Lightning-like Golden Light appeared beneath a young man in a black jacket and blue jeans, streaking towards the deep mountains.

A grey-white blade-shaped object, formed solely from the Power of Life and Death, suddenly materialized in mid-air in front of the young man who was performing the Earth Escape Technique.

Crack!

The grey-white blade of Life and Death descended like a steel sword, vertically striking at the man, intertwining the Two Forces of Life and Death, forming floating Life-Death Spheres in the air.

"I knew you'd be ambushing here!"

The young man seemed to have anticipated this and abruptly halted his fleeing figure, shoulders trembling as a Five-Color Light Spectrum rose from behind him, forming a huge rainbow-shaped Five Elements Divine Sword spanning several zhang in length and several meters in width.

"Whoosh!"

The Five Elements Divine Sword flashed like flowing light, splitting a huge grey stone in front, blood flowing out as the split corpse of a young-looking man with a goatee beard fell to both sides.

"You think you can kill me?"

Despite being bisected, the goatee-bearded man did not die. Both halves of his mouth spoke at once, and soon, grey and white light shone from within the two halves of his body. Two hands reached out, intertwining and pulling each half together, fusing the two halves back into one.

The intertwined power of life and death surged, and the goatee-bearded man's wounds rapidly healed.

"The Life and Death Sect's healing abilities are indeed strong, but knowing how resilient you are, you think I wouldn't come prepared?"

The young man in the black jacket revealed a sneer, stretching out his right hand as a treasure flew out from his hand.

The treasure swiftly enlarged, with Death Qi and murderous intent simultaneously overflowing.

This was a Divine Executioner's Frame, a gallows soaked in curse-powered black blood, emitting intense murderous aura.

"Divine Executioner's Frame!"

Seeing the appearance of the gallows, the goatee-bearded man's complexion drastically changed. In panic, he leaped and used the Earth Escape Technique, turning to flee.

"With your strength, seeing the Divine Executioner's Frame and still thinking of escaping?"

The young man in the black jacket pointed at the gallows, and ropes imbued with Curse Power from the gallows extended like snakes towards the goatee-bearded man, swiftly wrapping around his neck the next moment.

Immediately, the rope tightened, hanging the goatee-bearded man on the gallows, the rope constricting to claim his life.

Struggling unwillingly, the goatee-bearded man grasped at the rope around his neck, his legs kicking wildly, his body erupting with Life Force, attempting to replenish his vitality but obstructed by the Curse Power released from the gallows, his legs momentarily kicking before his body stiffened.

"As expected of the Divine Executioner's Frame, these treasures crafted by Artifact Refiners are truly magnificent. Otherwise, it would not have been easy to kill a Mutated Being from the Life and Death Sect with bare hands."

Seeing the death of the goatee-bearded man, the young man in the black jacket visibly relaxed, blew towards the Divine Executioner's Frame, and with a shake, the goatee-bearded man's body fell off, following by the frame shrinking.

The young man in the black jacket bent down to pick up the Divine Executioner's Frame, but just as he stretched out his hand, he noticed the goatee-bearded man's eyelids suddenly twitch, followed by his eyes opening wide.

"You…"

The young man in the black jacket was startled, golden light burst forth from the soles of his feet, and he started the Earth Escape Technique, intending to retreat.

The ground split open, and an image of a Land God pressed down directly, vaguely visible above with the Life Force surging upward and a black temple appearing indistinctly behind the deity's image.

Boom!

The Land God's image smashed down like a Huge Mountain onto the young man in the black jacket, Death Force overflowing, instantly disintegrating the body into a pool of black blood.

A Five-color Escape Light approached from afar and stopped in the Great Courtyard of the Great Tang Ruins's Logistics Department.

"Welcome Elder Qu, welcome! Elder Qu, this way, please!"

A man from the Yin God Realm walked forward, immediately recognizing the elder who appeared from the escape light as Qu Jingyu from the Ruins of the Shang Dynasty.

"Thank you!"

Qu Jingyu expressed his thanks and was led into a hall by the Yin God Realm man.

"Elder Qu has arrived!"

"Haha! It's old Qu, long time no see!"

"Old Qu, you were invited too? You didn't even tell me in advance, otherwise we could have come together!"

As Qu Jingyu entered the hall, several Mutant Beings stood up to greet him.

Surprised, Qu Jingyu quickly recognized these Mutant Beings and hurriedly greeted them with cupped hands, "Greetings Elder Qin! Elder Wang, long time no see! Elder Chen, you're here too!"

The three elders addressed by Qu Jingyu were Elder Qin Wu from the Great Xia Realm, Elder Wang Yu from the headquarters, and Elder Chen Fushi from the Ruins of the Shang Dynasty.

"Elder Qu, please have a seat!"

The Yin God Realm man guiding Qu Jingyu called him to sit and then immediately went out to welcome other guests.

"Old Qin, Old Chen, Old Wang, I didn't expect you all were invited too. The Great Tang Ruins really invited a lot of people. Initially, Elder Zhu Yun from our Ruins of the Shang Dynasty was invited too, but later, hearing that his realm was too high, already in the Late-stage Realm of the Divine Spirits and about to reach the Peak, the inviters from the Great Tang Ruins changed their minds."

Upon sitting down, Qu Jingyu began to share a lot of information with everyone.

Wang Yu from the headquarters took over the conversation, "This time, the Great Tang Ruins intend to invite only mid-stage Divine Spirits, as they are afraid of scaring off the Life and Death Sect's Mutant Beings, leading to mission failure."
