Lu Li did not give an answer to the Patriarch of Law Enforcement and Lu Renhuang . He merely repeated his command, "As the Grand Master of the Demon-slaying Hall, I command that you open the shield and let them in . I assure you, the Asmodian Lord will not go in!"
The patriarchs back in the city heard Lu Li . They had no other choice but to open the shield . Lu Li was the Grand Master and his orders must be obeyed!
"Buzzing~"
The shield disappeared over the city . Patriarchs and deacons at the city gate made up their minds and dashed in . Lu Li delivered his message with a loud laugh of ridicule, "Asmodian Lord, do you have the guts to go into the city and kill these people? We have millions in the city . Enjoy!"
Lu Li's voice could be heard all over Demon-slaying City . But the Asmodian Lord did not show up . After the time for three breaths, Lu Li shouted again, "I don't think the Asmodian Lord is going to enter the city . Activate the shield . Now, he has missed his chance . "
"Buzzing~"
More than a dozen castles in the city were glowing . Following that, the sacred book on the statue of Emperor of Heaven Reverse gave out a ray of light . A multi-colored shield gradually came into being . People in the city were nervous, fearing that the Asmodian Lord might show up somewhere . Lu Li was holding his breath in fear as well .
The shield was activated . But the Asmodian Lord was nowhere in the city . Lu Li release some Feather Wind . After a while, to the left of the Wicked Bead, a shadow gradually came into being with eyes red as blood . It was the Asmodian Lord .
"Okay~"
Lu Li felt he could breathe again . The Asmodian Lord was intimidated . He did not dare to go into the city rashly . If he had done that, he would have killed everyone in the city .
Lu Li had deliberately provoked Asmodian Lord . Lu Li was trying to gamble . The Asmodians were born to be sinister and sly . They liked things of a dark nature . Therefore, Lu Li believed that the Asmodian Lord was an oversensitive character . Lu Li openly deactivated the shield for the Asmodian Lord to enter . However, the Asmodian Lord would be too paranoid to do so .
The Asmodian Lord knew everything about the Entrapment Formation in the city and the abnormalities in heaven and earth when Lu Li was reaching the Human Sovereign Realm . He knew Lu Li was given the divine energy and when the Emperor of Heaven Reverse's avatar was invited .
A suspicious man would not go anywhere he was not familiar with rashly . What if there was an ambush?
As it turned out, Lu Li was right!
But as he saw the Asmodian Lord, he felt no less troubled . Even with the Feather Wind, he could not kill the Asmodian Lord . With the Spatial Transference, the Asmodian Lord could move out as he desired .
That being said, they did slaughter more than half of the four alien races and killed or captured the other three masters . The city was no longer under siege . It was unlikely that the Asmodian Lord could take down the city all by himself .
The Asmodian Lord was having a difficult time as well . He could not crack the Wicked Bead . He lost half of his armies and it was pointless to re-group the rest . Lu Li could come back and kill those that escaped .
Attacking the city by himself?
But Lu Li had the Feather Wind castle . Attacking the city all alone was not effective . The Asmodian Lord was in a dilemma .
Lu Li thought for a while . All of a sudden, he yelled, "Citizens of the city, listen up . When I am away, Patriarch Lei will lead you . All you need to do is to protect Demon-slaying City . You don't have to worry about anything else . "
Patriarch Lei was a loyal subordinate of Patriarch of Law Enforcement . The latter and Lu Renhuang were both in the Wicked Bead . With Great Grandfather Three gone and Jiang Tianshun poisoned, Patriarch Lei was the only one that could manage the city .
"Lu Li, where are you going?" Inside the Wicked Bead, Patriarch of Law Enforcement asked after he heard Lu Li's words .
"Whoosh~"
Lu Li flew the Wicked Bead to the valley . On the way, he explained, "I am going after the four alien races' armies, naturally . I will go after the Asmodians' city and I will make the Asmodian Lord go back . "
Lu Li could tell that the Asmodian Lord was hesitating so he decided to give him a little push in order for the Asmodian Lord to leave . Offense was the best defense . He wanted to attack at the Asmodians' city so that the Asmodian Lord had no other choice but to go back .
The Wicked Bead rushed to the valley . The Asmodian Lord looked at it and then threw a glance to the Demon-slaying City . He sighed but he had to give it up . The Asmodian Lord vanished into the crack in space .
"Phew, phew…"
After the time for several incense sticks to burn, warriors in the city were able to confirm that nothing was wrong . Many people breathed heavily, then someone began to cheer on a small scale that then developed into a city-wide ecstasy!
"Did we win? We won!"
"We won . We have finally won . We humans have won!"
"Humans rule! All hail Grand Master Lu!"
"Long live Grand Master Lu!"
People were chanting and cheering . They ran about in the streets . People shed tears and cried on each other's shoulders . Some were chugging wine and others shouted to the sky…
The triumph had come with tremendous difficulty . They had suffered for a year, witnessing one defeat after another, the destruction of one city after another . Some had lost all hopes . To their surprise, a young man at his twenties created miracles and led them to triumph .
Outside the city were piles of bones and corpses . Blood was streaming . The ground was in a mess . To many people, this was like a dream . Had they really killed so many alien races? Had they won for real?
Many human warriors' wounds were still fresh . Those that were poisoned by the Voodoo Race were still howling in pain . Those were reminders that this was real . They did win .
Patriarch Lei smiled . But soon, this sweet smile turned into bitterness . This time, the human side won but had suffered a great loss . At least four to five million warriors perished in the fight against the four alien races . A large number of patriarchs and deacons died in battle as well .
Just a moment ago, more than three hundred patriarchs and deacons were murdered by the Asmodian Lord . Another one hundred were poisoned . If the cure for Voodoo Poison could not be developed, then those one hundred people being frozen would pass away .
"Even so, we did win . We have survived this crisis . "
Patriarch Lei sighed . At this moment, someone suddenly came to his mind . It was the late Grand Master, Xing Mu .
Patriarch Lei remembered how Lu Li became known at the small battlefield . At that time, Ji Zhantian was determined to have Lu Li executed . In the end, it was Xing Mu that saved Lu Li and said that Lu Li should have 10 years to grow .
"How wise Grand Master Xing was . If Lu Li were dead, then the human race would have suffered extinction!"
Patriarch Lei murmured to himself . Later, he recalled that before Xing Mu showed up that time, the statue of the Emperor of Heaven Reverse glowed first . So, was it Emperor of Heaven Reverse that saved Lu Li?
"Your majesty!"
Patriarch Lei turned to the statue and bowed . The guardian of the human race must be taking care of the Universe of Heaven Reverse and its people at all times .
Or… had the Emperor of Heaven Reverse anticipated this crisis? Was he trying to train Lu Li secretly? Was Lu Li a chess piece that could be the solution?
The world was the chessboard and people were the chess pieces . Who was the chess player?
Patriarch Lei did not know . He might not be able to figure it out in this lifetime . Maybe, only the ones that ascended to the Divinity and became an immortal could become a chess player .
Or maybe, the chess players in the Divinity were chess pieces to others?
Lu Li!
There was one thing that Patriarch Lei was sure of . Patriarch of Law Enforcement's great-grandson had the ability to become a chess player in the Divinity in the future . One day, Lu Li would follow in the steps of the Emperor of Heaven, conquer the Divinity and serve a great cause .
