"Aren't you talking nonsense? If you don't want to become a peerless strongman, why should I practice martial arts?"
Lin Mu said calmly.
The mysterious man didn't care about his attitude and said in a solemn voice: "Very good, can I help you achieve this wish?"
"Is it?"
Hearing this, Lin Mu was not as excited as the mysterious man imagined. Instead, he calmly said, "I would like to ask first, what is your identity, senior?"
"I?"
The mysterious man said in a low voice, "You don't need to know who I am, as long as you know that if you get my training, you can control this continent as you wish."
"What are your conditions?"
Lin Mu was noncommittal.
"No conditions, as long as you let me out, otherwise I won't be able to train you, right?"
The mysterious man appears calmer and calmer.
"It sounds very touching, but I'm sorry, the sense of danger you bring to me is too strong. Once I let you out, I won't be able to control you. Who knows what you will do."
Lin Mu is not so easily deceived.
"you……"
The mysterious man was almost angry, but thinking about the fragility of Lin Mu's soul, he might not be able to come back if he was hurt again, so he had to hold it back, "I can tell you part of the truth. I believe that after you hear it, you won't be so wary of me.
"
"More than two thousand years ago, an artifact fell on the Lingwu Continent, triggering a fierce battle for it..."
"etc."
Lin Mu interrupted the mysterious man and said in shock, "Senior, you mean artifacts? Are there really artifacts in this world? Are there also gods?"
"What's so strange about this."
The mysterious man said disdainfully, "Gods are just powerful creatures, and artifacts are also just powerful weapons."
"Of course, with your current strength, you are far, far away from that level, so don't think about it."
"Of course I know that."
Lin Mu has always been very self-aware, "Senior, please continue."
He was secretly thinking that the gods must be existences similar to the Martial Saints.
The mysterious man in front of me may be a martial arts saint.
This made the fear in his heart even deeper. The Martial Saint was a legendary existence, and the aura of this mysterious man showed that he was not a righteous person at first glance. He had to be careful.
"In order to fight for that artifact, I fought with countless strong men."
As if he could read Lin Mu's thoughts, the mysterious man's eyes flashed with a hint of ridicule, but he did not tell the truth. He continued what he said before, "I didn't expect that at the end of the battle, when I and the hundred strongest warriors were both injured, Zhang Shudao was so despicable.
The villain appears."
"In order to obtain the artifact, he took advantage of me to kill those hundreds of strong men and when he was seriously injured, he took action to seal me. This is what you see now."
"The bones around me are the hundred strongest masters who survived until the end. Zhang Shudao took advantage of my exhaustion of strength to seal me and these bones together. Later, he also built the Seven Star Tower and suppressed this seal under the Seven Star Tower.
.”
Lin Mu looked thoughtful and said, "Where is that artifact?"
"See for yourself, there is a coffin under the pile of bones, and the artifact is hidden under the coffin."
The mysterious man became a little impatient, "Now, you should believe me? I am by no means an evil person. The despicable person is Zhang Shudao. It is a great kindness for you to let me go."
Through the pile of corpses, Lin Mu could faintly sense a coffin, and he had an impulse in his heart to sweep the coffin away.
Unfortunately, the coffin was too close to the mysterious man and he did not dare to get close.
Now that he is so far away, the mysterious man can cause great harm to him. If he gets closer, the other party may directly imprison his soul, and the problem will become serious.
"Little guy, as a warrior, you must be decisive in doing things and don't be nagging."
The mysterious man said coldly, "As long as you let me out, not to mention the artifact, I can immediately give you a big benefit."
"What's the benefit?"
Lin Mu asked.
"Back then, I killed a ten-thousand-year-old black turtle, and I still retain its inner elixir in my body."
The mysterious man said, "How about you let me out and I will give you this inner elixir right away?"
As he spoke, he opened his mouth and spat out, and a blue round pill the size of an eyeball flew out, spinning in the air.
"What a strong a** breath."
Lin Mu gasped, then seemed to think of something, with a strong fiery look in his eyes.
He thought that the Tianji Diagram still lacked the source of yin in the three elements of gold, water and wood. This ten thousand-year-old black turtle inner elixir, with its shocking aura, was perfect for serving as the source of yin.
"Boy, don't hesitate, let me out quickly, this inner elixir will be yours immediately."
Seeing that Lin Mu's heart was moved, the mysterious man quickly urged.
"you are lying."
Lin Mu suppressed his greed and said, "If Senior Zhang Shudao attacked you for that artifact, then why didn't he take the artifact away instead of leaving it here?"
The mysterious man's eyes flashed with magic. He didn't expect Lin Mu to be so shrewd at such a young age.
However, he has more experience than Lin Mu, so this problem is not difficult for him. He said in a deep voice: "This is very simple, because if you want to conquer that artifact, you must use the soul, and you must not be over thirty. He Zhang Shu said
If you don’t meet the conditions, you won’t be able to use the artifact even if you get it.”
"I see."
Lin Mu finally understood why Zhang Shudao set such restrictions in the Seven Star Tower.
"Now, can you let me out?"
The mysterious man said.
"terribly sorry."
Lin Mu was unmoved, "As I said before, you are too dangerous. If I let you out, I can't even guarantee my own safety."
"So, I won't let you out until I figure out a way to control you."
Before he finished speaking, in order to prevent the mysterious man's rage from harming his soul, Lin Mu did not hesitate to withdraw his soul from this space.
"Roar……"
As soon as his soul left, an earth-shattering roar sounded in the eighth layer of space.
The mysterious man's head flew up, his face was ferocious, and the space around him shook and shook under the impact of his roar, as if the end of the world was coming.
After about half a quarter of an hour, the mysterious man slowly calmed down.
"More than two thousand years, it has been more than two thousand years. This is the first person who can break through all the obstacles set by Zhang Shudao and get here. I will never give up."
The mysterious man's voice is like an ancient ferocious beast, full of demonic nature.
Then, he looked at the demon cloud above: "He will come again, he will definitely. I can see that he is a person with a strong desire for power. And the black turtle inner elixir I took out at the end obviously has a certain effect on him."
Huge temptation."
"As long as he comes again, I will definitely ask him to let me out..."
Gradually, his voice became lowered like the evening breeze, and the space slowly returned to deathly silence.
