Li Yunmu nodded, then looked at the panic-stricken Chen Xiu and said, "Actually, I also don't believe it."
…
Brunhilda looked at Li Yunmu with slight astonishment, then suddenly came to her senses. A sweet smile appeared on her face, but she didn't know what to say.
She had believed that Li Yunmu truly possessed the law of life and death. When the black hole in his palm had appeared, although the attractive force hadn't been directed at her, she had still felt a slight tremor in her soul.
Now that she thought about it, her husband was truly a liar.
Chen Xiu was somewhat startled. After remaining silent for a long time, he slowly said, "What do you mean? What you used just now was … You lied to me! "
"Yes, I lied to you," Li Yunmu said in a mocking tone. When he had asked the system, it had said that it hadn't imparted any divine techniques related to the law of life and death. It had only said that demonic energy could imitate the presence of any law.
That was why Li Yunmu had used the demonic energy in his body to imitate the soul snatching presence of the law of life and death, which had also sucked Chen Xiu's soul. Chen Xiu naturally believed it.
As a matter of fact, as long as Chen Xiu wasn't fooled by Li Yunmu and was a little closer, he would have discovered the difference.
Unfortunately, Chen Xiu cowered in fear before he could reach that step, so he naturally couldn't discover the difference.
"Speak, if you are tactful, then speak. If the secret is important, then perhaps I can spare your life. Although I don't understand the divine technique of soul snatching and have no way to determine whether your words are true or not, I can tell you one thing. "
After saying that, Li Yunmu paused and looked at the gloomy Chen Xiu. He clenched his fist, and a heaven destroying and earth exterminating might erupted from his body along with threads of demonic energy. A large number of birds in the forest surrounding the wooden house were startled and flew away.
Chen Xiu's eyes went wide, revealing the whites of his eyes, and he cried out in alarm, "You-you-you are an ancient god!"
Although he was a mortal, for better or worse, he was the son of Ancient God Asura's main bloodline, so he had naturally seen ancient gods. Recently, the seven ancient gods of Lanlou had joined hands with the gods of Ocean Land to invade the Land of Ice and the Yellow Sea. After the defeat, Ancient God Asura didn't return to the divine palace in the heavens, but went to Asura City to recuperate.
Because of this, Chen Xiu had seen the main body of an ancient god in the past and was familiar with its world-destroying aura. And the youngster in front of him also had the same presence. In his heart, he had already determined that Li Yunmu was an ancient god.
Since he was an Ancient God, he should have said so earlier.
Chen Xiu thought that Li Yunmu was really strange. But an ancient god from the Ancient Lands of the eastern domain, could it be …
Chen Xiu respectfully asked, "You are Ancient God Fuxi?"
"No, almost all of the ancient gods in the Ancient Lands have been killed by me. A mortal like you definitely doesn't know who I am. However, you only need to know one thing. The reason why Lanlou and Hanhai lost in the end was because of my appearance. "
As soon as he said that, Chen Xiu knelt on the ground, his whole body trembling as he fearfully said, "Ancient God Asura came to the city and announced to the outside world that he was cultivating and recuperating. Internally, he wanted us descendants of the four great clans to send people to fight for the power of belief. Those of us with lower strength were sent to pretend to be people from other big cities to kill these innocent villagers. "
"Wait until we have massacred to a certain extent. The higher-ups would step in to save these villagers. Only then would the power of belief be the purest. "
When Li Yunmu heard Chen Xiu's words, he waited for a long time, but when he didn't say anything, he suspiciously asked, "Then what? Nothing else? Is this the hidden mission you were talking about? "
Chen Xiu lowered his head, and fear appeared on the face at the back of his head. He looked at Li Yunmu and said while trembling, "No, no, letting us massacre the villagers was a mission for everyone. Some of us, including myself, were given another hidden mission by the higher-ups, which was to find traces of Ancient God Lakshmi. "
Traces of Ancient God Lakshmi?
Li Yunmu looked at the terrified Chen Xiu and thought that his words should be reliable. According to what he said, after the battle of gods, the seven ancient gods of Lanhai had been seriously injured. But Ancient God Asura's injuries were feigned, or perhaps his injuries weren't as serious as those of the other six ancient gods.
Because of that, Ancient God Asura wanted to use this opportunity to fight for territory, people, and power of belief to advance one step further. As for the hidden mission mentioned by Chen Xiu, searching for traces of Ancient God Lakshmi …
It was clear that Ancient God Lakshmi had already disappeared, or perhaps she had escaped and wasn't in the divine palace.
It seemed that after she was injured, the balance between the ancient gods was broken. After Asura came to the city, he dispatched people to massacre the villages under Lakshmi City so that the majority of the people would lose faith in the god they believed in and the great city. After that, he dispatched people to subdue the mortals.
Since Asura dispatched people to search for Ancient God Lakshmi, it meant that Ancient God Lakshmi and Asura had already fought. In the end, Ancient God Lakshmi had escaped from the divine palace and hid in the lower world.
As for whether the other five ancient gods of the divine palace knew about it or not, Ancient God Lakshmi did not dare to ask them for help.
"Asura asked you to search for Ancient God Lakshmi in the enormous Lakshmi City?" Li Yunmu asked suspiciously. If Ancient God Lakshmi had hidden in the lower world, the mortals wouldn't have been able to find her.
Chen Xiu raised his head to look at Li Yunmu and hastily said, "Ancient god said that only a part of Ancient God Lakshmi's soul escaped to the lower world and possessed a mortal's body. That's why he asked us to kill the mortals while using the Drought Heavenly Mirror to search for Ancient God Lakshmi's whereabouts."
After saying that, Chen Xiu took out a small and exquisite mirror from his inner clothes and offered it with both hands.
Li Yunmu placed the Drought Heavenly Mirror in his hand and asked the system in his mind, "Can this Drought Heavenly Mirror detect Ancient God Lakshmi's soul?"
[It can detect her. Asura mainly cultivates the laws of life and death, and his companion artifact is this Drought Heavenly Mirror. As long as it shines on the person possessed, it will produce a different light.]
Li Yunmu nodded and put away the Drought Heavenly Mirror. He then looked at Chen Xiu kneeling on the ground and waved his hand. "You can withdraw first. If there is anything, I will let you in."
Chen Xiu nodded and respectfully retreated.
"What do you intend to do? Our objective this time isn't to get involved in the battle between the seven ancient gods, "Brunhilda reminded him.
