Heh heh!

Xiao Mu sneered inwardly. Attacking the Wild Man was akin to seeking death, wasn't it?

No one knew the Wild Man's strength better than he did; an existence that was very likely at the Heavenly God Level, a supremely terrifying being.

The members of the Five Elements Sect obviously weren't aware of this. Seeing Luo Zhan take action, they all acted as if nothing was out of the ordinary, convinced that the Wild Man was as good as dead, only Bai Su'e looked slightly worried but refrained from advising otherwise.

The Wild Man, upon Luo Zhan's move, suddenly turned his head, looking towards the Five Elements divine light emitted by Luo Zhan.

The power of the Five Elements Heaven Opening Technique was unmatched; yet the individual bore not a hint of panic, his eyes relaxed, seemingly not taking Luo Zhan's offensive seriously at all.

Then, as the divine light sword of the Five Elements descended from the sky, the Wild Man casually extended two fingers—a thumb and forefinger from the right hand.

Casually, with a gentle pinch, these two fingers grasped the divine light sword.

Sizzle!

The divine light sword of Luo Zhan was easily caught between the Wild Man's fingers; with a slight squeeze, it was as if crushing a fly.

Crack!

The divine light sword seemed to wail as it twisted and struggled in the Wild Man's grasp. Then, with a snap, it shattered like a bubble.

"You..."

Luo Zhan was shocked, his eyes wide open as he stared at the Wild Man in horror.

The strength of the Wild Man was too formidable, inscrutable—his casual move effortlessly neutralized the Five Elements Heaven Opening Technique.

This power made him instantly recognize his own helplessness.

The onlookers from the Five Elements Sect all widened their eyes, halting their steps in sheer astonishment.

The strength of the Wild Man was unimaginably vast, vastly exceeding their expectations.

Bai Su'e, who had been worried about the Wild Man's strength from the start, furrowed her brows deeply with a pale face. There was trouble now; the Wild Man's strength was so formidable, and he was on Xiao Mu's side; their group was in trouble.

Only Xiao Mu remained calm, even wearing a faint smile without saying a word.

He had long experienced the Wild Man's strength firsthand and found nothing strange about the display.

"Your Excellency's strength is impressive. Which Ancient Times' senior might you be? Luo Zhan of the Five Elements Sect, along with the Junior Brothers and Sisters, greets the senior!"

Luo Zhan was quick-witted enough to compose himself from the shock, feigning calm while trying to probe the origins of the Wild Man and bringing up his Sect in hopes that this might make the Wild Man reconsider.

This guy is quite clever, isn't he?

Xiao Mu glanced at Luo Zhan, a trace of concern flashing by.

This Luo Zhan, quite the smooth talker—could it be that he would bewitch the Wild Man?

If the Wild Man was swayed by him, what followed could be disadvantageous for me.

"Ah... Ah..."

The Wild Man didn't seem to understand Luo Zhan's words, merely uttering a few sounds before waving his hand again, gesturing for Luo Zhan to leave.

Such small fry were not even worth his effort.

Luo Zhan was delighted, the Wild Man's gesture of dismissal greatly relieved him, and he quickly bowed his fists toward the Wild Man, "Sorry for disturbing you, senior, it was our fault. We will come to apologize another day; we shall leave now. Fellow Junior Brothers and Sisters, let's go!"

Saying this, Luo Zhan gestured for the Five Elements Sect members to depart.

All members of the Five Elements Sect breathed a sigh of relief at the sight of the Wild Man's dismissive wave.

The Wild Man was too powerful; as long as he didn't kill them, it was a stroke of luck to be grateful for.

As for being chased away, what shame was there in being dismissed by such a powerful figure?

All members of the Five Elements Sect bowed to the Wild Man and started to step back, preparing to retreat down the mountain.

"Hold on!"

Seeing the Five Elements Sect members leaving, Xiao Mu panicked, standing out and calling out loudly to stop them.

It had not been easy to have these people from the Five Elements Sect come here. Xiao Mu was loath to let them leave easily now that he could use the Wild Man to eliminate them.

"You all stay put! Senior, I have something to say."

After rebuking the Five Elements Sect members, Xiao Mu turned towards the Wild Man.

The Wild Man clearly didn't wish to kill indiscriminately; therefore, Xiao Mu had to persuade the Wild Man to keep the Five Elements Sect members.

"Xiao Mu, don't stir up trouble. The senior has already permitted us to leave. Do you think you can speak for the senior?"

Bai Su'e rebuked angrily, pointing at Xiao Mu.

She saw through Xiao Mu's intentions at a glance and was highly fearful.

If Xiao Mu really persuaded the Wild Man, would they have any chance of survival?

Meanwhile, she also tried to instigate, glancing at the Wild Man's expression while speaking.

This Xiao Mu, making decisions for the senior so presumptuously, wouldn't the senior be angered?

Unfortunately, her actions were completely ineffective on the Wild Man.

The Wild Man at the moment could only maintain a sliver of clarity and was unable to understand overly complicated intentions.

Seeing no reaction from the Wild Man, Bai Su'e felt disappointed.

"The senior might have let you leave, but I haven't. Forget it, I don't have much to say to you. Senior."

Xiao Mu retorted and once again looked towards the Wild Man, while considering how to persuade him.

The Wild Man, retaining some clarity, was undoubtedly averse to careless slaughter.

And that obviously was not the outcome Xiao Mu wanted.

He aimed to eliminate every member of the Five Elements Sect with the help of the Wild Man.

"Xiao Mu, you overestimate yourself. What status is the senior of, that he would listen to your nonsense. Fellow Junior Brothers and Sisters, the senior has allowed us to leave, let's go!"

Luo Zhan, impatient, contradicted Xiao Mu, fearing the Wild Man might change his mind, and while speaking, he once again urged the Five Elements Sect members to leave.

He himself was at the forefront, ready to lead the descent down the mountain.

In front of the Wild Man, he dared not act too presumptuously, worried that any excessive actions might provoke the Wild Man, and did not immediately deploy the Escape Art to flee.
