Chapter 556: A Letter of Challenge

Everyone in the hall was agitated. All long tables set for the banquet were taken away, while all human earls and marquis stood side by side. Their hands were pressed on the hilts of their swords as they stared fiercely at the five Yu Clan messengers who were walking into the hall.

The atmosphere in the hall was tense, and the fierce aura of killing released from over ten-thousand earls and marquis had nearly frozen the air. When those Yu Clan messengers walked into the hall, visible air-ripples vibrated around their bodies, even causing a clear jade-bottle-cracking-like sound.

The five Yu Clan messengers who seemed to be proud and arrogant before turned serious and cautious upon being stared at by all these people, every one of these people having an obvious fierceness in his eyes. Their overwhelming attitudes were pressed down, and even their walking pace had become much slower and gentler.

Ji Hao stood in the crowd, holding Man Man’s little hands while staring at these Yu Clan messengers coldly. Just like the others, he was silently wondering the purpose of these Yu Clan people. It had been five years since the Chi Ban Mountain War ended, why did Yu Dynasty send their messengers over now?

The Five Yu Clan messengers walked up to Emperor Shun with some solid difficulties.

Emperor Shun sat perfectly still in his seat, calmly looking at the five of them.

Candle Dragon Gui sat beside Emperor Shun, laughed out loud carelessly and said, ”You five little kids do have some balls, haha, what are doing here? There’re many ways if you want to die … you can cut your own throats or simply drink some poisons… why do you have to come all the way here?”

All human beings on the scene, regardless of their positions and relationships, all of them laughed loudly out, even including those musicians, performers, maids, and servants, who were hiding in the corners. At that moment, the power vibrations released from every human being’s body combined into one, pressing right down onto the five Yu Clan messengers’ heads like a mountain, making them quiver intensively. Exquisitely crafted amulets worn by them blasted out one after another, releasing countless shining spell symbols and creating layers of light screens, shielding them inside and fending against the strong pressure that came from the outside.

However, the clan leaders of all Midland large clans and all earls and marquis who were entitled by human emperors were gathered in here. Among all these people, the number of Divine Magi was not small at all. Among the rest who were qualified to walk into the main hall and meet with Emperor Shun, even the weakest one was a Magus King.

At least a thousand spell symbol light explosions happened on the bodies of the five Yu Clan messengers in a row, creating hundreds of light screens and wrapping them firmly up. However, under the great pressure released by so many powerful human Magi on the scene, those protective magic screens broke one after another. At last, followed by a raging growl, all five of them were pressed down, and embarrassedly ended up kowtowing to Emperor Shun.

Instantly, the great pressure eased, and many earls and marquis laughed in weird tones.

”They kneeled!”

”Hehe, kneeled!”

”A bunch of pretty boys, I doubt they have backbones! I thought that they’d rather die than submit. They should have simply sliced their own throats before kneeling. Then, I could give them some respect!”

”Nonsense! Don’t you know that these Yu Clan pretty boys fear death the most? Rather die than submit? They’d actually rather submit than die!”

Teases and taunts came over like tidewater, making the faces of the five Yu Clan messengers turn dark in anger. The Yu Clan young man with a blood-red long robe, who seemed to be the leader among the five of them, yelled out, ”Do your humankind want to start a war against our entire Yu Dynasty? We came under the order of the twelve Emperors in Power!”

The talking Yu Clan young men then took out a scroll with difficulty. The black scroll cracked, and a light screen swished up into the air, on which, were twelve clear, different-colored seals, and in the middle of each seal was a glowing erect eye.
