Knock, knock, knock!

The sound of knocking arose, and Xiao Mu lifted his gaze to the office door. His Spiritual Eye opened effortlessly, allowing his vision to penetrate the door and clearly see that it was Deputy Team Leader Zhao Ren standing outside, currently in charge of the Warehouse Area.

"Come in!"

"Team Leader Xiao, I've just received a request from the External Affairs Group to provide resources from the Logistics Department to help complete their task."

Zhao Ren entered with a sheet of request paper in hand. As he spoke, he put it on Xiao Mu's desk, muttering, "But logistics is in a tough spot; the warehouse is short on treasures. How can we help them?"

He uttered these words with a sigh in his voice.

"Team Leader Zhao, please have a seat."

Xiao Mu wasn't surprised by Zhao Ren's reaction and calmly invited him to sit on a chair in front of his desk.

Zhao Ren pulled the chair out and sat down with his arms crossed.

A slight smile flickered across Xiao Mu's face as he picked up the document and examined it closely.

"Team Leader Xiao,

The External Affairs Group will be heading to Twilight Forest Village next week to investigate the activities of the Life and Death Sect. However, within the mutated beings of the Life and Death Sect in Twilight Forest Village hide several Divine Spirit Realm powerhouses. Our group has already suffered injuries and deaths among its members during the task.

The Life and Death Sect is more powerful than our side. To prevent a large number of casualties among our personnel in battle, we request assistance from the Logistics Department to provide resources that will help us achieve victory in combat—External Affairs Group."

"Alright, I've got it. Team Leader Zhao, leave the assistance for the External Affairs Group to me. You can go tend to other duties; leave this matter to me."

Xiao Mu put the file down and looked at Zhao Ren.

"If that's the case, I'll head back now. If there's anything you need help with, Team Leader Xiao, just let me know."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Zhao Ren pulled his chair back and left Xiao Mu's office.

"Working in the Logistics Department is really no easy task. Fortunately, it's me. If it were anyone else, they might not be able to handle it."

After Zhao Ren's departure, Xiao Mu reflected aloud, and then continued contemplating how to help the External Affairs Group complete their task.

Undoubtedly, resources like Divine Weapons and Divine Treasures were the most capable of boosting the strength of the External Affairs Group, thereby aiding them better in completing their tasks.

But Divine Weapons and Treasures are scarce in the Human World and not easily acquired. How easy can it be to help the External Affairs Group by providing such precious tools?

"I wonder how many treasures there are in the Five Elements Sect's third Ruins, as mentioned by Elder Lu's Chief. I hope it's enough for the distribution among the Great Tang Ruins and the Three Emperors' Tomb. Now, we can only pin our hopes on Yang Jun receiving more inheritances and creating even more powerful Array Breaking Orders."

"Elder Xu and Fang Ying have returned from their curse recovery. Taking this opportunity, I might as well go see them and take the chance to understand why they suddenly went mad enough to volunteer for an adventure to Twilight Forest Village."

Leaving his office chair, Xiao Mu emerged from his office, headed out of the Logistics Department, and went towards Xu Qianwu's residence.

"Xiao Xiao, come in. It's been a long time since I've seen you. Look at you; your Realm has already reached the same level as mine."

Xiao Mu's rapid rise in Realm astonished Xu Qianwu. It had only been a few months since he was cursed by the Curse Ancestor, and yet, in such a short period, Xiao Mu's strength had increased tremendously, reaching the same Realm as his.

"Elder Xu, you seem to have recovered well."

Taking the opportunity, Xiao Mu used his Spiritual Eye to examine Xu Qianwu, noting that the Curse Power within the latter's body had been completely eradicated, with no signs of ever having been cursed.

When the curse that afflicted him was mentioned, Xu Qianwu rarely showed a trace of emotion, "I have to thank the Headquarters for not abandoning us. Fortunately, Zhou Xuanmen received half of a curse responsibility and became a half Curse Ancestor; otherwise, the Curse Ancestor's curse, personally cast, would not be so easily removed."

Can I tell you that the half curse responsibility of Zhou Xuanmen was actually given to the Divine Phoenix Woman by me?

A flash of pride ran through his mind, but Xiao Mu's expression remained perfectly composed, "Elder Xu, how is Elder Fang recovering?"

"Elder Fang is much the same, completely recovered," Xu Qianwu said with a casual wave of his hand, as if the injuries he had received were of no concern.

"That's a relief!"

Xiao Mu exhaled, his affection for Fang Ying and Xu Qianwu among the Elders of the Great Tang Ruins was, after all, deeper than for the others.

"Why did I hear that as soon as Elder Xu returned, he volunteered to head to Twilight Forest Village in Jialan Domain to investigate the Life and Death Sect? Doesn't Elder Xu realize how dangerous Twilight Forest Village in Jialan Domain can be? Many personnel from the External Affairs Group who were sent to investigate have already been injured or killed."

Quickly, Xiao Mu brought up the news he had just received regarding Xu Qianwu's spontaneous request to investigate Twilight Forest Village.

"Ah!"

Xu Qianwu suddenly let out a heavy sigh, his voice laden with endless emotion.

This unexpected surge of feelings caused Xiao Mu's brows to furrow involuntarily. The Xu Qianwu he knew was not like this; it seemed the Curse Ancestor's curse in the Netherworld Spring had brought about a significant change in his personality.

"Of course, I know how dangerous Twilight Forest Village is."

Waving his hand to indicate Xiao Mu should have tea, Xu Qianwu said with a sigh, "But after this time being cursed by the Curse Ancestor, I've had a bit of an epiphany."

His gaze swept over Xiao Mu, Xu Qianwu's voice filled with emotion, "Xiao Xiao, the battle between our Human World and the foreign realms is too hard. The foreign realms are too strong, while our Human World is too weak."

"Any one of us could encounter a supreme being from beyond at any time and could die at any moment. Today it might be you, and tomorrow it could be me. No one's life is safe; anyone could meet their fate."
