Chapter 799: The Demands of Doro Clan’s Young Master

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In the jungle, Chen Xiu and nine soldiers wearing black armor were rushing through the trees while riding on monster lizards. From time to time, the group would stop, and Chen Xiu would take out an exquisite mirror to investigate the origin of the five-colored light.

“This way.”

A hint of happiness could be seen on Chen Xiu’s stern face when he put the dry heaven mirror back into his pocket and pointed toward the southwest direction.

Before his words could fade away, the monster lizards quickly rushed away, leaving behind only dust in their original location.

Three hundred meters later, Chen Xiu encountered other people of Asura City going in the same direction. Upon realizing that the person was a direct descendant of one of the four great clans, he expressionlessly rushed past him toward the village in southwest.

The group of people obstructed by the dust was led by a man wearing white armor. He was pretty handsome, with fair skin and two extra arms coming out of his right and left shoulders. There was a blood-red eye at each of his palms, which was absolutely terrifying.

He belonged to one of the four great clans of Asura City and was Doro Clan’s young master Domingle.

While the dust was flying, an afterimage appeared behind his body and stood in front of him. It used all four arms to disperse the flying dust.

Domingle looked in the direction in which Chen Xiu left and narrowed his eyes before coldly saying, “The group of people who brushed past us should be from Morrow Clan. A trifling branch family descendant actually dares to be so unbridled. The four greats clans might have their own way of doing things, but when all is said and done, I am still the young master of Doro Clan.”

The person with four arms standing in front of him turned around and looked at the young master with a smile. “The person who passed by us should be called Chen Xiu of Morrow Clan.

“He is one of the unfavored branch family descendants of Morrow Clan. He doesn’t understand currying favor with his superiors with Morrow Clan and is wholeheartedly focused on becoming a god. The fool is simply carried away by his wishful thinking, which is truly naive.”

“I heard that Morrow Clan’s young master Ming Xiu used several methods to recruit this Chen Xiu, but he failed again and again,” one of the other subordinates said with a smile, exposing Chen Xiu’s past matters.

Some other people also knew a rumor or two, and they discussed them while laughing about it.

“This Chen Xiu is only in the upper mid level in terms of strength among the descendents of Morrow Clan, so in the four clans, he couldn’t be regarded as anything outstanding. How could he actually dare to fight with us?

“The soul of Ancient God Lakshmi will fall into the hands of young master. People like Chen Xiu can casually be killed at any time, so you should pay attention to the other three young masters,” another subordinate said.

Domingle looked into the distance, then blinked, and a beautiful smile appeared on his fair face. “What you say makes sense. I won’t bother with him, some branch family’s descendant and nothing more. But I don’t like such unruly behaviour.”

“Young master, leave such characters to us. He will be dead within the next breath,” numerous subordinates said in unison.

“Yes.” Domingle nodded as if he had realized something and turned around to take a look at his nine subordinates. “There is something more,” he said in a calm voice. “I will use this opportunity to say something to you.

“You are the children of Doro clan’s branches, but here you are being used by me. However, you need to perform well in this fight over Ancient God Lakshmi. After my strength rises, I will naturally not treat you unfairly. You just need to wait until I become an ancient god, then you nine will also get the opportunity to become gods.

“If any of you turn out to be like Morrow clan’s Chen Xiu, disloyal and wishing to fight over Ancient God Lakshmi, don’t blame me for not warning you early. Even if you obtain it, you won’t be able to live long enough to see Ancient God Asura.

“People should act according to their position. Otherwise, they will face the same fate as Chen Xiu—an unsightly death.”

Before Domingle’s words could fade away, the nine subordinates bent down and respectfully agreed with him. He nodded at that, revealing a hint of a smile on his face.

The group of people then advanced toward the village in southwest.

Less than fifty miles in that direction, at the foot of a mountain, there were countless wooden houses. Outside them in the plaza, there were villagers wearing crude clothes standing with all sorts of pipa ¹ in their hands. They were surrounding children emitting five-colored light to protect them while vigilantly looking at a group of armed men before them.

The two sides stood opposite each other without doing anything. It seemed like they had reached an impasse and were biding their time.

“From when did the people of Asura clan dare to enter the territory of Lakshmi City? Aren’t you afraid that we will report it to the master of Lakshmi City so that he can have a conversation with your Asura City? If you are sensible, you should retreat. Otherwise, even if we are weaker, we can still drag you down together with us.”

A beautiful woman with red at the center of her eyebrows was standing in front of the village. She held a pipa with a white tip in front of her chest.

In front of her, a row of black-armored soldiers stood straight. They were led by Commander Doludo who had monster eyes growing all over his arms. With each movement of his blade, a gale rose up.

The commander was looking directly at the woman holding the jade pipa while feeling jittery in his heart. As a child of a branch of Doro clan, he didn’t have any thoughts of fighting over Ancient God Lakshmi.

Yet by coincidence, he had encountered the person possessed by Ancient God Lakshmi, which revealed the thoughts hidden in the abyss of his heart. If he could capture the person possessed by the ancient god and return before others, he would obtain the opportunity to become a god.

After that, his status would change. He would be adopted as a direct descendant and would even obtain the qualifications to fight for the position of a clan chief.

But... his luck was still somewhat bad.

Heaven-defying luck would be needed to find Ancient God Lakshmi in the sea of people before him. And the village in which the person possessed by the ancient god was located was no easy pushover either.

Asura city’s rules were quite simple. Only the influential people could reside in the city while those with thin bloodline would live in the countryside.

However, Lakshmi City’s rules were different. Although the majority of influential people stayed in the city, a large clan might also choose to settle in a village.

Asura City had four large clans while Lakshmi City had twelve music clans.

The commander has thus encountered the Pipa Clan. The music clans were not good at battle, but they were good at controlling sound waves, which just so happened to restrain the brave warriors of Asura City.

Moreover, each of the twelve music clans had a god.

With the presence of a god in the village, the commander could only wait calmly for the other squads to arrive and use it as a pretext to swear loyalty to Young Master Domingle.

“Holy daughter of Pipa, if you have any brains, quickly hand over the children emitting the five-colored light. Otherwise, Ancient God Asura will definitely not let your Pipa clan go,” Doludo said with a cold face.

“Everything is the fault of the children emitting the five-colored light. With your Pipa clan protecting them aren’t you afraid of being exterminated? Anyone with a brain would’ve handed the children long ago.

“Otherwise, the young masters of the four great clans will come in person, carrying the treasures of their clan. Do you really believe that by relying on the jade pipa to raise your cultivation to the level of a god you will last for long?”
