Chapter 831: Sacrifice the Wicked Bead

Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy

Patriarch of Law Enforcement took his seat after he voted. Ji Zhantian turned to Li Shang who stood up before anyone on Patriarch of Law Enforcement’s side could have a chance to vote. “The shield’s energy is only enough for a year and three months. We have not seen a fix for the Voodoo Poison. Who can tell what unforeseen event may happen?”

“If anything goes wrong and the Demon-slaying City is breached, we will not be the only ones dying. The human race will be wiped out. So… for the sake of safety, I think we should use the Originator Artifact now. I vote yes!”

Li Shang’s words spurred another round of debate. But they all kept their voices down because the voting procedure was still in place.

Still, some could not make up their mind. That being said, on both sides, more and more started to vote. Someone was counting, and in the end, the majority would rule.

“Second!”

“I vote yes~”

“Object!”

“Abstain~”

“Abstain!”

They voted one after another. The gap between the two sides was small and the number of abstains was great. Voting yes would offend Patriarch of Law Enforcement and Lu Li, voting no, Ji Zhantian. When all was said and done, Ji Zhantian was the only one at the Semi-God Realm and he was the Grand Master.

“Yes!”

“Yes!”

Toward the end, Jiang Tianshun and Great Grandfather Three felt their minds weighted down with concern. They seemed to be losing grounds because the majority had voted yes.

Patriarch of Law Enforcement, on the other hand, remained calm. The moment Ji Zhantian said he was organizing a vote, Patriarch of Law Enforcement already knew that he was losing. After all, the human race was faced with a dire situation. Many patriarchs were in fear that the Demon-slaying City might fall. Since they could not count on Lu Li now, they would have to resort to the Originator Artifact.

One other thing was that Lu Li had offended five forces whose patriarchs here all supported Ji Zhantian. With so many abstaining, there was no surprise that Ji Zhantian’s side was overwhelmed.

“Okay!”

After a moment, the voting came to an end. As Patriarch of Law Enforcement had expected, the Hall of Patriarchs had passed the resolution to let Ji Zhantian use the Originator Artifact to kill Asmodian Lord and master of the Voodoo Race.

“Take the Originator Artifact out!”

Li Shang shouted, beaming with pride. The Inhibition Formation in the castle was deactivated. He and nine other patriarchs went out. The Originator Artifact was placed in a secret castle where a heavy Inhibition Formation was running. The Originator Artifact could only be taken out by 10 patriarchs lifting the Inhibition Formation together.

Many were waiting with excitement. They had all heard about the might of the Originator Artifact. It was said that the Originator Artifact could compare with a Relic and it could help improve a warrior’s ability by 10 times.

Unfortunately, there was only a small amount of energy left in the Originator Artifact. Once it was activated, it could only last for just two hours at most. After that, the Originator Artifact would be nothing other than a pile of iron.

Moments later, Li Shang came back with the nine patriarchs. The Inhibition Formation in the castle was activated again. He walked over with a huge dark golden iron box in his hands.

The iron box had a length of over 10 feet. On the box carved strange patterns. One look at it and people could tell that the box alone was extraordinary. How powerful would the actual Originator Artifact be?

Amidst people’s fervent stares, Li Shang walked to Ji Zhantian. The former bowed, lifted the box and said, “Grand Master, the Originator Artifact, please!”

“Good!”

Ji Zhantian stood up. A surge of rage streamed out. His eyes were sparkling. Putting his hand on the iron box, he opened it slowly.

“Buzzing~”

A ray of bright light shot out from the box. Ji Zhantian reached in and took out a magnificent sword.

It was a huge sword that had a dark golden color with a length of 10 feet. There were hidden patterns all over the sword, which gave the sword its splendor. On the handle carved two lively and vigorous words written in calligraphy—Heaven Reverse!

This sword had no Xuan Energy pouring into it and yet it already made people feel suffocated. They believed that the dark golden glare around the sword was the most beautiful color in the world. A lot of people felt they were dazzled and that they had lost their minds.

“Buzzing~”

Ji Zhantian put away the Originator Artifact into his ring. He would not use the Originator Artifact right now. Once the Originator Artifact was put into use, it could only last for merely two hours. He could only use it at the most crucial time.

“Okay, the second thing on the agenda!”

Ji Zhantian turned to Li Shang who did not explain. Instead, Li Shang looked at Ji Mengtian and said, “Hall Master Ji is the one that proposed the topic. We will let her explain to you.”

Swish, swish, swish~

Ji Mengtian became the center of attention. Jiang Tianshun and Great Grandfather Three felt chills. There was a bad feeling in their hearts.

Ji Mengtian was not nervous at all even though so many powerful warriors were looking at her. She put up a sweet smile and stood up. She bowed first before she stepped to the front. She bowed again then she started, “Honorable patriarchs, it is because of you that we can have a Hall of Youth. I am given an important task and I dare not to slack in my work. We have united the majority of young people in the city. We pool the wisdom and efforts of everyone so that concertedly, we can contribute to the protection of the entirety of the human race.”

Her words were befitting to her position and the situation. She enjoyed being in high status and her beautiful looks added to her glamor. The old guys in the hall couldn’t help but nod in agreement.

After a pause, she continued in a more serious tone, “Thanks to the Hall of Youth’s effort, we have come up with a method that can help us out of the crisis at the Demon-slaying city. If everything goes well, the odds of success is at 80%.”

“What~”

A huge sensation swept across the hall. So many senior warriors had been wrecking their brains without coming up with an idea. Ji Mengtian claimed she had found a way out? The odds of success was as great as 80%?

Suddenly, countless old warriors stood up and hurled many questions at her. Amidst the questioning, there were some praises as well. Someone even said that if she really could lead them out of the crisis, she would be the great hero for humans in the recent one hundred thousand years.

“Please, calm down!”

Ji Mengtian smiled then she did a hushing gesture. She calmed them down and when silence took over the hall again, she finally continued, “It was 10 days ago when I had sent a messenger to the Asmodian Lord and we have struck a deal. If we can give him one thing, he will swear in the name of Asmodian God that he will retreat and that the four alien races will never attack the human race in ten thousand years!”

“A deal?”

Many peoples’ facial expressions changed. Ji Mengtian went to negotiate with the Asmodian Lord? This was colluding with the enemy. That being said, she was indeed capable and bold for being able to talk to the Asmodian Lord.

“Are you serious?”

“What is that thing?”

“…”

An uproar was raised again in the hall. Patriarch of Law Enforcement was emotionless. Jiang Tianshun and Great Grandfather Three felt chills again.

Li Shang quieted everyone down for Ji Mengtian to go on, “Of course this is serious. How can I lie to you about something so important? Asmodian Lord’s messenger is in the Demon-slaying City right now. Deputy Master and Patriarch Li questioned him themselves.”

Ji Mengtian smiled, “As for that thing the Asmodian Lord wants, it is Young Master Lu’s… Wicked Bead. The Asmodian Lord has made it clear that as soon as he had the bead, he will retreat or else he will fight till he wins!”

“Lu Li? The Wicked Bead…”

The excitement in many people’s eyes subdued. How could Lu Li ever hand them the Wicked Bead? As a matter of fact, if he knew that they were here trying to trick him of his Wicked Bead, he would be so mad that he would start slaughtering them right away.

For the first time, Patriarch of Law Enforcement felt grief. Jiang Tianshun and Great Grandfather Three were furious. How could Ji Mengtian still be obsessed with a personal dispute? The four alien races were bearing down on them and the human kind was coming to an end. How could she still think about internal struggle?

Ignoring the anger from Jiang Tianshun and the others, Ji Mengtian stood gracefully straight. Taking a step around, she said with confidence, “You are all worried that Young Master Lu will not hand over the Wicked Bead, aren’t you? Don’t worry, if the Hall of Patriarchs agrees and works with me, I am fairly confident that I can make Young Master Lu give up his Wicked Bead.”
