Shadow Hack - Chapter 836
Chapter 836: Four Elders
Jasmine covered her nose while revealing an uncomfortable expression on her beautiful face below the veil of muslin. As the young mistress of Deva Clan, it was the first time such a bloody smell had assailed her nose. After one whiff of it, she felt like she was going to faint.
It was also the first time she had been reduced to the level of ordinary people. Without cultivation, she couldn’t even use the charming techniques of Deva Clan.
Damn it.
She raised her head and looked at the man sitting on the high platform on the third level, and a wave of rage rose in her heart.
While she was being absent-minded, a strong, stinky gust blew at her. When Jasmine sniffed it, her mind went blank.
A shadow appeared in front of her at that moment and extended its glowing sharp talons toward her. When they were about to strike her, a flash of a blade appeared from the left side and forced the black shadow bak.
“Eh? What exactly are you doing? If you continue acting like this, all of us will die in this colosseum,” Domingle said with an ashen complexion and not the slightest consideration for the fact that Jasmine was someone he liked.
“This stinky air, it’s truly repulsive. I cannot stand it!”
Jasmine felt somewhat wronged for being scolded, and her beautiful eyes turned slightly red. But she knew that she was in the wrong, so she only mumbled her complaint in a soft voice.
Domingle did not reply but kept fighting against the beasts pouncing on them with weapons in all six arms. The rank air was extremely unpleasant, and any ordinary smell paled in comparison to it. None of the three of them knew that the beasts in the arena had such a pungent smell since all of them were always sitting on the high platform.
At that moment, however, even if the beasts stank, they had to endure and continue fighting. Otherwise, they would be torn to shreds before the clan elders came, and there was nothing more precious than their life.
The twenty or so beasts looked at the three people in the middle. Then, their tensed bodies relaxed all of a sudden and they pounced on the humans. The three people could only brandish the weapons in their hands to endure the attacks of the beasts.
The descendants sitting in the spectator stand and watching the situation in the arena were slightly startled. The three young masters stood at the peak of their generation, so according to reason, they would not need to be so vigilant when dealing with such a small number of beasts.
Those in the audience then took a more careful look and noticed a circular imprint between the eyes of the three young masters. When they associated it with the scene of the beasts surrounding the three young masters, the descendants immediately realized that the god sitting on the high platform had sealed the cultivation of the three young masters.
Only those with an extremely ruthless heart would do something like that.
The branch disciples began to carefully whisper with each other, enquiring with the person sitting next to them about whether they knew the god sitting on the high platform. Chen Xiu was originally a branch family descendant, so he wasn’t known by anyone. All the descendents up and down the rows shook their heads. Only a branch family descendant of Morrow Clan nodded after some time, indicating that he knew him.
“Chen Xiu was a disciple of Morrow Clan. Previously, he was extremely reclusive and his strength was among upper middle tier among the branch family descendants. At that time, my clan’s young master sent people three times to recruit him but was refused.
“Afterwards, Chen Xiu spent a lot of money to hire nine subordinates through the guild and went to Lakshmi City to search for the part of Ancient God Lakshmi’s soul. When he returned, our young master was dead.
“But Chen Xiu managed to return alive. Clan Patriarch dispatched half god Ming Wang to arrest him and bring him back, but this Chen Xiu used Asura Eyes to increase his cultivation and rushed to the city lord’s mansion.
“Afterwards, when he returned with Ming Wang, he had already become a half god. Even more important is that he was adopted by god father as a son, becoming an ancestor.”
After hearing that, the branch descendant of the Deva Clan who had enquired went into a daze. He looked at the Morrow clansman without any idea of how he should reply. After a long time, a chill ran down his spine, and terror filled his heart.
“This lord god is surprisingly so terrifying. But since he has already become a god, why does he want to deal with the three young masters? You can see that the cultivation base of the three young masters has been sealed before they were sent before the beasts. This simply looks like sending them to their death,” the Deva clan’s descendant said.
“You just don’t understand. When my clan’s young master died, Chen Xiu said that he had been killed by the holy daughter of Lakshmi City. But the clan’s treasure Asura Eyes, which young master had brought with him, were in Chen Xiu’s hand when he returned, so what do you think really happened?” Morrow Clan’s descendant said, pretending to know everything.
Deva Clan’s descendant did not reply, but looked up at the high platform with one-tenth envy and nine-tenths dread.
A true devil.
On the third level of the spectator stand, all the direct descendants were watching the situation in the arena. They paid attention to how the three young masters fought with the dozens of beasts despite obviously not having enough strength. In less than a few minutes, they were already covered in wounds.
Upon seeing their blood, each and every one of the direct disciples tightened their hands underneath the table with their hearts filled with hope that the three young masters would be torn into pieces before the clan elders arrived.
On regular days, the direct descendants had to be extremely respectful to the young masters, but there was not one of them who did not hope that the young masters would meet with an accident. Frankly speaking, all of them were direct descendants, but the position of clan patriarch, which was supposed to be obtained after great struggle, was turned into a hereditary position.
The biological children of the clan patriarch became the young masters, and as soon as they reached the cultivation of great circle sage flux expert, the clan would use the power of belief to help them become a god.
If nothing unexpected happened, the other direct descendants would not dare to have any thoughts about the position of young master or clan patriarch. But right then, such a good opportunity presented itself in front of them. As long as the elders of the clan were a bit slow, the three young masters would die without a doubt.
Once the young masters died, the direct descendants could honorably struggle for the position of young master. On top of that, they would not need to share any blame as all responsibility would be shouldered by that god Chen Xiu. It was an extremely beneficial matter for them.
Brunhilda stood up from her seat and looked at Duo Ju who was still standing with one foot in the air and smiled. She walked to Li Yunmu’s side and enquired while looking at the three young masters in the arena, “Do you really intend to kill the three young masters? Wouldn’t it turn the four great clans against you?”
“Even if I didn’t bring this calamity on the three younger masters, the four great clans are like locusts bound by the same rope. They naturally have to stand on the same side for benefits. But I don’t really want to kill these three young masters.
“My main goal is to see whether this quasi master god Asura will push Chen Xiu in front of the four great clans or will continue protecting him despite his unbridleness.”
While holding Brunhilda, Li Yunmu released his divine presence and sensed the appearance of four gods.
“They finally came.”
Brunhilda raised her head and looked at the four dots in the sky, which were gradually becoming larger. The next instant, the elders of the four clans wearing black gowns appeared in the sky and looked at the three young masters fighting in the arena. They immediately turned around and looked at Li Yunmu with ice-cold expressions.
“You traitor, you should die!”
After saying that, the three elders erupted with divine presence which was equally matched with his. All of them were initial stage gods. The very first to fly toward Li Yunmu was a muscular man holding an iron hammer. His figure flashed, and he arrived near Li Yunmu while howling loudly.
