"Eighty percent!"
Many people's eyes glowed when they heard this. If Lu Li could give up the Wicked Bead and the Asmodian Lord could get the Wicked Bead and retreat, many people would be delighted.
What was the purpose of the Demon-slaying Hall?
It was to protect the human race. Nothing else mattered.
This time, because of the Sorcerer God's Poison, the human race's experts could not fight. Heaven Murder City, Earth Murder City, and Monster Murder City had fallen one after another, and the human race was in a precarious situation. They had no choice but to use their Ancestral Artifacts.
Even if he used an Ancestral artifact, could he really kill the Great Demon God?
Even the patriarchs were not optimistic, let alone Ji Zhantian.
Because the Asmodian Lord had the Profound Meaning of Space Transfer, Ji Zhantian would be teleported away as soon as he got close to the Asmodian Lord. Ji Zhantian would be dumbfounded. The Originator Artifact could only last for two hours. By the time Ji Zhantian came back, the Originator Artifact would be useless …
Everyone knew about the Heavenly Devil Great Emperor. He was the True God that the Devil Race worshipped. If the Great Devil God really made a Heavenly Devil Blood Oath, he would definitely retreat.
Ten thousand years later, the Great Demon God would have died, and the Human Race would continue to produce new powerhouses. At that time, the Human Race might be able to suppress the four races.
What would Lu Li think?
Not many people would mind as long as they could get the Wicked Bead. Otherwise, Lu Li would be enraged and there would be a bloodbath in the Demon-slaying City.
One of the elders voiced out his doubts, "Elder Mengtian, can you tell us your entire plan? If it is feasible, we can discuss further."
Many people stared at Ji Mengtian in surprise. What could she do to make Lu Li hand over the Wicked Bead?
Lu Li was rebellious, cruel and merciless. The consequences of angering him would be unpredictable.
"Very simple!"
Ji Mengtian's eyes glowed. "There is an Entrapment Formation in the Demon-slaying City, right?
As long as the formation is activated, Lu Li will not be able to move. Leave the rest to me as to how to make Young Master Lu hand over the Wicked Bead.
If I can't do it, I'll take full responsibility for this matter and kill myself as an apology. "
"…"
The whole place was strangely quiet. Ji Mengtian had used her life as a guarantee, but it did not make people more confident.
There was indeed an Entrapment Formation in the city, but it was not certain if it could trap the Wicked Bead.
What was more, there were many people on Lu Li's side in the city. The Demon-slaying Hall might have a civil war.
Many people looked at Jiang Tianshun, Great Grandfather Three, and the others. Some people even looked at Patriarch of Law Enforcement. If Patriarch of Law Enforcement was enraged, who would dare to support him?
Ji Mengtian glanced at Jiang Tianshun's Great Grandfather Three. She pursed her lips and said, "Don't be too nervous. We are not targeting Young Master Lu this time.
But this is the truth. The Asmodian Lord clearly wants the Wicked Bead. For the sake of the human race, we have to do this.
Not only will we not target Young Master Lu, but we will also reward him for his righteousness. I believe that Young Master Lu will make some concessions for the sake of the human race, right? "
Ji Mengtian spoke sanctimoniously and righteously. No one could refute her.
It seemed that Ji Mengtian was doing this for the sake of the human race. Judging from the expressions of Ji Zhantian and Li Shang, there was no problem in reaching an agreement with the Asmodian Lord.
"Is Ji Zhantian taking the Originator Artifact to deal with Lu Li or the Wicked Bead?"
A bold idea came to Jiang Tianshun's mind. Using the Originator Artifact to deal with the Asmodian Lord might be a bit of a stretch. The Originator Artifact would be useless after Spatial Transference.
That being said, the Originator Artifact would be useful to deal with Lu Li …
"Everyone!"
Ji Zhantian finally spoke. Solemnly, he said, "Mengtian is right. We are not targeting Lu Li this time. I do have some personal grudges against him, but I can make a clear distinction between personal grudges and the greater good of the human race.
I have summoned the Asmodian Lord's messenger in person and the agreement is fine. Therefore … for the greater good of the human race, I will have to put Lu Li in a difficult position.
I promise you that after Lu Li gives up the Wicked Bead, he will become an honorary patriarch of the Demon-slaying Hall. Anyone that dares to target him will be punished by the Demon-slaying Hall. Alright, let's vote! "
Ji Zhantian was about to vote but no one said anything. Li Shang cleared his throat and said, "I will be the first to vote. I agree with Patriarch Mengtian's plan."
Patriarch of Law Enforcement showed no emotion. He said nothing and did not object. Those on Ji Zhantian's side began to vote, especially the patriarchs of the five families. After all, they had followed Ji Zhantian to the bitter end.
"I object!"
When the number of votes reached more than 20, Patriarch of Law Enforcement finally spoke. He glared at Ji Zhantian and the others coldly and said, "This is … risky. I cannot control the outcome if it does not end well. If you insist on doing this, you will have to face the consequences."
With that said, Patriarch of Law Enforcement stood up and was about to leave. However, the patriarch in charge of the Inhibition Formation in the hall did not activate it.
Li Shang said coldly, "Patriarch of Law Enforcement, the result is not out yet. Why are you in such a hurry to leave?"
Killing intent surged out from Patriarch of Law Enforcement. He glared at Li Shang and said, "What?
Do you want to control me as well?
Are you afraid that I will leak the secret?
How about … you kill me and put an end to all troubles? "
"Yes, we object as well!"
Jiang Tianshun, Great Grandfather Three and the other patriarchs stood up and stood behind Patriarch of Law Enforcement. Clearly, they were on the same side.
"Hawk Condor!"
All of a sudden, Ji Zhantian bellowed. He pounded the table and said, "Don't forget who you are. You are Patriarch of Law Enforcement of the Demon-slaying Hall. You are no longer the forefather of the Lu Family. The Lu Family has nothing to do with you anymore.
Once you join the Demon-slaying Hall, you will be a member of the Demon-slaying Hall for the rest of your life. You must prioritize the interests of the Demon-slaying Hall and the greater good of the human race! "
Hawk Condor was the name of Patriarch of Law Enforcement. Not many people knew this name and even fewer dared to say it out loud.
Ji Zhantian's shout in public had made his anger clear.
Jiang Tianshun and Great Grandfather Three's wives were taken aback. Everything in this meeting was within the rules of the Demon-slaying Hall. Ji Zhantian and the other patriarchs were not at fault.
If Patriarch of Law Enforcement were to go against them, Ji Zhantian would have the right to kill them on the spot. The other patriarchs would not have the heart to do that but they would just stand by and watch …
Li Shang and the other patriarchs stood up and glared at the patriarchs. Their intention could not be clearer.
If Patriarch of Law Enforcement insisted on going out, then they would have to fight.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the hall was suffocating. Many patriarchs held their breaths, fearing that a fight would break out and the hall would be flooded with blood.
Patriarch of Law Enforcement remained calm but he was hesitating. Judging by the way Ji Zhantian and the others were behaving, if Patriarch of Law Enforcement were to fight to the end, a fight would be inevitable.
Ji Zhantian was at the Semi-God Realm and he could defeat all of them on his own …
"Never mind!"
After a while, Patriarch of Law Enforcement laughed at himself and went back to his seat. Instead of looking at Ji Zhantian, he stared at Ji Mengtian and said, "Ji Mengtian, you know what kind of person Lu Li is. I hope you … will not make a mistake!"
"Ha, ha!"
Ji Mengtian smiled and bowed. "Patriarch of Law Enforcement, you are right. I will keep it in mind."
"Alright, let's go on!"
Ji Zhantian sat down, waved his hand and went on with the voting.
But what was the point of voting?
Most of the patriarchs had abstained. Patriarch of Law Enforcement only had a dozen votes while the other side had more than 30.
"Yes!"
