The Invincible Dragon Emperor

Chapter 827: A Hero

Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy

Just as its name implied, the Hall of Youth was a hall for young people.

The seniors of the Demon-slaying Hall must be running out of ideas. They were making every possible effort and letting the young people discuss together.

Of course!

There was another reason for the Demon-slaying Hall to do so. Young people were prone to be flighty and impetuous. The atmosphere in the city was suffocating. If not, finding some things for young people to do, things could go wrong.

Regardless, Ji Mengtian’s abilities were recognized by those old people. Patriarch Li’s name was Li Shang. He was a patriarch of great power in the Demon-slaying Hall, only second to Patriarch of Law Enforcement.

It was said that Patriarch Li was a womanizer…

Yang Xuan and Xiao Conglong exchanged their anxiety through eye contact. Did Ji Mengtian score the patriarch position by trading with her body? This thought grieved Yang Xuan and Xiao Conglong. Ji Mengtian was their muse. If she was defiled by an old man, then Yang Xuan and Xiao Conglong would feel better, even if they had eaten ten thousand flies.

Ji Mengtian looked at them. She seemed to be able to see through their dirty thoughts. She casually moved her sleep, revealing her arm and there was a bright red dot on the arm.

“The gecko sand, a virgin marker~”

Yang Xuan and Xiao Conglong smiled a bright smile and the cloud in their eyes disappeared. Their mood was improved. Ji Mengtian glanced through them all and continued, “Go and gather all the young masters and young ladies in the city, every one of them from families above the sixth rank. Well… don’t notify those from families close to Lu Li.”

“Sure~”

Even though Yang Xuan knew that their discussion could not go anywhere. But they were bored and they had to find some assignments to do. What was more, Yang Xuan and Xiao Conglong were more than willing to be running Ji Mengtian’s errands.

Yang Yuan and Xiao Conglong sent some other young masters and young ladies with an invitation to go around and gather people. Yang Xuan was a person with quite a name. In less than an hour, nearly a hundred person had come to the mansion.

Ji Mengtian did not entertain them with a party. Instead, she led them to a secret hall located underground in the mansion. The secret hall was not spacious. The almost one hundred people crammed the hall and they had to share seats.

There was no gourmet food, no music but Ji Mengtian and the other young ladies were beautiful enough to feast the eyes. Since everyone had been bored out of their minds, they were excited to be in such a crowd.

Taking the central seat, Ji Mengtian glanced to them all. After a while, she said, “Liu Changfeng, Tian Bao, Gu Yu… the 27 of you can go.”

The 27 that had been called by their names were confused and at the same time, angry. What was Ji Mengtian doing? Was she thinking that they were her slaves that they should be at beck and call?

“What?”

Seeing that some of them were not leaving, Ji Mengtian pulled a long face. She was growing with fury. The 27 kept quiet out of fear and left in a hurry.

When they were gone, Ji Mengtian had the Inhibition Formation in the hidden hall activated before she said, “Lu Li and I are mortal enemies. Families of those 27 people all have some relationship with Lu Li to some extent. That is why I have asked them to leave. All of you that are still here… if you want to be on Lu Li’s side, you are welcome to leave. But when our meeting starts, you will never be able to leave.”

Swish, swish, swish~

Many people felt shocked. So, all the things that Ji Mengtian was doing today were her effort to go after Lu Li? How could she still have this obsession when not even the Samsara Palace and Deputy Master could not defeat Lu Li?

Many people dreaded the thought of Lu Li’s method and his force. He was at the Demon-slaying City at the moment. If he was informed that those people were here discussing with Ji Mengtian how to deal with him, would those families be implicated as well?

“I am sorry, Lady Ji!”

Soon, some young masters and young ladies excused themselves. Ji Mengtian was throwing herself to hell but they did not wish to follow. Ji Mengtian did not try to persuade them to stay. She only watched them as they coldly leave.

The once crowded secret hall became quite comfortable since at least half had gone. There were less than forty that stayed and most of them were from forces affiliated with the five families.

“Very good!”

Ji Mengtian had the Inhibition Formation activated again. Looking across the hall, she stated, “You are all loyal and brave warriors by choosing to stay. If and when we succeed, I am sure that your families will rise up quickly and you will benefit greatly. I swear in the name of Master of Hall of Youth.”

As a matter of fact, those young masters and young ladies were having second thoughts. But they could not ignore the fact that their families were connected to the five major families. Lu Li would not welcome them even if they chose to support him instead…

One of the young ladies was rather worried. Standing up, she said, “Lady Mengtian, the human race is faced with disaster. I think we should think of a way to deal with the crisis. Maybe… we can have an internal struggle in the future.”

“Ha, ha~”

Smiling gently, Ji Mengtian replied, “Do you think I can be that insensible? What we are going to discuss is a major matter and it is for the safety of the humankind. If we can make it happen, we will be heroes that saved the human race and our names will have a place in historical records. Your families will soar.”

“Really?”

This prospect excited them all. They looked at Ji Mengtian with anticipation. Taking a pause, Ji Mengtian continued, “I have a reliable source of information—the Asmodian Lord craves for the Wicked Bead Lu Li has. Therefore… as long as we can obtain the Wicked Bead, we will have a chance to reach an agreement with the Asmodian Lord for him to retreat. For ten thousand years, the four alien races will not attack us. That will give us a chance to develop.”

“Um…”

Everyone present was stunned and began to talk about it. If they really could strike a deal with the Asmodian Lord, they would be remembered by history and they would be regarded as human’s heroes.

That being said, none sitting there was a moron. Instantly, someone voiced their question, “Lady Ji, where did you get this reliable source of information?”

How could Asmodian Lord just let anyone know what his thought was? He was an alien race and a master of a race, no less. How had even the right to meet Asmodian Lord? Anyone dared to do so would be killed before they could get close.

Ji Mengtian did not evade the question. She answered honestly, “You should all know that we have moles in the four alien races from different families. Samsara Palace has a spy in the Asmodian Race. That spy is a son of one of the important officials. That spy is our soul slave, so his loyalty is solid. This information comes from within the Asmodian Race.”

“Okay!”

Some nodded. Yang Xuan was convinced because the Hades Society had spies in the four alien races as well. The four alien races had done the same to the human race. It was inevitable.

For instance, in the small Demon-slaying Battleground, someone might be enslaved and then turned into a soul slave for the alien races. The soul slave would then be sent back quietly and nobody would find out if they did not check carefully.

Still, someone had other doubts, “Lady Ji, what if Asmodian Lord still attacks our city even after we give him the Wicked Bead? They can breach the agreement.”

“Don’t worry~”

Ji Mengtian spoke with fervor and assurance, “For us humans, we worship Emperor of Heaven Reverse and for Asmodians, they have their beliefs. They worship their Asmodian Emperor. When we make our deal, the Asmodian Lord will have to swear in the name of Asmodian Emperor in public. That way, he will never be able to tear up our contract. Do you know any humans that have the courage to violate a blood oath to Emperor of Heaven Reverse?”

Indeed, it never happened. Emperor of Heaven Reverse was very much alive and he was a real immortal. Who dared to swear in the name of Emperor of Heaven Reverse and then violate it? What if Emperor of Heaven Reverse executed capital punishment?

“The thing is… how can we get the Wicked Bead?”

A weak voice was heard. It was from a young lady. As soon as she finished her question, everyone else quieted down. Those that had been excited and refreshed now were slouching.

They seemed to have neglected the elephant in the room. How could they get the Wicked Bead?

If the Wicked Bead could be taken away from Lu Li, Deputy Master would have killed Lu Li already and they wouldn’t have to be here chatting and talking…

“That is precisely why I have called you here!”

Ji Mengtian stated in her soft and pleasant tone, “We need to exhaust our means to obtain the Wicked Bead from Lu Li. Anyone that can get the Wicked Bead will be regarded as the greatest hero of the human race!”
