Chapter 471: Heartless

Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy

The chosen warrior!

The idea freaked Lu Li and Jiang Qiling out. Not anyone could be called this. None of the patriarchs in front of them would be qualified to call themselves the chosen one.

Human history had spun for millions of years. How many chosen warriors were there? Only 12 in total.

The chosen warrior title was not to be granted to anyone. A person must have impressive combat abilities and on top of that, making contributions to humans. In other words, the chosen one must be able to beat the other four alien races and contribute greatly to protecting humans.

How powerful should one be in order to face the four alien races by oneself? Lu Li and Jiang Qiling could not imagine it. But how could the Law Enforcement Patriarch be sure that Jiang Qiling was the chosen one just by looking at some strange signs of the statue?

Detecting the confusion, Jiang Qiling's grandpa explained to them, "Ling-er, you may not know this. After the statute of the Emperor of Heaven Reverse was being constructed, there were three occasions of anomalies. Accompanying each one of them would be a…chosen warrior. The golden words on the book are divine energy left behind by the Emperor of Heaven Reverse. It's immensely good for you…"

The Law Enforcement Patriarch added, "Jiang Qiling, on behalf of the Demon-slaying Hall, I am extending a formal invitation to you. If you can join the Demon-slaying Hall, you can become a patriarch right away and you don't have to re-construct your soul. You will have access of endless resources of the Demon-slaying Hall."

"Patriarch!"

Lu Li and Jiang Qiling's eyes were wide open in shock. Patriarchs of the Demon-slaying Hall were definitely the most powerful of humans. Becoming a patriarch of the Demon-slaying Hall would basically let her ascend to the peak of human society. Jiang Qiling could let her grandpa enjoy the worship from millions and make Jiang Wuwo kneel in front of the tomb of her late lover.

But soon, Jiang Qiling woke up from the dream. She waved her hand and said, "No, I will not join the Demon-slaying Hall. It will be so boring here. I don't want to live here."

There were many rules at the Demon-slaying Hall. Normally, those joined the Demon-slaying Hall could not leave. Up till now, when Jiang Qiling wanted to visit her grandpa, she had to come here. She had no recollection of her grandpa ever going back to the family.

For her, living here for an entire lifetime would be worse than dying.

The Law Enforcement Patriarch spent some time in deep thoughts. He understood Jiang Qiling's point of view. After all, she was a young girl, with a whole life to enjoy. How could she stand the boredom and live a lonely life here?

Why did so many warriors of advanced ages willingly join the Demon-slaying Hall?

They were not only here to protect humans. More importantly—they have lived a long life and experienced too many things already. They had seen everything in the mortal world and witnessed far too many sea changes and life and death.

Then, they had pursuits of a higher order.

They want to be like Emperor of Heaven Reverse, to be able to break the void and become an immortal. If one wanted to achieve that, one must avoid the delusions of mortal world, let go of worldly pleasures and think of nothing other than pursuing higher order. Only by constantly experiencing life and death would one be able to stand out and realize the ultimate goal.

When one was bounded and had concerns, one could not fight viciously as one would have fears and dreads.

For a warrior to change the course of fate was not all that easy. If a warrior was not determined enough to let go the fear of death, how could one change fate or rise up?

The Demon-slaying Hall had the most precious elixirs in the world and the Demon-slaying Grounds had a number of miraculous sites. To be here would be an opportunity to fight against the four alien races all year round.

Living here meant being away from the worldly business and free from the shackles of miscellaneous. For many, after they joined the Demon-slaying Hall, they forgot the past. They focused on cultivation, battles and making breakthroughs. In the end, they either died of natural causes or by being torn apart by alien races.

How could Jiang Qiling, a pretty teenage girl, stand the boredom and loneliness to accompany a bunch of old guys in close-door cultivation?

Jiang Tianshun, Jiang Qiling's grandpa, knew how unruly his granddaughter was. He forced a smile and said, "Ling-er, then go back to the Pavilion of Delicacy to cultivate. Go back and tell your father that you are the future Family Patriarch and that you can use any resources the family has…"

Jiang Qiling rolled her eyes and said, "I don't want to go back. I want to go to the small battlefield. I want to go with Lu Li and we are going to get a lot of points in the small battlefield. We want to get an elixir because his friend is poisoned by the Immortal's Perish."

"No!"

Jiang Tianshun scolded her, "Your realm is too low. You cannot enter the small battlefield unless you reach the Human Sovereign Realm. I don't manage the Pavilion of Delicacy now but I am still in charge of the Jiang Family."

"Okay, I can accept that as long as you give us the elixir!" Jiang Qiling extended her hand out and said, "You said that I am the chosen warrior. I don't think it's too much to ask for."

"No!"

Law Enforcement Patriarch added, "The Demon-slaying Hall has its rules. If you join as a patriarch, we can work to secure the elixirs you need for cultivation. But the elixirs are for your own use only and you cannot give them to others. Besides…you don't want to join the Demon-slaying Hall now."

"How can you be so stubborn? Can't you be flexible?"

Jiang Qiling never had a good temper. Now that she was regarded as the chosen warrior, she was even bolder. She stared at the Law Enforcement Patriarch and retorted, "This is your great grandson. Also…your son is poisoned at the Voodoo land and may die at any day now. Are you really not going to do anything other than watch your son die?"

"How dare you!" Jiang Tianshun scolded her, "How can you talk to him like this? Get down on your knees and apologize now."

"No need!"

Law Enforcement Patriarch's beard twitched. He looked at Lu Li with a straight face and asked, "You are a disciple of the Lu Family."

Lu Li hurried on one knee and replied, "Abandoned disciple Lu Li is here, great grandpa. I am the grandson of Lu Zhengyang but I am banished from the Lu Family. My grandpa has been in a coma for more than 10 years because of the voodoo in him. Now Lu Family is under Lu Zhengtan's control…"

"Enough!"

Law Enforcement Patriarch cut Lu Li off and said indifferently, "My soul is reconstructed and I am not your great grandpa. The Lu Family has nothing to do with me now. I won't care about the Lu Family and there is nothing I can do."

Lu Li was disappointed. He said so much to try to remind his great grandpa of the Lu Family. But it was a pointless endeavor.

This man in front of Lu Li was no longer his great grandpa. He was a different man, a man without a past or emotions.

"You are heartless!"

Jiang Qiling pouted and said, "If you don't give us the elixir, then we will enter the small battlefield to get points."

Jiang Tianshun's expressions changed again and lashed out, "No, you go back to the Pavilion of Delicacy right now or…"

"Or what?"

Jiang Qiling stared back and said, "I am entering the small battlefield. No violence can be used in the Demon-slaying City. Are you going to capture me? Then you will be violating the rules here. Besides you say that I am the chosen warrior. Have you ever seen one die easily or one who stay at home all day long and cultivate? How can I become qualified without experiencing dangerous fights? How can I protect the humans?"

Jiang Tianshun is at a loss for words. Law Enforcement Patriarch looked at her, waved his hand and said, "She is right. She cannot become a qualified chosen warrior unless she is empowered by going through tests of fire and blood. Jiang Tianshun, do you still not understand that life and death are decreed by fate. You can never achieve the ultimate goal unless you cut off ties with worldly desires and family affection."

"Alright!"

Jiang Tianshun made up his mind and said, "Jiang Qiling, go and cultivate for half a month. Try to absorb the divine energy in you and then you can enter the small battlefield."
