The one-horned, black-faced man commanded, and the five Divine Spirit Realm powerhouses dispersed in different directions.

Xiao Mu kept using the Earth Escape Technique to flee, trying to escape from the Nanhua Domain.

A few days later, Xiao Mu realized he seemed to have been trapped in the Nanhua Domain, with Divine Spirit Realm powerhouses guarding every key exit point.

How vicious!

Xiao Mu saw a Divine Spirit Realm powerhouse's escape light flash by in front of him and couldn't help but curse inwardly.

Not only had the Curse Gate completely blocked off all roads leading outside, but there were also Divine Spirit Realm powerhouses searching for his whereabouts everywhere.

Exactly how many Divine Spirit Realm powerhouses had the Curse Gate sent this time?

It left Xiao Mu feeling powerless.

Fortunately, he had cultivated the "Hidden Life Technique." In critical moments, he could turn to ash and hide, not easily found unless someone used Divine Sense to meticulously search inch by inch.

But the Nanhua Domain was so vast, how easy could it be to use Divine Sense to search every inch? Perhaps some could do it, but it would likely require the strong at least at the True God Realm level.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Escape light appeared nearby once again, but compared to the Divine Spirit Realm powerhouse that had just passed by, the owner of this escape light was much weaker—it was merely a Mid Yin God Realm Mutated Being.

Looking up at the silhouette of the Mid Yin God Realm Mutated Being from the Curse Gate, Xiao Mu barely suppressed the urge to attack.

There were simply too many Divine Spirit Realm powerhouses in the Nanhua Domain at the moment. Who knew if someone was hiding in the dark, deliberately using a weaker being to bait him into a trap?

Endure! Hold back!

Soon, another Yin God Realm Mutated Being passed by Xiao Mu using an Escape Technique, and Xiao Mu continued to hold back.

Before long, yet another Yin God Realm Mutated Being skimmed past Xiao Mu using an Escape Technique.

Two, three, five...

These Mutated Beings from the Curse Gate were all heading in the same direction.

"What's happening up ahead? Why are so many Mutated Beings from the Curse Gate gathering in the same direction?"

Xiao Mu was genuinely curious. After giving it some thought, he slowly followed by using the Tai Chi Steps.

He didn't dare to use any Escape Technique casually, for fear of being discovered, and could only rely on the Tai Chi Steps to slowly make his way.

After walking like this for more than two days, he finally arrived at his destination.

A gigantic black stone-like thing entered Xiao Mu's line of sight, causing his pupils to constrict.

Black Stele! A colossal black stele resembling a tombstone!

It was a black colossus, two or three hundred meters tall, completely formed from Curse Power.

Curse Power so rich it had turned to liquid was now flowing down from the black stele like black water.

The black water emitted a potent foul smell, continuously spreading out shimmering Spell Light.

"Help me!"

"Don't kill me, I don't want to die yet!"

"Save me, please, whimper!"

Noises of chaotic crying came from below the black stele, and beneath the Black Stele was an enormous square, at least a hundred acres in size.

On the square, at least tens of thousands of ordinary humans were kneeling before the black stele, praying and worshiping under the suppression of several dozen Yin God Realm Mutated Beings from the Curse Gate.

Pop!

The body of an ordinary human suddenly burst like a bubble, immediately turning into black Curse Power.

This Curse Power, as if drawn towards it, drifted to the black stele and was absorbed by it.

"Ah~"

The ordinary people nearby, startled, screamed and dodged to the side.

"Silence! Kneel down, pray, those who flee shall die!"

A Yin God Realm Mutated Being rushed over, suppressing the panicking and dodging ordinary humans with a powerful Divine Sense. A group of ordinary humans immediately prostrated on the ground, utterly unable to resist.

Pop! Pop!

Amidst the praying, ordinary humans continued to burst one after another, turning into black light absorbed by the black stele.

Dammit!

Xiao Mu felt a surge of uncontainable fury inside him.

These ordinary humans were clearly the Nanhua Domain's citizens, herded here by the Curse Gate for a blood sacrifice to the black stele.

This incited rage in Xiao Mu, these Mutated Beings from the Curse Gate all deserved to die!

Hum!

The Black Stele suddenly reacted, emitting a faint tremor.

Xiao Mu couldn't help but look up at the top of the high Black Stele in the sky, and his heart gave another jolt at the sight.

Across from the Black Stele, suspended high in the air, there was an incense burner, standing alone. Opposite the incense burner, on the body of the Black Stele, there was the image of a person.

It was too far away for Xiao Mu to discern the details of the figure, not even able to tell if it was a man or a woman, barely recognizing the shape as a humanoid creature.

The Black Stele seemed like a Tombstone, but it wasn't; it was actually used to worship the person in the middle image of the Black Stele with Incense Fire, similar to establishing a temple to summon that person to the human world.

Pop! Pop! Pop!

One after another, the ordinary people kneeling in the square exploded, turning into a black light absorbed by the Black Stele, and with each life lost, the power of the Divine Spirits in the Black Stele grew slightly stronger.

"Save me, please don't kill me!"

"I'm begging you, let me go, my child is only three months old, he can't be without his mother..."

"Run! Those who disobey shall die!"

Crying and shouting sounds came from the East, as four Mutated Beings of the Curse Gate at the Yin God Realm escorted about a thousand ordinary people into the square.

The ordinary people who had just been herded over were terrified and began to cry when they saw the corpses of those who had been forced to kneel and pray in the square, begging the Mutated Beings of the Curse Gate for mercy.

The Mutated Beings of the Curse Gate clearly didn't regard these ordinary people as anything important, herding them into the square like sheep and forcing them to pray.

A young girl tried to run away, but a one-legged Mutated Being from the Curse Gate caught her with a sinister laugh and pinned her to the ground.

"Please, don't kill me," the young girl pleaded.

The Mutated Being of the Curse Gate ignored the young girl's pleas and, with a sinister smile, stuck an incense stick into the top of her head and lit it.

"Ah~"

The young girl screamed in agony, her face contorted with pain, as she was pinned to the ground by the one-legged Mutated Being, completely immobilized.

The incense stick burned rapidly, using the young girl as fuel; her struggling form gradually faded as the Incense Fire produced by the burning stick was all absorbed by the Black Stele.

Pop! Pop! Pop!

Within the praying crowd, more ordinary people's bodies continuously exploded into black light that was absorbed by the Black Stele, enhancing the power of that Divine Spirit on the Black Stele.

Beasts! These Curse Gate beasts really deserve to be killed!

Xiao Mu couldn't help but curse again, repeatedly fighting the urge to come forward and slaughter all the Yin God Realm Mutated Beings of the Curse Gate. After glancing at the Black Stele, however, he forcefully restrained himself.

The Divine Spirit behind the Black Stele was too strong, likely more than just a Divine Spirit, but a True God.

It's a True God, not just at the True God Realm.

The True God Realm is just the third realm of the True Realm, and those at this level might not possess a Divine Spirit Level spirit tablet occupation.

For example, even though a respected one might be a strong being at the True God Realm, their spirit tablet occupation is only at the Divine Spirit Level of a city god.

A True God is at the same level as the Lord of Bai's Mansion.

A being of that level, even if just a single Stele, is not something that Xiao Mu can contend with at this moment.

He forcefully suppressed the urge to jump out.

Xiao Mu was very clear that at this point, only by preserving his useful life and finding ways to increase his strength, might he possibly be able to save the ordinary people of the Nanhua Domain being driven to blood sacrifice by the Curse Gate.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

A yellow Escape Light suddenly streaked from a distance, arriving near the square before long.

The figure within the yellow Escape Light appeared, and Xiao Mu, who was spying from not too far away, had a stir in his heart.

A man with an ugly Ghost Face.

This man was the ugly-faced Ghost Face man that Xiao Mu had encountered on the battlefield, a strong being at the peak perfection of the Yin God Realm.

This Ghost Face man, who had chased after Xiao Mu along with Qu Xuanlang, soon gave up. If Xiao Mu's Escape Speed was even faster than Qu Xuanlang, how could he catch up?

Seeing the Ghost Face man appearing, Xiao Mu began to worry for Xu Qianwu and the others.

Considering the number of Curse Gate Divine Spirit Level powerhouses he had seen, the safety of Xu Qianwu and others was concerning.

Fortunately, for some unknown reason, only a small portion of the Curse Gate's Mutated Beings went to the battlefield, which was a slim chance for Xu Qianwu and the others to survive.

"Ming Yu, you've arrived. How did the battle with the human world go?"

A gaunt man at the peak of the Yin God Realm approached the Ghost Face man with a smile and asked.

"We were completely victorious!" The Ghost Face man, Ming Yu, replied with a smile.

"I knew it, how could the few people in the human world be a match for you!"

The gaunt man clapped and praised loudly before asking again, "What about the people from the human world? Did you capture them all?"

Ming Yu shook his head, "We captured some, about a dozen or so; most of them got away, including the two Divine Spirit Level powerhouses, Xu Qianwu and Fang Ying."

"But, Xu Qianwu and Fang Ying were both injured, and the injuries were severe. We are currently searching for their whereabouts. By the way, have you seen any human world Mutated Beings?"
