When it is determined that the core of the explosion is on the side of the Mingde Hall.
Jing Hongchen, this Level 9 Soul Engineer who has gone through countless storms and waves without changing his expression, seems to have had his backbone ripped out in an instant!
On his old and majestic face, the blood disappeared like the ebbing tide and became as pale as paper!
"Pfft--!" A mouthful of bright red blood spurted out from deep in his throat, turning into a miserable mist of blood in the air!
The blood mist slowly drifted away in the breeze, just like his broken heart at this moment!
His body shook violently, and his cloudy eyes were full of disbelief and despair that penetrated his bones!
He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but all he could make was a "ho... ho..." sound.
Then his vision went dark, and his whole body fell backwards like a chopped down old tree!
Passed out!
Mingde Hall is his foundation! It is the Imperial Soul Guidance Temple that he has devoted his whole life and spent decades to build!
It is his ambition to surpass his mentor Kong Deming and leave his name in history! It is his greatest comfort in his later years!
This shocking explosion will set back the entire Sun Moon Empire and Soul Tool research by several years, even decades!
Those precious and non-replicable experimental data, those Core Array drawings that have been optimized to the extreme after being passed down for generations...
Those mountains of Rare Metal materials that are valuable but not marketable... are all gone!
Not even the scum is left!
Not to mention the researchers who are working inside the Mingde Hall and whom he personally trained.
Those young people who represent the future of the Sun Moon Empire Soul Tool Technology... their casualties are simply immeasurable!
However, the biggest reason why Jing Hongchen almost became so angry that he almost died of anger was not those things outside of him.
But, his grandson and granddaughter!
At that time, my grandson and granddaughter were studying at the Mingde Hall!
Now, Mingde Hall has been turned into a scorched ruin and was razed to the ground. Where are his grandson and granddaughter...?
If my grandson and granddaughter, who are extremely talented and carry Hongchen Family's future hopes, die again...
Then Jing Hongchen will probably vomit all his life force with this mouthful of blood!
He would rather die than have the white-haired man give away the black-haired man!
At this moment, a violently trembling, crying voice came rolling and crawling from the distance.
A retainer, perhaps the chief eunuch responsible for the affairs of the royal family.
He rolled and crawled towards Xu Tianran, his fairly fair face now full of sadness.
Tears mixed with dust, running down two shocking ravines on his face. "Your Highness... something is not going well... something serious is going to go wrong..."
Xu Tianran was furious, his pale face turned livid with anger, and he turned his head suddenly when he heard the words.
His bloodshot eyes almost burst out of fire, and he shouted angrily:
"What's wrong?"
"It's all cursed by you bastards!"
When he hears the word "bad" now, he feels his heart twitching and his scalp numb! He can no longer withstand any torture!
The attendant was frightened by Xu Tianran's fierce shouting, but he couldn't care less about the message of life and death.
He knelt on the ground with a plop, his forehead firmly pressed against the gravel-filled earth, and his voice trembled so much that he could hardly form a sentence:
"Your Majesty, he... passed away..."
"Boom--" Xu Tianran seemed to have another Level 9 Fixed Soul Guidance Shell exploding in his mind!
The anger on his face solidified instantly!
The distorted facial features, bulging veins, and face flushed with anger.
At this moment, it was as if Immobilization Technique had been cast, and I was completely frozen!
An extremely subtle and strange light that could not be detected by outsiders flashed under his lowered eyes.
It is the relief of a heavy burden, the excitement of ambitions about to be realized, and the joy of receiving gifts again after being teased by fate!
This message, to him, seemed to be the only good message among the ruins today!
No, this is great news!
The death of the emperor means that he, Xu Tianran, His Royal Highness, can finally be righted and justified!
He can take off the title of "Prince" and replace it with the crown that symbolizes Sun Moon Empire's supreme power!
And the military power he currently holds, the remaining forces of the Mingde Hall.
And Holy Spirit Cult, the trump card hidden in the dark, is enough to help him successfully ascend the throne and suppress all dissatisfaction!
Originally, the biggest obstacle to his ascension to the throne came from the die-hard veteran forces headed by the Xu Guozhong group.
Those old guys have been in control of the government for many years and are deeply entrenched. Their party members are all over the government and the public. They have been secretly opposing him and trying to support other princes.
But after the horrific explosion just like Heaven's Punishment, can those old guys in the luxurious Prince's Courtyard in Ming Capital Eastern District still survive?
Everything seems not so bad again...
Xu Tianran's clenched fist slowly loosened, and his pale fingers even trembled slightly.
On his face, an undetectable smile crept up silently like a poisonous snake.
He raised his head and looked at the large number of Evil Soul Master that had already gathered there.
Looking at those evil beings who were greedily devouring the souls of innocent people and whose strength was rapidly increasing, Xu Tianran gritted his teeth hard, as if he had made a major decision.
Immediately, he suddenly fell to his knees, holding his hands on the ground full of gravel and rubble, looking up to the sky and crying loudly.
His voice was heartbreaking, like a filial son who had lost his father and was heartbroken:
"Father--!"
"Why did you just leave--!!!"
The couple didn't know whether it was because of grief or because they felt sorry for the palace that couldn't be repaired in those years.
Or perhaps because he was excited about the throne he was about to receive, the tears he shed instantly fell down his pale and thin cheeks.
Those tears, illuminated by the firelight, were crystal clear, making it difficult to tell whether they were true or false.
Not long after, in the direction of the Mingde Hall ruins.
Several figures in tattered clothes and covered with dust, as if they had climbed out of a pile of dead people, stumbled and supported each other, and appeared here.
The four people are, Long Zhanye, Ye Guyi, Xiao Hongchen, and Meng Hongchen.
The images of the four people were extremely embarrassed.
Their clothes were torn into strips by the shock wave, and their faces and bodies were covered with dust and blood.
Most of his hair was singed, and his steps were shaky, as if he would fall down at any time.
Jing Hongchen, who was crying in despair, saw those two familiar figures, and his pupils suddenly dilated!
His cloudy eyes instantly erupted with the dazzling brilliance of a dying man grabbing a life-saving straw!
He almost rolled over and rushed over, and his tear-stained face instantly broke out into a smile as innocent as a child's!
He hugged his grandson and granddaughter tightly in his arms, with such force that he seemed to want to knead them into his body and never separate them again!
An old man who is nearly a hundred years old and stands at the pinnacle of mainland Soul Tool.
A Level 9 Soul Engineer, Mingde Hall master who can make the whole Sun Moon Empire shake three times by stamping his feet.
At this moment, seeing that his grandson and granddaughter were safe and sound, he couldn't control his emotions. Like a child, he fell on his granddaughter's shoulder and burst into tears.
The crying was filled with joy, fear, excitement, and catharsis.
His nerves, which had been tense for a long time, finally broke completely at the moment when he saw that his loved ones were safe and sound!
Meng Hongchen also started crying, his hair was covered with dust.
Her beautiful big eyes were red from crying, and the tears washed away the dust on her face, revealing some streaks of fair skin.
She was sobbing and her voice was broken. "Grandpa... I... I thought... I would never see you again..."
She hugged her grandfather's old body and cried like a frightened child.
The three grandsons and grandsons hugged each other and cried in the ruins. The scene, in this apocalyptic scene, was full of happiness and a touch of warmth in the aftermath of the disaster.
