Only the True Realm powerhouses who owned a realm had the qualification to receive incense fires.

There's no doubt that Zhou Pudu already owned a realm.

Xiao Mu couldn't tell exactly how high his realm was; maybe it was at the level of a City God, or maybe it was still at the level of an Earth Deity.

In front of Zhou Pudu, Xiao Mu even saw an incense burner.

Although there was no incense in the burner, a faint smoke rose from it, faintly interspersed with prayers, as if mortals were showing their reverence, praying, and worshipping.

Xiao Mu's heart grew cold.

He wasn't quite sure what the advantages of enjoying incense fires were, but undeniably, the benefits must be substantial - otherwise, someone as powerful as Zhou Pudu wouldn't bother with it.

"Xiao Mu, hand over the City God Order and the Yama Seal to the Second Leader now!"

Lu Fang suddenly shouted at Xiao Mu.

Zhou Pudu sat with his eyes closed on the altar table. He didn't speak to Xiao Mu. However, the divine pressure he was subtly releasing made Xiao Mu feel like his soul was leaving his body.

The Chaotic True Seed Shock was surging, the Chaos-like Power circulated throughout his body. Xiao Mu gathered his thoughts, trying hard to stabilize his spirit, and calmly asked, "Mr. Lu, where did you hear that I have the City God Order and the Yama Seal?"

Before deciding to see Zhou Pudu, Xiao Mu had already made preparations, guessing that he might be questioned about the City God Order and the Yama Seal.

After all, the City God Order involved the realm of City God Xu, and the Yama Seal was connected to a realm of even a higher-ups than City God Xu.

Any powerhouse in the Divine Spirit Realm would likely want to obtain either of these realms.

Before he came to see Zhou Pudu, Xiao Mu had actually considered whether to surrender the City God Order and Yama Seal.

After all, the City God Order and the Yama Seal were both crucial. Keeping them without control was like holding two uncontrolled bombs that could explode at any moment and hurt him.

If handed to Zhou Pudu, he could not only pledge his loyalty successfully but also earn his trust and protection.

In fact, if Zhou Pudu had been diplomatic upon meeting and told Xiao Mu that both items were important to him, and as long as Xiao Mu handed them over, he would provide protection and cultivation resources etc.

Xiao Mu is not a jerk; he might actually have given the items.

However, Zhou Pudu and Lu Fang showed ill intentions from the start. They clearly did not see Xiao Mu as one of them, so Xiao Mu instantly abandoned the idea of handing over the City God Order and the Yama Seal.

Even if Xiao Mu really intended to surrender the City God Order and Yama Seal, after this experience, he would never give them to Zhou Pudu.

The divine pressure on Zhou Pudu suddenly increased, and it oppressed Xiao Mu.

Xiao Mu's body sank as if a Great Mountain was on his back, almost pressing him to the ground.

Lu Fang shouted again, his face showing anger, "Xiao Mu, you are audacious! Dare you hide the City God Order and the Yama Seal? This is a capital crime!"

Xiao Mu remained calm and argued, "Mr. Lu, you are really wronging me. Did Jiang Mu or Jin Fang spread this information?"

Lu Fang retorted angrily, "It doesn't matter who spread it, you were the last one to escape from the Hidden Mansion of City God Xu, who else would Leader Lei entrust the City God Order and Yama Seal if not you?"

Xiao Mu replied, "Mr. Lu really wronged me. What kind of person am I? And what's my relationship with Leader Lei? Would he give something so important to me?"

"Moreover, if Leader Lei did give me such important things, would the Undying Evil Ancestor let me escape alive?"

Lu Fang's gaze froze, and two golden lights shot out from his eyes and hit Xiao Mu again.

Xiao Mu felt like being shot by an arrow, yet he forced himself to endure the pain without showing any signs of discomfort.

Believe that I will give you my treasures with this attitude? Keep dreaming!

He suppressed his thoughts, not thinking, not contemplating, so as not to be detected.

After staring at Xiao Mu for more than a minute, and after hurting Xiao Mu with his sharp gaze for more than a minute, Lu Fang finally barked, "Xiao Mu, the City God Order and the Yama Seal are not for you to use. If you dare to hide and not hand them over, it will be a capital crime!"

There was an obvious threat in Lu Fang's tone, and his voice carried a True Force, directly affecting the spirit, causing fear.

Luckily Xiao Mu had cultivated with Chaos-like Power, whose foundation was strong, and his spirit was firm. He wasn't that affected and responded calmly, "If Mr. Lu doesn't believe me, he can search me. If he really finds the City God Order and Yama Seal, I will accept my punishment willingly."

Xiao Mu was confident; he didn't think that they would be able to find the City God Order and the Yama Seal on his body.

The City God Order and Yama Seal had been put into the Earth Seal Space, which was then merged into the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor.

The Seal of the Heavenly Emperor was Xiao Mu's Treasure. After being placed in the Earth Seal Space, it could not be felt by anyone except him.

Lu Fang paused; he hadn't expected Xiao Mu to answer this way. He subconsciously looked over at Zhou Pudu, who was sitting on the altar table, asking Zhou Pudu for guidance.

Zhou Pudu sat still, but subtly relayed his thoughts to Lu Fang.

Lu Fang approached Xiao Mu and commanded, "Raise your hands!"

Xiao Mu calmly lifted his hands.

Lu Fang searched Xiao Mu and eventually found five or six Storage Boxes on his body.

These boxes were intentionally taken out from the Earth Seal Space and kept on him by Xiao Mu.

He opened them one by one. Inside the boxes, besides some ordinary treasures, the most common items were Energy Fruits.

But whether it was Zhou Pudu or Lu Fang, neither of them cared about these items.

"Xiao Mu, do you realize that it is a capital crime to hide the City God Order and Yama Seal knowingly? I urge you to hand them over sooner rather than later."
