“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.
