The Longevity Family: Starting from the Foundation Establishment Ancestor

As expected, "Eclipse" had a backup plan! And the target was precise, aimed directly at his scattered teammates!

Han Mu's eyes instantly turned icy cold, and a chilling killing intent emanated from his body, causing Mei Ji, who was standing close by, to feel a chill run down her spine.

"Senior?" Meiji asked cautiously.

"I have urgent business. Let's talk another day," Han Mu said coldly, his tone leaving no room for argument. He raised his hand and snatched the bronze box from the auction stage, tossing it into his storage space without a second glance, leaving behind the words: "This item is temporarily borrowed as payment for my assistance. If the information is inaccurate, you will bear the consequences."

Before he could finish speaking, his figure blurred, transforming into a streak of gray-white light that shot towards the auction house exit. Zhou Meng and Bai Ling, seeing this, followed closely behind without hesitation.

Mei Ji opened her mouth, but ultimately didn't dare to stop him. She simply watched the direction Han Mu had left, her beautiful eyes gleaming even brighter. She whispered to a guard beside her, "Immediately report the situation here, as well as this senior's appearance and strength, to the Guild Master! Also, investigate the 'Blackwater Alley' area in the west of the city; see if the 'Time Pavilion' is making any unusual moves!"

"yes!"

Han Mu and his two companions sped off at full speed, ignoring the city's anti-flight formations, forcibly leaping across the rooftops and racing westward. Along the way, he contacted Old Ghost again via the gray jade talisman: "Exact location? How many are they? What's their strength?"

"My lord, they're in the abandoned warehouse in the middle of 'Blackwater Alley'! There are no fewer than twenty of them, at least three of them are late-stage Golden Immortals. The leader is an old man with a cold aura, who is suspected to be one of the managers of 'Time Pavilion'! Young friend Luo Feng and the others are trapped in the warehouse. They have activated the defensive array plate you gave them, but it won't last long!" Old Ghost's voice was full of anxiety.

"Where are Han Li and Liu Ruyan?" Han Mu asked.

"They've received the message and are on their way, but it's probably too late!"

"Understood." Han Mu cut off the communication and increased his speed by another three points. The fragments of the "Coffin of Origin" in his body resonated, and a trace of the "Time Acceleration" technique was added to the escape light, making his speed extremely fast, almost turning into a beam of light that was invisible to the naked eye.

Just ten breaths later, the three arrived at "Blackwater Alley" in the west of the city. This was a slum alleyway filled with sewage and dilapidated buildings, the air thick with the stench of decay and mold. At this moment, outside the abandoned warehouse in the middle of the alley, there were indeed more than twenty black-clad cultivators, each exuding a fierce aura. Most of them had a distorted hourglass pattern on their chests, and they were members of the "Reverse Time Alliance." The leader, an old man with a hooked nose and sinister eyes, was coldly directing his subordinates to continuously attack a layer of flickering gray-white light shield around the warehouse. Inside the light shield, Luo Feng, Li Qingzhu, Lin Fan, and Lin Xue could be vaguely seen standing back to back. Luo Feng held a battle axe, his body was injured, but he still glared angrily. Li Qingzhu and the other two were pale-faced, struggling to maintain the array plate.

That protective shield was formed from the life-saving array plate that Han Mu had given to Luo Feng, and its defensive power was sufficient to withstand short-term attacks from early-stage Taiyi cultivators. However, under the continuous bombardment of more than twenty "Reverse Time Alliance" cultivators, especially the gray-robed elder (peak Golden Immortal), it was already covered with cracks and on the verge of collapse.

"Heh heh, a few little rats, let's see how long you can last!" The gray-robed old man chuckled sinisterly. "Hand over your storage artifacts obediently and tell me the whereabouts of your accomplices, and I might grant you a quick death!"

[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name 1110 ...

"Pah! You old bastard! Wait until Senior Han arrives, then we'll see how you die!" Luo Feng spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva and cursed through gritted teeth.

"Senior Han? That's the guy who ruined our plans at the auction?" A cold glint flashed in the gray-robed elder's eyes. "He's barely able to protect himself, how could he save you? Break through!"

He formed hand seals, and a cold, dark gray energy with a "rebellious" aura gathered into a claw, which fiercely grabbed at the weakest point of the light shield!

Crack! The light shield finally gave way and shattered!

"Take him down!" the gray-robed old man shouted.

"Make your move!" At this critical moment, Han Mu's icy voice, like the pronouncement of death, rang out above everyone's heads.

Buzz! An invisible temporal domain instantly enveloped the entire warehouse area. All the "Reverse Time Alliance" cultivators, including the gray-robed elder, froze in their movements, as if they had sunk into a sticky swamp, their speed slowing down several times over.

Immediately afterward, a gray-white finger strike arrived first, precisely striking the gray-black energy claw that the gray-robed elder was using to grab Luo Feng. That energy claw, powerful enough to shatter a Golden Immortal's magic weapon, melted and vanished instantly, like ice and snow meeting the sun.

"Time... peel away." Han Mu's figure appeared like a ghost in front of the gray-robed old man, his right index finger lightly touching the old man's brow.

The old man in the gray robe was filled with extreme terror. He wanted to dodge, to block, but under the suppression of the Time Domain, his movements were as slow as a snail. He could only watch helplessly as that seemingly ordinary finger, carrying an aura of death that made his soul tremble, drew ever closer.

puff.

With a soft thud, the gray-robed old man's body stiffened, the light in his eyes quickly dimmed and became cloudy, his skin lost its luster and age spots appeared, and his life force seemed to be drained and stripped away in an instant, turning him into a lifeless, dried corpse, before he collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Instantly kill a peak Golden Immortal!

The remaining "Reverse Time Alliance" cultivators were so frightened that they dared not linger. With a shout, they scattered like birds and beasts.

"Trying to run?" Zhou Meng and Bai Ling snorted coldly, having already blocked their retreat. Warhammers and sword lights flew together, and screams rang out one after another. In a short while, more than twenty "Reverse Time Alliance" cultivators were either dead or wounded, and the entire army was wiped out.

"Senior Han! You've finally arrived!" Luo Feng plopped down on the ground, panting heavily, his face a mixture of lingering fear and excitement.

Han Mu waved his hand to dispel the Time Domain and looked at Luo Feng and the other three: "Are you all alright?"

"No...it's nothing, I just used up a lot of energy and suffered some minor injuries," Li Qingzhu quickly replied.

Han Mu nodded, his eyes cold as he looked at the gray-robed old man's corpse on the ground. "Eclipse"... This was forcing him to settle accounts ahead of schedule.

He brought up the system panel and quickly scanned it.

Name: Han Mu

[True Realm: Mid-stage Taiyi Jade Immortal (Peak State)]

[Time Rule: 87%]

[Status: Good. One peak Golden Immortal leader of the "Reverse Time Alliance" has been killed.]

[Celestial Aura: -6000 points]

[System Notification: Teammates successfully rescued. Conflict with the "Reverse Time Alliance" in Myriad Heavenly City is now unavoidable. Recommendation: Quickly establish substantive cooperation with the "Shadow Guild" to obtain information on the "Forging Workshop Secret Realm Map" and prepare for subsequent retaliation from "Eclipse."]

Just then, on the distant horizon, a vast, cold, and terrifying pressure, carrying an intense aura of "chaos" and destruction, slowly rose up like an ancient ferocious beast awakening, locking onto the direction of "Blackwater Alley"!

A hoarse voice, filled with boundless rage and murderous intent, boomed like thunder:

"Han Mu, you little thief! You killed my subordinates and ruined my grand plan! I, 'Eclipse,' will take your life today and refine your soul to sacrifice for my men!"
