Chapter 843: Private Discussion

The denseness made it feel like the gravity had been increased countless times and like even time had slowed down. A figure appeared in front of the four patriarchs in space, waved its hand, and the four patriarchs were thrown down into the arena like kites whose strings were cut.
One after another, four figures crashed into the ground with a loud noise like bullets.
Immediately after that, the figure moved his hand, and the divine techniques advancing toward Li Yunmu disappeared as if they had never existed. After that, the entire place recovered its original appearance and the audience no longer felt powerless as if they were caught in a marsh.
Under the bright sunshine, the figure became clear. It had three heads and six arms, wore a white gown, and had delicate skin like a twenty year old.
Li Yunmu looked at him and slightly bent down in the air, “I pay my respects to god father.”
When the descendants in the spectator stand saw Asura, excitement immediately appeared on their faces. They immediately stood up from their chairs and knelt on the ground with their foreheads directly touching the ground. A bright and clear noise resounded in the entire colosseum.
“Paying respects to god father!”
In the arena, fear appeared on the faces of the three young masters and four great elders who also knelt down to pay their respects. The four clan patriarchs crawled out of the pit with pale faces and also paid their respects with a line of blood coming out of the corner of their mouth.
Asura expressionlessly looked at the four great elders and softly said, “All of you, rise.”
Li Yunmu stood up and spat out a mouthful of blood with few coughs and a pale complexion. The descendants in the spectator stand stood up straight and excitedly looked at Asura. The direct and branch family descendants of the four great clans had only seen the golden idol of Asura during the ceremonies in their clans. As for the person himself, they had never seen him.
Upon seeing the Asura Clan’s ancestor, they were naturally very excited.
The expressions of the three young masters and four elders, however, turned unsightly, and they began to panic. It was especially so for the four clan patriarchs. They hadn’t expected such a turn of events in the least. Why would god father rescue Chen Xiu in such a timely fashion? It was as if god father had been paying attention to the situation in the colosseum since the start.
In their estimations, Chen Xiu should have died in another breath’s time.
But the change in the situation was also good, since it showed that god father valued Chen Xiu a lot more than he should. The four elders understood the meaning behind it clearly in their heart.
Soon, they would have to receive punishment for attacking an ancestor. If Chen Xiu had died just a moment ago, then even if god father was furious, he would not dare to do anything in front of the four ancient god ancestors.
Chen Xiu had not died, however, so the four great elders would receive punishment, but they were unwilling and unresigned toward it.
“Ashchen, come see me at the city lord’s mansion.”
But the scenario the clan patriarchs imagined did not happen. Asura did not pay any attention to them and just looked around the colosseum once before his figure disappeared from the sky.
Li Yunmu glanced at the four patriarchs in the colosseum, then turned around and flew toward Brunhilda.
“I will go to city lord’s mansion, you go find rat and old bastard and wait for me in the room in the four-story building,” he told her in a whisper.
Brunhilda nodded, but her eyebrows creased, revealing a hint of hesitation. “Be extremely careful. If Asura discovers something, attack him even if it means revealing your identity. I will sense your presence and immediately join you.”
Li Yunmu nodded, then soared into the sky and flew toward the upper city.
All the disciples in the spectator stand looked at each other, not understanding the situation. The branch family descendants heaved a sigh of relief, then rushed out of colosseum in high spirits.
The three young masters and four great elders on the stage also heaved sighs of relief. When Asura had appeared just a moment ago, they felt truly afraid that they would receive the punishment.
There were also a few people worried in the arena. They were the four clan patriarchs. Asura had left without saying anything after rescuing Chen Xiu.
There was no condemnation or punishment, which was a complete change in attitude from what everyone expected. It made the patriarchs of the four clans hesitate. If it was said that Asura attacking to subdue the four of them just then was the whole of their punishment, none of them would believe it.
“What should we do now?” Rahu Clan’s patriarch asked with suspicion in his voice.
Jiao Xiu frowned, then snorted coldly and looked at the other three patriarchs. “What can we do other than hurrying to find our clan ancestors for guidance. If god father really wants to attack our four great clans, we cannot sit still and wait.”
After the conversation, the four clan patriarchs turned into a blur and soared into the sky, quickly flying toward their respective clans.
Li Yunmu walked toward the city lord’s mansion at a slow pace. The large gate which was usually shut tightly was wide open right then.
Two rows of maids were kneeling orderly on the ground and said in unison, “Paying respects to ancestor.”
“En, get up.”
Li Yunmu waved his hand and entered the mansion.
Although he had never come to the mansion before, he could sense the source of the most powerful presence in the mansion and knew where Asura was. He walked there and entered a small room on the second floor. Once inside, he saw Ashbi kneeling on the ground with his body slightly shuddering. Asura was lazily lying on his leather chair while holding a glass of wine in his hand.
The wine glass contained spirit wine and emitted a sweet fragrance which filled the entire room.
“I pay my respects to god father!”
Li Yunmu walked to Ashbi’s side and gave a customary salute.
“En.”
While sitting on his leather chair, Asura replied in one word. His four arms above the shoulder were holding his hair and interweaving groups of them into a small braid. After a moment, the scattered long hair was arranged into a perfect braid.
When Li Yunmu took note of it, the feeling given off by Asura once he changed his hairstyle became different. His whole entire presence seemed to transform.
Previously, his long hair were only tied with a golden ring, which made Asura look like a direct descendants of the four great clans. He was beautiful with a hint of languidness. But after he changed his hairstyle… Despite wearing the same silk cloth, a sort of vicious temperament was added to him.
“I am not very happy about today’s matter!”
Asura looked at Li Yunmu with his mirror-like eyes.
Li Yunmu inwardly mused that if Asura was truly not happy, he would not have taken action. The events at the colosseum allowed Li Yunmu to guess Asura’s thoughts.
The only thing Asura was still in the dark about right then was whether the ancestors of the four great clans had become ancient gods or not. If he knew, he probably would have taken action a long ago.
Li Yunmu looked at Asura with a calm expression and replied without any nervousness. “God father, I wasn’t in the wrong in today’s matter.”
“Oh? With the great war about to happen in the near future, the four great clans of Asura City have been thrown in a mess by you. But you still think you aren’t in the wrong? Today, if I hadn’t rushed over to the colosseum on time, you would’ve been dead with your soul scattered.”
Asura’s tone was completely calm, without any hint of anger or discontent.
Li Yunmu stood completely straight and said with a hint of a smile on his face, “The matter in the colosseum happened solely because the three young masters insisted on provoking me. As the ancestor of Asura City, I naturally couldn’t let such a humiliation go unpunished.”
