Half a day later, Xiao Mu summoned Zhu Jie for questioning.

Zhu Jie, drenched in sweat, seemed full of anxiety. The two assistants he sent were uncontactable, making him extremely uneasy.

"Zhu Jie, half a day has passed, not only did your two subordinates fail to bring Lin Ping here for questioning, but they also haven't sent back any news. What do you have to say for yourself?"

"Zhu Jie is guilty, Grand Elder Xiao, please allow me to personally go and bring Lin Ping, Li Yan, and Lu Xuan here for questioning."

"No need!"

Unexpectedly for Zhu Jie, Xiao Mu shook his head, "There might really be an issue happening over at the Everlasting Domain. Even if you go, you can't solve the problem. I, the Grand Elder, intend to go and take a look myself."

Zhu Jie was taken aback by this outcome and quickly suggested, "Grand Elder Xiao plans to go personally? Do you need me to..."

"No need!"

Xiao Mu interrupted him before Zhu Jie could finish, "Over here at the Ancient God Village, someone needs to stay after I leave. You stay here temporarily and oversee the Ancient God Village for me."

Zhu Jie quickly agreed but then expressed his lack of strength and was afraid he would not be able to replace Xiao Mu in overseeing the Ancient God Village. Xiao Mu told Zhu Jie not to worry as he had other plans.

Then, Xiao Mu went to see the Wild Man.

"Senior Hei, I need to leave for a while; during my absence, could I ask you, Senior Hei, to help take care of the Ancient God Village?"

"Ah ah~" The Wild Man replied absentmindedly.

Xiao Mu, observing the Wild Man's condition, felt a vague unease but still said, "I leave it to you temporarily, Senior Hei."

"Ah ah~" The Wild Man responded again, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.

The Wild Man's demeanor made Xiao Mu uneasy; it seemed that the huge cemetery in the Ancient God Village had brought significant trouble to Senior Hei.

Could it be that what lies beneath the cemetery is related to Senior Hei's past?

Xiao Mu suddenly thought of a possibility, growing even more anxious in his heart.

If what's beneath the cemetery is truly related to the Wild Man's past, how terrifying would that be? The Wild Man is an existence at the Heavenly God Level.

Xiao Mu did not dare to imagine further; filled with unease, he left the Ancient God Village and directly flew towards the Domain Master's Mansion of the Everlasting Domain.

He decided to make a quick round trip to avoid any accidents happening in the Ancient God Village during his absence.

Zhu Jie's strength was insufficient to withstand the powerful figures of the Heavenly Court. The Wild Man's condition was poor, and he might not be of any help at a critical moment.

For safety reasons, just before leaving, Xiao Mu specifically gave Zhu Jie and He Jin a Dao Talisman for communication, instructing them to immediately contact him in case the Heavenly Court attacked the village.

Xiao Mu's flying speed was very fast; in just about half an hour, he flew from the Ancient God Village to the Domain Master's Mansion of the Everlasting Domain.

He stood high above the Domain Master's Mansion, observing for a moment, and then became furious.

The Domain Master's Mansion was extremely calm, with Variants constantly coming in and out, showing no signs of having had any incident.

Xiao Mu landed directly in the courtyard of the Domain Master's Mansion and shouted angrily at the main hall, "Lin Ping, get out here to see me!"

In the main hall of the Domain Master's Mansion, Lin Ping heard Xiao Mu's shout mixed with the authority of the True Gods, and he jumped out of his seat in shock, looking uneasily at Chen Ming.

He stammered, "Chen... Grand Elder Chen, Xiao... Grand Elder Xiao is here!"

Chen Ming remained calm, seemingly entirely unaffected, "With me here, don't panic, invite him in."

Lin Ping stood up and hurriedly tried to go out to greet Xiao Mu.

Chen Ming became displeased again, glaring fiercely at Lin Ping. This glare frightened Lin Ping back into his seat, "No need to go out to greet him, give the command to let him in."

"This..." Lin Ping was bewildered; Chen Ming dared to command Xiao Mu—where did he, a small Domain Master, get the audacity to issue orders to Xiao Mu?

But, as Chen Ming glared again, with a gaze imbued with the Divine Monarch of Guobao's authority, Lin Ping was intimidated and nervously issued the command, "Please... please invite Grand Elder Xiao in for a word!"

"Please, Grand Elder Xiao... Grand Elder Xiao come in for a word!"

The guards of the main hall, trembling, transmitted Lin Ping's command.

Daring to welcome a Grand Elder in such a manner, without even greeting him personally—they felt that Lin Ping was courting death. So much so that their voices trembled as they relayed the message.

"Hmph!"

Xiao Mu snorted angrily, forcibly suppressing his inner rage because he heard Chen Ming's voice inside the hall and realized it was Chen Ming causing trouble.

No wonder Lin Ping was so bold, not only defying his order but, upon the arrival of himself, a Grand Elder, dared to stay inside and order him to come in to speak.

Xiao Mu naturally couldn't go in; if he really followed the order, where would his dignity as a Grand Elder be?

With a cold snort, he decisively waved his sleeve towards the grand hall.

Boom!

The authority of the Domain Master flew out from Xiao Mu's sleeve, heading straight for the grand hall.

The authority of the Eastern Domain Master connected to this land, causing the ground to shake as if a terrible earthquake had been unleashed.

The grand hall of the Everlasting Domain collapsed directly.

The next moment, over a dozen figures rushed out of the collapsing grand hall, many appearing embarrassed, some inhaling the dust from the collapse and coughing violently.

"Xiao Mu, how dare you destroy the grand hall of the Domain Master's Mansion!" Chen Ming flew out from the hall, using the protection of the Divine Monarch of Guobao, and was unharmed by the collapse.
