After hearing Li Yunmu’s explanation, Asura nodded in approval. He then took a gulp of the spirit wine and savoured the taste for a moment before speaking up again.

“In Asura City, rules are the most important. Regardless of whether someone is the clan patriarch or one of the three young masters, they have to respectfully bow and salute you. But your method for punis.h.i.+ng those youngsters was excessively ruthless, completely not suitable to your status.”

Li Yunmu burst out laughing after hearing Asura’s words, while Ashbi kneeling nearby was like a bird startled by the mere tw.a.n.g of a bow, and his body shuddered from top to bottom.

“G.o.d father, your words are wrong. No one cares about the methods in a place where rules are supreme and social hierarchy is respected. As long as you are sufficiently formidable, anything you say becomes the rule. Even if the three young masters are weak and not my opponents, they are still the young masters of the four great clans and not the residents of lower city.”

Ashbi, who was still kneeling on the ground, snapped out of his fright and returned to reality. Li Yunmu’s laugh had made him feel for an instant that G.o.d father might really attack and obliterate him. Fortunately, G.o.d father did not attack, so there was still an opportunity.

Ashbi lowered his head and rolled his eyes at Li Yunmu’s words. His mouth was really ferocious.

“You speak correctly, strength is indeed the most important. As long as you have sufficient strength, every word you say will become a rule. Those who are serving others must follow the instructions otherwise only death will await them.

“When the three young masters attacked you, you were able to punish them. But when the patriarchs of the four great clans came personally, why did you not change your position. After all, they were late stage G.o.ds and could easily kill you while still having strength to spare,” Asura enquired with his eyes fixed upon Li Yunmu to hear his reply.

“The patriarchs of the four great clans were late stage G.o.ds, so I naturally couldn’t resist in front of them. But even if they were late stage G.o.ds and the patriarchs of the four clans, they still must be punished for attacking an ancestor.

“I was personally adopted by G.o.d father and was burdened by this incredible honor. If I had lowered my head toward the patriarchs of the four clans, that would be losing face for your distinguished self,” Li Yunmu said without any change in his expression. His words, however, were clearly meant to curry favor with Asura.

After he finished speaking, a smile blossomed on Asura’s face.

“Moreover, I dared to fight with the four clan patriarchs because I was not afraid. Since G.o.d father bestowed the t.i.tle of ancestor upon me, I must defend it, or your face will certainly cease to exist.

“Furthermore, the information given by me to G.o.d father was not that highly valuable. The reason why you raised my cultivation from initial stage sage flux expert to G.o.d realm is probably because of my boldness. And the matter of you adopting me as your son is certainly more complex than what I might understand.”

Ashbi, who was still kneeling on the ground, felt a lingering fear in his heart. Anyone with a brain could see that it was where they would be completely exposed. Asura might have already discovered the matter of stolen power of belief.

How could a branch family descendant have such a profound scheming mind that he could even antic.i.p.ate the thoughts in Asura’s mind? If it had been any other branch family descendant, they would have been lost in excitement after obtaining the cultivation base of a G.o.d and the position of ancestor that they would have no time to think of such things.

“Tell me then, what are my thoughts!”

Asura sat up straight on the leather chair as if he was about to hear something interesting.

“When I was leaving, G.o.d father told me that I can do anything I want to do. As the branch family descendant of Morrow Clan, I was accused wrongly in the matter of young master’s death and was pursued to the city lord’s mansion by the subordinate of clan patriarch. So after I obtained the cultivation base of G.o.d and the position of ancestor, the first thing I did was to return to Morrow Clan and cause havoc,” Li Yunmu said with confidence.

“Given G.o.d father’s ident.i.ty, countless descendants with great apt.i.tude and even purer bloodline would come running to hug your thigh. Among them, you could’ve chosen a more suitable candidate for an ancestor, but you chose me, so you naturally have to have some other aim. Everything is related to the four great clans, so I guess that G.o.d father wanted to use me as chess piece to create a disturbance.”

The four hands on Asura’s back began to clap after he heard Li Yunmu’s words, and the wine gla.s.s in one of his hands began to sway fiercely. He smiled and looked at Li Yunmu with a scorching fire in his eyes as if he had encountered an unpolished gem.

After a long time, he excitedly said, “Intelligent people like you rarely appear in Asura City. You are far more clever than the others.

“I wanted to use you as a chess piece to control the four great clans, but I hadn’t expected that an intelligent person like you would guess this matter. Although you acted in great haste regarding the matter of colosseum, it allowed me to see the intentions of the four great clans.

“They are ready to do anything to obtain the power of belief. Those four children, whether for good or bad, I am still their G.o.d father. Even if I didn’t give them power of belief, it should be fine.”

While speaking, Asura’s tone became gloomy and cold and from time to time, a presence like that of heaven erupted from his body. The temperature in the room dropped.

That drop in temperature was not something to be concerned about for G.o.ds, but Ashbi, still kneeling on the ground, was shuddering from head to toe while Asura spoke. With each word, his trembling became worse.

“You tell me, Ashbi. When I was at the divine palace, I had no intention to bother about this power of belief and gave all authority to manage Asura City to you and the four great clans. But when I descended this time, I discovered that the amount of power of belief was too small. A portion of it had been stolen.

“You five wanted to advance your cultivation, and I can understand your thinking, but you were overly hasty. If the things were different, I would have bestowed power of belief to you all to strengthen your cultivation myself. But you acted on your own, which makes me very bitter. The sons who were personally created by me, should I kill you all or not?”

After saying that, Asura reclined on the leather chair with his eyes looking at Ashbi trembling on the ground. His voice was completely calm as if killing a son was a completely ordinary matter.

“I made a mistake, I was wrong. G.o.d father, I couldn’t control myself and colluded with the four great clans. All the power of belief stolen over the years has been concealed by me without using even a single bit from it. I request G.o.d father to forgive me, I know my mistake, but I don’t want to die. I request G.o.d father to give me one final chance…”Ashbi pleaded in a broken voice.

He was clear that G.o.d father was a ruthless and decisive existence who really could kill him. That was why he did not dare to scheme at this time and begged for his life while all the plots and excuses in his mind turned into fleeting clouds.

“I will settle your debt after returning. Right now, I want to take a trip to the four great clans with my sixth son and see how much my four children have advanced by relying on the stolen power of belief.”

After saying that, Asura stood up and arrived at Li Yunmu’s side in a wink. He placed his hand on Li Yunmu’s shoulder, and the next instant, the two of them disappeared from the room.
