It was obvious that Great Elder Li Chenghu could not stay to stop these pursuers. It was already good enough that he could provide the formation plate.
The preciousness of a formation plate like this one that can trap nine ninth-level Martial Emperors is simply immeasurable, and priceless is not enough to describe the preciousness of this formation plate.
Since Elder Li Chenghu is willing to take out such a formation plate, it is obviously impossible to let Elder Li Chenghu preside over the operation of the formation plate.
And such an array must be activated by a ninth-level Martial Emperor to unleash its full power. If it is activated by an ordinary eighth-level Martial Emperor, it will have no power at all. Let alone trapping nine ninth-level Martial Emperors for an hour, it may not even be able to trap them for an incense stick of time. In that case, it would be a waste.
Only a ninth-level Martial Emperor with the help of this formation plate could trap these nine ninth-level Martial Emperors for an hour.
One hour was enough time for Elder Li Chenghu and the others to escape safely from this place, but in this case, the elder who presided over the formation would surely die. Facing nine ninth-level Martial Emperors who had escaped, he would have absolutely no chance of survival.
So, when the Great Elder Li Chenghu raised this question, the other two powerful ninth-level Martial Emperors all fell silent, knowing that this was an extremely difficult choice.
Either everyone just holds on like this, but in the end, they will definitely be caught up and killed by these nine ninth-level Martial Emperors. Or, one person must sacrifice himself to preside over the formation and activate the formation to buy time for everyone to escape.
This is definitely a difficult question to choose. Even an elder at the ninth level of the Martial Emperor is no different from an ordinary person when facing life and death.
Elder Li Chenghu did not give the two elders much time to think about it. He said, "Time is short and you cannot think carefully. How about this, you draw lots and decide who will leave and who will stay? It all depends on God's will. What do you think?"
The other two elders nodded and said, "We will listen to the Great Elder."
Great Elder Li Chenghu quickly made two jade lots and sealed them with his spiritual consciousness. In this way, no one could cheat.
"Okay, who will go first?" Elder Li Chenghu held two jade lots in his hands and spoke to the two elders while flying over.
"I come… "
One elder reached out without hesitation and took a jade lot from Elder Li Chenghu, while another elder took the remaining one.
The two elders opened the jade lots in their hands respectively. On one of the lots was written the word "stay", and on the other lot was written the word "go".
The word "stay" undoubtedly means staying here to block the pursuers behind. As for the word "go", it naturally means leaving with Elder Li Chenghu.
The elder who got the jade lot with the word "stay" kept changing his expression. Finally, he sighed and said to Li Chenghu, "Grand Elder, I can stay, but please treat my people well after you go back."
This elder named Li Huanwu seemed to have made some kind of decision.
Elder Li Chenghu nodded and said, "Elder Li, don't worry about this. If you can stop these nine sea clan warriors this time, you can be said to have made a great contribution to the clan. I can guarantee that your clan members will definitely receive the best treatment. No matter whether they are men or women, they will all receive the best preferential treatment in the clan."
