The golden bridge flashed across the space, leaving a dark-golden beam of light in the air.
Mist rose from the vast land. Crossing over a towering mountain range, a fertile plain area appeared in front of Ji Hao's eyes.
An astonishingly large city, like a giant prehistoric beast, was quietly entrenched on this plain. The twilight was dim, and the fog was rising. This city was dotted with lights, and in the sky, winged dragons could be seen circling and patrolling.
This was You Xiong City, the base of You Xiong Family.
Unlike Pu Ban City, which was naturally unorganized, You Xiong City was well-planned. The streets in You Xiong City were as orderly as a chessboard, with enormous buildings built from melted rocks and metal standing on both sides of the streets. Every building was not only a residence for people of You Xiong City, but also a battle fort.
Emperor Xuanyuan was the most powerful emperor in the history of the humankind. He ruled his people with military law, and this tradition was passed down from generation to generation. You Xiong Family people entered the city as citizens, but when they left, they became soldiers. They picked up farming tools as farmers, and when they picked up weapons, they became warriors. Every single one of You Xiong Family people was brave and strong. In any large clan, they could be counted as top-grade elites.
You Xiong Family was especially powerful. Except for Gong Sun Family, which was the most orthodox one, Xiong Family, Mi Family, and the other powerful families were also extremely powerful.
According to the information provided by Si Wen Ming, not to mention the Gong Sun Family, which was the descendant of Emperor Xuanyuan, only the branches of Xiong Family and Mi Family were as powerful as seven to eight top-grade Southern Wasteland clans combined.
This clearly showed how powerful You Xiong Family was.
If Gong Sun Meng could truly support Gong Sun Tianming with all the resources of You Xiong Family, Gong Sun Tianming would already have half a butt on the throne. Added with the fact that he had already taken the Xuanyuan sword, he had a seventy percent chance to become the next human emperor.
If Gong Sun Meng could truly unify the opinions of You Xiong Family and make all branches of You Xiong Family support Gong Sun Tianming, even Si Wen Ming would have to back off. Because if one carefully traced the bloodline source, Si Wen Ming's father, Marquis Chong Si Xi, belonged to You Xiong Family as well, and Si Wen Ming was a direct descendant of Emperor Xuanyuan.
Once You Xiong Family gave the order, Si Xi and Si Wen Ming had no choice but to obey.
Si Wen Ming wanted to be the human emperor, but he didn't care about the power of the human emperor. He simply wanted to change some things with his passion and hard work, to make the humankind more powerful.
It would be great if he could become the human emperor, but even if he couldn't, Si Wen Ming still believed that he could rely on his own efforts to change the humankind bit by bit, to make the humankind better.
However, Si Wen Ming couldn't allow Gong Sun Tianming to become the human emperor!
If Gong Sun Tianming was a pure-blooded descendant of Emperor Xuanyuan, and he was doing everything for the humankind, Si Wen Ming wouldn't say anything. However, Gong Sun Tianming rebuilt his body in such a weird way. With only a drop of Emperor Xuanyuan's spirit blood, he gained Emperor Xuanyuan's bloodline … Could he still be counted as a pure human being?
Not to mention the fact that Gong Sun Tianming still had Priest Corpse, Bo Qiujia, and other powerful cultivators.
Back then, Emperor Shun and Si Wen Ming went through countless ancient and incomplete books in the Magi Palace. Then, he finally bribed Netherworld Priest to learn some of the history that was intentionally erased by human ancestors.
Priest Hua, Priest Mu, and the other powerful beings, who had been hiding for a long time, must be planning something against the humankind. If Gong Sun Tianming became the human emperor, would the humankind still be pure in Si Wen Ming's eyes?
As for Ji Hao, his attitude was simple.
He was a good friend of Si Wen Ming. Therefore, letting Si Wen Ming become the human emperor would be in Ji Hao's best interest.
Letting Gong Sun Tianming become the human emperor? Why? Based on the few conflicts between Ji Hao and Gong Sun Tianming, based on the hatred between Ji Hao and Priest Hua, Priest Mu, and their disciples, Ji Hao could never let Gong Sun Tianming ascend to the throne of the human emperor!
Therefore, Si Wen Ming went to Marquis Chong to discuss a solution, while Ji Hao came to You Xiong City alone.
You Xiong City was covered in spell symbols and spell symbols. A tremendous, prehistorical great magic formation wrapped the entire city up.
The golden bridge quaked slightly and released a dim golden light. Next, Ji Hao easily penetrated the seal of You Xiong City and sneaked into the city. The Pan Xi divine mirror released a dim stream of light that wrapped Ji Hao up, without releasing even a slight trace of power. Ji Hao drifted across the air like a ghost, flying to the ancestral temple of You Xiong City, which was located in the middle of You Xiong City.
Along the way, large groups of armored warriors patrolled around, while large numbers of Maguspriests with long robes stood on high places, strictly glancing around.
There were also countless ferocious beasts and birds of prey shuttling back and forth in the twilight, sniffing here and there from time to time.
High up in the air, at least three-thousand winged dragons had been hovering. Ji Hao looked at their armors and found that these winged dragons and the warriors mounted on their backs were clearly divided into two groups. The ones with faintly golden armors should be You Xiong Family warriors, while the ones with dragon-scale armors were clearly from the dragon-kind.
Back then, when Emperor Xuanyuan led all kinds to fight against the non-humankind, a large number of elite dragon-kind warriors had been under Emperor Xuanyuan's command.
After the war, some dragon-kind warriors admired Emperor Xuanyuan's power and stayed in You Xiong Family, becoming appendages of You Xiong Family. These winged dragons should be the descendants of those dragon-kind warriors back then.
High up in the air, winged dragons hovered in the air. Occasionally, a few winged dragons would cross each other in an extremely dangerous way. If they didn't control their powers well and bumped into each other, they would at least fall to the ground with severe injuries.
Ji Hao couldn't help but shake his head. It seemed that the dragon-kind didn't come with a good intention, and You Xiong Family wasn't polite either.
He truly couldn't understand what on earth Gong Sun Meng wanted. Was he truly going to drag the entire You Xiong Family into this for Gong Sun Tianming?
This was a direct threat from the dragon-kind and the phoenix-kind. You Xiong Family was powerful indeed, but compared to the dragon-kind and the phoenix-kind, it was still not powerful enough!
On his way, Ji Hao sneaked into the ancestral temple of You Xiong Family without alerting anyone.
The gate of the ancestral temple of You Xiong Family was a pair of towering bronze totem pillars. The pillars were hundreds of meters tall, and would require a couple of people to put their arms around them to encircle them. Once Ji Hao stepped into the ancestral temple, he saw a hundred-miles-tall mountain in front of him. Under the mountain was a flat area, with large groups of heavily armored warriors standing in battle formations, facing each other at the foot of the mountain.
A tremendous number of warriors gathered in this place, and Ji Hao couldn't even see the end of the army.
At first glance, Ji Hao saw thousands of different battle flags with totems on them, including those of the dragon-kind, phoenix-kind, human-kind clans, and of course, most of them were the battle flags of the branches of You Xiong Family. On those battle flags, different-shaped bears were fluttering in the wind, releasing a strong intent of killing.
On top of the mountain was the ancestral temple of You Xiong Family. At the moment, a large bronze cauldron was blazing in front of the temple. A cold and harsh voice came from the mountaintop, "Tianming, my son can control the Xuanyuan sword. He should be the new emperor … You, what are you hesitating for?"
