"Hmm?!" Mu Hua Jue's expression shifted slightly. There was no escape. He drew a deep breath. "I don't know him..."
"The Five Elements Dao Ancestor!" The elegant woman seemed rather hot-tempered, directly rebuking Mu Hua Jue. "Do you know him?"
"I do." Mu Hua Jue remained composed, retaining a measure of poise, though there was still an unyielding arrogance about him.

Pfft.
Mu Hua Jue could finally hold it in no longer. He spat out a mouthful of immortal blood, while the shattered mountains and rivers all around instantly restored themselves
