The Longevity Family: Starting from the Foundation Establishment Ancestor

After the phantom left, Han Mu wasted no time and immediately summoned Zhou Meng and the others to discuss the specific action plan.

"My lord, although Ghost Hand and Poison Scorpion are controlled by the Third Elder, they are, after all, veteran Grand Luo Immortals, proud and arrogant, and may not easily trust us," Han Li analyzed.

"So I want to interview them in person, let them see the detoxification process firsthand. Once the toxins are removed, they will naturally know which side to choose," Han Mu said.

"That's true. After all, nobody wants to be controlled. But, my lord, what if they turn on us after they're cured? Two Great Luo Immortals working together won't be easy to deal with," Zhou Meng said worriedly.

"Kill them if they turn against me. It'll be a good opportunity to establish my authority and let the rest know the consequences of betraying me." Han Mu's tone was calm, but his killing intent was palpable.

Luo Feng chuckled.

"My lord is domineering, but I don't think those two have the guts. That old bastard Third Elder has been controlling them with poison for so long, they've been holding back their anger for a long time. Now that they have a chance to break free, they're overjoyed, how could they dare to turn against us?"

"Fatty is right, they won't dare to turn against us unless they want to die," Han Mu nodded.

An hour later, Phantom returned with two people: Ghost Hand and Poison Scorpion.

Ghost Hand was a gaunt old man with hands as black as ink, clearly having cultivated poison skills. Poison Scorpion, on the other hand, was a seductive woman dressed in red with cold, sinister eyes.

"Phantom, is this the kid you're talking about? He can cure the Third Elder's poison." Ghost Hand sized up Han Mu, his eyes filled with suspicion.

"Mid-stage Great Luo Loose Immortal, your cultivation is not bad, but the Third Elder's poison was administered by a late-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal. Are you sure you can cure it?" Poison Scorpion also spoke, his voice hoarse.

"Whether it can be cured or not, we'll find out by trying. But I'm telling you beforehand, I'll cure you, and you must help me destroy the Chaos Array and kill the Third Elder. Those who agree can stay, and those who don't can leave," Han Mu said directly.

Ghost Hand and Poison Scorpion exchanged a glance, and after a moment of silence, Ghost Hand asked.

What are your chances of being able to cure the poison?

"100%".

"Fine, I agree. I'll do anything to cure the poison. That old bastard Third Elder has controlled me for a hundred years, and I've wanted to kill him for a long time," Ghost Hand said through gritted teeth.

"I agree, but I need to see the antidote effect first," Scorpion said.

"Okay, who wants to go first?"

"I'll go first." Ghost Hand stepped forward, extending his pitch-black palm. There was a black mark on his palm, which was the Soul-Devouring Poison Mark planted by the Third Elder.

Han Mu didn't waste any words. He activated the Law of Time and the Time Reversal was activated. The black mark faded at a visible speed and finally disappeared completely.

Ghost Hand felt the relief in his soul and trembled with excitement. After a hundred years, he had finally broken free from control.

"Thank you very much, Senior Han. I, Ghost Hand, am willing to serve you with utmost loyalty."

"It's my turn." Poison Scorpion stepped forward, her venomous mark on her forehead forming a scorpion pattern.

Han Mu followed the same method, reversing time to activate the spell, and the scorpion pattern gradually disappeared.

Poison Scorpion breathed a sigh of relief and bowed gracefully to Han Mu.

"Scorpion is also willing to serve, but the Third Elder is powerful and has three loyal followers, making him difficult to deal with."

"Those three loyalists are yours. I need you to hold them off when the Chaos Array is activated. Don't kill them, just hold them off. Once I've dealt with the Third Elder, I'll come to your aid," Han Mu said.

"We can hold them off, but Blood Fiend, Black Wind, and Dry Bone are all quite strong, all at the late stage of the Great Luo Loose Immortal realm. Even if Poison Scorpion and I join forces, we can only hold off two of them. We still need one more," Ghost Hand said.

"Leave the last one to me, I can hold them off," Phantom said.

"Alright, it's settled then. This is the array diagram of the Chaos Array. Take a look at the areas you are responsible for. Remember, when the array is activated, all seven main array eyes must be destroyed at the same time, otherwise the array will automatically repair itself." Han Mu handed the array diagram to the three of them.

Ghost Hand, Poison Scorpion, and Phantom carefully examined the formation diagram and noted down the areas they were responsible for.

"Senior Han, the Third Elder has deployed heavy troops at the core of the array. In addition to himself, there are thirty-six Heavenly Guards, all of whom are at the peak of the Taiyi Jade Immortal realm. They are not easy to deal with," Ghost said, pointing to a red dot on the array diagram.

"The Thirty-Six Heavenly Guards are the men I entrusted to you. You only need to hold off three loyal followers. After the mission is accomplished, you can divide the Third Elder's treasure equally. I only want one thing," Han Mu said.

"What is that?"

"The fragment of the Key of Time in the hands of the Third Elder."

The three Ghost Hands exchanged glances. Although the fragments of the Key of Time were precious, they were nothing compared to the Third Elder's treasures. This deal was worthwhile.

"make a deal."

Han Mu nodded and looked at Zhou Meng.

"Old Zhou, I'm entrusting the Thirty-Six Heavenly Guards to you and Fatty. Any problems?"

"No problem, just thirty-six peak Taiyi Jade Immortals. Fatty and I can easily handle them together," Zhou Meng said confidently.

"Han Li, you are in charge of setting up the Immortal-Trapping Formation to trap the three loyalists. It won't take too long, just an hour."

"Understood, my lord."

After arranging everything, Han Mu looked at the three Ghost Hands.

"Three days from now, when the Chaos Array is activated, I will engage in a decisive battle with the Third Elder at the core of the array. You will act accordingly. Remember, our goal is to destroy the array and kill the Third Elder. Do not linger in the fight."

"Yes."

After Ghost Hand and the other two left, Han Mu summoned the system panel.

Name: Han Mu

[True Realm: Mid-stage Great Luo Loose Immortal]

[The Law of Time: 100% (Perfection)]

Status: Restored

[Celestial Aura: -500 points]

[System Notification: The mission "Destroy the Chaos Array" is in progress, current progress 50%]

[Quest Reward: Clue to the Fifth Fragment of the Coffin of Origin (Complete)]

[New Mission: Slay the Third Elder (Triggered)]

[Quest Reward: Fourth Fragment of the Key of Time]

Upon seeing the mission reward, Han Mu's eyes lit up: the fourth fragment of the Key of Time. He already had three fragments, and with the fourth one, he would be able to complete half of the set.

"My lord, are Ghost Hand and the other two reliable? What if they turn against us in the face of battle? We'll be in danger," Zhou Meng said worriedly.

"No, I've planted a time imprint in their souls. If they dare to defect, I can annihilate their souls instantly. Besides, they hate the Third Elder to the bone and wish for his death, so they won't defect," Han Mu said.

"That's good. But my lord, the Third Elder is, after all, a late-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal. Are you confident in your abilities?" Han Li asked.

"With the Time Law fully mastered, fighting opponents of higher levels is not a problem. Moreover, I have a trump card. Even if I can't kill him, I can severely injure him. Then, with the help of Ghost Hand and the other two, we can easily clean up the mess," Han Mu said.

"My lord is mighty! That old bastard Third Elder is doomed this time!" Luo Feng grinned.

"Oh, right, Fatty, go prepare something. The Third Elder likes to use poison, so let's prepare a surprise for him too." Han Mu smiled sinisterly.

"What surprise?"

"Mix this into the Third Elder's tea." Han Mu took out a packet of powder and handed it to Luo Feng.

"What is this?"

"The Immortal Transformation Powder is colorless and odorless. Anyone below the Great Luo Golden Immortal level who is poisoned by it will die, and even those above the Great Luo Golden Immortal level will have their strength greatly reduced. Although the Third Elder is a late-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal, he will still suffer a significant loss if poisoned by the Immortal Transformation Powder," Han Mu said.

"Your Excellency is wise. I will take care of it right away." Luo Feng took the Immortal Transformation Powder and left excitedly.

"My lord, isn't this a bit underhanded?" Zhou Meng said awkwardly.

"All's fair in war. When dealing with someone like the Third Elder, no means are too much," Han Mu said calmly.

"Your Majesty is right. The Third Elder's use of poison to control his subordinates is despicable. It is only right that we retaliate in kind," Han Li agreed.

"Alright, everyone go and prepare. The decisive battle against the Chaos Array will take place in three days."
