"What is that sound!"

Qin Zhong's face paled.

"Such a terrifying presence!" Bai Su'e's face turned pale, her fingers involuntarily interlocking together.

The other members of the Five Elements Sect also became panicked, the terrible roaring sound, anyone who heard it, by the prestige behind the roar, could feel it must be an extremely terrifying presence.

"I have never heard of fierce creatures on Kui Mountain, at least the Five Spirits God has never mentioned it."

Luo Zhan remained relatively calm, looking towards the mountain peak, soothing others.

"The Five Spirits God wants us to climb the mountain in search of the Ancient Heavenly Gods' treasure, could it be that the terrifying presence making the roar is guarding the Ancient Heavenly Gods' treasure?"

Bai Su'e suggested a possibility.

"It's possible!" Luo Zhan thought for a moment, then gravely nodded.

It's possible, entirely possible.

The treasure of Ancient Heavenly Gods could only be guarded by such an unrivaled fierce being.

"If that's the case, should we still ascend the mountain and continue our treasure hunt?" Bai Su'e raised the question.

"This..."

Luo Zhan was stumped, unable to respond immediately.

If the treasure of the Ancient Heavenly Gods truly is guarded by an unrivaled fierce creature, rashly approaching the treasure would certainly lead to death.

But the treasure of the Ancient Heavenly Gods is no ordinary treasure.

Anyone who obtains it would undergo a transformational leap in strength.

Who could easily give up on that?

Shortly after, having thought it through, Luo Zhan said, "Whether that unrivaled fierce creature is guarding the Ancient Heavenly Gods' treasure is still uncertain, our current thoughts are only speculations."

"Perhaps it is guarding it, or perhaps not."

"My point is, whether it is or isn't, let us first climb the mountain to investigate the situation. If it really is an unrivaled fierce creature guarding the Ancient Heavenly Gods' treasure, we will retreat. If not, then we will think of a way to obtain it."

"That does make some sense!"

Bai Su'e nodded, "I'm just particularly worried about the danger of the unrivaled fierce creature, fearing that once we encounter it, we might not be able to escape."

"Don't worry about not being able to escape."

Luo Zhan looked confident, "Before we entered, the Gold Spirit God gave me a Fate Talisman. If we truly encounter it, and need to run, I will activate this Fate Talisman, summoning the Power of Destiny, and take us away from danger."

"Fate Talisman!"

Bai Su'e's eyes lit up, and the others also breathed a sigh of relief.

Since there is a Fate Talisman that can take them away from danger at any moment, there's no need to worry about encountering the unrivaled fierce creature.

"That Xiao Mu, he actually stopped, I wonder if he will still follow us."

Qin Zhong glanced at the Five Elements Heaven Pointing Needle, spoke up again, drawing everyone's attention back.

※※※

The Power of Creation entered the body, the force of Creation covering the entire body, Xiao Mu's body suddenly split from the middle into two, becoming two Xiao Mus.

Among them, one a false body, one a real body.

"The false body created by the Power of Creation should be enough to deceive the people from the Five Elements Sect."

Xiao Mu smiled, in this world, there is no power the Power of Creation cannot deceive. Even the Power of Destiny can only probe from other directions, indirectly solve the effects of the Power of Creation, and cannot directly eliminate the deception of the Power of Creation.

"Let's test it first."

The false body of Xiao Mu remained in place, while the true body suddenly transformed into a shadow.

This shadow traveled close to the ground, chasing in the direction of the Five Elements Sect's people.

A thousand meters, eight hundred meters, five hundred meters...

The distance between Xiao Mu and the people of the Five Elements Sect was getting closer, at the same time, he released his Divine Sense, his gaze falling on the four Yin Gods, continuing to probe the situation of the four Yin Gods.

"They haven't become tense, I'll get a bit closer."

"Still not tense, I'll get a bit closer."

"Still not tense."

Xiao Mu gradually approached the people of the Five Elements Sect, the distance slowly narrowed from five hundred meters to three hundred meters, two hundred meters, and even one hundred meters.

At the same time, he released his Divine Sense, his gaze constantly focused on the four Yin Gods of the Five Elements Sect, guessing the control of the people of the Five Elements Sect over his whereabouts through the emotional changes of the four Yin Gods.

"It seems that the Power of Creation can obscure the detection by the people of the Five Elements Sect. Under the veil of the Power of Creation, their detection of me becomes meaningless."

"Should I launch a direct sneak attack?"

Xiao Mu fell into deep thought and soon decided to abandon the idea of a direct physical sneak attack, "No, a direct attack is not secure."

"Who knows if the people of the Five Elements Sect have already anticipated my probe and are intentionally luring me in?"

"Moreover, even if I use my true body for a direct sneak attack, and even if the attack is ultimately successful, the people of the Five Elements Sect would guess that I have a way to obscure their lock on me."

"This means that no matter what, using the Power of Creation to obscure a sneak attack can only be used once."

"Better to summon my false body over, it's safer, and I can also probe the reaction of the four Yin Gods in the process."

In his contemplation, Xiao Mu quickly made a decision and mobilized his false body.

His false body moved swiftly, not only that, but it also used the Emperor Authority to employ the Earth Escape Technique to burrow underground, moving beneath the surface toward the people of the Five Elements Sect.

As the false body approached, Xiao Mu's true body continued to monitor the emotional changes of the four Yin Gods.

※※※

"Be vigilant, there's Xiao Mu again, coming towards us from underground."

Qin Zhong suddenly transmitted a voice to remind everyone.

"Underground? Xiao Mu's methods are really unpredictable; his previous attack also originated from beneath the ground, right?"

Luo Zhan expressed his astonishment at Xiao Mu's methods.

"It's the Heavenly Emperor's Might combined with the Earth Escape Technique."

Bai Su'e spoke seriously, "I've looked into this Xiao Mu's situation, and I understand more about his capabilities. His method is actually a variant of the Earth Travel Technique, created by fusing the Heavenly Emperor's Might with the Earth Escape Technique."

"Earth Travel Technique!"

Luo Zhan sighed, not sure how to describe his feelings.

Xiao Mu's methods were too enigmatic and unpredictable.

The Earth Travel Technique itself is a Secret Art, yet extremely rare; even within the entire Heavenly Court, there are only a few who have cultivated this Secret Art.

Furthermore, what's more important is that the Earth Travel Technique, this Secret Art, is not something that just anyone can cultivate—it requires a special talent.

"The four of you, you're too tense, relax, don't let Xiao Mu detect anything."

Bai Su'e noticed the nervousness of the four Yin Gods, she hurriedly reminded and commanded them to relax.

"Hmm?"

Luo Zhan turned his head and also saw the four nervous Yin Gods, realizing the problem, "You four, relax, relax quickly. If you're so tense, Xiao Mu might realize there's an issue."

"Yes, Respected Envoy Luo!"

The four Yin Gods quickly responded and tried to ease their nervousness, calming themselves down.

The effect was quite good; soon, the four of them relaxed quite a bit.

However, this clearly had no impact on Xiao Mu.

Actually, the moment Qin Zhong noticed the false body moving underground and notified the others, Xiao Mu had already made an accurate judgment from the reactions of the four Yin Gods.

"Indeed, the Power of Creation can obscure their detection. Now, under the veil of the Power of Creation, the Five Elements Sect people can only detect my false body, while my true body remains undetectable to them."

"It's time to prepare for the sneak attack!"

Xiao Mu controlled his false body, gradually reaching directly beneath the feet of the Five Elements Sect people.

Meanwhile, his true body also transformed into a shadow, gradually moving closer to the Five Elements Sect people.

Before long, he was near the Five Elements Sect people.

At this time, having entered Xiao Mu's sneak attack range, Xiao Mu no longer approached but quietly waited for the opportunity.

Being cautious, he was still waiting for the chance when Black Wind would appear.

In fact, the members of the Five Elements Sect were even more nervous than Xiao Mu at this time.

Sensing the position of Xiao Mu's false body, Qin Zhong immediately transmitted the message of Xiao Mu's appearance underground to everyone.

These members of the Five Elements Sect, upon hearing this, couldn't help but become nervous again; the ordinary ground beneath their feet suddenly gave them the feeling as if they were standing in a pit.

"Something's not right!"

Bai Su'e glanced over the faces of all the Five Elements Sect people, and at this moment, she could distinctly sense the nervousness of the Five Elements Sect people.

The appearance of Xiao Mu below had now not just made the four Yin Gods nervous but also caused the Divine Spirits to grow anxious.

"These people, they're too nervous, could it be that Xiao Mu has already noticed and guessed something?"
