Before long, everyone had finished tidying up, arranging the corpses of the human world's divine spirits, and burying them respectively.

The bodies of the Life and Death Sect's mutated beings were all gathered and burned together.

Among the deceased's belongings, there weren't many treasures, but quite a number of Energy Fruits were obtained, about over ten thousand.

"Each of you, take fifteen hundred. The rest are mine."

Lei was dividing the Energy Fruits, not exclusively claiming them despite his far superior strength.

Xiao Mu placed the fifteen hundred Energy Fruits he received into the Earth Seal Space.

With another four thousand, he should be able to nearly reach the Peak Perfected Fifth Realm and qualify to challenge the True Realm.

Moving forward, they entered a grand hall after passing through a massive square.

This grand hall was City God Xu's Daoist Temple, with his portrait and an incense burner for offerings placed in the middle.

The purpose of the Daoist Temple was to present the divine portraits in the mortal world, corresponding to the divine portraits in the world's temples, allowing the divine spirits to receive the incense fire from the mortal realm.

The incense fire could enhance the power of divine spirits.

An intense battle had once taken place in this grand hall, the entire hall was hammered and collapsed by brute force, the walls reduced to rubble, and City God Xu's portrait, the incense burner, and the altar table itself were all smashed into fragments.

The shattering of the divine portrait undoubtedly had a profound connection with City God Xu, such that blood was flowing out from the broken portrait.

Traces of the great war remained, with splattered blood spread all over, staining the entire grand hall in crimson.

This was the blood of divine spirits, its color wouldn't fade even after thousands of years, giving off an intense smell of blood after all the time it had endured.

Everyone felt an inexplicable sadness in their hearts, barely holding back their tears.

The fall of a divine spirit could bring sorrow to the world.

A body with full white hair sat fallen at the exit behind the grand hall, dead from having its head smashed like a watermelon.

The dead old body emitted an intense dual forces of Life and Death, undoubtedly a powerhouse of the Life and Death Sect.

This was a mutated being of the Divine Spirit Realm, belonging to the Second Stage of True Realm, with boundless formidable power.

Unfortunately, its head was smashed to death like a watermelon, bitterly unspeakable.

Moreover, despite being a powerhouse of the Life and Death Sect, he was unable to resurrect, the powerful being who killed him was unimaginably formidable.

The shattered head of the old body still possessed an undissipating Nether Power, indicating that the killer had used Nether Power.

"So strong!"

Gazing at the old man's head smashed like a broken watermelon, Lei exclaimed, "This powerful member of the Life and Death Sect must have been killed by a Netherworld Divine Technique. It seems that besides controlling the Life and Death Record, City God Xu's own divine techniques were equally powerful."

Xiao Mu was speechless.

Indeed, the strength of City God Xu was unimaginably powerful. On top of using the Life and Death Record to kill so many and withstand backlash, he could still use his divine techniques to kill a powerful being at the Second Stage of the True Realm from the Life and Death Sect.

Next to the corpse, a bell-shaped treasure emitting dual forces of Life and Death was found.

This was a magic treasure related to the dual forces of Life and Death but was broken into four parts, having lost its power.

As they continued to walk inside, they saw two bodies seated opposite each other.

Shh!

On first sight of these two bodies, everyone couldn't help but inhale sharply.

The dress of the two bodies was similar, the style almost identical. They both wore black headscarves, donned fish-patterned purple and gold robes, and had a red gold belt with a city pattern tied around their waists.

This was the standard attire of the City Gods. These two bodies were undoubtedly City Gods.

The one facing everyone seemed to be in his forties, with a dark complexion, firm expression, a foot-long black beard on his chin, formidable without anger, no doubt the City God Xu of the ancient Song relics they had been searching for.

The other was a young man, with a clean and handsome appearance, looking around twenty years old.

"City God Xu."

Lei took a deep breath, "So City God Xu is here."

"Who is this person? Which City God is he, and why did he fight with City God Xu?"

Everyone was puzzled, unsure of the background of this young City God, why he fought with City God Xu, and ultimately died together.

Soon, everyone's attention shifted behind City God Xu.

Behind City God Xu was a long and gloomy black passage, temporarily unknown where it led to.

But judging from City God Xu's sitting position, undoubtedly, City God Xu had been blocking the entrance to this passage before his death, preventing his enemies, including the young City God in front of him, from entering the gloomy passage.

What was City God Xu doing?

Judging from his barricade of the passage, resisting his enemies, and not retreating before death, he was undoubtedly protecting this passage.

What is behind the passage?

Or where does this passage lead to?

Xiao Mu was full of confusion.

He stared at the passage behind City God Xu.

In the passage, he could see two blood footprints.

The person who left these footprints was undoubtedly seriously injured, causing loss of control of their strength. Each step they took caused the force emanated to leave broken deep footprints on the stone ground.

Seeing the blood in the footprints suddenly made Xiao Mu feel a sense of familiarity.

"Was City God Xu covering for someone to escape?"

Jin Fang broke the silence and ventured a guess.

The bizarre events couldn't help but make him speak out.

"Maybe."

Lei calmly followed, his eyes distant and profound, with the Power of Supreme Yang shooting from his eyes, forming two odd rays of brilliance, sweeping through the dark passage.

Indeed, as a Peak First Stage True Realm powerhouse, Lei's sight is far superior to that of an average person.
