"Ji ~ ~ ~ Hao ~ ~ ~"
Zhu Rong Tianming's voice was long and shrill. He transformed into a fiery cloud and descended from the sky. He gripped a heavy sword, which was as tall as himself, with both of his hands and hacked down towards Ji Hao's head.
Ji Hao's eyes shone with a golden light as he fixed them on Zhu Rong Tianming's body.
At the moment, Ji Hao's eyes were shining brightly like a pair of small golden suns, shining with such a strong light that no one dared to look straight into his eyes.
Suddenly, numerous enormous spell symbols that looked like coiling dragons shone inside and outside the Town Hall. The entire Town Hall and the land within a radius of a hundred miles was covered by an enormous magic formation. The spell formation reinforced the surrounding buildings and ground, and the ground was faintly covered by a layer of light.
Hao Tao's strong and resonant voice came from afar, "Who dares to act recklessly in this great pilgrimage ceremony? Zhu Rong Tianming, stop now! "
Zhu Rong Tianming gave a vicious grin, then continued swinging his sword down without caring about anything else. In front of so many people, Ji Hao actually punched him, a Prince Tianming, into the clouds. Prince Tianming was utterly humiliated, and his heart was burning with rage. He even wanted to hack Ji Hao to death right now.
But of course, in front of so many earls and marquis, Zhu Rong Tianming dared not to kill Ji Hao for real. However, he had to at least chop off one of Ji Hao's arms. Zhu Rong Tianming fixed his eyes on Ji Hao's right shoulder. He was determined to chop Ji Hao's entire arm off.
Ji Hao sneered. Just now, he had only used thirty percent of his power, which was equivalent to a strike launched by a peak-level Magus King.
Although Zhu Rong Tianming was sent flying away by Ji Hao's punch, with his power, he wouldn't be injured at all. Ji Hao had already shown mercy to him, but he still wanted to continue. Ji Hao didn't want to waste any more time with him.
His hands were shaking rapidly like blooming flowers, and the Mantra of Nine Secret Words was condensed in one breath. It was as if nine fire beads were rolling and dancing in his body. Eyes shining with a golden light, Ji Hao locked on Zhu Rong Tianming's body while the nine spell symbols flew out of his hands simultaneously, leaving an arc in the air.
Lin, Bing, Dou, Zhe, Jie, Zhen, Lie, Qian, Xing!
The nine great seals each had their own miraculous uses. They communicated with the heavens, the earth, and the universe. They ruled over the energy of nature and contained boundless might. This was the first time for Ji Hao to send all nine spell symbols out together. The nine fire meteor-like spell symbols began merging and changing in a magical way while flying. At last, they transformed into a faintly visible hazy silhouette of a giant axe, fiercely hacking on Zhu Rong Tianming's face.
When Zhu Rong Tianming saw the axe silhouette, he wielded his long sword and attempted to stop it.
However, the Great Axe Shadow that was wrapped in raging flames was like a living thing. It circled around his sword in a strange arc, and solidly smashed into his face. The power of the mysterious silhouette wasn't too great, but it had an indescribable feeling. The defensive fire coiling around Zhu Rong Tianming's body was broken by the mysterious silhouette with a single move. The mysterious silhouette smashed on Zhu Rong Tianming's nose and made blood spurt out from Zhu Rong Tianming's head. Zhu Rong Tianming was sent flying into the clouds once again.
Ji Hao smilingly waved his hands and said to the surrounding earls and marquis, "This is a family affair of my family, and has nothing to do with official affairs. Minister Hao Tao, please don't blame me."
Man Man immediately leaped up from the ground, turned to the Town Hall and said in a spoiled manner, "Uncle Hao Tao, Man Man's husband is teaching my stinky brother a lesson. This has nothing to do with the official affairs of the humankind. Please don't blame me."
No matter what, Ji Hao beat Zhu Rong Tianming twice in front of the Town Hall, when all earls and marquis were waiting to meet Emperor Shun, the human emperor. This could be either a light or a heavy crime.
However, Ji Hao and Man Man put this as a family affair … Even if Emperor Shun was the human emperor, he had no reason to meddle in Zhu Rong's family affairs, did he?
Hao Tao's helpless voice came from a long distance away, "Don't do it again. If anyone dares to do it again, don't blame me for being merciless … If you want to deal with family affairs, go back to your own homes. This is not a place for you kids to mess around."
A large group of human emperor guards wearing long black robes walked out of the Town Hall and lined up orderly in front of the Town Hall.
Zhu Rong Tianming fell from the sky while roaring in rage. Blood had been spurting out from his nose. Ji Hao didn't put too much strength into the strike launched just now, but after the nine spell symbols merged into one, some changes that even Ji Hao didn't understand seemed to have happened, causing the lethality of the strike launched by Ji Hao just now to rise largely.
Ji Hao silently memorized what happened to the axe silhouette just now. It seemed that the Mantra Dan with Nine Secret Words triggered some mysterious power in the universe, and triggered the power of the move of sky-opening. That move of sky-opening, which was condensed from the power of the sun, had actually turned into a tangible attack, which was similar to the attacks launched by magic treasures.
This change was extremely mysterious, and Ji Hao had to go back and meditate on it after the meeting was over.
Zhu Rong Tianming growled out in rage, seeming to want revenge against Ji Hao. However, the surrounding magic formation suddenly increased its pressure, disabling him from moving. Lie Mountain Xu and Yi Shen put their mouths close to Zhu Rong Tianming and advised him with low voices. Added with Hao Tao's threat just now, Zhu Rong Tianming managed to restrain his anger with great efforts. He glared at Ji Hao, then threw a heavy punch at Gong Gong Wuyou.
Gong Gong Wuyou was fiddling with the black bamboo flute while sneering coldly. Wuzhi Qi, who was standing beside him, said slowly, "Good, Zhu Rong Tianming and Ji Hao are not the same kind of people, this is good."
Gong Gong Wuyou slightly nodded, seeming to be even more proud than before.
The group of earls and marquis began lining up in front of the Town Hall according to their power levels, seniority, and the ranking of their clans. Every marquis and marquis was served by a black cloaked guard of Emperor Shun, pointing out where they should stand.
Every marquis and marquis could bring twenty clansmen into the Town Hall, and every earl could only bring ten clansmen into the Town Hall. All the other guards had to wait outside the Town Hall.
Those black cloaked guards explained the rules to Ji Hao and these new earls and marquis in low voices. After a big half an hour, all earls and marquis and marquis lined up and walked into the Town Hall with their subordinates.
The Town Hall was shrouded in clouds of smoke. A strong power vibration pressed on everyone's bodies like a giant mountain. Even ordinary Senior Magi couldn't move easily in here.
Over ten-thousand earls and marquis led over a hundred thousand clansmen into the Town Hall. The magic formation in the Town Hall was fully activated, creating a giant space for these people. Emperor Shun sat in the innermost area of the Town Hall, blandly looking at these people with a faint smile.
The long ceremony began.
According to seniority, status, and power levels, earls and marquis walked up one after another, kowtowing to Emperor Shun according to the ceremony. They briefly described the current situation of their territories and clansmen, while greeting Emperor Shun. Emperor Shun then asked them a few questions about their political affairs. The earls and marquis presented the list of gifts, then maids led them to a banquet table aside to wait.
Over ten-thousand earls and marquis were a huge number. If all of them followed this procedure, they wouldn't be able to finish this process without at least a month.
Therefore, those earls and marquis who were qualified to stand out in front of Emperor Shun and have the honor to talk to Emperor Shun in front of everyone were carefully selected representatives of earls and marquis. They were all 'marquis' with the most seniority, the most powerful clans, and the oldest inheritances.
Thirty-six 'marquis', as the representatives of over ten-thousand earls and marquis, kowtowed to Emperor Shun one by one. Then, the drums started playing in the Town Hall, and all earls and marquis sat down for the banquet.
Ji Hao's seat was right beside Zhu Rong Tianming's. Once he sat down, a man in a white robe walked over.
"Earl Yao, I am Bo Qiujia."
