The soil was just ordinary soil, swiftly severed on the spot.

However, a divine glare flashed on the Great Decree, and under the illumination of the golden light, a new mud arm was immediately generated, gripping their lower legs again and preventing their escape.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Xiao Mu flicked his hand and released the Xuanfeng Needle. Under the dazzling brilliance, the Xuanfeng Needle spread its wings and flew towards the four of them.

"What the hell is this?"

The Xuanfeng Needle first attacked Chi Hui. Among the four, Xiao Mu disliked him the most.

Chi Hui was shocked, watching the dazzling light rushing towards him, he hurriedly used the silver ruler in his hand to block the attack.

Bang!

The Xuanfeng Needle struck the silver ruler, exploded and released a dazzling silver radiance.

Just as Chi Hui felt a moment of relief, Xiao Mu's Door-God Painting had arrived.

The Door-God Painting rolled her up like a gigantic wave. With a flick from Xiao Mu, her body instantly disintegrated into powder.

"Xiao Mu, don't kill me!"

"Xiao Mu, as long as you let us go, I guarantee we won't say anything."

"Xiao Mu, I can work for you, please don't kill me."

The remaining three began begging Xiao Mu for mercy.

Xiao Mu remained unaffected and dispatched the Door-God Painting in quick succession, killing all three on the spot.

The Ghost Princess watched with a faint smile as Xiao Mu fought these five mutated beings, throughout the entire fight, she remained a spectator, showing no intention of assisting.

Upon watching Xiao Mu continuously kill the mutated beings, she gave a slight nod of approval.

"Clean this up, search their bodies."

Xiao Mu released a Ghost Servant to clean up the battlefield.

"Yes, your lordship!"

The Ghost Servant complied respectfully and began searching over the five corpses. In no time, it had finished the search and handed five storage boxes to Xiao Mu.

"Your lordship, please see, everything is here."

Xiao Mu took the storage boxes, opened them to glance inside, and casually put them in the Earth Seal Space.

Neither Zhen Tian Trueperson nor the other five could be considered wealthy. They didn't have much valuable treasures on them, there were some Energy Fruits, but only around twenty or so.

This made Xiao Mu somewhat disappointed and puzzled. Given the strength of Zhen Tian Trueperson and the others, there should have been more Energy Fruits on them.

However, he was not inclined to explore further. After casually packing away the storage boxes, he turned to look at the Ghost Princess.

"Shall we start now?"

The Ghost Princess had been waiting quietly for Xiao Mu to finish his tasks. She only spoke up at this point.

"We can start."

Xiao Mu replied.

"Follow me, the City God Temple lies ahead."

The Ghost Princess called out and went ahead into the mist.

Xiao Mu followed closely behind.

There was obviously some kind of array in the mist. Once they entered, the scene in front of them changed immediately, as if they had entered a different dimension.

The mist disappeared, and the chaotic Stone Forest disappeared, leaving behind only the illusion of an extraordinary landscape.

"I was worried that others would seize the opportunity to enter the City God Temple whenever I wasn't around, so I deliberately set up a disorienting array again."

The Ghost Princess explained casually and continued to lead Xiao Mu forward, "Follow my steps, don't fall behind."

The Ghost Princess was extremely familiar with this array. She led Xiao Mu, turning left and right, and before long, they had traversed through it.

The scene before Xiao Mu's eyes changed again, the environment disappeared, and in its place appeared the Sacred Ruins.

In these Sacred Ruins, a strange aura pervaded. Deep within, two kinds of brilliance flickered, one of white and one of black.

The white light emanated the breath of life, while the black light the breath of death.

The Ghost Princess halted and patiently explained, "Inside the City God Temple, a guardian spirit exists. Composed of both life and death energies, it can control both the radiance of life and death, and its power is exceptional."

"Xiao Mu, to get through this guardian spirit, Life and Death Mirrors are needed. Life Mirror can ward off the white light while Mirror of Death can ward off the black light. Only with their combined use, can one get past the guardian spirit."

"Oh!"

Xiao Mu listened and nodded, committing to memory what the Ghost Princess had said.

"The Life Mirror is with you, and the Mirror of Death is with me. For the upcoming challenges, we will have to cooperate. I hope it won't be ruined because of you."

The Ghost Princess reminded Xiao Mu, somewhat worried.

Xiao Mu responded, "You worry too much, I won't make any mistakes in this small matter."

The Ghost Princess said, "In any case, it's better to be overly cautious. Now, enough with the nonsense, let's go together."

Xiao Mu agreed, and the two each took out the Life and Death Mirrors. Holding the mirrors up towards the sky, they walked side by side into the Sacred Ruins.

Energy was input, the Life and Death Mirrors were activated instantly, emitting two rays of light, black and white, that shot straight to the sky.

Under the influence of the radiance of life and death, even the sky seemed to change, with half appearing black and the other white, appearing incredibly eerie.

Xiao Mu and the Ghost Princess obviously didn't care about these changes. Using their treasure mirrors as protection, they made their way into the Sacred Ruins.

"Hmph!"

A derisive snort echoed, carrying a terrifying presence that sent shivers down one's spine.

A massive giant, half-black and half-white, emerged from the depths of the Sacred Ruins. It was towering and majestic, looking down on Xiao Mu and the Ghost Princess. Its eyes opened wide, letting loose one black and one white ray of light from its left and right eye respectively.

The black and white light released the aura of life and death respectively, directly sweeping towards Xiao Mu and the Ghost Princess.

The giant figure simultaneously extended its hands, pushing down gently.

The sky seemed to change, half turning black and the other white.

The black side targeted Xiao Mu, completely enveloping him, while the white side targeted the Ghost Princess, also enveloping her.
