Chapter 272: Chapter 241: Random Transmission Array 1

“Hm?”

Liu Wuheng was somewhat puzzled by Xu Mu’s decision to escape together with them.

While the Nascent Soul elder of Tianyang Palace was domineering, it was impossible for him to make a killing spree here. There was no need for Xu Mu to take such risks with them.

Friend Liu, do not ask too much! I can’t conveniently explain the reason!” Xu Mu responded calmly.

“Alright then!” Liu Wuheng nodded without asking further and continued, ‘However, this is a random transmission array, I’m not sure where exactly it will send us to!”

The reason they constructed the black market here was because of an ancient transmission array. Regardless of what danger they might encounter, they could calmly escape.

“No problem!”

The potential dangers of the transmission array were clearly less risky compared to being caught by the Nascent Soul elder of Tianyang Palace.

Xu Mu didn’t dare to bet that his grudges with the Tianyang Palace were over.

“Follow me!”

Liu Wuheng transformed into an escape light and flew towards the centre of the black market. His brothers in the black market also followed suit.

Rumble!

The formation was still shaking violently. It was estimated that in a few tens of breaths, it would be completely broken.

Liu Wuheng squeezed his finger Jue, and a huge ancient transmission array emerged from the surface of the lake, densely embedded with spirit stones.

The formation was activated, a beam of light rose into the sky, and Liu Wuheng and others entered one by one, vanishing in an instant.

The technology to create transmission arrays had long been lost. The transmission arrays that remained on the continent were all created in ancient times.

The most precious were the directional transmission arrays which could greatly shorten the distance between two places.

Random transmission arrays, on the other hand, were basically used for escaping. Although their value was discounted, they were still expensive.

As the defensive array was about to break, Xu Mu didn’t dare to hesitate and directly stepped in.

Originally, he had thought he would be teleported away like the others, but the Patch of Sky” in his storage bag, whose purpose he didn’t know, suddenly reacted. A massive spatial fluctuation appeared around him.

After a bout of dizziness, Xu Mu found himself in a strange place.

Due to extreme vertigo, Xu Mu temporarily lost control of his spiritual power and fell from the sky.

A loud bang rang out, a large hole was smashed in the roof, and Xu Mu crashed heavily onto the ground. The few people discussing matters in the house were startled.

Xu Mu sat up, shook his head, but still felt a little dizzy.

This transmission array was really too unstable!

Also, what was the deal with that token? It didn’t teleport him to some weird place, did it?

Before Xu Mu could figure out the situation, an icy question came.

“Who are you? Are you from the Palm Immortal Office of the Da Yuan Dynasty?”

The dozen or so cultivators present drew their magic artifacts simultaneously. Two of them released restraint type treasures, firmly trapping Xu Mu.

Due to the lingering effects of the teleportation, Xu Mu had no strength to resist.

He shook his head vigorously, took a few deep breaths, and finally managed to concentrate enough to examine his surroundings.

He was in a rather shabby-looking room. A dozen cultivators, dressed in robes and with cultivation bases across Foundation Establishment and Golden Core Stage, were staring at him.

Some were wary, some were confused, some were curious, and some glared at him with hatred. Their reactions varied.

The only commonality was that they all carried a faint scent of blood, clearly not well-intentioned individuals.

“I’m sorry, I…”

Xu Mu tried to get up to speak, but found he was too tightly restrained to stand up.

“Fellow cultivators, could you untie me first?” Xu Mu smiled.

Everyone simply stared at him coldly, no one responded.

“I accidentally ended up here because of a malfunction in the transmission array. I mean no harm!” Xu Mu said with a bitter smile.

Judging by the demeanor of the crowd, it seemed as though they were conspiring something. His sudden appearance here in such a state was indeed unfortunate.

A teleportation accident? Hmm! You really are quite the fabricator!”

One of them snidely commented.

“If you want me to believe you, just open your sea of consciousness for me to see!” Someone else sneered.

“You really want to do this? I told you it was an accident!” Xu Mu sighed, “If you insist on this, then I have no choice but to resist!”

“Resist? Hahaha!”

The crowd burst into laughter. Xu Mu was at the Golden Core stage just like them, but how could he break free now when he was bound by two magic treasures?

To them, Xu Mu was a lamb ready for the slaughter.

“Boss! Whether this guy is from the Palm Immortal Office or not, since he suddenly broke in and fell into our hands, we can’t let him off! If we refine him into the Blood Pill, we can increase our Golden Core stage strength!”

Someone muttered, secretly transmitting this to the leader.

The leader’s eyes flickered and turned colder.

“Enough talking! Dig out his Golden Pill first!” The leading cultivator said coldly.

“You really want to do this?” Xu Mu’s smile faded, and he asked coldly.

Although these people did not seem to be good guys, this incident truly was accidental. He did not want conflict.

Of course, no one paid him any mind. The two who controlled the magical treasures squeezed their finger Jue to maximize the power of their magic treasures, binding Xu Mu firmly.

Someone released a flying sword, preparing to launch an attack on Xu Mu.

Seeing this scene, Xu Mu knew that things would not end well today and could only sigh helplessly.

Why are you forcing me to do this?!

Roar!

A melodious roar emanated from Xu Mu’s body. The next moment, his body began to swell and his features twisted, transforming into a half-human, half­whale creature.

Xu Mu activated the bloodline of the Earth-splitting Whale within him!

As the bloodline was stimulated, an oppressive aura radiated from Xu Mu.

Buzz!

The magic treasures binding Xu Mu, the large net and rope artifact, started to flicker violently, as if they were about to break at any moment.

“Quickly!”

No one had expected him to possess such divine technique. The leader urgently issued an order.

“Ahh!”

Before anyone could attack, Xu Mu roared, and a fierce white flame erupted from his body. It was the Great Sun Refining Shape Skill being activated.

Bang!

The restraints on Xu Mu, the magic treasure net and rope, shattered under Xu Mu’s horrifying strength. The two cultivators controlling the magical treasures were affected and directly coughed up blood.

At the same time, the crowd’s attack also landed on him!

Squish! Squish!

Xu Mu’s body was pierced in an instant, making him resemble a hedgehog. However, with the power of dual techniques, these magic artifacts barely breached his defenses.

Bang!

The Sky-splitting Halberd materialized in Xu Mu’s hand. Under the power of two abilities, he slashed fiercely.

The two closest cultivators were instantly blown away under this force.

The Great Sun Refining Skill combined with the Earth-splitting Whale’s bloodline led to a formidable force that surpassed Xu Mu’s expectations.

“Don’t be scared! He must have used a desperate secret technique and can’t hold on much longer! Let’s take revenge for Friend Luo! Kill him!”
