Chapter 210 Creation Hall
Ye Guyi refused Huo Yuhao's suggestion to leave the undead demiplane.
She said she wanted to stay here and observe these undead creatures with the power of light.
"Although they possess the attribute of light, their essence is still that of the dead."
"I want to study them thoroughly, so that if the Holy Spirit Cult has a corresponding martial spirit, I will have ways to target them in the future."
After thinking it over carefully, Huo Yuhao agreed to Ye Guyi's request.
After giving the undead creatures here an order not to harm Ye Guyi, he quietly opened a portal to the undead demiplane and returned to Mingdu.
At this moment, Mingdu was in dire straits, with thick smoke slowly rising from the western suburbs of Mingdu.
Huo Yuhao was stunned when he saw the scene in Mingdu.
According to his observations using mental detection, Huo Yuhao discovered that the situation in the western suburbs of Mingdu was actually worse than that in Shrek City.
This is no longer a loss that could be caused by a few level 9 fixed-position soul-guided shells.
"What exactly is buried beneath Mingde Hall?"
Huo Yuhao found it hard to believe.
Streaks of light streaked across the sky above Mingdu, all of them belonging to Soul Masters responsible for treating the wounded and assessing the losses.
Fragments of their conversation drifted on the wind.
"The Master of the Red Dust Hall vomited blood and fell into a coma."
"The estimated number of casualties is 50,000, and the economic losses are incalculable."
The Crown Prince urgently summoned Lin Yi back to Mingdu to treat the wounded.
"The Hall of Offerings intends to support the leader of the Heavenly Origin Group as emperor."
After hearing the conversation of these Soul Masters, Huo Yuhao's expression became even more complicated.
With the arrival of the undead calamity and the earth-shattering explosion, the situation in Mingdu is racing headlong toward an outcome no one could have foreseen.
Electrolux's shout in mid-air definitively labeled Xu Tianran as collaborating with the Holy Spirit Cult.
Even though the situation in Mingdu was chaotic at the time, many civilians still heard this cry.
Now that the situation is gradually calming down, a wave of condemnation against Xu Tianran is slowly gathering around the palace.
Even if Xu He hadn't been killed in the bombing, the Gongfeng Hall would have had a hard time protecting Xu Tianran in the face of overwhelming public opinion.
Now, Xu Tianran can only try every possible way to save his life.
Huo Yuhao was not in a hurry to go to Mingdu to switch identities back with Tianmeng.
He moved through the ruins, using the pretext of rescuing the injured to secretly gather information.
"Commander Tianyuan is currently gathering the Imperial Dragon Soul Instructor Corps, and it seems he will soon take over the Imperial Palace."
"Elder Kong personally ordered a halt to all research on soul tools to focus all efforts on disaster relief."
"The palace has been surrounded by angry crowds, and some have even launched suicide attacks."
The ending of Mingdu was even more chaotic than Huo Yuhao had anticipated.
He originally only wanted to take the opportunity to loot the armory, weaken the Sun Moon Empire's war potential, and incidentally throw dirty water on Xu Tianran.
However, the power of the explosion far exceeded his expectations, and it killed Xu He on the spot.
The rivalry between the two crown princes of the Sun Moon Empire ended in a dramatic fashion, with both sides perishing together.
Xu Tianyuan, who never even considered the throne, turned out to be the biggest winner.
"Xu Tianyuan is the head of the Imperial Dragon Soul Instructor Corps. If he ascends the throne, he can be regarded as a Martial Emperor."
"What the Sun Moon Empire needs right now is not war, but recuperation."
Huo Yuhao thought to himself, "Since Xu He returned to the capital, the popular uprisings in the Sun Moon Empire have become increasingly fierce with the support of the Prince's faction."
"The Hall of Offerings wants to end the struggle between the two princes as soon as possible, not only to create a safe environment for Lin Yi to grow up in, but also because the Sun Moon Empire cannot withstand the turmoil of numerous uprisings."
"The explosion of this underground warehouse has directly caused incalculable economic losses to the capital, and the decline in the field of soul guidance was also unexpected."
"Can a martial emperor like Xu Tianyuan restore order to the current chaotic situation of the Sun Moon Empire?"
Huo Yuhao did not think highly of Xu Tianyuan.
He began to silently calculate the losses of the Sun Moon Empire.
After this explosion, if the Sun Moon Empire wanted to quickly return to its previous state of preparedness, it had no choice but to develop the main vein of the Jingyang Mountains, which it had previously been reluctant to touch.
Even so, it will take them at least five years to begin to recover.
Moreover, the rare metals available during this period could not be fully supplied for new scientific research; they could only be used to manufacture war soul guides.
Huo Yuhao pondered as he swiftly traversed Mingdu.
Finally, he stood on the outskirts of Mingdu, quietly waiting for Wang Yiheng to return with Tianmeng.
"The best way to preserve Lin Yi's identity is to have him die in front of the Hall of Worship, leaving them with some promising but unlikely breakthroughs in soul guidance within the next few decades."
"Only by taking a two-pronged approach can we curb the Sun Moon Empire's recovery momentum while also derailing their high-end sectors."
The roar of soul-guided vehicles came from afar, and Wang Yiheng's convoy, which had only been gone for half a day, appeared on the horizon amidst a cloud of dust.
As the convoy approached the resonance range between Huo Yuhao and Tianmeng's heartstrings, Huo Yuhao immediately transmitted his voice to Tianmeng.
Then, Tianmeng used the excuse of getting out of the car to relieve herself to switch identities with Huo Yuhao.
Sitting in the soul-guided vehicle, Huo Yuhao gently stroked the bio-alchemy furnace with his fingers: "Big brother, why did we suddenly turn back?"
Wang Yiheng's face was exceptionally gloomy: "Brother, something unexpected has happened in Mingdu that neither of us could have foreseen."
"Things have come to this point, and I can no longer hide it from you. Our underground arms depot in Mingdu has exploded."
"This explosion also affected Mingde Hall, detonating the sixteen level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannons below, causing huge casualties."
"Furthermore, the Holy Spirit Cult members took the opportunity to wreak havoc in Mingdu. I suspect that this explosion was caused by their people."
""
"We now need the Ice and Fire Creation Furnace to refine pills at full power to treat the injured residents of the city."
"Xia Xuanchen, who just delivered the message, has already headed to the Demon Forest. You should complete the acquisition of your third soul ring in Mingdu."
"When you return, remember not to mention the two princes."
Huo Yuhao pretended to be hearing the news for the first time and leaned out of the car in shock.
The convoy sped into Mingdu.
The once bustling streets were now a scene of devastation, with rescue workers moving through the devastation and cries of pain echoing through the air.
However, around the palace, tens of thousands of people had gathered, holding up banners that read "Kill the evil prince," and their angry shouts grew louder and louder.
The explosion occurred in the western suburbs of Mingdu. At that moment, residents from the east, south, and north mobilized and gathered around the palace to launch this massive protest.
Huo Yuhao looked through the car window at those angry faces.
Xu Tianran has truly fallen this time. Public opinion is overwhelming, and even the sacrificial hall is feeling the pressure.
The convoy stopped outside the palace, and Wang Yiheng led Huo Yuhao quickly toward the makeshift medical station.
The treatment center is located at the Mingdu Soul Master Academy. The Hall of Worship, led by Kong Deming, has decided to transform this place into a new holy land for future Soul Masters.
Kong Deming directed the rescue operation from the Mingdu Soul Master Academy.
His snow-white hair was disheveled, and his eyes were bloodshot, yet he still maintained an astonishing level of focus.
Upon seeing Huo Yuhao arrive, he briefly spoke to him before continuing, "The national treasury's resources are now completely open to you. Your pill-refining speed far surpasses that of our alchemists, so your task is very important."
"I've instructed Xuan Ziwen to fully cooperate with you. If there's anything you need, just tell him. I have important matters to attend to right now."
Huo Yuhao bowed deeply and said, "Rest assured, Elder Kong, I will do my utmost."
As for the important matter Kong Deming mentioned, it is probably to quell the surging public opinion outside.
"Master Lin, please follow me." Xuan Ziwen led Huo Yuhao to the central laboratory of Mingdu Soul Master Academy.
At this moment, the place is piled high with various medicinal herbs, and dozens of alchemists from Mingdu are refining pills here with bloodshot eyes.
Huo Yuhao raised his hand and summoned the Transformation Qi Refining Furnace. The giant furnace, three meters in diameter, landed with a loud thud, causing the area to tremble.
He took the prescription from Xuan Ziwen, studied it carefully, and began to refine the elixir.
Huo Yuhao had no objection to treating the civilians injured in the explosion and chaos.
From a utilitarian perspective, even if these people join the army in the future, they will only be used as cannon fodder to consume Heavenly Souls or Star Luo.
Moreover, keeping them alive would further deplete the Sun Moon Empire's resource reserves.
But from the bottom of his heart, Huo Yuhao also didn't want to see too many innocent civilians die tragically.
Through his previous undercover work in the Sun Moon Empire, Huo Yuhao already knew that the residents of Mingdu were primarily anti-war.
The blame for the Mingdu explosion has been shifted to the Holy Spirit Cult, and their hatred towards the Heavenly Soul has actually weakened considerably.
Even when Huo Yuhao arrived at the Mingdu Soul Master Academy, he could still hear someone shouting that the Sun Moon Empire should follow the example of the Heavenly Soul Empire and launch a new campaign to purge evil soul masters from its territory.
While operating the Transformation Furnace, Huo Yuhao observed Xuan Ziwen's expression.
This once brilliant researcher from Mingdetang now had a face full of fatigue and worry.
"Researcher Xuan, you should go and rest. I'm fine here," Huo Yuhao said.
Xuan Ziwen shook his head: "They are not aware of your refining habits, which will delay your progress."
Red and blue flames flowed within the Qi Refining Furnace, and Huo Yuhao manipulated the fusion reaction of the medicinal herbs with his fingertips, his soul power as fine as silk.
He kept talking to Xuan Ziwen, testing his limits time and time again.
After finishing today's pill refining work, Huo Yuhao and Xuan Ziwen went to the rest room.
"The Sun Moon Empire plans to transform the Mingdu Soul Master Academy into a brand-new Soul Master Holy Land."
Xuan Ziwen sat down next to Huo Yuhao: "And the name of the new holy land will no longer be Mingde Hall."
"Instead, it was named after the ice and fire creation furnace that Lin worshipped, and it is called the Creation Hall."
"The enshriners of the Hall of Offerings, along with Prince Tianyuan, have decided that once Enshriner Lin becomes a Soul Saint, he will be promoted to the position of Hall Master of the Hall of Creation."
