The area in front of the Town Hall fell into chaos. Hao Tao rushed out with a darkened face and growled harshly.
Si Wen Ming's face was darkened to an extreme degree as well. Right in front of the Town Hall, the most important palace in Pu Ban City, in the core area of the alliance of human clans, hundreds of elders, who had committed treason, died in a weird way. Without a doubt, this was a heavy slap on the faces of all 'human beings'.
Elders from all clans had their faces darkened as well. They angrily gave out orders one after another, ordering their elite warriors to spread out and investigate all suspicious people in Pu Ban City.
Ji Hao speechlessly shook his head. This was such a mess, they didn't even know who the enemies were. Investigate? How would you investigate?
Abruptly, Po's voice came from beside Ji Hao's ear. Ji Hao hurriedly turned around and saw Po standing under a towering tree hundreds of zhang away, with a serious face and a faint layer of clear light coiling around his body.
Ji Hao hurriedly walked over. Po grabbed Ji Hao's hand, wielded his broad sleeve and swiftly darted away with Ji Hao, like a puff of smoke. Po's power was immeasurably great. He flicked his broad sleeve, and with a single step, he could cover over ten-thousand miles. Ji Hao only saw lights and silhouettes flashing before his eyes, and soon, he and Po had left Pu Ban City and entered a long mountain range in the west.
Abruptly, a steep mountain peak appeared in front of them. A fierce gust of wind blew across the mountain peak, passing through a few jagged rocks and letting out shrill howls that sounded like wolves howling at the moon. However, in such a strong gust of wind, a stream of purple smoke rose straight into the air, remaining perfectly motionless no matter how hard the wind blew.
On the mountaintop, tens of thousands of zhang away from the ground, a human-head-sized, white jade incense burner was placed on a rock. Three snow-white and thin incense sticks were stuck in the burner, and that stream of purple smoke came from this incense burner.
The purple smoke rose straight into the air like an arrow while a faint aroma spread out. The aroma contained a great sense of holiness and solemnity, making the mountaintop look like a fairyland. Every single stone on the mountaintop seemed to be glowing with a magical light.
Po and Ji Hao rushed up to the mountaintop with a single step. Sensing the magical, holy, and solemn atmosphere in the surrounding area, Po sneered and said, "Brother, you have to remember, if you ever come across such a solemn, holy, and peaceful place in this barren land, then someone is playing tricks on you."
Ji Hao seriously nodded. Ying Yunpeng and the others had just fallen, and Po brought him to this place. Obviously, the death of Ying Yunpeng and the others had something to do with this incense burner.
However, the mountaintop was a flat area with a radius of over a hundred zhang, and no one could be seen.
In the whistling mountain wind, there was only this small white jade incense burner standing on a mountain rock. Purple smoke was rising, and the whole mountain was filled with a peaceful, peaceful, warm, and comfortable atmosphere.
His pair of pupils sparkled with a golden-red light, then he activated the Gold Crow and glanced around.
At first glance, Ji Hao found that on the flat area in front of the incense burner, there seemed to be a faintly twisted sphere of air. Without saying anything, he flicked his finger. Buzz! The Nine Dragon Fire Pearl darted out along with a loud buzzing noise, heavily smashing on that twisted sphere of air along with a dazzling fiery light.
Through the transparent skin, one could even see the golden bones. Abruptly, a scrawny finger, which was as smooth as a piece of gemstone, abruptly reached out of the air and casually flicked on the Nine Dragon Fire Pearl.
The Nine Dragon Fire Pearl was sent thousands of zhang away by a tremendous force. A trace of Ji Hao's primordial spirit, which was attached to the Nine Dragon Fire Pearl, vibrated intensely. The counterforce made Ji Hao's primordial spirit vibrate intensely, making him lose his eyesight and nearly fall to the ground.
That twisted sphere of air slowly dissipated, exposing a middle-aged man, who was scrawny and wearing a ragged cotton robe.
At first glance, the middle-aged man looked like a skeleton that could move. The shriveled skeleton was tightly wrapped with a layer of skin. However, his skin was smooth and jade-like, glowing with a glaze-like luster. Through his transparent skin, one could see that his bones seemed to be cast from pure gold, and his internal organs seemed to be carved from gemstones, glowing faintly.
What was even more shocking was his head.
The skin on his head was translucent, and his skull was also translucent. No brain could be found in his skull. Instead, it was a puddle of purple-golden mucus. Inside the puddle of mucus, which had been sparkling with a faint golden light, a fist-sized, snow-white and tender little boy was sitting on a lotus with his legs crossed, narrowed his eyes and staring at Ji Hao with a cold smile on his face.
A 'human' with such an appearance?!
Ji Hao quivered intensely. If one bumped into a 'human' like this in the middle of the night, no matter how brave he was, he would be scared to death and have nightmares!
This was way too scary and hideous. However, a faint warm aroma had been emitting from his entire body, and a great sense of solemnity and holiness could be sensed from his body. Ji Hao even felt that this man was as warm and attractive as the arms of a mother.
Although he looked weird, if one looked carefully at his face, one would find that this man had a strange charm that would make one want to kneel down and worship him.
Ji Hao stared at this man for a while, then abruptly bit his own tongue tip. His tongue tip was bitten, and a large amount of blood gushed out. The great pain instantly cleared Ji Hao's mind, and he dared not to look at this man anymore. Instead, he quickly turned his eyes away.
"My friend Corpse!" Po cupped his hands towards Priest Corpse, sneered and said, "Those disciples of yours are useless. This time, you, my friend, have finally done it yourself?"
"Priest Po!" Priest Corpse crossed his arms before his chest, looked at Po expressionlessly and said, "People, well water doesn't interfere with river water. Why do you care about my business? Do I have to report to you what I am doing? "
Po sneered and said, "Just now, you controlled Ying Yunpeng and the others with a secret spell. What did you want to do when my little brother approached?"
He pointed at Priest Corpse and yelled coldly, "Whatever you want to do has nothing to do with me. But if you want to scheme against our disciples, you should first touch your own neck and see if you can survive a single sword attack launched by our Master Shifu."
Priest Corpse gave an ugly grin and said blandly, "It's not exactly a scheme. I just wanted them to yell out that they were forced to rebel by your little brother before they died. But since you, Priest Po, are powerful enough to break my secret spell, this is over. "
Cold sweat gushed out from Ji Hao's back while he threw a threatening glance at Priest Corpse.
Just now, unknowingly, Po and this strange Daoist priest had already secretly fought once?
Just now, when Ji Hao was present, Ying Yunpeng and the other hundreds of rebellious elders suddenly yelled out together, yelling that it was Ji Hao who forced them to rebel! Not only Ji Hao would be in trouble, even Si Wen Ming, who had been taking care of Ji Hao all the time, and Emperor Shun, who had just rewarded Ji Hao, would also be in great trouble.
If this wasn't handled properly, the relationship between Emperor Shun and those large clans under his command could even be broken, and the entire humankind would fall into turmoil.
Ji Hao gnashed his teeth, sneered and said, "Good, good!"
Priest Corpse gave a faint smile, abruptly reached out a finger and pressed it straight down towards Ji Hao.
