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

Chapter 90: Returning to the Gale

At this moment, Xu Mu was burning with anger.

From fragments of memories from the two old men, he learned their identities. The old man in the green robe was the ancestor of the Chi family, while the old man in the yellow robe was the ancestor of the Lu family.

Chi Feiyan had known both of them for a long time.

It wasn't that the two old men had targeted Chi Feiyan, but rather that Chi Feiyan had actively sought them out.

"Cough cough!"

Chi Feiyan coughed up blood-stained teeth, half of her face swollen like a bun, and one eye bloodshot. She looked disheveled and far from refined.

She struggled to get up, using both her hands and feet, and crawled to Xu Mu's side, tears in her eyes.

"Xu Lang, listen to my explanation. I never had any intention of harming you! I had already drugged those two old bastards, there's no way they could have killed you!"

"If I really wanted to harm you, I wouldn't have used such a stupid method. Xu Lang, you have to believe me!"

Chi Feiyan grabbed onto Xu Mu's clothes, looking pitiful.

Xu Mu's face darkened, his eyes narrowed, and he grabbed her throat, lifting her up like a doll.

"If I don't believe you, do you think you can still be alive and talk to me?"

Xu Mu exerted force with his arm, pushing her away and causing her to fall heavily to the ground, emitting a muffled groan.

From the memories of the Chi family ancestor and the Lu family ancestor, he did discover that Chi Feiyan had intended to plot against the two of them. Otherwise, he would have killed her with a single sword strike just now.

However, what really angered him was that this woman dared to deceive him and use him as a pawn.

As if sensing where Xu Mu's anger lay, Chi Feiyan crawled over and knelt in front of him, begging, "Master, I know I was wrong! I only wanted to help you. Only when those two old bastards are dead can I control both families and better serve you in the future!"

"Help me? You make it sound so nice! You dared to kill your own grandfather and husband. With such a treacherous heart, I can't let you help me!" Xu Mu sneered coldly.

"Master, your words are really hurting my heart. One treats me as a granddaughter, the other treats me as a wife. They only see me as an object! Especially that old man from the Lu family, he actually wanted me, wanted me..."

Thinking back to the shameful things the Lu family ancestor had made her do, Chi Feiyan trembled with anger.

It was precisely because the two old men had treated her so ruthlessly, not seeing her as a person at all, that she had the audacity to plot against Xu Mu and use him as a weapon.

She just didn't expect Xu Mu's strength to be so powerful that her plot was completely useless.

If she had known Xu Mu's strength earlier, she might have just confessed everything and asked Xu Mu to take action, instead of ending up like this.

"No matter what the reason is, if you dare to deceive me, I can never forgive you!"

Xu Mu's gaze was cold and devoid of any mercy as he looked at her.

"Please, spare me this time, Master! I won't dare anymore!" Chi Feiyan begged, her performance becoming even more pitiful.

"Hmph!"

Xu Mu snorted coldly, reaching out to grab her collar and lifting her up.

After a long time.

Xu Mu threw Chi Feiyan down like a torn sack and turned around, stepping on his flying sword and leaving, leaving behind only one sentence.

"No treatment for a month!"

"I obey, Master!"

Chi Feiyan respectfully replied.

As Xu Mu flew far away, she couldn't help but lower her head and look at the entrance of the cave, silently shedding tears.

Xu Lang, how could you be so heartless!

But...

I really like it!

...

Back at home, Xu Mu informed his family and then ascended to the third floor of the attic, activating the concealment formation and taking out the storage bags of the Chi family ancestor and the Lu family ancestor to examine them.

Two unsealed fourth-grade spirit swords!

Two sets of worn-out fourth-grade robes!

Two masks that can block divine sense!

One hundred and fifty-three pieces of medium-grade spirit stones!

Three bottles of grass essence pills!

That's it!

"This is too poor, isn't it?"

After flipping through them again and again, Xu Mu suddenly felt speechless.

The combined value of the two people was actually less than what Luo Lie had back then.

What Xu Mu didn't know was that Luo Lie had just arrived in the Cui Ling market and hadn't used up his resources yet, which was why he had so many things.

As for the Chi family ancestor and the Lu family ancestor, they were on the verge of death, and they had already given valuable things to their children and grandchildren. How could they still carry around a bunch of resources every day?

If it weren't for being influenced by Chi Feiyan this time and thinking that he could easily take down Xu Mu, they probably wouldn't have made a move in their entire lives.

Regardless, these were the only things available. Xu Mu could only accept it even if he felt frustrated.

"It's better than nothing!" Xu Mu consoled himself.

Including these two spirit swords, he now had a total of five spirit swords in his hands.

One was the fifth-grade Frost Cold Chi Dragon Sword!

One was the fourth-grade fire attribute spirit sword he bought in the Zhe Feng City, used as a facade. Xu Mu named it the Crimson Flame Sword!

The remaining two were these two, one wood attribute and one ice attribute.

As for the three unsealed spirit sword essences that Luo Lie had, he had sold them in Zhe Feng City. Otherwise, he wouldn't have had the money to buy the flying boat.

As for the Ice Soul Cold Chi Sword, he was somewhat reluctant to part with it, so he always carried it with him, preparing to give it to Leng Yue Ning in the future. She cultivated ice attribute techniques, which happened to be a perfect match.

A few more days passed in the blink of an eye.

Just as Xu Mu was preparing to leave in an orderly manner, Chi Fei Yan came knocking on his door again, representing the Chi and Lu families, asking him to be their backer.

"It seems like you've planned everything!" Xu Mu said coldly, looking at the pitiful Chi Fei Yan kneeling in front of him.

"If the Chi and Lu families don't have the protection of a Foundation Building stage cultivator, their assets will soon be swallowed up by other Foundation Building families. So, they must find a new backer, and there is no one more suitable in the entire Liyang Sect than the master!" Chi Fei Yan said, bowing her head and not daring to look at Xu Mu.

Xu Mu and the Chi and Lu families all came from the Baihe Fang Market, so they had some connections. Moreover, Xu Mu had just advanced and had no roots or foundation, making him the most suitable candidate.

If they were to seek refuge with another family, given the other party's strength, they would quickly devour both families without leaving anything behind.

Xu Mu stared at Chi Fei Yan, tapping his index finger on the table. After a moment of silence, he suddenly spoke, "Alright! I agree!"

"Thank you, master!" Chi Fei Yan raised her head, revealing a bright smile on her face. However, seeing Xu Mu's unchanged expression, she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Xu Lang still harbored resentment from the last incident!

Soon after, Chi Fei Yan came with the heads of the Chi and Lu families to visit.

Both of them showed exceptional respect towards Xu Mu.

Looking at Chi Yuan, Xu Mu couldn't help but recall the scene where the other party had displayed great power and killed three Qi Refining stage cultivators with a single move back in the Baihe Fang Market. At that time, he could only look up to the other party, but he didn't expect that in just a few years, the other party would bow in front of him as a junior.

Indeed, thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west!

"In the future, don't bother me if there's nothing important. Give the offerings to Miss Chi," Xu Mu said.

With these words, the two families would basically regard Chi Fei Yan as their leader.

"We will follow the senior's orders!" Both of them answered respectfully, without any objections.

Compared to being swallowed up by other Foundation Building families, being regarded as a leader by Chi Fei Yan was really nothing.

After sending the two of them away, Chi Fei Yan immediately approached Xu Mu with affectionate eyes.

"You can leave too!" Xu Mu said, as he wasn't in the mood to enter the cave again.

"Master!" Chi Fei Yan looked resentful.

"Go!" Xu Mu's voice was calm but carried endless authority.

"Yes!" Chi Fei Yan lowered her head in grievance, respectfully retreating.

Xu Mu watched her disappearing figure and stood up, flicking his finger.

This woman had too much ambition and liked to scheme. Most importantly, she dared to scheme against him. If it weren't for her still being somewhat useful, he wouldn't bother with her.

"Husband! Are you done with your business?" Ye Ying Ying, wearing a purple robe, walked in while holding one-year-old Xu Yin, with a sweet smile on her face.

"Mhmm!" Xu Mu, who had been expressionless, instantly melted like snow and radiated a brilliant smile. He stepped forward and hugged both of them at the same time.

"How are the preparations going?" he asked.

"They're almost done!" Ye Ying Ying replied softly, tilting her head in his embrace, listening to his familiar heartbeat.

"Then, when I finish arranging everything, we'll set off!" Xu Mu said.

"Mhmm!"

"Don't you want to know where we're going?" he asked.

"As long as I'm with you, anywhere is fine!" she replied.

"Indeed, my own wife is the best! Haha!"

A few days later.

Under the gloomy sky and continuous drizzle, Xu Mu and his group walked towards the city gate without attracting any attention.

After leaving the city, Xu Mu released the Green Jade Flying Boat and let everyone board. After loading a few medium-grade spirit stones, the flying boat slowly rose into the air. Controlled by his divine sense, it turned into a stream of green light and quickly disappeared into the sky.

Half a month later, the group arrived in the area where the spatial rift was located. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble by letting too many people know about the spatial rift, Xu Mu used his spells to make everyone faint. They were only awakened when they reached the Cangming Sea area.

"Daddy! There's so much blue water!" Little Ling'er exclaimed excitedly, almost jumping off the flying boat.

Everyone else was also stunned, staring in awe at the vast and boundless sea. They had only heard about the sea from ancient texts, and this was the first time they had seen the real thing. The impact was indescribable.

But even more shocking was how Xu Mu had brought them to such a faraway place in the blink of an eye.

Xu Mu didn't say anything, and everyone else was smart enough not to ask.

To avoid revealing their true identities after entering the city, Xu Mu first found an island where mortals lived nearby. They stayed there for over a month before finally entering the Zhefeng City.

"It's been two or three months since we last saw each other. I wonder how Su Luan is doing? Has she been bullied?" Thinking of Su Luan, Xu Mu thought of the majestic peak.
