Chapter 832: The Entrapment Formation

Chapter 832: The Entrapment Formation

Translator: Panda_Penn  Editor: Chrissy

“Fairly confident!”

Those were the words that had given some people hope. They would be delighted to see and hear that Lu Li could give up his Wicked Bead and the Asmodian Lord could retreat.

What was the point of the Demon-slaying Hall?

Its existence was to safeguard the human race and nothing else mattered. This time, the four alien races were gaining the upper hand because the Voodoo Poison had robbed human warriors the ability to fight. The Heaven Blood City, the Earth Blood City, and the Monster Blood City had fallen one by one. The fate of the human race was hanging by a thread and it had become so critical that the Originator Artifact was to be used.

There was no guarantee that the Originator Artifact could really kill the Asmodian Lord. Ji Zhantian was not the only one lacking confidence. Even the patriarchs were having doubts.

That was because the Asmodian Lord had the skill of Spatial Transference. Ji Zhantian would be forced to a dead end if every time he approached, the Asmodian Lord would transfer him away. The Originator Artifact only had two hours left. By the time Ji Zhantian came back, the Originator Artifact would be ineffective…

Everyone knew about the Asmodian God, a real god that the Asmodians worshiped. If the Asmodian Lord could swear in the name of Asmodian God, he would definitely withdraw the troops. In ten thousand years, the Asmodian Lord might have passed away. During that same period of time, there would be births of new powerful human warriors. By then, there was a chance that the human kind could defeat the four alien races.

What would Lu Li think?

That was not the concern. The key issue now was to get the Wicked Bead or else Lu Li’s rage would drown the Demon-slaying Hall with blood.

A patriarch voiced his concern first, “Patriarch Mengtian, could you please explain your plan first? If it is plausible, we will discuss in details.”

A lot of people looked at her, wondering how she would make Lu Li give them the Wicked Bead without making a scene. He was an unruly man and a cruel man. Nobody could tell what might happen if he was angered.

“That is simple!”

Ji Mengtian’s eyes were sparkling as she said, “There is an Entrapment Formation in the Demon-slaying City, isn’t there? When we activate the formation, Lu Li will be immobilized. As for how to make him give up the Wicked Bead, leave that matter to me. If I fail, I promise will shoulder full responsibility and I will commit suicide as an apology.”

“…”

There was silence but in a strange way. Ji Mengtian had gambled her own life, but it did not instill confidence in others.

It was true that the city had an Entrapment Formation. But nobody could tell whether it could be effective to the Wicked Bead or not. What was more, in the city, there were still countless warriors supporting Lu Li. This might lead to an internal war at the Demon-slaying Hall.

Many people turned to Jiang Tianshun and Great Grandfather Three. Some tried to seek views from Patriarch of Law Enforcement. Nobody would have the courage to second the idea if Patriarch of Law Enforcement were to lose his temper.

Ji Mengtian glanced at Jiang TIanshun and Great Grandfather Three. Then, she explained, “You don’t have to sweat about it. We are not going after Young Master Lu. But the fact requires us for action. Asmodian Lord wants the Wicked Bead. For the survival of mankind, we must do this. Not only won’t we fight Young Master Lu, but we will also applaud him for his great deed. I believed that Young Master Lu will certainly compromise for the sake of the greater good.”

Ji Mengtian stated her piece with such righteousness that no one seemed to be able to contradict her. She really seemed to be doing this for mankind. Also, from how Ji Zhantian and Li Shang reacted, there was no question that a deal had been struck with the Asmodian Lord.

“Is Ji Zhantian going to use the Originator Artifact on Lu Li to get the Wicked Bead?”

Bold speculation appeared in the mind of Jiang Tianshun. To use the Originator Artifact against the Asmodian Lord might be useless because Spatial Transference would render the use of it ineffective. But to deal with Lu Li, the Originator Artifact could go a long way…

“Listen up!”

Ji Zhantian finally said, solemnly, “Mengtian is right. We are not trying to fight Lu Li. I admit that I have some personal vendetta against him but I can tell the difference between personal matters and the greater good. I have met with Asmodian Lord’s messenger in person and the deal is fine. Therefore… for the human race, we are sorry but we have to ask Lu Li to make a compromise. Here, I promise that when Lu Li gives up the Wicked Bead, he will be appointed an honorary patriarch of the Demon-slaying Hall and we will rise up and punish anyone that dares to fight him. Okay, we shall vote now!”

Ji Zhantian said that the voting should start but nobody made a move. Li Shang cleared his throat and said, “I will be the first. I agree with Patriarch Mengtian’s plan.”

Patriarch of Law Enforcement said nothing and showed no emotion. He did not object, either. On Ji Zhantian’s side, people voted one after another. Patriarchs that came from the five families, in particular, voted yes. They were stuck with Ji Zhantian anyways.

“I object!”

When the votes in favor reached more than 20, Patriarch of Law Enforcement voiced his opinion, at last. Glaring at Ji Zhantian and the others, he said, “It is…a dangerous action. Even I may not be able to control the turn of events. If you insist, then you will have to face the consequences.”

Patriarch of Law Enforcement was ready to leave immediately as he finished his piece. But the patriarch that controlled the Inhibition Formation did not deactivate it. Li Shang said coldly, “Patriarch of Law Enforcement, we have not seen the result yet. Why the hurry?”

Patriarch of Law Enforcement flew into a violent rage. Glaring at Li Shang, Patriarch of Law Enforcement retorted, “What? Do you want to detain me? Are you afraid that I am going to tell your secret? How about…you kill me so all the troubles will end?”

“We object as well!”

Jiang Tianshun, Great Grandfather Three and several others stood behind Patriarch of Law Enforcement, a clear declaration of their full support.

“Tuying!”

Ji Zhantian suddenly yelled. Smashing at the table, he shouted angrily, “Do not forget your place. You are the Patriarch of Law Enforcement of the Demon-slaying Hall. You are no longer a warrior of the Lu Family and you have nothing to do with it. The moment you step into the Demon-slaying Hall, you have made a promise to devote your entire life to it. You must put the interest of the Demon-slaying Hall first and prioritize humanity’s greater good!”

Tuying was Patriarch of Law Enforcement’s name and few people knew that. Even fewer had the courage to call him by his name. By shouting out Patriarch of Law Enforcement’s name in public, Ji Zhantian was demonstrating his anger.

Jiang Tianshun and Great Grandfather Three were stunned. All the procedures of this discussion were within the rules of the Demon-slaying Hall. Ji Zhantian was within his rights to kill those people on the spot. The other patriarchs did not have the heart to bear all this. Nevertheless, they would only look on coldly…

Li Shang and some others stood up, eyeing the group around Patriarch of Law Enforcement with hostility. The former’s intention was clear. If Patriarch of Law Enforcement insisted on leaving, then a fight would be inevitable.

For a moment, the atmosphere was suffocating in the hall. Many patriarchs held their breaths, fearing that a fight might break out, spilling blood all over the hall.

Patriarch of Law Enforcement still kept a straight face but he did have a change of heart. By the looks of it, Ji Zhantian would initiate a fight if he chose the hard way. Being at the Semi-God Realm, Ji Zhantian alone could take them all out…

“Never mind!”

After a moment, Patriarch of Law Enforcement said with self-mockery and went back to his seat with the others. He did not talk to Ji Zhantian, though. But he did try to warn Ji Mengtian, “Ji Mengtian, you of all people should know… what kind of a person Lu Li is. I hope you…don’t bring self-destruction!”

“Ha, ha!”

Ji Mengtian smiled and bowed. “Patriarch of Law Enforcement, you are right. I will carry your advice to my heart.”

“Alright, keep voting!”

Ji Zhantian sat down and waved his hands. The voting resumed. However, at this point, it was meaningless. Most patriarchs abstained and Patriarch of Law Enforcement only had a bit over 10 votes in his favor. On the other side, the total votes had reached more than 30.

“Pass!”

After everyone had voted, Ji Zhantian stood up and said, “We will carry out the plan from this point on. We will activate the Entrapment Formation and lock down the city. Patriarch Ji Mengtian, the stage is yours now.”
