Chapter 121: Chapter 109: Death?_i

Translator: 549690339

This was a sealed secret room, almost a hundred meters in length and width, with the only source of light being a glowing pearl the size of a fist hanging from the ceiling.

The walls seemed to be made of some sort of metal, incredibly smooth and slick.

Black chains, fixed to these walls, pierced through the chests of man after man, appearing as if they were grown from within the body.

The men’s expressions were lifeless, as if they were devoid of any consciousness.

As Mu Yunwan led Xu Mu into the room, these men, fused with the metal chains, didn’t bother raising their heads, as if they couldn’t hear or see anything.

“Friend Mu, I should be of more use to you alive, wouldn’t it be unnecessary to turn me into something like this?” Xu Mu said calmly.

Since things had become irreversible, he could only accept his fate.

He believed that given his worth, even as a slave, he should be at the upper echelon. Yes, a slave!

Don’t worry! With your value, you w not end up like these low-level blood slaves!” Mu Yunwan said with a light laugh.

Then why have you brought me here?”

Of course, it’s to control you with a secret technique!”

Mu Yunwan pinched his face, like one would tease a small pet.

I not only want your person, I also want your heart!”

These words, sweet to the cars of lovers, sent a ching shiver down Xu Mu’s spine.

Controlling both the body and heart of a cultivator is difficult, especially for one at the Foundation Establishment Stage like himself. If it were easy, the Cultivation World would have been in chaos long ago. However, geniuses are never in shortage.

And the Butian Pavilion, it is said, specializes in this.

He felt a genuine sense of impending doom!

He quickly opened his system to see if there was any way to break free.

Seeing Xu Mu silent, Mu Yunwan didn’t bother too much. This was not her first time doing something like this, she could almost do this with her eyes closed.

After casually tossing him on the ground, Mu Yunwan walked alone to the wall and smoothly input several spells into it.

Hum!

Silver-colored runes began to emerge on the wall, densely covering almost every area.

This included the iron chains!

The men, fused with the chains, showed slight fluctuations amidst their formerly vacant expressions.

Mu Yunwan paid no mind to this.

She took out medium-grade Spirit Stones one after another, placing them on various nodes. As the runes flickered, the Spirit Stones naturally integrated into the wall.

With the continuous integration of the Spirit Stones, the glow of the runes became even brighter.

The men fused with the chains seemed to gradually regain their vigor.

Just then, a terrifying Divine Intent suddenly swept into the room.

Xu Mu’s heart pounded.

This Divine Intent was staggeringly strong, far surpassing all the Golden Core Stage cultivators he knew of.

Could it be

The Nascent Soul Stage!!!

“Wan’er, why are you in my secret room again?”

A cool, doting female voice echoed in the secret room.

“Mother, I just want to use your Yin and Yang Harmony Formation to control this man!”

Mu Yunwan didn’t stop her actions, it was clear she had expected the intrusion.

“Oh?”

The woman, suspected of being in the Nascent Soul Stage, seemed slightly surprised as she soon covered Xu Mu with her Divine Intent, seeping into his body to inspect him closely.

The activation of Yin and Yang Harmony Formation is not cheap, she wanted to see if her daughter was causing a ruckus or if the man indeed had any value.

“What pure Qi and blood! And he’s practicing both thunder and fire!”

A hint of surprise slipped into the woman’s voice.

This kind of potential is indeed worth using Yin and Yang Harmony Formation on!”

The cost of using the Yin and Yang Harmony Formation was high, but its benefits were considerable. It would not affect a cultivator’s potential after control.

Techniques that seal the soul usually have a huge impact on the cultivator’s potential and arc generally only used to control those old cultivators with little potential.

“Do you need me to do it?”

“No need! He’s just in the middle of the Foundation Establishment, I can do it myself!”

Be careful then!

With a warning, the mysterious Nascent Soul withdrew her Divine Intent.

Mu Yunwan quickly finished placing the Spirit Stones, turning to walk towards Xu Mu as she shed her robes, revealing a perfect body.

“What are you trying to do? Don’t come near me!”

At this moment Xu Mu could only yell out in despair.

“Relax! It w be over soon!

Before her words had fully settled, the runes in the secret room suddenly lit up.

The men, fused with the chains, finally regained their senses, wincing in agony, their bodies glowing an unnatural red. Pure Qi and blood emanated from their bodies, flowing through the chains into the Formation on the walls.

At the same time, a layer of light emerged under Mu Yunwan and Xu Mu’s feet, enveloping them.

A large amount of silver runes flowed into Mu Yunwan’s body, causing her aura to rise continuously as her overall allure grew stronger.

This was a w, a desire to devoutly submit to her forever!

Xu Mu, having read the Sky-Replenishing Jue, knew that she was deploying an extremely high-level charm technique. Once controlled by it, a brand would be left deep in the soul, almost impossible to break free from.

Chirp!

In his sea of consciousness, Xu Mu immediately merged his spirit with the Bluebird, and used his Sound Wave Divine Sks with all his might to resist, preventing his consciousness from being seized.

“Stop resisting! Under the support of the formation, even a Golden Core Stage cultivator is useless!”

A contemptuous smile spread across Mu Yunwan’s face as she reached out and touched his cheek.

Xu Mu’s teeth chattered, his facial expression was nearly impossible to maintain.

“Next, you w become my hundred and first Cauldron!”

Mu Yunwan overwhelmed him.

However, a moment later her face suddenly changed significantly.

After letting him enter, she found herself unable to control her body.

“What kind of secret technique is this? Could it be Yin and Yang Harmony… impossible…”

[Yin and Yang Harmony One Hundred and Eight Techniques +5520]!

[Yin and Yang Harmony One Hundred and Eight Techniques Perfection; 120/100000]!

After some time, Xu Mu slowly rose from the ground.

Looking at Mu Yunwan, who had lost all signs of life due to the backlash of her martial method, Xu Mu’s expression was odd.

He did not expect that, after the key point of contact between the two, the normally active secret technique of Yin and Yang Harmony, would automatically operate as if it had encountered delicious prey.

At that time, he who was barely able to hold on, without any regard, put all the remaining Luck Value into it.

He elevated it to the Perfection level!

Normally, this kind of improvement would consume spirit energy, somewhat similar to Body Refinement.

However, Xu Mu was immobilized by an Immobilize Talisman and unable to move, and therefore was unable to replenish his spirit energy.

Under normal circumstances, such a large round of enhancement would definitely consume a significant portion of his lifespan to replenish the loss of spirit energy. Whether he could survive or not would be a question.

But this time, he absorbed spirit energy directly from Mu Yunwan’s body, replacing his own consumption.

In the end, not only did the sk successfully advance, but his cultivation level also broke through to the sixth level of Foundation Establishment, whereas Mu Yunwan was directly…

Damn!

Dead!

Feeling the surging spiritual power within his body, Xu Mu felt a complex mix of emotions.

Originally, he thought he had fallen into a terrible misfortune, but he didn’t expect it to turn into a great stroke of good luck.

“She delivered herself to my door, helping me advance, and even lost her own life in the process. Where else can I find such a good woman!”

“If it weren’t for the fact that she’s dead, I wouldn’t mind accepting you!”

“However, since you’ve done so many good deeds, let’s do it thoroughly!”

The Bluebird flew out from Xu Mu’s body, its four eyes opened simultaneously, slowly extracting an usive spirit from Mu Yunwan’s corpse.

Unlike normal spirits that struggle, Mu Yunwan seemed bewildered, completely lacking consciousness.

“It seems the backlash from the martial method was quite severe, even the divine soul shows signs of damage! It really is—

a matter of reaping what you sow!”

Xu Mu did not feel a sense of pity.

If he had been controlled by her, his fate would potentially be ten, a hundred times more miserable than hers.

He immediately commanded the Bluebird to swallow Mu Yunwan’s spirit and then flowback into his body, starting to examine her memories.

With Xu Mu’s Crimson Spirit Jue reaching the Transcendent stage, his ability to examine memories also greatly enhanced.

He can now completely replay short term memories within the spirit.

He is now in the stronghold of Butian Pavilion, and without these memories, it would be difficult for him to escape, so don’t blame him for being ruthless.

A moment later, Xu Mu opened his eyes, removed Mu Yunwan’s storage bag, refined it, and took out a waist plaque from it.

This is the waist plaque representing Mu Yunwan’s identity. With it, he could move freely in the entire Butian Pavilion. Leaving here would not be difficult.

However, thinking about Mu Yunwan’s identity from her memories, Xu Mu st felt somewhat ched.

Mu Yunwan’s mother, named Mu Yuchan, is the woman who used Divine Intent to investigate this place not long ago. She is one of the three Pavilion Masters of Butian Pavilion.

A strong Nascent Soul Stage cultivator who made her name known throughout the Cangming Sea three hundred years ago!

Mu Yunwan is her only daughter, extremely spoiled.

If Mu Yuchan knew that Mu Yunwan had died because of him, the consequences would be imaginable.

However, as things have reached this point, it was not possible for him to kneel before her and admit his mistake.

“I can only wait until my strength is enough and reluctantly reunite them!”

Collecting Mu Yunwan’s corpse into his storage bag, Xu Mu looked at the Medicining People around him whose bodies were left with nothing but skin and bones, his eyes flickered for a moment, and he ked them one by one, reducing their bodies to ashes.

Xu Mu didn’t destroy their divine spirits, instead, he used talismans to lighten their souls.

These people were imprisoned here from a young age, living on a special type of spiritual medicine, their only purpose being to provide blood energy for the operation of the formation.

They were no different from pigs and dogs. King them was a form of release for them.

They held no grudges against each other, and instead empathized with their common fate, Xu Mu would not want to destroy souls unreasonably.

After quickly cleaning up the traces, Xu Mu took a deep breath, and without daring to stay any longer, immediately left the secret room.

Every hour, someone would check the place where Mu Yunwan’s life token was stored. His time was very limited.

After a smooth exit from usional Sea City, Xu Mu immediately executed the Flame Thunder Wings, not sparing any spiritual power, and fled at the fastest speed.

His luck was very good, the extreme weather of the storm season effectively concealed the traces of his departure.

Not long after,

a terrifying, suppressed, and angry Divine Intent enveloped the entire usional Sea City..
