Lu Li was still resting. Nobody could go in.
He was too weak. It wasn't the weakness of his physical body, nor was it the weakness of his soul. To be precise, it was the weakness of his mind.
The Slayer's blood was overwhelming. It seemed to have burned up all of Lu Li's energy and consumed all of his source of life.
Ding Gui and the patriarchs of the Shennong Race had been pouring their source of life into Lu Li. But that was forced upon him. Lu Li's source of life was gone. He needed some time to adapt and recover.
Patriarchs of the Demon-slaying Hall were relieved to know that Lu Li had woken up.
However, the next day, a piece of news came like a bolt from the blue. None of the patriarchs could accept it.
Patriarch of Law Enforcement had decided to retire. He would no longer assume any position at the Demon-slaying Hall and focus on hiding.
Everything was fine at the Demon-slaying Hall. Patriarch of Law Enforcement's retirement was not a big deal. What mattered was that Patriarch of Law Enforcement said he would pass his position to Lu Zhengyang!
The position of Patriarch of Law Enforcement had always been the second in the Demon-slaying Hall. Throughout history, not even Deputy Master or Third Master could compete for this position.
That was because Patriarch of Law Enforcement could enforce laws and regulations. He had the power to decide life and death.
Basically, the position was chosen by the Grand Masters of each generation. The position had to be approved by the Hall of Patriarchs.
It was not like the Family Patriarch of the Great Land, which could be passed on to anyone at will.
Lu Zhengyang was the son of Patriarch of Law Enforcement, which in itself was criticized. What was more, Lu Zhengyang was not strong and he had never joined the Demon-slaying Hall!
The Demon-slaying Hall had a strict promotion system. To rise to the top, one must at least have some experience.
Only those like Lu Li who had made great contributions to the Demon-slaying Hall and the human race could rise to the top in a single bound.
Lu Li was promoted because he killed Ji Zhantian and Emperor of Heaven Reverse issued a decree in person. Otherwise, the patriarchs of the Demon-slaying Hall would not agree to Lu Li's promotion. At least a large number of patriarchs would have to die in order to suppress Lu Li.
What did Lu Zhengyang do?
What could he do for the Demon-slaying Hall and the human race?
Theoretically speaking, Lu Zhengyang was the junior of many patriarchs. Who would feel comfortable when a junior who was not powerful and did not have a great reputation was above their heads?
After the Law Enforcement Elder gathered the other elders and brought up this point, almost half of the elders objected.
Not many patriarchs remained in the Demon-slaying City. Half of them were at the Ocean Land of the East. When the other half came back, there would be more objections.
The Law Enforcement Elder didn't waste his breath. His reply silenced everyone with one sentence. "Zhengyang didn't contribute?
Without Zheng Yang, there would be no Lu Li. Wasn't this a great contribution?
If anyone is dissatisfied, wait for the Hall Master to recover, and you can talk to him yourself. "
The Law Enforcement Elder turned around and left, leaving behind a group of Elders who looked at each other in dismay. Many of the Elders who had wanted to clamor earlier had now quieted down.
Ask Lu Li for advice?
He said that he was going to oppose his grandfather taking the position of Law Enforcement Elder?
Would he be killed by Lu Li in one move?
Lu Li's brutality was well-known in the world. He had killed his way to where he was.
At the Northern Desert, he had turned the Northern Desert into a river of blood. At the Central Plains, he had turned the Central Plains into a mountain of corpses. Later, at the Demon-slaying Battleground, he had disturbed the peace of the Demon-slaying Hall …
The most powerful force of the Central Plains, the Samsara Palace, the Pavilion of Blossoms, the Hades Society, the Life League, the Yaksha Race, and even Ji Zhantian and Li Shang, all those who were Lu Li's enemies had turned into bones and were buried under the ground.
Lu Li was a killer. Now, his great-grandpa wanted to promote his grandfather to the top. How could they object?
Make a scene?
Threaten and protest?
The Asmodian Lord's body was just brought back by Patriarch Huang not long ago. The Asmodian Lord's chest was pierced through and his head was crushed.
The Asmodian Lord was at the Semi-God Realm and he was wearing a Quasi Relic armor. How could Lu Li punch through his body?
What kind of strength was that?
What kind of abilities?
There was also the Dragon Demon. One of the patriarchs brought back by Patriarch Huang witnessed the battle. Through him, everyone learned the details of the battle.
They were shocked by the strength of the Dragon Demon. How could Lu Li tame such a powerful Dragon Demon?
Become his spiritual beast?
Therefore, nobody had any doubts about Lu Li's abilities. He could kill all the powerful warriors of the human race at once.
Some even compared Lu Li's abilities with those of the Emperor of Heaven Reverse before he ascended to the Divinity.
Think about it …
Given Lu Li's current prestige and abilities, who dared to challenge his authority?
Who dared to pick a fight?
Once Lu Li was enraged, it would be a light punishment if he slapped the person to death. On the other hand, the person's family could be wiped out.
As a result, the impossible gradually became possible. The patriarchs said nothing.
Nobody dared to say anything out loud. Even if they were to complain secretly, it would be pointless.
After three days of rest, Lu Li had recovered a lot.
That being said, he was still weak. He needed to rest for a month or two. What surprised him was that his hair could not turn black.
A young man with white hair!
This was not a good sign. Moreover, if some of his bodily functions were damaged, it might have a great impact on his future cultivation.
However, Ding Gui could not do anything about it. He had given Lu Li plenty of life energy. Lu Li's body was fine except for his hair, which Ding Gui found strange.
"Is it because of the Slayer?"
Lu Li remembered that the Slayer was a young man with white hair. Was it because of the Slayer's blood?
Lu Li checked his body to make sure that there were no other problems. He decided to let it go.
Though he was not used to having white hair, he did not mind his appearance. Besides, many ancient races had colorful hair. He would be fine after some time.
"Buzzing ~"
Lu Li took out the Wicked Bead. It glowed. Jiang Qiling and Bai Qiuxue, who were cultivating, were teleported out.
They looked at Lu Li at once. They were frightened to see that Lu Li's hair was white and his face was pale.
"Alright, don't make a fuss."
Lu Li stopped them from asking any more questions. He pointed to the outside and said, "We have returned to the Demon-slaying City. The Asmodian Lord has been killed. I was wounded but I have recovered. I am fine now."
Lu Li asked Ding Gui to leave and comforted them for a while.
Not long afterward, Patriarch of Law Enforcement came in. He told them that he was going to cultivate and that Lu Zhengyang would take over his position.
Lu Li had no objection. The Demon-slaying City was not a big deal. Lu Zhengyang used to be the Family Patriarch of the Lu Family. He was capable.
As for the patriarchs of the Demon-slaying Hall?
Lu Li did not care.
Patriarch of Law Enforcement then told Lu Li what the Chief Patriarch of the Asmodians said before his death. Lu Li was taken aback.
Others might not understand this sentence, but Lu Li understood the deeper meaning behind it!
"Messengers?
Powerful warriors of the Mage Imperial Universe? "
Lu Li already had his suspicions when the Asmodian Lord knew about the Wicked Bead. What the Chief Patriarch of the Asmodians said confirmed his suspicions.
Powerful warriors of the Mage Imperial Universe must be trying to break down barriers and invade the Heaven Reverse Universe.
In the nine universes and the Prison of Gold, Lu Li was not afraid of powerful warriors of the Mage Imperial Universe because they could not crack the Wicked Bead.
However, if powerful warriors of the Mage Imperial Universe came to the Heaven Reverse Universe, then things would get out of hand …
