Chapter 1368: Levying With A Good Reason

The light shone as the heatwaves reached the sky. At first, the eyeballs of the thousands of Maguspreists were burned. As the fire burned in their eye sockets, their clothes and hair were set embalmed too. They shrieked, howled, buried their heads in their arms, and rolled on the ground.
The Pan Jia sun released a scorching heat that dried the earth, and melted the soil and sands into lava. The heat struck on the Town Hall, immediately triggering the defensive screens. Layers of light screens were released, covering the Town Hall.
That was a sun. The Pan Jia sun was far weaker than the Pan Gu sun, but still, it was a sun. Besides, the Pan Jia sun was right in front of these people. Therefore, its heat was destructive.
Beams of red light landed on the defensive screens of the Town Hall like countless sharp swords and blades, piercing into the Town Hall. With a series of muffled popping noise, the layers of strong defensive screens were shattered inch by inch. On the wall, the pillars, and the eaves of the Town Hall, dazzling fiery light began bursting, and from the underground, a rumbling noise could be heard, because the defensive formation buried under the Town Hall started to break under a strong counterforce as well.
Those Maguspreists struggled in the lava, which grew deeper and deeper. Their defensive talismans exploded one after another, releasing thin layers of light screens that wrapped their bodies. The lava boiled, as glowing red bubbles blasted, and so did their light screens.
Soon, some Maguspriests had their skin directly burned by the lava. Along with a sizzling noise, the smell of burnt meat started spreading in the air.
Everything happened so fast. Human warriors who were on patrol around the Town Hall, remained stunned for a long while, then finally burst into shouts and growls. Some nimble warriors trod on the air and rushed into the lava area to save people, while some others raised dragon horns and attempted to give an alarm.
”Useless things!” An old, strong voice came from a distance away. Following the voice, an old man suddenly showed up beside the Taiji creation cauldron. The old man was wearing a silver colored long robe, with his shiny black hair tied up perfectly with a hair band. In the middle of the hair band, an egg-sized ruby was glistening.
”Suppress!” The old man gave a resonant shout. Behind him, a dense red mist rolled up like an ocean, and within the mist, a few long flood dragon silhouettes were faintly visible. He was holding an oddly shaped, six-feet wide square cauldron, releasing rapidly flowing red light streams that poured on the Pan Jia sun, looking like a rain of stars.
The red light exploded, caused lingering, thunderous booms. The Pan Jia sun slightly quaked, while being pressed back into the Taiji creation cauldron inch by inch. The old man smiled, showing obvious pride in his eyes.
Far away, Ji Hao sneered. The Pan Jia sun was so ‘soft and docile’ because Ji Hao restrained its power. In addition to that, ninety percent of its power was sealed by the Taiji creation cauldron. Therefore, in the past few years, the Pan Jia sun had been very easy to control, while it provided Pu Ban City with warmth and light, and helped growling so many crops.
Nevertheless, no matter how gentle and easy to control it was, it was still a sun. An old, dying dragon, even with its horns fallen off, could still shake the sky with its anger when it was truly infuriated. And its claws, which were no longer sharp but still strong, could tear apart all enemies.
”Idiots!” Ji Hao chuckled and snapped his finger, freeing the Pan Jia sun from the Taiji creation cauldron.
