Is the message true or false? Elder Wu hesitated for a moment but ultimately decided to flee. It's better to believe it's true than to risk it being false. In any case, safety comes first.
The Five Elements Sect treats Loose Cultivators who master the Four Arts of Cultivation favorably; war is a contest not only of strength but also of resources.
Although Elder Wu was a Talisman Master, his specialty, the Demon-Spottng Talisman, was of little use in the war between the two sects. His only value would be to serve as cannon fodder on the battlefield.
Elder Wu didn't dare to attend the trade meet. He decisively packed up the few items in his underground chamber and made a run for it at the first opportunity.
He's gone? Jia Ren watched Elder Wu hurry away, believing his warning had taken effect.
Whether I'll be able to acquire his Demon-Spottng Talisman Technique in the future will be up to fate.
Time to go watch the show at the underground trade meet.
