As long as we can summon Wu De Divine Monarch, Lord of the Nether River and Guobao Divine Monarch are not a concern at all.
Xiao Mu took out the Dao Talisman left by Wu De Divine Monarch, contacted him again, briefly explained the situation in Twilight Forest Village, and then requested Wu De Divine Monarch to come and assist.
After sending out the message, Xiao Mu held his cellphone, thought for a moment, and decided to send a message to Zhou Xuanmen.
A few seconds later, Zhou Xuanmen looked at his phone with a complex expression.
Xiao Mu: Senior Zhou, I have already informed Senior Wu De to come and assist, to help the senior deal with the Lord of the Nether River and Guobao Divine Monarch, the senior does not have to worry about dealing with these two people.
"I need you to help invite helpers? Humph, unnecessary!"
Zhou Xuanmen snorted coldly, casually threw his cellphone into the storage space, in doing so, signals could not enter the storage space, and he no longer needed to worry about receiving more messages.
However, soon after, a slight smile appeared on the corner of Zhou Xuanmen's mouth, his body transformed into curse power, and shot toward the distance like a gleam of light.
This curse power transformed into a grey brilliance, speeded westward like a grey line along the ground level of Twilight Forest Village, but as it passed the Dalin Abyss, suddenly a black brilliance fell from the sky, this brilliance was so thick, it looked like a giant pillar falling down from the sky and fiercely stabbing into the human world.
Zhou Xuanmen's Cloud Road was cut off on the spot, and he looked guardedly towards the black pillar.
The black pillar emitted the aura of a True God, this was undoubtedly the arrival of a powerful True God.
Without any noise, the black pillar changed and an inconspicuous grey-clothed man appeared in front of Zhou Xuanmen, this man was tall and straight, with a fierce temperament, emitting a strong reincarnation aura.
This man gradually approached Zhou Xuanmen, and as he approached, under his feet, continuous illusions of Reincarnation Seals emerged, rolling like a peculiar solid fountain, multiple Reincarnation Seal illusions bloomed like black lotuses, continuously unfolding and then retracting, retracting and then blooming again.
Surrounded by these continuously blooming and retracting Reincarnation Seal illusions, he looked very eerie.
Zhou Xuanmen couldn't help being on guard.
However, the man looked at Zhou Xuanmen, and his face gradually showed a friendly smile, "Is it Zhou Xuanmen Daoist in person?"
"Are you a True God from the Heavenly Court's Reincarnation System?" Zhou Xuanmen kept his eyes cautious, but relaxed on the surface, his Divine Sense subtly spread out to scout the surroundings, searching for other True Gods' aura.
The development of the situation seemed to have taken him by surprise, Xiao Mu's message had just come not long ago, and he had encountered a True God from Heavenly Court. What was terrifying was that the figure was unfamiliar, neither Guobao Divine Monarch nor the Lord of the Nether River, but a third True God.
"Senior Zhou, do not misunderstand."
The man waved his hand and showed a smiling, amiable face, "Although I am a True God from Heavenly Court and part of the Reincarnation System, I am not affiliated with the Heavenly Court that you know."
"I am loyal to Emperor Miaoyi, and the current Heavenly Court is our rival."
"Emperor Miaoyi?"
Hearing the name of Emperor Miaoyi, Zhou Xuanmen's guarded manner was slightly eased.
The man stood straight, his presence shaping like an ancient pine, nodded and said: "Heavenly Court has split, Emperor Taijia is one faction, Emperor Miaoyi is another."
"The Lord of the Nether River you know of, he has allied with Emperor Taijia as a Reincarnation True God, whereas I still follow Emperor Miaoyi."
"So, just like you, I too am an enemy of Heavenly Court."
Zhou Xuanmen's expression relaxed slightly, the apparent hostility also dissipated a bit, but his caution was still as usual.
After all, he is a powerful being who has lived for tens of thousands of years; he couldn't fully trust the other person just because of his words.
"How can you prove that you are a servant of Emperor Miaoyi and an enemy of Heavenly Court?"
"It seems Senior Zhou still doesn't trust me."
The man with the temperament of an ancient pine chuckled softly, his smile warming like a spring breeze, "Well then, fellow Daoist, do you recognize this object?"
As he spoke, he took something out from his storage space and spread open his palm, laying the object flat within it, face up.
The object shimmered, revealing itself to be a Yellow Paper Crane.
Zhou Xuanmen's gaze sharpened, focusing intently on the Yellow Paper Crane. He recognized it immediately from Xiao Mu's descriptions of the scenes along the Reincarnation Path and associated it with Emperor Miaoyi.
"Such an object cannot be easily faked. You can hold it in your hand and see for yourself," said the man with a pine-like demeanor. He then stretched his right hand forward, and the Yellow Paper Crane suddenly burst into Spiritual Light, spread its wings, and flew out of his palm toward Zhou Xuanmen.
Zhou Xuanmen cautiously stepped back and wrapped his hand with curse power before allowing the Yellow Paper Crane to land in his palm.
The Yellow Paper Crane transmitted a tremendously powerful reincarnation force that shocked him, akin to an enormous, boundless starry sea surging constantly. This overwhelming power seemed ready to burst forth at any moment, yet the seemingly ordinary yellow paper crane possessed powerful governing forces that contained the surging power within, preventing any leaks.
This paper crane truly belonged to Emperor Miaoyi; it was beyond the capabilities of ordinary people to create such a powerful object.
A thought flashed through Zhou Xuanmen's mind; upon seeing the paper crane, he grew significantly trusting of the man's identity.
"Fellow Daoist, what brings you to me?"
Zhou Xuanmen straightened his palm, let the curse power flow into it, and the Yellow Paper Crane took flight, returning to the man's hand.
"Allow me to introduce myself first; my last name is Wu and my first name is Yang, and I am the Lord of the City of the Unjustly Dead. I am here under the orders of Emperor Miaoyi to assist the human world."
"Emperor Miaoyi sent you to assist the human world?" Zhou Xuanmen expressed his surprise and a flicker of joy emerged in his heart.
Could it be that Emperor Miaoyi has taken an interest in the affairs of the human world and even sent the Lord of the City of the Unjustly Dead as support? Has he regained his powers?
Wu Yang nodded smilingly, "Not only does the Emperor know about the human world's situation, but he has also learned that the Lord of the Nether River plans to join forces with Guobao Divine Monarch to launch an attack on you. Thus, he sent me to aid you, to turn the hunt around."
Zhou Xuanmen joyfully said, "Truly a divine calculation by the Emperor. May I know, fellow Daoist, how we shall counter this hunt?"
Suddenly, Wu Yang switched to Divine Sense Communication, transmitting his ideas directly to Zhou Xuanmen through their divine senses.

"Has he really left? Just as expected... unreliable."
After notifying Zhou Xuanmen, Xiao Mu specifically visited Yu Wen'en's temple only to find that Yu Wen'en had moved away together with his temple from Canghua Mountain.
Despite having long understood that relying on Yu Wen'en to stand up against external forces was unrealistic, Xiao Mu felt disappointed.
He stood for a moment, looking at where Yu Wen'en's temple used to be, before finally deciding to walk away.
He didn't regret aiding Yu Wen'en; after all, he was still a resident of the human world. Though not standing directly with him against outside forces, he hasn't sided with them either and remained a potential ally.
Furthermore, with shared enemies, Xiao Mu believed that Yu Wen'en, sooner or later, would stand with the human world against the Heavenly Court.
Upon returning to his temporary residence, Xiao Mu continued his cultivation, seeking to strengthen himself. During this period, he specifically practiced the Authority Techniques "Hellgate Opening" and "One-stroke life and death" to refine his mastery over these techniques for use against enemies.
One day, Xiao Mu felt fluctuations within his Seal of the Heavenly Emperor, quickly released it, and amidst its pulsations under a golden glow, the Supreme Intention surged within the Seal, and the white vapors completely filled the humanoid illusion.
"My 'The King's Enthronement Technique' has advanced to the second Divine Spirit Level; I have now acquired the ability to strip realms and Divine Treasures from Divine Spirits not higher than myself in realm. It seems Zheng Yunlei has already distributed all the estates and Divine Treasures I gave him."
"Very good, excellent indeed! It appears relying on an Alliance indeed enables faster enhancement of strengths."
The sudden enhancement of the King's Authority Sealing Technique overjoyed Xiao Mu, but before his joy subsided, his Divine Sense perceived a disturbance, sensing someone trying to contact him through Divine Form.
