Pu Ban City.
The strong defensive magic screen was slowly activated. The Taiji creation cauldron released a gentle light that slowly absorbed the Pan Jia sun.
The light of the Pan Jia sun was gone. High up in the air, warm beams of golden light tenaciously poured down from the sky, sprinkling golden light spots on the Pu Ban area.
Countless human beings in Pu Ban City looked at the sky, stunned. No one knew who yelled out first, but all of a sudden, all human beings in the valley burst into hysterical cheers. Countless tools, weapons, clothes, and other things were thrown high into the sky.
Some impatient Magus Kings and Divine Magi even leaped into the sky, spread their arms, and showered under the golden sunlight.
The warm sunlight shone on the body, making it itchy and numb. The pleasant warmth seeped into the seams of the bones. All these years, the Pan Jia sun had been providing warmth and light in Pu Ban City, but in comparison, the original Pan Gu sun was much more comfortable!
Cheers spread to all directions. From countless houses, caves, and tree holes, countless human beings happily rushed out. They raised their heads and looked at the storm that suddenly stopped, then at the golden light streams behind the clouds. They were all stunned.
The rain stopped, and the sun rose. The dark clouds hadn't dissipated yet, but the sunlight had already illuminated the earth and the hearts of all human beings.
"The sun is out!"
It was a very ordinary, very ordinary sentence, but after several years of great floods, it seemed so precious. Some people even shed tears. They laughed out loud with tears in their eyes, then burst into hysterical cries.
Because of this flood, how many families were destroyed? How many clans lost their people? Luckily, people survived under the protection of Pu Ban City. Thinking of their dead families and friends, all of them burst into tears.
Cries and laughter mixed together, and the entire Pu Ban City was filled with people's voices.
In the core area of Pu Ban City, on a beautiful landscape, a magnificent palace stood majestically. Countless heavily armored warriors were patrolling around, and a large number of Maguspriests were quietly standing guard in key positions. Tamed spirit beasts were silently entrenched in many places. Under the eaves and in the bushes, extremely sensitive Gu bugs were quietly hiding.
Whether it was in the sky or on the ground, this palace was guarded like an impregnable fortress. It was truly impenetrable. Not even a fly would be able to sneak in.
In the deepest area of the palace, under a large hall that was entirely cast from bronze and embossed with countless spell symbols, the hall was three-hundred meters underground. The hall was cast from red bronze, plated with gold, inlaid with countless magic crystals, and glowing with lightning bolts. Over ten hazy silhouettes were quietly sitting in the dark mist, without saying a word.
Each of them had a jar of wine beside them and a bowl of wine in their hands. They kept pouring wine for themselves, gulping down the strong wine until not a single drop was left. Then, they continued to pour wine into their bowls.
The Secret Hall was filled with the pungent smell of alcohol. They had been sitting like this for a long time.
After an unknown period of time, an old but strong voice suddenly burst like a thunder, "A bunch of useless things! You can't even handle such a small thing! You are getting worse and worse, generation after generation! If I knew this, I would have strangled them and fed them to the wolves when they were born. "
A similarly old, feminine, and somewhat weak voice sneered, "What's the point of saying all this now? Strangling your children and grandchildren and feeding them to the wolves? Do you have such a rule in your family? We've been friends for so many years, but I truly didn't know about this … How many children and grandchildren have you strangled? "
"You!" The old and powerful voice burst out, causing the black mist in the Secret Palace to shake violently.
"Enough!" Another strong voice stopped the possible conflict between them, "Don't waste my 'dark sweet aroma', which can nourish the mind. Don't drink. If you want to drink, go back to your cellar and drink as much as you want. Use your brains and think of a way! "
The Secret Hall fell silent. A long while later, a hoarse voice said with a deep voice, "Marquis Yao Ji Hao, that kid … Hasn't Emperor Shun said anything yet? He killed so many of our elders. Does Emperor Shun think that he can protect Ji Hao? "
That majestic voice sneered and said coldly, "Of course, Emperor Shun knows that Ji Hao has killed so many elders from our families. He can't protect Ji Hao, but how can he? He's just a human emperor, what's so great about a human emperor? Without the support of our families, he's nothing! "
"Emperor Shun didn't say anything, because he clearly knows that he can't protect Ji Hao … Therefore, Ji Hao has to die!"
"Now, the only problem is … The flood-control mission is a success, but we didn't make any contribution!"
The Secret Hall remained silent for a while, then a group of people began blaming each other.
Some people complained loudly, saying that they should have listened to him at the beginning of the flood-control mission. More or less, they should have sent out some elite warriors, so that they could have made some contributions.
Some others criticized loudly, saying that back in the Kui Gate battle, they should have followed his words and locked Ji Hao and Si Wen Ming up with violence. In this way, the nine water gates' credit would have been theirs.
Some people even yelled that even though Si Wen Ming had earned the credit for the flood-control mission, whether Si Wen Ming could ascend to the throne or not would depend on them! What was so great about being popular? What was so great about being appreciated by all people in the world? What was so great about the flood-control mission? Without the support of these families and clans, all these were nothing!
"Si Wen Ming, we can't let him become the human emperor!" A strong voice abruptly came, interrupting these people, "He's different from Emperor Shun. Emperor Shun ruled the world with kindness and virtue … But Si Wen Ming, hm, look at how troublesome the Magi Palace has become in his hands. You can tell that this kid is not a kind one! Not to mention the fact that he's friends with princes from all over the world … He's reaching too far. "
After a moment of silence, this person continued coldly, "We can't let Si Wen Ming return to Pu Ban City. Everyone in the world knows that Si Wen Ming controlled this flood and saved all human beings. His reputation has already surpassed Emperor Shun's. Once he returns to Pu Ban City, he will certainly become the new human emperor! "
"No one can stop him. Even if we oppose him, it's useless, completely useless. This time, he has made too great a contribution, and his reputation is way too high in people's hearts. So … we can't let him return to Pu Ban City! "
"The flood-control hero died suddenly on his way back to Pu Ban City, that's the best result! What do you think? "
Another awkward silence fell. A while later, an old voice could be heard, "After all, Si Wen Ming is a direct descendant of Emperor Xuanyuan …"
Followed by a sneer, another old voice growled harshly, "Half of us on the scene are descendants of Emperor Xuanyuan. What's so special about Si Wen Ming?"
"But, Si Wen Ming is a Divine Magus. Dying suddenly because of a disease … What disease did he have?" Another voice hesitantly raised his own question. A Divine Magus, a Divine Magus who was immune to all kinds of poisons, who could regenerate from a single drop of blood … Dying suddenly because of a disease? There was no disease like that in the world!
"As long as he dies, everything will be fine. What disease? We can take our time to find out the cause!" The old voice continued in a strong tone, "Now, let's talk about how to make Si Wen Ming die faster! And, he can't have anything to do with us! "
