On one hand, he stimulated the Kind of Chaos True Seed, evoking the Two Forces of Life and Death to safeguard himself; on the other hand, he vigilantly watched the sky, awaiting the appearance of the Extraterrestrial Evil Beings of the Life and Death Sect.
He knew very well that the real danger hadn't arrived yet. Only when the Extraterrestrial Evil Beings from the Life and Death Sect appeared, would the true crisis begin.
Boom!
A palm-sized coffin, shrouded in Blood Qi, stained all over with fishy blood and constantly emanating a foul smell, flew out.
As soon as the coffin flew out, it instantly paused in mid-air.
The lid of the coffin abruptly opened.
As the lid of the coffin opened, a wave of death instantly hit his face.
Decay, senescence, foul smell, and lifelessness—these various scents instilled despair, leaving one to feel like they had already died.
Woo, woo!
The white banner, which was snatched away by the white illusion earlier, slowly flew out and headed towards the palm-sized Blood Coffin before falling into it.
Inside the Blood Coffin, the white banner changed its shape as soon as it fell.
An illusionistic version of Xiao Mu himself, shrunk by a hundredfold, appeared inside the Blood Coffin.
Xiao Mu's heart trembled, and a sense of extreme danger immediately surged from the depth of his soul.
He felt that the little man in the Blood Coffin and he were one, bound by a kind of shared fate.
It seemed that whatever happened to the little man would happen to him.
The Living Burial Technique? What kind of Secret Art was this?
Xiao Mu was shocked and felt anxious.
"Xiao Mu, be extremely cautious. Never let the lid of that Blood Coffin close. The moment the lid closes, you'll die, buried alive. This is the Living Burial Technique - sealed fate," warned Chen Juan again, fearful of Xu Yan noticing. After the reminder, she immediately retreated, distancing herself from Xiao Mu and cutting ties with him.
What?
The moment the lid closed, I would die? Be buried alive?
Chen Juan's words shocked Xiao Mu.
He felt a sense of horror in his heart.
How bizarre!
So, this was the Living Burial Technique.
If that's the case, under no circumstances could he let the lid of the coffin close.
Xiao Mu's gaze hardened as he stared at the palm-sized Blood Coffin floating in mid-air.
The lid of the Blood Coffin was temporarily suspended and showed no signs of falling.
It seemed that the lid of this Blood Coffin needed to be closed manually.
As Xiao Mu carefully observed, he quickly realized something.
A sigh of relief escaped from his heart.
Thank goodness, since the lid needed to be manually closed, there were still chances of recovery. Otherwise, it'd be too terrifying.
The appearance of the white banner was unstoppable, its entry into the Blood Coffin, likewise, was irresistible, and if the closing of the Blood Coffin also became irresistible, then who could withstand such a Living Burial Technique?
Perhaps not even a True Realm powerhouse could resist it.
This was clearly another Advanced Technique, a unique Advanced Technique of the Life and Death Sect.
Inside the Blood Coffin, the little man who was vaguely connected with Xiao Mu had a wooden expression, his eyes dull, as though he were a puppet completely manipulated, and he slowly laid himself down inside the Blood Coffin.
"You will not live long, your doom is certain. Xiao Mu, I advise you to hand over the rectangular jade slab, perhaps there is a slim chance of survival. Maybe I can help you get through this," said Xu Yan, looking at Xiao Mu with a cold smile, implying that if he didn't hand over the rectangular jade slab, his death was certain.
"You? Do you have the strength?"
Xiao Mu looked at Xu Yan calmly. The words he uttered, however, were full of contempt.
He had seen Xu Yan's capability a long time ago; he was merely at the Mid Fifth Realm.
An individual of the Mid Fifth Realm, even if he practiced secret arts, would at most possess low-level techniques due to his limitations. He couldn't possibly have Advanced Techniques.
A Mid Fifth Realm individual with access only to low-level techniques, could he really help when faced with the imminent threat of at least a late-stage Extraterrestrial Evil Being of the Life and Death Sect using an Advanced Technique?
Are you kidding me?
Xu Yan was angry, "Xiao Mu, you are the first one to look down on me, I want to see, without my help, if you can survive. Let me say it again..."
Suddenly, he turned around, looking at Zhu Xinrong and Chen Juan who had quietly stepped back, "Whoever dares to help Xiao Mu will be opposing the Xuan leader. To oppose the Xuan leader, you don't need me to say, you all know what the consequences will be."
He didn't conceal his threatening tone, letting Xuan Mo intimidate Zhu Xinrong and Chen Juan.
"It has nothing to do with me, hey! It has nothing to do with me, sorry, I have to go back, the west wing still needs me to stand guard."
Zhu Xinrong immediately turned around and left, not wanting to get involved in this quagmire.
However, Chen Juan, while quietly backing away without saying a word, secretly sent a message to Xiao Mu again, "Xiao Mu, just be careful, if you really can't handle it, ask for help. The Life and Death Sect's extraterrestrial evil beings are not invincible, the living burial technique is not insolvable, there are plenty of people in the ruins who can deal with it, it's just that you won't get any rewards for asking for help."
After the message was sent, Chen Juan immediately escaped and went to her own guard area.
She truly sympathized with Xiao Mu, but she didn't dare to openly confront Xuan Mo.
Xu Yan gloated, "Xiao Mu, I want to see how you die. I have seen a lot of people who overestimate themselves, but you are the first one who seriously overestimates oneself. Even the Xuan leader dares to offend, in this world, I don't believe there is anyone who can save you?"
"Don't try to ask for help, no one can save you, do you think there will be anyone in the ancient Song relics who dare to help you when you offend the Xuan Leader?"
Xiao Mu didn't pay attention to Xu Yan, focusing on the potential spatial channel in the air that might open at any time.
The Life and Death Sect's extraterrestrial evil beings were the enemies worth his attention, while Xu Yan was nothing but a futile clown that he could kill with just a finger.
Swoosh!
The space made a strange sound, and a small rift suddenly appeared in mid-air, immediately after, a lean humanoid creature squeezed out from it.
This humanoid creature is a man, with a thin and shrivelled figure, but has a fierce look on his face. His muscles were as if carved from stone and were completely frozen on his face, giving a stiff and terrifying feeling, it seemed like he was a zombie.
This humanoid creature, the man, had already locked onto Xiao Mu's position and therefore clearly knew where Xiao Mu was.
As soon as this man appeared, his gaze fixated on Xiao Mu.
Obviously, he didn't regard Xiao Mu highly, looking down from above, he questioned Xiao Mu condescendingly, "You are Xiao Mu?"
Xiao Mu was surprised that the thin man knew him, staring at the thin man, "Who are you? How do you know my name?"
"I am Black Luo King of the Life and Death Sect."
The thin man, the Black Luo King's self-introduction was extremely brief, immediately followed by further questioning, condescendingly, "Xiao Mu, hand over the Life and Death Page, you don't deserve to own something that doesn't belong to you."
What?
The words of Black Luo King were beyond Xiao Mu's expectation.
Initially, he had thought of many reasons why the Life and Death Sect's extraterrestrial evil being had targeted him, but he absolutely did not expect this one.
As soon as the Black Luo King opened his mouth, he wanted the Life and Death Page from him.
The Life and Death Page was something Xiao Mu got from the Immeasurable Cave, it might very well be a Netherworld Treasure, extremely powerful and mysterious.
"What Life and Death Page are you talking about?"
Xiao Mu pretended to be ignorant of the Life and Death Page, his eyes glued to Black Luo King, preventing the latter from getting close to the Blood Coffin.
He was trapped in the Blood Coffin, once the coffin was closed, it would be the end for him. He would definitely die.
Under any circumstances, he couldn't allow Black Luo King to get close to the Blood Coffin.
"What are you pretending not to know for? The Life and Death Page is on you, I can feel it standing here, hand it over!"
Black Luo King reached out with one hand towards Xiao Mu, domineering and forceful.
His palm was shriveled, completely devoid of flowing blood with a black color. Such a palm should belong to a mummy that had been dead for many years.
"I really don't know what the Life and Death Page is. If you can tell me what the Life and Death Page is, and what use it has for you, maybe I will consider checking myself to see if I really have the Life and Death Page."
Xiao Mu continued pretending to be ignorant about the Life and Death Page, and used words to probe Black Luo King, wanting to know the purpose of the Life and Death Page.
"Very well, since you are unwilling to hand it over, I will take it from your dead body myself. After you die, don't blame me."
Black Luo King's voice was cold, as he looked at Xiao Mu his eyes treated him like one already dead.
Upon finishing his words, he suddenly made a move, the Two Forces of Life and Death transformed into a gray and white halo under his feet, slowly spinning like two huge, strange, rotating rings under his feet.
Following that, he took a step forward, his entire body immediately transformed into the Two Forces of Life and Death, flying towards the palm-sized Blood Coffin.
He wanted to control the Blood Coffin, to close off Xiao Mu. Once the coffin cover was laid, Xiao Mu would be killed in an instant.
The Black Luo King, who was controlling the Two Forces of Life and Death, moved at an extremely fast speed. In the blink of an eye, he reached the vicinity of the Blood Coffin. He stretched out his left hand and held the small coffin in it.
Then, he opened his right hand, and the thick Two Forces of Life and Death turned with him as he reached out to grab the exquisite tiny coffin cover floating above the nearby Blood Coffin.
