"Something's off, the reactions of those four Yin God disciples changed too quickly, as if they had some foreknowledge."

Xiao Mu's expression shifted, with various thoughts flashing through his mind.

Could they have discovered my whereabouts?

Is someone from the Five Elements Sect capable of tracking my movements with such accuracy?

A terrifying conjecture surfaced in Xiao Mu's heart, causing him to involuntarily shudder with fear.

It's horrifying, if the people from the Five Elements Sect really knew my whereabouts. Then their actions right now must be part of a scheme.

It's possible they've already set up a trap, just waiting for me to launch an attack.

And myself, oblivious to the Five Elements Sect's schemes, will surely fall into their trap if I initiate my ambush.

Thinking this, Xiao Mu suddenly felt a chill.

It's all speculation, but the cautious Xiao Mu still decided to probe a bit before taking action.

After some thought, he suddenly retreated. Not only this, but he also deliberately moved closer to the people from the Five Elements Sect.

Five hundred meters, three hundred meters, two hundred meters.

"Xiao Mu is coming back, he must be ready to launch a surprise attack. He's approaching rapidly, everyone, stay on your guard."

Qin Zhong, holding the Five Elements Heaven Pointing Needle, sensed Xiao Mu's movement and once again reminded his fellow sect members through a transmitted message.

Upon hearing the reminder, the four Yin God disciples of the Five Elements Sect tensed up uncontrollably.

"Hm? Ha ha!"

Xiao Mu, who had been paying close attention to the four Yin Gods, immediately noticed their tense emotions.

It could be confirmed now, my suspicions are correct. The people from the Five Elements Sect must be able to track my movements accurately, and they were indeed ready with a trap, just waiting for me to fall into it.

Do they think I'd fall for it that easily?

Without any hesitation, Xiao Mu chose to retreat.

However, his retreat wasn't made blatantly obvious. Instead, before retreating, he hesitated for a while, quietly followed the Five Elements Sect's members for some distance, and then as if suddenly coming to a realization, he began to slow down, gradually increasing the distance between himself and the sect's members.

"Xiao Mu has given up again, what's going on? Could he have guessed our trap and ambush?"

Qin Zhong, the first to notice Xiao Mu's retreat, couldn't help but frown, even starting to grow impatient.

"What? Xiao Mu retreated again? What's happening?"

Luo Zhan asked with a displeased expression.

"Not sure of the reason."

Qin Zhong's hand, holding the Five Elements Heaven Pointing Needle, tightened unconsciously, "The speed of his pursuit is slowing down bit by bit, he may have noticed something, or perhaps he encountered some other matter."

"Bit by bit slowing down?"

Luo Zhan pondered for a moment, then said, "I don't think it's necessarily because he guessed our plans. If he had, Xiao Mu would have retreated immediately, not slowly reduced his speed."

"Bit by bit slowing down shows that he is hesitating, he wants to initiate a surprise attack, but he has reservations."

Luo Zhan speculated, analyzing Xiao Mu's psychology.

"What is he hesitating about, what's there to hesitate?" Qin Zhong said irritably.

Luo Zhan chuckled but did not respond; Qin Zhong was a straightforward man who couldn't appreciate these subtle psychological changes. It wasn't necessary to explain it to him.

"Will Xiao Mu come again?"

Bai Su'e suddenly asked.

"This..."

Luo Zhan was stumped by the question and fell silent, how could he know whether Xiao Mu would come again or not?

※※※

"There's indeed a trap."

Xiao Mu, gradually increasing his distance from the Five Elements Sect's members, stopped moving.

Since there's a trap, my original plan becomes unusable, and I certainly can't just recklessly launch an ambush.

"The people from the Five Elements Sect can actually lock onto my whereabouts, wonder what method they're using."

"Regardless of how the Five Elements Sect people are tracking my movements, if I want to continue my ambushes and eliminate them, the first issue I must solve is my whereabouts being locked onto."

"So, how do I resolve the issue of the Five Elements Sect tracking me? Creation Power?"

An idea suddenly flashed through Xiao Mu's mind. Thinking of Creation Power, he couldn't help but show a gleeful expression.

Creation Power, seizing the Creation of Heaven and Earth, is specialized in achieving the impossible.

Under normal circumstances, Creation Power can deceive even the divine, certainly enough to resolve the problem of the Five Elements Sect's tracking.

"Let's give it a try."

Xiao Mu, deciding to put his idea into action, pulled out the Creation Axe and cast a strand of Creation Power onto himself.

Crack!

A flash of white light and the Creation Power entered Xiao Mu's body.

"Roar~"

Atop the high mountains, a furious howl erupted once again, and a fearsome aura descended from the sky, shrouding Kui Mountain in an instant.

The sky seemed to darken at that moment, growing dim and appearing to lower by three parts, the entire atmosphere of Kui Mountain becoming oppressively heavy in an instant.

That sudden howl seemed to transform the whole of Kui Mountain into the Netherworld's Dead Zone.

"Terrifying! What is roaring?"

Xiao Mu's face changed; the source of the howl was too terrifying, a single roar was enough to betray its horrific power.

The emergence of this terrifying presence was fine, but once active, it could kill every person on Kui Mountain, whether it was himself or the entirety of the Five Elements Sect.

Even Xiao Mu had the feeling that in the face of that dreadful roar, even True Gods might only face their demise.

"There's danger on the peak of Kui Mountain; it is home to a terrifying presence of extreme horror. Do not provoke it under any circumstances."

Xiao Mu cautioned himself internally.

At the same time, the people from the Five Elements Sect also heard that terrible howl.
