“Who?”

Xu Mu was suddenly startled, quickly pulled out his stick, and looked around in alarm.

“You defile my body, yet dared to ask who I am? Kneel down at once and take your own life, or I will surely cast your soul into the flames of the netherworld, where it shall smolder for ten thousand years!”

The voice resounded once more in Xu Mu’s heart, the fury in its tone was so intense that it almost incinerated Xu Mu.

Defile the body?

Xu Mu lowered his head looking to the side at the tool corpse laying on the ground.

Hair was scattered about like a wave of the black sea, covering half of the blanket. The eyes were almost closed, the face expressionless, one hand splayed out, the other gently placed on the chest.

The clothes were newly replaced by Xu Mu, woven from delicate brocade and gold thread. Cuffs engraved with runes emitted a faint, mysterious glow, and around the waist was a thin gold belt, revealing a slim waist.

In the disarray of her sleeping position, there was an unparalleled beauty in her brokenness.

The serene scene of her closed eyes in slumber, as if she was awaiting something, it was irresistibly inviting to those wanting to explore her secrets.

“Lu Jingkong? You’re Lu Jingkong!!!”

To be honest, Xu Mu felt his legs shake a bit.

A once leading loose cultivator in the Outer Sea, a powerful practitioner in the Nascent Soul Stage!

Anyone upon hearing that would feel jittery.

In the other’s eyes, he could indeed only think of himself as an insignificant existence.

“Knowing who I am should make you fall to your knees!”

Lu Jingkong scoffed, suppressing his burning rage slightly.

Xu Mu remained motionless in his place.

After a moment of astonishment, he quickly recovered his senses and began to perceive anomalies in the other’s speech.

According to what he had just done, no matter who it happened to, it was an act that would surely invite swift retaliation without further discussion.

This kind of furious feeling seemed more like an uncontrollable rage, yet an impotent reaction.

Impotent?

A gleam sparked in Xu Mu’s eyes.

He quickly figured it out.

If the other party truly had the ability to harm him, then the Iron Corpse Superior would not have been allowed to carry away the body previously.

Besides, he had been in this space for several months. The other party neither spoke early nor late, but chose to speak at this moment, which was too coincidental.

As all the clues connected, he arrived at a conclusion.

Besides mental transmission, the other party had no other means to deal with him, otherwise he wouldn’t be helplessly furious.

However, it’s better to probe it out first.

“Junior Yinmu pays his respects to Elder Lu! May I inquire where Elder Lu is now? Could we perhaps meet face to face?”

No matter what the situation of the other party, for his own safety, he definitely cannot use his real name.

“I am within this small space. As to meet me, you are not worthy of that!”

Lu Jingkong snorted coldly, obviously showing disdain in his tone.

“Kneel and admit your mistake immediately, or I will annihilate your soul, making you unable to reincarnate forever!”

No chance of reincarnation forever, just you try!

Xu Mu chuckled to himself, yet his face remained expressionless.

“Although a junior, I am a man of integrity. I kneel before Heaven and Earth, before my parents, but never before anyone else.”

Xu Mu spoke with righteousness and an air of tragic solemnity.

Lu Jingkong was silent for a moment, unsure if he believed Xu Mu’s words or realized that Xu Mu was mocking him.

“I admire those with backbone the most. Since you have such character, I can offer you a chance to redeem yourself.”

“I’ll be honest, I’m temporarily trapped in a certain part of this space. If you’re willing to aid me in escaping, not only will I spare your life, but also become your companion in the path of spiritual cultivation, sharing both eternal life and ultimate bliss!”

“But if you don’t agree, with my cultivation level, once I escape, even if you run to the ends of the Earth, you won’t avoid death.”

Lu Jingkong’s words could be considered both a carrot and a stick.

This might work on ordinary cultivators but was ineffective on Xu Mu, becoming a laughing matter instead.

I’ve offended so many, what’s one more?

Even to the ends of the Earth?

Just as long as I cross the space rift, even if you’re at the Divinity Transformation Stage, you wouldn’t be able to do anything to me.

That’s why Xu Mu didn’t regard Lu Jingkong’s threats seriously at all.

On the contrary, he was considering how to benefit from her.

A trapped Nascent Soul stage expert, if managed well, could definitely bring him great benefits.

“It will be an honor for this junior to be of service to the elder. Please instruct me on how to free you from this confinement and I’ll get to it immediately!”

Xu Mu expressed his readiness with an appearance of overflowing gratitude.

“I can tell you the method, but first, you have to make a pledge.”

Having lived for over a thousand years, Lu Jingkong was not a fool and was not easily fooled.

“This junior always follows through on his promises! Elder, please feel reassured! As for the pledge, I think I’ll pass!” Xu Mu responded assertively.

At this point, even if Lu Jingkong was a fool, she would realize that Xu Mu was playing with her.

However, she restrained her anger, seemingly having spotted the ploy much earlier.

“Young man, do you really have no fear of death? Do you think without your help I cannot escape?”

“My patience is limited. This is your last chance, if you don’t agree, once I escape, you’ll regret ever coming to this world!”

Lu Jingkong’s words were ice-cold and carried a potent threat.

“Oh? I’ll regret coming to this world? Haha!”

Xu Mu couldn’t help laughing and stopped pretending.

“The one thing I fear least is a threat! So, I’ll also give you a chance. You must answer whatever I ask you. If you dare to refuse, I’ll make you regret coming to this world!”

Xu Mu believed that if the other party were in front of him right now, her teeth would likely be already ground to dust.

“Kid, I’ll remember you! Just you wait, once I get out, I’ll see how I deal with you!”

Lu Jingkong’s words were chilling to the extreme.

“Looks like you are unwilling to oblige.” Xu Mu said with a light laugh.

“Humph! Even if I don’t agree, what can you do to me? Are you going to enter the formation and kill me? I’d really welcome that!”

Lu Jingkong spoke with disdain.

She was trapped within the formation space, unable to interact with the outside world. Likewise, those from the outside were powerless against her. Fantasizing, they were.

She was more than willing for them to come in. It might provide her an additional toy to torture.

“Come in? No need! All I need to do–”

Xu Mu stepped on the iron tool corpse lying on the ground, pressing it directly onto the budding breast, without any mercy.

“You ant! Bastard! Shameless creature! Remove your foot at once!”

In the small space that remained,all that was left of Lu Jingkong was a Nascent Soul, filled with rage that almost stirred up her internal demons.

“I can grant your wish, but only if you swear to answer all my questions.”

“Dream on! Just you wait, I’ll tear you to pieces once I am free!”

Lu Jingkong was filled with anger, she certainly couldn’t agree.

However, in her mind, she had already conjured up ten thousand ways to torment Xu Mu. She swore if he didn’t suffer to the point of wishing for death, she’d write her name, Lu Jingkong, backwards.

“Tear me into pieces? Oh, please.”

Xu Mu smiled, pulling off his robes to reveal nothing underneath.

Lu Jingkong was fuming to the point of madness.

Anyone would explode with anger if they saw their body being so violated.

However, she was unwavering, her hatred only grew stronger, flowing like a river non-stop.

The humiliation she experienced was so intense, not even the waters of all the rivers and lakes could erase it.

“Huh? I think this is a bit too much!”

Xu Mu plucked a handful of hair.

Lu Jingkong remained silent, but the aura swelling within her space was akin to Armageddon.

Sadly, Xu Mu was oblivious, continuing to provoke her.

He took out a razor and began shaving.

“Stop it you bastard! Or for every scratch you make, I’ll slash you a thousand times!”

“Elder Lu’s words truly hurt me. I’m just helping Elder to clean up a bit. I believe once Elder experiences this cleanse, you will find it refreshing and thank me!”

“Damn you, stop! Stop!”

“I can stop, provided Elder agrees to my request.”

“In your dreams!”

“Well, then I must continue with my good deed! Elder, don’t worry. I’m very skilled at shaving.”

Lu Jingkong clenched her teeth, not uttering a word. She knew that no matter what she said, it would be useless.

Despite this, she made a mental oath to tear him to pieces once she got out.

However, she soon lost control of her emotions.

Xu Mu’s method was too despicable. He found a stick and inserted it into the rear passage, suspending her in the air like a roast fish.

Finally pulling out a knife to cut her hair, he planned to leave her fully shaven like a monk.

The smokes of rage almost arose from Lu Jingkong’s soul!

“Stop! I agree! I agree!”

She had lived for thousands of years, making her mark across the Outer Sea, a figure that almost everyone feared. Yet, she was reduced to submission by a man in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

“Why didn’t Elder say so earlier? Look at us now, in such a tense and harmful situation. If we’re wounded, it’s bad for everyone!”

Lu Jingkong didn’t say a word, she just wanted to kill Xu Mu.

As Lu Jingkong didn’t break the silence, Xu Mu refrained from further provoking her. He set down the tool corpse and plucked up the courage to say: “Please tell me everything you know about martial methods and secret skills!” “Impossible!”

Lu Jingkong refused instantly.

If she were to teach her own martial methods, he could study them and formulate strategies to control her completely.

A cultivator’s martial method is their root, especially for someone of her stage. It is of utmost importance, something that cannot be lightly revealed.

“In that case, I have no choice but to–”

As he spoke, Xu Mu prepared for the next round.

“Don’t bother. Even if you slice it into pieces, I won’t give in.”

Lu Jingkong was determined.

“In that case, it will have to be.”

Xu Mu stopped, realizing that he still needed to make use of it.

“Can Elder tell me why you are trapped here?”

“I don’t mind telling you. I found out from my subordinates that the corpse of a Land-Splitting Whale had fallen here. I wanted to check if I could find its skeleton and extract its essence from within.”

“Land-Splitting Whale? Could it be the same creature from legends that could tear through continents, the strongest sea monster?”

To select an appropriate monster beast blood essence, Xu Mu systematically studied the creatures of the sea. This would help him recognise these legendary creatures.

“You’re more knowledgeable than I thought! Correct! It’s precisely that!”

“Could it be–”

Xu Mu glanced around at the gigantic skeleton that supported the entire space.

The enormous size matched the description of the Land-Splitting Whale from legends. If it were alive, it would be a giant moving island.

“This skeleton?”

“What other monster beast could have such a humongous body size, besides the Land-Splitting Whale!”

“Why does Elder need the essence of the Land-Splitting Whale?”

“I need it for a martial method I am practicing.”

Lu Jingkong didn’t specify which method, but Xu Mu had a good guess.

The Twelve Startle Cicada Skill!

If Lu Jingkong hadn’t died as the legends said, she must have been successful in mastering this method.

Given her cultivation level, she would naturally look down on the blood essence of ordinary monster beasts. That’s why she traveled far to look for the skeleton of the Land-Splitting Whale.

At this point, Xu Mu’s heart began to pound uncontrollably.

The Land-Splitting Whale was the stuff of legends, its level was significantly higher than the Phantom Thunder Silver Shark.

If he could extract the essence of the Land-Splitting Whale and infuse it into his body, his strength could experience a substantial leap.

“Did Elder manage to extract the essence?”
