"It's this one, the Five Elements Body that wards off evil," Xiao Mu quickly made a decision, setting his target as the Five Elements Body that wards off evil.

What came next was to find a way to make a meritorious deed to obtain the Five Elements Body that wards off evil. As long as he cultivated the Five Elements Body that wards off evil, the threats from the Curse Gate and the Life and Death Sect would be greatly reduced.

This meant that in the future, when Xiao Mu faced these two evil entities, he could have a huge advantage.

"Curse Gate, next, I need to understand precisely what the Curse Gate's divine techniques are and why their methods are so evil and bizarre," Xiao Mu affirmed, after deciding that the secret manual he would cultivate next was the Five Elements Body that wards off evil, he began to learn about the Curse Gate.

He went back to the directory, clicked on curse-type divine techniques, and checked the curse-type secret arts that the Alliance possessed.

"Black Curse Saber," "Evil Disease Sword," "Five Curse Divine Techniques"...

After examining the content for a moment, Xiao Mu frowned deeply.

The curse-type divine techniques of the Alliance had a fundamental difference from the Curse Gate's divine techniques and couldn't even be considered the same system.

The Curse Gate's divine techniques were fundamentally about utilizing the power of curses to curse the enemy.

The Alliance's curse-type divine techniques, on the other hand, involved using the power of curses to directly attack, which was more akin to the Five Elements Sect rather than the Curse Gate.

"How could this be?" Xiao Mu was greatly perplexed.

"Could it be that the Alliance doesn't actually possess the Curse Gate's divine techniques at all?" Upon realizing that this guess was quite likely correct, Xiao Mu was disappointed, as this outcome made it difficult for him to have a clear understanding of the Curse Gate's methods.

"That explains it," Xiao Mu sighed regretfully.

He finally understood why the Alliance had always lacked good countermeasures when facing the Curse Gate.

Given the Alliance's current lack of understanding of the Curse Gate, it was quite logical that they didn't have good countermeasures.

"It seems I need to understand the Curse Gate from other aspects," Xiao Mu mused.

"I wonder how much information about the Curse Gate is there in the Data Room."

Xiao Mu logged out of his account, shut down the computer, left the book inquiry area, and walked towards the data inquiry area.

He found another computer, sat down, logged in with his identity information, and began searching for information related to the Curse Gate.

Regardless of how well the information gathering was done, at least the Alliance's work in organizing the information was quite decent.

After logging into the main information page, Xiao Mu quickly found the information column for the Curse Gate based on the categories.

Upon opening the information column, information related to the Curse Gate immediately appeared before Xiao Mu's eyes.

"May 2nd, in the Leihe Region of the Fourth Stage of Mortal Realm, Mutant Being Xiao Jian and four others encountered Mutant Beings from the Curse Gate, and were cursed to death by the Curse Gate's curse-type divine techniques."

"May 2nd, in the Five Hua Domain of the Mortal Realm Fifth Level, Mutant Being King Zishan and two others encountered Mutant Beings from the Curse Gate, suffering heavy losses."

...

Xiao Mu browsed through the information casually and noticed that most of the information was about the Mortal Realm. He immediately used a filter, excluding the Mortal Realm related information, leaving only the True Realm information.

New pieces of information appeared:

"May 2nd, the Yin God mid-stage members Qin Jin and Zheng Huan of the Great Tang Ruins task group were attacked by strong individuals from the Curse Gate in the Cuiyun Mountain Region and were cursed and killed after mutating."

The top message was the news of the members Qin Jin and Zheng Huan from task group one being killed.

Xiao Mu shook his head slightly; news really spread fast.

He continued reading:

"May 2nd, Mutant Being of the True Realm from the ancient Qin ruins, Shen Cong encountered Mutant Beings from the Curse Gate, escaping with severe injuries."

Hmm?

There was information about other ruins?

Xiao Mu paused for a moment, then filtered again, this time only keeping the information related to the Great Tang Ruins.

Consequently, the information was reduced by more than half, leaving only a few dozen entries.

He continued to read on.

"April 22nd, Lee Zhong, a Yin God later-stage member of the Great Tang Ruins task group, encountered a strong individual from the Curse Gate in the Leihe Region. After a fierce battle, he escaped alive."

"April 3rd, Chen Zhen, a Yin God mid-stage Mutant Being and a regular member of the Great Tang Ruins, sustained severe injuries after encountering Mutant Beings from the Curse Gate in the Nanhua Domain."

...

"Strange!" As he perused one piece of information after another, Xiao Mu quickly detected anomalies within them.

"The locations where the Mutant Beings from the Great Tang Ruins encountered the Curse Gate took place mostly in the South Five Regions, with only a very few incidents occurring in other areas. Is there some pattern here?"

This discovery made Xiao Mu feel that something was off.

Within the eighteen domains of the Great Tang Ruins, there were a total of five domains to the south, including the Cuiyun Mountain Region directly to the south, the Nanhua Domain, the Five Hua Domain to the southeast, the Black Water Domain, and the Leihe Region to the southwest.

It could be said that more than 90% of the encounters between the Mutant Beings and the Curse Gate took place in these five domains, while the other thirteen domains accounted for less than 10%.

"Why is it so? Could it be that the Curse Gate's actual target is the South Five Regions of the Great Tang Ruins?"

Looking back through the previous information, Xiao Mu noticed that the more recent the information, the higher the proportion of incidents that occurred in the South Five Regions of the Great Tang Ruins.

The incidents where Mutant Beings encountered members of the Curse Gate in other regions were mostly from several months or even longer ago.

"From this perspective, ever since a few months ago, the Curse Gate has been purposefully concentrating its efforts in the South Five Regions."

This discovery excited Xiao Mu.

If the reason could be understood, it would mean grasping the movements of the Curse Gate.

By mastering the movements of the Curse Gate, he might be able to ascertain the Curse Gate's intentions and make a major contribution to the Alliance.

Whether anyone else had noticed the Curse Gate's systematic movement towards the South Five Regions of the Great Tang Ruins, Xiao Mu was not yet clear.
