"With Daoist Wu De's strength, dealing with Meng Xuantong shouldn't be a problem. I entrust everything to you, Daoist!"

Zhou Xuanmen cupped his hands together and let out a sigh of relief.

Wu De, a Divine Monarch from ancient times notorious for his ferocity, could only be subdued by the Lord of White Mansion. Even though being sealed for too long had diminished his strength, since he himself claimed to have the capability to handle Meng Xuantong, there should not be much of an issue.

"Where is Xiao Mu? Why is the lad not in sight?"

The Divine Monarch Wu De's tone shifted, and a smile emerged on his face, laced with a hint of reprimand, "Knowing full well that I'm coming, how dare this lad not show up to meet me?"

"It's my oversight, I will send someone to invite him immediately."

Zhou Xuanmen then realized that Divine Monarch Wu De and Xiao Mu had a good relationship, and that his aid to the Human world was also because of Xiao Mu.

In other words, the old man came to help not because of himself, but for Xiao Mu.

Now that Wu De was here and Xiao Mu did not show up to host him, it was inappropriate both emotionally and logically.

He quickly called for a Guard to summon Xiao Mu.

Before long, the Guard returned, not with Xiao Mu, but with Zhao Qian instead.

The Guard reported, "Grand Elder, Xiao Mu has gone missing. According to this individual, Xiao Mu left half a day ago to explore a world that does not exist."

"A world that doesn't exist?"

Zhou Xuanmen was shocked, turning to Zhao Qian, "Who are you? What has happened to Xiao Mu? With the Great War imminent, why does he suddenly need to explore some nonexistent world?"

The Divine Monarch Wu De's attention was drawn as well, turning his head to gaze at Zhao Qian.

With his extensive experiences, he knew that the so-called nonexistent world was actually distorted by some powerful force and was not truly nonexistent.

Zhao Qian knew Zhou Xuanmen; he was a research enthusiast, not an idiot. He quickly performed a cupped fist salute, "Zhao Qian from the Great Tang Ruins pays his respects to Grand Elder Zhou."

"A person from the Great Tang Ruins."

Zhou Xuanmen's expression softened slightly, "Tell me, why go to explore a nonexistent world?"

"The world Xiao Mu explored is actually..."

Following this, Zhao Qian laid out the plan he had with Xiao Mu, detailing the situation of the so-called nonexistent world.

So that's how it is. No wonder there were issues at the Three Emperors' Tomb, the passage collapsing abruptly; it was this guy and Xiao Mu who made another pathway.

That means, was the disrupted plan at the Three Emperors' Tomb also this guy's doing?

Zhou Xuanmen was instantly furious, pointing a finger at Zhao Qian, "You, Zhao Qian, is it? How audacious of you! Guards, seize him!"

Several Mutated Beings from the Human world rushed in to capture Zhao Qian. Treasures such as the God Imprisoning Shackles and the God-binding Rope flew out, four or five pieces in total, promptly entangling Zhao Qian tightly.

Zhao Qian was completely puzzled, clueless as to why Zhou Xuanmen would suddenly erupt in anger. Caught off guard, he was apprehended by the God Imprisoning Shackles and other treasures.

Zhao Qian, bound tightly all over, struggled in vain, becoming panic-stricken, "Grand Elder Zhou, please clarify! Zhao Qian has done no wrong, why take me? Even if you are the Grand Elder, you cannot simply seize people, otherwise I will surely report this to the Headquarters. What's wrong with the Grand Elder? You cannot bully people at will!"

"Bully people?"

Zhou Xuanmen was extremely angry, scolded, "Do you realize, Zhao Qian, where you sent Xiao Mu? That's the Sealed Land of the Ancestor of Five Elements. The Five Elements Sect dispatched a large number of men at the same time Xiao Mu was sent in."

"The plan at the Three Emperors' Tomb has been sabotaged, Lv Liangping and others couldn't enter. Now, Xiao Mu has to face the entire Five Elements Sect alone."

"Do you know that Xiao Mu is a wanted criminal by the Heavenly Court, a Mutated Being the entire Heavenly Court wants to capture?"

"Regardless if it was unintentional or deliberate, by sending Xiao Mu into the Sealed Land, you've sent him to his death."

"That... that nonexistent world is the Sealed Land of the Ancestor of the Five Elements?"

Zhao Qian was stunned.

At the Three Emperors' Tomb, the imminent emergence of the Ancestor of the Five Elements from the Heavenly Emperor Domain, and the all-out resistance of the whole tomb's cast, with Headquarters also sending reinforcements, he knew of these events.

Yet, he never expected that his inadvertent act not only disrupted the plan at the Three Emperors' Tomb but also led Xiao Mu into the Sealed Land of the Ancestor of the Five Elements.

Zhou Xuanmen, fuming with disdain at Zhao Qian, "I don't care whether you genuinely didn't know or pretended not to know. If Xiao Mu dies, you will atone for him!"

"Grand Elder Zhou, this is a misunderstanding! I truly didn't know that the nonexistent world is the Sealed Land of the Ancestor of the Five Elements. If I had known, I would have never allowed Xiao Mu to go."

Zhao Qian urgently defended himself.

He truly didn't know, as he said, if he knew that the nonexistent world was the Sealed Land of the Ancestor of the Five Elements, he wouldn't have let Xiao Mu go even if he had ten times the courage.

"Take him away, lock him up!"

Zhou Xuanmen waved his hand, instructing the Guards, then said to Zhao Qian, "Zhao Qian, you'd better pray Xiao Mu is alright. If Xiao Mu is dead, I will kill you to appease his spirit."

What's this all about? How important is Xiao Mu and who are you; don't you have any sense of this? The Great War is upon us, and by sending Xiao Mu into the Sealed Land of the Ancestor of Five Elements, you're not just harming Xiao Mu, but the entire Human world.

Zhou Xuanmen was truly enraged. Before the Great War, not only did an unexpected twist occur, but his own side also lost a valuable general—all thanks to Zhao Qian, whose death would be insignificant.

"Let's go! Clang!"

The cries of scolding and the sounds of chains dragging reverberated as the guards pushed and shoved Zhao Qian, ready to take him out of Zhou Xuanmen's room.

The Divine Monarch Wu De's eyes occasionally flashed with an angry light. In the Human world Camp, his best relationship was with Xiao Mu, so one can only imagine his inner fury upon hearing this minor Daoist fellow had sent Xiao Mu into the Sealed Land of the Ancestor of the Five Elements.

Given his temperament, had it not been for being in the Human world Camp, he would have likely lost his patience by now and slapped Zhao Qian to death already.
