Within an enormous tree outside Pipa Clan, Brunhilda looked at Li Yunmu holding the petite Liu Bailing in the plaza of the village. Her expression was indifferent, but she suddenly stretched her hand, putting it at Li Yunmu’s back, and ruthless pinching it.
Li Yunmu instantly woke up from the meditative state and glared at Brunhilda while suspiciously saying, “Little Bu, what the hell are you doing!”
“You still dare to ask me what is going on! On the contrary, it is my turn to ask you that question! Your shadow is tightly holding Pipa Clan’s holy daughter in his bosom without letting go! Have you become so unbridaled that you even dare to do so in front of your wife?”
Brunhilda frowned, releasing divine power through the hand pinching Li Yunmu’s waist and strengthening her grip.
Li Yunmu felt guilty, but he revealed an ignorant expression and anxiously said, “Wait, wait, you don’t need to take out young anger on my shadow’s actions on me. If you want to blame someone, then go find trouble with that shadow.”
After saying that, Li Yunmu immediately used Insect Step to run away, leaving behind afterimages in the sky. Brunhilda coldly snorted and then chased after him.
“If you have ability, then don’t run.”
On the plaza, Li Yunmu, who was holding Liu Bailing, was slightly startled, but soon a smile appeared on his face. The holy daughters became suspicious of it, and Yunfeng frowned, then coughed and said, “Brazen thief, you still dare to lie!”
Before her words could fade away, Li Yunmu snapped back to attention and slowly said, “Why would I lie?”
Li Yunmu released Liu Bailing from his embrace, then stepped forward and punched the air with both his hands. The holy daughters, despite their vigilance, sustained a heavy attack and fell a few meters back.
“This punch is the interest for attacking my subordinate.”
Li Yunmu withdrew his punch and then turned toward Chen Xiu lying on the lawn outside the room. “Alright, you’ve had enough sleep.”
As soon as he said that, the motionless Chen Xiu stood up and bowed toward Li Yunmu while saying with a smile, “Master, you finally came out.”
Chen Xiu’s smile was not because he was embarrassed for being seen through by Li Yunmu. If he had crawled back from the ground and faced the attacks of the four holy daughters, he would have been courting death. In such a situation, feigning unconsciousness was also considered as an ability.
Li Yunmu nodded and said to the system in his brain, “You should draw out Chen Xiu’s memories and project a vision in the sky.”
The system did not reply, but directly formed a black beetle which flew above Chen Xiu’s head. A ray of light shot out from its back, forming a screen in the sky. On it, the scene of Asura City’s people massacring mortals appeared, then it changed to the four young masters fighting over Pipa Clan’s children.
The holy daughters, who were blown away by the attack, looked at the screen in stupefaction, even forgetting about the blood flowing down the corners of their mouths. Neither of them had expected that the people of Asura City would go on a rampage in the territory of Lakshmi City.
Ever since they had become the holy daughters, the territories of the seven ancient gods had remained peaceful. People from the territory of one ancient god simply did not dare to casually step into the territory of another ancient god, let alone brazenly massacre mortals of other territories in broad daylight.
The holy daughters residing in Lakshmi City had not sensed anything, and their expressions changed. If it were not for the crisis of Pipa Clan, it was likely that they would have only sensed something was wrong after countless more mortals had been slaughtered. Suddenly, terrifying fear gripped their hearts.
Although Ancient God Lakshmi did not absorb power of belief, the number of mortals in every territory was fixed. If any of the ancient gods kidnapped mortals of other regions, their strength would be greatly amplified. The subtle balance existing between the seven ancient gods would instantly be broken, and the entire Lanlou would be caught in a fight over power of belief once more.
The black beetle flew away from Chen Xiu’s head and entered Li Yunmu’s head, disappearing there. The sky became peaceful, and the entire Pipa Clan sunk into grief, while the holy daughters entered contemplation.
In the meantime, Chen Xiu did not dare to even breathe loudly. After all, the scenes just then contained him massacring mortals.
If the four holy daughters thought of making a sacrifice for the departed spirits, how would he escape such a calamity?
While thinking of that, Chen Xiu retreated a few steps, walking behind Li Yunmu, where he lowered his head without making any sound.
“Now you should be convinced. At normal times, which ancient god would dare to do such a thing? Only when something has happened to an ancient god, would the other ancient gods be tempted. Without Ancient God Lakshmi, even if you all of you are gods of the twelve music clans, you will be reduced to the position of slaves.”
The group of holy daughters did not reply for a time. After a while, Feng Ren raised her head to look at Li Yunmu and slowly said, “If Ancient God Lakshmi has perished, then what are you, a god of unknown origins, trying to do? Asura’s plans can be understood, but what exactly are you intentions?”
“I can’t stand injustice. I helped retain the soul of your Ancient God Lakshmi, so you holy daughters should be grateful to me and not attack me,” Li Yunmu said while smiling.
Yunfeng coldly snorted at him. “Your distinguished self is really kindhearted. Even as a god from outside, you still rushed to Lanlou to assist our ancient goddess. Truthfully speaking, even if only a part of Ancient God Lakshmi remains, there’s no need for you rescue her. She is an innate ancient goddess while you are at most the same as us, only a god and nothing more.”
Li Yunmu smiled, then a demonic presence erupted from his body, which became more and more formidable. It almost instantly reached the level of an ancient god before disappearing. The minds of Yunfeng and the other holy daughters were assaulted by the formidable presence, and their expressions turned gloomy.
“Now you should believe me. Lakshmi whom you serve is an ancient goddess, and I am also an ancient god, so why should I not have the ability to rescue her?”
Yunfeng looked at the unconscious Liu Bailing, then slowly stood up from the ground and saluted Li Yunmu, showing her respect. She who wouldn’t believe anything previously was instantly convinced of Li Yunmu’s words after seeing his strength. Even if he had only revealed the presence of an ancient god and had not exposed the characteristic specific to an ancient god, she was still convinced.
His strength was simply formidable. He had easily injured four holy daughters with a wave of his hand, which was impossible to do unless he was an ancient god.
The other three holy daughters saw Yunfeng’s actions and gradually stood up as well. They bowed and properly saluted, showing their respect.
Yunfeng looked at Li Yunmu, then respectfully said, “I don’t know whether lord ancient god has already brought Ancient God Lakshmi back to life. If ancient goddess has already been rescued, then we request to have audience with her so that she can explain the situation to us and give us commands. This way, we holy daughters will know what to do.”
