Even so, his speed at leading people away was very fast.

The Wild Man glanced at Luo Zhan and others who were turning to leave, then back at Xiao Mu, his face still filled with bewilderment.

Clearly, he couldn't comprehend why Xiao Mu would want to stop people from the Five Elements Sect from leaving.

"Senior."

Suddenly, upon seeing the divine corpse, Xiao Mu had a thought and quickly pointed at the nearby divine corpse to the Wild Man, "Here, the corpse of the natural Divine Spirits is already gone."

"Without the divine corpse, Senior, if you seek to exchange for Creation Power with me, you can no longer produce Solidified Authority."

While speaking, Xiao Mu gestured toward Luo Zhan and his companions, "These people are natural Divine Spirits. By capturing and killing them, you can obtain Solidified Authority and continue to exchange for Creation Power with me."

"Let's go!"

Luo Zhan's color changed, and he suddenly shouted at the other members of the Five Elements Sect.

At the same time, he himself immediately deployed his Escape Art and speedily left on the Escape Light.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh! Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

The people of the Five Elements Sect didn't need any reminders from Luo Zhan; the moment those words from Xiao Mu were spoken, they instantly executed their Escape Art, all fleeing toward the foot of the mountain.

Although they did not understand the exact meaning behind Xiao Mu's words, they still grasped the concept of being killed to take their Solidified Authority.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh! Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

The members of the Five Elements Sect escaped down the mountain together, eight streams of Five-color Escape Light shining at once.

Upon hearing Xiao Mu's words, the Wild Man couldn't help but follow Xiao Mu's pointing finger to look at the nearby divine corpse.

Upon looking, the Wild Man couldn't help but scratch his head.

It seemed that the divine corpse was indeed gone.

Without the divine corpse, where would the Solidified Authority come from? Without Solidified Authority, what would he use to exchange for Creation Power with Xiao Mu?

Yeah, what this person said made some sense.

Realizing this, the Wild Man turned his head to look back at the people of the Five Elements Sect.

These people, all natural Divine Spirits, would killing them yield divine corpses? Using these divine corpses, could one obtain Solidified Authority?

Whoosh whoosh whoosh! Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

While the Wild Man was still pondering, he realized that those from the Five Elements Sect were eagerly deploying the Five Elements Escaping Technique, hurriedly fleeing down the mountain.

Thinking of escaping?

How could that be allowed?

If you escape, where will I find Solidified Authority?

The Wild Man was not willing to casually kill underlings, but that held true only when killing these underlings offered him no benefit.

In a scenario where killing them bore benefits, for a Wild Man whose mind was not yet fully clear, and who was desperate to regain clarity, how could he possibly allow these people to escape?

Boom!

Seeing the people of the Five Elements Sect attempting to escape, the Wild Man hesitated not a moment longer and released his pressure.

A mountainous powerful pressure descended from the heavens, instantly bearing down upon everyone except himself.

Amid the booming noise, those from the Five Elements Sect who were trying to escape using their Escape Art were all pressed down to the ground, not one spared.

Not only that, including Xiao Mu, everyone was indiscriminately pressed to the ground.

Unlike the members of the Five Elements Sect who were pressed down, Xiao Mu was not in a rush. He quickly called out loudly, "Senior, mistaken injury, mistaken injury, quickly let me up."

The Wild Man glanced at Xiao Mu, and suddenly, his gaze began to slowly turn curious, staring intently at Xiao Mu.

"Senior, killing me will not produce Solidified Authority."

Xiao Mu saw through the Wild Man's thoughts in a glance.

This Wild Man was actually considering whether killing him would yield Solidified Authority. What foolish thoughts. Give up such ideas quickly. Even if killing me did yield Solidified Authority, with whom would you exchange it for Creation Power?

After staring at Xiao Mu for a while, the Wild Man finally nodded slowly, seeming to recognize the validity of Xiao Mu's words.

Then, he withdrew the pressure that was suppressing Xiao Mu.

"Many thanks, Senior!"

Xiao Mu got up from the ground, voicing his gratitude, but his mind remained on alert.

In the eyes of the Wild Man, Xiao Mu's status was probably similar to those of the Five Elements Sect members. If it weren't for the Creation Power in his hands, the Wild Man probably wouldn't bother with him.

The members of the Five Elements Sect were terrified.

Someone couldn't help but shout out in dissatisfaction.

This Wild Man was too domineering, too mighty—before him, they had not even a shred of resistance.

And now, the Wild Man was about to kill them.

For such an individual to suddenly decide to kill oneself, what possibility of escape could there be?

The majority of the Five Elements Sect couldn't bear the threat of death and couldn't help crying out.

Some people pleaded with the Wild Man for mercy on the spot, some begged the Wild Man to let them go.

Bai Su'e and Luo Zhan, both quick-witted and strong, remained relatively calm.

Under suppression, Luo Zhan shouted loudly at the Wild Man: "Senior, please do not believe Xiao Mu's nonsense. We are all from the Five Elements Sect, our ancestor is the Ancestor of the Five Elements, and we are merely his front runners; the ancestor will arrive shortly."

This person was equally afraid of dying. In his fear, he couldn't help but invoke the Ancestor of the Five Elements, hoping it would make the Wild Man wary. In fact, the Ancestor of the Five Elements was still suppressed and had not made an appearance.

The Ancestor of the Five Elements is a True God, with a formidable reputation in the Heavenly Court. The Wild Man had considerable strength; how could he have not heard of the ancestor's name?

As long as this person knew of the ancestor, and that the ancestor was coming, he should act with more caution, right?

The Wild Man glanced indifferently at Luo Zhan, seemingly nonchalant about the name of the Ancestor of the Five Elements, as if he didn't know who that was.

Xiao Mu watched this, a smile involuntarily spreading across his face.

Luo Zhan's words seemed to have no effect on the Wild Man; there was nothing for him to worry about.

Bai Su'e was even more composed. Seeing that Luo Zhan's words were futile, she quickly said: "Please, Senior, do not believe Xiao Mu's words. We all belong to the Heavenly Court. Killing us would mean making enemies with the Heavenly Court."

"A person of Senior's cultivation, which has not been easy to come by, presumably would not want to easily make enemies with the Heavenly Court, right?"

This woman, both cajoling and frightening, hoped like Luo Zhan to subdue the Wild Man.

Yet, the Wild Man remained indifferent to her words, utterly unconcerned about the so-called stance of the Heavenly Court.

"Don't waste your efforts, your words have no effect on the Senior in front of you." Xiao Mu said with a smile, taking a few steps forward, "The fears you mentioned, these words, they won't frighten Senior Hei. Just give up. Today you're doomed, none of you will escape."

"Xiao Mu, do you dare to fight me one-on-one?" Qin Zhong suddenly shouted out, challenging Xiao Mu.

Xiao Mu didn't even glance at him, treating his words as if they were air.

A man about to die, still wants to battle with me? Do I look like I have that kind of leisure time?

Next, he approached the Wild Man, fists clasped in front of him, "Congratulations to Senior, there are more Solidified Authority to exchange for Creation Power from me."

The Wild Man nodded, looked at Luo Zhan, looked at Qin Zhong, looked at everyone from the Five Elements Sect, and suddenly bared his teeth.

Eight people, ah! How marvelous!

Eight people meant eight pieces of Solidified Authority, which could be exchanged for a lot of Creation Power.

Not to mention, of these eight people, there were three Divine Spirits, whose Creation Power exchanging rate was even more significant.

The Wild Man was triumphant.

Only, when he thought about the amount of Creation Power the previous Divine Spirit got from Xiao Mu, the Wild Man's expression slowly darkened again.

Before, why do I remember this kid always shortchanging me?

"Cough cough! Senior, it's a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding!"

The Wild Man's gaze made Xiao Mu feel uneasy inside.

Could it be that the Wild Man was thinking of the shortchanging matter just now? Those were all misunderstandings, merely passing clouds. As a senior, how could you care about such details?

Feeling anxious, Xiao Mu hurriedly put on a smile to defend himself.

"Ahh ahh ahh..."

The Wild Man mumbled ambiguously, pointing at Luo Zhan and Qin Zhong on the ground, and then at Xiao Mu, as if to hold him accountable.

Are you going to shortchange me again next?

Instantly, Xiao Mu understood the Wild Man's intention, hurriedly waving his hands, "Cough cough, that's what I said, Senior misunderstood. In business, I always ensure a fair deal without deceiving young or old. From now on, please watch, Senior, I will definitely ensure a fair exchange with you, without any shortchanging."

The Wild Man understood Xiao Mu's words, his expression slightly eased. As long as there was no shortchanging, that was good.

So you're scared now, kid? You know fear? Hmph!

Hmph!

"Senior, don't listen to him. Xiao Mu has no credibility. He has the worst reputation, and everyone in the Heavenly Court knows about it. If you don't believe me, you can ask the others here. Everyone knows what I'm saying is true," Bai Su'e suddenly shouted at the Wild Man.

Even though she didn't understand what had just been said between the Wild Man and Xiao Mu, every word undoubtedly worked against her side.

This Wild Man, not quite clear-headed, there might still be some hope of persuading him.

As she spoke, Bai Su'e signaled to the rest of the Five Elements Sect with her eyes.
