"Old Xiao, this is the place I was talking about," Du Wenzhen suddenly looked towards Xiao Mu.

Xiao Mu nodded slightly and opened his spiritual eyes. The power of the Five Elements surged within his eyes as he peered into the depths of the pit.

A vast amount of Death Qi filled the depths of the pit, turning into a grey mist that blocked Xiao Mu's vision, but a familiar feeling welled up inside him.

This pit gave him the same feeling as the Netherworld Passage beneath Cuiyun Mountain. It seemed as though there was a peculiar connection between the two.

Beyond that, deep within the pit, Xiao Mu faintly sensed a trace of Curse Power.

Could it be someone from the Curse Gate?

A thought crossed Xiao Mu's mind.

Du Wenzhen had mentioned that there had been people from the Curse Gate here before; it seemed likely to be true.

However, he couldn't let his guard down in case there were people from the Curse Gate below.

Trying to emulate Xiao Mu, Du Wenzhen also looked into the depths of the pit but quickly gave up and turned to Xiao Mu, "I forgot you have the Five Elements Lamp. Old Xiao, did you find anything?"

Xiao Mu replied, "Below us might be the mansion of a Land God, and the people from the Curse Gate might have already entered. We need to be cautious."

"People from the Curse Gate?" Du Wenzhen frowned, then he dismissively said, "Nothing to be afraid of when it comes to people from the Curse Gate."

Xiao Mu could see right through him; if he wasn't worried, he wouldn't be talking like that. "You go in first."

"Why am I going in first again? Old Xiao, you are stronger than me, so you should go first," Du Wenzhen complained.

Xiao Mu answered, "It's precisely because I'm stronger than you that you should go first. If someone from the Curse Gate attacks you, I can rescue you. If it were the other way round, could you rescue me?"

Not convinced, Du Wenzhen retorted, "Why wouldn't I be able to rescue you? You talk as if you're so much stronger than me. If it weren't for the Five Elements Lamp, in one-on-one combat, I might not lose to you."

"So, are you saying you want to try fighting me?" Xiao Mu looked at Du Wenzhen with a half-smiling gaze.

"Forget I said anything," Du Wenzhen immediately backed down, "I'll go in first. Just remember to rescue me if I encounter any danger."

After receiving a firm response from Xiao Mu, Du Wenzhen transformed into a flash of yellow light and used the Earth Escape Technique to enter the pit.

Xiao Mu followed closely behind.

The two kept falling downwards, and the deeper they went, the thicker the Death Qi became, with a faint eternal stench of blood seeping through.

Half an hour later, they finally set foot on solid ground.

"Damn it!"

The moment he touched solid ground, Du Wenzhen cried out in shock, his voice tinged with horror, "Who... who did this?"

Xiao Mu, following closely, clearly saw the scene before him and felt a chill in his heart.

At the entrance of the pit, leading to a huge hall, there stood a transparent vessel, looking like a fish tank.

In the vessel was black, gloomy liquid resembling the River Styx.

Submerged in the liquid was the human head of a middle-aged man.

Perhaps it had already been there for thousands of years, but the head of the middle-aged man still bore an undispersed divine power, and the black gauze hat on his head clearly revealed his identity.

The Land God!

This middle-aged man was undoubtedly a Land God. After being killed, his head was placed inside a fish tank to demonstrate power.

A familiar feeling grew in Xiao Mu's heart as coldness crept up from the soles of his feet.

He recognized this Land God, for he had once seen the broken divine likeness of this very deity.

That was in the Land God Mansion beneath the Netherworld Passage of the Cuiyun Mountain Region.

Without a doubt, the middle-aged man in the fish tank was the Land God of the Cuiyun Mountain Region.

Not just that, Xiao Mu had seen this method of killing a deity to assert power before. It was when he was exploring a temple in search of the Judge Pen with Lady Hua and others.

The same method of killing a deity, the same way of showing power.
