"Qiao Hu, are you saying that you and Lan Jun received Xiao Mu's information, and Lan Jun, ignoring dissuasion, went to look for Xiao Mu alone?"
Within the Sealed Land, at a certain place, a man clad in white robes, who appeared to be only about twenty years old, questioned Qiao Hu in the tone of a superior.
Around the two men stood five or six Mutated Beings of the Five Elements Sect Divine Spirits, all of whom were solemn.
"That's right."
Qiao Hu was very respectful and careful with his words.
This white-robed man, although young-looking, was in the current Five Elements Sect a major figure second only to the Five Spirits God—Luo Zhan.
"Luo Zhan is at the Early Stage of the True God Realm and also the leader of their operation this time."
Strange, how did Xiao Mu get in?
Luo Zhan felt slightly curious about how Xiao Mu had entered the Sealed Land, but his focus was clearly not on this matter.
Immediately after, his face darkened, "What kind of strength does Xiao Mu possess? He even killed the city deity of Tai Cang; don't you all know? What strength does Lan Jun have to seek out Xiao Mu alone, isn't that akin to seeking death? Did you not try to persuade him?"
Fearing Luo Zhan, Qiao Hu hurriedly defended himself, "Respected Envoy Luo, at that time I advised Lan Jun multiple times not to seek out Xiao Mu alone, but he believed that Xiao Mu was merely overrated, and insisted on capturing Xiao Mu by himself."
"Arrogant fool!"
Luo Zhan swore under his breath, obviously aware of what kind of person Lan Jun was, "Enough. Lan Jun brought this upon himself; you're not to blame."
"Tell me about Xiao Mu. Where is he, and what are his plans? How much information do you have on him?"
"Yes, Respected Envoy Luo."
Qiao Hu breathed a sigh of relief and responded with respect, "The information about Xiao Mu, I heard it from the mouths of the remnants."
He then proceeded to share everything he had heard about Xiao Mu.
After listening, Luo Zhan pondered, "This Xiao Mu sounds quite arrogant, to actually be waiting for us at Kui Mountain. I get it, he fears that we will kill the remnants, deliberately provoking us with a reverse psychology tactic, womanly kindness!"
Luo Zhan was extremely shrewd; in just a moment, he guessed Xiao Mu's thoughts and showed disdain for Xiao Mu's approach.
Then, he chuckled, "However, we cannot let down our guard, who knows if Xiao Mu doesn't have some scheming plot."
"The Ancestor will only emerge three days later; before that, there's no harm in playing along with Xiao Mu."
"He is a person specifically requested by the Emperor; capturing him would be a great merit."
"Since he has invited us to find him at Kui Mountain, what's the harm in going there to look for him?"
"However, to prevent Xiao Mu from having devious schemes, we still need to be well-prepared in advance. Mo Ling."
Mo Ling, a woman who looked to be in her thirties, of ordinary appearance and slightly plump build, stepped forward upon hearing her name and bowed to Luo Zhan, "Envoy, please give your orders."
"Try to contact the other sect members and see who is near Kui Mountain. If there is someone near Kui Mountain, have them go and scout out Xiao Mu's situation, but remember, Xiao Mu is not without merit; he has the strength to kill the deity of Tai Cang."
"Let our people gather information only; do not let Xiao Mu discover them, and certainly do not approach him."
"As you command!"
Mo Ling agreed and began to contact the scattered members of the Five Elements Sect.

In the Human World, at the station in Twilight Forest Village.
Zhou Xuanmen, Divine Monarch Wu De, the Envoys, Zhao Qian, and other Mutated Beings who had recently arrived from the human world were gathered around a table.
On that table was placed a small piece of Chaos Soil.
Currently, only Zhao Qian was busy over the table, taking out a dozen or so Command Tokens from his Storage Space and placing them around the Chaos Soil.
Suddenly, as the Command Tokens were placed, Brilliance emerged from the Chaos Soil, shooting upward and forming a blurry projection.
After all the Command Tokens were put in place, the projection became clearer.
Now, one could see the projection of a Gray Space, where little points of light began to illuminate.
Zhao Qian breathed a sigh of relief, stepping back from the table as everyone's gaze turned toward him. He quickly explained to Zhou Xuanmen, "Grand Elder Zhou, this is as far as I can manage. The Chaos Soil is too scarce to produce a clear image, we can only get a rough idea."
Zhou Xuanmen glanced at Zhao Qian without saying anything, but his look was somewhat displeased, "Enough, explain what these projections represent."
"Yes!"
Zhao Qian replied with a joyous expression as Zhou Xuanmen's words indicated a temporary acceptance of his effort, at least sparing him from immediate accountability for sending Xiao Mu into the Ancestor's Forbidden Area of the Five Elements.
Pointing to the image in the air, he said, "Grand Elder Zhou, this gray space is the projection of the Sealed Land, it represents the entire Sealed Land."
"Can every part of the Sealed Land be seen?" Zhou Xuanmen suddenly asked.
"Except for places sealed with Creation Power and Chaos Power, all can be seen," Zhao Qian responded, somewhat nervously.
His capabilities were limited and the Chaos Soil was not omnipotent; it could only reflect ordinary regions, and special regions blocked by Creation Power and Chaos Power were impossible to reveal with such a small piece of Chaos Soil.
Yet when answering, he still couldn't help feeling anxious, worried that Zhou Xuanmen might blame him.
Giving the circumstances, this was the best he could do.
Zhou Xuanmen nodded, not reprimanding Zhao Qian; as his abilities were mediocre, there was no point in expecting too much from him.
"What about these points of light?"
Zhou Xuanmen then turned his attention to the points of light within the Gray Space. These points were curious; most were faint white dots, indistinct, like distant stars in the night sky.
