"These Five Elements Sect people, it seems they're dismantling the array."

At the mountainside of Zhendang Mountain, Qi Ping and Liu Tong used the Concealment Divine Net to hide their presence, watching Luo Zhan of the Five Elements Sect lead the group in their busy efforts.

"Why dismantle the array? Could it be? The array has become ineffective? Where's Xiao Mu? Where has Xiao Mu gone?"

Liu Tong looked around but didn't spot any trace of Xiao Mu.

Qi Ping tilted his ear and activated Divine Listening Technique, causing his left ear to transform into a large horn-like shape.

He listened attentively for a while, taking in the Five Elements Sect's people's conversations, then chuckled, "Old Liu, Xiao Mu has passed through the array."

"Xiao Mu passed through the Five Elements Sect's array?" Liu Tong was astonished.

"Not just that!"

Qi Ping praised, "Xiao Mu not only passed through the array, but also seized control rights of the array from the Five Elements Sect people. That's why they are dismantling the array."

Liu Tong exclaimed in amazement, "This Xiao Mu, truly extraordinary. He actually mastered arrays to the point he can take control of them."

"But then, where has Xiao Mu gone now? Is he battling with the Five Elements Sect people?"

Qi Ping said, "No, Xiao Mu entered the array ahead of the Five Elements Sect people. Now, the Five Elements Sect's Earth Spirit God is leading a group to break the array, trying to extract Xiao Mu from within."

"This... this..."

Liu Tong was momentarily at a loss for words. After a long pause, he exclaimed again in admiration, "This Xiao Mu, truly amazing. Despite arriving later than the Five Elements Sect people, he ended up entering the array before them. Old Qi, what should we do? In your opinion, what move should we make? Continue climbing the mountain and enter the array?"

"Xiao Mu has already entered the array, beating the Five Elements Sect people."

Qi Ping pondered for a moment, "There's no need for us to enter the array now. Even if we could, what chance would we have of competing with Xiao Mu for treasures within it?"

"Moreover, because Xiao Mu entered the array, the Five Elements Sect has tightened their defenses around the array. Even if we approach the array, we won't find any opportunity to get inside."

"That makes sense!" Liu Tong nodded. "What do you think we should do?"

"I think..."

Qi Ping pondered further, glancing at Luo Zhan and the others dismantling the array, "The Five Elements Sect is dismantling the array out of concern for potential emergencies where retreat might become difficult. In my opinion, instead of entering the array, why not take this opportunity to set up a small array at the base of the mountain?"

"Set up a small array at the base of the mountain? What would that accomplish?" Liu Tong wondered, unable to understand.

"Foolish!"

Qi Ping berated, his aged eyes glinting with light, "These Five Elements Sect people are worried about the difficulties of retreating in case of emergencies, right? Since we're not entering the array, why not make things a little harder for them?"

"I have a Small Chaos Formation. Its power isn't particularly strong and won't hold off formidable figures breaking the array. Even regular Mutated Beings could escape its bounds fairly quickly."

"This array isn't meant to trap people, but to create chaos, throwing intruders into brief confusion."

"So, what if you and I set up the Small Chaos Formation at the base of Zhendang Mountain? This would delay the Five Elements Sect people if they encounter any emergencies and try to retreat."

"Furthermore, once the array is set up, we could use the opportunity to launch sneak attacks on the Five Elements Sect people—attack and retreat quickly. If discovered during our escape, the Small Chaos Formation could also slow their pursuit, making it easier for us to retreat. What do you think?"

"Brilliant, truly brilliant! Let's set up the array together!" Liu Tong exclaimed in delight, wholeheartedly agreeing.

※※※

Clang! Boom! Clang! Boom...

The Earth Spirit God held one Formation Breaking Command Talisman after another, throwing them into the array.

The array roared, as one after another, the Five Elements Divine Tablets emerged within the array, each tablet emitting the Light of Five Elements, illuminating the surroundings, causing new changes in the Creation Array.

"Everyone, the Five Elements Confusion Formation has already been deployed. Join me in controlling the array to extract Xiao Mu."

The Earth Spirit God held two golden Command Tokens, one in each hand, and called to the other three Spirit Gods.

Similar to the Earth Spirit God, the Wood Spirit God, Water Spirit God, and Fire Spirit God each held two Command Tokens.

At this moment, the Earth Spirit God raised his hand, sending one golden Command Token flying upward into the void.

A ray of brilliance shot forth from this Command Token, aiming directly at the central Door of Creation.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

The Door of Creation began trembling.

Seeing this, the Wood Spirit God, Water Spirit God, and Fire Spirit God quickly tossed their own Command Tokens upward as well.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

Three more Command Tokens trembled, releasing rays of brilliance that similarly locked onto the central Door of Creation.

Thus, the central Door of Creation trembled even more violently.

Soon, the Door of Creation began to emit rings of seven-colored light—energy representing the seven powers Xiao Mu cultivated.

"Everyone, the Five Elements Confusion Formation has locked onto Xiao Mu. Join me in extracting him!"

The Earth Spirit God, seeing the seven-colored light rings, became overjoyed and raised the Command Token in his left hand, shouting at the other three Spirit Gods.

The four Spirit Gods simultaneously raised their left-hand Command Tokens.

Four Command Tokens shone brightly, each one slowly pushed forward as if they were pushing open a tremendously heavy door.

The Light of Five Elements poured down from above, resulting in a faintly visible Door of Five Elements slowly manifesting near the central Door of Creation.

"Xiao Mu is about to come out. Everyone, move forward with me and get ready to strike!"

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Escape lights flared as the Earth Spirit God swiftly activated the Five Elements Escaping Technique, approaching the faintly-visible Door of Five Elements.
