Chapter 559: The destruction of the Aodu Chamber of Commerce!

The darkness that shrouded Mingdu has dissipated, but the setting sun in the sky looks like blood, making people dare not look directly at it.

The entire Mingdu was shrouded in a layer of blood.

The explosion sites were all blocked off, all nearby residents were controlled, the injured were sent for treatment, and the dead were placed in a centralized location for treatment.

The army marched through the city streets to maintain law and order. Businesses were closed, and the entire capital was no longer as bustling as before.

Mingdu is blocked!

Fortunately, the explosion did not cause chaos or a greater disaster.

The situation was quickly tallied up.

More than 200,000 people were killed, and more than 50,000 died. The main victim was the area where the level 9 fixed soul guide bomb was detonated, causing more than half of the casualties and affecting the widest area, directly leading to the deaths of several soul fighters, dozens of soul saints, and even seriously injuring Jing Hongchen.

Emperor Sun and Moon fainted due to being too excited, and Crown Prince Xu Tianran temporarily led the ministers to investigate the matter and vowed to find out the result.

Xu Tianran looked grim. Mingdu was the capital of the Sun-Moon Empire. As the crown prince of the Sun-Moon Empire, he regarded the throne as something in his pocket. How could he tolerate this?

Also because of his godmother, Xu Tianran became bolder and directly ordered the army to blockade Mingdu.

Little did he know that the ninth-level fixed-type soul-guided bomb that had done such great service was detonated by his godmother.

On the contrary, he and his ministers felt that the ninth-level fixed-type soul-guided bomb and the previous bomb were all made by the same force. The reason for the time difference in detonation was that the previous bomb was intended to attract the strong men of Mingdu, and the latter bomb was intended to destroy the traces.

No one dared to object to Xu Tianran's arrangements. As long as Xu Tianran's orders did not violate the country's foundation, whoever dared to jump out at this time would be the first to be investigated.

It is even possible that he will be charged with the crime in the end.

Even the other princes didn't dare to speak out and just huddled down obediently.

Huo Yuhao looked disdainful and lamented that it was no wonder that these princes could not compete with Xu Tianran. They did not know how to seize such a good opportunity to fight for power, but let Xu Tianran take over the power. It would be strange if they could win in the future.

Then Huo Yuhao didn't argue.

Because he would not fight for power, and he did not want power. With tens of thousands of souls in hand, it was enough to train the third prince into a Titled Douluo.

Afterwards, during the time when the Sun-Moon Emperor fainted, Huo Yuhao planned to show his "filial piety" to him by visiting the harem more often and comforting the frightened concubines.

When the imperial machine starts running, the energy it brings is terrifying.

First, the exchange students of Shrek Academy were all placed under house arrest in the name of protection. This made the people of Shrek Academy feel resentful, but they did not make any extreme reactions. After all, they were not stupid. They knew that they could not rush into the muzzle of the gun at this time. It was a pity that they could not watch the excitement from the front row. Xian Lin'er also stayed in the academy for the time being.

Then, the White Lotus Altar was completely exposed.

Long Xiaoyao investigated the White Lotus branch, but only caught some new members who had joined.

The core members of the White Lotus Branch have all withdrawn from Mingdu and are hiding for the time being. They will slowly grow stronger in dormancy. For the time being, Huo Yuhao does not need to intervene.

However, both the Holy Spirit Church and the Sun-Moon Empire issued wanted orders for all the people in the White Lotus branch, especially the messenger of death.

Because they all believed that the White Lotus branch was responsible for this tragedy. After all, Beibei's disappearance was related to them, and they all ran away after the explosion. If they were not the murderers, why would they run away? !

After receiving the news, Zhongli Wu said that he was not wrong about the Death Messenger. The Death Messenger was indeed a troublemaker, and he had made trouble for the Holy Spirit Master. After catching the Death Messenger, he would definitely refine the Death Messenger.

Finally, there is the Aodu Chamber of Commerce.

The Aodu Chamber of Commerce had been completely abandoned, and the blame was pinned on them. Only An Litong and four elders safely withdrew to the military.

As expected, the military chose to protect them. Not only because they brought back a lot of resources, but also because their strength had improved and they might become Title Douluo in the future.

Although the military lost a black glove, they gained back five title seeds, which was not a loss. The black glove would be supported later.

As for where those resources came from, they were naturally plundered from other forces. An Litong and others, who had already thought about evacuating, took advantage of the excuse of searching for Beibei to extort money from various forces.

The final proceeds were split 50-50 with Huo Yuhao. The reason for the split was that An Litong and his team had to bring back a generous gift to the military, so that the military would be more likely to accept them.

At worst, you can get it back later.

After An Litong and the four elders disappeared, the remaining members of the Aodu Chamber of Commerce were met with devastating retaliation. There were retaliations from other forces, and there was also the annihilation of the empire. After all, the Aodu Chamber of Commerce was now taking the blame.

Public grievances were also directed at the Aodu Chamber of Commerce.

But the casualties this time were mainly civilians, not those big forces. To the top leaders, casualties were just a string of numbers, and they just needed to fool people into believing it was the case.

The ones who really care about the common people are the royal family, because they still need the support of the people. So they have to give the people a target to vent their grievances.

Eventually, this once one of the three major underground forces in Mingdu became history, with most of its members dead and all profits divided up among various forces.

Previously, the members of the Aodu Chamber of Commerce, under the suggestion of An Litong and others, fought very boldly. As a result, now something happened. An Litong and others simply disappeared, and the remaining members almost all died miserably, with few survivors.

However, everything ended there and there was no further targeting of the military.

Xishui League and Pingfan League also gained certain benefits. However, Xishui League and Pingfan League also failed to escape the empire's search.

Fortunately, after paying a certain amount of interest, the two forces escaped unharmed.

At the last count, they found that they had not made much money at all.

The Xishui League will be investigated not only because the process must be followed, but also because the one who manages the Xishui League now is the Blue Silver Saint, not Nangong Wan.

The Blue Silver Saint is not Ye Xishui's person.

Xu Tianran showed no mercy either.

Without exposing the Title Douluo and the Holy Spirit Church, the Blue Silver Saintess could only suffer this loss. Fortunately, Tang Ya borrowed the power of the Title Douluo and pretended to be powerful, and actually subdued the Xishui League.

In short, this time, no matter the murderer, the empire, or the Holy Spirit Church or other forces, they all gained something.

Only innocent people were hurt.

……

It took more than half a month before the incident was completely settled and Mingdu barely returned to normal.

But the aftermath of this incident will continue to have an impact for a long time before gradually becoming a thing of the past.

There is nothing we can do about this.

After all, the number of casualties this time was too high, and the people of Mingdu felt the pain truly.

Xu Tianran looked at the report from his subordinates and nodded with satisfaction. Mingdu returned to normal and he further controlled the court. This time, by destroying the Aodu Chamber of Commerce, he dealt with several officials who opposed him and suppressed other princes by the way.

Even his third brother, who had been a little restless recently, had been suppressed and had not come out to cause trouble for a long time. On weekdays, he would only go to the palace to care for his unconscious father.

Did he think that this would win his father's love? Or did he think that his father would help him out when he woke up?

Haha, since my father is in a coma, it is better for him not to wake up forever. When he completely controls the court, it will be the time for my father to pass away!
