What are they going to do?

Xiao Mu suddenly felt puzzled.

Carefully observing, searching for an opportunity to launch a surprise attack, it didn't take long for Xiao Mu to frown.

After being ambushed by him once, these people from the Five Elements Sect had become extremely cautious.

The remaining twelve people were climbing in a ring formation, with the weakest among them encircled in the very center.

The strong ones stayed on the outside.

In this way, it became much more difficult for him to launch a surprise attack.

Unless he could also kill the strong ones on the periphery in one strike, otherwise a slight mistake, a moment's delay, would lead to being surrounded and attacked.

Xiao Mu scrutinized the positions of the people from the Five Elements Sect.

At this moment, among the people from the Five Elements Sect, the three in the True God Realm were on the periphery, arranged in an equilateral triangle.

Between these three True Gods were four Divine Spirits, forming a square shape, positioned slightly more towards the center than the True Gods, with five from the Yin God Realm in the innermost.

The twelve people were divided into three groups, standing in a three-layered lotus formation.

Among the seven strong ones on the outside, neither the three True Gods nor the four Divine Spirits were easy opponents to deal with.

The manageable five from the Yin God Realm were all in the middle, protected.

"The Five Elements Sect has capable people, this Luo Zhan has strong organizational skills."

When mentioning Luo Zhan, Xiao Mu didn't glance at the other party.

True Gods were highly sensitive to perception; even if his gaze was restrained, it might still be sensed as abnormal by the others.

"You think this can pose a difficulty to me?"

Xiao Mu smiled, the Emperor's Might surged from his body and suddenly plunged into the ground.

※※※

"Just now, I communicated with the Five Spirits Divine Spirit, this Kui Mountain is extraordinary, it was one of the battlefields where our ancestors fought with Bai Jing."

As he walked, Luo Zhan spoke via voice transmission, telling the other sect members, "It is said that during that Great War, the Creation Heavenly King, Chaos Heavenly Monarch, Primordial Emperor, and Hongmeng were all involved behind the scenes."

"The Five Spirits Divine Spirit suggests that we explore what's on Kui Mountain, to see if there are any relics left behind by the Ancient Heavenly Gods."

Ancient Heavenly God relics!

Upon hearing this, all members of the Five Elements Sect were energized.

This was definitely startling news; the Ancient Heavenly Gods referred to powerful beings like Creation, Primordial, Hongmeng, Chaos, whose strengths, in theory, surpassed even the four major Heavenly Gods.

Their relics, how could they be of trifling importance?

Xiao Mu got hold of a lower-tier Ancient Heavenly God Treasure, the Creation Axe, and was invincible, the True Gods couldn't do anything to him.

If his side could find a true relic of the Ancient Heavenly Gods, what would that mean for them?

What kind of advancement would it bring to their status and power?

For a moment, everyone's heart was filled with intense anticipation.

The relics of the Ancient Heavenly Gods were incredibly alluring to the Mutated Beings.

"I wonder if Xiao Mu will come again."

Bai Su'e looked at the formation and suddenly said.

"Now, with our formation set up like this, it would be extremely difficult for Xiao Mu to launch a surprise attack. But my concern is precisely because of this, Xiao Mu might not show up at all, too afraid to attempt an ambush."

Luo Zhan fell silent.

What Bai Su'e said made some sense.

The formation he had set could indeed protect their weaker members from Xiao Mu's sudden ambush, but at the same time, if Xiao Mu became afraid and didn't show up, it wouldn't be a good thing.

"Let's move ahead and see, if Xiao Mu doesn't show up, then we'll think of another plan."

"Qin Zhong, always be ready, you cannot let down your guard. And Su E, you must not stop probing either."

"Old Luo, are you underestimating me? When have I, Qin Zhong, ever slipped up in my tasks? If you can't trust anyone, you still have to trust me."

Qin Zhong retorted with a hint of dissatisfaction.

"Hope so," replied Luo Zhan, not really taking it to heart. Qin Zhong was powerful and held a high position, his words carried weight, and Luo Zhan naturally couldn't treat him like the others.

"Su E, have you not sensed any anomalies?"

Bai Su'e furrowed her brow, "Speaking of anomalies, there indeed was one. Not long ago, I felt a slight unease. I deliberately probed with my Divine Sense but failed to find where this unease came from, nor did I detect Xiao Mu's presence. Moreover, the unease quickly disappeared."

Luo Zhan's expression immediately grew grave, "Perhaps Xiao Mu is probing us from afar; we must remain vigilant. Everyone, be on alert, Xiao Mu could appear at any moment."

The last sentence was spoken to everyone. Upon hearing this, all members of the Five Elements Sect tensed up, each becoming vigilant.

The five in the Yin God Realm at the center, being the weakest, were now extremely nervous.

The sight of Xiao Mu attacking Qiao Hu was still fresh in their memories, brutally relentless.

The one who could instantly kill Qiao Hu could also kill me in an instant.

"Damn, something's not right, everyone be careful."

Bai Su'e's face suddenly changed, warning everyone through transmitted voice.

"Everyone, gather in the center!"

The first to receive the message, Luo Zhan hastily commanded everyone.

Members of the Five Elements Sect, upon hearing the order, did not hesitate to converge towards the center, assembling together.

Woo woo!

A gust of Black Wind suddenly appeared on the high slope, blowing downwards towards the people.

"It's Black Wind!"

The crowd was stunned.

Luo Zhan was the first to realize something and he sternly reminded everyone, "That's the Black Wind mentioned by Pu Wu, everyone be careful, don't try to withstand it head-on!"

Woo woo!

The Black Wind blew down from the slope, swiftly reaching in front of everyone.

The members of the Five Elements Sect hurriedly dodged, causing their formation to immediately fall into disorder, some moving east, some moving west.

The second person to dodge the Black Wind, Bai Su'e's face suddenly changed dramatically as an unprecedented intense sense of crisis surged within her.

At this moment, the sense of danger was so fierce that Bai Su'e didn't even have time to report to Luo Zhan before she loudly warned everyone, "Be careful! Xiao…"

Whoosh!

Just as Bai Su'e's words left her lips, a figure wrapped in Golden Light suddenly burst out from the ground.

The moment this figure appeared, a Golden Light surged from its hand, and the huge Yama Hammer materialized in the air.

The Yama Hammer struck down from the sky, drawing a beautiful arc, and with a bang, it smashed onto the head of a male at the peak of the Divine Spirit Realm.

Blood Light splattered, and amid the laughter, Xiao Mu reached out and collected the man's Corpse into the Earth Seal Space.

"Thanks!"

Whizz whizz whizz!

The Five-color Escape Light lit up, and Xiao Mu transformed into an Escape Light and fled up the mountain.

"It's Xiao Mu!"

"Xiao Mu has emerged again!"

"Xiao Mu killed Qin Liang!"

"Chase him!"

The members of the Five Elements Sect roared, grieved by the death of their companion, some instinctively wanting to pursue.

"Stop! Stop! Look clearly, that's Xiao Mu, can you even catch up with him!"

Luo Zhan shouted in a timely manner, stopping all those who wanted to chase.

The strength of Xiao Mu's Escape Art was something everyone had witnessed before; was there any chance of catching up with him?

The members of the Five Elements Sect who were intending to chase stopped, some feeling dejected, some caught in deep worry.

Luo Zhan did not pay attention to these people, who were not strong enough at heart, deeming it unnecessary to care or explain.

Turning his head, he looked at Old Qin, "Old Qin, did you capture it?"

Old Qin nodded firmly, "Captured. That Xiao Mu is heading up the mountain. Now, probably seeing that we are not chasing, he is turning east and the Escape Speed has slowed down."

While saying this, the person took out a palm-sized, five-colored Disc resembling a feng shui master's compass, yet distinctly different.

This compass is divided into five sections, each a different color, with a Five Elements needle in the center, made entirely of True Five Elements Power and is the Five Elements Heaven Pointing Needle.

This needle is adept at capturing a person's breath; once someone's breath is captured, their location is locked, and no matter where they go, they can be tracked by the person holding the Five Elements Heaven Pointing Needle.

"Excellent!"

Luo Zhan was overjoyed and clapped his hands, "This time, Xiao Mu can't escape."

"Old Qin, you lead the way at the front. Everyone, follow me to capture Xiao Mu. This time, it's our turn to catch him off guard."

"Follow me, everyone!"

Old Qin laughed heartily and moved to the front, with Luo Zhan following closely behind.

"Respected Envoy Luo, aren't we setting up the formation?"

Someone in the crowd asked, it was Mo Ling from the Five Elements Sect.

"No need. Now that we know Xiao Mu's location, setting up a formation would be pointless."

Luo Zhan waved his hand, still cautiously instructing, "However, we can't go without any precautions. Everyone can disperse, but don't spread out too much, maintain a formation that can return to the previous setup at any time. The weaker ones stay inside, the stronger ones on the outside."

"When we catch up with Xiao Mu and truly engage in battle, you might not be able to help, just focus on protecting yourselves."
