Panda Novel

The descendants of the four clans revealed a hint of fear on their faces after sensing the presence of twenty gods near them. Although the four clans had many gods, apart from the few who appeared in the residence, the majority of them would enter the Elder Council after becoming gods and wouldn’t come out unless it was an important matter.

So when everyone saw twenty gods appear all of a sudden, all descendants panicked. Even the direct descendants, who always acted arrogantly, turned pale upon seeing twenty of their clan’s gods and lowered their heads.

In the main hall, Jiao Xiu looked at the black-robed god standing opposite to him and muttered, “Let’s go!”

The moment he said that, Jiao Xiu and the twenty gods disappeared without a trace. Only the half god Ming Wang remained standing on the ground. He heaved a sigh of relief and turned away to leave.

The four clans had dispatched a total of sixty gods. Together with the four patriarchs, it made for a total of sixty-four gods. Asura happened to be in seclusion, but no one dared to go out of the city with a swagger. All of them concealed their divine presence.

After a moment, on a path a hundred meters away from Asura City, one after another, human silhouettes appeared. Under the lead of the four patriarchs, they advanced toward the ore mountain.

A hundred kilometers away from the four clan patriarchs, Li Yunmu was collecting the mortal villages. All along the path, the Asura City’s territory was full of holes.

In the narrow path among the woods, Li Yunmu was walking with a satisfied expression when the system’s voice resounded in his brain.

[Sixty-four gods are coming from the front, and you don’t seem a little bit nervous.]

Li Yunmu glanced in the direction from which the four clan patriarchs were coming and said with a faint smile, “What’s there to be nervous about?. They are just sixty-four gods. If I used my full strength, it would end in a few breaths.

“But the battle of gods hasn’t begun yet, and I haven’t returned to Asura City to investigate the other power from beyond the heavens, so I cannot use my full strength so casually.”

Even if he didn’t use demonic transformation or the dark state, which were two pinnacle techniques, Li Yunmu’s strength was still in the ancient god realm.

Above the god realm, every thread of disparity was enormous. Not to mention, the difference between two whole realms. Such a disparity couldn’t be supplemented by numbers. Even if the injured five gods had to deal with the sixty-four gods, it wouldn’t be a major task for them. Then what could be said about Li Yunmu, who was in his peak state? If he wanted to exterminate the sixty-four gods, it would be extremely easy.

He had come to Lanlou in order to get his hands on the Heavenly Grand Ritual to break the dragon lady and his daughter’s curse of short lives. Right then, he had already obtained Heavenly Grand Ritual, but an even more important matter came to light. He needed to find the power from beyond the heavens colluding with Asura and uproot it. He also needed to start the battle of gods, since it was about the time all of them fell.

[If you erupt with ancient god realm’s cultivation, then based on the distance to Asura City, Asura will sense you. You will be exposed and the battle of gods will start. The five ancient gods and Asura will join hands to deal with you. That means that you can’t release your full strength, so how will you deal with the sixty-four gods,] the system asked with a carefree smile.

The system’s words were completely correct. Although Li Yunmu had stolen the Heavenly Grand Ritual, the five ancient gods had pointed their lances toward Asura and even allied with Lakshmi City in campaign against him. If Li Yunmu was discovered at this juncture, then the five ancient gods would realize what had happened and sense that there were many problems with the matter regarding Heavenly Grand Ritual.

So he could not reveal his full strength.

Despite that, a smile appeared at the corner of his lips. Could it be that he wouldn’t be able to deal with the sixty-four gods without revealing his full strength? Not necessarily!

Li Yunmu rolled a divine jade tile in his hand and infused it with a thread of divine power. Ripples then emerge on the surface.

Brunhilda’s voice came through the divine jade tile. “Yunmu, why are you looking for me at this time? If it isn’t anything important,then I will talk to you later. Lakshmi City is preparing for war now.”

“Naturally I need something. How long will the preparations for battle take? The four clan patriarchs of Asura City together with sixty gods are heading over here looking for me. I cannot reveal my strength, so I can only borrow your influence to scare them,” Li Yunmu said.

Just as he finished speaking, Brunhilda’s voice came through the divine jade tile. “You delay them for a while, our Lakshmi City’s gods will quickly set for Asura City,” she said in an icy tone.

Li Yunmu nodded and put the divine jade tile back into his heavenly world.

“Did you see, wasn’t this matter also settled properly!” he mumbled.

System:

“…”

The system was left speechless. It had believed that Li Yunmu had thought of something it hadn’t, but it hadn’t expected that Li Yunmu would just borrow the influence of the five ancient gods and Lakshmi City. As long as the troops of Lakshmi City and the five ancient gods charged over, the four clan patriarchs and their sixty gods wouldn’t last long.

Li Yunmu was only afraid that once the four clan patriarchs saw the grand army of gods, they would immediately return to Asura City.

After a moment, the system said a single sentence. [Your method is really perfect!]

Li Yunmu collected every village he encountered on the path.

Ahead of him, the four clan patriarchs and the sixty gods were moving at a brisk pace, crossing several meters with each step. The distance between the two sides was quickly decreasing.

Just when Li Yunmu placed another village into the heavenly world, the four clan patriarchs and sixty gods rushed over.

“I hadn’t thought that the sixth ancestor would be in such a good mood while on the return journey from the ore mountain. Is he trying to delay the time of his death?” Deva Clan’s matriarch said with a light smile. Her figure moved as she unleashed the charming technique without anyone noticing it.

A smile remained on Li Yunmu’s face, and he said without any timidness, “While returning from the resource land, I was getting bored, so I wanted to enjoy the scenery. I’m not like the four clan patriarchs moving in such a hurry with so many elders. It feel like you are going to a market.”

The moment he said that, the expressions of the four clan patriarchs turned somewhat dark as they looked at Li Yunmu. Jiao Xiu clasped his hands behind his back and said in a calm voice, “Does sixth ancestor not understand what exactly the four of us came here to do with such great fanfare?”

“Don’t you want to kill me? I am only a false god, but you all are so hostile toward me. What’s up, are you all afraid that Ground Clan is going to surpass your four great clans?”

Li Yunmu then put on a regretful face and said, “I know, the strength of your four great clans isn’t much. You dispatched fifteen gods who couldn’t beat even a single false god.”

Upon hearing the mention of fifteen gods, the expressions of the four clan patriarchs turned gloomy. If it were not for god father bestowing a world fragment to him and the fifteen gods being arrogant and entering it, how could they have been subdued so easily?

Like an enormous mountain, Rahu Clan’s patriarch waved his palm-leaf-sized large hand and said with savageness, “Talk less nonsense, sixth ancestor. Since you are the sixth son of god father, we four clans want to give you a choice. You can choose how you want to die, and we will do it that way.”
