"Shush, keep it down," another voice, sounding somewhat sharp, arose with a tension, "After all, he is here to help the Ancestor revive, and besides, a bit of arrogance is normal for someone from the Heavenly Court."

"Without the identity of the Heavenly Court, he wouldn't dare to point fingers and issue orders in front of our leader. Even with ten times the courage, he wouldn't dare."

The person who had spoken first let out a disgruntled shout, clearly dissatisfied.

Xiao Mu sensed the strengths of these two men through the stone—they were merely at the Mortal Realm, not having ascended to the True Realm.

As long as they were not in the True Realm, they were not considered enemies by Xiao Mu, nor were they even worth any Energy Points.

Divine Sense surged from his body, as he unleashed the formidable authority of the City God directly at the two men behind the stone, oppressing them.

The two men from the Life and Death Sect could not even cry out before they were suppressed to the ground. The next second, Xiao Mu's figure moved beyond the stone, appearing in front of the two men from the Life and Death Sect.

Seeing Xiao Mu, the faces of the two men immediately showed fear, unable to hide their terror.

Xiao Mu was the man Emperor Taija had personally ordered to be executed, and these two males from the Life and Death Sect undoubtedly recognized his identity.

Xiao Mu had no intention of questioning the two men. He flicked his fingers at each of them, and the True Force shot out like a sword, piercing directly into the brains of the men, instantly ending their lives.

Immediately afterward, two shadows flew out from the bodies of the men—they were Yin Souls.

Xiao Mu reached out and grabbed the two Yin Souls in his hand, using Divine Sense to communicate with closed eyes.

Soon after, Xiao Mu opened his eyes and blew on the two shadows, causing them to vanish like smoke.

Through the communication, Xiao Mu learned that the envoy from the Heavenly Court mentioned by the two men was the same person he had seen using the Escape Art to leave Jinhai Garden not long ago.

Inside Jinhai Garden was the gathering place of the Life and Death Sect, headed by Wang Yu and Liu Jin, two strong practitioners in the Divine Spirit Realm.

Wang Yu and Liu Jin had received a list from the higher-ups of the Life and Death Sect, and by command of the higher-ups, they went to the Ban Ruo Domain and Bodhi Domain to abduct those named on the list.

As to why they needed to abduct those on the list, the two men had too low power to access the secrets of the higher-ups, thus they were completely unaware.

The identity of the envoy from the Heavenly Court was also unknown to the two men; they only knew he was a Yin God of Retribution.

The purpose of the Heavenly Court envoy's visit to Jinhai Garden was to convey commands to Wang Yu and Liu Jin. As for the content of the commands, they had no knowledge of it.

"Besides Wang Yu and Liu Jin, there are no other powerful figures in Jinhai Garden. Since that is the case, I don't have much to worry about. But, I must still be wary of hidden experts in the garden, as these two Variant Beings in the Mortal Realm might be too low in position to be involved in top secrets. Hmm, it's best not to be too conspicuous; I shall adapt to the situations as they arise,"

At that moment, because of the delay caused by killing the two men from the Life and Death Sect in the Mortal Realm, the tiny figure transformed from Spirit Blood had already left Xiao Mu's line of sight and could no longer be seen.

Xiao Mu had no intention of looking for the tiny figure. He kept his gaze on the depths of Jinhai Garden. The next moment, he unfolded his fleet movements, heading towards the location of Wang Yu and Liu Jin as provided by the two men from the Mortal Realm.

Boom!

He had only taken a few steps when suddenly, there was a thunderous noise beneath his feet, the earth shook, and, with a crack, a massive fissure appeared under Xiao Mu's feet, splitting the ground into two and causing him to involuntarily sink down into the vast crack.

"Earth God Rank!"

Xiao Mu's thoughts stirred, immediately realizing someone was launching a sneak attack on him using the Earth God Rank.

But then, just as this thought occurred, Xiao Mu's surroundings suddenly darkened as if a huge cloud had covered the sky. A heavy, fierce sensation came from the sky above, and a Black Mountain descended from the heavens, aimed right at Xiao Mu's head, pressing down directly.

"Mountain God! It must be Wang Yu and Liu Jin,"

The mountain descending upon him made Xiao Mu realize someone was using the Mountain God Rank to oppress him, in coordination with the recent fissure from the Earth God Rank. This led him immediately to deduce that the sneak attack was from Wang Yu and Liu Jin.

He was not sure how Wang Yu and Liu Jin had discovered him and were launching a covert attack, but he had no interest in pondering further.

"Hum!"

With a thought from Xiao Mu, the Golden City God Statue appeared above his head, the statue radiating golden light, and divine power burst forth extravagantly. In the hands of the City God Statue, respectively, were the Book of Life and Death and the Judge Pen.

"Up! Mend!"

Xiao Mu pointed at the descending black mountain and the earth fissure from beneath, the decisive and serene authority of the divine figure releasing in a circular motion outward.

Crack, boom!

Sounds came from above and below, the mountain flew away, and the earth was instantly mended to completeness.

"City God! Who...who are you?"

"Are you Xiao Mu?"

Cries of alarm came from Xiao Mu's left and right, the voices of the two men filled with surprise and panic.

"Wang Yu, Liu Jin."

Xiao Mu's feet shimmered with golden light, using the Earth Escape Technique to slightly retreat, thereby, in an instant, positioning the two men before him.

The two men, one on the right appeared to be about forty years old, his face covered with a full beard, constantly emitting the aura of life and death, his power level in the mid Divine Spirit Realm.

Besides, above his head was a Golden Statue of the Earth God, the Earth God adorned with the Purple Sun Silver Light Crown,
