"Count me in."
"I've been annoyed by this guy's bedroom eyes for a long time anyway!"
"Fine, I won't compete with you for the right to punch this guy in the eyes."
"If we don't beat this guy into a pig's head, the anger in my heart won't be easily appeased!"
"How is a single beating enough? Personally, I suggest we beat him for a whole day!"
"Isn't that a bit too harsh? Let me take over the beating for half of that day instead!"
"Hahaha, then this old man will also loosen up my muscles and bones when the time comes!"
"This kind of person, sure enough, is just asking for a beating!"
At this moment, following what Xiao Lin said, the other eight Formation Masters also spoke up one after another. It was clear that after learning the truth, although everyone was still angry, they deeply admired Ji Li's resolve.
After all, if they were placed in Ji Li's position, who would dare to utter such words, and who would dare to come to this kind of unknown place to eradicate a demon? It could be said that everyone simultaneously admired Ji Li.
Such a person should not die here! This was everyone's collective view.
At this time, along with everyone expressing their stance, a slight change finally appeared on Ji Li's perpetually cynical face. Pouting his lips, Ji Li actually had a lot of words he wanted to say right now.
"Thank you."
However, in the end, he only uttered these two words.
That was his gratitude for everyone's understanding of him!
"Alright, as for the rest of the words, we can't be bothered to say much more, let's talk about it after this matter is over." At this moment, Xiao Lin also spoke up, interrupting this scene that looked a bit too emotional.
It wasn't as if they were truly bound to die, so why make it so sorrowful? Just how strong that so-called demon was, no one could guarantee!
However, everyone also believed that after so many years, even if that demon had once been incredibly powerful, it absolutely would no longer be at its peak condition today.
Furthermore, that legendary last Ancient Heavenly Phoenix of the Dou Qi Continent was not someone to be trifled with either. Even if the other party had fallen. Presumably, while it was alive, it must have also caused considerable damage to that so-called demon.
This was everyone's chance.
"Good, then our code name for this operation shall be called Demon Eradication!"
"Smack"
Just as Ji Li's voice fell, Xiao Lin slapped a hand right onto his shoulder.
"Stop being so cocky, you bastard, you tricked us, and yet you still want to continue putting on the airs of a boss? From now on, you are stripped of all command rights, you only need to be responsible for providing intelligence! Any objections?"
Xiao Lin glanced at Ji Li, who had become high-spirited again, and asked.
"I... have no objections, whatever you say goes." Ji Li, who originally wanted to talk back, instantly withered away guiltily after seeing Xiao Lin and the others all cast their gazes upon him.
To be fair, after he had tricked everyone, it truly was no longer appropriate for him to continue commanding. Although everyone also believed that Ji Li had nothing else hidden from them, they still had to give this lawless guy a lesson, right?
"Fine, then next just listen to me, Ji Li, tell us about what you know regarding that demon."
Xiao Lin's own cultivation level was the same as Ji Li's, and he was also the one with the highest level of formation expertise among everyone, so regarding him taking command, the others naturally would not object.
"Then you are asking the wrong person, what I know is only this much, according to what my ancestor said, before we entered, this place should have been in a state of balance."
"Then, can we understand it as there being an existence that is still fighting against that demon? As for who that existence is, everyone should have an idea in their hearts, right?" Ji Li shrugged his shoulders and voiced his analysis.
"Going by that logic, that Ancient Heavenly Phoenix shouldn't have completely fallen yet! Otherwise, that demon probably would have started crashing against the seal here a long time ago."
"However, considering that the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix hasn't shown itself even after we've been inside for so long, its condition is obviously not much better either. Therefore, our primary task right now should be to find that Ancient Heavenly Phoenix!"
Xiao Lin also made his own judgment at this moment.
"Agreed!" Zuo He nodded.
After thinking for a moment, the rest of the people likewise expressed their agreement. Finding that Ancient Heavenly Phoenix and combining it with their strength would be the best chance to defeat that unknown demon! On this point, everyone else could figure it out.
"In that case..." Seeing that no one objected, Xiao Lin first cast his gaze toward the distant sky!
Over there stood a towering ancient tree!
It was also a black parasol tree, but it possessed a height that almost vanished into the clouds.
At the same time, Ji Li and the others also looked over following Xiao Lin's gaze.
"I have a strong feeling that place should be our objective!" Xiao Lin guessed with absolute certainty.
"Indeed, that parasol tree is clearly different from the others." Ji Li expressed his agreement.
"Then let's take that giant parasol tree as our objective!" Zuo He, representing the rest of the Formation Masters, also voiced his opinion.
"This is naturally not a problem, but before setting out, we still need to make some preparations! Everyone, do you have any means of self-protection or combating enemies?" Xiao Lin's words were naturally directed at these eight Formation Masters.
A guy like Ji Li didn't need him to worry at all.
As Xiao Lin's voice fell, only Zuo He, Weng Xing, and Baili Qing, the three Formation Masters whose Dou Qi cultivation levels had reached Dou Zun, each pulled out a formation plate.
As for the remaining five Formation Masters who only had Dou Zong cultivation levels, they looked at each other one by one, looking a bit embarrassed. Very clearly, they likely hadn't mastered the technique of creating formation plates.
But thinking about it, it made sense; the remaining five were currently only Dou Zong, so the items they possessed were naturally inferior to those of the few Dou Zun.
Although a Dou Zong cultivation level wasn't considered weak on the outside, it was clearly not enough to face that unknown demon. Seeing this, Xiao Lin didn't say anything and directly began pulling items out from his storage ring.
Before long, he distributed a high-rank formation plate into the hands of each of the remaining five Dou Zong Formation Masters.
"This..."
Seeing this 'lavishly' inhumane side of Xiao Lin, everyone present, including those three Dou Zun Formation Masters, was completely dumbfounded.
Could high-rank formation plates be wholesaled like this?
"You guys don't need to show this kind of expression, Brother Lin is a mega-tycoon, there's no telling how many high-rank formation plates he has on him, just take them with peace of mind."
Looking at the hesitant individuals, Ji Li chimed in to help at this moment.
These high-rank formation plates were temporarily crafted by Xiao Lin during the final half-year before heading out for his three-year agreement with Ji Li. What he feared was a 'just in case' scenario.
He hadn't expected that they would truly come in handy at this moment!
"Take them, no need to be polite, everyone is in the same boat now, and since we've all decided to help Ji Li eradicate the demon, we naturally must have something for self-defense." Xiao Lin first rolled his eyes at Ji Li, then opened his mouth to explain.
"Alright, we understand, then consider these formation plates as something we are borrowing from Brother Lin first, once the demon eradication is over, we will naturally return these formation plates!" Wu Yunfeng also spoke up at this moment on behalf of the remaining few people.
At this point, this operation of demon eradication had finally begun!
