Chapter 150: Trivializing Human Lives

Xu Mu walked into the hall with his hands behind his back, ignoring the people kneeling on the ground.

Chi Feiyan hurriedly got up and caught up with him, leaving behind a group of trembling people in the courtyard.

Kneeling on the ground, Lv Feier could only use her peripheral vision to catch a glimpse of Xu Mu's departing figure, her heart surging like turbulent waves.

"This person is so strong! So strong! Much stronger than Chi Shouyuan, that useless waste! If I can control him!"

While others were thinking about how to avoid being held accountable later, Lv Feier was thinking about how to advance further.

She didn't feel any regret for Chi Shouyuan's failure; instead, she felt excited.

Because Chi Shouyuan's strength was limited. Even if he became the head of the family, with Chi Feiyan opposing him, she wouldn't gain many resources.

But Xu Mu was different!

He had a high chance of advancing to the Gold Core stage. If she could attach herself to him, her future prospects would be limitless.

Lv Feier dared to think this way because she had confidence in her own methods. There was no man who could resist her.

She licked her lips and waited until Xu Mu and Chi Feiyan's figures completely disappeared before pretending to be sorrowful and checking on Chi Shouyuan's condition.

She was shocked when she saw it.

Chi Shouyuan, who was kneeling on the ground, was trembling all over, bleeding from his seven orifices, and not responding even after calling out several times.

Lv Feier infused her spiritual power into his body to check, only to find that his bones were shattered and his meridians were severed. He had become a complete cripple.

While shocked, Lv Feier's desire to control Xu Mu burned even hotter.

At the same time, Chi Feiyan, who had followed Xu Mu into the hall, knelt down with a thud.

"I have failed in my duties. Please punish me, Master!"

Chi Feiyan kept her head down and dared not look at Xu Mu.

This incident had indeed caused her to lose face. She never expected that the people in her family would be so short-sighted and do something so foolish.

"Punishment can wait. Go and clean up the people. From today onwards, there is no more Lv family or Chi family, only the Xu family! Anyone who disobeys will be killed!"

Xu Mu said calmly with his eyes closed.

Chi Feiyan's heart trembled. Xu Mu's words meant that he was cutting off their roots and annihilating their clans. Many people from both families would probably oppose this even if it meant death.

"Master, if everyone is killed, it may affect the operation of the market!" Chi Feiyan could only try to dissuade him tactfully.

If too many were killed, even if the remaining clan members didn't say it out loud, they would definitely hate her in their hearts. It would be almost impossible for her to completely control the family in the future.

"Stop talking nonsense! I'll kill you too!"

Xu Mu's tone remained calm as he raised his eyelids and glanced at her, almost scaring Chi Feiyan to death.

Because she truly felt a strong killing intent from Xu Mu's eyes.

He wasn't joking with her!

"Yes, Master!"

Chi Feiyan answered with fear and trepidation.

In fact, Xu Mu did have the intention to kill. To him, both the Lv and Chi families were completely useless, including the entire market in his eyes.

With his current strength, he could easily establish a force ten or a hundred times larger than the two families combined.

If it weren't for Chi Feiyan coming to him initially and the need for her to sell pills, he wouldn't have even bothered with the two families.

Now that the two families had grown a little stronger and dared to provoke him, he was already being lenient by not wiping them out completely.

Of course, if Chi Feiyan didn't handle things to his satisfaction, he wouldn't mind taking action personally.

Late at night.

In a loft separate from all the other houses, a faint fragrance filled the air. Under the dim light, Xu Mu was meditating with crossed legs.

The room was seemingly ordinary but was actually the best room in the entire estate. It was situated on top of a spiritual vein and even had a medium-sized Spirit Gathering Formation, making it the place with the densest spiritual energy in Baihe Market.

Originally, this was where Chi Feiyan cultivated, but now it belonged to Xu Mu.

Creak!

The door of the room was abruptly opened, and a figure dressed in pink stumbled into the room, falling to her knees in front of Xu Mu.

"Please, Grand Patriarch, save me! Chi Feiyan has embezzled funds and suppressed dissidents. Today's incident was also her deliberate attempt to use others as a scapegoat! Sob!"

The woman cried and complained, her words full of grievances.

Xu Mu slowly opened his eyes and said indifferently, "Didn't you know that I don't allow anyone to disturb me while I'm cultivating?"

"Grand Patriarch intentionally didn't activate the defensive formation, just to let us come and report Chi Feiyan, right?"

The woman raised her head, revealing a pitiful and charming face.

She was Chi Shouyuan's cheap wife and the former Miss Lv of the Lv family, Lv Feier.

"......"

Xu Mu furrowed his brows.

He didn't activate the formation because he simply found it troublesome. With his Body Refining cultivation, no one in Baihe Fangshi could harm him.

Moreover, the formation in the room was only of the third rank, which was useless to him. It would be a waste of time to activate it every time he entered or left.

However, even though he didn't activate the formation, there should be guards arranged by Chi Feiyan nearby. The fact that this woman could pass through without making a sound showed that she was extraordinary.

Xu Mu pondered, but he didn't subdue Lü Feier or drive her away.

"You're very clever, I like clever people!"

Xu Mu smiled.

"Then tell me everything you know. As long as it's true, I will definitely help you make a decision."

"Yes!"

Lü Feier's eyes were full of excitement. She felt that she had made the right bet.

"Chi Feiyan once..."

Lü Feier clearly came prepared. She spoke with reason and evidence, and her logic was flawless.

After listening, Xu Mu furrowed his brows.

"Empty talk, how can I believe you? Besides, although she has made mistakes, she has also made contributions. Why should I help you?"

"Old Ancestor simply wants a helper to manage the family business. I, Feier, am willing to take on this heavy responsibility. I will be absolutely loyal to Old Ancestor and can do better than her!" Lü Feier lowered her head and continued, "If I can't do it, you can kill me or do whatever you want."

Lü Feier's tone was firm, and her expression was sincere.

"Oh!"

Xu Mu stood up, snapped his fingers, and turned his back to her.

"If that's the case, I can help you make a decision. However..."

Xu Mu turned around and looked at Lü Feier, his eyes revealing a hint of greed.

"She is not just someone who helps me with tasks. We also have some exchanges in terms of cultivation techniques. If I kill her, can you do those things too?"

"This, this, Old Ancestor, I am a married woman. If Old Ancestor needs it, I can find someone for you. I can find as many as you want."

Lü Feier showed a hesitant and reserved expression.

"I can't be interested in ordinary women. If you're not willing, then go back. I'll pretend you never came."

Xu Mu sat back in his original position, closed his eyes, and seemed to be preparing to continue his cultivation.

"Old Ancestor, Old Ancestor, I, I..."

Lü Feier struggled with hesitation, wanting to say something but holding back, showing her reluctance and willingness at the same time.

Finally, as if she had made up her mind, she nodded reluctantly.

"If Old Ancestor likes it, I am willing to accompany you. I just hope that Old Ancestor keeps his word!"

"Rest assured, I always keep my word! Come!"

Xu Mu opened his eyes, revealing a sinister expression.

After Lü Feier hesitated and struggled, she successfully sat down.

While performing her self-righteous act, she silently used the charm technique she unexpectedly obtained from a secret manual.

However, as time passed, she soon noticed something unusual.

The power in her body uncontrollably flowed towards Xu Mu.

"Old Ancestor, you..."

Lü Feier's expression was filled with horror, but she couldn't stop it.

Not long after, the once beautiful woman had turned into a dried corpse.

"You dare to use such mediocre skills in front of me!"

Xu Mu flicked his finger, and a flame burned Lü Feier's body to ashes, leaving only a storage bag behind.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the system's voice suddenly sounded.

[Achievement Obtained: Taking Lives!]

[Taking Lives: Gain 10 Luck points every day!]

[Luck Points: Can be used to improve skill proficiency, but cannot directly improve cultivation!]

"......"

Xu Mu was speechless.

This achievement was really fitting!

Those who can see this are all fellow cultivators. Let's cherish it.
