"Please accept this, Leader Chen."

Xiao Mu took another step forward, raising the City God Order and the Yama Seal.

"Bring them here!"

A look of joy that Leader Chen could not hide spread across his face.

"Yes."

Bai Shanjun took the City God Order and the Yama Seal from Xiao Mu's hands, presenting them with both hands to Leader Chen, "Please, Leader, have a look."

Leader Chen, impatient, reached out to grab them, extending both hands at the same time, one grabbing the City God Order, the other the Yama Seal.

However, his complexion changed quickly.

"How can this be? What happened to the divine power inside these seals? Xiao Mu, what did you do to the City God Order and the Yama Seal?"

Leader Chen, puzzled, turned his gaze towards Xiao Mu, his eyes gradually sharpening.

With his power, he could sense something was off with the City God Order and the Yama Seal as soon as he touched them.

The might of both the order and the seal had diminished too much, at least by over ninety percent of their original divine power.

The City God Order was the City God's seal token, and the Yama Seal was the noble lord's seal token; even though this piece of the Yama Seal was only a fragment, its might should not be underestimated.

But now, whether it was the City God Order or the Yama Seal, their might wasn't even comparable to that of an earth deity's seal token, causing Leader Chen to harbor suspicions.

Can I tell you that the divine power of the City God Order and the Yama Seal was absorbed by the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor?

In his heart, Xiao Mu did not want to think of it and pretended to be confused, "Leader Chen, is there a problem with the Yama Seal and the City God Order? They were like this when Thunderbolt Leader gave them to me."

"Impossible!"

Leader Chen rejected the idea outright, "What kind of treasures are the City God Order and the Yama Seal? How could they naturally be like this?"

"Now, the divine power of the two seal tokens is not even comparable to the Mountain God Seal I possess. How can you say they were originally like this?"

Xiao Mu's expression remained unchanged as he calmly said, "Whether you believe it or not, Leader, they were like this when Thunderbolt Leader handed them to me."

"If you're suggesting they were not originally like this, are you saying that it was I who tampered with the City God Order and the Yama Seal? But how could I, a Variant in the Mortal Realm, have the power to tamper with them?"

By the end, a bitter smile appeared on Xiao Mu's face.

Leader Chen was immediately stunned on the spot.

He had indeed suspected that Xiao Mu had tampered with the City God Order and the Yama Seal, but Xiao Mu's words also raised doubts in his mind.

Indeed, Xiao Mu was only a Variant in the Mortal Realm; how could he have the power to damage the City God Order and the Yama Seal and extract their divine power?

Such ability was beyond the reach of Variants in the Mortal Realm, let alone someone like him at the True God level.

Even noble lords of higher levels might not be capable of such a feat.

"Leader, could it be that these two seal tokens are actually fakes?"

Bai Shunjun suddenly spoke up, cautiously and quietly reminding Leader Chen.

Upon hearing this, Leader Chen picked up the seal tokens and examined them closely before shaking his head, "They are not fakes; both seal tokens are genuine. Especially on this City God Order, I can even feel the majestic presence left by City God Xu."

"That's strange!"

Bai Shunjun looked at Xiao Mu with a peculiar expression.

Like Leader Chen, he did not believe Xiao Mu had the ability to damage the City God Order and the Yama Seal.

Leader Chen, holding the seal tokens, pondered for a moment before speaking seriously to Xiao Mu, "I had planned to reward you after you handed over the seal tokens."

"However, there are too many issues with these two seal tokens now. I can't guess what happened to them at the moment, and I don't even know if they are still useful."

"Let's do this, I will study them for a while. Once I find out what the problem is and after refining them, I will decide on your reward based on the situation. What do you think?"

If that's the case, I guess I'll never get that reward.

The divine power within the City God Order and the Yama Seal had been absorbed by the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor, and Xiao Mu did not believe Leader Chen could discover anything from the seal tokens.

If he did find something, that would be ghostly.

Xiao Mu remained unfazed internally, without even a flicker of thought, yet outwardly he agreed, "I will leave the matter to Leader Chen's discretion. As for the reward, I'm actually not very concerned with it."

"Bringing the City God Order and the Yama Seal back to the ruins of Great Tang was also due to Thunderbolt Leader's request before his demise."

"Rather than rewarding me, it would be better to provide for the families of the late Thunderbolt Leader, after all, Leader Lei devoted himself loyally to the Alliance."

Leader Chen's expression softened considerably as he nodded in approval at Xiao Mu, "The fact that you're thinking of Thunderbolt and not taking credit for yourself is indeed rare."

"As for the provisions for Thunderbolt's descendants, you need not worry, the Alliance has already distributed them."

Xiao Mu nodded, appearing relieved, "Knowing that Thunderbolt Leader's descendants have not been neglected, I am at ease."

Leader Chen's expression eased up a little more and after a moment's thought, he said, "Although I cannot reward you right now due to the lack of divine power in the City God Order and the Yama Seal..."

"But as the leader of the Great Tang ruins, in charge of external tasks, I can't shortchange someone who has come to my side voluntarily."

"I heard that the reward for your task this time is a Breaking Reality Pill. After receiving it, you will be able to break through to the True Realm, won't you?"

Xiao Mu nodded in response, "You are correct, Leader. Just by obtaining the Breaking Reality Pill, I can immediately break into the True Realm."

Leader Chen said, "I was going to give you a Breaking Reality Pill, but since you already have one, it saves me the trouble."

Actually, you could give it to me; I wouldn't mind having more.
