Domingle turned around gloomily and looked at Chen Xiu sitting inside the room.
“You are a branch family descendant yet you still dare to be so rampant in Asura City?” he said with an ugly expression. “Don’t tell me that you really don’t want to live?”
“Little brother, I advise you to calm down a bit. You are only a branch family descendant. Even if you have grown more powerful presently, your limit in this lifetime would still be the level of a half god. With you acting in this manner, aren’t you afraid that we three will find you trouble in the future after becoming gods?”
Jasmine’s tone was ice-cold, without any hint of playfulness from before.
Li Yunmu stood up from the leather chair and slowly walked through the room. With each step he took, the presence he emitted rose by a little. By the time he arrived in front of Domingle and Jasmine, his presence had already risen to the level of god.
“What were you saying just now?” he asked in a calm voice.
Jasmine did not continue speaking, feeling as if her brain had frozen. As a young mistress, she has seen countless gods and had even used clan treasures, so she naturally knew that the presence emitted by Chen Xiu was the divine presence.
Chen Xiu was a branch disciple, yet after a trip to the city lord’s mansion, he had become a god.
The thing that popped up in Jasmine’s mind was the scene of Chen Xiu kneeling in front of the city lord’s mansion, saying what they had thought were lies. Ancient God Lakshmi’s soul was the only thing that could make god father bestow the cultivation of a god upon him.
The four young masters equipped with clan treasures had rushed into the territory of Lakshmi City from distant parts, and one of them had even died, but the final prize was obtained by an unremarkable branch family disciple.
Jasmine narrowed her eyes and said with a smile, “Little brother, you have really concealed yourself deeply.”
No wonder then that he had been so desperate to escape Ming Wang’s pursuit and staked his life to reach the city lord’s mansion. Only if he was holding a part of ancient goddess’ soul in his hand would god father allow him to use the power of belief to rise to the god realm.
As long as he became a god, his standing in the clan would become different. Even if a young master died, they could be replaced, but gods were everlasting.
It required a large amount of power of belief to become a god. Without the support of a clan, who could obtain such a large amount of power of belief? They would remain stuck as sage flux expert level without the possibility of advancing.
“You flatter me. If I didn’t conceal myself, I would’ve turned into bones long ago in Asura City and wouldn’t have been able to survive until now. But since I’m already a god, according to the rules, when you see me, you must make your salutations,” Li Yunmu said with a smile to the gloomy-looking Domingle and Jasmine.
To make salutations or not?
Asura City had a strict hierarchy. Among the same generation, regardless of whether it were the branch family descendants or direct descendant, they did not need to salute each other. Only young masters, clan patriarchs, and gods were saluted. Jasmine and Domingle were young masters, so they only needed to bow and salute the clan patriarch instead of kowtowing in front of them.
By the same rule, they also needed to bow before and salute gods.
But the two of them had been born with a silver spoon in their mouth. They had been young masters from the time they were born and would become patriarchs in the future.
Two people who were foreordained to become gods in the future not never bow and salute a branch family descendant. If they did so, it would leave an indelible shadow in their heart.
Li Yunmu calmly looked at the two people hesitating and smiled coldly. He then released his divine presence toward them.
An irresistible pressure attacked the two young masters, and Domingle and Jasmine gritted their teeth. But while the of them resisted, the maids and unconscious Luo Tian knelt down.
Row after row, all in proper order.
“Those who don’t kneel break the rules. Those who break rules need to be punished.”
After saying that, Li Yunmu pulled back his divine presence and saw the two young masters heaving a sigh of relief and breathing deeply. The next instant, he slightly waved his left hand, and two blobs of black fog surrounded and bound Domingle and Jasmine. They were then lifted into the air, floating near the ceiling of the room.
“What exactly do you think you are doing!” While floating in the air, Jasmine’s expression was ice-cold, just like her voice. “Even if you have already become a god, you are still someone from one of the four clans. We are three young masters and yet you dare to kidnap us? What exactly gives you the guts? Aren’t you afraid of being attacked by Elder Council?”
“I am warning you, don’t destroy your bright future prospects. You think that you can act arrogantly without any scruples after becoming a god, but wait until patriarchs and Elder Council hear the news of our disappearance. They will certainly kill both your body and soul.”
Jasmine and Domingle kept shouting threats while struggling to free themselves. But regardless of how much they struggled, the two blobs of black fog were like chains, binding them without allowing any chance of escape.
Li Yunmu smiled while waving his finger for the two people hovering in mid-air to be slowly dragged forward. He then turned around and looked at the maids kneeling on the ground.
“You all stand up. Whoever dares to run will be immediately killed.”
The maids shuddered from head to toe, then lifted the unconscious Luo Tian and followed behind Li Yunmu.
The colosseum was buzzing with activity. The combatants were roaring constantly and battling with all sorts of vicious beasts, while surrounding the main stage, the disciples of the four great clans were shouting their hearts out. With each battle they saw, their blood boiled hotter.
The inside of the colosseum was lively, while the outside of the colosseum was completely silent.
The guards looked at the two young masters floating in the air with astonishment on their faces. Two of them focused on Li Yunmu and hastily said, “You are a descendant of the four families, yet you still dare to kidnap your young masters? Are you tired of living? Go people, catch him and rescue the young masters.”
After hearing those words, the guards nearby also rushed over toward Li Yunmu with weapons in hand.
A divine presence erupted at that moment, and all soldiers dropped their weapons and knelt on the ground. The guard who had shouted for assistance, began to tremble. He looked at the smiling Li Yunmu and nervously said, “Lord god, this lowly one spoke out of turn just now.”
Li Yunmu did not reply and kept on walking toward the colosseum. The group of maids carrying Luo Tian followed behind him.
After their silhouettes disappeared, the guards kneeling on the ground stood up and looked at each other with questions in their eyes. As far as they knew, the only people who could become gods were the descendants of the four clans, while the three young masters were the future patriarchs of the four great clans, so how could the situation they had just witness happen?
A seemingly juvenile guard asked, “What to do now, act as if we did not see it?”
“You are afraid that the three young masters will find trouble for us after being freed and want to act as we didn’t see it. But just a moment ago, the two young masters were floating in the air and everyone had clearly seen it. We can’t infuriate that god either.
“Quickly dispatch someone to the city and inform the people of the four great clans. They will send their own to rescue the young masters. Like this, we can be considered as fulfilling our duty.”
Two soldiers hastily rushed out of the colosseum, even forgetting the weapons they had thrown on the ground.
