Perhaps someone has already discovered it, but has not spoken out.

"What does Curse Gate want to do?"

With this question in mind, Xiao Mu began to look at one piece of information after another.

"April 7th, traces of Curse Gate were discovered beneath a certain pit in the Leihe Region, after investigation, the pit turned out to be the Hidden Mansion of Guo Xu, the Land God. The Treasure within the mansion had already been emptied by the Mutated Beings of Curse Gate."

"April 6th, an old temple in the Five Hua Domain was found to be the Temple of the Mountain God Qin Yu, unfortunately by the time it was discovered the temple had already been emptied, with traces of Curse Gate's Mutated Beings found within."

"April 1st, descendants of Divine Spirits were found in the Nanhua Domain. The entire family, young and old, were cursed to death by Curse Gate. The investigation indicated that the Divine Spirit seems to be the Land God Zhang Jing."

...

"Who are Mountain God Qin Yu and Land God Zhang Jing?"

Curious, Xiao Mu searched for information on Zhang Jing and Qin Yu and eventually discovered that these Divine Spirits were all subordinates of Guo Xu, the Land God.

Xiao Mu frowned once again.

"Earlier, the movements of Curse Gate might not have been related to the Land God, but later they were almost all centered around the Land God."

"So, the actions of Curse Gate are definitely related to the Land God."

"Could it be that Curse Gate is looking for the Land God?"

"Not necessarily!"

Xiao Mu quickly dismissed his own guess.

Though the actions of Curse Gate were centered around the Land God, it didn't necessarily mean they were looking for the Land God.

Is the Land God still alive?

With a heart full of curiosity, Xiao Mu searched for information on whether the Land God was still alive, but ultimately found nothing.

To this day, the Alliance has been unable to confirm whether Guo Xu, the Land God, is still alive.

"Regardless, it's certain now that the current actions of Curse Gate are connected to the Land God."

Xiao Mu's spirits lifted; this information was too important. Once reported to the Alliance, he would surely receive a reward.

After looking at more information on Curse Gate and then logging out, he proceeded to look up information on the Life and Death Sect.

For Xiao Mu, the most concerning information about the Life and Death Sect was the Undying Evil Ancestor.

Once his own strength improved and he reached the peak of the Yin God Realm, the first thing he intended to do was to take revenge for Thunder by killing the Undying Evil Ancestor.

"April 27th, Zhao Yu, a peak fighter of the Yin God Realm, was killed without a single wound on his body. His life force simply vanished, and it is suspected that the killer was the Undying Evil Ancestor, who used the Life and Death Record to claim Zhao Yu's life."

"April 23rd, He Long, a peak fighter of the Yin God Realm, encountered the Undying Evil Ancestor and was seriously wounded but managed to escape using the Earth Escape Technique."

...

Xiao Mu carefully examined every incident, scrutinizing the location of each occurrence.

"Fortunately, the Undying Evil Ancestor is mostly active near the Song Ruins and has never strayed too far. Good, this will ensure that I can find you when I reach the peak of the Yin God Realm."

After he logged off his account and shut down the computer, Xiao Mu left the Data Room.

The search results filled Xiao Mu with information but also left him with regrets.

Regrettably, he had not found any information related to Curse Gate's Curse Technique, which meant he couldn't gain a deeper understanding of their powers.

"Du Wenzhen has a Disease Gourd in his possession, containing the Curse Transformation Technique from Curse Gate. I should borrow it and take a look."

Xiao Mu was determined to understand the characteristics of Curse Gate's Divine Techniques to prepare for a possible encounter with Curse Gate.

Only by understanding more could he gain an advantage in battle against Curse Gate, reduce risks, and respond appropriately.

Although the Disease Gourd that Du Wenzhen possessed could utilize the Curse Disease Technique, a type of Divine Technique, the gourd's level was so low that the power of the deployed Curse Disease Technique was quite limited, amounting to nothing more than a flawed version.

But even so, it would still aid Xiao Mu in understanding Curse Gate's Divine Techniques.

"Let's head to the Meeting Room first to claim the welfare, then talk."

Recalling what Feng Xian said to him not long ago, Xiao Mu decided to go to the Meeting Room first.

The Meeting Room was located at the Station of Squad One, right next to the Office of the Squad Leader, Wu Yan.

Xiao Mu used his Earth Escape Technique to return, which didn't take long.

Just as he reached the doorway of the Meeting Room, Xiao Mu was taken aback.

The atmosphere inside the Meeting Room was clearly amiss.

Inside the Meeting Room, not only was Feng Xian present, but also Squad Leader Wu Yan, and the messenger Feng Rensong.

As Xiao Mu approached the door, he heard the roar of Squad Leader Wu Yan, "Outrageous! How dare that little Welfare room bully us? Chen Yan dares, I'll go find him."

Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh!

A yellow escape light flashed out of the meeting room, and the group leader, Wu Yan, charged furiously toward the direction of the welfare room.

"Group leader, I'll go with you."

Feng Xian and Feng Rensong called out as they chased out of the meeting room; upon seeing Xiao Mu at the entrance, they nodded slightly and then pursued Wu Yan.

"Mr. Feng, Messenger Feng, what happened? Why is the group leader so enraged?"

Xiao Mu hesitated for a moment, then activated the Earth Escape Technique and followed, keeping pace with Feng Xian and Feng Rensong.

Feng Rensong's face showed dissatisfaction.

Feng Xian's expression was awkward as he explained, "Our group's welfare has been deducted by half, the group leader is furious and wants to settle the score with the welfare room."

"Our welfare has been deducted by half?"

Xiao Mu's expression changed, no wonder Wu Yan was so angry.

As a group leader, leading members through life-and-death battles, with subordinates dying one after another, to have their welfare deducted was indeed reason enough for outrage.

"What does the group leader intend to do?" Xiao Mu asked.

"What to do? Of course, he's going to get it back. If Chen Yan from the welfare room dares not to give it, the group leader could kill him," Feng Rensong said with a sneer.

Xiao Mu was slightly stunned, clearly, the remark was somewhat unexpected.

However, it was also possible to infer that group leader Wu Yan had a fiery temper. This gave Xiao Mu a deeper understanding of the group leader.

"Chen Yan, get the hell out here!"

Soon, the three of them followed Wu Yan to the outside of the welfare room.

At the entrance of the welfare room, Wu Yan kicked the door to pieces with a flying kick, blocking the doorway to prevent anyone from leaving.

A wave of killing intent unfurled from Wu Yan, the boiling anger forming dark clouds in the sky.

Those nearby the welfare room, whether they were members of group one or group two, hurriedly scattered in fright.

What the fuck!

The welfare room's group leader, Chen Yan, upon seeing Wu Yan, immediately looked dismayed. As he cursed under his breath, he instructed his members to secretly report to the alliance higher-ups, while he himself feigned a smiling face to greet Wu Yan.

"Isn't this Group Leader Wu? Ha-ha! Group Leader Wu, why so furious all of sudden? Come on, Group Leader Wu, cool down, let's go inside and talk if there's something wrong."

Chen Yan went out of his way to show extreme caution, clearly not wanting to provoke Wu Yan.

As the leader of task group one, Wu Yan was much stronger than he could compete with.

"Where's the other half of the welfare? Hand it over, or I'll kill you!" Wu Yan's face was full of killing intent, giving no face to Chen Yan.

"This..."

Chen Yan was instantly embarrassed; he was dulcet and only wanted to buy time, waiting for the alliance higher-ups to arrive, but Wu Yan clearly did not intend to give him that chance.

"What's all this 'this' and 'that'? I'll give you five seconds. If you don't hand over the other half of the welfare, I'll kill you right now. My members and I face death threats every moment in the outside world, while you bastards hide inside the camp enjoying yourselves, yet you dare to deduct our welfare. Who gave you the guts?"

Wu Yan, his face full of killing intent, coldly said, "I'll only give you five seconds. One, two..."

"Group Leader Wu, no need to count. I'll give it, okay? I'll give it. Is that okay?"

Yet Wu Yan had barely reached "two" when Chen Yan chose to compromise. He had to – Wu Yan was the kind of brute who truly dared to attack him.

Fuck, this guy is just like a mad dog!

Wu Yan didn't stop counting, "three, four..."

Beads of cold sweat instantly sprang onto Chen Yan's face; he turned back and waved anxiously at the welfare room's members, "Quick, bring out the other half of the welfare now!"

"Yes, group leader."

Members of the welfare room hastily brought out a batch of storage boxes and placed them on the ground.

"Sigh."

Chen Yan let out a helpless sigh and looked at Wu Yan with a sheepish smile, "Group Leader Wu, would you like to check?"

Wu Yan waved his hand backward, and Feng Xian moved to pick up the storage boxes.

From beginning to end, Wu Yan didn't bother to check the storage boxes himself; he simply wasn't worried about Chen Yan shortchanging them.

If there was a shortage, they'd just fight to get it back.

Wu Yan swept his murderous gaze over Chen Yan and said coldly, "Next time, I'll kill you outright."

With a twitching face and a tone of helpless defense, Chen Yan said, "Group Leader Wu, it wasn't my decision to cut the welfare of group one. I was just following the rules, why take your anger out on me?"

"Who? Who made the decision? Speak up!"

Wu Yan furiously burst out the moment he heard this, flashed close to Chen Yan with the Earth Escape Technique, and lifted him up with one hand.
