"Didn't you say before that with their strength they didn't have the ability to break the soul oath?" Li Mu asked in return.

"That's just speculation! The world is full of wonders, and who knows if these terrifying beings might have some strange methods to deceive everyone and break their oaths?"

"Wu Xing, I'm not in the mood to argue with you right now. Anyway, time is running out, so make your own decision! Whether it's riskier to save me and the other four, or not to save them, weigh the pros and cons yourself."

Li Mu said directly.

After a brief silence, Wuxing replied, "Alright, alright! Sigh, save them all! But I'm still under seal! Although my strength is much greater than on Earth, this Nine Purple Heavenly Fiend Qi is truly formidable. If the barrier in the void is still extremely far away, I can't guarantee I can get you out. In that case, if it really comes to it, I'll have to fend for myself!"

In the end, the Wandering Gold-Eating Armadillo chose to save the four Dao cultivators as well.

He wasn't stupid; he knew that Li Mu's analysis made sense.

If we don't save these four incredibly powerful Dao cultivators, the outcome will most likely be death as well.

After all, having abandoned them, how could they possibly let Li Mu and Wu Xing leave alive?

Saving them would expose his secret of not being a being of the Five Elements, but it remains to be seen whether he can truly break the oath of the soul.

Comparatively speaking, the risk of choosing to save them is indeed smaller than that of not saving them.

"Alright, if it really comes to the point where even you can't do anything about it, then it's fate. If you can save your own life, then go and save yours," Li Mu replied.

call!

Without further hesitation, Wuxing decisively unleashed a defensive divine power.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a silvery-white, semi-transparent light shield appeared around Li Mu's body.

After the light shield was formed, it began to expand and grow like a bubble, eventually enveloping all four Dao cultivators.

"Li Mu, wait a minute? This doesn't seem like your supernatural powers or magic?"

The beautiful Daoist cultivator immediately sensed it and turned to look at Li Mu in surprise, asking...

"That's right, this is a supernatural spell cast by a friend of mine," Li Mu replied.

"Hiss! This seems to be a non-Five Elements defensive divine power too! And it's much stronger than the previous protective array! The soul attacks that can penetrate it now are very weak! So you had a backup plan!"

"Yes! The soul attacks that have infiltrated us now don't require any defense, and they pose no threat to our primordial spirits! This non-Five Elements defense is truly powerful! It's given us quite a bit of worry and fear! Why didn't you say you had such a powerful backup plan sooner?"

"The non-Five Elements spiritual energy within this defensive divine power is incredibly concentrated! Not only concentrated, but also extremely pure!"

The other three Daoist cultivators immediately exclaimed in surprise and delight.

"Indeed! Could it be... that this defensive divine power was wielded by a being that is not one of the Five Elements? Li Mu, your friend... could he be a being that is not one of the Five Elements?!"

As expected, as soon as Wuxing used his supernatural powers, the most powerful and knowledgeable beautiful Daoist cultivator immediately sensed something amiss.

She narrowed her beautiful eyes and looked at Li Mu, asking a question.

"I... I don't know what you mean by non-Five Elements beings, but I do know that they can perform non-Five Elements supernatural powers and spells."

Li Mu deliberately pretended to be confused, even though he knew the truth.

He can't just directly reveal the beings of the Five Elements and their indiscriminate nature.

At this moment, Wuxing, inside the spatial magic artifact, was also very nervous, even terrified.

To be honest, even if he were still under the suppression of his seal, he would never be a match for these four old monsters, not even at his peak.

If it weren't for the soul oath they had made to Li Mu, Wuxing would never have dared to reveal his identity as a being of the Five Elements in front of them.

"What?! Non-Five Elements Beings?! You mean those legendary non-Five Elements life forms that possess non-Five Elements primordial spirits, essences, and marrow?!"

The skinny Daoist was so shocked that his eyes widened.

"My God! No way! Does such a wondrous spirit of heaven and earth really exist?" The burly female Taoist cultivator's eyes widened in astonishment.

"It is said that if one obtains the primordial soul essence of a being that is not one of the Five Elements, the primordial soul will possess non-Five Elements attributes! Not only will it greatly increase one's strength, but more importantly, it can also greatly increase the success rate of transcending the Heavenly Tribulation!" The fat Daoist cultivator exclaimed in surprise, blinking his eyes.

Li Mu could see the greed in their shocked eyes.

This is not surprising. Li Mu felt that their reaction was normal after learning about the value of non-Five Elements beings to powerful cultivators in the Immortal Realm.

However, Wuxing, who was still casting spells to maintain the protective light shield, saw the four Dao cultivators looking like hungry wolves eyeing a large piece of fat meat, and his fear intensified.

"Senior sister, are you sure the one using this supernatural power right now is not a being that doesn't belong to the Five Elements?"

At this moment, the skinny Daoist suddenly switched to using soul transmission to ask the beautiful Daoist.

"Yes, Senior Sister, are you sure?" The other two cultivators also asked simultaneously via telepathy.

"It's probably true. Unfortunately, we've already sworn a soul oath to Li Mu, forbidding him from harming anyone around him. Even if the other party isn't a being of the Five Elements, we dare not do anything!"

The beautiful Daoist cultivator responded to the three of them using telepathy.

"Damn it! It seems this brat was prepared all along! Otherwise, why would he make us make such a soul oath to him?" the fat Daoist said.

"That's right, this kid is very cunning! He pretends not to know that this creature is not a creature of the Five Elements, but he clearly knows that if we expose this non-Five Elements creature, we will definitely capture it."

The burly female Taoist said through gritted teeth.

"This Li Mu truly possesses heaven-defying fortune! He even has an extremely rare non-Five Elements being by his side! Senior Sister, perhaps..."

A sinister glint flashed in the skinny Daoist's eyes.

"Second Junior Brother, are you saying that we used a joint secret technique, violated our soul oath, and forcibly snatched away the non-Five Elements beings beside Li Mu?" The beautiful Daoist cultivator's eyebrows trembled slightly.

"Yes, this is a rare find among beings of the Five Elements, a true treasure of heaven and earth!" the skinny Daoist replied.

"Second Senior Brother, if we use this secret technique and violate our soul oath, we will all suffer a backlash from the Heavenly Dao, and our cultivation will plummet!"

"That's what the burly female Taoist priest said."

"If our cultivation level drops, we can start over, but if we can't overcome the Heavenly Tribulation, there will be no chance to start over!"

"That's what the skinny Daoist said."

"I think Second Senior Brother is right. Now that we've encountered such an opportunity, how can we miss it? Once this non-elemental being helps us break free of the seal, we'll immediately use our secret technique to capture it!"

"That's what the obese Taoist priest said."

The beautiful Daoist cultivator pondered for a moment, then said, "This matter needs further consideration. Let's at least wait until we successfully break through the seal before making any decisions."

"Senior sister, once we break through the seal, the power of heaven and earth will quickly expel us from this mortal universe. By then, it might be too late! Why don't we use the secret technique now to control these non-elemental beings first, just in case things get complicated?"

The obese Taoist priest offered his advice.

While the four Daoist cultivators were communicating telepathically, Li Mu could actually guess what they were discussing.

Although we couldn't hear what they were saying, their expressions and micro-expressions betrayed their feelings at that moment.

It would be a lie to say that Li Mu wasn't nervous at that moment.

If these four people succumb to the temptation of evil, things will immediately spiral out of control, and the most dangerous person might actually be him!

The reason is simple: Wu Xing's exposure and actions mean that his so-called "savior" has completely lost his value.

If these four evil Taoist cultivators have the ability to break their soul oath, they could kill him at any moment!
