Curse Ancestor, any capable ally from the human world should have come to provide support."

"Their absence could be due to being tied up with other matters, or perhaps because they are too far to arrive in time."

Xiao Mu's brow furrowed, and he fell silent.

He had thought of the scenarios Senior Zun mentioned, but they were far from the outcome he desired.

Even if the True God Realm combatants capable of coming to aid in hunting down the Curse Ancestor were too far away to arrive soon or were delayed by other matters, it was not what Xiao Mu wished to see.

The Curse Ancestor had killed Qi Xie; he was absolutely unwilling to let him leave and must kill him on the spot to avenge Qi Xie.

After some thought, he inquired of Senior Zun, "Senior, as a True God Realm combatant and an important figure of the Alliance, you must know many True God Realm combatants, right?"

Senior Zun nodded, admitting, "Indeed, I know quite a few True God Realm combatants; I am acquainted with almost every one of them in the Alliance."

He had only concealed his true power and stayed at the Great Tang Ruins, but it did not stop him from knowing the True God combatants of the Alliance.

"That's good to hear."

Xiao Mu managed to squeeze out a slight smile and made a request to Senior Zun, "Senior Zun, I would like to ask you to pass on a message to every True God Realm combatant you know."

"Oh?" Senior Zun looked at Xiao Mu, puzzled, unable to guess what Xiao Mu wanted him to help convey and simply asked, "What message do you wish to send?"

Xiao Mu said, "Please tell the True God Realm combatants you know that Xiao Mu would like to ask for their assistance in hunting down the Curse Ancestor."

Senior Zun appeared somewhat troubled, "Xiao Xiao, I can pass on the message. But, the True God Realm combatants of the Alliance might not respond to your call. Not to mention that many True God Realm combatants have their own affairs to tend to, even if they are available, they might not answer your summons to come forward..."

Senior Zun's words were gentle and he even left some thoughts unsaid.

Although Xiao Mu had gained quite a reputation in the Alliance, this reputation evidently was not yet significant enough to casually order the True God Realm combatants of the Alliance around.
