After all, it was reasonable for the remaining Yin Gods of the Five Elements Sect to be on edge, given that two of their number had been stealthily assassinated by me. It would be truly unusual if they were not nervous.

These four individuals are worried about me continuing to launch surprise attacks, afraid that they might be the next target, and therefore they feel anxious.

Xiao Mu smiled again, his gaze shifting as he locked onto one of the four Yin Gods, a tall and burly man dressed in white.

Heh, you're next.

Xiao Mu took another glance at the tall man in white, then averted his eyes, waiting for Black Wind to make a move.

Once Black Wind appears, the Five Elements Sect will definitely be thrown into chaos. And during their chaos, that'll be the moment for me to strike.

"The four of you Yin Gods must be cautious; Xiao Mu's next target will definitely be one of you. Although according to the plan, we will surely be able to kill Xiao Mu, we cannot guarantee that the one who gets ambushed will not be injured,"

"So, once Xiao Mu appears, the one who has been ambushed can make a quick retreat, refraining from joining the battle,"

Bai Su'e suddenly thought of something and kindly reminded the four Yin Gods.

"Thank you, Sister Su E!"

"Thanks for the warning, Senior Sister Su E!"

The four Yin Gods joyfully thanked Bai Su'e upon hearing the words. With this advice, the danger they faced would greatly diminish.

Luo Zhan heard this and was not particularly impressed, but he didn't stop Bai Su'e from giving her extraneous warning.

Even though he wasn't overly concerned with the lives and deaths of these four Yin Gods, they were still part of the same sect and clan, so it was still better to have fewer casualties if possible.

"Something's not right, very wrong!"

Xiao Mu keenly felt the emotional changes of the four Yin Gods from the Five Elements Sect.

It was understandable for these four Yin Gods to be worried about being ambushed and to feel unsettled, but their nervousness seemed somewhat excessive.

"Could these people from the Five Elements Sect be plotting something against me?"

A thought flashed through Xiao Mu's mind, further unsettling him.

Being a cautious man, this bit of unease swiftly magnified in his heart.

Better to err on the side of belief than disbelief. His life was precious, and one could never be too careful when facing danger.

Xiao Mu pondered for a moment, then suddenly started to retreat.

If the people from the Five Elements Sect were prepared, it wouldn't do for him to act rashly on his side, even if an excellent opportunity to launch a surprise attack presented itself. He would rather let it pass.

"Xiao Mu is retreating!"

The scene of Xiao Mu choosing to retreat was immediately detected by Qin Zhong through the Five Elements Heaven Pointing Needle, and he used a transmission method to notify the others.

"Retreat? Why retreat? Could it be that Xiao Mu has noticed something?"

Worry tinged Luo Zhan's voice.

If Xiao Mu does not fall into the trap, our plan to encircle and kill him will fail.

However, those four Yin Gods, upon hearing that Xiao Mu had retreated, couldn't help but feel a sense of relief wash over them.

Retreating is good. If he didn't retreat, even if we could succeed in killing Xiao Mu, his dying counterattack would still very likely result in one of us being dragged down with him.

And unquestionably, the one forced to accompany him in death would be one of the four Yin Gods, with the odds being one in four.

"Strange, how come as soon as I retreated, these four Yin Gods suddenly relaxed and are no longer tense?" Xiao Mu was surprised, his expression changing again.

Despite retreating, he hadn't completely shifted his attention from the four Yin Gods; he continued to observe them closely.

As a result of this retreat, he discovered that the four Yin Gods immediately eased up and were no longer anxious.
