Longevity starts from having a daughter in old age

Chapter 459: Chapter 427 Inquiry_1

“Who seized her?” A thick killing intent permeated Xu Mu’s gentle tone.

As if completely oblivious to Xu Mu’s wrath, the Yuan Tong Business Firm’s guards were still surrounding him, remaining on high alert.

“Young Master, please consider…”

As Ren Qingzhu attempted once again to persuade him, Xu Mu dismissed her words. With a flick of his finger, a guard beside him was instantly torn to shreds.

This eerie and horrifying sight startled not only the members of the Yuan Tong Business Firm but also made the spectators in the auction seats abruptly rise.

No one had foreseen such a situation.

Everyone knew about the great reputation of the Yuan Tong Business Firm. No one had imagined that anyone would dare to cause trouble, let alone that the culprit would be from the host nation, Da Xia.

What on earth is happening? Has the Da Xia Nation gone mad?

They knew that the Yuan Tong Business Firm’s strength was on par with, if not greater than, the Da Xia Nation. Such a move was equivalent to a slap across the face.

Unless Xiao Tian Yuan personally goes to the headquarters of the Yuan Tong Business Firm to apologize on behalf of the Da Xia Nation, this matter would not blow over that easily.

After all, for a business firm, reputation and face matter the most. Only with these two does a business attract an unending stream of trade. If the reputation is lost, who would still do business with the firm, and without business, the firm will fall apart on its own.

Everyone was even more curious about Xu Mu’s identity and couldn’t comprehend the source of his audacity in offending the Yuan Tong Business Firm?

They were also curious about how Xiao Tian Yuan would handle the current situation?

If Xu Mu truly had the backing of a Martial Emperor, an apology and some compensation might be enough to settle the matter.

However, if not, solely relying on the Da Xia Nation might not bring about a satisfactory resolution.

While the crowd was still speculating, many embraced the unexpected twist with an excited anticipation, intrigued by the dramatic scene unfolding.

Xu Mu spoke again, “I’ll ask one more time. Who was it? Who was the one to seize her?”

Despite Xu Mu’s eerie technique, killing a martial artist of the Spirit level with a flick of a finger, the people from the Yuan Tong Business Firm weren’t particularly fearful.

Even if Xu Mu’s strength was formidable, they were not without a powerful backup. They didn’t believe that Xu Mu would truly engage in mass murder.

So when Xu Mu spoke again, the Martial Ancestor of the Yuan Tong Business Firm, in charge of this auction, didn’t hesitate and attacked Xu Mu without pausing.

As representatives of the Yuan Tong Business Firm, and with Xu Mu disregarding their presence and killing without hesitation, if he didn’t stand up, the reputation of the Yuan Tong Business Firm would be done for.

He himself wouldn’t have the face to stay in the Yuan Tong Business Firm too.

A giant white wolf shadow appeared behind the Martial Arts Grandmaster, which then combined to form a white wolf radiating a thick chill. The temperature in the auction hall plummeted, and snow seemed to swirl in the air.

This is the power of a Martial Arts Grandmaster – not only its ruthless destructive capability but also the ability to influence the surrounding environment.

“It’s the Arctic Heavenly Wolf!”

Martial Arts Grandmasters are truly illustrious figures who are among the influential everywhere. As the Arctic Heavenly Wolf and the resident Martial master of the Yuan Tong Business Firm traveling across the Eastern Continent, presiding over many auctions in multiple nations, he was quite famous. His identity was easily recognized as soon as he made a move.

The guards of the business firm instinctively scattered to avoid getting innocently involved in the confrontation.

On the other side, in his private suite, Xiao Tian Yuan had already rushed out intending to protect Xu Mu.

However, with the distance and lack of Xu Mu’s peculiar skills, coupled with many spectators being in the way, and him being the National Wusheng, he couldn’t savagely charge forward, making a massacre. Hence, he was a step too slow.

By the time he arrived, the Martial Arts Grandmaster, transformed into the white wolf, had already reached Xu Mu’s side.

The enormous white wolf opened its giant bloody mouth, emitting a chilling freeze, seemingly set to swallow Xu Mu whole.

“Stop!”

Xiao Tian Yuan shouted loudly, but it was unclear who he was asking to stop.

However, the Martial Arts Grandmaster evidently had no intentions of stopping. The face of the Yuan Tong Business Firm could not be lost here.

Just as he was about to strike, Xu Mu’s left hand formed a finger-knife. With a swift slash, a splashing sound was heard.

The Martial Arts Grandmaster, who had transformed into a white wolf, was instantly split in two by an invisible current of air.

Blood, accompanied by the scattering of internal organs, littered the ground. While the strong life force of the Martial Arts Grandmaster didn’t let him die instantly, his eyes burst with a look of disbelief. His body trembled and only after two or three gasps did he finally lose his breath.

Xiao Tianyuan, who had already rushed onto the auction stage, could only sigh helplessly at the scene before his eyes. After all, he was not a god. How was he supposed to save someone whose body had already been cut open?

Now the surrounding guards were truly terrified.

This was a Martial Arts Grandmaster, a figure that even emperors would respect, but now he had been killed as easily as one might slaughter a chicken.

Who could this young man be? Could he possibly be a Martial Emperor? However, they had never heard of such a young Martial Emperor.

Not to mention a Martial Emperor, even the Martial Saints of various countries were renowned figures. They would surely recognize them.

However, a young, unknown Martial Emperor suddenly appearing like this was truly shocking to them.

Not only the people on the auction stage, but also the audience below were shaking with fear.

If it was just killing a guard at the martial spirit level, they could have watched it calmly.

However, now he had killed a Martial Arts Grandmaster, and they could no longer remain calm.

If such a Martial Arts Grandmaster wished to kill them in such a situation, even the only Martial Saint present, Xiao Tianyuan, might not be able to protect them.

After all, protecting a person and killing a person are two completely different matters.

Seeing as how this mysterious young man could kill a Martial Arts Grandmaster as casually as killing a chicken, if he wanted to kill them, it would be as easy as stepping on an ant.

This feeling of not being in control of their own lives made them feel frightened, and some of the more timid ones were already running out.

After Xiao Tianyuan mounted the auction platform, he too could only sigh, and didn’t say anything.

His attitude left the people from his company, who had been relying on him, in complete despair.

Because it implied that no matter what Xu Mu did next, Xiao Tianyuan would not stop him.

At this point, two more Martial Arts Grandmasters from the Yuan Tong Business Firm, who had been hiding behind the scenes, attacked again.

This bit of information startled the remaining audience slightly.

They had initially thought that only one Martial Arts Grandmaster was holding the fort, it was unexpected that two were hidden behind the scenes. From this, you could see that the strength of the Yuan Tong Business Firm might be much stronger than they had imagined.

But could strength like this really be enough to deal with Young Master Xu before them now?

Or could it be said that the other party would really give face to him and spare them?

“Xiao Martial Saint, is this how your Da Xia Nation treats its guests?”

The two Martial Arts Grandmasters who had rushed over were obviously very wary of Xu Mu, hence directed their anger at Xiao Tianyuan, hoping he would step in to put off Xu Mu’s fury.

After all, since both of them knew Xu Mu, it’s not likely that he would kill his own people, right?

“It’s pointless talking to me, why don’t you answer my teacher’s question honestly?” Xiao Tianyuan shook his head and said.

Even he was like an ant in Xu Mu’s eyes, how could he dare to go against Xu Mu?

“Teacher?”

As Xiao Tianyuan spoke, the remaining crowd was once again startled.

Could it be that this seemingly young man was actually a reclusive old monster?

“Young Master, you should know, our company always maintains the strictest confidentiality about our clients.” The Martial Arts Grandmaster from the Yuan Tong Business Firm still wanted to reject, however, from his tone, you could already sense his submissiveness.

After all, Xu Mu had already killed two of them, one of whom was a high-ranked Martial Arts Grandmaster, and now they were talking humbly to him.

Xu Mu was completely out of patience to listen to these people’s nonsense.

With a wave of his hand, the air compressed into an invisible blade, and once again, he cleaved the speaking Martial Arts Grandmaster into two.

“I’m asking one last time, who was it that caught her?”
