Longevity Begins With The Birth Of A Daughter At An Old Age

Chapter 64: Crisis

"Xu Fellow Daoist, what's wrong with you?" Chi Feiyan spoke up, sensing Xu Mu's unusual expression.

"Huh? Nothing, nothing!" Xu Mu laughed heartily, quickly covering it up.

"By the way, Chi Fellow Daoist, do you know when the Luo family went to Cuiling Fang Market?"

"Why are you so concerned about the Luo family, Xu Fellow Daoist?"

"Just curious!"

"It was about a month ago."

"Oh!"

A month ago, which was about four months since he arrived in Liyang City. Xu Mu silently prayed in his heart.

It's been over four months, the Luo family shouldn't have encountered those magical artifacts, right?

Even if they did encounter them, they might not be able to recognize him.

Even if they recognized him, it should be impossible to find him after so much time has passed.

He had changed his appearance and physique multiple times back then.

Plus, with so much time gone by, it should be like finding a needle in a haystack to locate him.

In theory, it seemed perfect, but Xu Mu still felt uneasy.

"Never mind, I'll save my recent luck value just in case something unexpected happens, so I can adapt accordingly." Xu Mu thought to himself.

...

Two months later

Cuiling Fang Market

Surrounded by mountains, everything was withered and yellow.

As winter approached, there were fewer and fewer cultivators entering the jungle.

The once bustling market seemed a bit desolate.

Luo Family Mansion

With its carved beams and painted rafters, pavilions and towers, servants coming and going in an endless stream, even though it had just been established not long ago, it already showed the atmosphere of a Foundation Building family.

"Father!"

Luo Hun, with a serious expression, led a few subordinates and walked into the hall, escorting a terrified wandering cultivator.

Luo Lie, dressed in a dark blue robe, was sitting at the head, as if he had been waiting for a long time. Two beautiful maidservants stood behind him, and there was a table with tea emitting a faint mist on it.

Compared to when he was in Baihe Fang Market, Luo Lie looked much younger now due to his breakthrough in cultivation.

"Did you only find him?" Luo Lie still had his eyes closed, his aura steady as a mountain.

"I'm useless, too much time has passed, and I only traced him." Luo Hun looked ashamed.

"It doesn't matter! Having him alone is enough!" Luo Lie's tone was calm as water.

Feeling the aura of a Foundation Building stage emanating from Luo Lie, the wandering cultivator who had been brought in fell to the ground in fear.

"Please spare me, sir! I really didn't know that was a Luo family artifact!"

"I ask, you answer." Luo Lie slowly opened his eyes, his pupils not the usual black of ordinary people, but a pair of emerald green vertical pupils, like a snake, but not appearing cold, instead exuding a sense of majesty.

"Yes, yes!" The wandering cultivator nodded repeatedly.

"When did you acquire that artifact?"

"Approximately, about six or seven months ago!"

"I want the exact time!"

"Seven and a half months! Yes, it was seven and a half months!"

The wandering cultivator's face turned pale, nodding desperately.

"Do you remember what he looked like?"

Luo Lie's divine sense spread out, enveloping the other party.

"No, I do, I remember!"

The wandering cultivator's face was already covered in cold sweat.

"Do you remember or not?"

Luo Lie frowned suddenly, and a transparent green python with a single horn suddenly appeared behind him, staring fixedly at the wandering cultivator.

"I remember! I remember!"

The wandering cultivator prostrated on the ground, trembling all over.

Without truly facing the Foundation Building stage, one cannot feel the gap between the two.

It's like a country dog facing a fierce tiger.

"Just remember, now try to recall his appearance in your mind."

"Ah? Oh!"

Although he didn't understand the other party's intention, the scattered cultivator still obediently tried to recall, but too much time had passed, and no matter how hard he tried, he could only have a vague impression.

Just as he was considering making up something if the other party asked, the single-horned green python pounced on him and instantly burrowed into his body.

"Ah ah ah!"

The scattered cultivator screamed, stood up uncontrollably, trembling all over, and then suddenly collapsed to the ground, quickly losing his breath.

Watching this scene, Luo Hun, who was standing nearby, didn't have much of a reaction, but a few of his subordinates were trembling slightly.

Swoosh!

In the next moment, the single-horned green python flew out of the scattered cultivator's body and returned to Luo Lie's body.

Luo Lie closed his eyes, frowned slightly after a moment.

At this time, Luo Hun hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Father, were you able to see the person's specific appearance?"

"Same as the previous ones, very vague, and obviously different!"

Luo Hun opened his eyes, and his pupils had returned to their normal pitch-black color.

"What should we do then? Damn it! Are we just going to let that little thief run wild?"

Luo Hun gritted his teeth in anger.

According to the timing, the other party almost followed them to Liyang Sect.

This means that the other party had been under their noses all along, and their previous efforts to search had not yielded any results.

Fortunately, they were sent to manage the Cuiling Market this time, otherwise the other party would have truly been worry-free.

But now, it seemed that they had no way to deal with the other party either.

Too much time had passed, and it was too difficult to find the other party with just a few magical tools.

Moreover, the other party was extremely cautious, changing their appearance every time, even concealing themselves when selling things, leaving no clues behind.

"Kill my grandson! Destroy my Luo family's foundation! How can I let him go?"

Luo Lie's gaze was as cold as a snake, as if he wanted to devour someone.

Although they were able to escape the crisis of decline with the help of the Thunder Tribulation Vine, they might have had more choices if the other party hadn't killed Luo Xu.

Such as using it himself!

Regardless of reason or emotion, he had to find the other party and kill him.

"But now we have no clues, how do we find him?"

They have captured everyone who bought magical tools and interrogated them rigorously, but the information they obtained was useless.

"Who said there are no clues!" Luo Lie said coldly.

"..."

Luo Hun didn't understand what Luo Lie meant.

"Time is the best clue." Luo Lie said indifferently.

Luo Hun's eyes suddenly lit up, but quickly dimmed.

"Father, during that period of time, many cultivators came from Baishi Market, and the other party changed their body shape and appearance. Even if we start with the household registration, it's difficult to find anything useful!"

There was one thing Luo Hun didn't say, if they could find the other party through investigation, they would have caught him in Baishi Market long ago.

Obviously, that person had a way to change his appearance and hide his cultivation, making it impossible for them to start.

"Why do we have to investigate one by one?"

Luo Lie glanced at Luo Hun indifferently.

"Huh?"

Luo Hun was a little confused by the question.

If not one by one, then should they investigate in groups?

"Kill them! Kill all the cultivators who came from Baihe Market during that time! I don't believe he can still hide!"

Luo Lie's tone was calm, but it sent a chilling feeling to the ears of the others.

Even Luo Hun was shocked, completely unexpected that his father could be so ruthless.

Father really hates that person—

To be so bone-deep!

Although the methods were a bit cruel, it was indeed the best way.

In Baihe Market, they were suppressed by their family and couldn't go too far, but here, no one would interfere.

Moreover, compared to when they were in Baihe Market, the difficulty now was much smaller. At most, there were only one or two hundred targets, and with their current status, they could silently kill them one by one.

If the other party resisted when the time came, they would definitely reveal their true colors.

What if none of these people were the one?

Then they could only blame themselves for being unlucky!

"Father, I understand! I will take care of it now, without letting anyone notice our Luo family!"

Luo Hun's eyes gradually became fierce.

"Good!"

Luo Lie nodded.

"Remember, before taking action, gather information about the other party. If anything abnormal is found, I will personally take action! My beast soul has just advanced to a dragon and needs to devour soul power!"
