775 The World Is Shaken, The Ownership of Connate Divine Weapons (2)

“Everyone, this matter has nothing to do with what we’re discussing today, right? No matter who sent the hero invitations, if he can really distribute some connate divine weapons, it will be a good thing for us humans,” Ji Lutian said. “Now that the war between the demonic beasts and the human race is imminent, if there are more experts with connate divine weapons, it will be beneficial to us.”

“Hmph, so what if some useless people get connate divine weapons?” Tang Qianluo snorted coldly. He also disliked Ji Lutian.

What happened last time had yet to pass.

If he found an opportunity, he would definitely settle scores with these two fellows.

“Before calling others useless, did you look in the mirror?” Zheng Chengan mocked.

Zhang Jiping, the middle-aged man surnamed Zhang and the current leader of the Xuande Grotto-Heaven, smiled bitterly and shook his head. “I spoke too much. This matter has nothing to do with what we’re discussing today. Let’s discuss how to deal with the upcoming demonic beast invasion.”

“Brother Zhang, what do you suggest?” another grotto-heaven leader asked. “Why don’t we dispatch troops and strike first?”

“No.” Someone shook their head in denial. “Even with all the strength of our sixteen grotto-heavens combined, we might not be able to defeat them. Who knows how many heavenly slaves will appear this time?”

“I have an idea,” a shrewd-looking grotto-heaven leader said. “Didn’t someone send some hero invitations? Since they dare to call themselves heroes, wouldn’t it be appropriate to let them test the waters?

“Since we’re not sure how many heavenly slaves have awakened this time, let these ‘heroes’ take a trip to the Demon Realm. Then we can act according to the circumstances and reduce the casualties of our grotto-heavens. What do you think?”

“It’s a good idea, but how can you guarantee that they’ll listen to us? Besides, the people outside are not the only ones who received the hero invitations. There are also disciples from our grotto-heavens.”

“That’s easy. As long as we find the person who spread the hero invitations, won’t he give the connate divine weapons to those fated? Then let him personally bring the ‘heroes’ who obtained the connate divine weapons to the Demon Realm,” the person who proposed the idea said indifferently, not considering the situation of being rejected.

What a joke. The leaders of the sixteen grotto-heavens were all here. Coupled with the unfathomable Ji Lutian, who in the world could refuse their request?

“First, we have to be sure that the person who spread the hero invitations isn’t someone from our grotto-heavens.” Zhang Jiping looked at the leaders of the various grotto-heavens. “Our sixteen grotto-heavens are united. Don’t accidentally injure our own people.”

Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads.

“The person who spread the hero invitations clearly has connate divine weapons. Everyone, think about it. Who has the most divine weapons?” Tang Qianluo sneered.

Apart from the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain, there was only the Sima Grotto-Heaven. It was obvious who Tang Qianluo was targeting.

Zheng Chengan rolled his eyes and couldn’t be bothered with Tang Qianluo.

Hit me if you have the ability.

I like the way you hate me but can’t get rid of me.

Zhang Jiping had a headache over Tang Qianluo’s entanglement. He had asked him to swear that he had personally seen Zheng Chengan and his group rob the secret vault of the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven, but he didn’t dare to swear. Now, he was being so sarcastic. What was the point?

“It’s settled then,” Zhang Jiping said. “There aren’t many days left until the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. In addition, I suggest that our grotto-heavens be prepared. No matter the outcome of the probe, war is inevitable. It’s time to take out the strength our grotto-heavens have accumulated for many years.”

“Brother Zhang, you have a point.”

They all nodded.

Ji Lutian frowned slightly. He was deep in thought and hesitated for a moment before saying nothing.

The leaders of these grotto-heavens discussed for some time before returning to their grotto-heavens separately.

Ji Lutian and Zheng Chengan walked together. He was a rather special existence. Everyone else was the leader of a grotto-heaven except him.

When it was only the two of them, Zheng Chengan suddenly said, “Old Ji, were you trying to say something just now?”

Although he looked carefree, he was actually fairly observant. In addition, he had a certain understanding of Ji Lutian, so he had noticed that Ji Lutian had wanted to say something but hesitated.

“There’s no need to mention it.” Ji Lutian shook his head with a wry smile.

“Why is it inconvenient to say?” Zheng Chengan was even more curious.

“Nothing. I just feel a little uneasy,” Ji Lutian said with a solemn expression. “The heavenly slaves awakened decades earlier than expected. I’m worried that something I don’t know has happened.”

“What could there be? Isn’t it because a demonic beast in the Demon Realm accidentally broke through to the Demon King realm? Didn’t the commotion of the heavenly tribulation awaken Heaven in advance?” Zheng Chengan said.

“I’m afraid it’s not that simple.” Ji Lutian shook his head. “I haven’t thought it through yet. Forget it. We’ll talk about this later.”

Zheng Chengan nodded and asked, “By the way, Old Ji, do you know anything about the hero invitations?”

“If I’m not wrong, you know the person who spread the hero invitations.” Ji Lutian’s lips curled up slightly.

Zheng Chengan thought for a moment before understanding. “You mean… that kid? Haha, he’s not trying to distribute the things he obtained from the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven, is he? If Tang Qianluo finds out, how angry will he be?

“This kid is interesting. Using that miser’s things to benefit the human race, I like it!”

Zheng Chengan laughed loudly.

Ji Lutian also laughed. “You grotto-heavens are too arrogant and self-righteous. Otherwise, the Demon Realm wouldn’t be bringing us humans so much pressure. Now, someone has jumped out to stir things up. It’s a good thing.”

“Old Ji, don’t lump me with them. My Sima Grotto-Heaven isn’t like surnamed Tang. We spare no effort for the sake of the human race,” Zheng Chengan said seriously. “If anyone needs a divine weapon, my Sima Grotto-Heaven will strongly support it. But divine weapons are lethal weapons and can’t be given to non-humans. Otherwise, I would definitely create something like the hero invitation too.”

Ji Lutian smiled without saying anything. No matter what, the Sima Grotto-Heaven wouldn’t be willing to give their divine weapons to human experts for free.

In this regard, Zhou Shu was really selfless. He never seemed to take divine weapons seriously. The soldiers under him clearly had very weak cultivations, but he was still willing to give them connate divine weapons. He wasn’t worried about wasting them at all.

Perhaps only such a person could bring a new look to the human race. Otherwise, it was really hard to say if the human race could survive this calamity.

Ji Lutian looked at Zheng Chengan and said, “Brother Zheng, I won’t return to the Sima Grotto-Heaven with you. I still have something to handle.”

“Where are you going? I’ll go with you,” Zheng Chengan said. “You haven’t recovered from your injuries yet. If anything happens, I can help.”

“No need. The Sima Grotto-Heaven still needs you to oversee many things. Besides, there’s no danger in what I’m going to do this time.” Ji Lutian shook his head. “I’ll go to the Sima Grotto-Heaven to look for you before the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. I’m quite interested in this Heroes Conference. I wonder how many connate divine weapons he can produce.”

“It’s useless no matter how many he can produce.” Zheng Chengan pursed his lips. “Zhang Jiping, Tang Qianluo, and the others are all prepared to use them as cannon fodder. Needless to say, those connate divine weapons will most likely be snatched away by them in the end!”
