When Li Yunmu heard the system's words, he looked ahead absent-mindedly. The system's words were indeed a problem, but Asura had killed four ancient gods, which gave the other ancient gods an idea.
Lanlou and Ocean Land had joined hands to attack Land of Ice, but after they were defeated, the ancient gods had more or less suffered some injuries. Only Asura had been careful and pretended to be injured, but in truth, he hadn't suffered any injuries.
From the moment Asura attacked, the ancient gods knew the outcome of the battle. If the ancient gods and Asura had fought head on, they would have been the victors. But if they did so, apart from Ancient God Lakshmi who only had a trace of her soul remaining, some of the other five ancient gods would perish.
That was the reason why the ancient gods had gathered outside Asura City and then retreated.
No one wanted to become cannon fodder in the battle of gods. Because of that, the situation in Lanlou had become delicate. The delicate balance was between Asura and the six ancient gods.
If Asura could advance another step or the injuries of the six ancient gods were completely healed, the battle of gods would begin.
If that happened, the battle of gods would begin.
"Naturally, the battle of gods must be brought forward. We can't stay in Lanlou for more than a hundred years. Dragon Lady and my daughter can't wait. I wonder how Little Bu's side is doing, "Li Yunmu said slowly while his mind was filled with countless thoughts.
He had to make a trip to Lakshmi City, but not only to see Little Bu but also Ancient God Lakshmi. There was also an even more important matter, which was to bring forward the battle of gods. But before that, he had to drive Yan Xiu away.
As night descended, the entire ore mountain was filled with a somber atmosphere. The west wind blowing from the east could even cut one's skin. In a tent in the camp, Yan Xiu was sitting upright on his seat while holding a pure white jade tile in his hand.
He shot a ray of divine power at the jade tile, and ripples appeared on its surface. A deep and resounding male voice came from the jade tile.
"Yan Xiu, what business do you have with me?"
Yan Xiu respectfully asked while holding the jade tile with both hands. "Clan patriarch, did the four great clans dispatch fifteen gods to kill Chen Xiu?"
Once he said that, Jiao Xiu, who was far away in Asura City, had a bad premonition in his heart. After a moment of silence, he said, "What do you mean?"
"Chen Xiu reached ore mountain in the evening," Yan Xiu said truthfully.
.....
Jiao Xiu, who was sitting in the main hall of the residence, was slightly startled, but he remained expressionless. The smiles on the faces of the three patriarchs sitting below him gradually stiffened and disappeared.
The sky gradually turned dark, but the four clan patriarchs were still sitting in the main hall. They did not return to their respective clans because they were waiting for the fifteen gods dispatched to return with cultivation methods. While waiting, the four of them were still thinking about how to take back the resource lands, as well as how to suppress the Ground Clan and make it a subordinate force of the four clans.
The ending had already been written, and they only needed to wait for the fifteen gods to return and report the good news.
But now, Yan Xiu actually said that Chen Xiu had already reached the ore mine and was completely unharmed.
Where did the fifteen gods go???
Jiao Xiu put away the white jade tablet and cut off the connection with Yan Xiu. He turned his head to look at Ming Wang, who was standing guard at the side. With a gloomy expression, he said, "Go to the Elders' Association and see if the spirit tablets of the elders we sent out have broken."
"Yes, Patriarch."
Ming Wang's figure moved and disappeared. Not long after, his figure appeared at Jiao Xiu's side and he strangely said, "The spirit tablets of the elders that were sent out are still intact."
.....
Chen Xiu had reached the resource lands without any damage, and the spirit tablets of the fifteen gods were also not broken. After thinking about it, there was only one possibility …
Jiao Xiu and even the three clan patriarchs turned their heads toward the city lord's mansion. In Asura City, the only person who could easily stop the fifteen gods and even make them disappear was god father.
Apart from him, no one else could do it.
If god father had taken action, why hadn't the city lord reacted in the slightest, or perhaps he had sensed it? When god father had entered seclusion, Ashbi had seen it with his own eyes. Since god father was in seclusion, why did he secretly attack the fifteen gods dispatched by the four clans to kill Chen Xiu and capture them instead of scattering their souls?
Could it be that it was a trap set up by god father and borrowed the mouth of the city lord to let the four great clans know that he was in seclusion so that he could observe the actions of the four great clans while hiding in the dark?
Jiao Xiu's complexion instantly turned deathly pale, and his whole body felt numb as if he had been electrocuted. If god father learned of it, he would definitely find the four great clans to settle the debt. With the betrayal of the four ancestors, it would be the extermination of the four clans.
"God father didn't directly question us, which means that there is still a chance to turn the situation around. The four of us will act as if the matter of the fifteen gods dispatched by the five of us never happened. In the future, if god father asks about it, we will act as if we don't know anything, "Doro Clan's patriarch said with a gloomy expression.
The other clan patriarchs nodded, and the simple-minded Rahu Clan's patriarch said, "Since that's the case, what should we do about Chen Xiu? Should we continue to kill him? "
When he said that, a hint of disdain appeared in the eyes of Deva Clan's patriarch sitting beside him, and she said with a sneer, "If god father takes action, will you still be able to kill him? Could it be that you are truly not afraid of your clan being exterminated? "
Once Rahu Clan's patriarch heard those words, his sturdy body shuddered, but he did not say anything.
The main hall turned silent. Each of the clan patriarchs was filled with suspicion, but before long, they left Morrow Clan's mansion and returned to their clans. Jiao Xiu looked at the scenery outside the main hall and began to ponder.
After thinking for a long time, he felt that he couldn't just sit and wait for death. He got up and prepared to take a trip to the city lord's mansion to ask Ashbi what exactly was going on. If god father was truly in seclusion, then Morrow Clan would not be able to make a move against Chen Xiu or Ground Clan.
In the camp under the ore mountain, Yan Xiu looked at the white jade tile in his hand, which was no longer emitting any fluctuations, and his expression became somewhat strange. Previously, the patriarch had explained through the white jade tile that the four clans would dispatch fifteen gods to kill Chen Xiu.
Since that was the case, Yan Xiu naturally hadn't expected that Chen Xiu would come to the ore mountain's resource land. He had prepared a banquet and some resources for the fifteen gods of the four clans.
Chen Xiu had indeed come to ore mountain, but the fifteen gods had disappeared without a trace.
Yan Xiu, who had wanted to communicate with the patriarch, didn't know what to do. Chen Xiu's goal in coming to ore mountain was to receive the resource land. Then as the steward dispatched by Morrow Clan, should he give the resource land to Chen Xiu or not?
If he didn't, it would be troublesome when he returned to Asura City. After all, Chen Xiu was the son of god father and the sixth ancestor of Asura Clan. If he gave it to Chen Xiu and the patriarch didn't have the original intention, then he wouldn't have a share of the power of belief.
It was truly a difficult problem.
Yan Xiu pondered for a long time, then waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I don't care. Since I don't understand the intentions of both sides, I will drag it out for now. In any case, Chen Xiu isn't in a hurry to take over the ore mountain. "
