Shadow Hack

After a long time, Jiao Xiu returned to reality. His expression crumbled apart, and he bellowed, “This is impossible! You are only a branch family descendant, so how could you possibly be recognized by god father and become an ancestor!”

“If you don’t believe me, you can go to the city lord’s mansion and ask god father yourself about whether this is true or not. You should also remember that when you see an ancestor, you should greet him!”

Chen Xiu smiled. When looked at the utterly discomfited Jiao Xiu, his mood became extremely good.

His words were followed by another period of silence.

Jiao Xiu looked at Chen Xiu with cold and gloomy eyes. After being silent for a while, he slowly knelt on the ground and said, “Paying respects to lord ancestor.”

When everyone in the hall saw Jiao Xiu kneeling, they begrudgingly knelt down as well.

“Paying respect to lord ancestor.”

A smiled appeared at the corners of Chen Xiu’s mouth, and he waved his hand indicating for everyone to get up. It was the first time that he was delighted from the bottom of his heart. In a matter of a few days, his whole life and even his fate had completely changed.

And the reason behind all of that was the person who suddenly appeared in the village, his master.

“As one of the four great clans of Asura City, you must remember to give proper respect to your seniors.”

After leaving behind that sentence, Chen Xiu turned around and left the large hall, going straight toward the gate of Morrow Clan. From the moment he joined Asura Clan, he stopped being a member of Morrow Clan. So if he kept residing in the Morrow Clan, it would be a huge joke.

Moreover, once he smacked the face of Jiao Xiu, the gods of Morrow Clan’s Elder Council would be extremely dissatisfied with him. It would make residing in the Morrow Clan even more dangerous. Even if he had become a god, Chen Xiu had a good idea about his strength and that he was no match for the old bastards in Elder Council.

When he left the hall, there was a group of branch family descendants standing at the side with their heads lowered. Only after Chen Xiu disappeared from vision that they raised their heads with all sorts of indignant expressions on their faces.

Discontentment filled their hearts. They were clearly branch family descendants as well, but Chen Xiu’s luck had soared through heaven and he was acknowledged by god father and become an ancestor.

“This Chen Xiu’s luck is very good. If I had gone out of the city on this mission, I also would’ve been able to attract god father’s attention.”

“You are thinking too much. It isn’t as simple as his luck being good.”

“Other than luck, regardless of whether in terms of strength or shrewdness, he can’t compare to me. If his luck wasn’t good, then would he be able to become a god and an ancestor? I don’t believe that.”

In the great hall, the four great elders and Ming Wang looked at Jiao Xiu standing in the middle without daring to even breathe loudly. Jiao Xiu, who had suffered the loss of his son, had wanted to deal with a branch disciple who was like an ant but was thwarted again and again. Even a god would get devastated after something like that.

At that moment, Jiao Xiu looked at the sky outside the main hall thoughtfully.

To become a god and even an ancestor…

Jiao Xiu had anticipated none of that. According to him, even if god father obtained the information he needed, Chen Xiu would be bestowed with an order letter guaranteeing his survival at most. As for using the power of belief to let him become a god instantly, the mere idea of it left him extremely astonished.

But in the end, god father had even adopted him as his son, which was unimaginable. Chen Xiu was only a branch disciple and nothing more, so even if he had obtained the information god father needed, he should not have been accepted as his son. In Asura City, even the patriarchs of the four great clans had to bow their head and salute the sons of Asura.

Chen Xiu’s status was the same as that of the founding ancestors of the four great clans and the city lord.

It was an extremely odd matter, or perhaps god father had some plan in his mind.

Jiao Xiu snapped back to reality and looked at the four elders with expressionless faces before saying in a serene voice, “Ming Wang, follow me to the city lord’s mansion. I want to see the city lord.”

“Yes.”

When Chen Xiu stepped out of Morrow Clan and onto a street of the upper city region, it was as if some burden had been lifted from his heart, and relief filled him. From the time he was born until that moment, it was the first time that he felt so refreshed. He who was born as a branch family descendant, how could he have the qualifications to make everyone in the clan kowtow before him?

In the end, it was all because of master’s assistance.

Just because of the cultivation method passed on by master and the clan treasure Asura Eyes given to him as a present, he was able to dodge Ming Wang’s hunt at the critical time. If he hadn’t had Asura Eyes at that time, then with his cultivation at initial stage of sage flux expert realm, he would have been captured and taken to the mansion where he would have been thrown into spirit prison for the rest of his life. Unlike at that moment, when he had become Ancient God Asura’s son and a genuine god.

Chen Xiu released his divine presence to scan his surroundings, but couldn’t sense the presence of master or mistress in the upper city region. After that, he extended it to the middle city region, and finally, in the beast colosseum, he sensed the presence of the two people. He retrieved his divine presence then and casually advanced toward the beast colosseum in the middle city region.

The instant Chen Xiu arrived there, Jiao Xiu got close to the city lord’s mansion with Ming Wang following behind him. When the two of them arrived in the city lord’s mansion, the entrance was already wide open.

A maid wearing extravagant clothes was standing at the door, respectfully waiting for them. When she saw Jiao Xiu and Ming Wang, a smile appeared on her lips.

She slightly bowed and said, “Morrow Clan’s patriarch, the city lord has been waiting for you to come for a long time and sent me to wait here.”

After saying that, the maid led the two people to a side room. Once they entered, they saw the city lord sitting in the main position with his big belly revealed and holding a cup of tea in his hand while sipping contendfully.

“Paying respects to the city lord.”

Jiao Xiu bowed and saluted him, then sat down on a red mahogany chair on the right side with Ming Wang standing behind him.

After he sat down, no one said anything. The city lord kept sipping tea casually while Jiao Xiu kept looking in front of him in a daze. The entire side chamber was dreadfully silent, to the point that even a pin dropping could be heard from one corner to another.

After a moment, Ashbi placed down the cup in his hand and looked at Jiao Xiu, who had a grave expression on his face. Then he slowly said, “Why did you come today? If it had been usual times, then you couldn’t take even half a step inside my mansion.”

Jiao Xiu returned to reality and looked at Ashbi sitting at the main seat with cold smile on his face. “City Lord, I want to ask you something. Your respected self doesn’t know the purpose of my coming yet you already had a maid waiting for me at the door. Is it possible that while I was rushing over, you coincidentally scanned the entire upper city region with your divine presence?”

After experts cultivated to the great circle sage flux expert realm, they could use divine presence to scan their surroundings and sense anything happening around them. After becoming gods, their divine presence became even more potent and could cover the entire Asura City. But no god was so idle as to concentrate his divine presence to scan Asura City.

Besides, gods could not casually use divine presence to investigate the upper city. It only had the four clans as well as the city lord’s mansion, and every region had its secrets, so even gods couldn’t use their divine presence to cover the entire upper city. Only Ancient God Asura had such privilege, but he wouldn’t be so idle.

Ashbi laughed but didn’t say anything.
