Longevity starts from having a daughter in old age

Chapter 300: Chapter 269: Anger Born of Shame_1

“You’re courting death!”

Murong Shun angrily retorted.

At first, when he saw Xu Mu being lectured by the second prince and the seventh princess, he thought Xu Mu was easy to bully, so he thought of putting Xu Mu in his place to establish his authority.

Otherwise, if others found out, that Xu Mu was afraid of the people of the second prince and the seventh princess, yet not afraid of the people of the grand prince, he would lose face.

Both the grand prince and the seventh princess have always been the most powerful contenders for the throne. Even for insignificant matters like this, he must stand and fight to save face for the grand prince.

He had never imagined that Xu Mu was so audacious and actually dared to talk back to him.

He was somewhat embarrassed!

When facing the people of the second prince and the seventh princess, he was completely subdued without hesitation, why does he have to make things difficult for himself?

Murong Shun was confused and furious.

“Your mouth is kind of foul!” Xu Mu said, frowning.

Initially, he didn’t want to cause trouble, he wanted to keep his abilities hidden, and there was no need because he had already learned the spell up there.

He still hadn’t memorized the spell on the present tripod, and he had to look at it,

In his opinion, he was already very polite by standing far away and watching. Others didn’t say anything, Murong Shun must be treating him like trash.

“Damn it!”

Seeing he not only refused to apologize but even dared to talk back, Murong Shun was truly outraged this time.

The corner of his eyes seemed to catch others’ mocking faces.

His face was hot as he blushed with shame, completely losing rationality in his anger.

“Die!!”

Murong Shun spat out a flying sword, which turned into a streak of light and shot towards Xu Mu.

No one expected Murong Shun to dare to make a move here.

Xu Mu’s gaze turned cold, with a squeeze of his fingers, and he used the Space Grasp Skill, eight arms simultaneously bombarded the flying sword.

Clang!

A sound of metal clashing rang out, Murong Shun’s flying sword was blasted back.

“Damn it!”

Murong Shun’s face twisted as he squeezed the Finger Jue, and the flying sword instantly turned into hundreds of sword shadows, exuding a fierce Sword Qi, and shot towards Xu Mu.

Xu Mu did not hesitate either, his body radiated with the scorching sun’s real flame, the power of the Space Grasp Skill greatly increased, and clashed with the flying sword.

Murong Shun’s strength and cultivation far surpassed Wang Yongan’s, so Xu Mu had no choice but to bring out most of his strength to fight back right from the start, or he could be seriously injured.

“This guy is so powerful!”

Seeing Xu Mu block Murong Shun’s attack, the crowd was shocked.

The grand prince’s team also consisted of two people, besides Murong Shun, there was another called Jiang Wu. Both were in the late Golden Pill stage. Jiang Wu was a Soul Cultivator in the eighth stage of the Golden Pill, while Murong Shun was an Alchemist in the tier nine of the Golden Pill stage, his strength ranked in the top three among all of them.

Xu Mu was only in the middle stage of the Golden Pill, and appeared quite old. Both his combat power and cultivation should be at the bottom.

No one thought Xu Mu could last more than two rounds.

So no one expected that Xu Mu not only withstood the attack, but also seemed to have a feeling of equally matched strength.

“This guy has such strength, why was he so weak just now?”

The crowd was somewhat confused, even if he was hiding his abilities, wasn’t he hiding it too excessively?

What they didn’t know was, Xu Mu was just too lazy to take action.

If it weren’t for learning all the spells on the tripod, he wouldn’t have taken action this time.

“Brother Wu, what do we do now? Should we help?” Xie Chu asked, looking at the fighting duo.

“Well..”

Wu Chun hesitated for a moment, wondering whether to take action or not.

If he took action, it was equivalent to openly offending the grand prince. On the other hand, as allies, it seemed somewhat wrong to not help.

Looking at the others, they were basically watching the show from the sidelines.

They were in competition with one another and wished nothing more than for the two to smash each other’s brains out.

The only one on the field who took action was Xu Lingyu. Without any hesitation, he stood up and launched a mental attack at Murong Shun, but it was blocked by the well-prepared Jiang Wu.

In this way, a fight finally broke out amongst the two groups.

Xu Mu and Murong Shun were evenly matched, while Xu Lingyu was thoroughly suppressed by Jiang Wu. Fortunately, Jiang Wu was cautious enough not to fatally injure Xu Lingyu and was merely stopping him from assisting Xu Mu.

In the end, Wu Chun chose to sit by and watch.

With such a commotion, the guards of the heavenly prison would inevitably intervene. They should put an end to it soon!

Wu Chun’s thoughts were correct. Within a few breaths, a dominating Divine Intent probed in.

“This is a critical area of the Heavenly Prison! What do you two think you’re doing!”

The anger conveyed through the Divine Intent made everyone present shudder involuntarily.

The four people who were engaged in hot battle immediately stopped.

“We pay our respects to the Master!”

Everyone bowed in unison.

Although many of them were backed by princes and princesses, they still had to show absolute respect to the Master of Palm Immortal Office.

Let alone them, even the princes and princesses they were backed by had to behave respectfully in front of the Master of Palm Immortal Office.

He was one of the three most powerful individuals in the entire Da Yuan Dynasty, excluding the Emperor himself.

“Master, he…” Murong Shun wanted to argue and ideally smear Xu Mu’s reputation and drive him out, but the Master of Palm Immortal Office did not bother to listen to his nonsense.

“Shut up! If there’s any more commotion, all of you get out!”

The Master of Palm Immortal Office gave a cold command and quickly withdrew his Divine Intent, silencing everyone present. No one dared to speak anymore.

With the Master of the Palm Immortal Office’s status, cancelling their mission qualification would be easy.

“Old fool! You just wait and see!”

Murong Shun now utterly despised Xu Mu, feeling that he had been made a laughingstock in front of everyone because of him.

“I am at your disposal till the end!”

Xu Mu responded lightly, taking a few steps forward to continue watching the Spell on the Tripod.

Having lived so many years, he had encountered all sorts of hardships and certainly did not fear this little threat.

Although he would very much like to drive Xu Mu away, considering the importance of this mission, Murong Shun could only glower at Xu Mu and concentrate on comprehending his own spells.

“Friend Xu, I wanted to help you, but I fear it might escalate the situation. I hope you can understand!”

The moment the incident ended, Wu Chun immediately sent a message to Xu.

“I understand! Friend, you don’t have to worry about it!”

“That’s good! But you should be more careful in the future! I heard Murong Shun is quite petty!”

“Thank you for your warning, friend! I understand!”

After the two finished their conversation, Xu Mu continued to memorize the spells, while Xu Lingyu stayed beside him, his expression towards Xu Mu somewhat better.

When Xu Mu memorized the spells on the Tripod, he returned to his own large Tripod, starting to improve the realm of the spells one by one, and integrating all of them.

When all the spells were completely integrated, the Yuan Ding Skill went straight from tier seven to tier nine.

“Is it just tier nine?”

Xu Mu carefully comprehended the completed Yuan Ding Skill, finding that aside from being more profound and comprehensive, it did not exhibit much mysteriousness.

“The original caster of the nine Tripods must have cultivated this skill to an extreme realm, otherwise, it would not be possible to divide it into nine different spells!”

“If this skill indeed has some extraordinary capability, the other party probably wouldn’t be so kind as to leave it here for me to comprehend!”

Although he’d come to this realization, Xu Mu did not intend to give up as he still had one large Tripod left to comprehend.

That vastly superior and priceless Heavenly Spirit Treasure, the most precious item of the whole Heavenly Prison –

The God Refining Tripod!
