Chapter 843: Patience

Everything was settled. The ending of this fight was unexpected. Ji Zhantian lost his life and so did many others. Lu Li had come to power, and he was now the new Grand Master of Demon-slaying Hall.

Grand Masters of the Demon-slaying Hall were usually the most powerful warriors of humankind. Lu Li was too young for that and his speed of development was so fast that many people found it unacceptable.

It was particularly true for the patriarchs. Some of them had lived for seven to eight hundred years whereas Lu Li was only in his twenties. To those patriarchs, Lu Li was no different from a newborn calf…

But this newborn calf was above them all. He was the new Grand Master of Demon-slaying Hall and he could decide the fate for many people.

This felt like a dream to many. If it were not for the strong smell of blood in the city, many people would never accept the fact.

Lu Li went to the Hall of Patriarchs with a group of people. Someone started to dispose of the bodies and Jiang Tianshun dealt with the aftermath.

In the hall, Lu Li went directly to the center seat. Looking at Patriarch of Law Enforcement, he said, “Patriarch of Law Enforcement, from today on, you will be in charge of all affairs of the Demon-slaying Hall. Execute all that will not heed to your orders.”

Patriarch of Law Enforcement stood up, cupped his fists and answered, “Yes!”

The other patriarchs were in heated discussion. They had heard that Lu Li was a hands-off boss. It seemed that he was the nominal Grand Master, while the real one taking control was Patriarch of Law Enforcement.

Lu Li nodded and continued, “Take a close look into the powerful warriors and talents of Ji Zhantian’s side. If you find any escaped, kill them or deal with them in some special ways. Do not let anyone slide. Otherwise, when we fight with the four alien races, they will come and stab us at the back.”

After this, Lu Li had no soft spot in his heart for his enemies. It would be himself, his friends, and families that would take a beating if his enemies were allowed to stay alive.

Destroy evil, leaving no chance for its revival!

Never had the illusion that enemies would come to terms with you and would not resort to any tricks just because of fear. Those enemies that were pardoned would stab you in the back given the chance. Therefore, Lu Li chose to tear all his enemies apart, so that they would be deprived of future chances to come back.

Patriarch of Law Enforcement nodded. Since it was Lu Li’s wish, he would definitely carry through the order. Patriarch of Law Enforcement thought of another matter which made him frown. He stood up and asked, “Grand Master, you mentioned that you are confident to fight the four alien races.”

“Yes, but I need to cultivate for a bit longer!”

Lu Li nodded. Having learned the Profound Meaning on Feather Wind, he could generate endless supplies of it, which had given him the confidence to face the four alien races.

Ji Zhantian was at the initial stage of the Semi-God Realm and so was the Asmodian Lord. Their souls should be of about similar levels. There was a chance that Lu Li could kill the Asmodian Lord since Ji Zhantian died in his hands.

But he needed to study the Feather Wind further to see how he could better apply Feather Wind in stronger attacks and defense!

“Alright!”

Lu Li’s answer was a reassurance. Recalling how even Ji Zhantian was trapped by the dragons of wind, the patriarchs had more faith.

Lu Li’s position as the Grand Master was not stable yet because secretly, many people still would not accept him in his position. But if Lu Li could defeat the four alien races, then things would be different for that and it would be a grand contribution to mankind.

“Father, stay and help out Patriarch of Law Enforcement. Take complete control of the city. I don’t want anyone to do any monkey business behind our backs!”

Lu Li looked at Lu Renhuang who nodded in determination. The latter was enraged by the fact that Ji Zhantian had attempted to set them up. Born in the Lu Family, Lu Renhuang was not a wishy-washy type of person. He could slaughter without batting an eyelid.

Lu Li then asked some questions about the Inferno. He asked Patriarch of Law Enforcement to dispatch someone to the Inferno and Mystic Armor City to have a look, in case Ji Mengtian had some backup plans for those places.

With all that done, Lu Li returned to the Wicked Bead with Jiang Qiling and Little White, leaving all the matters to be handled by Patriarch of Law Enforcement and Lu Renhuang.

Ji Zhantian had died and enough patriarchs were killed. In the city, nobody could compete with Patriarch of Law Enforcement and Lu Renhuang now. Even if there were, they would not have the courage to do anything ill-advised.

Lu Li was cultivating again. But the city had not returned to peace. All the core members of Ji Zhantian’s side were being arrested. Patriarch of Law Enforcement had made it clear that they would rather capture all, just for one.

That being said, Patriarch of Law Enforcement did not have those people killed. He had them rebuilt their souls so that they could forget about pass feuds and focus on devoting their lives to the Demon-slaying Hall.

Those people included Lu Zhengtian and Lu Tiandi. The two of them were not part of this setup. They had erased their previous memories. They only heard people telling them what Lu Li had done. However, without recollections of past events, they no longer had such deep-rooted hatred.

Rebuilding the soul would be the same as “brainwashing”. Those warriors would have nothing on their mind, other than to follow orders of the Demon-slaying Hall and commit their lives there.

Lu Li was now the Grand Master of the Demon-slaying Hall, a warrior that all the others of the Demon-slaying Hall must submit themselves to. Therefore, those that had their souls rebuilt would no longer be unfaithful to Lu Li any longer.

The city had millions of warriors with many of the powerful ones from different families, including those from the Hades Society. That being said, none of them dared to do anything right now. They didn’t even have the courage to revolt when Yang Bucheng, Yang Xuan and Yang Yu were being executed, let alone at the current moment when the arrest was underway

The moment Ji Zhantian passed away was the moment Lu Li rose up like a star. Nobody of the entire Heaven Reverse Universe could cloud his light and nobody could say no to his orders.

Winner takes it all!

Defeat must be admitted as such. Those dared to make a sense of evil would face annihilation of their families. Lu Li might spare them alive, but their enemy families would not fail on a chance to kick them when they were down.

Therefore, the only option now was to exercise restraint!

They must endure the humiliation for their families. They must bear all the shame coming their way. It was not uncommon at the Great Land. It happened to the Cyan Phoenix Race and the Mammoth Race. They even were afraid to set foot in the Central Plains…

Situations changed drastically at the Demon-slaying Hall. People were in a constant state of anxiety. The threat of the four alien races was hanging over everyone’s head like a sword. To make things worse, the human races were having internal conflict!

The human race was already at a disadvantage. Now with Ji Zhantian gone, would the human race be able to survive the attacks from the four alien races? This was a question millions of people were asking day and night.

“Boom, boom, boom~”

The second day after Lu Li began closed-door cultivation, four alien races came back, only this time, with the absence of the Asmodian Lord. Only hundreds of thousands were sent over to attack the city shield.

On the fourth day of the attack, making sure that nothing was going wrong, the Asmodian Lord showed up. The four alien races armies that retreated returned to attack at the shield.

The smell of blood was still lingering in the city. The law enforcement was still hunting criminals down. Many were sent to the prisons where their souls were rebuilt. The atmosphere in the city continued to grow gloomy. Many people were on the brink of losing their minds.

But on the eight-day, a piece of news got out that cheered up warriors in the city—Lu Li was going to come out from cultivation in half a month. He would go and fight the Asmodian Lord in person. He was confident that he could defeat the four alien races all by himself.

The news was authentic. As a matter of fact, It came from the Hall of Patriarchs. It was Jiang Qiling’s grandfather that sent out this news. It was said that Jiang Qiling came out from the Wicked Bead today, just to tell others about the information to settle everyone down.

Half a month!

Hope came back to the heart of many people. Their fighting spirit was soaring aloft. The outcome would be determined in half a month. Would the young man, who had been creating miracles, be able to make vigorous efforts to turn the situation and defeat the four alien races?

People anticipated to see.
