Earlier, I carelessly hit him, and if I were to tell him now that I killed four spirit realm elders of the Five Elements Sect, wouldn't that drive him mad?

Xiao Mu didn't want to infuriate Qi Ping; he was a veteran elder of the Alliance and shared common enemies with him. Smiling lightly, Xiao Mu humbly said, "Elder Qi and Elder Liu's prowess during the attack on the members of the Five Elements Sect was truly impressive."

"Lad, stop with the flattery. I'm asking you, how many did you kill?" Qi Ping asked, displeased.

"Well..."

Xiao Mu hesitated, unsure how to respond.

"I'm asking you, how many did you kill? Speak up."

Qi Ping pressed, his voice rising in anger.

"This... one or two, perhaps." Xiao Mu replied helplessly.

"One or two?"

Qi Ping's tone faltered, discontent palpable, "Was it one or two, Xiao Mu? Do you not even know how many you killed?"

"Well, one."

Xiao Mu replied helplessly, deciding to preserve the elder's dignity.

Even if he were to truthfully tell Qi Ping how many he killed, what good would it do him?

There would be no benefit at all.

The old fellow, narrow-minded as he is, would undoubtedly be infuriated.

In this sealed land, they were facing powerful forces of the Five Elements Sect. If the old man got upset and lost his head, leading to getting killed by the sect, how could Xiao Mu bear it in his heart?

Besides, the old man was just stubborn, not evil. If he were, he wouldn't have risked everything to rescue Xiao Mu upon seeing the sect members attempting a sneak attack.

"Xiao Mu, one must be honest. One means one, two means two. Don't make one into two or two into one."

Qi Ping scolded Xiao Mu, putting on the air of a senior, "Come on, tell me again, was it one or two?"

"Alright then!"

Xiao Mu was resigned; the elder kept pressing him about how many he killed. Did it matter? Even if he told him, would it have any meaning? He could only say, "Two."

"Two?"

There was a noticeable pause in Qi Ping's tone, clearly taken aback by Xiao Mu's answer.

Both Old Liu and I managed to kill two together, yet you say you killed two on your own? Are you joking?

This lad doesn't know how to speak the truth.

Feeling that Xiao Mu was lying, Qi Ping was unhappy, "Xiao Mu, one is one, two is two. Young folks need to be honest. Elder Liu and I are not outsiders, so why lie to us? Just tell me, how many?"

Besides, saying one was not right, and two wasn't either.

Alright then!

Xiao Mu was out of options. Eventually, he decided to tell the truth, softly saying, "Four."

"What? How many? How many did you say?"

Qi Ping looked as if he couldn't believe his ears, "Xiao Mu, how many did you say?"

"Four!"

Xiao Mu repeated loudly.

"Four... four?"

Qi Ping's tone shifted, his voice dropping noticeably.

Buzz!

The silver talisman suddenly dimmed, and the call ended.

"Elder Qi, Elder Qi."

Xiao Mu called twice, but there was no response.

With a helpless smile, he thought to himself that saying one wasn't okay, two wasn't either, and telling the truth led to him hanging up. How many was he supposed to say?

Such a small-minded old man.

※※※

A black cloud drifted over from the horizon, slowly descending from the sky as it reached the peak of Zhendang Mountain.

"Wild, it's that Wild Man, no, that strange figure!"

On the peak, Luo Zhan and his group, staying put without daring to move, identified the Wild Man. Luo Zhan blurted out, alerting Bai Su'e and Qin Zhong.

"He... he is here too?" Qin Zhong swallowed hard, watching the Wild Man with caution, feeling both anxious and frightened.

This Wild Man was too powerful, too terrifying. If he decided to deal with them, who could escape?

Especially since they were trapped under the Formation of Creation, unable to make any hasty moves, let alone attempt to flee.

"Stay calm, Old Qin, stay calm."

Bai Su'e was in a much better state, soothing Qin Zhong, "This person is not actually very dangerous. Earlier, the reason he confronted us was only because of Xiao Mu."

"Have you two forgotten? After subduing us, he intended to drive us away, but we remained because of Xiao Mu."

"Now that Xiao Mu isn't here and we have no conflict of interest with this person, it's unlikely he'll take any action against us."

"Su'e is right." Luo Zhan nodded in agreement, "Let's stay calm, not provoke him or say anything rash, and see what he does."

Qin Zhong finally relaxed, calming down a bit.

At that moment, the three of them watched the Wild Man closely.

Suspended mid-air, the Wild Man stood on a black cloud, looking down below.

His gaze swept over Luo Zhan, Bai Su'e, and Qin Zhong, but soon, his eyes moved away from the three of them.

Their strength was too low to warrant his attention.

Bai Su'e's analysis was also correct. The three of them lacked direct conflict with the Wild Man, and he had no interest in dealing with beings he considered immensely weak.

The Wild Man hovered in the air, observing the Formation of Creation, seemingly contemplating how to break it.

This Formation of Creation was immensely powerful. Ordinary spirit realm or True God realm beings would shatter into pure energy upon contact, their bodies disintegrating completely.

This was why Luo Zhan and the others remained motionless at their spot.

The power of the Formation of Creation was too mighty, and the three of them alone were incapable of breaking it. They stayed put, waiting for the Four Divine Spirits to arrive.

Once the Four Divine Spirits came, the seven of them could join forces, led by the Earth Spirit God, who was an Array Master, giving them perhaps a sliver of hope to break the Formation of Creation.

At present, it was impossible.

The Wild Man watched for a while before beginning to think.

This person's mental faculties were impaired, his mind not very clear, so whether he truly contemplated was uncertain.

However, after several minutes, he suddenly raised his right hand high in the sky.

Whir, whir, whir!

A gust of black wind gathered in the Wild Man's right hand, forming shape.

The black wind grew increasingly fierce, becoming a whirlwind.

As the Wild Man extended his hand again, the black cyclone expanded into a gigantic wind pillar, towering hundreds or even thousands of miles high and several miles wide.

Whir, whir, whir!

The massive wind pillar launched from the Wild Man's hand, and as he cast it downwards, it whirled its way towards the Formation of Creation.

Whir, whir, whir!

The immense wind pillar howled fiercely as it landed on the Formation of Creation.

Buzz!

The Formation of Creation vibrated violently, triggering an eruption of dazzling white brilliance from the web of divine light at the moment of contact with the enormous wind pillar.

Thousands, tens of thousands of beams of divine light trembled simultaneously and began cutting.

Chirp, chirp, chirp!

The base of the immense wind pillar was slashed by the Creation Light, shattering directly.

The phantom wind pillar, encountering the Formation of Creation, was treated as a solid object and sliced, gradually sinking from the base and reducing in size.

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

The oscillation of the Formation of Creation accelerated, and within a few minutes, this gigantic wind pillar, towering hundreds or thousands of miles, was entirely cut by the Formation of Creation, dissolving into pure energy and disappearing.

Luo Zhan, Bai Su'e, and Qin Zhong all held their breath, not daring to make even the slightest sound.

The Wild Man's methods, the gigantic wind pillar, and the destructive, omnipotent Formation of Creation were all overwhelmingly powerful.

Any of these techniques could easily snuff out their lives if wielded against them.

However, at this moment, these supremely powerful forces clashed, yet astoundingly, it was the Formation of Creation that emerged victorious.

The Formation of Creation was too formidable; even the Wild Man's wind pillar disintegrated within, turning into pure energy and vanishing.

In the air, the Wild Man standing on the black cloud appeared stunned, having underestimated the might of the Formation of Creation.

He gazed at the Formation of Creation, falling into another bout of contemplation, standing motionless on the black cloud.

Buzz!

On Luo Zhan's person, a white brilliance suddenly sparked, as the Power of Destiny surged from within him.

The Wood Spirit is reaching out to me again.

Luo Zhan started, immediately realizing the situation.

He hurriedly extended his hand to grab the Fate Talisman.

Just as he reached out, before he could touch the Fate Talisman, he noticed the Wild Man abruptly moving again, even turning his head to glance in his direction.

It was a strange look.

Luo Zhan's soul almost left his body, scared out of his wits.

The Wild Man had taken notice of him.
