Longevity starts from having a daughter in old age - Chapter 527

Chapter 527: Chapter 483: Storm_1

Cultivators riding flying chats shuttled back and forth in the sky, surrounded by multiple layers of defensive formations that occasionally glinted with various colors. Puppet guards clad in magic artifact armor, and armed with weapons, vigilantly surveyed the surroundings.

If anyone could see beneath the surface, they would find various formations protecting the ground too, along with a large number of spirit beasts capable of living underground, hidden all around.

Furthermore, several talismans had been arrayed in the periphery, ready to be triggered as soon as anyone recklessly approached.

This camp, shielded like an iron barrel, was the main base of the Immortal Alliance.

Aside from the impervious outer defense, its interior was garrisoned by a large number of experts, including several dozens in the Nascent Soul Stage alone.

There were even rumors of some Divinity Transformation Stage cultivators hidden within, but no one had seen them yet.

“What’s the situation at the Golden Mountain outlet?”

“The poisonous miasma has receded; it should have been cleaned!”

“That’s good! Wait for Lord Greenwave to return and let him report the detailed news!”

“Yes!”

“Has anyone discovered anything from this attack?”

Within the headquarters hall, the Alliance Hierarch of the Immortal Alliance was discussing recent war affairs with several Elders of the Alliance.

Li Youmeng, the seventh princess of the DaYuan Dynasty, had a corner spot from where she could overhear the discussion.

Upon hearing that the crisis at the Golden Mountain outlet had been resolved, her eyebrows involuntarily furrowed.

According to the reports she received, it should have been able to hold out for a while longer.

She conjectured inwardly, did Master Greenwave ignore their agreement and decide to act prematurely?

Loose cultivators, they really can’t be trusted!

Li Youmeng muttered inwardly but did not let her feelings show on her face.

As soon as the meeting ended, she returned to her quarters and immediately sent a message to Qiao Qianqian, inquiring about the exact circumstances.

However, after her message was sent, a long time passed with no reply.

“Could an accident have occurred?”

As she thought of this, her face did not show any concern; instead, she exhaled heavily.

Since even Qiao Qianqian met with misfortune, her younger sister Li Youlan would most likely not have a good end either. This way, her objective would be achieved.

As for Qiao Qianqian, she deserved to die.

“And the people of the Xu Family! They should all already be dead! Once confirmation comes, I’ll find a chance to clear out the remaining forces too!”

A smile of satisfaction spread across Li Youmeng’s face, a day she had been waiting for quite a long time.

Ever since she was humiliated by Xu Mu in the secret realm, she looked forward to taking revenge every day.

Unfortunately, every attempt ended in failure, and also caused her to suffer heavy losses. Now, by wiping out his family, she could finally vent the resentment in her heart.

“Only that bastard got off easy! Hmph!”

“Did he now?”

A familiar voice resonated from behind her. Goosebumps instantly prickled across Li Youmeng’s entire body, and she abruptly stood up.

Before she could send out a distress signal, a large hand gripped her throat, sealing her spiritual power.

Her body was forcibly turned around.

The man before her bore a strong resemblance to her mortal enemy, only much younger.

Her eyes were filled with confusion and shock, but not much fear.

She had a life-saving method left by the family patriarch on her, unless a Divinity Transformation stage practitioner intervened, she wouldn’t die.

“I originally didn’t want to bother with you, but who would’ve thought you’d go looking for death yourself.”

Xu Mu shook his head with a sigh.

“You dare to kill me?!”

Li Youmeng spat out the words sharply.

“I know what’s on your mind, but how could I possibly kill you? This person is rather kind-hearted and prefers repaying grievances with virtue.”

Xu Mu smiled and pried open her mouth, stuffing a pill inside.

“Get lost, what did you put in?” Li Youmeng cursed.

“You’ll find out soon enough.”

Xu Mu threw her onto the ground and his figure instantly vanished.

Li Youmeng disregarded the disappearing Xu Mu, immediately swallowed a detoxification pill, and began cultivating to refine it.

But before the effects of the pill dissipated, the spiritual energy inside her body began to become restless. Beyond her control, it started to condense towards her core, advancing towards the Nascent Soul Stage.

“The Nascent Forming Pill?!! What on earth is this bastard trying to do?”

Li Youmeng was both stunned and perplexed, not understanding why the other party would be so kind as to give her such a precious pill.

This could be considered the best pill to aid in transitioning to the Nascent Soul Stage, priceless would be an understatement.

But she soon understood.

The pill was laden with impurities, while assisting her in condensing her Nascent Soul, it contaminated all the spiritual energy within her body. Soon, her pure Golden Pill became unsightly and filthy.

“It’s a defective pill! Bastard! Bastard! Even in death I won’t let you go!!”

In Li Youmeng’s resentful roar, her body swelled up suddenly and in the next moment, it exploded into fragments, even her soul along with it.

Not even a chance to be a ghost!

News soon reached the DaYuan Dynasty.

The Seventh Princess failed her breakthrough to Nascent Soul Stage and perished.

Although the DaYuan Dynasty did not fully believe this outcome, after multiple thorough investigations, no clues were found, therefore the matter could only be dropped.

After all, in the heavily fortified Immortal Alliance Headquarter, no one could possibly carry out such an act.

If someone could actually commit such an act under such strict surveillance without being detected, then the other party’s strength could be imagined.

The DaYuan Dynasty could investigate, but they would have to weigh whether it’s worth it or not.

On the other side, members of the Alliance Headquarters dispatched an envoy to investigate Master Greenwave’s demise.

The final conclusion was that he was ambushed and slain by the Demon Gate.

“Friend Xu, rest assured. The investigation found no issues. I will go back and report this to the Alliance Hierarch! I will also report about your desire to join the alliance! In a few days, the Alliance Hierarch might personally come to visit you, please prepare yourself!”

God Lord Qian Shan left the camp, laughing heartily, and bid farewell, as Xu Mu and Li Youmeng saw him off.

Although the investigation held many doubts, who would want to offend a Nascent Soul late-stage Great Cultivator for a dead man?

It should be known that, minus those of Divinity Transformation Stage, late-stage cultivators are the highest ranks in the Alliance. As long as they agree to join the Alliance, they can immediately take the position of Vice Alliance Hierarch.

Especially a cultivator like Xu Mu from a small family, who is especially favored in the Alliance. If he were to join, he’d immediately garner a large following.

Under such circumstances, why cause unnecessary trouble?

After God Lord Qian Shan and his people left, Xu Mu and Li Youmeng sat together alone once again.

“So, the situation really is…”

Li Youlan couldn’t help her curiosity, wanting to ask, but Xu Mu interrupted her.

“Now that it’s in the past, there’s no need to pry. Knowing might not be a good thing.” Xu Mu smiled and said.

Li Youlan contemplated for a moment, sighed and nodded.

Since it happened already and she couldn’t change it, and since there weren’t any traces left, why invite trouble by digging into it?

“What are your plans now? Do you really plan to join the Alliance? This isn’t such a good time! Many people are trying to keep their distance!” Li Youlan said with concern.

Even though the Alliance has the upper hand, the Demon Gate isn’t weak, and has many strong players as well.

One can’t always walk next to the river and not wet their shoes. Even at the later stages of Nascent Soul, there is a possibility of death.

At this time, many powers are hiding their strength, no one’s rushing forward.

“Relax, I’m not a fool to be used as a pawn! I have other plans for joining the Alliance!”

As Xu Mu spoke, he took out a few things and placed them in front of Li Youlan.
