As soon as they arrived in the hall, the family members who were originally slumped over the table with energy lost all sat up straight and looked at Ais.

"?"

Aisi tilted her head, looking at them in confusion.

"Aisi, do you remember what happened when you got drunk yesterday?"

Lefiya asked nervously. Although she had heard from her fellow clan members that Ais must never be given alcohol, she had only joined the Loki clan two years ago, and she was scared by Ais's behavior yesterday.

"I don't remember. Did anything happen last night?"

Ai Si shook her head and asked stupidly.

Loki sighed deeply. She had lost a lot of blood last night and didn't even have the mood to tease Ais.

"You got drunk last night and had a fight with Ye Shanming. You only stopped when he knocked you out."

Lefiya explained weakly. Upon hearing that, Aisi's eyes suddenly lit up and she ran outside in a hurry.

My intuition was right, that man was really strong, he would definitely be able to help me continue to improve!

As Ai Si opened the door, she saw the werewolf Bert rubbing his neck, his face bruised and swollen, rushing into the hall with a gloomy look on his face. His roar reached Ai Si's ears:

"Tiona, did you beat me up last night when I was drunk?!"

Ai Si shook her head and ignored the chaotic quarrel in the hall. She was going to find Ye Shanming and ask him to train her.

In the shabby hut, Lililuka was wrapped in a thin blanket, leaning against the wall and falling asleep, with sunlight shining on her face through the hole in the roof.

"Boom!"

The rotten wooden door was kicked open by a big foot and scattered all over the floor. The sudden loud noise woke her up from her dream.

Before she opened her eyes, she felt a sharp stinging pain on her scalp. Someone grabbed her hair and lifted her into the air.

"Lilyluka, did you get those two dolls?"

Chanis's sinister voice rang out in the dilapidated house. Lilyluka struggled to open her eyes, and her body couldn't help but tremble.

"They were too strong and I failed."

"Too strong? Then why are you still standing here alive? Do you want to take it for yourself?"

Chanis sneered, raised his left hand, and said softly, "Nwankwo, ask me, and I can give you half a pound of divine wine."

The orc who grabbed Lilyluka with one hand showed a happy smile on his face, and then gradually became ferocious.

"I will definitely ask, don't worry, Boss."

Lilyluka's face was filled with horror. She kicked the burly man hard in the chest with her legs and raised her right hand, revealing the short bow tied to her wrist.

The burly orc groaned, grabbed Lilyluka's right hand, and forcibly peeled the shortbow from her wrist.

"I've been beating you up for eight years now. You should have given up on these little tricks long ago."

The orc man exerted force with one hand, and the stinging pain on his scalp made Lilyluka cry out in pain.

"I advise you to confess. You won't be able to find the seller if you hide it. Why not give it to the leader in exchange for some divine wine? You haven't had it in a long time."

Hearing the word "divine wine", Lilyluka couldn't help licking her lips, but she still shook her head.

"I really didn't lie. The operation failed, but they released me."

"Ah."

The two men scoffed at her words. They were all adventurers, so who would be so kind as to let go of someone who had ill intentions towards them?

The burly orc picked up Lilyluka and smashed her hard on the old bed. The bed fragments were scattered all over the floor. Blood flowed from Lilyluka's forehead, blurring her vision.

"We are from the same clan. Don't force me to do anything extreme, Lilyluka."

Chanis pushed his glasses up, his expression showing no change at all at Lilyluka's miserable condition.

"Can the same clan all be so cruel?"

"who!"

The orc man shouted coldly. When Lilyluka heard this familiar voice, for some reason, she felt like crying.

In her blood-stained vision, the two magic chains were like spirit snakes. Chanis and the orc man were firmly bound without much struggle.

No matter how the two struggled, they could not move the chains at all.

Ye Shanming jumped down from the big hole in the roof and landed lightly next to Lililuka. He took out a handkerchief from the breast pocket of the tied-up Chanis and wiped the blood off her face. Then he turned and looked at the two people in front of him.

"Who is the seller who wants to buy the doll from you?"

There was a faint fluctuation of magic in Ye Shanming's voice, and the mental control magic was activated. The divine light in Chanis's eyes quickly disappeared, and he answered Ye Shanming's questions honestly like a puppet.

"I don't know. I just completed the transaction through an informant."

Ye Shanming frowned and continued to ask:

"Who is the informant, which clan is he from, and where is he now?"

"The White-haired Ghost of the Dark Faction is now... uh!"

Chanis suddenly cried out in pain, his eyes bulged out in wide open, in extreme pain, wisps of black smoke emerged from his body, and his entire body turned into black ash and drifted away in a short time, just like the monsters in the dungeon that disappeared after death.

On a rooftop far away, a figure covered in darkness saw Chanis's death and jumped down. Some gray hair floated in the air, giving off an ominous feeling.

The next moment, a slight fluctuation appeared in the space, and Ye Shanming's figure suddenly appeared where the black shadow was previously.

He frowned and looked around. The black shadow had completely disappeared. He closed his eyes again and used magic to explore inch by inch. Finally, he got some results.

He twitched his index finger and thumb in the air, and a wisp of very light black smoke appeared in his hand, which quickly dissipated.

"A scent similar to that of a dungeon monster..."

Ye Shanming stood there, thought for a while, then unfolded the magic circle under his feet again and returned to Lililuka's shabby hut.

"My lord! My lord!"

The orc man mistakenly thought that Chanis was killed by Ye Shanming. The horrific death scene completely frightened him, and his tears and snot mixed together.

"This is all Chanis's doing. He's using Soma's wine to control us. Once you drink it, you can't stop. I can't do anything about it."

Ye Shanming was annoyed by what he heard and kicked him in the neck. The orc's eyes rolled back and he fainted.

He squatted down and pulled Lilyluka up from the ground. The wound on her forehead had already healed, and he covered her head with his right hand.

"How about leaving the Soma clan and joining mine?"

Lililuka hesitated. "The transfer of the clan requires the consent of both main gods, but the main god Soma no longer cares about the clan."

"You just need to tell me if you want to join, and I'll take care of the rest."

Hearing Ye Shanming's tough words, Lilyluka sniffed, suppressed the urge to burst into tears, and nodded vigorously.

"Very good, then you will follow me from now on."

Ye Shanming stood up, took her hand, and glanced at the unconscious orc man:

"Killing is forbidden in Orario. Hand this guy over to the guild. You provide evidence. Is that okay?"

"no problem!"

Lilyluka's eyes were determined, and when she passed by the orc man, she stepped hard on his face.

Seeing this, Ye Shanming didn't say much. He held Lilyluka in one hand and the magic chain in the other, and dragged the orc man towards the guild.

The matter was resolved very smoothly. The customs of the Soma clan were well known to all the adventurers in Orario.

The guild's handling personnel quickly sentenced the orc man after hearing Lilyluka's description. He was directly expelled from Orario and was forbidden to set foot there again for the rest of his life.

"Thank you so much, Master Ye Shanming."

The half-elf teller, Aina, escorted Ye Shanming out of the guild.

"The guild has long wanted to intervene in the Soma clan's actions, but no one has come forward to report it, so we've been unable to intervene."

Lililuka keenly caught the way Aina addressed Ye Shanming. She suddenly raised her head, as if she had been electrocuted, and withdrew her hand from his, stammering:

"Lord...Lord God?!"

"Yes, this is the new Familiar of Orario, the chief deity of the Ye Shanming Familiar."

Aina was smiling, and Lililuka was at a loss until Ye Shanming put his right hand on her head and she recovered from her panic.

"Compared to now, I still like the rebellious look on your face when you tried to snatch it yesterday."

Ye Shanming joked with her, then looked at Aina seriously and asked softly:

"Ms. Aina, do you know anything about the Dark Faction and the White-haired Ghost?"

"Dark faction?!"

Aina exclaimed, then quickly reacted, covering her mouth with her right hand, looking around vigilantly, and whispered in Ye Shanming's ear:

"Please come to the guild's consultation room for a detailed discussion."

In the guild's consultation room, Ye Shanming sat on a chair, and Lilyluka sat quietly beside him, looking a little dazed, and had not yet recovered from the previous shock.

Aina hurried into the consultation room holding a thick stack of information and closed the door. Ye Shanming tapped the table with his right hand, and a barrier enveloped the entire room.

"It's just a silence barrier to prevent the conversation from leaking out. After all, you look quite nervous."

Facing Aina's surprised face, Ye Shanming explained.

"Honestly, among the gods of the lower realm, I have never seen a main god like you who can still control various magics even with suppressed divine power."

She praised him, then put the information in her hand on the table. Ye Shanming took out a book and began to read it.

"I'm not really nervous, actually. After all, that dark period was completely wiped out just over a year ago. It's just that the situation was so horrific that I'm a little worried about causing panic among the public."

As if to prevent Ye Shanming from misunderstanding, Aina explained her previous behavior.

Chapter 7: Resurrection from the Dead & Gathering of Gods.

"Among the gods of the underworld, besides the lawful gods like Uranus and Hermes, there are also evil gods like Erebus and Rudra."

Ye Shanming was flipping through the information while Aina sat opposite him and explained:

"This type of god aims to kill and cause chaos, and their followers also act in the same way, hence the name "Dark Faction."

"However, after that dark period, all the dark factions within Orario were purged by the Loki family, Freya family, and Ganesa family. The remaining remnants were all killed by the Lv. 4 adventurer Gale Leon over a year ago."

Aina sighed a little. Even now, when she talked about this past event, she was still a little scared. After all, during that dark period, more than a dozen gods in the entire Orario were sent back to heaven.

"Lord Ye Shanming, why are you asking this all of a sudden? Has the dark faction appeared again?!"

"No, I just heard about it from the adventurers. I was curious, so I asked you."

Ye Shanming glanced at the fear on Aina's face and did not tell the truth. Tomorrow night is the gods' meeting held once every three months, and he plans to discuss this matter with Uranus then.

"That's good."

Aina breathed a sigh of relief, her tense body relaxed, and she stood up and opened the door to the consultation room.

"All the information about the Dark Faction is here. Please take your time to read it. Just let me know before you leave."

Ye Shanming nodded silently and quickly flipped through the relevant information, quickly turning over each page with just a glance. Lilyluka came over curiously, was dazzled by what she saw, and quickly looked away.

The thick pile of information on the table quickly shrank. Ye Shanming stopped moving his hands. What was recorded on this page was exactly the white-haired ghost mentioned by Chanis.

All the information about the family, abilities, appearance, etc. is available. The only problem is that behind the white-haired ghost [Olivas Actor], the words "Killed in Action" are written in a very conspicuous manner.

Faked death? No, not necessarily.

Ye Shanming overturned his subconscious judgment in his heart.

There are many gods in this world. Although their divine powers were suppressed when they descended to the mortal world, it is not surprising that they can bring the dead back to life.

A moment later, he collected all the information, removed the silence barrier, and left the consultation room with Lilyluka. After returning the information to Aina, he went to the gold exchange on the second floor of the Tower of Babel.

The magic stones from yesterday are still in Lilyluka's bag and have not been exchanged for Orario's currency.

Although the magic stones dropped by the maze monsters on the top floor are not of high value, probably only enough for one or two days' food money, the value of the magic stones dropped by the floor master Goliath is indeed beyond Ye Shanming's imagination.

Lilyluka was carrying a big bag full of faris, with a happy smile on her face.

Although she had just joined Ye Shanming's clan, and even the gift of God had not been transferred to Ye Shanming's side, she already had the awareness of being a member of Ye Shanming's clan. The clan had a large income, which made her happy from the bottom of her heart.

"Master Ye Shanming, I have been an adventurer for so long, but I have never seen so many Faris!"

Lilyluka tugged at Ye Shanming's clothes. She didn't care about the affairs of the dark faction at all. She was just a child during the dark period. In her memory, she was struggling to survive every day and was beaten and exploited by the Soma clan.
