Chapter 547: To Believe or Not

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

When Li Yunmu unhurriedly climbed over the peak of the snow mountain in front of him, Hai Yue, Ruyan Lanzhi, and Xie Qianxue also walked over.

Hai Yue looked at him with a complicated gaze and greeted, “Li Yunmu, long time no see!”

As for Xie Qianxue, she didn’t show much of a reaction. After all, she had already seen and made contact with Li Yunmu at the Profound South Sect not long ago.

As for Ruyan Lanzhi, she didn’t say anything. Like a spectator, she kept calmly watching while standing on the side.

“The matter which you told Xie Qianxue, is it true? Although after coming to the Origin World I have learned about the existence of ancient gods, I still feel that we are extremely far from coming in contact with such existences.”

Hai Yue’s expression changed, and her tone also became more serious.

“It’s correct. The matter is related to our homeland. I don’t need to conceal it from you. As a matter of fact, I fear that when we rushed to descend to the Origin World through the Black Dragon Island, it was probably the reason the ancient god came to our home. Naturally, this is just my personal conjunction.”

After the two people met again, they didn’t bother wasting time on unnecessary talks and directly jumped to the main topic.

Li Yunmu’s reason to come to the Southern Region’s Lanlou was precisely to find Hai Yue and was an outcome of his careful deliberations. After all, he was in a situation in which plans couldn’t keep up with the changes.

Originally, he had intended to look for the descenders of his Earth personally and eliminate the dangerous elements one by one, but it had become unlikely that he could accomplish that.

After all, Li Yunmu wasn’t an idiot. Previously, he had asked Underworld Serpent to investigate the position of all his descender companions. Now that he had parted ways with that organization, it was impossible for the enemy to not use this knowledge and make suitable arrangements.

If Li Yunmu continued with the original plan to search for the descenders one by one, he would sooner or later certainly fall into an ambush arranged by Underworld Serpent.

Although his strength had increased substantially, he still couldn’t face a first tier organization just by himself.

Unfortunately... his plans to obtain the Pangu True Armor and absorb the Black Spirit World had failed. Otherwise, if his innate expert armor would have been able to reach perfection and advance to the divine grade, things would have been different. He would then have a lot of confidence in being able to confront even a terrifying character at the level of great circle sage flux expert.

Although divine grade innate expert armor could only amplify his flux energy strength by thirty times, which was only one time higher than his present innate expert armor, there could be no comparison between the two in terms of the formidable defense and unique properties.

In the end, since he couldn’t personally eliminate the dangerous characters one by one, he had decided to retreat and try to collaborate with the three women.

Compared to Man Tian, Luo Tian, Ji Wuxin, Xiye Hanbei, and the others with their wild ambitions, Hai Yue, Xie Qianxue, and even Ruyan Lanzhi took the big picture into consideration. They didn’t possess excessive ambitions.

Li Yunmu wanted them to send out the invitation under their name for all the descenders of Earth to gather. Until that time, he would remain hidden in the shadows and catch them all in one swoop.

This was the only method which could save him both time and effort.

Xie Qianxue glanced at Li Yunmu and explained what they’d done. “We have already sent out the message urgently asking for help. But only nine of our Earth’s descenders have replied and are hurrying at the fastest speed. We used the excuse of a threat of descenders from other planes to ask them to gather. I estimate that it will take around two months for them to arrive here.”

Although he couldn’t understand it, Li Yunmu had always felt that Xie Qianxue had great confidence in him for some reason. He hadn’t expected that after their previous exchange, she would’ve already completed this matter.

Hearing this, Li Yunmu breathed a sigh of relief.

He thought for a moment, then said, “This is also good. For now, I will hide in Lanlou. Once everyone arrives, we will meet again. Remember, don’t leak my whereabouts to anyone else or you will be inviting great trouble for yourself.”

He then said his farewells to the three women.

As a matter of fact, he was forced to trust the three because of his current situation. If any of them pulled a dirty trick on him, he would abandon all of their homeland. After all, he alone wasn’t responsible from obstructing God Undercurrent from regaining his strength.

All the descenders of the Fifty-Fifth Earth were responsible for that. If it wasn’t for the fact that he had been the first in finding a way to return to Earth, then he probably wouldn’t have been the one jump out and take the banner.

Suddenly, Ruyan Lanzhi who had been playing spectator the entire time called out to Li Yunmu. “Wait a moment.... of the eleven descenders, only nine have replied. Aren’t you afraid that the other two might have met with some accident?”

“Nothing unexpected has happened. The number of people replying is fully in accordance with my expectations. If I didn’t guess wrong, then the people who haven’t replied are Zhan Wuya and Blade Devil.”

Without turning his head, Li Yunmu added, “I’ve already killed Zhan Wuya.”

As for Blade Devil, he had never expected him to reply. From the first moment he laid eyes on Blade Devil, he had become aware of that person’s strong desire to work alone.

Perhaps, all the members of the transcending power Bladewood only had the world of their blade in their eyes and didn’t care about Earth’s fate in the least.

Moreover, Blade Devil was the only person among the descenders who hadn’t joined a faction and also the only one whom Li Yunmu couldn’t see through. Given his cultivation speed, Li Yunmu wasn’t the least bit worried that the other party would have remained at flux expert realm until then.

Since it was extremely possible that he had already congealed flux expert armor, Li Yunmu wasn’t the least bit anxious that Blade Devil would be captured by God Undercurrent.

“What?”

Once the three women heard his reply, they were stunned. His words had caught them completely off guard since they knew that Zhan Wuya was the most powerful successor disciple of War God Temple.

Yet such an important character had already perished, so how could they not be stunned?

“Why did you kill him? You should be aware that although the descenders of our world have their own personal ambitions, we act united in front of outsiders. After all, there are many descenders from the other sixty-five planes besides us.”

Hai Yue took a deep breath, finding it difficult to digest the information.

“It wasn’t without reason. I did it only because he couldn’t control his ambitions and colluded with a demonic deity to open the passage to return to Earth before others. He would have unleashed that demonic deity on our homeland. Such a thing crossed my bottomline many times over.”

Li Yunmu didn’t stop for long and quickly jumped down the snow mountain, moving further and further away from the group.

Before all the descenders assembled, he didn’t plan to reveal himself so as not to give any opportunity for others to capture him. The more he learned about the powers of the Origin World, the more cautious he grew.

He was more than certain that before he could disregard a genuine great circle sage flux expert of the Origin World, he had to carefully hide himself.

When Li Yunmu gradually disappeared in the distance, Hai Yue, Xie Qianxue, and Ruyan Lanzhi exchanged a glance with each other. Li Yunmu’s arrival had caused the three of them to become extra serious.

Hai Yue gaze towards Li Yunmu’s disappearing figure and mumbled absentmindedly, “What do you think, the information brought by him, is it true?”

“It should be true. Moreover, if an ancient god really went down to our Earth, then the only person we can trust is him. At least he has already come before us.”

Compared to Hai Yue’s hesitation, Xie Qianxue displayed complete trust and spoke with a slight smile.
