Urban All-Round Master

Chapter 1402: Chapter 1436: The Ancestor of the Mu Family!

”Cough, cough...”

As Mu Liancheng ran, he coughed up blood continuously, and the signs of life began to grow dimmer and dimmer.

Lin Zifeng knew his life force wouldn’t last much longer.

His healing ability could at most extend Mu Liancheng’s life by a few days, but his body had deteriorated and he had lived past a century, which was already a gift.

”Grandfather, how are you feeling?”

After Lin Zifeng halted, Mu Yang anxiously rushed forward to hold her grandfather, afraid that if she let go, her grandfather would leave her forever.

Mu Cangtian, too, was filled with tears, wishing only to revive the Mu Family, but ended up with this outcome.

A single misstep led to another, almost dragging the entire Mu Family down.

”I can’t go on any longer, bringing me along will only drag you down. Leave Dragon City, leave as quickly as possible. The Zhang, Long, and Xiao Families have been wiped out. We can’t protect the Mu Family anymore.”

Mu Liancheng’s cloudy old eyes gazed at the sky. Despite the countless regrets in his heart, at this moment, he was powerless to reverse the course of events.

Dragon City’s great purge happened in just one day, and now only the Mu Family remains. The Zhang Family was also wiped out today by the Nolan Emperor and Ouyang Tian, two outstanding family heads.

Tonight, the Mu Family is destined to be erased from Dragon City.

The three great families likely conspired on this plan for a long, long time...

”Grandfather, I won’t let you die. Right, Zifeng, Zifeng, I know you can save my grandfather, you can heal his injuries. I beg you, I beg you to save my grandfather. I can’t be without him, I can’t lose him...”

Mu Yang almost cried out, shaking Lin Zifeng’s arm nonstop.

But Lin Zifeng’s face remained indifferent, ignoring Mu Yang’s cries and pleas.

Mu Liancheng’s life had reached its end; ultimately, everyone faces death.

Seeing his beloved granddaughter cry like a person made of tears...

Mu Liancheng’s heart couldn’t help but be filled with deep sorrow.

A life always concludes with death.

Even if he hadn’t sustained severe injuries today, his life force wouldn’t last beyond half a month. So Mu Liancheng had come to view life very serenely...

”I’ve run out of oil, the lamp is extinguished, even an immortal descending can’t save me now. My sole concern in life has been for your father and you. Before I die, I hope you and your father live well, live on! That would satisfy me.”

”No!!!”

”I won’t let you die!” Mu Yang desperately clung to her grandfather’s aged, corpse-like body, feeling as if thousands of bloodthirsty insects were gnawing and tearing at her, causing immense pain.

Teardrops as large as beans fell from her eyes. Her beautiful face was streaked with tears.

However, Mu Liancheng’s lips curled into a smile, his deep, hollow eyes conveying appreciation to Lin Zifeng, as if passing on a message.

At that moment, Lin Zifeng’s heart tightened. After finally nodding, Mu Liancheng departed this world with a satisfied smile...

”Grandfather!!!”

”You promised to watch me grow up, promised to see me marry and have children, promised to cradle my children, promised to be the best man at my wedding. Were all these promises lies to Yang’er? Grandfather!!!”

Mu Yang, in agony, clung to Mu Liancheng’s dead body, unwilling to let go.

Mu Liancheng severed his own meridians in suicide, hoping not to burden them.

This act filled Lin Zifeng with the deepest respect for this unfamiliar family patriarch. He sacrificed himself for the well-being of his loved ones. While not a hero or exemplary figure, as a grandfather, Mu Liancheng was worthy!

”Boom~”

Over at the Xiao Family’s estate, a wave of overwhelming energy suddenly erupted. The battle at the family master level spread like a tide, clouding over the fields.

Lin Zifeng suddenly stood up, his dark pupils gazing at the energy wave in the distant sky, knowing that Beiming Yu might have engaged the three family heads.

Although Beiming Yu was strong, facing figures at the family master level from three great families, she, despite her extraordinary abilities, was still just a woman.

”We must leave here!”

Lin Zifeng reached out to pull Mu Yang, whose face was full of sorrow and tears.

”No! I want to stay here with my grandfather!”

Mu Yang was exceptionally stubborn, refusing to leave her grandfather no matter what.

”Grandfather died for us, hoping at his end that we would live well. Do you want to stay here and ruin his intentions?”

Mu Cangtian’s eyes were filled with grief, but logic told him now was not the time to act rashly.

”Father! Can’t we at least take Grandfather’s body?”

Mu Yang’s heart was like a knife twisting, unwilling to leave her grandfather’s body.

”Daughter, I know your heartache is immense, but as her father, do you not think my heart also aches?” Mu Cangtian crouched down, holding his daughter’s shoulders, pressing his forehead against Mu Yang’s face, his facial muscles trembling with sorrow.

”But only by living can we avenge Grandfather, only by living well can we honor his dying wishes. If we die, can Grandfather rest easy? We must live! We must live well, only by surviving can we restore the Mu Family, only then will the late Grandfather not harbor resentment in the netherworld! Mu Liancheng’s name shall be remembered through generations of the Mu Family, ensuring that every descendant knows there’s an ancestor who devoted his life to his family, who sacrificed himself for the survival of the Mu Family. This spirit should be etched into the hearts of all future Mu Family descendants!”

Mu Cangtian’s voice was heavy, rekindling an even stronger desire in Mu Yang to revive their family legacy.

”I must restore the fallen Mu Family. I want every Mu Family descendant to remember the name of their ancestor, ’Mu Liancheng’!”

...

When Shangguan Chong, with a blood-stained War Sword, reached the forest, the clearing was empty except for Mu Liancheng’s cold, lifeless body... Everyone else had vanished.

”Mu Liancheng!”

The Nolan Emperor transformed into a streak of light, rushing over to discover Mu Liancheng’s body, feeling a sudden chill in his heart.

”Old man, you lived over a hundred years. From my grandfather’s generation, I’ve heard of Mu Liancheng’s name. I never imagined that such a distinguished figure would end up in this tragic state today. Time, this thing, can destroy all in the world. It is truly terrifying.”

”Old Mu, who would have thought that despite your glorious life, you would meet such a tragic end in the wilderness. Did you ever foresee this during your most glorious days?”

Shangguan Chong’s lips trembled slightly, looking at Mu Liancheng’s cold corpse lying silently on the ground, a similar sense of bleakness rose in his heart.

Man, ultimately, cannot escape death...
