There were at least 6000 people gathered at the plaza outside the castle. At least twenty or thirty thousand psychic powers were locked on to Lu Li, maybe more.
Lu Li would not be able to sense many powerful psychic powers when they scanned over.
Many psychic powers contained killing intent. Some were strong and some were well-hidden.
Lu Li felt he was being stared at by tens of thousands of wild beasts. He felt he was in an icehouse and could be killed at any time.
The minimum requirement to join the Demon-slaying Hall was the Noble Lord Realm. There were so many Human Sovereign Realm warriors here and nobody knew how many Earth Immortal Realm warriors there were. Only the patriarchs of the Demon-slaying Hall would know the exact number.
There were so many powerful warriors here. Given Lu Li's abilities, many of them could kill him with a slap.
From the depth of his soul, Lu Li also sensed fatal danger. Therefore, he shouted at once and even used Dragon Roar.
Dragon Roar didn't have much effect on powerful warriors anymore. That being said, there was one benefit of this skill, which was that it could make his voice loud enough to shake heaven and earth. Every corner of the Demon-slaying City could hear Lu Li's roar.
After he shouted, Lu Li noticed more psychic powers were checking him.
Some old warriors in closed-door cultivation must have been alarmed by him. They had to check with psychic powers to see what was going on.
"What are you shouting about?"
A cold voice came. Then a strong man appeared out of thin air. He looked like a middle-aged man.
He seemed to be past his prime. He was Jiang Qiling's grandpa, Jiang Tianshun.
The first patriarch was Jiang Tianshun?
Lu Li was surprised. Theoretically speaking, Patriarch of Law Enforcement should be the first to come.
Jiang Tianshun threw Lu Li a cold glance and then said to Jiang Qiling, "Ling-er, come here. Come back with me."
"No!"
Jiang Qiling stood behind Lu Li stubbornly. She grabbed Lu Li and said, "I want to be with Lu Li. If he dies, I will not live on by myself!"
"What ~"
Jiang Qiling's words caused an uproar. This was the future chosen warrior. How come he was siding with Lu Li?
It seemed Lu Li had taken him down.
Why else would he threaten Lu Li with his life?
"Nonsense!"
Jiang Tianshun snorted. Then, he turned into a blur and dashed toward Jiang Qiling's back.
He was so fast that before Lu Li and Jiang Qiling could react, Jiang Tianshun had already chopped at the back of Jiang Qiling's neck.
Jiang Qiling's eyes rolled up. She collapsed and passed out.
"Whoosh ~"
Jiang Tianshun grabbed her by her waist and rushed out. They disappeared from the hall so fast that Lu Li didn't even have time to react.
"Hehe!"
Lu Li sneered. Jiang Tianshun still looked down on Lu Li and would not allow Jiang Qiling to be with him.
On second thought, he somewhat understood Jiang Tianshun's actions.
Jiang Tianshun might be angry that Ji Mengtian, Yang Xuan, and Lu Suan tried to murder Jiang Qiling but he didn't want to fall out with the four forces over this.
That would cause the Exquisite Pavilion to be surrounded by enemies, and it would greatly damage the interests of the Exquisite Pavilion.
Or perhaps …
The four major powers had already reached an agreement with the Linglong Pavilion, and they had exchanged their interests.
This made Jiang Tianshun shut up on behalf of the Pavilion of Delicacy. Not only did he not stand on Lu Li's side, but he also made it clear that he would not get involved.
Anything was possible!
Lu Li wasn't too angry. He didn't want Jiang Qiling to be involved in this. He didn't want her to be hurt. He owed her too much.
Lu Li was relieved that Jiang Qiling was taken away.
He was all alone and he was not afraid of anyone who had nothing to lose. Worst came to worst, he could take her down with him.
Lu Li made up his mind. He looked outside coldly and used Xuan Energy to wrap around the Ding of Barbarian God. Little White's horns were glaring. Lu Li put on a cruel smile and shouted, "Where is the Grand Master of the Demon-slaying Hall?
If you don't make a decision, I will have to die with the young masters and young ladies! "
Lu Li used his Dragon Roar Skill as well. As soon as he finished his words, many angry shouts came out.
"How dare you ~"
"Punk, how dare you be so rude to the Grand Master? You are unforgivable!"
"Ignorant kid, how dare you. Your death is not to be regretted …"
"Courting death!"
"…"
Shouts came out one after another. Lu Li was too arrogant. He was challenging the authority of the Demon-slaying Hall in public.
Anyone else would have been slapped to death if they dared to shout like this in the Demon-slaying Hall, let alone talk like this.
"Ha, ha, ha, ha!"
Lu Li was not afraid at all. He laughed out loud and said, "The Demon-slaying Hall is the guardian of the human race. We are revered by billions of people. Members of the Demon-slaying Hall are also the most powerful warriors of the human race. They are the founding fathers of the human race.
You have lived for a long time and you are at the peak of the human race. Theoretically speaking, you should have a heart as broad as the ocean. "
"Lu Li is only 17. You are a bunch of senior warriors. Can't you just let a young man like me behave like this?
Today, I am roaring at the Demon-slaying Hall for justice. If you cannot give me that, I will die with everlasting regret! "
Lu Li had thrown caution to the wind. The worst that could happen was death.
Jiang Qiling was taken away and there was no Patriarch of Law Enforcement or the Grand Master of the Demon-slaying Hall. Lu Li felt the situation was getting out of control.
Therefore, he had to take the risk and make a big scene!
Lu Li was skillful with his words. He put the old guys on a pedestal and took advantage of his young age.
If a bunch of old guys were to punish him for his lack of manners, then it would mean that they were petty and would become the laughingstock of the world.
"Hmm!"
Lu Li's idea seemed to be too optimistic. A cold snort exploded in his soul, making him dizzy.
Then, he felt a cool breeze blowing over, and the space around him instantly froze.
Not only was the space frozen, he felt the time in the hall had stopped as well.
"Swish ~"
A hand reached out from the air. Lu Li watched as the hand grabbed the Ding of Barbarian God and then went back into the space.
When the hand disappeared, the space around him was unfrozen again. Time seemed to be flowing again. The only difference was that the Ding of Barbarian God in Lu Li's hand was gone.
"Swish, swish, swish ~"
Lu Li's face was as pale as a sheet of paper. The situation was going to the worst.
The only thing he could rely on was destroyed. He had underestimated the means and skills of those old freaks.
"Whoosh ~"
Another gentle breeze came. A man emerged next to Lu Li. It was an old-fashioned, skinny old man.
The old man reached out a hand and grabbed Lu Li's shoulder, then dragged him out.
The old man was only holding Lu Li's shoulder but Lu Li couldn't move his body, not even a finger.
Little White was standing on Lu Li's other shoulder. It was trying to move but it couldn't.
"Oh no …"
Lu Li forced a smile to himself. Back at the base camp in the small battlefield, he had calculated many possible situations and he had come up with many ways to deal with them.
At the moment, he realized that in front of absolute power, he was no different than an ant. None of the ways he had come up with were meaningful.
