After the system finished explaining the usage of power of belief, it didn't make any sound as if it had fallen asleep.
Cursing inwardly for being boring, Li Yunmu snapped out of his daze and looked at the map of Lanlou in his mind. In the vast forest of Lanlou, there were altogether seven large cities, each of which represented the power of the seven ancient gods — Shiva City, Vishnu City, Indra City, Lakshmi City, Jialou City, Asura City, and Yaksha City.
The seven main cities faced the seven Ancient Gods, and there were countless small cities and villages under the seven main cities. In terms of the number of mortals, the total number of people in Lanlou was more than the total number of the other four lands.
"Let's go, we will reach a village after walking a hundred meters. Let's go there and see how exactly the mortals of Lanlou use power of belief."
Li Yunmu was extremely curious about the power of belief. It wasn't only because Lanlou was the only place in the five regions that used power of belief, but also because he was also worshiped by mortals.
After Li Yunmu and Miss An sealed the eight-headed great snake and the nine-tailed heavenly fox, the mortals there carved divine statues of the two of them and enshrined them in the temple.
But he had never sensed the power of belief before.
"System, are you concealing the power of belief?" Li Yunmu asked.
[Naturally, this power of belief isn't anything good. I naturally have to conceal it. If you use it, your future will be ruined,] the system said after some thought.
Li Yunmu nodded but didn't say anything. Since it was forbidden by the system and the four regions, it naturally wasn't anything good.
After snapping out of his daze, Li Yunmu looked at Brunhilda struggling free from his hand. She took a few steps forward and looked at the boundless forest in front of her in a daze.
"Little Bu, what are you doing?"
Brunhilda turned around to look at Li Yunmu and suspiciously asked, "Don't you hear many screams coming from not far away?"
"Let me listen."
Li Yunmu walked forward and stood side by side with Brunhilda, carefully listening to the movements in the distance. Among the cries of insects and birds, there seemed to be mournful screams mixed in.
At that moment, the system suddenly said in his mind, "There's no need to listen anymore. The scream is coming from the village you're heading to. Didn't you want to see why the power of faith was banned? Now, you can go and see what happened in the village. "
Without saying anything, Li Yunmu's heart sank. He grabbed Brunhilda's hand and unleashed Heavenly Insect Step, rushing toward the place where the scream had come from.
In a few steps, the two of them arrived at an open space hidden in the forest.
More than a dozen wooden houses were built in this open space. Several campfires were lit outside the houses, and there was a small stream at the edge. It could be said to be a hidden paradise in the forest.
At this time, the village was littered with corpses. In the stream, a pile of corpses lay next to the bonfire. The blood that flowed out dyed the entire stream red. The blood on the burning charcoal instantly dried up, producing a crackling sound.
Li Yunmu looked at the corpses wearing coarse hemp clothes and assumed that they were villagers.
Beside the wooden house, there were countless black-armored soldiers holding broadswords slaughtering the fleeing villagers. There were also a few thin and weak children among them.
"Why do you want to kill us!"
"Why?!"
"We are the people of Lakshmi City, so why do you want to kill us!"
"Ah ah ah ah, my child, my child, where exactly are you?"
One after another, the villagers fled in all directions. The black-armored soldiers behind them had ice-cold expressions and didn't show any emotion. One of the black-armored soldiers was sitting on a corpse next to the bonfire. His ice-cold eyes peeked out from under his helmet as he looked at the fleeing villagers with a sneer on his face.
"All of you are the people of Ganxing City? You rebels surprisingly dare to defy the decree, so you are no longer the people of Lakshmi City and won't receive the protection of Ancient God Lakshmi. Kill them all for me, don't leave anyone alive. "
Li Yunmu looked at the fleeing villagers, and his expression turned slightly ice-cold. Although they weren't his people, when he saw the soldiers of Lakshmi City wantonly killing the defenseless villagers, he couldn't help but feel moved in his heart.
It was very common for experts to fight and kill each other. The victor was the king, while the loser was the bandit. If two gods were fighting, Li Yunmu would stand on the side and watch without interfering.
But in that situation, it was impossible for him not to interfere.
Chen Xiu, who was sitting on a corpse next to the bonfire, looked at his subordinates slaughtering the villagers, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth. A hint of cruelty appeared in his eyes.
Kill, kill, kill with all your might.
Every time a villager died, he would have to complete his mission. After the massacre in one village was over, he would immediately rush to the next one.
As long as he killed enough people, he would have hope of becoming a god.
When Chen Xiu thought about becoming a god, the smile on his face grew even wider. Suddenly, his vision darkened as if someone was standing in front of him. He raised his head and saw a man who was about the same age as him. He had black hair and black eyes, and the appearance of someone from the eastern domain.
Chen Xiu looked at Li Yunmu, who had a faint smile on his face, and said without any care, "Lakshmi City is handling matters. It doesn't matter who you are. Unrelated people, move to the side."
After a moment, Li Yunmu was still standing in front of Chen Xiu, which made him somewhat annoyed. He waved the large blade in his hand and slashed forward.
"Reckless thing!"
The blade blossomed with cold light, and it turned into an afterimage. Just as it was about to reach Li Yunmu's face, two fair and tender fingers appeared on the blade.
A bare hand catching a white blade.
Chen Xiu looked at Li Yunmu with a hint of vigilance in his eyes. He exerted force with his left hand, wanting to pull back the large blade, but discovered that it was being controlled by an unknown power and couldn't be pulled out.
"Who exactly are you!" Chen Xiu coldly said.
"This is Lanlou, the territory of Ancient God Lakshmi. You, a person of the eastern domain, have overstepped your boundaries! "
Li Yunmu faintly smiled and looked at Chen Xiu, who was hiding under the helmet with only his mouth and eyes exposed. His two fingers trembled, and a thread of divine power entered Chen Xiu's body through the blade.
In an instant, the black armor and helmet on his body all exploded, revealing his appearance. His facial features were strong and his contours were strong, but slightly different from ordinary people. There was also a handsome face at the back of his head, and his tightly shut eyes opened.
"If you say that I have overstepped my boundaries, then you, a person of Asura City, also came to Lakshmi City to kill people. Isn't that also overstepping your boundaries? Is there any difference between the two of us? "
