Chapter 814: Asura

When Chen Xiu heard the words ‘Asura City, his body shuddered all of a sudden. He hastily knelt on the ground in front of Li Yunmu and anxiously said, “Master, do you intend to abandon me? Did this little me do something wrong?”

When Li Yunmu, who was in pain because Brunhilda had grabbed his waist, saw Chen Xiu’s actions, he was somewhat stupefied and stayed silent for a long time. After a while though, he waved his hand.

“You did nothing wrong. I simply agreed to ally with Ancient God Lakshmi and help her deal with Asura so we can retrieve her divine body and soul. So in the trip to Asura City, we will follow behind you as your subordinates.”

When Chen Xiu heard the first half of the sentence, he sighed, but when he heard the second half, his heartbeat suddenly quickened. The ancient gods were going to act as his subordinates, so if he made the slightest mistake, his entire existence might be erased. After all, they were both ancient gods, and there was no way for him to refuse the matter.

“This little me understands,” Chen Xiu said and went to stand respectfully behind the two people.

Before him, Brunhilda pinched Li Yunmu’s waist ever harder and said with a frown, “Helping an ancient goddess retrieve her body and soul… Why don’t you speak truthfully instead? Isn’t it all for that holy daughter of Pipa Clan!”

Li Yunmu frowned, then hastily said, “Little Bu, quickly let go of me. I’m helping the ancient goddess not only for Liu Bailing but to obtain the Heavenly Grand Ritual. If we help Lakshmi , we will naturally also get our hands on Heavenly Grand Ritual without needing to use force. Isn’t that better?”

“Really?”

Brunhilda looked at Li Yunmu and saw that he didn’t seem to be lying. She then pulled away her lily white hand and placed it on his arm before softly saying, “Then we don’t need to pretend to be Chen Xiu’s subordinates and can easily find a corner to stay in Asura City.”

Chen Xiu looked at Brunhilda’s figure with excitement welling up in his heart. He really hoped that Li Yunmu would agree. If the two ancient gods acted as his subordinates, then even if they were pretending, it would still place enormous pressure on Chen Xiu.

Li Yunmu pulled Brunhilda close and explained his thoughts. “That won’t do. If we casually found a place to stay, we could not go to many places without alarming Asura. Although Chen Xiu is a descendant of a branch family, for better or worse, he is still considered as nobility. His authority in Asura City is much higher than that of mortals.”

Upon hearing his words, Brunhilda nodded and indifferently said, “Since this is the case, we will act as Chen Xiu’s subordinates. Speaking of which, I still haven’t seen any great clans until now. I must take a trip around Asura City.”

Brunhilda was the princess of the Land of Ice and an ancient god level powerhouse, so everyone she came in contact with was a high level expert. How could she know about something as low as clans?

“Well then, we will start on our trip to Asura City.”

After finishing their conversation, they sat down on the fierce tiger and began to advance towards Asura City with a frowning Chen Xiu following behind them.

While traveling through the jungle, the three of them heard the sounds of Asura City’s people engaging in wanton massacre of Lakshmi City’s villages as well as the miserable wails of mortals. A pensive melody followed that, and then everything returned to quiet all of a sudden.

Yunfeng and the other holy daughters had taken action very quickly. After returning to Lakshmi City, they made proper arrangements in regards to all matters.

First, they gathered the descendants of the twelve music clans and dispatched them to deal with the people of Asura City attacking their mortals. After that, they gathered the power of belief in all the weapons in one place, quickly concentrating it in the jade pipa.

After three days, a five-colored light blossomed out of Lakshmi City, pervading through the sky for a long time without dispersing. A formidable ancient god presence also appeared in a brazen manner, attracting the attention of the divine palace and startling the five injured ancient gods.

In the Asura City, Ancient God Asura also sensed that extremely familiar presence.

Asura City was like an enormous skeleton lying on the ground with its edges composed of an enormous circular wall. In the city, the lowest level mixed races and mortals lived near the edges and at the bottom. Above them, there was a region where the powerful and rich people lived, while the majority of upper skeleton was the territory of the four great clans.

As for the skull part, it was the mansion of the city lord. In a room formed of the head and eyes, what seemed to be a twenty year old youngster with black hair was reclining on a leather chair while holding a crystal goblet in his hand and slowly swaying it. Before him, a two-headed, three-armed middle-aged man wearing fancy clothes was kneeling.

“God father, Rahu Clan’s young master has returned with the group of children releasing multi-colored light. They all belong to the Pipa Clan. Right now, Luo Tian is waiting at the entrance. Do you want to see him?” the middle-aged man asked respectfully.

The black-haired youth sighed, then put down his goblet and went to a glass window nearby to look at the sky and said in a profound voice, “No need, let him return. As for those Pipa Clan’s children, imprison them in the city lord’s mansion for now. We’ll deal with them later.”

“Yes!”

After saying that, the middle-aged man’s expression tightened, and he immediately retreated.

The luxurious room sunk into silence once more. The black-haired youth gazed at the ancient god presence in the distance, then changed into his original appearance, which had three heads and six arms. A ruthless smile appeared on his three faces and he muttered to himself.

“Lakshmi, only a part of your soul remains, but you are still so restless. Truly disobedient.”

Asura calmed down then and reclined on the leather chair once more while slowly swaying the crystal goblet in his hand. He pondered over Lakshmi’s intent behind releasing her presence.

It was a fact that the majority of her soul had already been devoured. Only a small part had fled into the lower realms to possess a mortal. Mortals did not have cultivation, so she could not use the power of belief to strengthen herself. And if she wanted to possess a flux expert under god realm, it would require a lot of time.

Then how could she possess a body and recover her original cultivation in such a short time?

Could it be that Lakshmi had also began to congeal power of belief to cultivate like their elder brothers?

The smile on Asura’s face became even wider, which could terrify anyone under the illumination of a faint light.

“In any case, you shouldn’t even think about obstructing me in becoming a master god.”

Asura mumbled to himself, then lifted one of his free hands, and a dark flame appeared on his palm. The presence he emitted rose above the level of ancient gods and to just below master gods.

At that moment, the five startled ancient gods descended from the divine palace into Lakshmi City to search for the ancient goddess.

In the meantime, the two-headed three-armed middle-aged man’s expression in Asura City was ice-cold. He slowly walked to the mouth part of the skeleton and a magnificent hall where Luo Tian was sitting.
