The Lord of the Gods of the Universe
Ch. 14 - Small Town

another two hours passed as Yao Jun and Li Yuwen again ran out of the Thousand Monster Forest, and they arrived at the village that had previously been destroyed by the Night Wolf Demon Beast.

“What happened here guru?” li Yuwen asked even though he already knew.

“About 4 days ago there was a massacre in this village that was carried out by the Night Wolf Demon Monster, I went here because the mission to eradicate it also took the Monster Core,” Yao Jun replied as he took out the Monster Core from under his cloak.

Yao Jun then asked Li Yuwen to help create a mass grave along with him, as it looked even worse when the corpses of innocent people like them were left alone.

After burying all the corpses of the citizens they prayed before finally going back to continue the journey.

It didn't take long for the two of them to arrive at the small town that Yao Jun had just stopped by yesterday, the first thing they did was foraging for new clothes and masks for Li Yuwen.

The clothes needed because what Li Yuwen used already looked shabby and there were some torn parts.

And for the mask itself to cover Li Yuwen's handsome face which was enough to make them annoyed as it was when they were checked at the city gate, many young girls were swarming over the two of them just to tease Li Yuwen.

Paras Li Yuwen himself was quite handsome, even surpassing his own teacher who was considered the most handsome man in the empire.

“Welcome .. is there anything you are looking for in our simple store?” said a man working in a clothing store.

“I want to find some clothes for this student of mine, also a mask to cover his face.”

“Please please wait.” reply the man after measuring Li Yuwen's body.

A while passed the man returned with a few sets of clothes and a mask that was the size of Li Yuwen.

Li Yuwen's appearance was better than before, he was like giving off an air that carried like a young master from a noble family despite covering his face with a mask.

Yao Jun paid for all of that then they went foraging for supplies on the road to the Lightning Sword Sect.

“Master please calm down and don't make a fuss like this,” said a woman dressed as a waiter.

“Hmph ... You asked me to calm down after serving arak that feels like horse piss? Don't joke!” reply a middle-aged man with a large body and an angry face.

There was not a single person in the room defending the maid, as they themselves did not dare to offend the angry man.

“But sir...”.

The maid's words came to a halt after seeing two men enter the tavern, but the angry middle-aged man did not care about it.

“I want to get a compensation, give me a thousand gold coins and I will go.”

“Tuan .. that's too much, our store's annual earnings even only reach less than a hundred gold coins.”

“Alright, I will not ask you a thousand gold coins.”

“Thank you old—” The word of the waiter was cut.

“In exchange you must be my slave,” the man said with a lick of his lips while staring at the body of the servant in front of him.

The female servant took a few steps back, her body trembling in fear with the request of the man in front of her.

“Excuse me waiter, I want to order some wine as well as food,” said one of the men who just entered the store.

The angry man searched for someone who was against him and found two men sitting at a table in the corner of the room.

Feeling humiliated, he came at the two men without a second thought and exuded an aura pressure from his body, intending to make the person who opposed him fear.

Other people in the room became depressed due to the aura released, even some of them fainted also ran out because they were not strong enough to hold it.

But he had not yet reached the table, the aura he had previously emitted disappeared and was replaced with an aura that was several times larger than his and focused towards him.

As the pressure they felt earlier had already disappeared, they rushed to leave the tavern and did not want to get involved any further.

But in contrast to the middle-aged man, his entire body became heavy to the point of crouching down and letting out cold sweat all over his body.

“Se-senior .. mo-please senior u-to forgive junior, ju-junior is blind and ti-not see senior power,” said the man stammered and saw water wet his pants.

“You have offended me, and my heart is hurt because of that ... Now how are you going to pay for it?”

“I-it .. senior please don't take my life.” The man then prostrated himself many times begging for forgiveness.

Another man sitting at the table chuckled little looking at the one that had just happened in front of him, “Teacher, looks like you're a little overboard.”

“Really? All right I'll stop,” replied the other man.

“Muridku asked me to stop, now get out of this city and never come back, otherwise...”.

Yao Jun had yet to finish his words but the prostrating man quickly ran out of the tavern and left the city.

Yao Jun laughed at the man's behavior and then went back to calling the frightened maidservant earlier to order wine and food.

The middle-aged man ran out of the city as far as he could, and when he felt that it was far enough as well that no one was following, he stopped his steps and regulated his breathing.

“Sial! Shit! .. why can there be a high level cultivator in such a small place,” said the middle-aged man while hitting the tree beside him, making the tree fall.

“I who is still in the 3rd class Fana level is lucky to still be let live by that senior who is in the King level of class 3.”

The man sighed then appeared three men in red robes with the emblem of three mountains as well as a mask on the face.

“Who are you?” the middle-aged man asked in fear because the three men in front of him were of a higher level than him.

“Do not be afraid, we just want to ask you something,” replied one of the people in front of him.
