“Do you think that I am excessively coldblooded?”

Asura stood up and walked to stand shoulder to shoulder with Li Yunmu.

Li Yunmu snapped back to reality, flabbergasted in his heart over why Asura was asking this type of question. Could he not decide himself whether he was coldblooded or not?

“Those siblings joined hands to resist so god father killing them is an ordinary matter. One must have an understanding of oneself to ensure their survival in this world. If one doesn’t have a clear idea of what they’re capable, they will find it difficult to avoid death.

“Those siblings of mine didn’t have a good grasp of their own abilities, so they died. They should’ve been clear about what they were trying to do and what was their position. Exceeding that isn’t good,” Li Yunmu said with a calm expression.

Asura sneered after hearing that and asked with a calm smile, “So you do understand it. But if you understand this, why did you fight against Ming Wang and rush to the city lord’s mansion to find a chance at living? At that time, if I hadn’t raised your strength to god level and given you the position of ancestor, you would’ve died for sure.”

“Having an understanding of oneself does not mean that one should not gamble. As long as there’s a chance at surviving, I will naturally stake my all for advancement. Otherwise, there’s no need to die.”

“Well said. Old sixth, you are an intelligent person and have reached the powerful position today from nothing. You should know that as long as you aren’t disloyal, you can live eternally in Asura City with only me standing above you. Although the five ancient gods have been forced into retreat by me, the battle between us will still continue.”

After saying that, Asura paused for a moment before continuing. “After experiencing this battle, the other ancient gods will know that my strength is at the peak while they are injured. But I don’t have full certainty that I’ll win against the five of them and Ancient God Lakshmi.”

Li Yunmu nodded, feeling overjoyed in his heart. Within one day, the situation in Asura City underwent an enormous change. Originally, the city lord’s mansion and the four great clans controlled Asura City, but the four ancestors rebelled and died, so the four great clans will naturally fall out of favor.

The city lord Ashbi had also participated in stealing the power of belief, but he hadn’t used it to break through into ancient god realm. This meant that Asura would not kill him, but he would probably be deprived of his authority. After experiencing this matter, Asura definitely would not entrust the responsibility of the entire city to one person.

In the future, Chen Xiu and Ashbi would be the most majestic people in tAsura City, representing the two factions of direct descendants and branch family descendants who would divide the authority of Asura City evenly among themselves.

With the control of half of Asura City under him, Li Yunmu could provoke the battle between gods using his authority and force the gods of Lanlou to fight among themselves. Without them to inconvenience him, he could then easily run to the divine palace and search for the treasure he needed.

“What does god father want me to do?” Li Yunmu asked while feigning a feverish expression.

Asura took note of his excitement and said with a smile, “Naturally I want you and Ashbi to jointly manage Asura City. One of you will represent the direct descendants while the other will represent branch family descendants.

“The two of you will then perfectly counter each other. Naturally the counter I speak of means positive competition. Before the five ancient gods come out, the battle of gods will be fought under your command.”

“Yes, god father,” Li Yunmu said respectfully.

Asura nodded, and his figure quickly faded out of vision.

Li Yunmu turned around and proceeded toward the colosseum in the middle city. When he had gone to the city lord’s mansion, Brunhilda and the two fighters of the colosseum recruited by him stayed to fight for him in the colosseum. Since Asura had passed him half the authority of Asura City , he had to do something with it, or he would be letting himself down.

Li Yunmu walked to the entrance of the colosseum, and the guards resting on the ground stood up with a jump.

“R-respectful gree-greetings god,” they stammered out.

Without paying any attention to them, Li Yunmu went to the four-story building. After his figure disappeared within it, the guards heaved a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat off their foreheads.

“Fortunately he didn’t find us to settle the debts.”

In a room within the four-story building, Brunhilda was eating a fruit and watching the two fighters whom they had recruited with interest.

“Tell me, will we be executed or not? That lord god has been gone for so long and has yet to return. Do you think that he has already… Hey, you should’ve also sensed that formidable presence just now.”

Old bastard with his robust stature swayed the iron hammer in his hand while speaking with a frown.

Rat, who had been standing by his side, did not reply and just rolled his eyes. He continued leaning against the wall with a calm expression.

“Hey, rat, I’m speaking to you. Why aren’t you replying? Tell me, should we run away? Right, girl, you should also run away with us. That lord god went against the four great clans, so I fear that if we don’t run right now, we won’t get another chance.”

A hint of panic appeared in the eyes of old bastard when he spoke about the four great clans. Up until then, he couldn’t understand where he had gotten the courage to throw the three young masters onto the arena. If he was caught, he would definitely be flayed. When he thought about that, he picked up the hammer and began to pull rat’s hand.

Rat threw off old bastard’s hand and said with shock, “Hey, hey, wait a minute. How can your brain be so small compared to your strength? You need to stop now.

“If lord god wasn’t going to return, how could this girl sit here so calmly? Old bastard, stop it and calmly wait for lord god to return.”

Rat looked at Brunhilda sitting on the chair and his eyes narrowed like those of a rat.

Brunhilda was smiling while looking at the two people with completely different behaviour. Their antics made her want to laugh more and more She had lived like a princess from childhood, so whoever she met would always be respectful toward her. Who would dare to act in this manner in front of her? It was really interesting.

“Who told you that I am done for?”

At this time, a calm man entered the room. His voice brought excitement to the faces of rat and old bastard.

Finally, the person they had been waiting for had arrived. Both of them had come to the colosseum for exactly that moment, when they would be valued by some lord of the upper city and be able to walk out of the lower city.

The two men turned toward Li Yunmu and instantly knelt down on the ground before respectfully saying, “Respectful greetings, lord.”

Li Yunmu walked to Brunhilda’s side, then looked at the two of them and said with an earnest expression, “Stand up, it seems like the two of you have grown anxious while waiting. You finished your previous mission perfectly though, so I am very satisfied. What rewards do you want now?”

Old bastard slightly creased his eyebrows before shifting his gaze to rat. When rat heard what Li Yunmu said, he became excited and looked over at him with his rat-like eyes.

“Can we really demand anything we want? Lord would not take back his words, right?” he probed.

“Speak, whatever reward you want, if I can make it a reality, I will definitely not go back on my word.”
