Li Yunmu nodded while looking at the panic-stricken Chen Xiu and said, “Actually, I myself don’t believe it.”

Brunhilda looked at Li Yunmu in slight shock, then suddenly realized what was going on and revealed a sweet smile. There was nothing she could say to that.

Even she herself had thought that Li Yunmu possessed the techniques of soul path when the black whirlpool had appeared in the hollow of his palm. Despite the absorption force not being directed at her, she had still felt her soul shivering.

But when she thought about it, her husband was actually a swindler.

Chen Xiu was somewhat startled. After being silent for a long time, he slowly said, “What do you mean? You just unleashed it, it was... You tricked me!”

“Yes, I fooled you,” Li Yunmu said with ridicule in his voice.

Just a moment ago, when he had enquired the system about it, the system had told him that although it could not impart any techniques of soul path to Li Yunmu, his demonic energy could imitate the technique of any path.

Because of that, the whirlpool had appeared when Li Yunmu used the demonic energy inside his body to imitate the action of extracting a person’s soul. It pulled Chen Xiu’s soul slightly, which naturally made him believe that he was facing a soul technique.

The truth was, however, that as long as Chen Xiu did not get scared and allowed it to get a little closer to him, he would have discovered the difference.

But unfortunately, Chen Xiu did not have the courage for that. He cowered and retreated, so he could not discover the difference.

“Now speak, tell me the truth. If this secret is important, perhaps I won’t kill you. Although I don’t understand the technique to extract your soul and don’t have any method to investigate whatever you are saying is true or false, I can guarantee you one thing...”

After saying up to there, Li Yunmu stopped and looked at the gloomy-faced Chen Xiu and clenched his fists. A heaven-shaking power burst forth from his body together with threads of demonic energy, which startled a large number of birds in the jungle near the wooden house, and they all rose into the air.

Chen Xiu’s eyes went wide, revealing a large amount of white, and he said with alarm, “You-you-you are an ancient god!”

Although he was a mortal, but for better or worse, he still belonged to the main bloodline of the Ancient God Asura, so he naturally had seen an ancient god. It had even been recently, when the seven gods of Lanlou had joined together with Olympus to invade the Land of Ice and the Ocean of Sand.

After being defeated in battle, Ancient God Asura had not returned to the heavenly palace, but remained in Asura City to recuperate.

Because of that, Chen Xiu had seen an ancient god personally and was familiar with their heaven shaking presence. And the youngster in front of him was emitting the same presence, which made Chen Xiu acknowledge him in his heart as an ancient god.

Since the person before him was that strong, Chen Xiu knew that he was already finished.

He inwardly cursed Li Yunmu for being eccentric, then another thought struck him. An ancient god from the Ancient Lands, could it be that he was...

“Are you Ancient God Fuxi?” Chen Xiu respectfully asked.

“No, but the ancient gods of the Ancient Lands have been destroyed by me. As for who I am, you as a mortal will definitely not know it. You only need to know one thing, and that is that the reason why Lanlou lost in the battle against the Land of Ice was because of my appearance.”

Before his words could even fade away, Chen Xiu, who was kneeling on the ground, shuddered from head to toe.

“When Ancient God Asura returned to Asura City, he proclaimed to the outside that he had returned to recuperate, but in truth, he dispatched the descendents of his four main families to fight over the power of belief. People like me with low strength were dispatched to impersonate the people of other great cities and kill innocent villagers.

“After we have massacred a certain number, the top brass would send someone to rescue the populace. At that moment, the power of belief obtained would be the purest.”

When Li Yunmu heard Chen Xiu’s words, he didn’t speak for a long time before suspiciously asking, “And? Is that it? The secret mission that you spoke of was this?”

Chen Xiu lowered his head, hiding his face that displayed extreme fear. His eyes trembled, and his whole body shivered when he spoke again.

“No, no, killing villagers is everyone’s mission. Among us, there are a few like me who have been assigned a secret mission by the top brass, and that is to find tracks of Ancient God Ganesh.”

Tracks of Ancient God Ganesh?

Li Yunmu looked at the terrified Chen Xiu and thought that he should be speaking the truth.

According to what Chen Xiu was saying, after the battle between gods, the seven ancient gods of Lanlou were heavily injured. However, the truth was that the injuries of Ancient God Asura were fake or at least not as serious as those of the other six ancient gods.

Thus, Ancient God Asura thought of using such an opportunity to snatch the territory as well as the power of belief of the other gods. As for the secret mission which Chen Xiu spoke of, to find tracks of Ancient God Ganesh, it seemed that he had disappeared.

It could also be that he had fled, which was why he would not be present in the palace above the heavens.

The main point though was that after the defeat, the balance between the ancient gods of Lanlou had been destroyed. When Asura returned to his city, he dispatched people to massacre the villages under Ganesh City so that the majority of residents under it would lose confidence in the god they worshiped. They then could be incorporated into Asura’s own followers.

Since Asura dispatched people to find Ancient God Ganesh, it meant that ancient gods Ganesh and Asura had already battled, which resulted in Ancient God Ganesh fleeing to the mortal world from the heavenly palace.

As for whether the remaining five gods in the heavenly palace knew of this matter or not, Ancient God Ganesh did not seem to dare to seek their assistance.

“Asura allowed you all to search for Ancient God Ganesh in Ganesh City?” Li Yunmu asked with some suspicion. If Ancient God Ganesh was hidden in the lower realm, it would be impossible to find him just by relying on a few mortals.

Chen Xiu raised his head and hurriedly explained himself. “Ancient god said that Ancient God Ganesh had fled to the lower world in soul form and has possessed the body of a mortal. Thus, we can kill mortals and at the same time search for the whereabouts of Ancient God Ganesh with the help of the dry heaven mirror .”

After saying that, Chen Xiu took out an exquisite mirror and offered it with both hands.

Li Yunmu took the dry heaven mirror and asked the system in his mind about it. “Can this dry heaven mirror find the whereabouts of the Ancient God Ganesh’s soul?”

[It can find Ancient God Ganesh’s soul. Asura cultivates the soul path, and his favorite weapon is precisely this dry heaven mirror. As long as the target appears in front of it, it will produce a different light.]

Li Yunmu nodded and put away the dry heaven mirror. He then waved his hand while looking at Chen Xiu kneeling on the ground.

“You can leave now. If something happens, come to me.”

Chen Xiu nodded and respectfully retreated.

“What do you intend to do? Our goal isn’t to intervene in the battle between the seven ancient gods,” Brunhilda reminded Li Yunmu.

“I know, Little Bu, but if this Asura is allowed to find the soul of Ancient God Ganesh, do you really think that the seven ancient gods of Lanlou will still continue to exist? I fear that soon there will only be one Master God Asura. After becoming a master god, he will naturally act toward his next goal, to become a True God.”
