Jiang Huaigu said, "The imprisonment location of the Five Elements Ancestor is at the other end of the Small World, separated by tens of thousands of miles of road from here, which takes several months to traverse."

"Is the Respected Envoy in a hurry to go there? If not in a hurry, I can have Jiang Yun take you."

Tens of thousands of miles, that's not too bad. With my Escape Art, I can be there in just a day or two.

Given the long journey, Xiao Mu changed his mind and decided not to have someone lead the way.

Xiao Mu smiled and said, "I will use my Escape Art. I'll be quick to go and quick to return, so there's no need to trouble Brother Jiang to guide me. Just tell me the location, Elder."

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Huaigu stretched out his hand to point southward, "Respected Envoy, proceed in this direction and keep heading south. After ten thousand miles, you'll come across a Great Mountain. Over that mountain, then turn toward the southeast, and after another ten thousand miles, you will see an expanse of Chaos. Inside the Chaos lies the Sealed Land of the Five Elements Ancestor."

As he spoke, he added, "Are you sure you don't need a guide, Respected Envoy? The road is rugged, and you may not be able to smoothly find the Five Elements Ancestor's Sealed Land."

"Thank you for your kind offer, Elder, but it's really not necessary."

Xiao Mu politely refused. Jiang Yun didn't know any Escape Art; taking him would be too slow and delay things.

After a moment of thought, he asked again, "Elder, can I ask what the Five Elements Ancestor's Sealed Land looks like? Has it ever been opened?"

"Never!"

Jiang Huaigu shook his head, "The Five Elements Ancestor's Sealed Land is located within a mass of Chaos, and it is a Great Array."

"The Great Array is inside the Chaos, concealed by it."

"The power of Chaos fluctuates. Every few years, it becomes weak and thin, and at such times, it is the best opportunity to approach the Great Array."

"The Five Elements Ancestor is sealed within the Great Array, which can only be broken from the outside. Thus, unless someone from outside comes to rescue the Five Elements Ancestor, he can never get out."

As he spoke, a sense of curiosity suddenly arose in old man Jiang Huaigu, "Why does the Respected Envoy suddenly want to deal with the Five Elements Ancestor? As long as the Great Array within the depth of Chaos is not broken, he poses no threat to anyone."

Xiao Mu already had an excuse prepared, "The threat from the Five Elements Ancestor to the True Eastern Realm is too great. It is only by eliminating him early that we can put people at ease. Otherwise, once he re-emerges, the calamity he brings upon the True Eastern Realm would be beyond imagination."

"The Respected Envoy speaks wisely!" old man Jiang Huaigu nodded, acknowledging that what Xiao Mu said made sense.

At that moment, outside the courtyard, suddenly a Green Light descended from the sky.

"Respected Envoy Xiao, please wait a moment; I will go to receive a message and return shortly."

Jiang Yun gave Xiao Mu a nod and stood up, walking toward the courtyard.

It wasn't long before he returned, holding a Pure White Jade Stone in his hand, his face grim.

"Little Yun, what happened?"

The expression of Elder Jiang Huaigu grew serious, and he straightened up, finally showing the bearing of the head of a clan.

"Grandfather, it's a message from Bai Village. A successor of the Five Elements Sect has entered our world, apparently to free the Five Elements Ancestor. Villagers from Bai Village have already been killed."

Jiang Yun held the Pure White Jade Stone in his hand and injected power into it.

The radiant white jade emitted light, displaying a cluster of characters in the air: Alert all villages, a successor of the Five Elements Sect has entered our world, suspected of coming to release the Five Elements Ancestor, villagers have been killed—Bai Village.

Five Elements Sect!

Xiao Mu's heart trembled violently; the people from the Five Elements Sect had also entered!

"It's people from the Five Elements Sect!"

"The people from the Five Elements Sect have entered, they are here to free the Five Elements Ancestor."

"Oh heavens, once the Five Elements Ancestor is out, it is the end of the world, we will not survive!"

The Village Elders were shocked, thrown into panic, creating a commotion.

Old man Jiang Huaigu remained relatively calm. He turned his head to look at Xiao Mu, "Did Respected Envoy Xiao know that people from the Five Elements Sect were going to enter our world?"

"I had heard some intel beforehand, but I did not know that the people from the Five Elements Sect would come at this time. Elder, where is Bai Village located in relation to the imprisonment location of the Five Elements Ancestor, is it far?"

The entry of the Five Elements Sect's people alerted Xiao Mu. His eyes became increasingly sharp, and for both public and private reasons, he must prevent them from freeing the Five Elements Ancestor.

Perhaps, he didn't have time to wait for the weakening of the Chaos Power, but he could thwart the release of the Five Elements Ancestor by assassinating the members of the Five Elements Sect who had entered this world.

A murderous intent surged within Xiao Mu's heart.

"Bai Village is three thousand miles to the north, farther away from the Five Elements Ancestor's Sealed Land than Jiang Village."

The words of Elder Jiang Huaigu reassured Xiao Mu.

The people from the Five Elements Sect couldn't possibly reach the Five Elements Ancestor's Sealed Land faster than him.

Xiao Mu stood up, bowed to the villagers, and said his farewells, "Esteemed Elders, Brother Jiang, I must depart now. The Five Elements Sect people have entered this world with the purpose of freeing the Five Elements Ancestor, and I must go to stop them."

Old man Jiang Huaigu and others stood up, attempting to retain him, hoping that Xiao Mu would stay in the village for the night.

Their appreciation for Xiao Mu deepened as they sensed his anxiety after receiving the information about the Five Elements Sect and began to regard him as one of their own.

"No need, Village Chief Elder, esteemed Elders, and Brother Jiang. After I leave, please inform the other villages, spread the message that Xiao Mu has entered this world and is already on his way to the Sealed Land. If the people from the Five Elements Sect trouble you, or any other villagers, let them come to me and tell them that it takes no bravery to kill defenseless villagers, and if they dare, they should come find me, Xiao Mu."

Xiao Mu was very cautious, considering all the possibilities after the people from the Five Elements Sect entered this world, and worried they would cause trouble for the Ancient Remnants, he made arrangements ahead of time.

The villagers led by Jiang Huaigu were moved, with some elders shedding tears.

Old man Jiang Huaigu voiced his concern for Xiao Mu's safety, "Respected Envoy Xiao, the Five Elements Ancestor is a legendary True God, immensely powerful, capable of battling even the Lord of White Mansion."
