The people of the Zhang family were extremely excited when they saw that the Human Emperor didn't even draw his sword. He just walked casually and neutralized the ghostly attack of Goddess Hanba.
However, some people disapproved of the Human Emperor's actions. They felt that the Human Emperor shouldn't be soft-hearted. He should have just killed Goddess Hanba. Why did he have to give her a chance? It was equivalent to releasing a tiger back into the mountains.
Goddess Hanba was also somewhat puzzled. If the person in front of her was really strong, why did he have to talk nonsense with her? He could have just drawn his sword and killed her. Why did he have to give her a chance?
Goddess Hanba was still hesitant as she watched Zhou Wen walk towards her. She was once an invincible existence after all. In that era, humans were not even comparable to ants in front of her. She could travel thousands of miles in a day, and wherever she passed, she wouldn't even spare a glance. Tens of thousands of humans would be roasted into charcoal by the Heavenly Fire on her body, and that was just an unconscious action of hers.
In this era, she was actually asked to lower her head and admit defeat to a human. She also had to reflect on her mistakes. She couldn't take this lying down.
Goddess Hanba even thought that even if the Human Emperor really had the ability to kill her, he would at most fight to the death. It was simply a dream for her to lower her head to a human.
Of course, Zhou Wen didn't really want to kill Goddess Hanba. Even if he really wanted to, he didn't have the ability to do so.
With Di Ting's ability, he could scare Goddess Hanba. If they really fought, he was definitely not a match for her.
Seeing that he was getting closer to the Fiend Tomb and was only a few steps away, Goddess Hanba still had no intention of returning to the Fiend Tomb.
Three steps … Two steps … One step …
Zhou Wen was already standing in front of the Fiend Tomb, but Goddess Hanba still had no intention of returning. She was still attacking. Clearly, she had made up her mind to fight to the death.
Seeing this situation, the people of the Zhang family felt that the Human Emperor could only fight Goddess Hanba. They even looked forward to seeing if the Human Emperor could kill Goddess Hanba.
Zhou Wen grabbed the hilt of the Immortal Culling Sword again, but he didn't pull it out. Instead, he sighed softly and said regretfully, "I'm the only one in the world. All the gods and demons in the world have to worship me. Can't I accept your worship?"
When the members of the Zhang family heard Zhou Wen suddenly say that, they were slightly taken aback. Although Human Emperor was powerful and was publicly recognized as the number one expert of the human race, it was too much to say that he was the supreme being in the world and that all the gods and demons had to worship him. Wasn't that a little too arrogant?
Moreover, anyone could see that Goddess Hanba was prepared to fight to the death. How could she possibly bow down to him?
However, when the Drought Maiden heard that, her body trembled. She stared at Zhou Wen in disbelief.
She was simply too familiar with those words. Back then, Her Lady Empress had also stood before her and said those words.
Although she couldn't see Zhou Wen's face, Zhou Wen's tone and demeanor resembled the Great Empress back then. Furthermore, only she and the Great Empress were present back then. It was unlikely that anyone else knew about it.
For a moment, Goddess Hanba was in a daze. It was as though she had seen the Great Empress again.
"What are you still standing there for? Are you waiting for me to send you off? " Zhou Wen had eavesdropped on her thoughts and knew the scene of her and the Great Empress back then. That was why he said that.
This sentence made Goddess Hanba feel as though she was struck by lightning. She looked at Zhou Wen with a complicated expression as though she had seen a ghost.
Something unexpected happened. Although Goddess Hanba, who was prepared to fight to the death, didn't really bow, she bowed to Human Emperor before turning around and disappearing into the Fiend Tomb.
The surging Earth Fire also quickly retracted with Goddess Hanba's disappearance. In a moment, all the flames in the sky returned to the Fiend Tomb. Only a voice echoed in the air, "I'll wait for the day you pass away."
Zhang Siyou and the rest were astonished. Goddess Hanba's words were tantamount to admitting what Human Emperor had said previously. As long as Human Emperor didn't die, she wouldn't appear.
With Goddess Hanba's return to the Fiend Tomb, the signs of demonization on the Zhang family members improved. However, they didn't completely recover, especially those like Zhang Chunqiu who were severely demonized. There weren't many changes. His hair was still white, and his eyes and nails were as white as jade.
However, his complexion looked much better. He wasn't as pale as before.
"Your grace is something that the Zhang family can't repay. If you need the Zhang family's help in the future, just say the word. As long as it doesn't violate human ethics, I, Zhang Siyou, will definitely be there." Zhang Siyou only mentioned his name in the end, but he didn't mention the Zhang family.
His words sounded like he was avoiding the important and dwelling on the trivial, but from another perspective, it was also a serious promise.
"I hope that the Zhang family will live up to your words in the future." After Zhou Wen said that, he glanced at Uncle Zhang before turning around and tearing through the air. In an instant, he transformed into a stream of light and vanished.
Uncle Zhang's face turned red. He was undoubtedly the representative of the Zhang family who wanted to live on his knees.
Zhang Yuzhi supported Zhang Chunqiu and looked in the direction where Zhou Wen had disappeared, seemingly deep in thought.
"Human Emperor is really not something we can reach. In the past, I thought that Human Emperor was only one step ahead of me. Sooner or later, I would be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with him. From the looks of it today, it's not just one step." Zhang Chunqiu marveled before smiling. "Thankfully, that's the case. Otherwise, our Zhang family would be finished. This Human Emperor is indeed interesting. I wonder if his true identity is a pure human. If he's a pure human, he deserves the title of Human Emperor. "
"Probably …" Zhang Yuzhi's eyes were complicated as she was somewhat distracted.
On the way back, Zhang Yuzhi suddenly thought of something. She took out her phone and sent a message.
Zhou Wen was riding the Earth Elemental Beast when he happened to arrive at a place with a signal. When he heard the message, he took out his phone to take a look.
When he realized that it was from Zhang Yuzhi, he clicked it open and nearly fell off the Earth Elemental Beast's back.
"Your Majesty … Help me plant flowers again next time … Listen to music …"
"It should be a guess, right?" Zhou Wen was alarmed and puzzled. He didn't know how Zhang Yuzhi could tell that he was Human Emperor. He hurriedly replied, "Did you send it to the wrong person? Do you know Human Emperor? "
After Zhou Wen sent the message, he waited uneasily for Zhang Yuzhi's reply. However, after waiting for a while, his message was like a rock sinking into the sea. There was no response at all.
Zhang Yuzhi looked at Zhou Wen's reply on her phone and revealed a sly smile. She closed the conversation box and placed her hand on her chest. She closed her eyes and muttered to herself with a smile, "With you around, I won't be afraid of the dark anymore."
Zhang Yuzhi's mind kept echoing the words "The one who shouldn't die isn't you. It's those who made you cry."
