Boom!

As soon as Xiao Mu entered the Great Array, a thunderous roar akin to the heavens splitting apart erupted from the sky, as if a realm was being cleaved open.

The already gloomy sky became even darker; above Xiao Mu's head, a ghastly, enormous city seemed to descend from the heavens, suppressing him from above.

Hiss hiss hiss!

Sounds of piercing through the air, dense like raindrops, rang out as countless swords suddenly appeared in the sky. The swords illuminated the world, sweeping horizontally and slashing vertically. The air around was sliced to pieces, creating vacuums near Xiao Mu.

With a thought, the City God Effigy radiated brilliance. Golden authority descended from the skies, covering his body as if he donned a layer of Golden Xia Clothes.

Hiss hiss hiss! Bang bang bang!

Dense sword energies continuously struck Xiao Mu but were all blocked by the golden authority, unable to injure Xiao Mu's body.

"Suppress him!"

An angry voice suddenly arose from the depths of the Great Array, provoked by the inability to harm Xiao Mu.

Following this shout, indeed, a ghastly, terrifying city made entirely of sword energy bore down from the sky. Accompanied by even denser sword energies slashing from all directions, it aimed to obliterate everything.

Bang!

Xiao Mu stretched out his hand and pointed to the sky. The City God Effigy burst forth with dazzling Golden Light, and above his head, the Tai Chi Diagram of Tianyuan faintly circulated, conjuring two colossal hands that held the ghastly city aloft, preventing it from falling.

Subsequently, the Changeable Divine Technique was deployed upon the City God Effigy's body. Third and fourth hands grew from either side of the City God Effigy, each seizing the Book of Life and Death and the Judge Pen.

Spurt!

A red, huge painting, emitting Golden Light, suddenly flew out from the Great Array, fiercely wrapping around Xiao Mu's body.

Woo woo woo!

The Golden Light released by the huge red painting suddenly exploded, the aftermath's stunning brilliance could blind one's eyes. Amidst the protective explosion of golden light, a Golden Armor deity wielding a silver mace swung the heavy silver mace, producing a swath of Silver Light that struck towards Xiao Mu's head.

Door-God, Door-God Painting!

The emergence of the huge red painting immediately made Xiao Mu think of the Door-God and the Door-God Painting. However, Door-Gods were not considered strong among Yin Gods and certainly posed no threat to him.

Xiao Mu waved his left hand, and the phantom Book of Life and Death blocked in front of him.

Spurt!

The heavy silver mace struck the Book of Life and Death, immediately triggering an intense release of Death Qi from within. This Death Qi spread out and in the blink of an eye, completely enveloped the heavy silver mace from inside out.

Silver gray fell, and the heavy silver mace turned to ash on the spot.

But the confrontation wasn't over. Xiao Mu waved his right hand, and the Judge Pen swiftly stroked across the Door-God Painting.

Rip!

The Door-God Painting shattered, turning into flying scraps of paper under the sweeps of the Judge Pen.

"Ah~"

A blood-curdling scream echoed from the depths of the Great Array. The destruction of the Door-God Painting injured its backing deity.

Xiao Mu suddenly looked towards the depth of the Great Array. A third hand materialized from his forehead, pointing in the direction from where the blood-curdling scream emanated. The Ghost Servant's figure flashed, and a beam of Spiritual Light penetrated deep into the Great Array.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Xiao Mu seized the opportunity to break the Array. The City God Effigy's hands, holding the Judge Pen and the Book of Life and Death, pounded violently against the ghastly city.

The city trembled; its constituent sword energies were scattered by the Judge Pen and the Book of Life and Death, dissipating at an astonishing speed, and the city began to shrink.

"Bang! Boom!"

"Ah~, who are you?"

"HOHO!"

Sounds of combat, treasure impacts, power clashes, the Array controller's curses, and the Ghost Servant's strange laugh came from the depths of the Array.

Xiao Mu hastened the breaking of the Array, the Judge Pen in the City God Effigy's hand enlarging before slashing down from above upon the ghastly city.

Crack!

The city split open, cleaved in two by the Judge Pen, as if sundered by the Sky Sword.

The colossal Book of Life and Death descended from the skies, repeatedly and forcefully striking the city bisected by the Judge Pen.

Amidst the tumultuous sounds, the city finally dissipated, leaving shattered sword energies everywhere in the sky.

"HOHO!"

"Stop, you're not human, what kind of ghost are you?"

The Ghost Servant's strange laughter resounded again from the depths of the Great Array, accompanied by the Array controller's shocked and angry shouts, but the battle came to a complete end.

Spiritual Light lit up from the depths of the Great Array, silently approaching Xiao Mu.

"Master, I have captured the person."

The Spiritual Light faded, and the Ghost Servant appeared, casually throwing a man to the ground.

This man appeared to be in his fifties, covered in bloodstains, looking extremely wretched.

"Search the area to see if you can find these two individuals."

Xiao Mu used his power to create the likeness of Li Gujian and Lan Yan.

"Understood!"

Amid the Ghost Servant's compliance, it transformed into Spiritual Light and disappeared, searching deeper into the courtyard.

"A human of the Human world? Who are you?"

Xiao Mu's gaze settled on the fifty-something man, suddenly furrowing his brows. From the man's aura, he recognized at a glance that he was a human of the Human world.

Moreover, the man's Realm was at the Early Divine Spirit Realm, and his position was the same as the Door-God post he had experienced a short while ago.

"Hehe!"

The man gave a cold laugh, a look of extreme contempt appearing on his face, seemingly utterly disdainful to answer Xiao Mu's question, "The Ancestor of Life and Death will soon return to the Human world, and the Heavenly Court will soon be able to preside over this land!"

"So, you're the scum who betrayed the Human world. It appears that asking you questions is utterly pointless."

Xiao Mu sighed regretfully.

He had seen a few who had betrayed the Human world and joined the Heavenly Court, but they were not many.
