Then, Yang Yu once again turned to Xiao Mu. With her little hands pressed together, she bowed to Xiao Mu, her eyes bright and earnest.

"Little sister Yang Yu asks you, please rest assured, with me here, no one can harm your brother."

Xiao Mu smiled, promising her. He suddenly felt these siblings were quite interesting.

"Thank you so much, big brother Xiao!"

Yang Yu once again bowed respectfully to Xiao Mu, her manner very thorough.

Having said that, she turned again to Yang Jun with a serious caution, "Brother, if you ever encounter a Divine Spirits Realm powerhouse, you mustn't try to be brave."

"Do you think I need to be told that?"

Yang Jun replied with impatience. Seeing Yang Yu's displeased expression, he hastily corrected himself, "Don't worry, if I meet a powerhouse, I'll hide right away."

"That's more like it."

Yang Yu nodded slightly, "Big brother Xiao, brother, I won't hold you up any longer."

As she spoke, she smiled and waved to Xiao Mu, and once more she cautioned Yang Jun, "Please take care of him, big brother Xiao. Brother, be sure to come back safely."

After repeating her admonitions several times, the young girl then turned and went back to the Data Room.

"Nagging!"

It wasn't until Yang Yu walked into the Data Room and was out of sight that Yang Jun muttered loudly, his tone full of dissatisfaction, but there was a smile on his face.

"Your sister is really good to you, huh!" Xiao Mu commented casually.

"Of course, she and I are all that's left of our family."

Yang Jun said with pride, and then suddenly became alert, casting a wary look at Xiao Mu, "Brother Xiao, this... Please don't take any interest in my sister."

This was a siscon maniac!

Xiao Mu gave Yang Jun a strange look, suddenly understanding the man a bit better. He assured him verbally, "Brother Yang, rest assured, I have no interest in your sister."

"How come that sounds so odd, as if my sister isn't good enough? But, never mind, it's fine as long as you don't have designs on my sister," Yang Jun grumbled, finally relieved, then added, "My sister is a data clerk at Five-Finger Buddha Mountain, working in the Data Room."

I figured as much without you saying it.

Xiao Mu had already guessed Yang Yu's occupation and replied silently to himself.

Yang Jun seemed to have opened up, "However, compared to the Ruins Headquarters, the Five-Finger Buddha Mountain is on the frontline, too dangerous. I don't mind, but my sister's Realm is too low, only at the Mortal Realm Fifth Level. I've always wanted to send her to work in the Data Room at the Headquarters."

Xiao Mu knew that Yang Jun was referring to the Great Tang Ruins Headquarters, not the Alliance Headquarters. After a moment's thought, he responded, "Many of the workers at the Headquarters are Variants in the Mortal Realm, but there's too much internal competition. It's very difficult for an ordinary Variant in the Mortal Realm to get to the Ruins Headquarters."

"However, Brother Yang is acquainted with Elder Gu, why not ask Elder Gu for help? With a word from Elder Gu, it shouldn't be hard for your sister to enter the Ruins Headquarters, right?"

"Elder Gu has helped my sister and me a lot, I don't want to trouble him with such matters any more," Yang Jun firmly shook his head, but his face showed deep gratitude when he mentioned Gu Hui, "As Brother Xiao said, it's indeed not easy for my sister to work at the Ruins Headquarters."

"That's why I must find a way to break through to the Divine Spirits Realm and obtain a Spirit Tablet position."

"In our ruins, the powerful beings in the Divine Spirits Realm and those with a Spirit Tablet are strong enough to bring Mortals into the Headquarters."

Xiao Mu listened to Yang Jun speak with such fighting spirit, but he couldn't help shaking his head inwardly.

He wanted to tell Yang Jun that to bring his sister into the Ruins Headquarters, one does not necessarily need to step into the Divine Spirits Realm or obtain a Spirit Tablet position.

It's not easy for Variants in the Mortal Realm to get to the Headquarters, but it's not too difficult for Variants in the True Realm. Thus, if he could find a way to help Yang Yu break through to the True Stage, he could easily solve the problem.

However, as the words reached his lips, he held back. For an ordinary Mutated Being, breaking into the True Realm is also very difficult. Aside from the Breaking Reality Pill, it also depends on one's own foundation and talent. Some Variants with poor foundation and low talent might never be able to break into the True Realm in their lifetimes.

Apart from that, Xiao Mu himself could also help the Yang siblings.

With just a word from Xiao Mu, not to mention entering the Great Tang Ruins Headquarters, it wouldn't be impossible for them to enter the Alliance Headquarters.

However, Xiao Mu likewise did not say this, since Yang Jun did not express a need for his help, so he found it inappropriate to overstep.

"I wish Brother Yang an early acquisition of the Divine Spirit Tablet business," Xiao Mu said with a smile, uttering what could just barely be considered a blessing.

"Thank you for your auspicious words, Brother Xiao. I will certainly make it," Yang Jun said, his expression spirited as he clenched his fist, full of fighting spirit.

After descending from Five-Finger Buddha Mountain, the two kept moving northwest through Escape Art.

Since Yang Jun's realm was lower and his cultivation of the Escape Art hadn't kept up, he could only move forward slowly with his physical techniques. Xiao Mu had no choice but to abandon the Escape Art and move alongside Yang Jun using physical techniques as well.

Feeling that his lack of cultivation in the Escape Art was impeding their progress, Yang Jun repeatedly expressed his apologies to Xiao Mu, who didn't really mind and made polite remarks to not take it to heart.

Two days later, the two finally left the Bodhi Domain and entered the Putuo Domain.

The master of the Putuo Domain was named Zhang Shunming, a man in his forties in the Mid Yin God Realm, rumored to be a rebirth of a Yin Spirit from the end of the Ming dynasty.

However, his realm had recently almost come to a standstill, with no progress in his cultivation for a long time.

This led the Putuo Domain Master to become disheartened in advancing his cultivation and he volunteered to be stationed in Putuo Domain.

Outside the Domain Master's mansion in the Putuo Domain, after stating their purpose, the guard reported inside, and Domain Master Zhang Shunming came out to greet them in person.

He already knew Yang Jun and had long heard of Xiao Mu, so their meeting was followed by polite exchanges.

Upon hearing about Xiao Mu's purpose from Yang Jun, surprise immediately showed on Zhang Shunming's face as he exclaimed, "Brother Xiao is looking for Wang Yu from the Life and Death Sect?"

Xiao Mu nodded, "Brother Zhang, do you know of this person's whereabouts?"

"What a coincidence!"

Zhang Shunming's face broke into a smile, "Our Putuo Domain is actually looking for this person as well. Brother Xiao, please, let's walk and talk."

With that, he gestured for Xiao Mu to enter the Domain Master's mansion.

"After you, Brother Zhang," Xiao Mu said politely and, upon Zhang Shunming's insistence, entered the Domain Master's mansion alongside Yang Jun, with the three conversing as they walked.

Zhang Shunming said, "Recently, many people have gone missing in our Putuo Domain, and according to the current information, it is very likely the doing of Wang Yu from the Life and Death Sect."

"Missing?"

Xiao Mu was taken aback and immediately had a thought: Could this be related to the Life and Death Sect's Sculpted Images for temple construction? Were the missing people craftsmen? Did the Life and Death Sect abduct them to help construct temples for the Undying Divine Sovereign?

Without hesitation, he asked, "Brother Zhang, are the people missing from Putuo Domain possibly the craftsmen of our human world?"

"You mean the Life and Death Sect's conspiracy of abducting craftsmen from the Great Tang Ruins to build temples for the rebirth of the Undying Divine Sovereign?"

Zhang Shunming guessed what was on Xiao Mu's mind and glanced at him.

Xiao Mu nodded, "Exactly, it seems the chief has already conveyed the Life and Death Sect's conspiracy to the Putuo Domain."

"It was conveyed here many days ago."

Zhang Shunming laughed, clearly unaware that the conspiracy of the Life and Death Sect to abduct craftsmen for the Undying Divine Sovereign's temple construction was actually uncovered by the person before him. After briefly outlining the situation, he continued, "However, Brother Xiao, I'm afraid you're mistaken. The missing persons in our Putuo Domain are mostly unrelated to the revival of the Undying Divine Sovereign, as most of the disappeared do not have any connection to craftsmen."

"Not craftsmen?"

Xiao Mu was somewhat surprised; the missing persons in the Putuo Domain were not craftsmen, then what other schemes could the Life and Death Sect have?

"That's right, to be precise, the vast majority aren't," Zhang Shunming gestured towards the direction of the Domain Master's mansion and invited Xiao Mu and Yang Jun, "Brother Xiao, Brother Yang, please! In light of this matter, many people have already arrived in the mansion. There are those sent from the Ruins Headquarters, Mutated Beings who have come of their own accord upon hearing the news, and even experts from the Great Xia Realm."

"In any case, everyone who has arrived is related to the recent disappearances in the Putuo Domain, it's just that there are no leads yet."

"Brother Xiao has established great contributions for the Ruins and the Alliance on several occasions and is exceptionally capable. We hope you can help us. Please!"
