Even with the support of the Sun Moon Empire's Imperial Treasury, Huo Yuhao and the empire's pill refiners had to work at full capacity for five whole days before they met Mingdu's current needs.
With the initial relief of the injured residents complete, Kong Deming immediately stated that Huo Yuhao would no longer need to contribute to the follow-up work.
Just as they had heard in Mingdu, Xu Tianyuan had been chosen by the Offering Hall to become the Sun Moon Empire's new emperor.
However, Kong Deming had not killed Xu Tianran.
Kong Deming and the Offering Hall had joined forces to seal Xu Tianran's Martial Soul and Soul Power, sparing his life.
They wanted to wait until Huo Yuhao could refine pills that restored fertility in the future, then try to have Xu Tianran pass down the purple brilliant heaven destroying dragon Martial Soul.
Of course, as far as the public was concerned, the Offering Hall naturally declared Xu Tianran dead. They also arranged for a palace attendant to wear a Human Skin Mask of Xu Tianran, then had Xu Tianyuan behead that man before the people of the Sun Moon Empire.
