Longevity starts from having a daughter in old age

Chapter 281: Chapter 250 Jiu Li Skill_1

“Impossible!”

Seeing Xu Mu stepping out untouched from the dust, the Lord of the Divine Insect Valley was greatly alarmed.

He knew very well how strong his own attack was, and it would be impossible for anyone to withstand it, unless—

The Lord of the Divine Insect Valley’s pupils constricted harshly, he had a bad feeling. He immediately slapped his pocket and two red centipedes flew out, darting towards Xu Mu like two red flying swords.

“Don’t bother with that woman, hurry up and come to help!” The Lord of the Divine Insect Valley yelled loudly.

The disciples of the Divine Insect Valley were shaken, and they immediately launched an attack towards Xu Mu with a variety of magic artifacts and parasitic insects.

In an instant, Xu Mu was once again engulfed by dense attacks.

“Buzzing insects are the most annoying.”

Xu Mu uttered, his hands rubbing together and a fire dragon appeared. With a wide-open mouth, it swallowed all attacks, including the two centipedes from the Lord of the Divine Insect Valley, which were comparable to tier four monster beasts, and immediately began to emit a delicious smell.

Roar!

The fire dragon roared angrily, suddenly exploded, and transformed into hundreds of fire snakes, attacking in all directions.

What no one noticed was that just as the Lord of the Divine Insect Valley launched his attack and had his disciples assist him, he himself slapped a high-tier talisman onto his body, immediately transforming into an escape light, and attempting to flee.

What a joke, the opponent was unscathed even after taking so many direct attacks, now that he had played all his cards, wouldn’t continuing to fight just be seeking death?

As for the grudge for his son?

He should just pretend he never had this son, he could always have another one in the future!

“I’ve waited so long, I will not let you escape!”

Xu Mu smiled slightly, white wings emerging from his back. Like an angel, his figure disappeared in the next moment, and when he reappeared, he was blocking the Lord of the Divine Insect Valley.

“Misunderstanding! It’s all a misunderstanding!”

Cold sweat broke out on the Lord of the Divine Insect Valley’s face, and he managed to squeeze out a smile that was uglier than crying.

“My son offended the senior, he deserved his death. I am willing to give up all of our family assets as compensation, I only ask the senior to spare my life!”

“Hehe!”

Looking at the Lord of the Divine Insect Valley, Xu Mu couldn’t help but laugh.

Such a cautious and sensible person was rare to come by.

So, he couldn’t afford to let him live!

“After your death, your belongings will naturally be mine. There’s no need for you to offer them as compensation.”

As he spoke, white flames emerged from Xu Mu’s body. He reached out and grabbed the Lord of the Divine Insect Valley’s head. The radius of a hundred meters was lit up by the flames on his body, as bright as daylight.

“Damn it, if you won’t spare me, then I’ll fight you to the end!”

The Lord of the Divine Insect Valley’s face showed a ruthless expression, his internal energy surging, clearly intending to self-destruct.

However, in front of Xu Mu, a lowly Foundation Establishment Stage practitioner stood no chance of resistance. His palm pressed against his forehead, suppressing his energy.

Then, his mighty Divine Intent entered the consciousness world of the Lord of the Divine Insect Valley, beginning the search for his soul.

“Jiu Li Skill! Quite interesting!”

Xu Mu discovered through the soul search that the parasitic bug cultivation method of the Lord of the Divine Insect Valley was extraordinary. If not for the incompleteness of his martial method, his strength would be much greater.

“I sure was a bit careless this time!”

Originally, he only thought he was dealing with an ordinary Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator, but he didn’t expect the opponent not only secretly poisoned him but could also impact him to a certain extent.

Although this impact was minute, it was already outstanding. After all, the opponent was only at the Foundation Establishment Stage. If both were at the Golden Core Stage, he might indeed fall into the opponent’s hands.

“The grand path has three thousand ways, not all of them are about fighting and killing. Some underhanded tactics are indefensible, I must be more cautious in the future!”

Xu Mu silently warned himself in his heart. Just because his cultivation level was higher than others, he shouldn’t underestimate them.

He collected the storage bag from the Lord of the Divine Insect Valley, stripped him of all his valuable belongings, and finally burnt the body into ashes with True Flame.

As for the disciples of the Divine Gu Valley on the ground, they met the same fate.

“It’s a pity that these people’s cultivation levels are too low to possess anything valuable!”

But even a mosquito’s meat is still meat, Xu Mu had no intention of sharing with Zhao Yan, and of course Zhao Yan wasn’t foolish enough to ask for it.

Zhao Yan thanked Xu Mu and went back into the inn to check on her subordinates.

The enemy obviously wanted to capture them alive. Other than a few injuries, none of her subordinates were missing. This was a lucky break in an otherwise unfortunate situation, causing Zhao Yan to let out a sigh of relief.

These people were her trusted subordinates. If they all died here, she would have no one to rely on when she returned to the family.

At this time, Xu Mu was studying the jade slip containing the cultivation inheritance of the Lord of the Divine Insect Valley and learning the parasitic insect techniques recorded within.

Compared to the skills and Divine Skills he cultivates, the power of these insect techniques might not be much stronger, but had versatile applications and might have unexpected effects in special circumstances.

At the very least, learning these could help avoid being poisoned again in the future.

“I heard that people in the Westernmost Land are proficient in the Witch bug killingSkill. If I get a chance, it would be nice to observe it! Especially the killing skill – if I can learn it, I can kill anyone who displeases me. It’s untraceable, an absolute necessity for home and travel!” Xu Mu thought to himself.

When dawn broke, the team set out again. This time, since there was no need to lure anyone, Xu Mu generously healed everyone. The team’s spirit was even higher than when they first met, despite the damage to their equipment.

After dealing with the Lord of the Divine Insect Valley, they encountered no major problems along the way, aside from a few blind bandits.

After a six-day journey, they finally arrived at the city of Chi Zhou Prefecture. Looking at the city stretching out like a giant dragon in the distance, Zhao Yan was finally able to relax completely.

“Senior, I have a townhouse in the city. Would you mind staying there for a few days until I can pay you?” Zhao Yan said somewhat awkwardly.

A hundred and fifty spirit stones may not mean much to Xu Mu, but to her, it was a huge amount. It would take a few days to gather the funds.

Of course, she had no intention of backing out of the deal. With the skills Xu Mu demonstrated, unless she was foolish, she wouldn’t even entertain such a thought.

“Okay!”

Xu Mu nodded, not bothered by it.

A few spirit stones were nothing to him; his target was the Zhao family.

As soon as they reached the city gate, cultivators from the Zhao family who had received the news were there waiting for them. Zhao Yan instructed her subordinates to bring Xu Mu to her townhouse while she went to the family’s ancestral house with a member of the Zhao family.

Zhao Yan’s townhouse was located in the southeast corner of the city, a huge courtyard that occupied almost five acres. Inside there were hundreds of willow trees. It was summer and the trees were green and the cicadas were singing. It was like a paradise. Who could have imagined that such a wonderful place existed in this bustling city?

However, Xu Mu took one look and shook his head.

Everything here was fine except for one thing – the Spiritual Energy was too sparse.

To a cultivator, Spiritual Energy was everything. Even ten courtyards like this would not be equivalent to a low-tier Spirit Land measuring three square inches.

No wonder Zhao Yan, who was only in the Qi Cultivation Stage, could afford such a big courtyard.

To cultivators, this courtyard was worthless.

Things were different here than in the Cang Ming Ocean Territory. There wasn’t much Spiritual Energy in the city; it was mostly concentrated in the settlements of families and sects.

However, Xu Mu didn’t care about it. His cultivation relied entirely on pills. Commercial value made no difference to him.

On the second day, after Xu Mu had just moved into Zhao Yan’s townhouse, Zhao Yan brought an elderly woman with an unusual aura to the house.
