Chapter 851: The Decrees

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

When Li Yunmu guaranteed their reward two times, rat’s heart filled with excitement. Sure enough, offending the three young masters and completing the mission had been an intelligent choice. When Li Yunmu had revealed his god level cultivation, he had considered that offending the three young masters might get his wishes fulfilled.

But rat, who had stayed in the colosseum for many years, was not certain that Li Yunmu would agree to what he wanted. Generally speaking, when an upper city descendant treated a fighter as important, they would bring him out of the lower city and into the clan residence in the upper city.

Apart from that, these descendants of the four clans would not provide any other rewards. After all, letting the fighters rise up from the lowest level was already an enormous reward.

But Li Yunmu allowed them to choose their own reward, and a wish which rat had thought would never be fulfilled rose to the forefront of his mind.

A hint of expectation appeared in his eyes and he nervously said, “Lord, I want the children of lower city to study cultivation, even if I have to sacrifice my contribution for it.”

When old bastard, who was kneeling beside him, heard his words, his expression changed, and he knocked his shoulder against rat.

“You are crazy! Lord, rat has spoken without thinking. I request that you don’t take offence,” he shouted out nervously.

“My words are correct. I want to use my contribution to exchange for the opportunity to allow the children of lower city to cultivate,” rat said resolutely with determined eyes.

Old bastard turned deathly pale as he looked at rat with anxiousness. He could not understand how rat, who was always so shrewd, could make such a request in front of a god. In Asura City, bloodline was everything. Those with pure bloodlines became direct descendants while those with impure bloodlines and mutated bodies became branch family descendants.

As for those who possessed impure bloodline and did not possess the different body structures were abandoned and thrown into the lower city. They did not have any relation with the four great clans.

Those who could become flux experts in Asura City and practice cultivation techniques were only the descendants of the four great clans. The residents of the lower city could not even think about it. Regardless of how much they contributed, the fighters could never raise such demands toward descendants.

If the residents of lower city started cultivating, then all the rules would be thrown into disorder.

When Li Yunmu heard rat’s request, he was greatly surprised. He hadn’t expected that such a shrewd person could raise this type request, which had the maximum possibility of being rejected, without any hesitation. He didn’t even care about sacrificing his contribution to say it.

Li Yunmu was rather interested in that and asked, “Oh, tell me, why do you have such a request?”

After hearing his question, rat felt that things may turn out well and became even more excited in his heart. Maybe a complete change which could turn the sky and earth upside down would happen in the lives of people of the lower city.

“Lord, all the people of the lower city come from the four great clans,” he said earnestly. “But because their bloodline is impure and they cannot grow the extra body parts, they are abandoned.

“But since I was born, I have never agreed to this rule. Why do those with impure bloodline and cannot sprout extra body parts are abandoned and cannot remain the descendants of the four great clans? Solely because of something not decided by us, we are the lowest level people in Asura City. We have to work hard every day to earn our living, and the only way to get out of this predicament is to obtain importance in the eyes of descendants of the upper city.

“Why can’t we have any other path? If the children of lower city could learn to cultivate, I believe that they wouldn’t be lacking compared to branch family descendants.”

Rat gave a large pile of explanations, and the more he spoke, the more excited he became. When old bastard kneeling on the side heard him, he began to panic in his heart. Such words were a complete breach of norms in Asura City. Any upper city descendant or god hearing it would feel furious.

After Li Yunmu heard it, he laughed loudly and forthrightly said, “Since you want the children of lower city to learn cultivation, then what about the adults? Your biased thinking isn’t good. I agree to your request. Not only the children of lower city, but even the adults shall also be able to learn martial skills.”

Adults will also be able to learn martial skills?

Old bastard suddenly raised his head and excitedly looked at Li Yunmu with astonishment all over his face. Rat was also extremely shocked. Before saying his request, he had already prepared himself to be rejected, but Li Yunmu had surprisingly agreed. Not only that, but he even chose to allow adults to learn martial skills as well.

Then wouldn’t the entire Asura City be thrown into chaos?

“Then lord, your distinguished self really agrees? If the majority of people of lower city are suddenly allowed to learn martial skills, the entire Asura City would be thrown into an upheaval” rat said softly with a hint of restlessness in his voice.

The reason why he wanted for the children of lower city to learn martial techniques was so they could defend themselves as well as obtain the opportunity to create a bright future for themselves.

If Li Yunmu agreed, then at least the fate of some people of lower city would be changed. However, it wouldn’t change the structure of Asura City and thus wouldn’t attract the attention of the four clans. But if all the adults of lower city would learn martial skills, like Li Yunmu said, then the lower city would not remain lower city for long.

“What, now you are afraid? Where did your determination from before go?. Since you want the people of lower city to change their fate, it shouldn’t be restricted to a small portion of them. The more people, the larger the transformation,” Li Yunmu said with a smile while taking a bite of the fruit in Brunhilda’s hand.

“I am afraid that the four great clans and city lord’s mansion will put pressure on your distinguished self.”

The excitement in rat’s heart disappeared and he began to feel anxious about the future.

“You don’t need to worry about that. Asura city’s structure has already been changed. If you have any problems, leave them to me…”

Just as Li Yunmu said that, he felt Ashbi’s divine presence erupt from the city lord’s mansion and envelope the entire Asura City.

Just as he became suspicious about the sudden eruption of divine presence from the city lord’s mansion, Ashbi’s solemn voice resounded through Asura City.

“The four ancestors rebelled against Asura City, so they were demoted to the position of ordinary residents and executed.”

The descendants of the four clans who were weeping bitterly were startled by those words, while sighs echoed from Elder Council one after another. Various thoughts jumped through everyone’s mind, but before any one of them could form, Ashbi’s voice echoed through the city once more.

“One of Morrow Clan’s branch descendants did a meritorious deed and was bestowed with god level cultivation base as well as the honor of becoming god father’s sixth son, an ancestor. From henceforth, City Lord Ashbi and SixthAncestor Chen Xiu will jointly manage Asura City.”

After saying that, Ashbi dissipated his divine presence, and Asura City sunk into silence.

In the main hall of Morrow Clan, Jiao Xiu who sat on the main seat had heard Ashbi’s two decrees, but he remained expressionless. Within a split second, the four clans ruling Asura City had been thrown out of the window, and in their place, a branch family descendant had risen.

What an irony.

“I want to see how much sand can a branch family descendant raise as he wields his authority in Asura City.”
