Patriarch of Law Enforcement sat down after casting his vote. Ji Zhantian threw a glance at Li Shang. Before Patriarch of Law Enforcement's party could vote, Li Shang stood up and said, "The shield in the city can last for another year and three months. The Voodoo Poison is not cured yet. Who knows what will happen?"
"Once something happens and the Demon-slaying City is breached, not only will we die, but the entire human race will be wiped out.
Therefore … I think, to be on the safe side, we should use the Originator Artifact right now. I vote, yes! "
Li Shang's words raised another round of discussion. But the voices were low. After all, the voting had begun.
Many people were wavering. But people from both sides began to vote. Some started to accumulate votes. In the end, the minority would prevail.
"I agree!"
"I agree ~"
"I object!"
"I abstain ~"
"I abstain!"
One patriarch after another voted. The number of votes on both sides was close. Most of them abstained.
If they agreed, they would offend Patriarch of Law Enforcement and Lu Li. If they disagreed, they would offend Ji Zhantian. After all, Ji Zhantian was the only chosen warrior and the Grand Master.
"Agreed!"
"Agreed!"
Toward the end of the voting, Jiang Tianshun, Great Grandfather Three and the others were worried.
The majority had agreed. They were going to lose this time.
Patriarch of Law Enforcement was calm. As a matter of fact, when Ji Zhantian voted, he already knew he was going to lose.
After all, the human race was in a precarious situation. Many patriarchs were frightened. They were afraid that the Demon-slaying City would be breached and Lu Li would have to resort to the Originator Artifact.
Besides, Lu Li had offended the five forces. The patriarchs of the five forces were all on Ji Zhantian's side.
Many patriarchs abstained. Needless to say, Ji Zhantian's side had the advantage in votes.
"Alright!"
A moment later, the voting was over. As Patriarch of Law Enforcement had expected, the Hall of Patriarchs had passed the resolution.
They had decided to use the Originator Artifact and let Ji Zhantian use it to kill the Asmodian Lord and Master of Voodoo Race.
"Take out the Originator Artifact!"
Li Shang shouted proudly. The Inhibition Formation in the castle was opened. Li Shang walked out with the nine patriarchs.
The Originator Artifact was placed in a secret castle with dozens of Inhibition Formations. Only when 10 patriarchs worked together could the Originator Artifact be taken out.
Everyone's hearts burned with passion. Many of them had heard of the might of an Ancestral Artifact. It was said that it was comparable to a Divine Artifact and could increase a martial artist's battle prowess by ten times.
The only unfortunate thing was that the Ancestral item didn't have much energy left. Once it was used, it could only be used for two hours at most. After that, it would turn into scrap metal.
After a while, Li Shang came back with the nine elders. The barrier inside the castle was opened again. Li Shang walked in with a huge dark golden iron box in his hand.
The iron box was more than three meters long, and there were mysterious patterns carved on it. With a single glance, one could tell that this was not an ordinary item.
The box containing the Ancestral Artifact was already so extraordinary. Just how powerful was the Ancestral Artifact inside?
Under the burning gazes of countless people, Li Shang walked to Ji Zhantian. He bowed slightly, held the box high and said, "Grand Master, please take the Originator Artifact!"
"Alright!"
Ji Zhantian stood up. Violent energy spread out from him. His eyes glowed. He grabbed the iron box and slowly opened it.
"Buzz ~"
A ray of dark golden light shone out from the iron box. Ji Zhantian reached into the box and took out a magnificent sword.
It was a dark golden sword with a length of three meters. There were dark golden patterns all over the body of the sword. It was splendid and domineering. On the handle of the sword, there were two characters written in bold calligraphy — Heaven Reverse!
It was just a sword. Xuan Energy had not been poured into it yet. Already, the sword itself was suffocating.
The sword shone with a dark golden light, like the most beautiful color in the world. It dazzled the eyes of the group of people, and many people's souls were captivated.
"Buzzing ~"
The ring on Ji Zhantian's hand glowed. He put away the Originator Artifact.
He would not use it now. Once he did, he could only use the sword for two hours. He had to use it at the most critical moment.
"Alright, let's move on to the second topic!"
Ji Zhantian turned to Li Shang who did not say anything. Instead, Li Shang turned to Ji Mengtian and said, "This is Hall Master Ji's suggestion. Let her explain."
Swish, swish, swish ~
A glint of coldness rose in the eyes of Jiang Tianshun and Great Grandfather Three. They had a bad feeling about this.
Ji Mengtian was not nervous at all despite being the center of attention. She put on a sweet smile, stood up, bowed, and walked to the front of the stage. She bowed again and said, "Dear elders and patriarchs, thanks to your concern, the Hall of Youth has been established.
I have a heavy responsibility and I will not slack off. I have united most of the young warriors in the city. We are working together to protect the human race. "
Ji Mengtian's words were appropriate. She had a high status and a beautiful face. The old warriors nodded in agreement.
She paused for a moment and put on a solemn look. "With the concerted efforts of the Hall of Youth, we have found a way to solve the crisis facing the Demon-slaying City.
If everything goes well, the success rate will be 80%. "
"What ~"
The crowd was boiling with excitement. The old warriors had been thinking for a long time without finding a solution. How could Ji Mengtian say she had found a way?
The success rate was 80%?
Many old warriors stood up and asked Ji Mengtian questions at once. They were not stingy with their compliments.
They stated that if Ji Mengtian could solve the crisis, she would be the greatest hero of the human race in the past one hundred thousand years.
"Dear elders and patriarchs, don't be hasty!"
Ji Mengtian raised her hand with a smile to calm the crowd down. When the castle quieted down, she said, "Ten days ago, I sent someone to meet the Asmodian Lord and we reached an agreement.
As long as we give him an item, he will make a Asmodian Blood Oath that he will retreat and the four alien races will not attack the human race for ten thousand years! "
"Agreement?"
Many people were taken aback. Ji Mengtian was negotiating with the Asmodian Lord?
She was colluding with the enemy.
That being said, Ji Mengtian must be capable and brave to be able to talk to the Asmodian Lord.
"Is it true?"
"What item?"
"…"
The hall was filled with chatter again. Patriarch of Law Enforcement showed no expression. Jiang Tianshun and Great Grandfather Three looked at each other. Their expressions changed again.
Li Shang waved his hand to calm them down. Ji Mengtian said, "Of course. I will not lie to you about such an important matter.
The Asmodian Lord's messenger is in the Demon-slaying City. Grand Master and Patriarch Li have asked in person. "
Ji Mengtian continued with a gentle smile, "As for the item that the Asmodian Lord wants, it is Young Master Lu Li's … Wicked Bead. The Asmodian Lord stated that as soon as he gets the Wicked Bead, he will retreat or he will fight to the death!"
"Lu Li?
The Wicked Bead … "
The excitement in many people's eyes died down. How could Lu Li hand over the Wicked Bead?
Also, if he knew that they were after his Wicked Bead, he would fly into a rage and start a killing spree.
For the first time, Patriarch of Law Enforcement's face was clouded. Jiang Tianshun and Great Grandfather Three were filled with murderous intent.
Ji Mengtian had not given up yet?
The four alien races were at their doorstep. They were on the brink of extinction. How could they fight among themselves?
Ji Mengtian ignored the murderous looks from Jiang Tianshun and the others. She walked around in the hall gracefully and said with confidence, "You must be worried that Young Master Lu will not give up the Wicked Bead, right?
Don't worry. As long as the Hall of Patriarchs agrees and cooperates with me, I am 80% sure that Young Master Lu will give up the Wicked Bead. "
