The Divine Phoenix woman and the Curse Ancestor gradually moved westward in their battle while Xiao Mu, Zun, and Wei Lingxiao employed the Five Elements Escaping Technique and the Five-in-One Escape to chase them on the ground.
The Curse Ancestor seemed to realize that reinforcements from the human world were arriving one after another, so the idea of fleeing grew even stronger. During the battle with the Divine Phoenix woman, he gradually defended more than attacked, devoting most of his energy to figuring out how to escape.
Although he was half a True God, he could not withstand a group of Divine Spirits ganging up on him. The longer the delay, the more support the human side would have, and the harder it would be for him to break free.
Not to mention, the Curse Ancestor was unaware that the Lord of Bai's Mansion had already disappeared without a trace, and he was even more worried that if the Lord of Bai's Mansion appeared, he would then have an even harder time escaping, becoming increasingly panicked.
The Divine Phoenix woman also noticed the Curse Ancestor's desire to flee and tenaciously held on to him, not giving the Curse Ancestor a chance to escape.
Although her strength was not as great as the Curse Ancestor's, the mark of the Human Emperor symbolized the authority of the Human Emperor and possessed incredibly powerful might. Alone with the seal, she firmly held the Curse Ancestor, denying him any chance to break free and run away.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
A five-color Escape Light rushed from the West, approaching Xiao Mu and the others like lightning.
"Huang Yuan has arrived," Zun immediately recognized the figure within the Escape Light, knowing it was Huang Yuan.
"It's Senior Huang!" Xiao Mu looked towards the Escape Light, filled with anticipation for Huang Yuan's arrival.
Huang Yuan's strength was somewhat comparable to Zun's, both being strong within the True God Realm. In the Alliance, Huang Yuan was among the top experts, and his arrival increased the success rate of surrounding and killing the Curse Ancestor.
"Xiao boy, is your promise to give half a Cursed Stone to whomever kills the Curse Ancestor for real?"
As soon as the Escape Light approached the crowd, Huang Yuan's voice came from within it.
"Of course, it's real. Senior Huang, the Curse Ancestor killed Qi Lao. Whoever kills the Curse Ancestor, I will give them half a Cursed Stone," Xiao Mu clearly knew Huang Yuan's character and was not in the least bit perturbed by his questioning.
"You actually have half a Cursed Stone?" Huang Yuan was surprised and turned to look at Zun.
Zun understood Huang Yuan well, "Old Huang, there's no need to doubt, Xiao Mu indeed has half a Cursed Stone in his possession; I've seen it with my own eyes."
"Then I'm relieved," Huang Yuan laughed heartily and then greeted Wei Lingxiao.
Xiao Mu and the others continued to chase the Divine Phoenix woman and the Curse Ancestor on the ground, but since the Curse Ancestor and the Divine Phoenix woman were fighting in the sky, and the people chasing on the ground didn't have the skill to ride clouds and mist, they couldn't help much for the time being.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh! Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
From the West, two beams of light appeared at the same time; they were Lv Liangping, the great leader of the Three Emperors' Tomb, and Xu Jianan, the great leader of the Five Emperors' Mausoleum, who had both arrived.
"Xiao Mu, let me introduce you. This is Lv Liangping, the grand leader of the Three Emperors' Tomb." Zun motioned to the green-clad elder enveloped in Calamity Qi.
"Greetings to Senior Lv!" Xiao Mu respectfully greeted Lv Liangping with a clasped-hand salute.
"A hero comes from youth. Seeing Xiao Xiao, I feel like I've already grown old," Lv Liangping laughed heartily, returning the salute with a clasped hand to Xiao Mu with no pretense whatsoever.
"Isn't that the truth?"
Zun responded to Lv Liangping and then pointed to the middle-aged man encased in Death Qi, wearing a pale golden Taoist robe, "Xiao Mu, this is Xu Jianan, the grand leader of the Five Emperors' Mausoleum. Old Xu, this is Xiao Mu, get to know each other."
"Zun, there's no need for introductions. I've heard Xiao Xiao's name so much, my ears have grown calluses," Xu Jianan said warmly as he walked forward to shake Xiao Mu's hand, "Xiao Xiao, how about considering joining our Five Emperors' Mausoleum? Not to boast, but our resources are much richer than the Great Tang Ruins. If you come to our Five Emperors' Mausoleum, you'll receive more attention than you would at the Great Tang Ruins."
Xiao Mu knew Xu Jianan was just being polite and quickly replied modestly, "Leader Xu, when I decide to leave the Great Tang Ruins, I'll certainly consider your Five Emperors' Mausoleum first."
"Haha! I'll wait for your arrival," Xu Jianan released Xiao Mu's hand with a hearty laugh.
After a round of pleasantries, everyone's attention quickly returned to the Divine Phoenix woman and the Curse Ancestor.
Xu Jianan glanced at the colorful clouds, "Is it the Divine Phoenix woman who has entangled the Curse Ancestor?"
Zun nodded, "Yes, it's indeed the Divine Phoenix woman."
"This seems a bit tricky, the Curse Ancestor is in the sky, we're on the ground, without the ability to ride clouds and mist, it's difficult to fight the Curse Ancestor," Lv Liangping took over the conversation but then turned to Xiao Mu, "Xiao Xiao, what do you plan to do?"
Xiao Mu replied, "Senior Lv, Senior Xu, Senior Wei, Senior Huang, and Senior Zun, I've asked you all to come in hopes that you could help the Divine Phoenix woman to surround and kill the Curse Ancestor. The Divine Phoenix woman takes the lead, and you, the seniors, assist in the surrounding attack."
Wei Lingxiao said, "Surrounding we can do, but since the Curse Ancestor is in the sky while we are on the ground, our ability to fight him from the ground is limited."
Huang Yuan glared, "Regardless, we fight first and speak later. Everyone is here, let's surround him together, the Curse Ancestor can't possibly handle fighting the Divine Phoenix woman and the five of us at the same time, right?"
"You're right, let's surround the Curse Ancestor first."
Zun nodded, "If nobody minds, may I distribute our forces accordingly?"
"Speak freely!" Lv Liangping responded.
"Zun, you're being too modest, just tell us what to do," said Xu Jianan.
Neither Wei Lingxiao nor Huang Yuan objected, and Xiao Mu, knowing he had no place to speak in such matters, chose to listen quietly.
Zun said, "Since that is the case, I won't stand on ceremony. The Curse Ancestor is fleeing to the West, and the Divine Phoenix woman is pursuing from the East."
