"Furthermore, this person came to probe my whereabouts. If they don't send back their findings, will the people of the Five Elements Sect come?"

"If the people of the Five Elements Sect don't come, then my plan will have failed."

"But how can I both lure this hidden member of the Five Elements Sect to reveal themselves and draw the other sect members here?"

Unwilling to accept failure, Xiao Mu furrowed his brows in contemplation for a countermeasure.

Moments later, his eyes brightened and he suddenly launched into an Escape Art, tunneling underground towards the distance.

This time, he moved in the opposite direction to the concealed male of the Five Elements Sect, intentionally increasing the distance between them.

He wanted to test an idea; one that could entice the man from the Five Elements Sect to show himself and also attract the rest of the sect members.

Xiao Mu's speed with his Escape Art was swift, and it wasn't long before he had put a significant distance between himself and the hidden man from the Five Elements Sect.

Considering that the Five Elements Sect man had not used the Five Elements Escaping Technique (which would produce noticeable disturbances when used), Xiao Mu was certain the man could not possibly follow him here.

Moreover, as the hidden man from the Five Elements Sect had evidently not discovered his whereabouts, there was even less chance that he could be tracking him now.

Xiao Mu emerged from underground, appearing on the surface.

He waited with some unease in his heart.

Whooosh!

Before long, the Black Wind appeared, blowing directly towards Xiao Mu himself.

"I hope nothing goes wrong!"

As he watched the Black Wind approach, Xiao Mu's figure suddenly split; the Changeable Divine Technique was used, leaving a decoy in place while his true body sank into the ground to hide.

Whooosh!

The Black Wind swept over the decoy of Xiao Mu.

Bang!

Xiao Mu's decoy popped like a bubble upon contact with the Black Wind and exploded on the spot.

"No good, the Black Wind is too powerful and the decoy too fragile."

A short while later, Xiao Mu re-emerged from underground, looking at where the decoy had been destroyed by the Black Wind, his brows furrowing deeply.

The plan had failed, but fortunately, the might of the Black Wind had not affected his true body through the decoy.

Continue planning.

He needed the decoy to withstand the Black Wind without bursting and ideally appear injured after being blown upon.

He planned to use the illusion of injury to entice the concealed Mutated Being of the Five Elements Sect to reveal themselves, and also hoped that the hidden members of the Five Elements Sect would convey the false news of his injuries back to their group.

Only by doing so would the remaining members of the Five Elements Sect be emboldened to come to Kui Mountain to capture him.

"Perhaps, I could try using Emperor Authority, the power of Creation."

As Xiao Mu pondered further, he quickly conceived a new approach.

He continued to stand in place, waiting for the Black Wind to return.

Whooosh!

The Black Wind did not appear frequently, taking about seven to eight minutes between each occurrence.

About eight minutes passed, and another gust of Black Wind blew from the mountain towards Xiao Mu downslope.

"Now is the time!"

As he watched the Black Wind drawing nearer and about to hit him, Xiao Mu again replicated a decoy in his place, while his true self tunneled underground, leaving Emperor's Might onto the decoy by covering it in an invisible layer.

Whooosh!

Yet, surprisingly, the Black Wind seemed to sense the presence of the Creation Power and became inexplicably ferocious, its intensity seemingly increasing by more than tenfold in a blink.

The emergence of Creation Power sent the already fearsome Black Wind into a frenzy.

Bang!

The decoy created by Xiao Mu was instantly blown apart, lasting even shorter in the Black Wind than the previous one.

"How could this be?"

Xiao Mu, who had emerged from underground, stared at the still-turbulent Black Wind in a daze.

The Black Wind seemed to bear a grudge against Creation, raging wildly upon encountering it.

"Fine, it seems I cannot use Creation; I will try the Heavenly Emperor's Might instead."

Xiao Mu gave up on using Creation Power and decided to try the Emperor's Might.

This time, he preemptively covered his body with the Emperor's Might and concealed it, remaining in the same spot waiting for the Black Wind to approach.

About another eight minutes passed.

Whooosh!

The Black Wind blew from the ridge to the valley, towards Xiao Mu.

As the Black Wind closed in, Xiao Mu created another decoy, and as his true self went underground, he left the Emperor's Might on the decoy, covering its form with a layer.

Whooosh!

The Black Wind passed over the decoy, and Heavenly Emperor's Might erupted, strands of golden glow bursting forth from the decoy's body, expanding like an invisible golden shield, resisting the oncoming Black Wind.

The golden glow temporarily held off the Black Wind.

However, frustrated by the resistance, the Black Wind grew angrier and more violent.

Whooosh whooosh!

The Black Wind intensified.

The golden glow of the Heavenly Emperor's Might continued to shine, but as it became embroiled in a stalemate with the Black Wind, the unreplenished might of the Heavenly Emperor was gradually diminished, while the Black Wind kept amassing.

Crackle!

After several seconds, the golden glow finally broke, and the Black Wind penetrated, sweeping off the right arm of Xiao Mu's decoy, which then dispersed into dust.

"Haha!"

Xiao Mu could not help but laugh out loud in elation.

The Heavenly Emperor's Might was indeed effective; using it, he could finally accomplish his plan.

He waved his hand, striking the decoy with a burst of power.

The golden glow covering the decoy was retracted, and with a loud bang, the decoy collapsed within the Black Wind.

Whooosh whooosh!

The sound of the Black Wind came again, which suddenly became more violent, revealing its agitation.
