Chapter 714: Chapter 306: The Name of the Round Table Conference
The idea of hunting an enslaved angel did not instill fear among the members of the Round Table Conference, but rather excitement.
"The combat power of an enslaved angel is average; the key is to capture his true form. If he successfully transfers his soul, it will be quite troublesome," said Christian.
This time, there was no sarcasm towards Gemini. He acknowledged Gemini’s point because the path of the Law Enforcer is inherently challenging, often resulting in unappreciated efforts or mismatched difficulties. As such, the path rarely produces strong individuals. However, what can he do? He is a member of the Round Table Conference.
"The true form has been identified, but he is a significant figure in Dragon Capital. Direct action is inadvisable due to his status, so it needs to be handled secretly, and there is only one chance," Li Xin said.
Li Xin understood clearly how threatening it could be if Ji Sheng noticed his maneuvers without being cleanly eliminated.
"First, you need to find a situation where his true form will definitely appear. The Barrier Master can counter the Puppet Master. Just lure him into the Soul-Locking Barrier and kill him," Christian said.
"Yes, so I need help. How can we make the true form of the enslaved angel appear, and how do we determine if it’s his true form? Furthermore, capturing him requires a Barrier Master to keep him from escaping," Li Xin said.
The Round Table Conference fell silent. Batty wished to participate, but he couldn’t get out and could only watch the others longingly. This must be a test from the gentleman for everyone, but unfortunately, he was not yet qualified to participate.
In Batty’s eyes, using an angel for a small test was quite normal.
Simmons licked his lips; following Brother Li would lead to benefits. He ate well in Hedan, but now far away, he couldn’t reach; he was anxious and didn’t know what to do.
"I might have a way to make the enslaved angel’s true form appear, but we’ll need to discuss the specifics," Estella said.
Everyone’s eyes lit up. "I have a method to identify the true form. It’s a secret technique from the Nether God’s Court for distinguishing souls, our specialty. The soul of a puppet is different from the soul of the true form," Cantona said.
Among the Seven Great Churches, the Nether God’s Court possesses the most methods related to souls, stemming from their faith in divine authority.
"You guys are quite naive. Let alone whether you can defeat the Slave Master, even if you do, neither the Song of Hell nor the forces behind him will ever let you go. How are you going to evade the Life Master, the Diviner, and the Prophet?" Christian said unemotionally. "I’m not concerned about your life or death; I just don’t want the Round Table Conference to lose people."
"Mr. Cancer, I think it would be best to conduct the trial in the name of the Round Table Conference. That way, no matter how it’s reasoned, it won’t be fake. As for evading pursuit, there is a way; as long as we return our souls to the Round Table Conference after the mission, any tracking marks on us will be removed. I’ve tried it several times. Once, I was marked with a Tiss by the Slave Master, but after returning to the Round Table Conference, the Tiss disappeared," Li Xin said.
Christian frowned slightly, "Seems uncertain, what if it fails?"
"Ahem, I can testify to that. I’ve had similar experiences. Additionally, Miss Virgo once said that the Round Table Conference can ensure our souls are not marked, not even by a deity," Cantona said.
Everyone looked at the vacant seat of Miss Virgo; she wasn’t there, but the task was still done. They then turned their gazes to Mr. Cancer.
Christian glanced at Virgo’s seat and nodded, "That should be reliable. However, Gemini, are you confident in killing a puppet angel in a short time? Though the front-line battle power of the Puppet Master is not the strongest, an elder angel’s puppets will not be few. If he pulls out a knightly path angel puppet, it wouldn’t be surprising. Can you handle it?"
Li Xin thought for a moment, "Shouldn’t be a problem."
"Shouldn’t?"
Christian’s skeptical voice emerged, and everyone again looked at Mr. Gemini.
"No problem, I can handle it," Li Xin said. "The more pressing issue is where to find such a powerful Barrier Master. And once such a strong Barrier Master is discovered, with this person’s cautious nature, it would be difficult to see his true form."
The Round Table Conference fell back into thought; the path of retro angels is tough, but once achieved, they hold unique domains, making them very formidable. The enslaved angel is sly, backing the Song of Hell, and exposing him is extremely dangerous.
Simmons felt very excited and stimulated; Brother Li is targeting the Song of Hell, indicating that what the Song of Hell did in Hedan greatly displeased Brother Li.
Brother Li mighty, take him down!
"That’s simple. Set a time, and you bring a crystal ball. Call me then, and I’ll set up a barrier for you," Christian said.
Cantona and others glanced at Mr. Cancer, "Mr. Cancer, is a crystal ball enough, or do we need other powerful tools for setting up the barrier?"
Everyone was somewhat anxious. The use of a crystal ball as a medium implied Mr. Cancer wouldn’t be present but would perform through a spirit medium. If it were an ordinary matter, it might be fine, but wanting to confine an angel and using remote casting seemed overconfident.
"Mr. Cancer, be cautious. If you can’t constrain him, it will be difficult to have a second chance, and Mr. Gemini will be exposed. The target is the singer of the Song of Hell," Simmons thought for a moment and said.
He was concerned that the puppet angel would escape, making it hard to catch him again, and provoking the Song of Hell would be a significant nuisance.
Their current plan required efficiently eliminating the target to avoid future troubles, with the Barrier Master being the most crucial link.
"Mr. Cancer, this is the hardest part. The opponent is an angel on the Puppet Master’s path, extremely cautious, surely aware of his weaknesses. There’s no second chance if danger is sensed, and he should have a powerful Life Master beside him, able to sense danger," Li Xin chuckled bitterly.
"What nonsense are you spewing? Can a mere Life Master predict my actions?" Christian said calmly.
Everyone looked at Mr. Cancer, then at Mr. Gemini, unsure of what to say. Though it was the Four Lives, it sounded almost like the Eight Lives.
"I trust Mr. Cancer, let me complete the setup," Li Xin said.
Christian arrogantly raised his head, quite satisfied. He liked such firm decisions from Gemini. Any hesitation, and he would have not been involved.
Apparently, he needed to show others his strength. Without a display, their insight might not comprehend, and it would facilitate his leadership in advancing the Round Table Conference.
"So your path is troublesome; let me know when ready. But remember, the element of surprise is only once. After all, an angel should be handled elegantly. Though early, it’s time for mortals to know the name of the Round Table Conference."
The name of the Round Table Conference?
Everyone felt a sense of excitement inside.
The Round Table Conference concluded. This would be their first public collaborative operation, but every stage seemed challenging at present.
"Mr. Gemini, I’ll need your Messenger. I have a Secret Item that can be used directly when the time comes," Cantona said.
"Thank you, Mr. Taurus."
"It’s a small matter. With an opponent like the Song of Hell, caution can’t be overdone," Cantona said. "Though with Mr. Gemini’s strength, my words are superfluous."
Li Xin pursed his lips... well, maybe not so superfluous. He still desperately needed help.
After confirming with Mr. Taurus, the two left the Round Table Conference.
Deep in the night, Li Xin did not seek out Miss Aries; he pondered alone, knowing there would be an opportunity, but patience was necessary.
