"In the core area, only one person can enter at a time. The qualification for cultivation in the core area will be automatically canceled for those who enter the outer circle unless they reapply."

Xiao Mu suddenly glanced outside, looking at the fifteen cultivators of Peak Perfection sent by Jia Ming into the True God Hall, chuckling as he reminded.

"Why do you need to remind me, thinking this Grand Elder doesn't know?" Jia Ming couldn't help but reply to Xiao Mu with a bad attitude, "This Grand Elder will naturally rearrange things for them later, to re-enter the True God Hall for cultivation."

"What a fair and impartial Grand Elder Jia!" Upon hearing this, Xiao Mu immediately mocked Jia Ming without showing any emotion.

Jia Ming turned a deaf ear, directly urging Xu Fu, Guo Liang, and others, "Xu Fu, Guo Liang, Zheng Min, Chen Ji, Xu Fan, quickly enter the formation to help Zheng Wei enter the core area."

"Yes!"

Xu Fu, Guo Liang, and others once again agreed, then, the fifteen of them together directly rushed into the True God Hall.

Soon, these fifteen people entered the True God Hall, arriving by Xiao Mu's side.

Meanwhile, Zheng Wei took this opportunity to walk back again, standing beside Xiao Mu.

At this time, except for the three people from the Divine Phoenix faction, the rest on the list were all sent into the True God Hall.

These later fifteen people, counting Zheng Wei, totaled sixteen, all staring at Xiao Mu.

The sixteen people, with Zheng Wei leading them.

"Shameless, sixteen people bullying one."

Suddenly a discontented voice came from the crowd of bystanders.

Someone murmured softly, "Sixteen bullying one, even if they win, there's no glory in it."

"What a pity!"

Someone sighed quietly, lamenting, "The people from the Divine Phoenix faction can't go in to help. Otherwise, it'd become a two-sided battle. Xiao Mu can only rely on himself, so alone in this crowd."

"Shameless!"

Someone cursed softly.

Upon hearing it, Jia Ming's face darkened, as most of the bystanders' curses were clearly directed at him.

Most of the onlookers were neutral, but because of that list, Jia Ming lost their trust, and everyone started calling for him to be cast out.

Xiao Mu also heard the bystanders' discussions but simply smiled, his smile very calm.

"Xiao Mu, no matter how strong you are alone, you can't withstand the combined assault of our sixteen people solely with Protective Gang Energy."

Zheng Wei, leading the other fifteen, stared at Xiao Mu, "For the sake of your own dignity, I advise you to step aside lest we push you away and disgrace you."

"Why not give it a try!"

Xiao Mu, sitting in place, after saying the words, immediately closed his eyes as if completely ignoring Zheng Wei and the others.

Zheng Wei was furious, "Xiao Mu, you brought this upon yourself. Don't say we didn't give you a chance."

Xiao Mu didn't even blink.

"Dear friends, please join forces to use Protective Gang Energy to push Xiao Mu away and create an opportunity for me to enter the core area."

Zheng Wei, enraged, turned to give orders to Xu Fu, Xu Dong, and others.

"Don't worry, Brother Zheng. If it's a battle, we may not be Xiao Mu's match, but merely using the Protective Divine Layer to push him away, fifteen people joining forces is more than enough."

Xu Dong confidently replied.

Battle and simply using Protective Divine Layer to counterbalance are completely different.

In battle, winning or losing involves considering many factors, such as techniques, Escape Art, secret arts, Divine Weapon, and various combat techniques.

Using the Protective Divine Layer for counteraction only compares individual cultivation.

In terms of merely comparing individual cultivation, Xu Dong even felt that Xiao Mu, at the same Peak Perfection, wasn't much stronger than himself.

And earlier, the reason Xiao Mu could use his Protective Gang Energy to repel Zheng Wei was merely because the level of Xiao Mu's protective divine layer cultivation was higher than Zheng Wei's.

That was all.

"I, Zheng Wei, am here to thank all of you Daoist friends." Zheng Wei happily thanked Xu Dong and others.

"You're too kind, Brother Zheng!" Xu Dong responded humbly.

"Xiao Mu, I've already warned you. You chose to disgrace yourself, so don't blame us for leaving no mercy."

Zheng Wei sternly said to Xiao Mu, still getting no response, then turned angrily to Xu Dong and said, "Brother Xu, please act!"

"Alright!"

Xu Dong solemnly agreed and said in a deep voice to Zheng Wei, "Brother Zheng, there's no need to say so much. Dignity is lost by oneself. Some people ignore their dignity and choose to disgrace themselves; we ought to help them."

"Shameless!" The crowd once again murmured softly, "Fifteen people attacking one, yet speaking shameless words with such righteousness, really thick-skinned like the Earth."

"Who?"

Xu Dong was furious, turned his head to look outside the True God Hall, and shouted, "Sneaky, what kind of thing are you? Want to speak? Come out and speak openly!"

"Xu Dong, what great prestige you have, watch your mouth, who are you calling sneaky?"

A distinguished-looking man suddenly walked out from the crowd, it was Zhu Qi from the Divine Phoenix faction, completely disregarding Xu Dong.

"Zhu Qi, it's you, were you the one talking? You were also punished by Xiao Mu to kneel, yet you help speak for him?"

Xu Dong looked at Zhu Qi in surprise.

"The conflict between Xiao Mu and us was just a misunderstanding."

With a cold tone, Zhu Qi said, "Strange, if I don't speak for Xiao Mu, how could I possibly speak for you Xu Dong?"
