Chapter 875: Prodigal

The four clan patriarchs looked at Li Yunmu with serene expressions. From the time they entered the gate, they hadn’t even glanced at Luo Jue, who was at his last breath, as if he wasn’t a direct descendant of the four great clans.

Only a middle-aged and seemingly strong man standing behind the patriarchs walked to the front, looked at Luo Jue whose body was covered in blood, and a hint of sorrow appeared on his face. That middle-aged man kept looking for a long time, then his gaze turned to Li Yunmu and unmasked killing intent appeared in his eyes.

“Sixth ancestor, this old man Luo Shen is an elder of Rahu Clan. I want to ask you, what exactly was the mistake that my son Luo Jue did for which you punished him like this?”

Li Yunmu looked at Luo Shen, who had the appearance of a middle-aged man, saw the divine power bubbling forth on his hands, and said with a faint smile, “What mistake did Luo Jue make, you as his father, don’t know? The four great clans don’t know? If you don’t know, then why are you twenty-something gods doing by rushing over here?”

Jiao Xiu, who stood at the front, looked at Li Yunmu with a smile on his face. “Just a moment ago, we sensed the birth of two new gods in the territory of Ground Clan, so we brought some gods over to congratulate. After all, we all belong to Asura City, so we would be meeting regularly. I hadn’t expected that sixth ancestor would be so willing…”

Before he could finish speaking, Jiao Xiu looked at Rat and Old Bastard standing behind Li Yunmu, and his heart lurched to a stop. They had come for the direct descendant of Rahu Clan, but who could have expected that just as they entered the Ground Clan’s territory, they would sense the presence of two new gods.

This caused the hearts of the four patriarchs to tighten. A suspicion appeared in their hearts. Had Li Yunmu really bestowed the power of belief to others and made them gods?

After arriving, Jiao Xiu looked at Rat and recalled that he was the small servant who had previously rushed into the room. In a short time, the lowly servant had become a god from a mortal. The power of belief required to accomplish this would be one portion.

Then, Jiao Xiu looked at Old Bastard, who had an honest appearance and sturdy body. Jiao Xiu’s heart began to spasm after examining him. Creating the two gods would have required at least two portions of power of belief.

That was the amount previously received by an entire clan when the authority of Asura City was in the hands of the four clans. And even then, one of the two portions had to be offered to the ancestor.

Ancestors only obtained one portion, but the prodigal son had used two of them on mortals.

He was simply a… wastrel.

“Why would I be reluctant? My Ground Clan isn’t like your clans, dividing descendants between direct and branch family ones. You then give all the resources to direct descendants, resulting in the birth of scum like this one. My Ground Clan’s descendants only need to work properly and contribute, then what is this power of belief even regarded as?” Li Yunmu indifferently said. Each of his words was filled with criticism toward the four great clans.

Instead of being afraid of the anger of the four clans, he was provoking them to create a disturbance. He only feared the four clan patriarchs keeping their calm.

Once he said all that, madam and Do Mingyan standing by Li Yunmu’s side calmed down. Just a moment ago, when twenty gods had descended, they were so scared that their bodies were covered in cold sweat.

God realm was something that they yearned for even in their dreams, but all of a sudden, twenty of them had appeared in front of them.

Deva Clan’s matriarch’s figure swayed like wind when she came to Li Yunmu with graceful steps. She placed her hand on her mouth, which was covered by a veil, and said with a faint smile., “Sixth ancestor, your words aren’t correct. Ground Clan has the rules of Ground Clan, so naturally the four great clans will have their own rules.

“The Ground Clan may not differentiate its descendants, but classification is very clear in the four great clans. The four great clans have numerous descendants. If each of them wanted to become a god, where would we get that amount of power of belief necessary? Moreover, if the descendants with pure bloodline and descendants with motley bloodline were treated on the same scale, then the entire Asura City would be thrown into a mess.”

After saying that, her phoenix-like gaze turned toward madam and her tone instantly became cold. “You are a descendant of Deva CLan but haven’t returned to the clan and came here to have fun. Previously, we dispatched an envoy asking you to return to the clan, but you still didn’t move. After returning to the clan, we will slowly discuss this matter.”

After saying that, a profound divine pressure erupted from Deva Clan’s matriarch and rushed to attack madam. That divine pressure was five to six times more powerful than that of Rat and Old Bastard. It was like the difference between chicken’s egg and a pebble.

Before the divine pressure reached madam, Li Yunmu stretched his hand to obstruct it, and the divine pressure immediately scattered as if it had knocked into an invisible wall. Standing beside him, madam heaved a sigh of relief. If the divine pressure had reached her, she would have immediately suffered injuries.

“This madam has separated herself from Deva Clan and is now a descendant of Ground Clan. You can’t do anything to her, yet you still dared to attack her in front of an ancestor. You really have great guts!”

Li Yunmu lowered his hand and flung a weak divine pressure toward Deva Clan’s matriarch, returning politeness with politeness.

That divine pressure wavered like an old man with incurable disease and flew very slowly.

The patriarchs of the three other clans looked at the weak divine presence and didn’t pay it any attention. The three of them looked down on Li Yunmu. His power was as expected of an ancestor who had become a god by using power of belief; his divine presence attack was surprisingly weak. It was clear that the strength of his soul wasn’t able to keep up with his cultivation.

Previously, when he had fought the four patriarchs at the colosseum, it was completely by relying on the cultivation method imparted by godfather.

Deva Clan’s matriarch looked at the divine presence attack slowly drifting toward her, and a mocking smile appeared on her face under the veil. Even if she did not stop such a weak divine presence, it would at most feel like a tickle. She casually extended her lotus-like left hand to shatter this divine presence before her.

The instant she extended her hand, the weak divine presence attack seemed to have received some sort of boost. Its speed amplified and it pounced forward like a mad dog. It stuck to the palm of matriarch and exploded with great power.

Bang, bang, bang!

After three loud echoes, Deva Clan’s matriarch’s lily white hand was turned completely black as if it was poisoned. Before she could react, the divine presence stuck on her ruptured. It contained a hint of demonic presence, and it infiltrated her hand.

Her divine might erupted within her body, and her divine energy began to circulate, directly advancing toward the poisoned hand. Within an instant, the infiltrating demonic presence was forced out by an all out attack of the divine energy and scattered in the air.

Deva Clan’s matriarch looked at her little white left hand which had recovered its original appearance, and her eyes grew hard. “Sixth ancestor, you surprisingly used such a sneak attack. Why?”

When she spoke, her tone was filled with a hint of vigilance. After the weak divine presence exploded just a moment ago, it contained a hint of demonic energy which was both hidden and nefarious. Fortunately, it contained only a hint of it. If there had been more, she probably would have sustained some injuries.

The demonic presence had definitely been produced because of a cultivation method imparted by god father. When she thought of that, the slight disdain in her heart disappeared without any trace, and only vigilance remained in her heart.

As the matriarch of one of the four great clans, she had cultivated by herself to reach half god realm before using power of belief to become a god and could be considered as one of the highest existences among the gods.
