Upon returning to his station, Xiao Mu bid farewell and went back to his own residence.
The first thing he did upon returning was to sort through his gains. Because he had not used the Creation Axe to strip the square-faced Thunder God of his divine standing, this time he had acquired three of Thunder God's treasures—Lei Gong's Thunderous Attack, the Eight Tribulations Silver Wind Crown, and the Eight Tribulations Silver Wind Robe—as well as the Land God's Treasure Land Geography Chronicles, the Purple Sun Silver Mist Crown, Purple Sun Silver Mist Boots, Purple Sun Silver Mist Robe, and other treasures of the Land God.
Unfortunately, the square-faced Thunder God arrived too quickly, causing Xiao Mu to miss the opportunity to strip away the command of the land.
However, none of these really mattered. Being able to gain three Divine Spirit Level treasures and four Yin God Level treasures at once, Xiao Mu considered this a huge haul.
He utilized the King's Authority Sealing Technique to transform the seven Strange Treasures.
Holding the seven transformed Divine Treasures, Xiao Mu was eager to continue cultivating the King's Authority Sealing Technique.
Once he advances again, he would be able to use the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor to strip divine standings from Divine Spirits not higher than his own realm, thus avoiding situations like facing the square-faced Thunder God and being unable to strip away his standing without relying on the Creation Axe.
The Creation Axe consumed a lot, and only about one-third of the Creation Power remained within it. Xiao Mu decided to use it sparingly unless he encountered strong enemies or emergency situations.
Next, Xiao Mu looked into the void and through a strand of his own hair, he faintly sensed the location of Li Gujian.
※※※
"The situation with the Li family was tricky, unexpectedly involving the Land God and the Thunder God. If Brother Mu had not arrived with me, the consequences would have been unimaginable. Fortunately, everything went smoothly, and all matters have been handled."
Having successfully taken care of the aftermath for the Li family and erased Li Yu's memory, Li Gujian used an Escape Art to return to the Zhao Family alone.
"Xiao Li, meet me at the temple."
Suddenly, Xiao Mu's Divine Sense Communication came through the hair curled around Li Gujian's right index finger.
"Yes, Brother Mu," Li Gujian responded respectfully and quickly, heart trembling.
Accelerating his Escape Speed, he wrapped his figure in the Earth Escape Technique like a yellow dragon, returning to Zhao Jingyan's house in just over an hour.
Ascending the tower, he headed to the room where Xiao Mu's Divine Presence was located.
"Brother Mu, Xiao Li pays respects to Brother Mu!" Li Gujian composed himself, then bent forward to greet the Divine Presence with respect.
"No need to be formal, Xiao Li, please sit down!" Xiao Mu's Divine Sense appeared above the Divine Presence, instructing Li Gujian to take a seat in a very amiable manner.
"Thank you, Brother Mu!"
Li Gujian expressed his gratitude with the utmost respect and then retreated to one of the chairs to sit down.
"Xiao Li, how did things go with the Li family? Is Li Yu alright?" As expected by Li Gujian, Xiao Mu's first words were inquires about the Li family's situation.
Straightening up, Li Gujian reported: "Brother Mu, the Li family is all well, as is Li Yu. After Brother Mu left, I had someone clean up the Li family's home, erasing all traces of battle so as not to be seen by ordinary people, which could lead to unnecessary speculation."
"After Li Yu woke up, I used a Secret Art to erase his memory of the battle, which should not cause any issues later on."
"That was well handled."
Xiao Mu casually praised. Amidst the smoke of the Incense Fire, his voice, filled with a sacred atmosphere, came out as Divine Sense from the smoke, "Had you not provided the information, I would not have been able to kill the Heavenly Court's Land God and find the Heavenly Court's Thunder God and kill them as well."
Brother Mu even killed the Thunder God that appeared later!
Li Gujian felt a stir in his heart; although Xiao Mu's words were expected, hearing them firsthand was still shocking.
But Xiao Mu said: "The information you provided this time was extremely important, both to me and to the Alliance. Therefore, I have decided to reward you. I will give you all the treasures I stripped from the slain Land God for your own use."
"Ah~, Brother Mu, you... you're going to give me all the treasures of that Land God?"
Li Gujian exclaimed out loud, his mouth agape in disbelief.
Xiao Mu had anticipated Li Gujian's reaction and calmly stated: "There's no need to be surprised; these are rightfully yours. Serve the Alliance and me with dedication in the future, and there will be more rewards for you."
"Yes, Brother Mu, thank you so much. I, Li Gujian, swear that in this life, I shall be loyal to Brother Mu and the Alliance, devoting myself entirely to Brother Mu and the Alliance's service."
Upon hearing this, Li Gujian became incredibly excited, making a series of pledges on the spot.
"If you think like this, then it was not in vain that I bestowed the treasures upon you. Take them."
Xiao Mu silently nodded. The Incense Fire surged in front of the Divine Presence, and several treasures of the Land God flew out from his hand, one by one landing in front of Li Gujian.
The four exclusive Divine Treasures of the Land God hovered in mid-air, emitting their unique dark light that left Li Gujian's heart in turmoil.
Although he already knew which treasures Xiao Mu had presented, seeing them with his own eyes was still deeply shocking.
Seeing so many treasures at once, Xiao Li became excited, haha!
Seeing Li Gujian's state, Xiao Mu smiled knowingly, his Divine Sense directly retired from the Divine Presence and returned to his own body.
He patiently waited, and after about fifteen minutes, he sensed changes within his Seal of the Heavenly Emperor.
Li Gujian's assimilation of the Divine Treasures had once again enhanced his cultivation of the King's Authority Sealing Technique, causing white mist to begin filling the base of the human form's illusory head.
Continuing this way, it would not be difficult for his head to be fully suffused with white mist.
After some tidying up, Xiao Mu contacted Zhu Yunlei at the Headquarters's Logistics Department, this time using a cellphone.
