Chapter 896: Gods and Demons Descend?
Ah, I never thought it would be like this.
Yeah, we've worked hard for over a month, but the effect isn't as good as just Yu Long Gongzi showing his face.
In this world that judges by looks, if I weren't bald...
Even without being bald, you can't compare to Yu Long Gongzi—face reality. Some people can get the whole world under control just with their face.
You're just boosting others' morale and denying our achievements.
Kong Ming and Zhao Hongmiao exchanged words, each seeing the sorrow and fatigue in the other's eyes.
From their return to now, they've hardly slept; if not for their own great strength and the fact that this isn't a battle, they certainly wouldn't be able to sit and chat as relaxed as they are now.
Thinking is also extremely exhausting.
Seeing that Kong Ming no longer has whatever was on his head, and Zhao Hongmiao has entered the state of elderly people with thinning hair.
What the hell? We've been working hard behind the scenes, losing all our hair, and you, Ao Yulie, suddenly became an idol... Of course that's a joke.
Ao Yulie's dragon-scaled charm, when his power is fully unleashed, can charm men and women, young and old.
Besides, his own strength is strong; although he used to be second only to Chi Jing Dao Ren, now he's second only to Kong Ming, Zhao Hongmiao, Tang Yuhan, and others.
He's more than capable of dealing with 99.9% of God-Demon Walkers.
When he discovers a brain-damaged God-Demon Walker causing trouble, he proactively goes after them, showing the side of a superhero—and does so without any combat losses, perfectly rescuing people.
This situation has occurred more than once or twice; at first it was a coincidence.
Later on... life is like a play, it all depends on acting.
As long as Ao Yulie is willing, he can be unmatched among princes.
He is graceful, immensely strong, most importantly, his looks are exquisite to the extreme, his temperament perfect—like a celestial being walked out of a painting; how could he not be popular?
He is a very reliable man, and many people think so.
The image of the God-Demon Walker is maintained by Ao Yulie, and so is the world's stability and peace.
Thanks to everyone's efforts, the current situation is good, and the development trend is relatively stable.
So, we can settle the accounts.
After a while, a knocking sound came.
Two people pushed the door open and entered.
Kong Ming and Zhao Hongmiao's gazes were sharp, like knives stabbing the two who came in.
Lu Jingtian and Jiang Junren.
The two standing committee members of the Walking Committee, who are also the representatives and leading figures of the Radical Faction.
Furthermore, after the restrictions were lifted, they took the lead in charging forward. Although they weren't the first to cause trouble, they caused a huge, bad impact.
Zhao Hongmiao looked at the two, without beating around the bush, and said directly: "We have decided to remove your two standing committee members' positions; the other committee members have already agreed to sign, you should sign too."
Speaking, he threw over a sheet of paper.
On it was a "Dismissal Declaration", and at the end were the signatures of Kong Ming, Zhao Hongmiao, Tang Yuhan, Nie Zheng, and Shang Wuhuan, written with flourish.
Besides Tang Luo, the nominal president, and Chi Jing Dao Ren, who is still on a mission, the rest of the committee members have already agreed.
Even if Lu Jingtian and Jiang Junren opposed, and even if Chi Jing Dao Ren opposed upon returning, it would still be five to four, passed by majority.
"This isn't following the rules!" Lu Jingtian said.
The re-election of standing committee members, in principle, occurs every three years, or when over 90% of the conference members simultaneously propose re-election at a meeting.
That is, changes to the committee's members either happen through death, or by being proposed at a conference, or through a unified re-election every three years.
Members of the standing committee cannot remove same-level committee members by vote.
"These are the rules you set!"
Lu Jingtian emphasized a point, while the silent Jiang Junren stood beside him, remaining his most steadfast supporter.
Even if Lu Jingtian's girlfriend changed from the previous Athena Fate holder to another, and then another.
Yet Jiang Junren's position at his side has never changed.
Lu Jingtian is unwilling to give up his position, naturally for a reason. Now the Walking Conference, especially the Standing Committee, holds far greater power than before.
The situation the two once imagined is about to be realized.
Under these circumstances, yet they are to be kicked out—how can that be?
They too have made contributions to the Walking Committee Conference, even shed blood!
We want to see the president... forget it, we won't see him.
If we saw him, we'd probably be killed.
"Yes, but in extraordinary times, extraordinary measures are naturally needed; now is not the time to convene a conference, only after a while can we do so." Kong Ming said.
He paused, then smiled: "If you have any opinions, then let's do this—we'll take a step back."
He walked over, took back the "Dismissal Document" from Lu Jingtian's hand, picked up a pen, and made two changes to it.
He added the two characters "temporary".
That is, temporarily remove their positions, and formally dismiss them when the next conference is convened.
Isn't this the same as just now?
You old thing, are you playing us?
Lu Jingtian glared at Kong Ming, who smiled back.
Zhao Hongmiao, however, grew a bit impatient: "How, do you still think you can stay in this position? Based on what you've done?"
"We're just going with the trend! We only made a few small mistakes, and afterwards we've been doing our best to make up for them, right?" Lu Jingtian refused to back down.
"This is why you haven't been sent straight to the Solitary Island Prison." Kong Ming's face also turned cold.
Solitary Island Prison.
This prison was specially established during this period to detain God-Demon Walkers, isolated overseas; currently it holds over a hundred God-Demon Walkers.
Also, many god-demons who committed crimes were executed openly to serve as a warning.
Kong Ming and Zhao Hongmiao's methods are not merciful.
Mercy cannot restore order that quickly.
"You dare?" Lu Jingtian shouted angrily.
"Kid, do you think we dare not?" Zhao Hongmiao stood up, and behind him appeared a pure black knight entirely made of shadow.
"We're just giving you face," Kong Ming said, "considering stability and impact, don't give face, don't be shameless."
The two veteran god-demon walkers emitted an aura that made Lu Jingtian and Jiang Junren feel a bit startled.
These two old guys are actually this strong?
But if they really fought, do they truly fear these two old men?
Face is always earned by oneself!
Lu Jingtian and Jiang Junren exchanged a glance, ready to attack.
At that moment, Zhao Hongmiao's shadow knight appeared before Lu Jingtian, its shadow blade thrusting straight out!
Lu Jingtian's body jerked sideways, and he punched at the shadow knight.
This punch brought a howling gale that instantly blew everything in the room into the walls, smashing them to pieces.
Only Kong Ming, Zhao Hongmiao, and Jiang Junren remained unmoving, their clothes and some hair fluttering in the sudden gale.
Barely avoiding the shadow knight's blade, Lu Jingtian punched its head.
The shadow knight instantly shattered.
Yet it shattered into three shadow knights, emitting black sword light.
The three shadow knights shattered again, and a Fangtian Painted Halberd appeared in Lu Jingtian's hand, but his face showed no joy, only fury.
His upper garment tore, two bloodstains appeared on his body, and a gash was cut on his face.
Lu Jingtian looked very disheveled.
Behind Zhao Hongmiao, black shadows kept spreading, the shadow knight's form flickering, covering the whole room, ready to strike again at any moment.
Kong Ming held what looked like an ordinary treasure sword, but its fierce killing intent had already locked onto Lu Jingtian.
Making him dare not act rashly.
"Your opponent is me," Jiang Junren said, stepping forward from beside Lu Jingtian to face Zhao Hongmiao.
The faint sound of clashing metal and war drums echoed.
He seems similar to Zhao Hongmiao, both being close to the summoner type.
It looked like the battle among the four was about to erupt.
Suddenly, all four faces changed, and the sharp, stern aura slowly retracted.
"Let's go check," Kong Ming and Zhao Hongmiao are both extremely decisive people.
They immediately abandoned Lu Jingtian and Jiang Junren, walking outward, not caring whether the two might attack from behind.
Full of courage and confidence.
Lu Jingtian's face darkened, Jiang Junren remained expressionless as usual, and after a while they also went out together.
Just then, all four felt a vast, powerful aura sweep over, as if a towering mountain loomed before them.
Instantly they felt their own insignificance and helplessness.
Another anomaly?
Soon, Kong Ming and Zhao Hongmiao arrived at the rooftop terrace.
They looked up, and for a moment were silent.
In the sky, a huge, faintly visible illusory figure appeared, the sun behind its head radiating a halo, as if a solar disk behind its head.
The magnificent heavenly sound resonated as the faint figure gradually became visible.
It swirled near the ears, giving rise to a feeling of reverent worship.
Involuntarily, one wanted to kneel before this figure that heaven and earth could not contain.
Could it be the descent of gods and demons?
