Chapter 881: Ore Mountain

Chapter 881: Ore MountainTranslator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


As the sun set in the west, the sky was covered with a red hue.


Li Yunmu rode on the fierce tiger toward the ore mountain between Lakshmi City and Asura City. After the fifteen G.o.ds had disappeared, the speed of the fierce tiger had increased greatly. By noon, it reached the vicinity of the ore mountain. By following the narrow path, they could see a great mountain, which was shaped like a broken sword struck in the ground, in front of them.


That mountain was the ore mountain part.i.tioned to Chen Xiu by the four great clans with several veins of ores hidden within it.


One after another, several clouds of black fog appeared in the sky and quickly flew into the shadow behind Li Yunmu. He looked at them while sitting on the fierce tiger, and a faint smile appeared on his face.


“A group of people who overestimate their own strength,” he mumbled to himself.


Not one of the fifteen G.o.ds had survived.


It was quite possible that the four clan patriarchs waiting in their mansions for the news of the operation might faint after hearing the news. Just recently, their patron ancestors had died, and now, a high-end combat force composed of fifteen G.o.ds had also been wiped out.


Li Yunmu patted the fierce tiger and softly said, “Increase your speed and hurry to the ore mountain.”


The fierce tiger quickly rushed forward on its four limbs, leaving a trail of dust in its wake.


Not long after, a human and a tiger reached the ore mountain. After arriving at the bottom, Li Yunmu looked at the camp established under the mountain and several Morrow clansmen with two faces working quickly. When they saw Li Yunmu sitting on the back of the fierce tiger, all of them stopped their work and raised their heads to look at him.


Li Yunmu looked at the group of Morrow clansmen and revealed a hint of divine presence. “Where is the supervisor of this camp?”


When the group of Morrow clansmen sensed the divine presence, they panicked. Although all of them were Morrow clansmen who possessed remarkable bloodline ability, they had offended the direct descendants in the clan and were reduced to the status of labourers sent to the resource land of the ore mountain.


When Li Yunmu revealed his divine presence, they could sense that it was similar to that of the supervisor of the ore mountain. Because of that, they guessed that he should be the new supervisor sent from the clan.


A pale-haired old man with a face full of grime paid his respect and said, “Sire is the new supervisor? I will take sir to the supervisor.”


After saying that, a half G.o.d energy fluctuation appeared from the elder, and a clone appeared behind him which quickly rushed inside the camp. Not long after, the elder returned with a handsome middle-aged man behind him.


“Morrow Clan’s elder Yan Xiu greets sixth ancestor. I wonder whether the sixth ancestor’s trip has been peaceful?”


Yan Xiu was smiling, but when he looked at Li Yunmu sitting on the fierce tiger, a hint of suspicion flashed past his eyes.


When the rest of Morrow Clan’s people heard the word ‘ancestor’, the alarmed expressions on their face became even more grave, and they quickly knelt on the ground and began to kowtow.


Li Yunmu looked at the bowing Yan Xiu and said in a cold voice, “Nothing happened. I wonder why Elder Yan is saying so?”


How was that possible? The four clans had dispatched fifteen elders to a.s.sa.s.sinate him, so how could Chen Xiu reach the resource land safely? Where were the fifteen G.o.ds?


Doubt took root in the heart of Yan Xiu, who had received word from clan patriarch a long time ago about how Chen Xiu was going to be attacked and killed by fifteen G.o.ds after leaving Asura City. He hadn’t cared about it much, since things would continue as usual in the ore mountain, but who could have expected that Chen Xiu would surprisingly reach the ore mountain safely? Where exactly were the fifteen G.o.ds that should have stopped him?!


Yan Xiu suppressed the suspicion in his heart and said with a fake smile on his face, “Lord ancestor is being unnecessarily suspicious. As someone from Asura City, I am naturally worried about whether lord ancestor encountered any difficulties enroute. After all, Lanlou is very dangerous, and the people of other ancient G.o.ds will attack when they see lord ancestor. But fortunately, ancestor reached the ore mountain safely.


“Come with me, lord ancestor. I will take you to your residence. The living environment in the ore mountain is very lacking. It cannot compare to Asura City at all. I beg for lord ancestor’s forgiveness.”


While saying that, Yan Xiu respectfully led the fierce tiger, which Li Yunmu was riding, into the camp.


Inside it, Li Yunmu saw Morrow clansmen everywhere. There were also some others who could be considered as slum dwellers of lower city. They were covered in grime and had no hint of spirit in their eyes.


Yan Xiu led Li Yunmu to a tent in the depths of the camp and then retreated respectfully without giving him any chance to nitpick. As for the matter of transferring the resource land, he didn’t mention a word about it.


Li Yunmu climbed off the tiger and sat down on a seat in the tent. Yan Xiu should be busy notifying Jiao Xiu about his arrival and asking about the situation of the fifteen G.o.ds. However, despite the bodies of the fifteen G.o.ds having been destroyed, their souls were still intact. That meant that their soul slips in the four clans should also be whole, so the four clan patriarchs would find it quite strange.


Li Yunmu extended his palm in front of him, and the middle of it ruptured to reveal a large hole. He looked inside and saw his heavenly world. Within it, Chen Xiu was sitting with his eyes closed, cultivating. At his side, there was a transparent four sided lattice.


There were fifteen white b.a.l.l.s of light mixed inside the lattice, and they were all knocking against the edge.


“The fifteen of you still haven’t given up on your struggle? You are trying your utmost to rebel inside my heavenly world, so could it be that you cannot sense that this is a heavenly world and I am the master here?”


The fifteen light b.a.l.l.s sealed inside the four-sided lattice gave up struggling after hearing that and cursed in rage.


“Who exactly are you, traitor?”


“What is your goal behind sneaking into Asura City by impersonating Chen Xiu?”


“I say, even if Chen Xiu was raised to G.o.d realm by G.o.d father, how could he possibly kill the fifteen of us! This kind of strength surpa.s.ses that of G.o.ds, so could it be that you are another ancient G.o.d?”


The more the fifteen G.o.ds spoke, the more the light b.a.l.l.s shuddered, displaying their growing fear. It had turned out that they weren’t dealing with Chen Xiu, but another ancient G.o.d. He had infiltrated Asura City by impersonating Chen Xiu, but what exactly was his aim behind establis.h.i.+ng the Ground Clan? And the place where they had all been relocated wasn’t part of Lanlou.


It was like a small world in itself.


This kind of thing was only heard about in legends. Even though they were G.o.ds, they had never seen such a thing, and what was more, they hadn’t even heard of any ancient G.o.d in Lanlou being able to do it.


Li Yunmu looked at the fifteen G.o.ds trembling in fear, and a smile appeared on his face. He flipped his hand, and the cavity at the center of his palm instantly welded together. The voices of the fifteen G.o.ds disappeared, and the room sank into silence.


[Now, what do you intend to do?] the system asked.


Li Yunmu was half-lying on the chair while supporting his head with one hand.


“What else could I do,” he said slowly while looking at the entrance of the tent before him. ” Yan Xiu should’ve run to contact the four clans, so they will definitely go to investigate the soul slips. But unfortunately for them, the souls of the fifteen G.o.ds haven’t shattered, so the investigation of the four clans won’t reveal anything.


“They won’t dare to act without thinking, however, so after taking over the resource land, I will take a trip to Lakshmi City. I wonder how Little Bu is doing in Lakshmi City.”


The system didn’t speak for a time, but countless thoughts pa.s.sed through its mind.


[What I want to say is, you should start this battle of G.o.ds in advance!]
