"Is Wang Yu of the ancient divine bloodline? Brother Xiao, is this true?" Cen Xian was visibly moved. Xiao Mu's words had clearly taken him by surprise, and he turned unconsciously to look at Wang Yu.

"I... I don't know, Uncle, am I really a descendant of the ancient Divine Beings?" Wang Yu stammered, his face nevertheless betraying unmistakable delight.

For him, a mere mortal, it was clearly a matter of pride to be of the ancient divine bloodline.

Cen Xian looked incredulously toward Xiao Mu.

"What? Brother Cen, do you suspect that I am lying?" Xiao Mu smiled and teased casually.

"How dare I! Brother Xiao, is Wang Yu truly a descendant of the ancient Divine Beings?" Cen Xian, still in disbelief, asked Xiao Mu for confirmation again.

Xiao Mu nodded, saying, "Unquestionably, except that Mr. Wang's divine bloodline is too dilute, almost imperceptible."

Wang Yu appeared somewhat disappointed upon hearing this.

However, Cen Xian gave an understanding "Oh," realizing, "So that's it, no wonder the Wang family has never shown any signs of abnormality. It's because their bloodline is too diluted. Brother Xiao, do you know what the hidden ancient divine bloodline within Wang Yu is related to?"

How would I know that? You think I can see everything?

Xiao Mu murmured in his heart, but his face showed a smile, giving off an air of inscrutable profundity with just a faint smile.

Seeing this, Cen Xian faltered, thinking Xiao Mu knew but did not wish to say, and thus tactfully refrained from asking further.

Soon after, Zhang Shunming came back from outside, looking toward Xiao Mu, "I have already sent someone to investigate the homes of the missing persons. I believe news will be back soon. Whether the missing persons that Brother Xiao mentioned are all linked to the bloodlines of Divine Beings will soon be confirmed."

"Thank you, Domain Master Zhang!" Xiao Mu nodded in gratitude toward Zhang Shunming.

"Brother Xiao is too polite, this is merely my duty," said Zhang Shunming as he sat down next to Xiao Mu.

The group sat down for a casual chat, and after a little while, the results of the investigations that Zhang Shunming had sent out came back one by one. As Xiao Mu had speculated, each missing person did possess the ancient divine bloodline, all were descendants of the ancient Divine Beings.

The outcome surprised everyone immensely, vaguely sensing a conspiracy behind these events, causing each of them to look solemn, privately speculating what the intentions of the Life and Death Sect were, and why they were abducting those of the ancient divine bloodline massively.

Zhao Yaogu said, "No wonder the Life and Death Sect sent Wang Yu and Liu Jin, two strong Divine Spirit Realm beings, to preside; it turns out it involves the ancient divine bloodline."

"Brother Xiao, Brother Cen, these two figures are no ordinary foes, we must unite when the time comes, otherwise, I fear none of us can match Wang Yu and Liu Jin alone."

"Indeed."

Cen Xian glanced at Xiao Mu, somewhat unsure about Xiao Mu's strength, but ultimately he nodded in agreement with Zhao Yaogu's words, "Wang Yu is in the Mid Divine Spirit Realm, possessing the Earth God Rank and the Divine Treasure, the Purple Sun Silver Radiance Crown, and although Liu Jin is only at the Early Divine Spirit Realm, he too holds the Mountain God Rank, which is the most powerful among the Yin God Ranks, wielding the Mountain God's Divine Treasure, the Purple Void Silver Mist Robe."

"With ranks combined with Divine Treasures, added to their realms and the Two Forces of Life and Death, their strengths are certainly formidable. Brother Zhao is right; for us, joining forces is the only option."

Zhang Shunming nodded, "Brother Zhao and Brother Cen's suggestion is excellent. Against such high-level opponents, the best strategy is to stick together to avoid being defeated individually. Brother Xiao, what do you think?"

As Zhang Shunming spoke, he slightly leaned back, looking toward Xiao Mu who was sitting to his left.

"The three of you all make sense."

Xiao Mu said with a smile, nodding, not contradicting what Zhang Shunming had said.

Although internally he didn't agree with Zhao Yaogu, Cen Xian, and Zhang Shunming at all—considering the strengths of Wang Yu and Liu Jin of the Life and Death Sect to be quite strong, but only relative to Mutated Beings of Zhao Yaogu and Cen Xian's level.

Although Xiao Mu was only at the Early Divine Spirit Realm, a level below Wang Yu, he was a Divine Being by rank. He held both the city god's Divine Treasure, the Life and Death Book, and the Judge Pen.

With the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor and Judge Pen combined, his power was formidable even among Divine Beings.

To Xiao Mu, merely holding the rank of Yin God, Wang Yu and Liu Jin really amounted to nothing spectacular.

Yet Xiao Mu did not refute Zhao Yaogu, Cen Xian, and Zhang Shunming, to avoid seeming arrogant or acquiring a reputation for instability.

Yang Jun suddenly exclaimed, "The reason Wang Yu and Liu Jin are so powerful is mainly due to their Divine Being status, which is incredibly difficult to attain."

Xiao Mu's face broke into a smile, seizing the opportunity to glance at Yang Jun, who looked troubled while speaking, clearly deeply concerned about the matter of obtaining a rank.

This person had always wanted to enter the Great Tang Ruins Headquarters with the prowess of his sister alone, but since his sister was only a mortal, he had only two options: to step into the Divine Spirit Realm himself or to obtain a rank and become a Yin God.

"Who is this?" Zhao Yaogu, not recognizing Yang Jun, immediately turned his head and asked Zhang Shunming about Yang Jun's identity.

Zhang Shunming quickly introduced him, "Brother Zhao, this gentleman is our Yang Jun from the West Sixth Domain of the Great Tang Ruins stationed at Five-Finger Buddha Mountain. He is here by the Command of Elder Gu Hui to lead the way for Brother Xiao."

"No wonder he's competent, he turns out to be the guardian of Five-Finger Buddha Mountain."

Zhao Yaogu, seeing that Yang Jun was only at the Mid Yin God Realm, nodded kindly toward him, "Young man, you mentioned that obtaining the Divine Being rank is extremely difficult, and it's indeed true. In fact, not only in your Great Tang Ruins, but across the entire Alliance, ranks are considered scarce resources."
