Surrounded by a large group of non-humankind guards, Yu Huo laughed proudly.
As he expected, once Emperor Shun began acting unreasonably, Ji Xia would be able to do nothing to him. The immeasurable natural reward proved that Emperor Shun was a good emperor, an admired leader. Except for the insane ones, who would dare to point a weapon at him?
Even though the natural rewards power caused Yu Huo a serious trouble, leaving him no choice but to concentrate most of the power of Pan Yu's Brian on Emperor Shun, it was worth it. Yu Huo laughed delightfully. Emperor Shun was a trump card. Which human being dare to disrespect him?
In midair, Emperor Shun's body glowed brightly. His strong sword intent suffused the air, forcing all divine warriors away. Under Ji Xia's order, no divine warrior dared to truly attack Emperor Shun. Human warriors under Emperor Shun's leadership were controlled by Yu Huo too. They determinedly followed Emperor Shun's order and forced everyone who tried to leave back to the altar.
People panicked. They looked at Emperor Shun in both anger and shock; they didn't know what to do.
As they thought, Emperor Shun was controlled, and the one controlling him wanted the throne. What should they do now? Marching towards the elder and bringing Emperor Shun down? Who dared to lead the action? Who dared to make the first move? Who was willing to do it?
As Si Wen Ming's supporters, the clan leaders and princes slowly swallowed saliva, fixing their eyes on Ji Xia, who was in the distance now. Many of them even wanted to yell out loud at Ji Xia, 'Ji Xia, fight! Why don't you fight? What're you afraid of? Why are you hesitating? Are you still a man?'
Nevertheless, even if they yelled at the top of their lungs, Ji Xia wouldn't dare to put up a desperate fight against Emperor Shun. They knew that they dared not to do it themselves either, so how could they force Ji Xia to do it?
The footstep sounds sounded like rumbling thunders as countless civilians were forced back to the altar. The shouts of the human warriors in dark armors could be heard from all directions. They repeated Emperor Shun's order over and over again, 'Whoever dares to leave the ceremony will be treated as a traitor of the humankind, and his or her entire family will be punished.'
Gradually, the crowd around the altar grew thick again, such that one would not be able to see its edge with one glance. People fixed their eyes on Emperor Shun while whispering to each other. The whispers echoed and became powerful sound waves, which even vibrated the earth slightly.
People, so many people… All civilians in Pu Ban City had gathered together, added with the clan leaders from the other areas. So many people! Ji Xia clenched his fists. Just now, he put a fake crime on Gong Sun Su Su and Gong Sun Xu, and captured them, because too many people were in here. Even if he were willing to fight Emperor Shun, to stop Emperor Shun with the power of the heaven and earth great formation, the people on the scene would certainly suffer a great casualty once he started the battle.
Billions of human beings gathered in this area. Once a supreme-level war began, all living beings in this whole area would be wiped out. Ji Xia tried pretty hard to send away these people, but now, Emperor Shun's warriors forced back everyone.
He had no solution.
Fight? He truly didn't have the courage to fight Emperor Shun.
Not fight? If he didn't fight, Emperor Shun would truly hand the crown to an unreliable person.
Fight? So many people were on the scene. Once a war burst out, how many innocent people would be killed?
