Chapter 1401: For What Purpose

Orders spread in all directions. Under the pressure from Emperor Xuanyuan and the other three former emperors, those large families were mobilized too this time.
Since the first war of aggression started by the non-humankind in Pan Gu world, this was the first time for all human forces to mobilize fully. Countless weapon depots were opened, several hidden forces were put in use, and a large number of elites who had been cultivating themselves in isolation were woken up. For quite a long while, one could hear conversations like this in Pu Ban City — 'Eh? Old dude, you're still alive? Everyone thought you died centuries ago!'
Emperor Xuanyuan visited the dragon-kind and the phoenix-kind himself. No one knew what he said to the dragons and phoenixes, but as a result of his trip, the dragons and phoenixes made their moves too, even if they had always been proud and never liked to be too close to the humankind.
Pu Ban City became a giant military camp. Food, armaments, and elite warriors were sent to Pu Ban City ceaselessly. Fierce mounts ran about on the ground, quaking the ground slightly. Enormous birds hovered in the sky, even covering the sun with their wings.
Countless water-kind captives who were enslaved by human warriors were gathered as well. They filled all rivers, lakes, and streams around the city, releasing their spirit creature power straight to the sky and forming dense dark clouds that covered the sky. Each day, these water-kind spirit creatures needed to absorb natural powers to cultivate themselves. Therefore, Pu Ban City was suffused with a strong fishy smell.
Strong creatures worshipped by human clans, such as treemen, jungle spirits, stone men, earth spirits, and all kinds of mysterious non-human creatures also gathered in Pu Ban City because of the general mobilization of the humankind. One could see large groups of strange creatures crossing or even dancing on the streets.
Many clans woke up their strongest worshipped creatures. Therefore, some rare, ancient species showed up in Pu Ban City. According to the legends, some of these species were extinct already, but now, one could find them all in Pu Ban City. Hiderigami[1] was one of these legendary creatures. According to the legend, she attended the war against Chi You with Emperor Xuanyuan. Hiderigami was pretty and slim, looking like a young girl. Less than three hours after she arrived in Pu Ban City, the city was dried. All plants died, and a strong burning stink could be sensed from every area of the city.
Within six hours after she arrived, hundreds of fire accidents happened in the city. Thousands of buildings were burned, even including a granary.
Without a choice, Emperor Xuanyuan visited Hiderigami and respectfully invited her to rest in a large mansion ten-thousand miles away, which was built especially for her. The same evening, the mountain range where the mansion was located suffered a massive wildfire. All plants in that area were incinerated.
While all forces were heading to Pu Ban City, Ji Hao went northward alone.
Chi Ban Mountain line of defense...
The flood was gone, and the mountains, which were soaked in water for years, were already covered in moss and tender grass. Some ancient trees with strong life-force were rooted deep in the mountains. As the flood sank, these trees were again full of vigor and vitality, sprouting new leaves.
The humankind spent incalculable efforts, time, and resources on the Chi Ban Mountain line of defense. Every mountain in this tremendous mountain range were thickly carved with spell symbols, and had a defensive formation buried in it.
Once the flood was gone, the Chi Ban Mountain line of defense was reactivated, and a sizeable number of troops settled in it. Once the army led by Yi Di, Hao Tao, Tao Sha, and the other commanders returned, the Chi Ban Mountain line of defense would have a sufficient force.
