Upon hearing this, Wu Jie recalled Xiao Mu mentioning such a matter before, "Don't forget to share any important information with me in the future."

"If the Alliance Leader wishes to know, I will certainly inform the Alliance Leader," Xiao Mu replied.

Xiao Mu had no objections to sharing information, as after all, he and Wu Jie had a common goal. To be precise, he and the entire Human Alliance shared the same goal.

Zhu Bingshen listened with interest to the conversation between Xiao Mu and Wu Jie, and felt the internal dynamics of the Great Tang Ruins were truly special, particularly the relationship between Xiao Mu and Wu Jie, which did not resemble that of a subordinate and a leader at all.

However, this was also related to Xiao Mu's abilities. An average Mutated Being would not dare to be so casual with the Alliance Leader.

"Alliance Leader Wu, the Divine Treasures and Thunder God Position of Changming Thunder God have been successfully stripped away. Let's distribute them," Zhu Bingshen scanned the Divine Treasures and Thunder God Position of Changming and initiated negotiations with Wu Jie regarding the distribution of the spoils.

"It is indeed time to distribute the spoils of war."

Wu Jie's gaze lingered on Xiao Mu with a smile before addressing Zhu Bingshen, "Elder Zhu, this ambush on Changming Thunder God encountered many unexpected events, no one anticipated that both Tai Cang City God and Eternal Ancestor would appear."

"It seems that Heavenly Court was well-prepared, our level of information confidentiality is still inadequate."

Zhu Bingshen strongly agreed with Wu Jie's words, his speech tinged with a hint of self-reproach.

"Xiao Mu has made great contributions this time. If not for Xiao Mu's intervention, we wouldn't just be talking about failing to seize Changming Thunder God's Divine Treasures, we might have also suffered losses. Elder Zhu, you agree with this, don't you?"

Wu Jie's gaze shifted from Xiao Mu to Zhu Bingshen, his expression suddenly betraying a hint of craftiness.

Zhu Bingshen frowned, seemingly guessing Wu Jie's intentions, "Alliance Leader Wu, are you planning to go against our previous agreement?"

"How can you say that? Elder Zhu, it's true that the Great Tang Ruins had an agreement with Headquarters, but wasn't this battle won because of Xiao Mu from my Great Tang Ruins? What do you think, Elder Xu?"

As Wu Jie spoke, he suddenly looked towards Xu Xiuyun with an innocuous smile.

This Elder Xu, although not young, was still quite naive at heart. Without thinking, she immediately responded, "Alliance Leader Wu is quite right, Xiao Mu did indeed play a major role in this battle."

Zhu Bingshen ignored this scene entirely, unaffected, and continued to press Wu Jie, "Alliance Leader Wu, if we are to talk about who made the greatest contribution in this battle, it should be the Divine Phoenix."

"The reason we could successfully borrow the power of the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor is because the Divine Phoenix controlled it from a distance, and due to the manifestation of the Illusion of the Human Emperor, the Divine Phoenix has expended a great deal of energy, likely requiring a long time to recover."

"To assist you, the Headquarters really took a heavy loss this time."

"These are things the Divine Phoenix just told me over the phone. Do you want to ask her whether it's true or not, Alliance Leader Wu?"

While speaking, Zhu Bingshen took out his cellphone, opened it to the contact page for the Divine Phoenix, and boldly queried Wu Jie.

"Never mind, never mind. There is no reason for me to distrust Elder Zhu's words, and there is no need to verify with the Divine Phoenix. We will distribute as originally planned."

The moment Wu Jie heard about contacting the Divine Phoenix, he backed down immediately, opting to concede.

Whether what Zhu Bingshen said was true or not, checking with the Divine Phoenix was undoubtedly an unwise move.

Thereupon, the Great Tang Ruins and the Alliance Headquarters distributed the spoils taken from Changming Thunder God according to their agreement, including a Thunder Lord order token, the Thunder Lord's Treasures such as the Silver Wind Crown of the Eight Tribulations, Silver Wind Robe, and Silver Wind Boots, along with two authority-enforcing items, Lei Gong's Thunderous Attack and the Thunderbolt Hammer.

Apart from the Thunder Lord order token, Wu Jie also received Lei Gong's Thunderous Attack and the Silver Wind Crown of the Eight Tribulations, while Zhu Bingshen, representing the Headquarters, took the Silver Wind Robe, Silver Wind Boots, and the Thunderbolt Hammer.

No sooner had the treasures been received than Zhu Bingshen, along with Xu Xiuyun, said their farewells to the people of the Great Tang Ruins and returned to the Headquarters.

Wu Yan returned not long after Zhu Bingshen and Xu Xiuyun had left. He and Tai Cang City God had fought farther and farther away, initially at a disadvantage as he was no match for Tai Cang City God.

However, the emergence of the Illusion of the Human Emperor not only stripped Changming Thunder God of his Divine Treasures but also scared off Eternal Ancestor and likewise Tai Cang City God.

Outmatched by Tai Cang City God and seeing the opponent flee, Wu Yan did not give chase and instead headed straight back to Five-Finger Buddha Mountain.

Upon reunion and hearing the account of events from everyone, Wu Yan had known for a long time that Xiao Mu possessed the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor, but after listening to their descriptions, he was still astounded that the Emperor's Seal could actually control the treasures of the Human Emperor.

Afterward, Wu Jie called Yang Jun and his sister out from the building and also sent someone to notify Gu Hui, Elder Gu, to come over.

Summoning Yang Jun and his sister served the purpose of bringing them back to Headquarters.

The information that Zhu Bingshen gathered from Changming Thunder God's memories made Wu Jie realize the importance of the Yang siblings, especially the heritage of the ancient Array Master Yang Yuan that might be hidden in their bloodlines, compelling him not to take them lightly.

This time, taking the Yang siblings back to Headquarters was obviously to help Yang Jun boost his strength and help him accept the heritage of the ancient Array Master Yang Yuan more quickly.

Yang Yuan's heritage could help in the search for the Life and Death Seal within the Great Tang Ruins.

Before long, Gu Hui arrived, and Wu Jie announced his decision to take the Yang siblings back to Headquarters, which Gu Hui immediately agreed to.

The Yang siblings had long wished to go to Headquarters and were overjoyed upon hearing the news.

Soon after, everyone left Five-Finger Buddha Mountain and returned to the Headquarters of the Great Tang Ruins.

The next day, after arranging his work, Wu Jie notified Xiao Mu to come over.

Xiao Mu went to Solitary Straight Mountain, and at the foot of the mountain, he greeted Zhao Qian, who seemed distracted by a problem in his research and hardly responded to Xiao Mu's greeting.

Somehow, this outcome secretly delighted Xiao Mu, who thought it best if Zhao Qian's research never succeeded.

At the top of Solitary Straight Mountain, Wu Jie, for a rare change, sat upright in his bamboo chair, leaning against the backrest, slowly savoring a bowl of clear tea when Xiao Mu arrived.

"Congratulations to the great leader on becoming a Divine Spirit," Xiao Mu said, upon seeing the aura around Wu Jie, knowing he had fully integrated the Thunder God's Seal and gained the complete Thunder God Position.

"Just a Divine Spirit with only two Divine Treasures, nothing worth congratulating," Wu Jie replied modestly, though a satisfied look still appeared on his face.

There were many Divine Spirits with complete positions in the human world, but not many had two Divine Treasures simultaneously.

"I believe it won't be long before the great leader acquires the entire set of the Thunder Lord's Treasures," Xiao Mu said with a smile and blessings.

With a very good mood, Wu Jie casually set down his tea cup, "Hopefully, as you say, young man, take a seat."

Xiao Mu sat down on another bamboo chair, casually poured himself a cup of tea, and tasted it without any restraint.

Wu Jie didn't mind Xiao Mu's casual behavior around him at all, and after staring at Xiao Mu for a while, he sighed with admiration, "Your speed in advancing realms truly makes one envious."

Setting down his tea cup, Xiao Mu replied indifferently, "The great leader didn't call me here to speak of this, did he?"

"Enough!"

A smile emerged on Wu Jie's face as he shook his head gently, "Let's not engage in idle chat anymore, young man. I called you here to tell you that you've earned another merit for this mission. The Ruins have decided to provide you with an Energy Fruit to break through to the mid-stage of the Divine Spirit realm, to aid your advancement."

"The great leader is wise!"

Xiao Mu bowed to Wu Jie. He had guessed Wu Jie's purpose for calling him, but upon hearing Wu Jie's words, he couldn't help feeling joy.

"Enough with the flattery!"

Wu Jie laughed and scolded before tossing a document at Xiao Mu, "This is proof I've written for you. Take it straight to the Warehouse to claim the Energy Fruit."

"Thank you, great leader. Once I advance to the Divine Spirit realm, I will undoubtedly serve the Ruins even better," Xiao Mu said, picking up the document and bowing to Wu Jie in thanks before taking his leave from Solitary Straight Mountain.

Xiao Mu did not see Zhao Qian at the foot of Solitary Straight Mountain and muttered to himself, guessing that Zhao Qian must have gone to the Laboratory to conduct experiments.

He had no interest in checking Zhao Qian's Laboratory and went directly to the Warehouse with the proof document to claim the Energy Fruit. Then he returned to his own place to begin preparations for his seclusion.
