Longevity starts from having a daughter in old age

Chapter 461: Chapter 429 Punishment_1

“I’ll ensure you thoroughly enjoy this.”

Xu Mu’s voice, calm as still water, suddenly resounded in the bustling room.

The entire box fell abruptly silent, as no one expected that a young man would suddenly appear.

“Kid, who are you? I don’t remember ordering a young boy!” The bearded man furrowed his eyebrows.

Despite their frequent travels in the wilderness and their indifference to worldly pleasures, and even though they had interacted with each other, they wondered why they needed to engage themselves with such worldly matters while they were in the city.

Even though the young man before them was to his liking, he had already expended quite a bit of energy and had no intention to try something new.

“Boy, did the shopkeeper send you? Our boss doesn’t like you, but I wouldn’t mind taking care of you.”

Some of the big beards underlings were interested in trying something new.

Xu Mu’s expression was indifferent, his figure appearing ghost-like in front of the speaking man. Without an apparent movement, the man’s limbs fell off automatically.

By the time he reacted, the intense pain surged into his brain through his nerves.

“Ahhhh!”

The pain had shattered his consciousness, leaving him capable of nothing more than screaming.

His companions all jumped in fear, while the young women accompanying them turned weak with fright, unable to control their own bodily functions.

“Bastard, what on earth have you done?”

Bearded man was startled, and he went to reach for his weapon, which was cast aside.

As soon as he turned around, his legs were separated from his body.

“Ahhhh!”

Contact with the bloody flesh and the floor caused him to scream in pain.

The rest of his gang was panicking, unsure of how they had provoked such a killer.

Xu Mu’s figure was flashing around the room; all six slave traders had their limbs chopped off and could only squirm in pain on the ground.

The women, terrified, had crawled and rolled their way out of the room, and Xu Mu did not bother to stop them.

“Spare us, spare us!”

Although they did not know why Xu Mu attacked them or what his background was, they were now completely at his mercy and could do nothing but beg.

Xu Mu ignored their pleas and their screams.

Taking their weapons, his dexterous figure weaved through the crowd.

He cut off their tongues, gouged out their eyes, and sliced off their ears.

In the end, he just sat there calmly, looking at their worst than death states.

He only began to gather his body’s illusion and searched through their memories when the Tavern owner led the security over.

From their memories, he learned that they were slave traders in the vicinity of LeFeng City. They captured farmers in mountain villages and sold them for profit.

In one capture, they accidentally encountered Yue and Uncle Nan Hu and set a trap to capture them both.

Uncle Nan Hu, in order to protect Yue from the cruel fate of being a slave, revealed Yue’s true identity.

He figured that being kept as a pet by a large family was far better than facing the fate of being a prostitute.

When these people learned Yue’s true identity, they saw it as a huge fortune and turned to Yuan Tong Business Firm. They had been hoping for some good luck but they didn’t expect Yue to be a direct descendant of the Martial God.

If they hadn’t crossed paths with Xu Mu, it would have been the opportunity of their lifetime.

Let’s just say it was a matter of timing and fate, blaming themselves for their bad luck.

Through his Soul Search, Xu Mu found out from their memories where Nan Hu was being kept. It was in a small courtyard where they lived in the city.

Having obtained the information he wanted, he had no intention of letting them off. He let them squirm in pain on the ground while he left without a word.

When the tavern-owner led the people in, they were met by a hellish scene that made him throw up on the spot.

“Quickly send someone to notify Yuan Tong Business Firm, let’s see how they handle this!” The tavern owner shivered with fear.

This tavern was property of Yuan Tong Business Firm and these people were high-ranking members sent by the firm to be taken care of here.

A major incident had occurred and he feared he would be affected too.

“The matter with a descendant of the Martial God, isn’t something some rural martial artists can manage. It’s good that the other party had a clear target, otherwise I may have had to pay.”

The tavern owner suddenly felt somewhat relieved.

But just as he sent the news out and before a response could be returned, another sudden piece of news came that totally stunned him.

A mysterious young man storms the auction venue, killing two Martial Arts Grandmasters from Yuan Tong Business Firm!!!

This news was much more explosive than what had happened in the tavern.

It took the tavern owner quite a while to recover.

Just then, he remembered the young girls who were serving the men, who said their killer was a young man in white.

A young man?

Could it be the same person?

The tavern keeper was shaken with a premonition of an impending storm.

…

Within a seclude courtyard in Du City, Uncle Nan Hu was chained with iron made from refined iron. One end of the chain was fused into an iron pillar leaving him unable to move.

His whole demeanor was one of the defeated, devoid of strength; his heart was full of regret.

“It’s all my fault for not being able to protect the young miss. I failed the former head of the household’s trust!!”

Originally, he was just an orphan, taken in by the former family head who provided his food and drink, and taught him martial arts. Later, the family was destroyed by an enemy and he escaped with Yue, spending their days wandering and avoiding attacks.

During their escape, he was severely injured several times and even his martial arts were completely destroyed. He could only hang on in the wilderness.

He thought about settling Yue down somewhere, but he was unwilling in his heart.

As a descendant of the Martial God, who had risked his life to protect her, he could not be satisfied to see her living as a farmer’s wife. If those dead relatives knew about this, they probably wouldn’t be able to close their eyes in peace.

So, he continued to drift about, looking for opportunities whenever he could.

It was because of this decision that they ended up being targeted by the slave traders.

If not for that, with his skills, even if his martial abilities were destroyed, he wouldn’t have been captured so easily by a few slave traders.

The ones who captured them were not the bearded man’s men. After all, the bearded man was a martial artist, he would not stoop so low to catch ordinary people.

Now he could foresee the miserable life Yue was going to face. If he knew this would happen, he would rather choose to end it himself, at least preserving the last trace of dignity of their family.

Just when he was in despair, the cellar door was opened.

“These people can’t wait to kill me?”

Uncle Nan Hu bitterly smiled, resolving that even if he was going to die, he would take a piece of their flesh with him.

But the person who appeared before him was someone he least expected.

“You, how are you here?”

Seeing Xu Mu, who had only left a month ago, Uncle Nan Hu questioned whether he was hallucinating.

Could it be that his mental breakdown had led him to imagine a disabled young man coming to their rescue?

It must be a hallucination. The person was fully unscathed, he was not the Xu Mu he knew.

Uncle Nan Hu mournfully shook his head, thinking he might have entered an illusion.

Snap!

Xu Mu reached out and snapped all the iron chains on his body, the corner of his mouth revealing a hint of a smile.

“It’s only been a month, Uncle Nan Hu. You’ve lost quite a bit of weight!”

“…”
