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

Chapter 75: The Start of War

Xu Mu followed Senior Brother Zou towards Liyang Sect, passing through several checkpoints along the way. Finally, they stopped in front of a five-story tower.

Seeing that Xu Mu seemed a bit tense, Senior Brother Zou patted his shoulder and smiled, "Fellow Daoist Xu, no need to be nervous!"

"It's my first time coming to a place like this, so I'm a little apprehensive. Please forgive me, Senior Brother Zou!" Xu Mu said with a hint of restraint.

"Don't worry! When you're caught by the Soul-Locking Mirror later, as long as you don't resist, you'll be fine! Of course, even if you resist, it won't help. That mirror is a seventh-grade magic treasure, and three Foundation Building cultivators are activating it at the same time. Even cultivators of the same level would have a hard time resisting, let alone you!" Xu Mu laughed proudly.

"Hehe!" Xu Mu forced a smile, his face stiff.

If he had known it would be like this, he wouldn't have come at all.

Fortunately, there were many cultivators waiting for interrogation in the tower, which made him feel somewhat relieved. At least there was a little time left.

Maybe I can use invisibility technique and run away directly!

But running away is equivalent to confessing!

Where can I run with my family?

What bad luck!

He was supposed to leave here in a few days, but now he was caught up in this interrogation.

Senior Brother Zou didn't know what he was thinking.

After bringing him here, Senior Brother Zou said, "I need to report in. Fellow Daoist Xu, wait here. When it's your turn, someone will come to get you. Remember, don't wander around. There are many killing formations set up in the sect. If you accidentally enter one, I won't be able to save you!"

"I understand! Thank you for the reminder, Senior Brother Zou!"

"Mm." Senior Brother Zou nodded and walked towards the second floor.

Xu Mu found a spot and leaned against it, quietly observing the surroundings.

Various thoughts ran through his mind.

"The function of that magic treasure is to lock the soul. Can I occasionally use the Crimson Crow as a substitute? That way, I won't be controlled!"

The Crimson Crow is equivalent to his clone and is not much different from his own soul.

But even so, it's still not very safe!

He has never come into contact with a treasure of this level. What if it can't be replaced?

Wouldn't that be walking into a trap?

But if he escapes, not to mention whether he can escape from Liyang Sect, even if he does, how can he escape with his family?

He can only rely on luck!

Sighing, Xu Mu began to study how to replace his own soul with the Crimson Crow without being discovered.

After about half a stick of incense, half of the people waiting for interrogation had already been taken away. While the remaining people anxiously waited, a series of bell sounds suddenly came from outside.

Dang dang dang!

The bell rang urgently, as if coming from deep within Liyang Sect.

"Is this an alarm? What's happening?" Xu Mu's heart skipped a beat, and he wanted to go out and check.

He had been in Liyang City for so long, but this was the first time he had heard such a sound.

The others in the tower couldn't help but follow Xu Mu as he walked out, wanting to know what was going on.

Bang!

The windows of the tower suddenly opened, and three figures controlled flying swords, turning into streaks of light and flying towards the depths of Liyang Sect.

"Zou Ping, you watch over for now. We'll continue the interrogation when we come back!" A voice transmitted through divine sense back into the tower.

"Disciple obeys!" Senior Brother Zou bowed towards the direction the three people had left.

At the same time, nearly a hundred streaks of light rose from various places in Liyang Sect, all flying towards the circular mountain pass in the depths of the sect.

The aura emanating from these streaks of light was all Foundation Building cultivators.

For a moment, it gave people the feeling that Foundation Building cultivators were as common as dogs.

Looking up at the sky, Xu Mu's eyes lit up.

Isn't this the best time to escape?

Maybe he can take this opportunity to leave the city with the three women.

Before Xu Mu could take any action, Senior Brother Zou, with a smile on his face, quickly walked down from the second floor and pulled him aside.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, I'll cross out your name later. You can go back now!"

"..." Xu Mu was slightly stunned, instantly understanding what the other party meant.

A grateful smile appeared on his face.

"Thank you for the trouble, Senior Brother Zou! If you need anything in the future, just let me know!"

As he spoke, he took out a middle-grade spirit stone and handed it over.

"Just a small gift! Please don't delay, Senior Brother Zou!"

"I knew it! Fellow Daoist Xu is a sensible person!"

Senior Brother Zou smiled and took the spirit stone.

After Xu Mu bid farewell and left, Zou collected the spirit stone and continued to look for the next person.

He wouldn't give up such a rare opportunity to take advantage.

As for interrogation, it was just a formality.

Besides, he wasn't a fool. The people he found were almost impossible to be spies.

For example, Xu Mu not only knew the elder of the sect, but also had a relationship with Yu Heng, and even had a family.

The chance of him being a spy was less than one in a million.

It would be a waste not to take advantage of this opportunity.

Moreover, Xu Mu didn't give too much in return.

If he gave too much, it would seem suspicious and raise doubts.

A high-grade spirit stone was just right.

After Xu Mu left the Liyang Sect, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He had thought of various methods, but he never expected to escape in this way.

"Connections can be quite useful sometimes! Haha!"

Xu Mu was in a good mood.

When he returned home, everyone came over to ask about what happened. Xu Mu only said it was just a formality and didn't mention Senior Brother Zou's help.

The fewer people who knew, the less trouble there would be.

Now everything was worry-free, and he was just waiting to leave Liyang City on the flying boat.

No, there was still the little trouble of Chi Feiyan.

Unwilling to accept it, she had been challenging Xu Mu these past few days.

Xu Mu simply replied that he was busy.

He already had the prescription in hand and was about to leave. The other party had little value.

As for the matter of alchemy, since he had promised, he would definitely do it. Whether there were subsequent events or not, it didn't really matter.

It was Chi Feiyan who was being clever.

When Chi Feiyan received Xu Mu's reply, she was infuriated and threatened to find someone else if Xu Mu didn't go.

Xu Mu simply replied with two words - "as you wish."

After all, they were someone else's wives and concubines. It had nothing to do with him.

He still had three people to deal with at home. He didn't have time to accompany her every night.

These past few days, he had been staying out all night, and Lan Shijin was already unhappy and wouldn't let him off the hook.

Late at night, Chi Feiyan suddenly sent a message.

"Xu Lang, I can't live without you!"

"..."

When Xu Mu went to see her, he found out that she had suffered a backlash from her cultivation technique.

Looking at the flowing stream on the ground, Xu Mu sighed helplessly.

After a long time, Xu Mu helplessly said, "Fellow Daoist Chi, you're making things difficult for me with your current state!"

"I don't care! I can't be without you now!"

The affection in Chi Feiyan's eyes was as strong as aged wine.

You can't be without me, but I must leave you!

I don't want to be hunted down by the Lu family!

"Take this thing! It might help you!" Xu Mu took out a magical tool from his storage bag and handed it to Chi Feiyan.

"What is this?"

Chi Feiyan looked at the smooth, thumb-sized, black magical tool in her hand, puzzled.

"You refine it! You'll know when you think of me!"

After Xu Mu left, Chi Feiyan quickly figured out how to use it. It did indeed alleviate her lovesickness.

But it could only alleviate it, and it couldn't compare to Xu Mu.

PS: If you don't know who the big shot is, you can go back to Chapter 38. I won't go into details here.

...

The next day.

A shocking news spread throughout Liyang City.

The Nascent Soul sect behind the Liyang Sect, Tianhe Sect, and the Nascent Soul sect behind the Soul Refining Sect, Tongyou Sect -

They had started a war!

When this news came out, the entire city was in an uproar.

Reading novels is just for fun, don't take it seriously, big shots!
