312: Elixir of longevity

The Martial Saint Emperor also smiled faintly and said, “You’d best pray they’re alright, otherwise, I’ll definitely kill you.”

“Of course…”

The Lin Family Old Ancestor maintained his inviting posture, his tone betraying no hint of anger.

The Martial Saint Emperor slowly walked onto the flying boat.

Wu Mingyue also followed at this moment: “Father Emperor, please allow your daughter to go with you.”

Seeing the determination in Wu Mingyue’s beautiful eyes, the Martial Saint Emperor was about to agree when he received a sound transmission. A moment later, he first cast a meaningful glance at the Lin Family Old Ancestor.

Then he waved his hand at Wu Mingyue: “What? I already said I would personally bring Lin Ye and Lin Yu back. Do you not believe me?”

“This…”

In front of so many people, Wu Mingyue, as the Princess, naturally couldn’t say much.

In the end, she could only nod her head and then moved away from the flying boat.

The Martial Saint Emperor stood on the flying boat. As spiritual power surged, the flying boat ascended into the sky, transforming into a streak of light and disappearing into the horizon.

Empress Wu slowly walked to Wu Mingyue’s side and gently said, “Are you worried about Lin Ye?”

“Mm…”

This time, Wu Mingyue didn’t change the subject or avoid it; she simply nodded her head slightly.

If Wu Mingyue was worried about Lin Ye, how could Empress Wu not be?

“Mingyue, come with me; let’s see what they intend to do!”

Hearing Empress Wu’s words, Wu Mingyue’s beautiful eyes lit up. That’s right, if the Martial Saint Emperor wouldn’t let them go together, couldn’t they just go by themselves?!

As for their location, it was within Martial Dao City anyway, and the flying boat was such a large target that they would quickly find it!

With this thought, Empress Wu and her daughter transformed into streaks of light and vanished from the scene.

The Martial Saint Emperor had already departed, so the succession battle naturally needed to be postponed, and a blazing fire ignited in the hearts of every civil and military official.

It was a time with no outlet for their emotions, and staying here too long would inevitably lead to trouble. After all, the Lin family members were still here.

With this in mind, the minister in charge of presiding over the affairs spoke: “Your Majesty has left early due to urgent matters. The succession matter is temporarily suspended. Everyone, please return.”

Upon hearing this, everyone walked towards the exit. The Imperial Palace was not a place one could linger in casually.

Moreover, the Martial Saint Emperor was not currently in the palace.

Before leaving, all the princes and princesses cast mocking glances at the Ninth Prince.

The Second Prince, who was already at odds with him, even openly ridiculed him: “Imperial Brother, Imperial Brother, it seems your calculations were wrong. It looks like you don’t even have a chance at the Puppet position anymore.”

Facing the Second Prince’s ridicule, the Ninth Prince paid him no heed; his heart was currently filled with fear.

He didn’t understand why his Father Emperor would abandon him at this moment.

It had clearly been agreed that the position of Martial Saint Emperor was his. Without this position, not only would he be unable to marry into the Lin family, but he would likely soon be driven mad by the other princes and princesses!

Even after the new ruler ascended the throne, he would be the first to be targeted.

Also showing fear was the Ninth Prince’s birth mother, Consort Shu; she also didn’t understand why things had turned out this way.

…

Meanwhile, on the flying boat.

The Martial Saint Emperor smiled at the Lin Family Old Ancestor and said, “Tell me, what did you mean by that sound transmission just now?”

Upon hearing this, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in the Lin Family Old Ancestor’s eyes, but it quickly vanished without a trace. He respectfully said, “Martial Saint Emperor, you must be constantly thinking about how to live another life, aren’t you?”

“How about we make a deal?”

“A deal? Heh heh… Do you think I would trust your Lin family?”

The Martial Saint Emperor showed disdain: “Even a tiger won’t eat its cubs, yet the good deeds your Lin family has done are now spread throughout the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.”

“Lin Ye and Lin Yu are your direct descendants, but what happened? For the sake of Lin Ming, you actually dug out both of their Physiques and let them come to the Lower Domain to fend for themselves, and now you even want to kill them.”

“Tsk tsk tsk… Your Chang Sheng Lin Family has nothing trustworthy in my eyes.”

Old fox!

The Lin Family Old Ancestor cursed inwardly.

If the Martial Saint Emperor really didn’t want to make a deal, he wouldn’t have said that; wouldn’t he have just attacked directly?

Currently, the flying boat was wandering freely in the sky, showing no intention of landing. If the Martial Saint Emperor truly wanted to save Lin Ye and Lin Yu, how could he allow himself to waste time here?

He clearly wanted more!

But now was not the time to tear off the masks. Lin Ye and Lin Yu held immense significance for the Lin family.

They could also greatly increase the chances for Lin Ming’s future path to invincibility.

In this situation, paying a little more was worth it.

With this thought, the Lin Family Old Ancestor suppressed his dissatisfaction and smiled at the Martial Saint Emperor: “Martial Saint Emperor, I won’t hide it from you. My Lin family indeed possesses a longevity medicine, and it’s a longevity medicine passed down from ancient times. I believe you understand what this means, don’t you?”

Upon hearing the Lin Family Old Ancestor mention the words “longevity medicine,” a hint of greed flashed in the Martial Saint Emperor’s eyes.

As expected!

The Lin Family Old Ancestor secretly scoffed in his heart.

In this Golden Age, it was not these old fellows who could most easily achieve Dao, but rather the current Prodigies and ancient Prodigies.

After all, the Dao Rhyme on their bodies was young and vibrant.

This was also why all forces, big or small, were cultivating their own successors.

If everyone were like the Martial Saint Emperor, blocking the opportunity to achieve Dao for themselves, what use would those young Prodigies be?

“How am I to believe you?”

Upon hearing the Martial Saint Emperor’s question, the Lin Family Old Ancestor knew that this was a sure thing.

He quickly struck while the iron was hot: “Martial Saint Emperor, as long as you don’t interfere with the matters of Lin Ye and Lin Yu, I guarantee that I will deliver this great longevity medicine into your hands within a few days.”

“Moreover, to ensure my sincerity, I will have the Lin family’s Little Princess temporarily stay in your Wu Dynasty as a hostage. You should also know…”

“I don’t know!”

Before the Lin Family Old Ancestor could finish speaking, the Martial Saint Emperor directly interrupted him: “The world has seen your Lin family’s attitude towards Lin Ye and Lin Yu. What is one Lin Yue’er? She’s not enough as a hostage…”

“…”

The Lin Family Old Ancestor was silent for a moment before speaking again: “Then what if I add myself?”

“My daughter and I, along with all the Lin family members who came to the Lower Domain this time, will all be hostages in your Wu Dynasty! I will have someone else send down that longevity medicine!”

“…”

The Lin Family Old Ancestor’s words did not receive a response from the Martial Saint Emperor.

Seeing this, the Lin Family Old Ancestor gritted his teeth and spoke again: “Longevity medicine plus two Supreme Artifacts, and two complete Supreme Dao! Is that enough?!”

“Hahahahaha!”

The Martial Saint Emperor burst into laughter: “Enough, enough. I truly believe in your Lin family’s sincerity.”

Hearing this, although the Lin Family Old Ancestor felt some anger inwardly, an uncontrollable smile appeared on his face.

Once Lin Ming obtained what was on Lin Ye and Lin Yu, he would truly achieve the path of invincibility!

What was a longevity medicine compared to that?!
