The Five Elements Sect was doomed!
With a sorrowful face, the Chief Elder was about to say something when he saw Xuan Sanren's gloomy smile fade, as if he had seen something that made him turn stern.
Following Xuan Sanren's gaze, the Chief Elder saw an elder sitting on a rooftop not far to the west, his face weathered, his body like dead wood.
It was the unfathomable elder known as "Old Kui" who was with Mr. Zhuang.
A glimmer of hope rose in the Chief Elder's heart.
Xuan Sanren, facing Old Kui with a grim expression, clasped his hands and said,
"Who is this distinguished person?"
Old Kui glanced at him indifferently, "You're not qualified to know. I'll spare your life; now begone."
Xuan Sanren, furious, gave a cold laugh, ready to take action. He suddenly hesitated, as if remembering something, his face changed drastically, and he blurted out in shock,
"You are..."
Old Kui's gaze was icy.
Xuan Sanren quickly shut his mouth, trembling and not daring to speak.
Suppressing the terror in his heart, his face twitching, he bowed to Old Kui, and his figure gradually faded from above the city gate, then disappeared.
The group of Demon Cultivators behind Xuan Sanren was also stunned and shocked,
"What is the identity of this elder?"
"Even Xuan Sanren shows him such respect?"
But they didn't dare to voice their questions.
Fearing to speak disrespectfully and offend the mysterious elder, and also fearing to incur Xuan Sanren's wrath with improper remarks.
If Xuan Sanren did not dare to stop them, they dared even less, so the group of Demon Cultivators had no choice but to retreat.
The Demon Cultivators dispersed.
The Chief Elder sighed with relief and, looking at Old Kui from a distance, bowed respectfully.
All the cultivators of the Five Elements Sect also looked solemn and bowed to Old Kui.
Old Kui flicked his finger, and a pitch-black fireball flew out.
The great gate of Li Mountain City shattered, the Demonic Qi was burnt to nothingness, and the Blood Banner burned with a gaping hole, while the sea of blood seemed to have been torn apart, revealing a passage.
"Go."
Old Kui said just one word and then continued to rest with his eyes closed.
Filled with gratitude, the Chief Elder bowed deeply once more, then looked back and gestured. Leading the cultivators of the Five Elements Sect, they followed the path opened by Old Kui out of Li Mountain City...
Mo Hua also glanced at Old Kui and couldn't help muttering to himself,
"Grandpa Gui..."
Old Kui seemed to hear Mo Hua's voice, slowly opened his eyes, and, glancing at Mo Hua, his lips curled up, revealing a slight smile.
