Chen Xiu retreated to the side and looked at the four young masters, who were standing in four different positions, discussing how to fight.
Luo Tian first proposed a free-for-all, but the other three young masters rejected it. There was no other reason than that if the four of them fought in a free-for-all, it would affect the fairness of the fight. Or it could be said that two of them had already formed an alliance, and they would first defeat each other in a free-for-all before finally fighting each other.
This would be too unfair. Of course, the main reason was that the four young masters didn't trust each other.
Soon after, Domingle proposed to draw lots to decide who would fight in pairs. Whoever won would fight the other winner, and the winner would obtain the children emitting the five-colored light.
Jasmine, who was lying in the palanquin, objected because she was weaker than the other three young masters in terms of fighting, which was somewhat unfair.
Just as he finished speaking, Luo Tian went berserk and led his subordinates to rush into the open space, wanting to snatch the children.
The other three young masters joined forces to stop him.
In the end, the four young masters fell into a deadlock, each of them on guard against others who would ignore the rules and snatch the children.
Chen Xiu, who was standing on the side, looked at the four young masters. He patted the lizard he was sitting on, walked forward, and calmly said, "If the four of you can't decide how to fight, then use your subordinates as chess pieces. Whoever's subordinate becomes the final victor will be able to win over these children."
Luo Tian and Domingle felt that it was reasonable and nodded in agreement. Ming Xiu's expression turned cold. He looked at Chen Xiu and said in an unkind tone, "This is not fair. I only have eight subordinates left, while the three of you have nine. If we fight one after another, I will be the first to be eliminated!"
"That is easy to solve. Each of you only needs to send out eight subordinates and draw lots to make the decision. If this is not fair, then it would be better for the four of you to fight in a free-for-all. None of you trust each other, and if you are in a deadlock, when will it end? "
As soon as he said that, Jasmine giggled from within the gauze, and the expressions of the three young masters became unkind.
The meaning behind Chen Xiu's words was that the four of them were in a deadlock because they were greedy for life and afraid of death. They were suspicious and didn't trust each other. But none of them admitted it and pretended not to understand. Chen Xiu's opinion was the fairest. The subordinates chosen by the four young masters were the best of the best, so if they lost, they could only blame others.
"Then it's decided."
The four of them sent people to draw lots and place them on the empty ground. They began to arrange the order of appearance and the enemies they would be fighting against. No one paid attention to the Pipa Clan in the center of the open space. Liu Bailing lightly bit her lips, her face pale as she watched the Asura Four Young Masters begin their own battles. She felt extremely sullen in her heart.
Without the protection of Ancient God Lakshmi, the people of the music clans became the target of no one's attention.
She understood that the four young masters had definitely brought along their clan's inherited treasure, which was similar to the jade pipa which could instantly increase their strength and push the four of them to god realm.
The four gods didn't care about Liu Bailing's counterattack.
For a moment, Liu Bailing was filled with regret. Why was she so weak? If she became a god, then even if Ancient God Lakshmi perished, the four young masters would not dare to come to Pipa Clan.
He could only blame himself for being useless.
Liu Bailing turned around and looked at the children surrounded in the center. When she saw the five-colored light emitting from their bodies, she began to silently pray in her heart. "Ancient God Lakshmi, please bless the fresh blood of Pipa Clan so that they can escape."
After praying, Liu Bailing looked at the group of old, weak, sick, and disabled people surrounding them and sighed. The four young masters had brought along a precious treasure, so it was impossible for them to escape. Someone had to stay behind to block them.
As the holy daughter of Pipa Clan, Liu Bailing naturally had to be the first to stay behind to block the four young masters. The old, weak, sick, and disabled people also had to stay behind. Apart from a few of them who would lead the children of Pipa Clan to Lakshmi City, the rest had to stay behind.
She began to play the jade pipa in her hand, allowing the old, weak, sick, and disabled people to choose who would stay behind. When the group of old people, women, and children heard the melody, they began to whisper to each other.
Before long, the sound of pipa echoed, and a sorrowful atmosphere spread in the surroundings.
At that moment, the four young masters were watching their subordinates fight. When they heard the sorrowful melody, a cold smile appeared on their faces. In their eyes, Pipa Clan was only playing a final tune before their clan was exterminated.
When Liu Bailing heard the cheerful melody hidden in the music, she turned around and saw that most of the old, weak, women, and children were expressionless, but their eyes were filled with determination. They had already made their preparations.
Liu Bailing turned around and looked at the battle not far away, then at Chen Xiu, who was standing at the edge of the open space. When their gazes met, she couldn't help but shudder. She lowered her head and looked at the battlefield from the corner of her eyes, waiting for an opportunity to let the children escape.
As long as they could escape to Lakshmi City, everything would be safe.
Chen Xiu looked at the battle on the battlefield, and after a moment, he felt somewhat bored, so his gaze shifted to Pipa Clan. A sorrowful melody echoed in his ears, and he closed his eyes to listen. He sensed that there were two cheerful melodies hidden in the sorrowful melody, which instantly made him feel that something was wrong.
Lakshmi Twelve Music Clans were originally focused on musical instruments, so they naturally had the ability to use melodies to communicate without opening their mouths.
Could it be that Liu Bailing wanted to escape with her clansmen?
Chen Xiu thought about it and saw that the four young masters were focusing on the battle. If Pipa Clan found a good opportunity, they would truly have an opportunity to escape.
But it wasn't related to him.
Chen Xiu thought that Pipa Clan had come to fight over the children with the four young masters, but he hadn't expected that just as they were about to fight, his master would secretly send him a message. All of a sudden, he turned from a hunter to a spectator. He didn't need to kill the four young masters or fight over the children. He only needed to calmly stand there and watch.
Although Chen Xiu had recognized Li Yunmu as his master and would naturally obey his orders, he was still suspicious about what exactly his master was doing.
Everyone had their own goal in doing things.
For example, he had spent a large amount of money to come to Lakshmi City to search for the soul of an ancient god. For example, the four young masters had taken out their clan's treasures to fight over the children to obtain Ancient God Asura's favor.
Only his master's actions … were completely based on his mood.
In the beginning, he had shattered the reverence for gods in the hearts of mortals. Later, he had come to Pipa Clan to fight over the children with the soul of Ancient God Lakshmi.
He couldn't understand, he really couldn't understand.
