"Is this Kui Mountain? According to the message sent by Mo Ling, Xiao Mu is on this mountain."

At the foot of Kui Mountain, a man in his early thirties, wearing a blue casual jacket and draped with the Brilliance of the Five Elements, looked up at Kui Mountain.

"Xiao Mu has a notorious reputation, and not long ago, he killed Lan Jun. I can't take him lightly when facing him; it's best to just scout from a distance."

The man seemed prudent, muttering to himself in a low voice when he suddenly produced a Five Elements Talisman.

The man slapped the Five Elements Talisman onto himself with a swift motion of his hand.

The Brilliance of the Five Elements suddenly exploded, releasing a mist of the Five Elements, which instantly concealed his figure.

Then, the mist enveloped the man's shape and he completely disappeared from sight.

"The Five Elements Invisibility Talisman is really useful. Once used, it forms a Five Elements Divine Array around me, which can thoroughly conceal my form. As long as I don't reveal myself, my trace will be covered by the authority of the Five Elements and go unnoticed."

"Now I can climb the mountain with ease. Xiao Mu is on this mountain. I'll just examine the situation and leave without engaging him."

The man abandoned the Escape Art, using his bodily movement techniques to start climbing.

Whoo whoo!

The Black Wind blew over, its devastating force caused hearts to tremble, and the man from the Five Elements Sect quickly dodged using his movements.

The Black Wind blew past the man.

Looking back at the Black Wind, the Five Elements Sect man broke out in a cold sweat.

This Black Wind is too powerful; as it blows past, all living beings in its path turn to ash.

"This Black Wind is terrifying. I don't know its origin, but I must avoid it in advance if I see it."

The Five Elements Sect man continued to climb with caution.

"When will the people from the Five Elements Sect come?"

Halfway up the slope, Xiao Mu sat on a large bluestone, looking down the mountain.

His climbing speed wasn't fast, as his main focus was on waiting for people from the Five Elements Sect.

The divine corpse on Kui Mountain was always there. If he couldn't lure the Five Elements Sect to Kui Mountain, his loss would be huge.

"Black Wind, why did it suddenly appear?"

At that moment, Xiao Mu suddenly widened his eyes and looked down the mountain. There, he saw a Black Wind suddenly appearing and blowing down the mountain.

"Does the Black Wind appear without reason?"

Divine light shone from Xiao Mu's eyes as he intently stared at the place where the Black Wind had just disappeared downhill.

This is not right, the Black Wind wouldn't appear for no reason; its presence means someone is climbing up the mountain.

"Could it be, people from the Five Elements Sect have arrived?"

Xiao Mu stood up and carefully observed the spot where the Black Wind had just blown past. There, he saw no trace of anyone.

"No one? That's not right, the people from Five Elements Sect must have used some technique to hide their tracks."

"Such a powerful method, it even conceals them from my Spiritual Eye."

Xiao Mu specifically activated his Spiritual Eye to observe the location where the Black Wind had been, but to no avail.

The area was empty; he saw nothing.

"If it's truly someone from the Five Elements Sect, why would they conceal their tracks?"

Xiao Mu couldn't help but speculate. After a moment, the reason dawned on him, "I get it, this person must have come to scout my situation but fears being discovered by me."

"Perhaps, the news of Lan Jun's death has already spread back, and the people of the Five Elements Sect realize my strength."

"The person who came to scout must not be very strong, and the numbers are likely not many either. If they were stronger than me, there would be no need for stealth; a direct confrontation would suffice."

"This implies that the people from the Five Elements Sect are actually very cautious; the main force hasn't arrived yet, and they have first sent someone to investigate my status."

All sorts of speculations surfaced in Xiao Mu's mind, quickly allowing him to judge his next course of action.

"The people from the Five Elements Sect want to thoroughly understand my situation, but I can't let them succeed."

Xiao Mu's lips curled into a slight smile, as he released Emperor's Might, and then his figure immediately sank into the ground.

Utilizing the Great Decree in concert with the Earth Escape Technique, he could avoid the Black Wind and also evade the Five Elements Sect's investigation while moving underground.

Xiao Mu moved beneath the ground, heading towards the spot where the Black Wind had just blown.

Even underground, with the combination of the Earth Escape Technique and Heavenly Emperor's Might, Xiao Mu's speed was still very fast.

Before long, he reached the vicinity of where the Black Wind had just passed.

Xiao Mu did not emerge from the ground; instead, he only released his Divine Sense to scrutinize the surroundings.

After a while, Xiao Mu was disappointed; the nearby area seemed empty, and his Divine Sense did not detect anyone's presence.

"This person's method of concealment is quite exquisite. Are they still nearby?"

The failed detection left Xiao Mu anxious, but he remained in place without continuing his escape technique.

Thinking of the Black Wind, his mood inadvertently relaxed.

Perhaps, the person from the Five Elements Sect hidden in the shadows could avoid his detection but not the Black Wind.

The Black Wind was his opportunity.

Continuing to release his Divine Sense, he extended it outward. This Divine Sense was kept close to the ground, not only avoiding the Divine Sense of the individual from the Five Elements Sect but also alert for nearby movements.

Whoo whoo!

Before long, not far up the western slope, a Black Wind blew from the mountain top down the mountain.

"That person is nearby!"

Xiao Mu focused on the location the Black Wind had just blown over and couldn't help but feel elated.

The person from the Five Elements Sect who was hidden had indeed avoided his scouting, but the Black Wind had made them reveal their location.

Then, Xiao Mu began pondering again, "But even if I know the person is nearby, what can I do? Their concealment is too good. As long as they don't show themselves, I can't touch them."
