“Reckless,” Li Yunmu said with an indifferent expression and walked through the courtyard to enter the main hall.
When madam looked at the guards lying on the ground, she thought how just a moment ago, the sixth ancestor had given her a sweet date fruit, but here, she came to slap people. When he was in her house, he had only released his presence to suppress her as punishment, and that was it. He acted nicely the rest of the time
Yet when he came to the second house, lord ancestor acted decisively with even a hint of disdain for living creatures.
“Lord mother!”
When madam heard the speaker, she turned around and looked at Xuan Ren strangely stretching her head with her eyes squinted like crescent moons.
“You girl, why did you come!”
Just as the madam said those words, Xuan rushed to her side.
Before the mother and daughter could talk, a figure flew out of the main hall and fell on the ground. Madam blocked Xuan Ren behind her and took a look at the person at her feet.
She was startled by the sight. The person thrown out of the mansion was none other than its master. He was Doro Clan’s branch family descendant Do Mingyan, who had half god cultivation.
Do Mingyan, who was blown away and sent to the ground, raised his head and looked at madam. A hint of happiness appeared on his face, then he anxiously said in a tone filled with alarm and delight, “Madam, join me to deal with the sixth ancestor so we can kill him here.”
Madam did not reply, just pushed Xuan Ren a few meters away. Then, her quasi half god cultivation erupted and gathered at her feet. She kicked Do Mingyan, and the sound of something breaking echoed.
Do Mingyan instantly released a miserable wail, and his whole face was twisted.
It was giving a date fruit before giving a slap.
The contrast in Chen Xiu’s attitude when entering the two houses allowed madam to become aware that Li Yunmu was warning her. After all, previously she was from Deva Clan. She was only a branch family descendant before, but she had now become a member of the Ground Clan and could betray them. If madam didn’t kick the fallen descendant, the sixth ancestor would certainly get suspicious of her.
At that moment, Li Yunmu walked out of the main hall and came to stand in front of rolling Do Mingyan. He said with a smile:
“Don’t you know, madam has chosen to become a member of the Ground Clan,” he said with a smile. “Previously, you misbehaved before the envoy dispatched by me, so as a descendant of Ground Clan, she naturally must teach you a lesson.”
When Do Mingyan heard those words, he looked at madam with wide eyes and said in astonishment, “You… you surprisingly dare to betray your true clan? Don’t tell me you aren’t afraid of Deva Clan finding trouble with you?”
“Deva clan finding trouble with me? Let’s see whether they dare to do it! With sixth ancestor present here, who among the four clans would dare to act arrogantly? Besides, I was only a branch family descendant of Deva Clan, a servant.
“Ground Clan doesn’t differentiate between direct descendants and branch family descendants, and it also provides the opportunity to obtain power of belief to become a god. So why wouldn’t I enter it?” madam said with a smile. Her voice was crisp and melodious, like that of a yellow oriole.
Li Yunmu stepped on Do Mingyan and said with a charming smile, “Presently, you only have two choices: either enter Ground Clan or die.”
“I will enter, I will enter Ground Clan,” Do Mingyan anxiously said.
In his eyes, his life was the most important. As for whether he could obtain power of belief or not, he did not have the time to confirm whether those words were true or not.
After going to the second house, a half god Do Mingyan joined the procession.
Li Yunmu walked in the front with Xuan Ren and madam following behind him. Do Mingyan’s shoulders drooped, and his arms dangled like rubber, but he quickly rushed to catch up to madam.
“Madam, what you said, was it true? Can we really obtain power of belief in Ground Clan?” he asked with suspicion.
“That is only natural. After all, lord himself said so. Ground Clan’s descendants obtain credit points by relying on their personal worth. These credit points are comparable to currency and can be used to obtain other things, including even power of belief. It is extremely precious though, so the amount of credit points required is also large,” madam said with a smile.
She believed that Li Yunmu wasn’t a liar. After all, god father had given power of belief to the rulers. At that time, the four great clans and the city lord jointly divided ten portions of power of belief. Every clan obtained two of them. Now, however, Asura City only had two rulers—the city lord and the sixth ancestor walking in front of them.
Then, of the ten portions, each ruler would obtain five. It could be said that sixth ancestor possessed ample amounts of power of belief in his hands. so madam was convinced by his words.
“Then I should have been told that earlier. If lord ancestor had directly spoken about the power of belief, I would have joined him without any objections. Why would I want to suffer torture? Your kick from just a moment ago destroyed my arm below the elbow. It was really a grave injustice,” Do Mingyan said with bitterness.
If he was told about the power of belief in the beginning, he wouldn have agreed to join without complaining. Who did not want power of belief to become a god? He was no exception in this regard.
“You all wait at the gate.”
Before going into the third house, Li Yunmu turned around and spoke to everyone. Just as he did so, his figure disappeared, and a blood-curdling scream came from the house. Silence reigned afterwards.
Just when the expressions of madam and Do Mingyan filled with suspicion, they saw the large gate of the third house open. Li Yunmu walked out from inside and advanced towards the next household. The two followed behind him.
When they passed by the gate of the third house, they peeked inside. Since they were a half god and a quasi half god, their eyesight was very good, but they didn’t see anyone, only a pile of ashes on the floor.
They looked away without saying anything, only their bodies betraying that they had understood what had happened by a single shiver. Before, the two of them believed that Li Yunmu wanted to receive all the households into the Ground Clan. Although they were half gods, they could be considered as the core strength of a clan.
However, Li Yunmu unexpectedly did not show the least bit of mercy toward the third guy and burned him to ashes.
Something flashed in madam’s mind, and she turned around to ask Do Mingyan, “Previously, when the two envoys of Ground Clan came to your house, how did you deal with them?”
“I blasted them outside, just like lord blew me away. What about you?”
Do Mingyan spoke in a matter-of-fact tone while complaining in his heart about the two envoys of Ground Clan. Why hadn’t they said anything about power of belief?
“I-I only suppressed them in punishment. It seems that lord attacked the third household’s master because the Ground Clan’s envoy received such treatment there,” madam said with creased eyebrows.
They went after Li Yunmu, intending to see how he would deal with the master of the fourth household, and he soon stood in front of the gate. He congealed a blade from divine energy and threw it into the courtyard, after which a blood-curdling scream was heard.
Then, without stopping, Li Yunmu advanced towards the fifth household. The two newly-joined Ground Clan members glanced at each other without saying anything and closely followed behind him. Xuan Ren walked the last with an expression of worship toward Li Yunmu on her face.
When the group approached the fifth household, they heard a miserable shriek which made their blood run cold.
