The young man was tall and handsome, and his whole body was filled with masculine beauty.
A dense stream of earth power surrounded the young man's body. When he stood in front of Ji Hao, Ji Hao clearly sensed the strange change of gravity in the surrounding.
The void around the young man's body seemed to be divided into countless tiny particles. The gravity in each particle was changing rapidly, sometimes heavy and sometimes light, sometimes up and down, sometimes left and sometimes right. Due to the strange fluctuation of gravity, the light around the young man's body was a little distorted, causing his figure to become hazy and hard to see.
The power of the earth element was heavy and thick. Together with the young man's tall and sturdy body, the young man gave people the feeling that he was a mountain whose foundation was deeply rooted in the earth, indestructible and eternal.
However, the drastically changing gravitational field around the young man made this mountain-like feeling more agile and unpredictable out of thin air. Like a mirage, you would never be able to tell if what you saw was real or not.
A very powerful one, a Divine Magus.
Moreover, this young man seemed to be in his early thirties at most. To be able to possess such strength at such a young age, he was definitely a person who had been nurtured by a top clan regardless of the cost, spending a massive amount of manpower and material resources.
"Earl Yao, nice to meet you. Gong Sun Yuan, nice to meet you." The young man smilingly picked up the wine cup, signaled to Ji Hao and said, "The new year is coming. I wish Earl Yao's territory good weather, people's lives are safe and sound, and all animals are thriving and prosperous."
'Who is this Gong Sun Yuan?' thought Ji Hao silently. A string of blessings and pleasing words came out quite smoothly!
Ji Hao picked up the white jade wine cup and filled it with wine, then stood up, cast a complicated glance at Gong Sun Yuan, grinningly raised the cup and said, "You flatter me, you flatter me … Forgive me for my ignorance, but what should I call you?"
Gong Sun Yuan smilingly clinked his wine cup with Ji Hao's, then said mildly, "Earl Ao, Gong Sun Yuan, a prince of You Xiong Family, nice to meet you. We should get to know each other better in the future."
Ji Hao's pupils shrunk to the size of needle tips. He clinked his wine glass with Gong Sun Yuan's and drank up the wine in his glass, calming himself down.
You Xiong Family? Emperor Xuanyuan was from the You Xiong family? Gongsun, Gongsun, that was Emperor Xuanyuan's surname. Gong Sun Yuan was a prince of the You Xiong Family? And he even had the title of Earl Ao?
Ao Mountain, Ji Hao had read about Ao Mountain in some secret books of the Magi Palace. Ao Mountain was a great mountain range near the Shouyang Mountain, and was rich in divine metal materials. Since the era of the three emperors until now, among the top-grade magic treasures forged by the Magi Palace every year, seventy percent of the divine metal materials needed for all kinds of powerful weapons such as blades, spears, swords, and halberds came from Ao Mountain.
Ao Mountain had been exploited for countless years, but the mineral resources in Ao Mountain had still been inexhaustible. Ao Mountain territory alone had monopolized seventy percent of the supply of high-grade divine metal materials to the Magi Palace, which clearly showed how rich Ao Mountain was.
Since Gong Sun Yuan inherited the title of Earl Ao, it was not hard to imagine how rich he was. Not only was he rich, but he also had enough equipment. Correspondingly, the private army of Ao Mountain territory was also a famous elite army.
As for You Xiong Family, ever since Emperor Xuan Yuan passed away, they had been hiding their strength and biding their time, rarely taking part in the affairs of the humankind. However, Ji Hao was a good friend of Si Xi and Si Wen Ming. In a few banquets, Ji Hao listened to them talking about large human forces. Therefore, Ji Hao learned some things that even ordinary human earls and marquis didn't know.
After Emperor Xuan Yuan passed away, You Xiong Family and the other few top-grade large clans were actually treated as the strategic reserve army of the entire humankind. They hid behind the scenes and silently accumulated their powers, while guarding the few holy lands of the humankind.
Ever since the era of the three emperors, You Xiong Family had never taken part in any war between the humankind and the non-humankind. During all these years, no one knew exactly how powerful You Xiong Family was. No one knew how many Magus Kings or Divine Magi they had, or even how many Supreme Magi they had. Perhaps, even Emperor Shun only had a rough figure.
Only the Master Elders of You Xiong Family knew exactly how powerful You Xiong Family was.
Therefore, facing Gong Sun Yuan, Ji Hao dared not to show any slight disrespect. He seriously said to Gong Sun Yuan, "Earl Ao, you're right. From now on, we should get closer to each other."
Gong Sun Yuan grinned and nodded. He glanced at Bo Qiujia, who was sitting aside, and said blandly, "Then I won't bother you anymore. I will certainly pay you a visit some other day. Earl Yao, please don't mind my intrusion."
Both of them grinned and bowed to each other, then Gong Sun Yuan carried his wine cup and walked to a nearby table. Ji Hao sat down, narrowed his eyes and looked at Gong Sun Yuan. Gong Sun Yuan had been trying to get closer to those earls and marquis, but he didn't greet those Southern Wasteland clan leaders.
"We have a clear message." Bo Qiujia abruptly said, "Gong Gong Wuyou and Gong Sun Yuan are extremely close. Gong Gong Wuyou is a descendant of a God, so he can't become the human emperor. But Gong Sun Yuan is a descendant of the three emperors, and he's the strongest opponent of Prince Tianming. "
"Eh? He wants to be the human emperor as well? "Ji Hao shrugged, laughed relaxedly and said," What does this have to do with me? Bo Qiujia, so many earls and marquis have seen it with their own eyes that I beat Zhu Rong Tianming up in front of everyone. I will never get involved in your business. "
"You won't help him, will you?" Bo Qiujia asked straightforwardly, "You and Wuzhi Qi are enemies. Back then, when you came to Pu Ban City, you and Gong Gong Wuyou were enemies as well. You won't be stupid enough to betray Southern Wasteland and help your enemy, will you?"
Ji Hao fiddled with the wine cup and said blandly, "Gong Gong Wuyou can't become the human emperor, but Zhu Rong Tianming can?"
Bo Qiujia laughed, laughed proudly and said, "Half of Prince Tianming's bloodline is from the humankind, and his mother is a human being. Therefore, he can surely become the human emperor … Earl Yao, you won't truly help Gong Sun Yuan, will you?"
Ji Hao smiled faintly and slightly shook his head.
This Bo Qiujia was even more annoying than a hundred flies. Why did he keep bothering Ji Hao?
Ji Hao was nothing but Earl Yao. How could he possibly help Zhu Rong Tianming in the fight for the throne of the human emperor? Besides, Emperor Shun was doing perfectly fine. Why would Zhu Rong Tianming and Gong Sun Yuan suddenly want to fight for the throne of the human emperor?
"Think about my suggestion." Bo Qiujia looked at Ji Hao sincerely and said, "If you are willing to help, in the future …"
"Those words are too big." Ji Hao interrupted Bo Qiujia once again, "Even if Zhu Rong Tianming becomes the human emperor, what can he decide? Let our sect become the number one sect of the humankind? Hehe, hehe, are you kidding me? Is this something that you and I can decide? "
Bo Qiujia remained silent for a while, seeming to continue trying to persuade Ji Hao. But behind Wuzhi Qi, a six-meter tall muscular man abruptly stood up, laughed out loud and said, "Lords, what's the fun of watching these performers? Why don't we do something interesting? "
The muscular man walked to the middle of the hall with big steps, shouted at the two performers who had been playing with fireballs, then slapped hard on his own chest.
"Who wants to compete with me in strength and make you laugh? Are there any heroes in Southern Wasteland who can defeat me in strength? "
The noisy hall instantly quieted down. Emperor Shun, who had been laughing and talking with a few earls and marquis, raised his head and cast a complicated glance at the muscular man.
