Shadow Hack - Chapter 911
Chapter 911: Bowing Out Easily
Li Yunmu looked through the small crack in the hollow of his palm into the heavenly world just in time to see the mortals throwing small rocks at the gods imprisoned in the box. They were only ordinary stones without any special effects, but he added electric shock like attribute to each stone that hit a god.
The reason for doing this was to remove the fear in the hearts of mortals towards gods. This method could be considered as the most direct one. Even the palace maids who were previously afraid of gods began to pick up small stones and throw them.
The fifteen gods screamed miserably.
Li Yunmu closed the crack in his palm and continued walking. When he reached the border between Lakshmi City and Asura City, almost all the villages in the territory of Lakshmi City had been placed in his heavenly world. If anyone flew over the territory of Lakshmi City at that moment, they would discover deep holes all around as if they were traces of a large battle.
Once Li Yunmu stepped into the territory of Asura City, he turned into black fog and gradually fused with the surrounding scenery while flying toward the ore mountain. Within an instant, the black fog passed through the forest and returned to his main body.
When Li Yunmu opened his eyes, he looked at the beautiful women lying around him with a tranquil expression. He stood up and walked out, then looked at the few remaining girls who were hurriedly walking around the camp. While on his path, Li Yunmu stopped a seemingly eighteen year old girl with a ponytail.
The girl holding a laundry bucket raised her head. When she saw Li Yunmu before her, she immediately began to shudder. She bent her knee and said while stammering, “L-l-lord…”
Li Yunmu looked at the flustered young girl and asked with a frown, “What’s your name?
The young girl saw that Li Yunmu’s gaze was focused on her, and she lowered her head in alarm. “My name is Xiao Nan.”
“Xiao Nan…”
Li Yunmu repeated it once and suspiciously looked Xiao Nan whose head was still lowered, “Are you afraid of me?”
Xian Nan tightly clutched the laundry bucket with her hands while thinking in her heart, Doesn’t my behavior display it clearly?
When Li Yunmu had arrived at the ore mountain, she had heard that supervisor Yan Xiu had sent a group of beautiful women to him. Every day, a different one went in, and soon the camp was full of rumros that lord was a sex fiend.
As long as a woman came into his sights, they were not able to avoid him.
Xiao Nan lowered her head even more and said”No, lord is such a handsome god, how could Xiao Nan be afraid of seeing you. I was only startled when an unfamiliar man stopped me.”
When Li Yunmu heard her words, he looked at his hand holding Xian Nan’s shoulder and quickly pulled it back.
“I am sorry, I subconsciously caught your shoulder just now. I want you to do something for me.”
“What!” Xiao Nan alertly retreated a few steps. “If it is that kind of thing, then I won’t do it!”
Li Yunmu sized up Xiao Nan who was as thin as as reed and said, “I don’t like flat chests so you don’t need to worry. I want you to find all the laborers of ore mountain. There’s something I want to declare.”
Upon hearing that, Xiao Nan nodded while feeling that something was wrong. But after receiving the order, she placed her laundry bucket to the side and rushed to the ore mountain.
Right then was the time when all the miners were collecting resources in the caves, so Li Yunmu turned his head and walked toward Yan Xiu’s tent.
Once he entered it, Yan Xiu looked at Li Yunmu with a hint of astonishment in his eyes.
“Shouldn’t the sixth ancestor be enjoying his springtime in the tent? Why have you come to my poor dwelling?” Yan Xiu said with a smile while quickly thinking about what had changed.
In the past few days, he had sent groups of young beauties in Li Yunmu’s tent so he would continue to enjoy himself, but it seemed that he had bowed out easily.
Yan Xiu had been constantly trying to contact Jiao Xiu, but wasn’t able to get a precise reply from him. Previously, they had discussed that Chen Xiu would be dealt with on the path to the resource land, but in the end, ge reached the ore mountain safely. After that, Clan Patriarch Jiao Xiu wouldn’t give him any instructions for the next step.
It was unknown whether he should kill him or hand the land over.
Stuck between two difficult choices, Yan Xiu could only continue dragging it out. While he didn’t have clear orders on how to deal with the matter, he would never make any moves toward Chen Xiu. Just based on the fact that Asura had personally promoted him to his son, he wouldn’t dare to attack. But he also didn’t want to hand over the ore mountain.
The resource land was far from Asura City, so with the emperor being far away, he could act as he wanted. Not only did every mortal tribe offer him extremely beautiful young girls, he also got to embezzle resources.
They might not be exchanged for power of belief, but if he continued to accumulate them, then someday if some other god required them, he could exchange them for a favor.
Li Yunmu sat down and glanced at Yan Xiu with a faint smile. “Today I came to find you to discuss the matter of this ore mountain.”
When Yan Xiu heard the words ‘ore mountain’, his heart began to thump loudly, for he knew it was the worst case scenario. Chen Xiu had come to take over the resource land.
Yan Xiu was supposed to hand over the ore mountain and return to Asura City, but he didn’t want to do so. He wouldn’t be able to act as a local tyrant once he returned and became just another god level elder.
“What does ancestor want to say? Can you explain it in simple terms?” Yan Xiu said with a smile.
Li Yunmu stretched his arms and legs, then looked at Yan Xiu and said, “It’s not much. I came here in order to replace you. After all, this ore mountain doesn’t belong to Morrow Clan anymore, but Ground Clan.
“But… seeing that you have been serving me with your utmost, I can let the Morrow Clan have this ore mountain and you can still continue being the supervisor of it.”
The smile on Yan Xiu’s face froze, and a hint of confusion appeared in his eyes. What kind of situation was this? When Li Yunmu said the words ‘ore mountain’, he had already started thinking of a better way to stall. But now, Li Yunmu surprisingly said that he would leave the ore mountain to Morrow Clan, and Yan Xiu could continue to act as a supervisor.
Yan Xiu snapped to attention and said, “Does the sixth ancestor have any other requests?”
“I do have a request. Give all the laborers of ore mountain to me. You can recruit other miners.”
Did the sixth ancestor go crazy?
He didn’t want a good resource land like the ore mountain but a group of Asura people who had been turned into laborers after being penalized. What was the use of those people? The majority of them were sage flux experts. Only one elder among them was at half god realm. Such people couldn’t compare to the ore mountain.
No one in the clan would want to come to recruit them, but they would like the resource land to stay in their hands.
Yan Xiu revealed a smile and slowly said, “I really can’t understand sixth ancestor’s thinking, but since the sixth ancestor wants all the laborers of ore mountain, I naturally wouldn’t decline.”
Li Yunmu waved his hand, then walked out of the tent. When its front cloth dropped down, he said, “I will be taking away the labourers to return them home.”
