In the Town Hall, which was temporarily repaired and had its roof repaired, all marquises and earls, and clan leaders, who were qualified to participate in the discussion of the future of the humankind, sat straight on the ground.
Behind Gong Sun Bo and the other leaders sat a great number of marquises and earls according to their bloodlines. Over sixty percent of all marquises and earls in the entire Town Hall.
The rest forty percent of marquises and earls were divided into a few groups according to their relationships, quietly sitting in the corners of the Town Hall. In the spacious hall, only the area around Ji Hao was empty. Except for Man Man, Shaosi, and the others, not a single soul could be seen within a radius of thirty meters.
Many marquises and earls who were friends with Ji Hao smiled bitterly and helplessly. Their clans originated from large human families and clans, and were branches of those large human families and clans. Therefore, both they and their clans were largely affected by these large human families and clans. In front of Gong Sun Bo and the other leaders, no one dared to show any intention of befriending Ji Hao.
These large human families and clans were way too powerful, and their influence was way beyond people's imagination.
If one tried to get to the bottom of it, even Emperor Shun's clan was a branch of You Xiong Family, and all of them were descendants of Emperor Xuanyuan. Facing these large human families and clans, even Emperor Shun could only 'consider the big picture', not to mention these marquises and earls.
Ji Hao sat straight on the ground with his legs crossed and hands on his knees, smilingly looking at Gong Sun Bo.
These large human families and clans hated Ji Hao to death, but at this moment, they wouldn't do anything rashly. Large human families and clans had their own pride, and wouldn't pester Ji Hao like ordinary people. They failed to kill Ji Hao with the first strike, and now, they had already regarded this as a blood feud between clans. Therefore, they would solve all problems with personal vendettas.
Gong Sun Bo and the other leaders also smilingly nodded to Ji Hao. Even though they hated Ji Hao to the core, as leaders of large human families and clans, they still had to show some manners.
For a moment, everyone in the Town Hall showed a warm smile on their faces, as if what Ji Hao did just now had never happened. Only the empty space around Ji Hao and the others was like an iceberg, emitting a coldness that made everyone's heart tremble.
Emperor Shun looked around. Seeing the smiles on the faces of Gong Sun Bo and the others, he helplessly sighed, then helplessly glanced at Ji Hao. He had tried his best to mediate, but Ji Hao had killed so many people from those families and clans, and this hatred could never be erased.
Gong Sun Bo and his people had already made a blood oath in front of everyone. They had to take revenge on Ji Hao and his clansmen to wipe out the shame brought to them by Ji Hao, and to maintain the dignity and reputation of their powerful families. This blood feud was something that even the 12 Human Emperors would not be able to completely resolve. This was a dead knot that could not be resolved.
Perhaps, what he could do was try his best to protect a part of Ji Hao's clansmen, so that the bloodline of the Gold Crow Clan wouldn't die out. Emperor Shun silently calculated. With the current power of his clan, facing the pressure from those powerful families and clans, this was all he could do.
Coughing slightly, Emperor Shun continued in a deep voice, "The flood is receding. Many things need to be discussed. First of all … "
Gong Sun Bo rudely interrupted Emperor Shun and said blandly, "First of all, since Si Wen Ming is seriously injured and in a coma, he shouldn't be in charge of that flood-control army."
Waving his hand carelessly, Gong Sun Bo continued blandly, "That's an elite force. These years, they've been fighting against water-kind creatures in the wind and rain all day long. It's been hard for them. So, we have to let them live a good life. We have decided to break up this flood-control army, and let us take over their families and families. "
After Gong Sun Bo finished, the leaders of High Sun Family, Wuchang Family, You Chao Family, Suiren Family and the other large families and clans all clapped their hands and grinned, praising Gong Sun Bo for his excellent idea.
The leaders of those large families and clans said that they would treat the flood-control army and their families well. They would give them lands, houses, livestock, and all kinds of living materials. With the power of those large families and clans, from now on, the flood-control army would certainly live a good life.
Ji Hao sneered aside.
The flood-control army under Si Wen Ming's command was enormous. It could even be called the largest army in the history of the alliance of human clans.
Warriors of this army were mainly composed of people whose homes were destroyed by the flood. They had been running around for years, fighting against water-kind armies every single day. They also had to break mountains and expand lands. Every single day, they had to do a great amount of labor. Therefore, all of these warriors had strong bones and strong wills of fighting.
Before the flood-control army, many of these warriors were Junior Magi, or even Novice Magi. But after years of fighting and hard work, most of them had broken into the level of Senior Magi. This flood-control army under Si Wen Ming's command was not only enormous in scale, but also incredibly powerful. Their fighting experiences were way beyond the reach of ordinary warriors.
During the years of flood-control, those large families and clans didn't send out a single warrior. Instead, they only took out some old grains from their storages and gave them to Emperor Shun.
After the flood subsided, the first thing these large families and clans wanted to do was to divide this elite flood-control army!
"This army …" Emperor Shun wanted to say something, but the leader of the High Sun Family impatiently interrupted him, "We all know that Si Wen Ming is a talented kid. His' All Streams to the Final Land 'great formation has connected the four wastelands. In three months tops, the four wastelands will be connected with Midland."
"Therefore, Emperor Shun wants to send this flood-control army to Northern Wasteland and ask the remaining members of Gong Gong's family for advice." The leader of the High Sun Family smiled and said, "Just leave this to us. After all, after the flood-control army is divided among our large families and clans, we will surely send out elite warriors to take over the army, and we will take over the Northern Wasteland expedition. "
Ji Hao almost laughed out loud.
'What a wishful thinking! You've been working so hard on the flood-control mission, but you don't even want to touch it. Instead, you've already been eagerly taking this fat piece of meat from the Northern Wasteland expedition and the territories of all Northern Wasteland clans.'
The core forces of these large families and clans were mostly concentrated in Midland.
If they truly swallowed the entire Northern Wasteland … Hehe, what would they do, as their powers soared?
Emperor Shun helplessly shook his head again. He wanted to say something, but tens of large families and clans had joined hands, and over sixty percent of all human earls and marquises were on their side. Therefore, their decisions were basically the decisions of the alliance of human clans.
Even Emperor Shun couldn't overturn their decisions, unless they completely fell out with each other!
Based on Emperor Shun's personality, how could he ever fall out with these large families and clans? Yu Dynasty was still covetously watching from the north. If the alliance of human clans fell into internal strife, the non-humankind would mercilessly throw the humankind into hell.
Sighing slightly, Emperor Shun opened his mouth and said a few words.
Ji Hao didn't hear what Emperor Shun said. Instead, a jade talisman held in his pocket suddenly turned boiling hot, and an urgent message was sent to him.
Outside Yao Mountain City, a large number of unknown forces had been approaching speedily.
