Xiao Mu utilized the Escape Art and made his way back to the Domain Master's mansion of the Putuo Domain. In no time at all, he reached the outside of the Domain Master's mansion.

Following that, Xiao Mu executed the Feign Death Technique to use the Great Decree to summon the wind and enter his room.

After a brief rest, Xiao Mu walked straight out the door, leaving his room, and entered the living room.

At this moment, the news had clearly not yet reached the Domain Master's mansion, and everyone was still sitting in the living room waiting. Seeing Xiao Mu appear, everyone glanced at him almost in unison.

Zhang Shunming asked with a smile, "Brother Xiao, you finished your business so quickly?"

"I just took care of a few things."

Xiao Mu nodded slightly, pretending to be concerned, "Brother Zhang, has there been no news yet?"

Zhang Shunming shook his head, "Not yet, but I believe it will be soon."

"Then that's good."

Xiao Mu sat down on the couch without any indication of his thoughts and waited with everyone else.

Just then, the door was suddenly pushed open, and a young Variant in the Mortal Realm in his early twenties rushed into the living room.

Zhang Shunming glanced at the young man, "Chen Xiao, what happened?"

The young Variant Chen Xiao said, "Domain Master, there's news from the Life and Death Sect."

"There's news?"

Zhang Shunming couldn't help but stand up, his happiness evident.

As the master of a domain, he would not normally be this restless, but since he had been waiting for the Life and Death Sect's location information for several days and had been urged countless times in between, he was impatient upon hearing of the news.

"Domain Master, please look." The young Variant Chen Xiao handed Zhang Shunming a cellphone.

Zhang Shunming took the cellphone and couldn't wait to look at it. Ban Ruo Domain Master Chen Zeng, who had an extraordinary relationship with Zhang Shunming, leaned in closely to look at the content on the cellphone with him.

Zhao Yaogu, Cen Xian, and other Mutated Beings looked nervously at Zhang Shunming and Chen Zeng, full of curiosity about the information on the cellphone.

Only Xiao Mu, unaffected, guessed the content on Zhang Shunming's cellphone and secretly smiled, pretending to drink tea by picking up a cup of Spiritual Tea from the coffee table.

"Great joy, everyone, great joy."

Zhang Shunming's face beamed with happiness. After a while, he put down his cellphone, looked up at the crowd with joy, and exclaimed, "Gentlemen, great joy, the location of the Life and Death Sect has been discovered, and both Wang Yu and Liu Jin have been killed."

Just as expected!

Xiao Mu continued to drink his tea, completely composed.

The others, however, were shocked by the news. Zhao Yaogu suddenly sat upright, his voice filled with disbelief, "Domain Master Zhang, are you saying that Wang Yu and Liu Jin were killed by your men?"

Cen Xian and Zhao Yaogu felt equally incredulous as they exclaimed, "Domain Master Zhang, your men killed Wang Yu and Liu Jin?"

Both of them could hardly believe the fact that Wang Yu and Liu Jin had been killed, as both were Divine Spirits realm powerhouses. How could Ban Ruo Domain and Bodhi Domain's people possibly have the ability to kill Wang Yu and Liu Jin?

If Ban Ruo Domain and Bodhi Domain had the ability to kill Wang Yu and Liu Jin, then there would have been no need for Zhang Shunming and Chen Zeng to ask for their alliance.

"My apologies!"

Zhang Shunming said with a remorseful expression, "It's my fault for not explaining clearly. Brother Zhao, Brother Cen, both Wang Yu and Liu Jin are dead, but not at the hands of our people."

"The truth is, our people discovered some disturbance in the Jinhai Garden a couple hundred miles away. When they rushed over, they found the Life and Death Sect's hideout and the people captured by them. Besides two who were left alive, all members of the Life and Death Sect, including Wang Yu and Liu Jin, had been killed."

Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback once again, while Xiao Mu carried on drinking his tea as if nothing had happened.

"There's actually such a matter? Domain Master Zhang, do you know who did it?"

Zhao Yaogu was utterly perplexed, at a loss as to why this would happen.

Cen Xian's thoughts were similar to Zhao Yaogu's; he was also puzzled about who had discovered the Life and Death Sect's hideout and killed the Sect members, including Wang Yu and Liu Jin.

Zhang Shunming shook his head and gave a bitter smile, "I am ashamed to admit that we do not have any clues about who killed Wang Yu and Liu Jin. However, that person deliberately left behind two survivors, so we could question them for information, which means no doubt it was one of our own."

"This is strange. If it was one of our own, why hide their identity and not let us know it was them who did it?" Zhao Yaogu was perplexed and after pondering for a moment, became even more confused.

Zhang Shunming said, "This is exactly why I find it weird. Not only did this person kill Wang Yu and Liu Jin, but they also stripped Liu Jin of his Mountain God status."

"Mountain… Mountain God status? Domain Master Zhang, are you saying they stripped Liu Jin of his Mountain God status?"

Zhao Yaogu couldn't remain seated any longer and stood up from the sofa, utterly shaken.

Someone capable of stripping away the Mountain God status was no ordinary strongman; it was the first time he had heard of such a person, and he could hardly believe it.

Cen Xian was just as deeply shocked as Zhao Yaogu, and after gathering his thoughts, he said, "Someone who can strip the Mountain God status is no ordinary individual. Brother Zhao mentioned that stripping status must involve the power of the Human Emperor. Could it be that someone from the headquarters has come with the Human Emperor's power?"

Looking towards Zhao Yaogu.

"This… I can't be certain. But if someone can strip status, in my view, it is virtually certain that they did it with the power of the Human Emperor; otherwise, I can't imagine any other way someone could strip another's status. But even if this person stripped status with the power of the Human Emperor, that still makes them extremely remarkable."
