Hearing this, the wild Mo Xuanwu's eyes dimmed: ”Even if my legs are broken, this small Raging Blade Sect still can't lock me down. It's not that I can't get out, it's that I don't want to get out. ”

Recalling the events from the past, Mo Xuanwu's expression darkened as his eyes sunk into a deep mist.

Jiang Shuo looked at him quietly. Since Mo Xuanwu wasn't willing to explain the reason, he didn't ask further, ”Senior Mo, how should I get out?”

More than once since he had fallen into the water prison, he had searched for a way out. There were only two exits to the water prison. One was the stone door he fell through, while the other was the window above his head. The window was very far away, and it was impossible to reach it with just a leap. The top of the water prison was a semicircle, and there was no place to climb to. It was impossible to leave from there. The only hope was the stone door. The stone door was inlaid on one side of the wall, but it was one with the stone wall. The surface was very smooth. Even if he climbed along the chain and jumped onto the iron ring directly above him, there was no place for him to land. As a result, he could only fall straight into the water.

”Every day at 7: 00 AM, at noon, at 10: 00 PM, there will be disciples of the Raging Blade Sect who will bring me food. At that time, I will naturally be able to help you get out.” Mo Xuanwu said.

The water prison was dark, and Jiang Shuo had no idea how much time had passed. He saw that Mo Xuanwu had a lot of leftovers that he had never seen before, and guessed that the Berserker Blade Sect disciple must have delivered food while he was unconscious: ”Senior Mo, how many days have I been here?”

”Seven days.” Mo Xuanwu replied.

”What?” Jiang Shuo was shocked, he only had about one day of memories. Although he had fainted twice, he had not expected that he had fainted for such a long time.

When he thought about how the situation in the outside world had developed after he had been missing for seven days, Jiang Shuo could not help but be worried.

”Remember, once you leave this place, you are not allowed to mention my name to anyone. Also, you are not allowed to reveal information about your father, Crimson Cloud Stronghold, or Nine Furnace Mountain. As they were about to separate, Mo Xuanwu instructed one by one.

After personally experiencing the sacred art of meridian devouring, Jiang Shuo naturally could imagine what kind of dangers Mo Xuanwu, with his unique skill, had experienced during his travels in the martial arts world. Mo Xuanwu had provoked many enemies, and he was probably worried that he would be implicated.

Jiang Shuo lowered his head to look at the glimmering Hundred Lives Bone, and asked curiously, ”When I was in the Crimson Cloud Village, I had never seen this Hundred Lives Bone glow, but not long after I came out, it shone three times. What is going on?”

Just a casual question caused Mo Xuanwu to frown. He hurriedly asked, ”Three times?”

Jiang Shuo informed him that when he met Zhu Ming in Yulin City, Jiang Shuo could only guess that he was a big shot of the imperial court, but he couldn't confirm his identity.

Mo Xuanwu's expression was normal with regards to the Scarlet Cloud Stronghold's vicious beast guardian as well as himself. He was only slightly surprised when he heard about his encounter with Zhu Ming.

Mo Xuanwu immediately inquired about the situation before smiling faintly, ”What a coincidence. To think that you would meet him the moment you appeared.”

Hearing Mo Xuanwu's tone, as if he knew who Zhu Ming was, Jiang Shuo hurriedly asked, ”Senior Mo, why is it that when I see him, the Life Bones shine?”

”This …” Mo Xuanwu's expression returned to normal, but he avoided speaking about it. He said, ”You just need to remember that in the future, as long as the Hundred Lives Bone shines, you can escape.”

”Hmm?” Jiang Shuo was even more unable to understand. If it was said that those with the light of the Life Bones wanted to harm him, then Zhu Ming and Mo Xuanwu would not do such a thing.

He wanted to ask more, but Mo Xuanwu waved his hand, interrupting him, ”When you leave, a fierce battle will be waiting for you. You should hurry up and familiarize yourself with the Swallowing Vein Divine Art. Also, remind yourself that not only is it someone else's internal energy, even your own internal energy may conflict with the Swallowing Pulse God Art. In the future, you must be extremely careful when you learn martial arts. However, the good news is that your Sealing Ancient Art is not affected at all. ”

”…” Jiang Shuo was stunned, speechless.

It was fortunate that Mo Xuanwu had confidently declared that he would be able to absorb all the benefits without a single hitch, but in the end, there was still such a large limit.

Warriors could usually learn many inner force cultivation methods. Although there were some conflicts between them, the most they could do was affect the power of the technique. They would never be like the Pulse Swallowing Divine Art and devour the body.

Mo Xuanwu's one sentence basically referred to Jiang Shuo. In order to be safe, he could only learn one kind of internal energy technique. He also had to rely on luck and not engage in a battle with the Swallowing Pulse God Art.

If it wasn't for the fact that he was worried about his successor, Mo Xuanwu wouldn't even tell him that he had learned a bunch of inner force cultivation techniques and died early on.

”Then... Um, Senior Mo, didn't you get tricked by someone back then and learned the Meridian Swallowing Divine Art? ” Jiang Shuo asked bitterly.

”That's not true. I learned it on my own accord. I even destroyed my own internal energy in order to learn the Meridian Devouring Divine Art.” Ignoring the hatred in Jiang Shuo's voice, as if he admired the courage of his youth, Mo Xuanwu said to himself, ”This was all thanks to your father, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to learn the Swallowing Pulse God Art.”

”My father?” Jiang Shuo's eyes narrowed. ”Does this have anything to do with my father?”

”Of course …” As Mo Xuanwu spoke, he suddenly thought of something and waved his hand, ”This is all a matter of the past. Why are you mentioning it?”

Jiang Shuo's eyes sparkled. Ever since he was born, this was the first time he came in contact with his father's past.
