Chapter 196 The embers after the war (2)

After experiencing the devastation of the battle between five Titled Douluo-level experts, less than half of the city was now in ruins.

This was mainly because Tang Hao used the final explosive ring and experienced the final collision with La Ast. Under the collision of two strong men who had reached the ninety-seventh level of Titled Douluo, less than half of the city was destroyed. Almost half of the city was destroyed. It's inevitable.

But this is also a blessing among misfortunes. The ninety-seventh level titled Douluo is considered a high-level combat power in the world of Douluo, but fighting with all his strength like this can only destroy less than half of the city.

In the original plot, the battle between the two gods was so outrageous that one god only knocked down a city wall with all his strength.

It can be said that the combat effectiveness of the Douluo Continent world is undoubtedly far weaker than that of other supernatural worlds, and at most it is equivalent to the combat effectiveness of the Gaowu plane.

Only by reaching the god level can one possibly be able to compete with the top powerhouses in other worlds.

At this time, Huo Zhong, the lord of Xiver City, licked his old face and came to the mansion where Lu Yuan and others were temporarily staying. "Xiweier City—Huo Zhong, came here specially to visit Senior Bone Douluo."

Why he said he was licking his old face was purely because he thought that when Lu Yuan and Tang Hao and others fought that day, he ran away directly.

Without any regard for Lu Yuan's safety, Huo Zhong just ran away on his own, so he had no face to see Lu Yuan.

He was also ready to be rejected, but at this moment, "Lord City Lord, please come in."

Lu Yuan's gentle voice came in, which stunned Huo Zhong.

Entering the small mansion that Lu Yuan temporarily rented, the mansion was quite simple. As soon as he entered, he entered the hall. When he saw Bone Douluo sitting in the center, Huo Zhong bowed his head and bowed, "Junior, I pay my respects to Lord Bone Douluo." .”

Titled Douluo's status was extremely high. Even if Bone Douluo did not hold any position in the Tiandou Empire's court, Huo Zhong still had to call him "Sir".

Bone Douluo nodded and said lightly, "Yes."

Then Huo Zhong saw Lu Yuan sitting on the other side and said with a wry smile, "I hope Master Lu will forgive me for what happened the day before yesterday."

"What's your crime, Lord City Lord?" Lu Yuan said with a chuckle.

Suddenly, it was Huo Zhong's turn to be stunned. Then he looked at Lu Yuan and said hesitantly, "What happened the day before yesterday, I abandoned Master Lu and tried to survive alone..."

"Is the city lord talking about this?" Lu Yuan smiled and shook his head, "I don't care about this in the first place."

He was serious. He had no intention of letting Huo Zhong join the battle. Huo Zhong was just a Soul Emperor with limited cultivation. Coupled with his old age, weak strength and limited talent, he was afraid that Lian Haotian Sect would lead him yesterday. None of the ten third-generation soul king-level disciples who came here could defeat him.

Under this situation, Lu Yuan did not include Huo Zhong in his combat effectiveness.

"Then thank you, Master Lu, for your kindness." Suddenly, Huo Zhong was overjoyed.

"If there is nothing wrong, then I will leave." When he learned that Lu Yuan did not blame him, he felt relieved and said.

"Wait!" At this moment, Lu Yuan suddenly called Huo Zhong again.

Huo Zhong's heart suddenly trembled, and then he forced a smile and said, "Excuse me, Master Lu, if there is anything else you want me to wait for."

"This battle caused heavy losses to Xiver City. This is my responsibility." Lu Yuan said with a smile at this time, "I know that in the near future, the empire will send troops and allocate funds to rebuild the post-war ruins of Xiver City. But the empire has always only taken care of the city, not the people."

"The common people who have lost their homes and property due to this battle will be miserable, and the empire will not notice them."

"But this happened all because of me, I can't sit idly by." Lu Yuan paused, then took out a gold soul card from the star eclipse. A gold soul card represents one million gold soul coins. …

This was one of the two million gold soul coin cards that Lu Yuan gave Ning Fengzhi and Ning Rongrong to Ning Fengzhi and Ning Rongrong back then. Ning Fengzhi gave him two million gold soul coins as a reward.

But over the years, he has not spent much on the two million gold soul coins. Even for daily living expenses, the Yan family is responsible for them. He does not need to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation at all.

Even the clothes he usually wears. In the past four years, Ning Rongrong has continued to help him buy a lot of clothes. As a grown man, he is not very strict about clothes, and he does not have to wear new clothes every day. Degree.

Naturally, he has no place to spend. The two million gold soul coins have only left over 1.9 million gold soul coins over the years. It can be said that he has money but doesn't know where to spend it.

Lu Yuan suddenly understood the pain of the Qibao Glazed Sect. He had money but didn't know where to spend it, how could he not be in pain?

If possible, Lu Yuan believed that Ning Fengzhi would definitely use all the money in the sect to improve the sect's overall strength.

Unfortunately, in the world of Douluo Continent, there are few ways to upgrade by taking drugs. There are only a few ways to quickly increase soul power in this world, such as absorbing soul rings or absorbing soul bones, but taking drugs is definitely not an option.

Even grass jelly is a special case.

Unlike other worlds, you really can't take a foundation-building pill, a Qi-training pill, or something like that to instantly improve your cultivation by one level.

As for things like soul bones, they are priceless in the market of Douluo Continent. Even if you have money, it is difficult to buy them.

After all, everyone is in short supply of this thing, and few people sell it.

Lu Yuan didn't feel particularly sorry for the one million gold soul coins. He mainly wanted to compensate the ordinary people in Xiver City who suffered this time.

"For these one million gold soul coins, I request that each disaster-stricken family be given at least three gold soul coins as compensation based on the number of casualties. If a victim is killed, five more gold soul coins will be distributed to each victim. "Coin pension." Lu Yuan said immediately, "In addition, the food and medical expenses of the refugees in the city these days can be paid from here."

Huo Zhong was stunned and hesitant, "This... is really costing Master Lu a lot, isn't it?"

"This happened all because of me, and I should take responsibility." Lu Yuan shook his head, "You are responsible for all these one million gold soul coins, but for the accounts, I asked Grandpa Bone to send several Qibao Glazed Sect The disciples will check and if they find out that you have enriched your own pockets..."

His sharp eyes made Huo Zhong feel scared.

"Do you understand?" Lu Yuan said with a smile, placing the golden soul card in front of Huo Zhong.

But this card seemed to be a hot potato in Huo Zhong's eyes.

But he knew that he had no right to refuse.

Immediately, Huo Zhong had no choice but to respectfully take the gold soul coin card from Lu Yuan's hand with both hands, and then showed a forced smile, "I understand, little minister."

"I hope the Lord of the City will pay more attention to it. As long as the Lord of the City does this well, I will definitely not treat him badly in the future." Lu Yuan immediately said with a smile.

Huo Zhong could only smile and said, "I understand, I will resign now."

"Yeah." Lu Yuan nodded.

Then Huo Zhong left here.

Only Bone Douluo and Lu Yuan were left at the scene. From the beginning to now, Bone Douluo only said the word "hmm" at the beginning. Other than that, he let Lu Yuan do what he did alone.

This was exactly the same as what he did when he was in the Qibao Glazed Sect, he let Ning Fengzhi give orders and speak, while he and Sword Douluo never interfered.

"Xiao Yuan... why are you doing this?" Bone Douluo was quite puzzled by Lu Yuan's behavior at this time.

Lu Yuan just said quietly, "Grandpa Bone, I just want to put my mind at ease. Okay, let's not talk about this matter for now."

"Although this matter has come to an end for the time being, it is far from over." His words stunned Bone Douluo.

"But Tang Hao and his son have already surrendered. Is there anything unfinished?" Bone Douluo suddenly frowned and asked.

"...it was not only Tang Hao who was killed this time, but also...the Sixth Elder from Haotian Sect." Lu Yuan said immediately.

"The Haotian Sect has been dormant for more than ten years and has accumulated a lot of strength. Just like the sixth elder from the Haotian Sect, he is now a titled Douluo-level soul master. Then the next few The elder should also become a titled Douluo." Lu Yuan said.

"Xiao Yuanzhen is right. The sixth son of the Haotian Sect has already become a Titled Douluo. Maybe those old guys have already become a Titled Douluo." Suddenly, Bone Douluo said with a headache.
