Xiao Mu's lips suddenly revealed a touch of indifferent smile.

This smile made Chen Ming feel inexplicably chilled in his heart.

At that moment, a resonant hum sounded from Xiao Mu's body.

A cluster of golden glow suddenly appeared above Chen Ming's head, a golden square giant seal appeared, manifesting itself with the supreme will of the Heavenly Emperor.

Then, an Order Edict flew from within the golden giant seal, directly lowering, covering the Domain Suppression Platform inside Chen Ming's True God Realm.

Poof!

The Great Decree fell upon the Domain Suppression Platform, and the brilliance of the power of retribution on the platform suddenly dimmed, the entire power of the Domain Suppression Platform was sealed by the Great Decree.

Then, the Ruyi Spiritual Light flying from the Domain Suppression Platform hadn't yet merged into the gray-black greatsword when it disappeared mid-air.

Boom! Bang!

The gray-black greatsword of Chen Ming at this moment finally collided mid-air with Xiao Mu's unified Yama Hammer.

The power of the gray-black greatsword clearly was no match for Xiao Mu's unified Yama Hammer. Under one strike of the Yama Hammer, it directly shattered and vanished into pieces.

Xiao Mu, seizing the opportunity, directly reached out and grabbed the Yama Hammer, wielding it fiercely towards Chen Ming's True God Realm.

The Yama Hammer that just shattered the gray-black greatsword vertically descended, a flash of golden light, amidst a booming sound, it directly struck within Chen Ming's True God Realm.

Boom!

Violent power soared into the sky, Xiao Mu's authority of the Divine Monarch exploded directly inside Chen Ming's True God Realm.

Thus, internally within the True God Realm, the power of retribution of the Divine Monarch was directly detonated, and Chen Ming's True God Realm collapsed on the spot.

"You... you..."

Chen Ming's eyes widened, staring at Xiao Mu, unwilling to believe, "Shameless... stealth attack!"

Unable to finish the sentence, Chen Ming's corpse from the shattered True God Realm fell directly from the cloud mist.

Xiao Mu, watching the corpse of Chen Ming fall, exhaled a breath of relief, yet his body couldn't help but shake violently, causing the Five Elements cloud beneath his feet to flutter with signs of dispersal.

Fortunately, Xiao Mu quickly regrouped his power of authority to stabilize the Five Elements cloud, steadying his body.

Indeed, he had stealthily attacked, even borrowing the power of the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor and the Great Decree, as well as the force of the earth beneath his feet, to blind Chen Ming's perception in advance, causing Chen Ming to neglect his intent, successfully achieving a strike, and killing Chen Ming after successfully sealing his Domain Suppression Platform.

Otherwise, in a direct confrontation, Xiao Mu might not be as Chen Ming imagined, not his opponent, but wanting to kill Chen Ming wouldn't be nearly so easy.

A usual True God in the mid-stage is indeed far stronger than one in the early stage, that disparity in authority is not something ordinary means can bridge.

With Chen Ming dead, the retribution cloud he placed around Xiao Mu to block the cloud road also rapidly scattered.

Xiao Mu, riding upon the Five Elements cloud, immediately flew towards the Ancient God Village.

He had just started to fly when the Telepathic Talisman lit up again.

Xiao Mu, taking out the Telepathic Talisman, vaguely sensed an unfavorable outcome, pressing it with a solemn expression.

He Jin's anxious voice came through the Telepathic Talisman again, "Xiao Grand Elder, someone was killed again, it's Zhu Lin, in our village, a peak Mortal Realm Variant named Zhu Lin was also killed by the Heavenly Court."

Someone was killed again!

Flying Xiao Mu's face quickly turned grim, his heart becoming anxious.

Yet soon, he realized something, "Zhu Lin, you said Zhu Lin? Just now, Zhu Yuan was killed, previously, I recall two other people surnamed Zhu were killed, is everyone in your village surnamed Zhu?"

"All? No, Xiao Grand Elder, there are also others with different surnames in our village, for example, I am surnamed He. Even among those killed, there are outsiders, besides five with the surname Zhu, there were also two surnamed Chen." He Jin hastily explained, answering Xiao Mu's question.

"There's something wrong, too many of those killed have the surname Zhu, your village is called Ancient God Village, the Ancient Divine Being Zhu Qianhao is your ancestor."

As Xiao Mu navigated the cloud towards the Ancient God Village, he voiced his speculation, "Perhaps the Heavenly Court is killing your people related to the Ancient Divine Being Zhu Qianhao, intending to find Zhu Qianhao's bloodline and the location of his grave and open it. Check if those two with the surname Chen have any connections to the Zhu Family."

"This... this..."

He Jin's voice suddenly trembled, seemingly realizing something, "Xiao... Xiao Grand Elder, those two with the surname Chen were originally part of the Zhu Family, only... only during their grandfather's generation, they were adopted to another family. I heard this from my grandfather, I also have memories."

"Trouble!"

Xiao Mu's heart sank, shouting into the Telepathic Talisman, "Go take a look, no, better not go yourself, let Zhu Jie, Zhu Jie go and check Zhu Qianhao's grave."

"Grave?"

He Jin had just agreed when the Telepathic Talisman suddenly emitted a sky-shattering rumble.

Not only that, despite the distance between Xiao Mu and the Ancient God Village, he heard the sky-shattering rumble and even saw, looking towards the Ancient God Village's direction, clusters of gray-black brilliance soaring into the sky.

Among the gray-black brilliance, a vivid purple hue couldn't be suppressed.

Xiao Mu, seeing the gray-black brilliance and the vivid purple hue, felt a sudden violent shock internally.

Chaos Power! Hongmeng Power!

These two supreme powers unexpectedly appeared simultaneously in the Ancient God Village.

Zhu Qianhao's grave has been opened, the Heavenly Court's purpose evidently relates to Zhu Qianhao's grave.

And with Zhu Qianhao's grave opened, the Chaos Power and Hongmeng Power used to seal the grave were also released.

"Xiao... Xiao Grand Elder, not... something has happened, the ancestral grave... the ancestral grave has been opened!"

He Jin's trembling voice emerged from the Telepathic Talisman, unable to conceal the quaver.

"I'm returning immediately, all of you, stay in the village, refrain from interfering with the Heavenly Court." Xiao Mu ordered He Jin via the Telepathic Talisman.

Since the Heavenly Court's goal is to open Zhu Qianhao's grave, now that Zhu Qianhao's grave is open, they likely won't engage in wanton slaughter of the Ancient God Village's people.

But should the villagers deliberately rush to their deaths, then it's another matter entirely. The Heavenly Court's members likely wouldn't mind killing off these weaker villagers casually.

He Jin, voice quaking, promised not to go outside.

Xiao Mu propelled himself at maximum speed, carrying Lin Ping, stepping on the Five Elements cloud, dashing towards the Ancient God Village.

High above, three clusters of cloud mist suddenly descended.

Each of the three different clouds harbored distinct authoritative powers, representing the authority of retribution, the authority of reincarnation, and the authority of reincarnation.

Indeed, one power of the Divine Monarch of Retribution, two powers of the Divine Monarch of Reincarnation, each riding a retribution cloud and a reincarnation cloud, directly descended towards this side of the Everlasting Domain.

Xiao Mu's face changed upon witnessing the scene.

Despite the distance still separating him from the three clusters of cloud mist, he recognized the identities of the three individuals concealed behind the clouds from the familiar power emitted.

These three were precisely the ones he escaped from last time: Meng Xuantong, Yu Tong, Mo Lian.

"Xiao... Xiao Grand Elder, I... I have important information to report, I hope... hope Xiao Grand Elder, because of this information, will forgive my sins!"

Lin Ping, whom Xiao Mu carried, suddenly spoke, trembling as he addressed Xiao Mu.

He, like Xiao Mu, had seen the three cloud clusters descending from above.

"Speak!"

Xiao Mu commanded Lin Ping concisely.

Despite Lin Ping's grave sins, listening to his information wouldn't hurt.

"Xiao Grand Elder, it was Chen Ming, Chen Ming ordered me to leak your information to the Heavenly Court, intending to kill you using a borrowed blade, through the hand of the Heavenly Court."

Lin Ping quickly reported what he knew to Xiao Mu, then swiftly summarized Chen Ming's plan, "These three clusters of rosy clouds, the Heavenly Court's powerful beings surely came because they knew you were in the Ancient God Village. Grand Elder Xiao, the plan was orchestrated by Chen Ming to leak the information to the Heavenly Court, it has nothing to do with me, please blame Chen Ming instead."
