Saying farewell to the Zhou Xuan Sect, Xiao Mu left Floating Sky Mountain directly and rode a cloud towards the Everlasting Domain.

He originally intended to build up his Tai Mie Mountain, but given the current situation, there was clearly not enough time for him to pause and construct.

Commanding the Cloud Mist, he flew directly to the Everlasting Domain. For Xiao Mu, familiar with the terrain, searching for Yang Yuan's corpse in the Great Tang Ruins was evidently easier than in the other two locations.

※※※

On Floating Sky Mountain, the moment Xiao Mu descended the mountain, at Qing Ancient Divine Mountain where Jin Yuan was stationed, the eight Grand Elders, the newly promoted Domain Master of Great Xia Realm, Xia Zhen, Chen Ming, a total of ten people, were having a meeting together.

With a serious expression, Jin Yuan said, "I just received the news, Xiao Mu, Mei Zun, and Lv Liangping, have descended the mountain. They want to find Zhang Hua's fault. Zhang Hua, you were too careless in your actions."

As he spoke, Jin Yuan turned to look at Lei Zhanghua, his eyes carrying a hint of reproach.

"It was my mistake."

Lei Zhanghua did not defend himself, lowering his head to admit his error.

Jin Yuan then explained to the others, "Xiao Mu, Mei Zun, and Lv Liangping's target is not Zhang Hua, but the Eternal Lamp in Zhang Hua's hands."

"The Eternal Lamp!"

Hearing this, everyone was shocked.

Xiao Mu, Mei Zun, and Lv Liangping, were actually eyeing the Eternal Lamp.

This Eternal Lamp is extremely important, virtually a treasure that mass-produces mid-stage True Gods, highly valued by the eight Grand Elders.

At present, upon hearing Xiao Mu, Mei Zun, and Lv Liangping were targeting this lamp, a group of people became immediately wary.

Jin Yuan continued, "Zhang Hua was too careless at the time, after killing Yang Yuan, he directly abandoned the corpse instead of destroying it."

"Now, Xiao Mu, Mei Zun, and Lv Liangping want to find Yang Yuan's corpse to topple Zhang Hua and take back the Eternal Lamp."

"What audacity!"

Chen Ming suddenly chuckled coldly, disdainfully saying, "These three, they think well enough, but wanting to topple Elder Lei might not be as easy as they imagine."

"Now, even the Human Emperor has to yield to us, fearing to provoke us, forcing us to rebel. Even if Xiao Mu, Mei Zun, and Lv Liangping did get evidence against Elder Lei about Yang Yuan's murder, so what? Does the Human Emperor really dare risk inciting us to rebellion by making Elder Lei hand over the Eternal Lamp?"

"Chen Ming speaks reasonably!"

Qi Gu agreed, "As long as the Human Emperor fears forcing us to rebellion, and dares not punish Zhang Hua, even if Xiao Mu and Mei Zun get evidence of Zhang Hua killing Yang Yuan, what can they do? I think, Elder Jin, you are worrying too much."

"The Human Emperor... The Human Emperor..."

Jin Yuan pondered upon hearing this, "We still cannot precisely determine what the Human Emperor's view on us is."

"However, unless absolutely necessary, I definitely will not betray the Human Emperor."

"Moreover, Qi Gu and Chen Ming, your views are not entirely correct. Because of Divine Phoenix Woman and Zhou Xuan Sect, if Xiao Mu and the others really get the evidence of Zhang Hua killing Yang Yuan, the Human Emperor might be forced to deal with Zhang Hua for face-saving reasons."

"In any case, Yang Yuan's corpse bones must not be found by Xiao Mu and them."

Jin Yuan's statement caused the other nine Grand Elders, including the newly promoted Grand Elder Xia Zhen and Chen Ming. Among the nine, some seemed unconcerned, thinking even if things were not handled, the Human Emperor would not punish them at this time. However, some were deep in thought, believing Jin Yuan made sense.

"As a Grand Elder, my opinion is, it's best not to offend the Human Emperor. So, it's wiser to send someone to find and destroy Yang Yuan's corpse bones."

There was silence. Some agreed with Jin Yuan's words, but others did not.

"Zhang Hua, where did you throw Yang Yuan's corpse bones?"

"This..."

Lei Zhanghua paused for a moment, shamefully said, "In the hurried actions of the past, I've long forgotten where Yang Yuan's corpse bones were thrown. In any case, they're either in the Great Tang Ruins, Great Xia Realm, or Three Emperors' Tomb."

"You were too careless!"

Jin Yuan's tone was resentful, "Forget it, since that's the case, send three people to head to the Great Tang Ruins, Great Xia Realm, and Three Emperors' Tomb. Gentlemen, whoever volunteers to go, can speak up."

Some remained silent, apparently thinking it unlikely that even if Xiao Mu found Yang Yuan's corpse bones, there would be consequences. The Human Emperor would not dare to punish Lei Zhanghua before regaining full strength, not fearing rebellion from our side?

But some felt it necessary to prevent...

"Haha!"

Chen Ming suddenly laughed heartily, "Let me go to the Everlasting Domain. That Xiao Mu, last time, tried to topple me with Huang Luo. Had it not been for the Grand Elders splitting their Divine Sense to kill Huang Luo, destroying the evidence, how could I have become a Guobao Divine Monarch today?"

"Xiao Mu, my hatred for him is deep as the sea. Now I am a mid-stage True God, while he is only an early-stage True God. Taking this opportunity, it's just right that I finish him off."

"You going to Everlasting Domain, that will do!" Jin Yuan glanced at Chen Ming, hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement, but also instructed, "Remember, be thorough and leave no evidence of murder, preferably... preferably make it appear as if the Heavenly Court did it."

"I've remembered!"

Chen Ming, with a bright smile, said, "That Xiao Mu is named by Emperor Taijia himself as a wanted person, anyone from the Heavenly Court wishes to kill him. As long as the information of him being in the Everlasting Domain is quietly released, letting the Heavenly Court know, Xiao Mu will find it hard not to die."

"I'm willing to go to the Great Xia Realm!" Xia Zhen, the former Domain Master of the Great Xia Realm, volunteered himself.
