Longevity starts from having a daughter in old age

A Sea Race individual in the middle stages of the Golden Pill can naturally catch up with him in water, but also in the sky? That was a little abnormal.

“Honorable predecessor, I have gained nothing from this. Could you please spare me?”

Xu Mu said, all the while flying away and speaking over his shoulder.

“I could! But you have to stop and let me check!”

The dark-skinned woman said nonchalantly.

As the distance between them shortened, she calmed down even more, confident in her abilities that once she caught up, there would be no escape.

“Are you adamant about escalating matters to the point of no return?” Xu Mu asked with a frown and a cold voice.

He didn’t want to attract trouble for no reason, not because of fear, since he had other plans up his sleeve.

“Escalate? Indeed! I will escalate the matter! If you are wise, you will stop running, or else don’t blame me for not being polite!” the dark-skinned woman said arrogantly.

Unexpectedly, just as the last word left her mouth, Xu Mu stopped and not only that, he rushed towards her.

After a brief moment of astonishment, a smirk appeared on the dark-skinned woman’s face. She quickly formed a spell with her hands, and a black light shot out from her body, heading straight for Xu Mu.

At the same time, Xu Mu threw two immobilizing talismans.

A lion uses all its strength when hunting a rabbit, let alone an opponent far more formidable than him, whether by status, power or innate talent.

If he was going to fight back, it was crucial to aim for the kill on the first attack, leaving no room for retaliation.

Hence, Xu Mu cast his best weapon right away.

The worth of these two talismans was self-evident; even a Nascent Soul might hesitate to use them.

The black light was significantly faster than the talismans, bypassing Xu Mu’s multiple layers of defense as if it had no physical form and hit him directly.

Xu Mu was taken aback, assuming it was a spiritual attack. Although he had prepared defenses for such an attack, given its unpredictable nature, he wasn’t too sure of success.

The expected attack never came; instead, the black light merely marked his skin with a dark feather-like print, akin to the dark-skinned woman’s tattoo.

At the same time, the dark-skinned woman was hit with the two talismans that Xu Mu had thrown.

Turned into beams of light, mind and rear, they penetrated her multiple layers of protection. However, an invisible force deflected them just before they could hit her skin.

Damn!

Xu Mu cursed inwardly.

If she can deflect even a tier nine immobilizing talisman, her ability is unquestionably beyond that of Mu Yunwan.

Without much hesitation, Xu Mu turned around, ready to run again. Though he had other methods in intention, none of them surpassed the immobilizing talisman.

If the talisman didn’t work at all, the success rate of the remaining methods would likely be less than fifty percent.

Therefore, at this moment, escape was the superior option.

Just as Xu Mu was about to take flight, one of the talismans suddenly burst into a dazzling light and disintegrated into ashes, while the other landed firmly on the dark-skinned woman.

The woman’s eyes widened as she lost control of her body and fell straight toward the sea.

“Did it actually work? Really?”

Xu Mu couldn’t believe what had just happened. He quickly recovered and caught her just before she landed in the sea.

“You scoundrel! Let go of me! Do you know who I am?”

The dark-skinned woman snapped fiercely.

Her eyes held shock and anger but no fear.

“Do you know who I am?”

Xu Mu retorted, slapping her across the face twice.

You insisted on chasing me, now you’re giving me a hard time? It’s a little too late for that, isn’t it?’

“You, you… I’ll kill you!”

The woman, slapped across the face, was filled with uncontrollable rage, her eyes almost shooting fire.

“You want to kill me? Dream on!”

Xu Mu was going to kill the woman immediately, but paused just as he was about to strike.

She was clearly high-ranking, considering her position among the blue-scaled creatures, and likely had lifesaving methods.

Even though these couldn’t prevent the immobilizing talisman, they might protect her from a direct attack.

If he dared to strike, there would likely be a reaction immediately.

After a brief hesitation, Xu Mu first took the woman’s storage pouch, then, holding her, he started flying towards the Inner Sea.

Her subordinates were likely able to track them down, so staying in one place was absolutely not an option.

While flying at high speed, Xu Mu asked, “What’s your name? And your background?”

“Why should I tell you?!”

The dark-skinned woman said with arrogance.

“You must think that because I hold back, I cannot deal with you!”

With a slight smile, Xu Mu was about to reveal his Lifebound magic artifact.

Sure enough, this made the dark-skinned woman change her expression dramatically, and she immediately said, “My name is Ming Ling Yulan! I am a princess of the Sea Race’s Imperial Clan! If you dare to harm me, you must understand the consequences! Even if you run to the ends of the earth, you can’t escape death!”

“As I thought!” Xu Mu thought to himself.

In fact, as soon as he saw the woman’s unusual appearance, he had already guessed her identity.

After all, the physical characteristics of the Sea Race’s Imperial Clan aren’t exactly a secret, and judging by her grandeur, it was not hard to guess.

“If I let you go now, would you spare me?” Xu Mu retorted.

“If you hand over everything in the secret domain, I won’t necessarily kill you.” Ming Ling Yulan replied.

She still dares to threaten me at a time like this?

Xu Mu takes action without hesitation.

He didn’t care about offending her anymore.

The lifesaving methods she carries are probably like the tools from before, they won’t react unless they reach a certain intensity.

“Ahhhh! You lowly human, just you wait! Once I escape, I will not only kill you but annihilate your entire clan!”

Ming Ling Yulan’s eyes radiated anger, she was practically exploding.

In her hundreds of years of life, this was the first time she was so humiliated and by a human, whom she despised.

“Ha! Wipe out my clan? I believe you’ll have to wait for your next life!” Xu Mu laughed.

“Humph! You think you can kill me?” Ming Ling Yulan spoke disdainfully.

“I indeed can’t kill you, but throwing you into some dangerous secret domain won’t be a problem.”

Upon hearing this, Ming Ling Yulan’s face changed slightly, she stubbornly said, “You can try!”

Seeing Ming Ling Yulan’s reaction, Xu Mu knew that his method had an effect.

There are countless extremely dangerous places in the Outer Sea where even those at the Nascent Soul stage perish immediately on entry. No matter how many lifesaving methods she has, if she’s thrown in, she will certainly die.

“How about this, you teach me how to remove this mark, and I’ll let you go!”

Xu Mu pointed to the black feather mark on his body and said.

After scrutinizing the mark a little earlier, he noticed that it does not harm the body but it cannot be cleansed.

Xu Mu speculated that the function of this mark might be for tracking. If he doesn’t clear it immediately, he might be hunted down by the Sea Race.

Without his Immobilize Talisman, he couldn’t be sure of taking down another Golden Pill master.

Ming Ling Yulan’s eyes flickered slightly before straightforwardly replying, “Okay!”

Xu Mu was somewhat surprised. He expected that he would have to do something to persuade her.

But this is better.

“Please let me know. As long as the mark can be removed, I promise to return your belongings!”

Xu Mu meant what he said.

From the beginning to now, he never wanted to provoke her. It was she who kept chasing him. If he can get rid of the mark, he will definitely keep his promise.

“Fine! I hope you keep your word!”

Then, Ming Ling Yulan rapidly explained a profoundly complicated martial method.

“Once you master this, you can cleanse the mark!” Ming Ling Yulan said.

Xu Mu frowned slightly as he observed a new skill appearing on his system interface.

Tier nine?

Mayfly Skill?

Let’s level it up first!

(Mayfly Skill +10]!

[Mayfly Skill +10]!

[Proficiency in the Mayfly Skill; 1/10.24W]!

After integrating the memory, Xu Mu, with a blank face, slapped Ming Ling Yulan across the face.

“I’m giving you another chance. You won’t have any excuses if I’m not polite!”

This martial method has absolutely nothing to do with cleansing the mark.
