Longevity starts from having a daughter in old age

Chapter 191: Chapter 163: Remnants of the Demonic Dao_3

Translator: 549690339 |

This man’s strength is too formidable, his power unmatched!

A high-tier Earth Escape Talisman appears in his hand, and the man in the red robe is about to activate it to flee.

As for the fate of his subordinates, he couldn’t care less.

Being a cultivator of the Demonic Dao, sacrificing others for his own gain is as common as breathing.

“Trying to escape? Heh heh!”

The boy smirks coldly, pinching his fingers together to create a tiny flame that quickly transforms into flying needles, immediately shooting out.

Thud thud!

All the cultivators in the room have their heads pierced by these flying needles in the blink of an eye.

They’re utterly powerless, including the strongest among them, the man in the red robe.

The children huddle together in fear, equally terrified of the boy.

Only Xing Wei steps forward one pace, opening her mouth to speak, but then closing it again.

The boy hops down from the Pill Furnace. At the same time, a bird resembling a peacock but with an extraordinarily long tail, a divine bird of a brilliant blue hue, flies out from within him. It circles around the bodies, extracting souls one after another.

Sure enough, the boy is Xu Mu.

The majestic blue bird is known as a Fenghuang, evolved from a Cyanzao, possessing power not much weaker than an average Golden Pill. He calls it the Blue Luan, a creature he uses to protect this body of his.

After accessing these people’s memories, he knows their origins and their backgrounds.

It turns out they’re a group of loose cultivators who received a Demonic Dao inheritance. Finding out the marketplace in the city is densely populated, they constructed a secret base nearby, intending to abduct children for alchemy. Unfortunately, they crossed paths with Xu Mu.

“It seems the force around the perimeter of the marketplace needs to be reinforced. Similar incidents will likely decrease in the future!”

Though the demonic sects have been eradicated, eradicating the demonic inheritances is extremely difficult. By the time the remnants of the Demonic Dao were extinguished, countless people had already fetched their inheritances.

The practice of the Demonic Dao differs from the righteous path, especially in the initial stage when wicked methods can lead to rapid progress.

This supports the risk-taking behavior of the cultivators who possess mediocre talent and inadequate resources.

This is something that, under any circumstances, can never be prohibited.

Or rather, the Demonic Dao is a part of the Immortal Dao itself — they just act more drastically and employ brutal means.

It has only been thirty years since the eradication of the Tongyou Sect and its affiliated forces. Undoubtedly, many cultivators of the Demonic Dao still exist.

The remnants dare not venture into the central region of a large sect. If they wish to survive, they can only target marketplaces like this one — one that is just beginning to rebuild and is near the original Demonic Dao territory.

According to the information reported by Chi Feiyan, the real disaster areas are those originally controlled by the Demonic Dao. The incidences of demonic cultivators being sighted are frequent there, and the battles never cease. To truly eradicate the remnants of the Demonic Dao, it will likely take at least a hundred years.

Xu Mu picks up the red-robed man’s storage bag and turns to leave.

“Xu… Xu, what should we do?” Xing Wei gathers her courage to ask.

“You all just wait here, guards from the marketplace will come and take you back home soon,” Xu Mu says with a smile, waving his hand as he disappearing from sight.

He doesn’t have time to send these kids back. He joined their ranks merely to find out what they were up to; now that he’s had his fun, it’s time to leave.

Not long after, marketplace guards, following orders from their superior, arrive to clean up the mess and take the children back to their respective homes. “Uncle, do you know where Xu is?” Xing Wei couldn’t help but ask the guard.

“I don’t know!”

The guard shakes his head.

“We were just ordered from above to eliminate the demonic cultivators! If he’s surnamed Xu, he must be one of the Xu family elders”

Only a high-tiered expert from the Foundation Establishment Stage could kill so many demonic cultivators. There’s only one influential power in the entire marketplace—The Xu Family—who could do it. So if that person surnamed Xu is definitely from the Xu Family. As to the exactly who this was, he, a mere guard, had no means to know.

His superiors had passed down orders not to disclose any information about this, especially not to make wild guesses.

“The Xu Family elder?”

Seeing the guard turn a blind eye, Xing Wei can only bury her thoughts deep within, hoping to properly thank this person if the opportunity arises in the future.

On the other hand, having returned to the marketplace, Xu Mu’s main body is transferred to the city of Liyang. Under the protection of Chi Feiyan’s people, he boards a flying boat to Tianhe Sect to participate in their once-in-a-decade apprentice selection ceremony.

Meanwhile, his main body traverses through a spatial rift to the Palace of Pure Heart to visit his two children who are about to be born.

Half a year later, his clone reaches Tianhe City, taking his new identity to Tianhe Sect to enroll.

“I wonder if this body of mine will manage to pass unnoticed?”
