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

Chapter 40 "Sacrificing Oneself for Justice" [Continue reading! Please!]

"Xu Fellow Daoist, won't you reconsider?!"

Seeing Xu Mu's resolute refusal, Chi Feiyan couldn't help but furrow her delicate eyebrows.

This time, the three major families joined forces to reap the benefits from several other families that had lost their Foundation Building period.

After all, when they arrived at a new place, they would have to start from scratch, and having more resources would definitely be more beneficial for future development.

As for the camaraderie among fellow disciples?

If the sect no longer exists, what camaraderie is there to speak of!

They just didn't expect that their attempt to steal the chicken would end up losing the rice!

The seemingly inconspicuous Song family turned out to have such a strong foundation, not only hiding several spiritual swords, but also possessing the long-lost Divine Fire Thunder Child.

Although they ultimately couldn't escape destruction, the three major families also suffered backlash and suffered significant damage.

With their strength compromised, they had no choice but to abandon some people!

Xu Mu was originally in the sequence of those being abandoned, but it was thanks to her plea to her father, Chi Yuan, that she managed to stay.

"No need! I can't abandon my friends!"

Xu Mu shook her head.

Of course, this was all nonsense!

The actual reason was that when she passed through the crowd just now, she heard others discussing that among the three families leaving, besides the Chi family and the Lu family, there was also the Luo family that she least wanted to face.

At that time, Xu Mu had already started to hesitate whether she should go with the Chi family.

Now that Chi Feiyan had come up with this, she simply took advantage of the situation.

This journey was long and would take at least one or two months, and they would definitely encounter danger. If she were to take action at that time, her fire-based spells and swordsmanship would undoubtedly be exposed.

If the Luo family were to target her, no one knew what would happen.

One cannot walk by the river without getting their shoes wet!

Being under the other party's watchful eyes every day, she really couldn't rest assured!

"Xu Fellow Daoist, thank you for taking care of us during this time. Ning'er and I are not powerless people. You should still go with Yingying and them!"

Lan Shijin struggled in her heart for a moment before speaking these words.

"My mind is made up! Lan Fellow Daoist, there's no need to persuade me!"

Xu Mu still shook her head, her attitude firm.

"Ignorant!"

A person following behind Chi Feiyan coldly said, but was glared at by Chi Feiyan, causing him to disdainfully turn his head away.

"The people below don't know how to speak, don't blame Xu Fellow Daoist!"

"Chi Fellow Daoist is too polite!"

Xu Mu didn't take it to heart.

"Xu Fellow Daoist, the journey from here to the Liyang Sect is very dangerous. Without the protection of the Foundation Building period, it will be difficult for you to catch up. This opportunity was also something I begged my father for a long time before he agreed. If you give up like this, it would be such a pity!"

Chi Feiyan couldn't bear to persuade again.

She still highly values Xu Mu's alchemy talent.

Xu Mu smiled and said, "I appreciate Fellow Daoist Chi's kindness, but I have my own plans, so I won't trouble Fellow Daoist Chi!"

"Alright then!"

Seeing that she couldn't persuade Xu Mu, she didn't say anything more.

She felt that she had done her best at this point.

"Fellow Daoist Chi, I have an unpleasant request. I don't know if you can agree to it?"

"Hmph!"

One of Chi Feiyan's guards couldn't help but snort coldly.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, please speak!"

Chi Feiyan was still relatively polite.

"I want to buy a map to leave Yang Sect from you!"

"Well, alright!"

Chi Feiyan hesitated for a moment and nodded.

Finally, when she returned to her family's location, she didn't know who she found, but she brought back a map drawn on animal skin.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Chi! How many spirit stones do you want?"

Xu Mu took the map and a smile appeared on his face.

"Forget about the spirit stones! They're not worth much. Consider it a parting gift from Fellow Daoist Chi!"

Chi Feiyan generously said.

"Then thank you! If there's a chance in the future, I will definitely repay you generously!"

Xu Mu bid farewell with the three women.

"Generously repay? Hmph! I guess I'll have to wait until my next life!"

That guard couldn't help but tease again.

This time, Chi Feiyan didn't say anything.

"Miss, why are you so good to him? He's just an ordinary second-level alchemist!"

Another guard was a bit puzzled.

"There are some things you don't understand!"

The reason she was so polite was not only because she valued the other party's talent, but also because of the poison on their family's ancestor. For now, only the Jade Marrow Pill could alleviate it. Although they had obtained a lot this time, having one more alchemist who could refine the Jade Marrow Pill was always a backup plan.

But since the other party was unwilling, she wouldn't waste any more words.

A worthless map, let's just consider it building a good relationship!

In fact, deep down, she still admired Xu Mu's actions!

Although her rationality made her feel a bit foolish!

"Forget about that, let's go back! See if we can recruit two more Qi Refining stage late-phase wandering cultivators!"

Chi Feiyan didn't explain too much and led the two back to the Chi family's group.

"Yan'er, what about the alchemist you recruited?"

Carrying a long sword, Chi Yuan, the head of the Chi family, who was discussing matters with the heads of the Luo and Lv families, saw Chi Feiyan approaching and asked.

Standing beside Chi Yuan were Luo Han, the head of the Luo family, and Lv Yi, the head of the Lv family.

Both of them also looked at Chi Feiyan.

"We have met Uncle Luo, we have met Uncle Lu!"

Chi Feiyan first bowed to the two of them before speaking, "I told him that we can only bring two people, but he disagreed and left!"

"Hmph! He really underestimates us!"

Chi Yuan coldly snorted, his face full of disdain.

"Just an ordinary alchemist, why bother to recruit the niece of Yan'er? Many people in our Lu family are proficient in alchemy. If there is anything you need, just come to our Lu family! After all, we will be one family in the future!"

Wearing a long-sleeved robe, Lu Yi smiled and said.

Upon hearing Lu Yi's last words, Chi Yuan's face slightly changed, but Chi Feiyan remained calm and thanked him lightly.

At this time, Luo Hun spoke, "I think it's about time, let's prepare and set off! If we wait for the Soul Refining Sect to arrive, it will be troublesome!"

Thinking of the Soul Refining Sect's methods of controlling ghosts, everyone couldn't help but feel a jump in their hearts.

They had already developed a shadow in their hearts!

"Good!"

Chi Yuan and Lu Yi had no objections. They also wanted to leave early, so they nodded and went back to organize their teams.

...

After separating from Chi Feiyan, Leng Yuening looked at Xu Mu with shining eyes, as if she was meeting him for the first time.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, you really didn't have to give up this opportunity for me and my daughter!" Lan Shijin said with some regret.

Although she was also moved by Xu Mu's actions, being moved couldn't fill one's stomach.

"Fellow Daoist Lan, don't think too much about it, and don't feel embarrassed. I have my own plans, and it's not all because of the two of you!"

He was more concerned about his own safety, and at the same time, he was confident in his own strength.

But Lan Shijin sighed inwardly.

She didn't believe Xu Mu's words. She only thought that the other party was comforting her and didn't want her to feel psychological pressure.

Offering help for no reason, either a thief or a lecher!

She turned her head and looked at her daughter.

She shook her head in her heart.

Although having multiple wives and concubines in the cultivation world was common, she didn't want her daughter to become someone's concubine.

Of course, if the other party was at the Foundation Building stage, it would be a different story.

In the future, she should try to keep her daughter away from the other party to avoid problems.

Lan Shijin thought to herself.

"Husband, where are we going now?" Ye Yingying asked.

There was no expression of sadness on her face because she couldn't join the team at the Foundation Building stage. Instead, there was a hint of admiration in her eyes when she looked at Xu Mu.

This kind of selfless dedication was indeed touching!

"We..."

Xu Mu was about to speak when Zhang Shouren, not far away, squeezed through the crowd and waved at him again.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, would you like to join our team?"

Zhang Shouren extended the invitation once again.

"Sure!"

This time, Xu Mu did not refuse and nodded.

His strength might be sufficient, but his experience in surviving in the wilderness might not be as good as someone in the mid-stage of Qi Refining who frequently entered the wilderness.

So he thought that for now, he would join a team to adapt, and later on, he would consider whether to travel alone depending on the situation.

Most of the people in Zhang Shouren's team were acquaintances, so it was appropriate for him to join them.

Although it was easier to attract demonic beasts with more people, it shouldn't be a problem in the early stages. After all, the outskirts of Baihe Forest had long been hunted to near extinction, and the real danger was five hundred miles away.

"Great! Come, let me introduce you to the leader of our team!"

Zhang Shouren smiled and led Xu Mu back to the team to find Zhou Chong, preparing to introduce him to Xu Mu.

"Old Zhang, when did I agree to let him join? If others don't want him, we don't want him either!" Zhou Chong said with a smirk on his face.

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of several people turned ugly.

"In that case, I'll take my leave!"

Xu Mu wasn't angry either. He arched his hand and turned around, taking the three of them with him.

"Fellow Daoist Xu! Hey! Fellow Daoist Zhou, can't you be a little flexible? Fellow Daoist Xu and Fellow Daoist Lan are..."

Zhang Shouren wanted to salvage the situation, but Zhou Chong didn't give him any face at all.

"Old Zhang, who do you think you are? You have the nerve to plead for others. If it weren't for your pitiful state, do you think I would let you join? And you're even bringing along a burden!"

Zhou Chong looked at the young man beside Zhang Shouren with disdain.

"..."

Zhang Shouren's face turned pale and then red.

With Zhou Chong's words, he was left feeling embarrassed, not knowing where to put his old face.

"In that case, I won't hold you back, Fellow Daoist Zhou!"

Feeling both awkward and ashamed, Zhang Shouren gritted his teeth, took his grandson, and left, chasing after Xu Mu.

Zhou Chong didn't care at all about Zhang Shouren leaving. A contemptuous smile appeared on his face.

Xu Mu and Lan Shijin's joining would indeed increase the strength of their team, but it would also be troublesome when it came to taking action.

...

Shortly after, cultivators from the three major families released dozens of small flying boats. The group of people boarded one of them, simultaneously controlled their Qi to ascend into the air, and turned into streaks of light, quickly disappearing into the sky.

Leaving behind the dumbfounded scattered cultivators!

They wanted to take advantage by following behind...

Hehe!

Startled birds flew over the heads of the crowd.

People are foolish! They don't know how to ask for more chapters! Let's just give everyone more chapters! Everyone, please help!
