Chapter 368: Chapter 337: Broken Space Secret_1

“How did you get out?”

Lu Jingkong, who was about to attack the Formation from the outside, was stunned to see Xu Mu breaking through the Formation and escaping.

The Blood River Formation, laid out by the Blood Demon Ancestor according to his own Martial Method, was powerfully formidable and even she would find it difficult to escape from it if she was completely trapped. freewebnøvel.com

Although the area they were in wasn’t the center of the Formation, under the stimulation of the Blood Demon Ancestor’s vigor and energy, its power was nearly as strong as the center’s.

In such a situation, even she wasn’t confident to break away for a second time. How on earth did Xu Mu manage to break through the Formation while being tangled with two Nascent Souls at the same stage?

“Does Senior want me to stay put instead!” Xu Mu laughed, but he also sighed a sigh of relief inwardly. He didn’t expect the Blood Demon Ancestor’s Formation to be so powerful, he was almost trapped, and at that point, even if he was fully prepared, escape would be unlikely.

“Of course not! What’s that treasure you’re holding?”

Lu Jingkong’s gaze was immediately drawn to the Sky-splitting Halberd in Xu Mu’s hand.

“Just an ancient treasure!”

Xu Mu quickly put it away, speaking indifferently.

“Ancient treasure?”

Lu Jingkong’s eyes revealed a trace of doubt, but she did not probe further.

“Senior, let’s leave this place first,” Xu Mu suggested.

“Alright!”

Lu Jingkong nodded in agreement.

The two quickly turned into two rays of Escape Light and swiftly flew away. Shortly after, the Formation ceased to operate, and the three Blood Demon Ancestors flew out from inside.

“What should we do next? If we let these two escape, I’m afraid we’ll never have peace again!” Fire Demon Ancestor voiced his concern.

Him being weaker than those two, if they were to launch a surprise attack on him, he might fall into their hands.

“Having acted, there’s no point in regretting it now. Wasn’t it you who suggested this in the first place?” Blood Demon Ancestor grimly retorted.

“I, I…”

Fire Demon Ancestor was left speechless, unsure of what else to say.

Although it was indeed his idea to act, he hadn’t expected Xu Mu to be so tough to deal with, and they had even made provision for the possible appearance of Lu Jingkong.

After all, throughout the entire Outer Sea, only Lu Jingkong had the Twelve Startle Cicada Skill. Now that Xu Mu suddenly revealed it, it was hard for them not to suspect.

“No need to say more. Despite their strong capabilities, as long as you are cautious and stay within the Formation, they can do nothing to you,” the Blood Demon Ancestor advised.

“What if they attack my disciples?” Fire Demon Ancestor asked.

“Just let them. To us, all those disciples represent is high-quality material!”

After saying this, the Blood Demon Ancestor turned and flew back into the city. The commotion was too big; he had to appease his subordinates.

“I guess there’s no other option. Damn it!” The Fire Demon Ancestor cursed helplessly.

The forces of the Outer Sea differed from those of the Cang Ming Ocean Territory. Here, under the pressure from both sides, they lived in constant fear of dissolution. Under such circumstances, no one really bothered to develop their forces. Their disciples were just expendable pawns. This was true not only for practitioners of Demonic Dao, but also for cultivators of the Immortal Dao.

Not long after Lu Jingkong disappeared, his forces quickly crumbled, for similar reasons.

Of course, there was also the fact that they had added fuel to the fire, even directly taking action.

During the time Lu Jingkong was present, the two sides couldn’t stand each other. Naturally, they wouldn’t hesitate to kick him while he was down now that he was gone.

“Five Poisons! Has that Sea Race fellow died yet?”

Fire Demon Ancestor inquired of the remaining green-robed cultivator.

They had poisoned the Sea Race fellow before the trade. No matter whether the trade succeeded or failed, Xu Mu would not get off scot-free. Depending on the capability of the green-robed cultivator, they could track him and leave him with nowhere to hide.

“I’ve lost sensation!”

The green-robed cultivator replied with just one sentence, before turning and flying toward the city.

“What? What the hell did you do?”

Fire Demon Ancestor couldn’t help being furious. If that was the case, wouldn’t they have lost both their wife and soldiers?

“If you’re not satisfied, you can handle these things yourself next time!” The green-robed cultivator responded coldly.

She was already very unhappy herself, and yet the Fire Demon Ancestor was complaining about her.

“I…”

The Fire Demon Ancestor wanted to retort but was speechless. Although he also used poison, he was nowhere near as adept as the green-robed cultivator.

In the end, he could only grumble to himself. Meanwhile, Xu Mu, having left Blood Shadow City, landed on an uninhabited island after flying for more than a thousand miles.

“Do you want to know why they held this auction?”

Lu Jingkong stood on a reef, allowing the seabreeze to blow through her clean white robes.

“It should be to attract a high-level Imperial Clan member for the Kun Peng True Blood, which I heard was related to the Broken Space Secret!”

Xu Mu didn’t hide anything and told her everything he knew.

“That’s right! You know quite a lot!” Lu Jingkong smiled. “Indeed, there is a place called the Broken Space Secret where you need the Kun Peng True Blood to enter, but there isn’t any treasure inside, that is, treasures as far as ordinary cultivators are concerned.”

“Senior, how do you know?” Xu Mu asked.

“I once went in and almost perished inside!” Lu Jingkong exclaimed.

“Why is Senior telling me all this?” Xu Mu was puzzled.

Previously, whenever he asked, Lu Jingkong was unwilling to talk. But now she voluntarily told him.

“I want to invite you to go in with me!” Lu Jingkong turned to look at Xu Mu, eyes shining intensely.

“Why?”

“Because you’re strong and resourceful!”

Today’s battle had shown her that Xu Mu was absolutely devious. Some of his moves were so cunning that even she found it hard to cope with them.

Thinking about it, it was all very normal, someone who could cultivate to the Nascent Soul Stage within a hundred years from the Foundation Establishment Stage could hardly be an ordinary person.

“But Senior, you said there’s no treasure in there. Why risk it?” Xu Mu asked, puzzled.

“To others, indeed there’s nothing of significant value. But to us, there lies a priceless treasure!” Lu Jingkong said with a smile.

“What treasure?” Xu Mu asked curiously.

“Kun Peng True Blood!”

Upon hearing these words, Xu Mu’s pupils couldn’t help but shrink.

He knew that the Kun Peng True Blood that Lu Jingkong referred to couldn’t possibly be the mixed blood of the Sea Race Imperial Clan, it was likely the blood of a True Spirit.

The blood of a True Spirit Beast was itself a priceless treasure, but for people like them who had cultivated the Twelve Startle Cicada Skill, it was invaluable. If they could infuse the bloodline of the True Spirit Beast, the boost to their power would be unimaginable.

“Is there Kun Peng True Blood, is that place where the Kun Peng fell?” Xu Mu asked anxiously.

If it was really where the Kun Peng had fallen, then there wouldn’t just be Kun Peng True Blood. There might also be bones and feathers, which would greatly enhance the power of his magic weapon.

“Apparently, you don’t know. The Broken Space Secret was actually formed where the Kun Peng fell! It is said that the rise of the Imperial Clan of the Sea Race also has something to do with the Broken Space Secret!” said Lu Jingkong with a smile. “So, would you like to join me?”

“Alright! I agree! When do we depart?”

If it had been earlier, he might not have been willing to take the risk, but now that his mind had changed, he didn’t want to miss this opportunity.

“My strength has not fully recovered yet, I still need to prepare some things. It will take at least ten years! I’ll let you know when I’m ready!” said Lu Jingkong.

“Alright then!”

After that, Lu Jingkong bid him farewell and left. Xu Mu stayed where he was. Not long afterwards, two beams of Escape Light flew towards him from the direction of Blood Shadow City.
