He Caitou It is very clear that his father, mother, queen, and three sisters did not die of food poisoning. He clearly remembers that that night, a terrifying figure sneaked into the palace and massacred people. His mother stuffed him into a secret passage so that he could survive.
Thinking about it now, the terrifying figure at that time should be Evil Soul Master of Holy Spirit Cult. The current royal family of the Sun Moon Empire has been colluding with Evil Soul Master for a long time, and they did not just collude with each other in recent years.
Over the years, he has never forgotten this blood feud. Even as time went by, this hatred became more intense and even turned his anger on the entire Sun Moon Empire.
But he did not think about massacring Sun Moon Empire civilians. The targets of his revenge should be the current Sun Moon Empire royal family and the participants in the original incident, not innocent civilians.
He hates Sun Moon Empire, but civilians are innocent. The consequences of this catastrophe are unimaginable. Now we don't even know the actual number of casualties of Mingdu.
Xuan Zi's mood seemed to have calmed down a bit. Just when he was about to say something, Zhang Lexuan's gentle voice sounded.
"Xuan Zi, as the leader of this mission, I am also responsible for poor supervision, and I am willing to accept the punishment."
Bei Bei and Jiang Nannan also came to Xu Sanshi and said firmly, "We are in the same team and are accomplices, and we are also willing to accept the punishment."
Xu Sanshi and He Caitou's expressions changed and they said quickly, "This matter has nothing to do with you. You don't know about it. We are acting arbitrarily and act recklessly without Senior Disciple Sister's consent."
He Caitou continued, "Xuan Zi, I am willing to withdraw from the college. In this way, if anyone finds out about this matter in the future, I will take full responsibility and it will never affect the reputation of the college."
When he was at his most desperate, it was his teacher Fan Yu who took him in, and it was Shrek Academy who gave him a home. He did not want to implicate Shrek Academy and was willing to bear the consequences.
Xuan Zi shook his head and said, "Okay, I already understand the ins and outs. As for the punishment, we will wait until we return to the academy. You can rest first and set off in a quarter of an hour."
After finishing speaking, Xuan Zi glanced at everyone calmly, then turned around and left without saying anything more.
When Ma Xiaotao saw Xuan Zi leaving, he quickly got in front of Zhang Lexuan and said softly, "Sister Lexuan, what's going on?"
Zhang Lexuan shook his head and motioned to Ma Xiaotao not to inquire. The less people knew about this matter, the better. Although everyone had speculations, it was best not to mention this matter openly. It was enough to know it well.
Ma Xiaotao curled his lips and said, "Forget it if you don't tell me, I'm too lazy to care."
Then she worriedly said, "I wonder if Ji Lin successfully left Mingdu. He won't be stupid enough to stay in Mingdu and wait for tomorrow's finals, right?"
Zhang Lexuan frowned slightly, then relaxed and said, "He is very smart. Such a big thing happened, he will not stay. With His Majesty Chi Yuan here, they should be able to leave safely."
Originally, she wanted to wait for Ji Lin to leave together after the game tomorrow, but after something like this happened, it was no longer appropriate to stay. She could only pray that Ji Lin and the others would go well.
Seeing that Xuan Zi didn't have an attack on the spot, Xu Sanshi breathed a sigh of relief, patted He Caitou on the shoulder and said, "Okay, Caitou, you can't be entirely blamed for this, who knows What the hell is wrong with the Sun Moon Empire? What kind of horrible thing was placed underground? I can only hope that the number of casualties this time will be smaller. Although they are Sun Moon Empire's people, they are all innocent civilians!"
At the end, Xu Sanshi sighed.
Jiang Nannan also sighed softly, "War is the most cruel. I can only hope that this incident can stop the war and prevent such tragedies from happening again."
Bei Bei shook his head and said, "It's difficult. Holy Spirit Cult is huge in strength, and Xu Tianran is ambitious. This loss is indeed huge for them, but it is far from enough to wipe out their ambition."
"As long as the academy doesn't mention this matter, no one will know that it has anything to do with us. Anyway, Sun Moon Empire is not the only one who is suspected of us. And Body Sect, who is good at underground operations, seems to be much more suspect than us."
Xu Sanshi's mouth twitched. "It seems a bit unkind to divert trouble to the east, doesn't it?"
After a slight pause, he continued, "But why do I kind of like this feeling..."
Jiang Nannan said angrily, "Because you two are equally thick-skinned."
"Who, who, who!" Xu Tianran roared to the sky, and the angry voice spread throughout the palace.
At this time, a large number of people began to save lives and heal the wounded, and data continued to come in one after another.
This time, Mingdu suffered horrific casualties, and the economic losses were inestimable.
A large number of buildings in the palace collapsed, but because most of the attendants and maids were busy, very few people were buried, and the internal Soul Tool structures were solid enough. But even so, the materials needed to repair the palace buildings were huge. Those Soul Tools were more or less damaged in the previous violent shock, let alone the buildings.
In addition, Mingdu West District, large areas of buildings collapsed, and the number of civilian casualties continued to rise. Under that terrifying explosion, the casualties were very heavy.
Although Xu Tianran couldn't be moved by the dead people, the death of so many people at once still made Xu Tianran miserable. What made him even more distressed was the large amount of materials in the underground warehouse, as well as the dozen Level 9 Soul Tool Cannon Shells.
These are the fundamental reasons why he launched a war of aggression. What does it mean if they all disappear? This means that his plan will be postponed indefinitely, and even the wealthy Sun Moon Empire cannot bear this loss.
This big explosion directly reduced Sun Moon Empire's military reserves by one-third.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, it's not good." A violently trembling voice came from afar, and an attendant rolled and crawled towards this side, with a look of sadness on his face.
Xu Tianran said angrily, "What's wrong? This kind of thing happened because of you bastards' curse."
"Your Highness, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, he passed away..."
Hearing these words, Xu Tianran's originally full face of anger froze in an instant, and a touch of joy flashed across his eyes. For him, this was the only good news during this huge loss today. The emperor was dead, which meant that the emperor was dead. The only obstacle in front of him has also disappeared. With the power he currently controls, it is enough to support him to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor. Originally, the biggest obstacle was some anti-war nobles, but after the Mingdu Explosion incident, will the anti-war nobles still resist the war? Do they still dare to resist the war? Mingdu people who have lost their loved ones will regard them as a thorn in their side.
Originally, Sun Moon Empire's public opinion may not have supported the war, but after this time, the direction of public opinion can be imagined.
With popular support, no one can stop him.
Everything seems to be not so bad again...
Looking up at the large number of Evil Soul Master already gathered there in the sky, Xu Tianran gritted his teeth hard and cried loudly, "Father, Father, why did you just leave!" Two lines of tears, whether due to grief or distress, fell instantly.
On the other side, Ji Lin and others were moving forward rapidly in the direction of the Star Luo Empire. Nan Qiu Qiu looked back at the direction of Mingdu and muttered, "Strange, why no one came to chase us. Where are those Evil Soul Masters? Where are they?"
Ji Lin said angrily, "You really expect someone to come after us! They won't come. Mingdu Millions of casualties. That place is now Evil Soul Master's paradise. No Evil Soul Master will give up the temptation there. No matter how Holy Spirit Cult hates us, facing the temptation of a breakthrough in cultivation, he can put these things down temporarily."
After saying that, Ji Lin sighed. He was also planning to keep the Evil Soul Master who was chasing him. It would be best for that Spirit Hall Master to take action in person. He wanted to try to see if the leader could block his Heavenly Fire Tribulation Annihilation.
Freedom Gate and Earth Dragon Sect did not delay and concentrated on their way.
"How is the situation?" Sun Moon Empire Regent and Crown Prince Xu Tianran, who were dressed in mourning, asked with serious expressions.
The Imperial Minister of Defense, who knelt on one knee in front of him, said solemnly, "The situation has stabilized, but the losses have been heavy, especially the construction losses. West District was completely destroyed, and the underground warehouse was probably also destroyed."
Xu Tianran waved his hand and said, "I don't want to hear the loss data. I want to ask you, how is the public's mood now?"
The Defense Minister said, "The mood is very unstable, especially among the families who suffered casualties. Many people are homeless. Most of them are out-of-towners who come to watch the game, and the casualties are the highest."
Xu Tianran nodded and said, "Pass my order, mobilize the resources of nearby cities, immediately go all out to rescue the dead and heal the wounded, and mobilize the army to enter the city to maintain order. Anyone who dares to take the opportunity to cause trouble will be killed without mercy. Anyone who deceives people's hearts will be killed without mercy. Anyone who commits adultery and plundering will be killed without mercy." Kill without mercy, we must stabilize the situation in the shortest possible time, and at the same time, designate today as the national mourning day, and strictly block the news of His Majesty's funeral. At the same time, you personally wrote an article blaming Star Luo Empire and Heaven Dou Empire for this big explosion."
"Yes." The Minister of Defense agreed respectfully. He admired His Highness the Regent for being able to stabilize his emotions in the first place. He was able to handle so many things at once in an orderly manner. He was indeed a wise king!
"Your Highness, what about the Shrek Academy? This matter is probably related to them. When we announced it to the outside world..."
Xu Tianran shook his head and said, "There is no need to mention them. Shrek is just an academy after all. It makes no sense to add them in a big sense. Moreover, they are the spiritual leaders of many soul masters. Adding them will affect our strategy. I will avenge this sooner or later."
"Yes. That minister is resigning."
