The final young master was Jasmine of Deva Clan.

"It seems like this humble servant had made the other three young master wait," Jasmine said with a smile while hidden behind the cotton cloth. Her voice was melodious like tinkling bells, and anyone who heard it felt drowsy.

Upon hearing that laughter, Ming Xiu, who was staring at Liu Bailing, turned around and looked at the figure in the palanquin. His gaze revealed an even more intense desire while his expression became somewhat sluggish. Domingle's gaze was also attracted toward by the woman, and an impulse to forcefully take her rose in his heart.

A laughter to charm the crowds—that was what had been used.

The only people who remained unaffected were Luo Tian, Chen Xiu, as well as the Pipa clansmen.

"Have you all come here to enjoy beautiful women?" Luo Tian asked in a muffled voice, revealing a helpless expression while looking at Chen Xiu and Domingle.

The face at the back of Chen Xiu's head betrayed a hint of restrained fear. As a disciple of a branch family of Morrow Clan, he naturally had heard many stories related to the young master of Deva Clan.

Compared to the other three clans, the Deva Clan resembled the subordinates of Ancient God Lakshmi more. The other three clans were good at direct fighting, but the people of Deva Clan were handsome and most adept at using charming techniques.

Even without noticing it, people could be used by them.

The person most outstanding in using charming techniques among the younger generation of Deva Clan was Jasmine, and she had many pursuers in Asura City. Many people hadn't even seen her appearance but were charmed by her voice alone. From this, it was clear how terrifying she was.

Even Domingle and Ming Xiu were influenced by her voice.

"Elder brothers, don't you plan to gift Ancient God Lakshmi's soul to me? Before coming here, this humble servant had promised elder ancestor to definitely return with Ancient God Lakshmi's soul."

Jasmine's voice came from the palanquin, and it was filled with a hint of pitifulness mixed in with the tone of being wronged.

Anyone who heard it could not help but bow and surrender.

When Liu Bailing heard Jasmine's voice, she creased her brows slightly while cursing the vixen inwardly.

Luo Tian, who was sitting on the elephant, went dark-faced upon hearing what Jasmine asked for and said in a loud voice, "You want my pity? This father will destroy your palanquin if you won't speak properly."

Domingle sneered at the palanquin. "That's impossible."

Ming Xiu's complexion also recovered to normal and he said with ridicule, "If you married me, then I could give you the soul of Ancient God Lakshmi."

Jasmine turned silent for a moment. When she spoke again, her voice was no longer lovable like before but rather ice-cold.

"It will depend on who has the ability. It would've been better if you had politely handed him over to me, since it would have saved everyone the effort of fighting. In any case though, the one who will obtain the soul of Ancient God Lakshmi will be me."

"Hmph, stop boasting shamelessly."

The three young masters snorted coldly.

Jasmine turned silent, and her gaze passed through the cotton cloth to land on Chen Xiu standing near Liu Bailing. Upon seeing him, she spoke in astonishment.

"Which younger brother is this who surprisingly appeared here? I remember that Asura City only has four clans and not five."

"This younger brother is Morrow Clan's branch family's descendant Chen Xiu, and he has come to fight over Ancient God Lakshmi's soul. You shouldn't underestimate him, he is truly fearless," Domingle explained from the side.

He watched Jasmine while speaking, wanting to know whether she would provoke Chen Xiu or not.

"Hmph!"

Ming Xiu did not say anything, but his hatred for Domingle kept on increasing. He already considered Chen Xiu a dead person in his heart. Even if he did not die right away, as soon as Ming Xiu returned, he would send people to make Chen Xiu disappear.

"Ha ha ha ha ha, younger brother Chen Xiu is really courageous. He surprisingly dares to come here as a branch family descendant. Aren't you afraid of death?"

Jasmine's voice had again turned sweet and lovable like before.

But even after hearing it, Chen Xiu remained expressionless. The ferocious techniques of Deva clan were unable to charm him. If that was not the case, he would have turned into her follower in Asura City long ago.

The charming techniques were useless toward two types of people: those who were stubborn and those who had firm willpower.

For example, Luo Tian had a one-track mind while Chen Xiu had a firm mind. As far as he was concerned, nothing could compare to becoming a god.

Domingle and Ming Xiu's willpower was formidable as well, but since they were young masters, they had to focus more on scheming rather than cultivation, so they could be charmed by Jasmine if they were inattentive

"Alright, you don't need to continue your flirting. Let's just get down to business. The five of us will fight each other, and the one who wins will obtain Ancient God Lakshmi's soul, what do you say?"

Luo Tian impatiently waved his hand, causing a violent gale to appear suddenly.

Ming Xiu and Domingle looked at each other, then Ming Xiu said with a smile, "Naturally, the one who wins gets everything, but it wouldn't be a battle between five people but rather four. Chen Xiu is only a descendant of a branch family, and a person should have an understanding of their capabilities. He doesn't possess the qualifications to fight with us, what do you guys think?"

"Well said, I also agree to that. How can a descendant of a branch family intervene in our battle? Get lost, you trifling branch family's descendant!" Luo Tian roared in a thunderous voice.

"Indeed, little brother you must retreat obediently. If you don't go, then the four of us will first join hands to deal with you," Jasmine said with a smile.

The four then fixed their gazes on Chen Xiu standing beside Liu Bailing.

Chen Xiu remained expression, but his heart was violently thumping. However, he was still forced to endure it. Even if the four attacked together, they would not as ferocious as his master's nine shadows, but just a moment ago, he had heard his master's voice in his brain, commanding him to retreat.

He thus led his squad away from the middle of the plaza and stopped on the side.

The four young masters smiled but didn't say anything. Even if he had the most pride, he still had to kneel in front of strength and bad circumstances.

...

In the meantime, Brunhilda and Li Yunmu were standing near an enormous tree not far away, looking at the group of people inside the village.

"Yunmu, what are you doing?" Brunhilda asked suspiciously.

"Watching the drama," Li Yunmu said with his complete attention on the happenings in the plaza.

"Wouldn't it be better to let Chen Xiu exterminate those people and be done with it? Why are you asking him to withdraw and watch their battle?"

"If I really allowed Chen Xiu to kill the four young masters, we would be unable to enter Asura City. Not to mention, I don't want to exterminate the ancient gods of Lanlou. Instead, what I want is for the lowest level mortals to understand the goals of gods."

"Goals?"

Li Yunmu didn't reply while thinking about Brunhilda's question in his mind. He could clearly see that if he wanted to move to the next step, he had to destroy the reverence toward the gods in the hearts of mortals.

Afterwards, he could create a territory exclusive to him and attract those mortals. Since the system had told him that there were still enemies outside the five regions, then he naturally had to become stronger.

He had to create a territory where each and every person was like a dragon.

When Li Yunmu thought of that, light flashed in his eyes, and he became extremely excited in his heart.
