The Kunlun Boundary Wall, an ever-expanding space node of ash-white hue, flickered in and out of visibility. On the opposite side, a total of six True God Realm powerhouses sat in contemplation, comprising both elders and adults, male and female alike.

These six True God Realm powerhouses were stationed at distances from each other that were not too great, but they all faced the intermittent space node with the gravity of facing a great enemy. None dared to be careless.

The divine power undulating from each person was different, yet all belonged to the level of Divine Spirits.

On the far left, an elder in gray robes marked with grayish-black curse scars suddenly spoke up, "The Curse Ancestor has appeared, and a youngster named Xiao Mu has obtained half of the Curse Authority. Senior has sent word that this Xiao fellow has made a promise—if anyone can kill the Curse Ancestor, he will give that half of the Curse Authority to them. Every participant in the encirclement and slaying of the Curse Ancestor will receive a Divine Weapon, Divine Treasure, or Secret Manual from the Curse Gate."

An old woman wielding a dragon-headed cane snorted, "Xiao Mu, isn't that the kid entrusted with the full set of Netherlord treasures by Miaoyi Emperor? Chen Yu, you should be most familiar with this person. Do you know how this kid obtained half the Curse Authority?"

The Chen Yu mentioned by the old woman is the same Elder Chen who possesses a Netherlord level influence, as mentioned by the envoy Zhu Bingshen.

This Chen envoy had a forthright face, sparing of words, exuding an aura of quiet authority. Speaking in an extremely serious tone, he rebutted the old woman, "I know as much as you do."

"No matter who obtains half the True God Authority, in the end, they must come here to guard the Kunlun Boundary Wall."

"The Boundary Wall is becoming weaker and weaker. It won't be long before True God powerhouses will be able to enter."

"I don't mind to whom the Netherlord treasures and True God Authority are entrusted, but the more capable a person is, the more they should come here to guard the Boundary Wall."

Chen Yu's words found agreement among the other five guardians, each nodding involuntarily.

The Boundary Wall was not under the ownership of just these six people—guarding it was the responsibility of every powerhouse in the human world. As the infiltrators grew stronger, the power of the human world's guardians also had to increase, otherwise, the Boundary Wall might soon become indefensible.

"That said, I really do want to go and provide support. With half the True God Authority, I could guard the Kunlun Boundary Wall on my own," said the elder in gray robes, his face etched with unwillingness and regret.

"Who wouldn't want to go?" The old woman with the dragon-headed cane glared at the elder in gray robes, speaking irritably, "But do you dare to abandon the Kunlun Boundary Wall and go to the Great Tang Ruins for support?"

The elder in gray robes faltered, and then was left speechless. After a prolonged silence, he suddenly sighed deeply, his sigh laden with boundless regret.

※※※

The situation at the East Sea Boundary Wall was similar to that of the Kunlun Boundary Wall. Upon receiving the message from Senior, the guardians had also become restless for a moment, but like those at the Kunlun Boundary Wall, they soon calmed down.

None of the guardians of these Boundary Walls dared to leave their posts and rush to the Great Tang Ruins for support.

※※※

Xiao Mu and Senior Zun continuously pursued the Divine Phoenix woman and the Curse Ancestor, never letting go. Although the Curse Ancestor's technique of Riding Clouds and Mist was swift, he could not truly disengage due to the Divine Phoenix woman's entanglement, preventing him from truly shaking off Xiao Mu and Senior Zun.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

From the south, a streak of five-colored Escape Light skimmed the ground, someone rapidly approaching using the Five Escapes Combined Technique.

"Senior, can you make out who it is?"

Xiao Mu glanced at the five-colored Escape Light, finding it somewhat familiar, but due to the great distance, he couldn't distinguish who was enveloped within it at the moment.

With a realm far surpassing Xiao Mu's and keener vision, Senior Zun looked at the rapidly approaching five-colored Escape Light and confidently said, "It's Wei Lingxiao."

"It's Great Leader Wei."

Xiao Mu was surprised but also slightly delighted in his heart.

Although he already knew Wei Lingxiao was coming to support from the information sent by Zhu Bingshen, seeing Wei Lingxiao hurtle toward them using the Five-in-One Escape left him feeling unavoidably joyful.

Wei Lingxiao's Escape Art was fast; it didn't take long before he approached from the side and joined forces with Xiao Mu and Senior Zun.

"Xiao Xiao, we meet again. Senior Zun, it's been a long time!"

Within the Five-color Escape Light, Wei Lingxiao greeted Xiao Mu and Zun simultaneously.

"Old Wei, it's been a long time, I never expected you to be able to spare the time to come and support us; it's truly beyond my expectations."

Zun was surprised that Wei Lingxiao could come to support them.

"Leader Wei, hello!"

Xiao Mu courteously saluted Wei Lingxiao with a clasped fist.

"Xiao Mu, greetings to you too!"

Wei Lingxiao responded to Xiao Mu, then quickly turned back to Zun, smiling, "It's because Zhu Bingshen's messenger was stationed at my Yin Merchant Ruins to help monitor Tai Cang City God in the Canglin Region, so I entrusted the task of watching over Tai Cang City God to the messenger."

"However, I sneaked out without him knowing. When I return, I bet Zhu's messenger is going to give me a earful, haha!"

With that, Wei Lingxiao laughed heartily.

But he had barely laughed for a moment when he noticed the unusual expressions on Xiao Mu and Zun's faces. Wei Lingxiao quickly stopped laughing and asked seriously, "Xiao Xiao, Senior Zun, has something happened since the Curse Ancestor made his appearance?"

Xiao Mu replied gravely, "The Curse Ancestor killed Qi Xie."

"Qi Xie?" Wei Lingxiao was startled. Qi Xie was an elder-level figure within the Alliance, someone Wei Lingxiao certainly knew. He immediately said with hatred, "The Curse Ancestor truly deserves to die!"

Xiao Mu said, "I invited Leader Wei here to kill the Curse Ancestor. No matter who it is, as long as they can kill the Curse Ancestor, I will gift them a half Cursed Stone which contains half the curse authority. Any True God Realm powerhouse who obtains it could merge with the Cursed Stone and instantly become half a True God, achieving the status of half a Curse Founder."

Wei Lingxiao had already heard about the promise of half the curse authority from Zun's information, but he still couldn't help but secretly marvel at the news.

This Xiao Xiao's treasure-finding ability was simply too powerful; he actually managed to obtain half a Cursed Stone.

"Even if it wasn't for the half Cursed Stone, the divine weapons and treasures, knowing the Curse Ancestor killed Qi Xie, I would still do my utmost to help you kill the Curse Ancestor."

Wei Lingxiao spoke courteously while looking ahead at the figure of the Divine Phoenix Woman who was engaged in a fierce battle with the Curse Ancestor and drifting further away in the clouds, "Is that the Divine Phoenix Woman?"

"It is her," Zun responded.

"No wonder she can hold off the Curse Ancestor," Wei Lingxiao nodded, "With Divine Phoenix Woman leading the attack, plus our support, it's possible to take down the Curse Ancestor."

Though he said so, one could still detect from his tone that Leader Wei did not have much confidence in actually taking down the Curse Ancestor.

With the Divine Phoenix Woman seemingly at a disadvantage in her solo fight against the Curse Ancestor, Xiao Mu's realm was too low to be of use in such a high-level battle, and with just him and Zun's cooperation, the likelihood of helping Divine Phoenix Woman take down, let alone kill, the Curse Ancestor was indeed slim.

Xiao Mu guessed what Wei Lingxiao was thinking and immediately said, "Apart from you, Leader Wei, Senior Zun has also notified several other True God Realm powerhouses. There should be others arriving one after another to join in the hunt for the Curse Ancestor."

"You have notified others too?"

Wei Lingxiao was taken aback, then he exclaimed joyfully, "If other True God Realm powerhouses come to support us, then our chances of taking down the Curse Ancestor will increase significantly. Hmm, right, Senior Zun, how many do you think will be able to make it here?"

Zun thought for a moment, "To my knowledge, Huang Yuan will definitely come, but the guardians of the Kunlun Boundary Wall and the East Sea Boundary Wall surely can't make it. Not to mention that they can't just leave the Boundary Walls, even if they could, it wouldn't be in time to come here for support."

"Besides that, those I estimate might be able to make it include the leader of the Three Emperors' Tomb, Lv Liangping, the leader of the Five Emperors' Mausoleum, Xu Jianan, and yes, Wu Jie should also be able to arrive."

Upon hearing Zun mention Wu Jie, Xiao Mu couldn't help but interject, "Leader Wu Jie is currently blockading the Great Tang Ruins, preventing the Curse Emperor, the True Monarch of the Five Elements, and the Funeral God from infiltrating. It's very likely that he won't be able to come."

"Oh!" Zun looked thoughtfully at Xiao Mu, who was so familiar with Wu Jie's whereabouts; it seemed a certain arrangement had been made between them beforehand.

Wei Lingxiao, however, spoke joyfully, "That's enough, that should be enough. Together with Huang Yuan, Lv Liangping, Xu Jianan, and adding both me and Senior Zun to the mix, along with the Divine Phoenix Woman, we should have the strength necessary to kill the Curse Ancestor."
