Douluo 2: Transmigrated as an Evil Soul Master, Enemies of the World

Chapter 232 Huo Yuhao Did Nothing Wrong

"This……"

Upon learning of the media report, Elder Xuan stood frozen in place, his face extremely grim.

What should I do now?

"You've exposed your identities?"

Elder Xuan looked at Huo Yuhao and He Caitou and asked in a deep voice.

When he asked that question, he felt it was unlikely.

He knows Huo Yuhao and He Caitou very well, and he is always very calm and composed in his actions.

Huo Yuhao, in particular, is meticulous and would never do anything to expose his identity or whereabouts.

“Elder Xuan, we did not expose our identities and disguised ourselves very well. We just don’t know why they knew it was us so quickly. I think it’s just their guess and they can’t provide any evidence.”

Huo Yuhao's face turned pale as he explained, his words stammering.

How to do?
This has put Shrek Academy in the spotlight.

Shrek Academy will become the target of everyone's attacks.

"That's good. It's probably just their speculation. You really went too far in this matter... so many lives lost..."

Elder Xuan sighed. It was too late to blame anyone now that things had come to this.

What needs to be done right now is to explain and refute as much as possible.

To minimize the negative public opinion surrounding Shrek Academy.

……

Of the sturdy buildings in the Sun and Moon Empire's palace, less than one-tenth was destroyed by the earthquake.

The palace is located in the city center and is not within the one-third of the area that was completely destroyed.

Xu Tianran, pale-faced, emerged from a pile of rubble behind the orange, looking at the huge mushroom cloud not far away and the devastated surroundings.

For a moment, he was stunned.

But after Ah Zhe, the brother-in-law, started to ramble, a figure gathered in the air, followed by a burst of wild laughter. The mysterious national advisor had appeared high in the sky at some unknown time.

The evil spirit masters of the Holy Spirit Cult, carrying their unique sinister aura, ascended into the sky one after another.

Destruction is a huge disaster for ordinary people.

But for these evil spirit masters, it was a dream come true.

"What immense resentment and soul power! Hahahaha..."

After a brief moment of shock, the Shrek Academy group sprang into action. Elder Xuan, his face grim, led everyone in a frantic dash into the distance.

Most of the strong individuals at Shrek Academy were unaware of what had happened or why such a scene had occurred.

Only a very few people, including Zhang Lexuan, vaguely guessed that the earth-shattering explosion just now was caused by the Shrek Seven Devils.

The Shrek Seven Devils are also members of the Tang Sect, which means that this matter was done by Shrek Academy, or it could be said that it was done by the Tang Sect.

The news report is correct.

However, Shrek Academy will inevitably become the target of public criticism in the future. How will it cope with the pressure from public opinion?
How to quell the anger of the common people of the Sun Moon Empire, and even all living beings under heaven?
This disregard for human life will absolutely ruin Shrek Academy's reputation.

Wang Dong'er, Xiao Xiao, and the others knew the whole process best because those high-explosive soul tools were installed with Huo Yuhao's assistance and instructions.

Before leaving the underground warehouse, Huo Yuhao deliberately damaged the elevator and the first-floor door to delay the time it would take for the warehouse to be explored.

Everything was within his calculations; he made no mistakes.

Even the timing of the high-explosive soul tool's detonation was precisely controlled. However, what was unexpected was the sheer terrifying power of the final explosion.

His goal at the time was to destroy the fixed-mount soul-guided shells that could not be carried away.

There are as many as tens of thousands of them.

According to Huo Yuhao's calculations of the power of these fixed-position soul-guided shells, the explosive force could spread up to one kilometer, causing a major earthquake.

Mingde Hall, which was located nearby, could not escape the disaster.

The simultaneous destruction of the underground warehouse and Mingde Hall, two extremely important locations in the Sun Moon Empire, will result in enormous losses.

This is enough to weaken the power of the Sun and Moon Empire.

At the time of the explosion, sixteen level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells were detonated in the underground warehouse of Mingde Hall.

Its power is terrifyingly great.

This will be a day the Sun and Moon Empire will never forget: the day the sun and moon lost their light and were destroyed.

"Everyone, take a break!"

Elder Xuan led the Shrek Academy students into the Western Mountains, and everyone felt their legs were about to give way.

They couldn't imagine who could survive at the core of that horrific explosion.

"All you little guys from the Tang Clan, come here! Le Xuan, you come here too!"

Elder Xuan quickly pulled the lifeless Huo Yuhao aside.

Seeing Elder Xuan's gloomy face, a thought couldn't help but arise in everyone's mind.

No way, could the massive explosion in Mingdu actually be...?

When this thought appeared uncontrollably, everyone's gaze froze.

"Tell me, can anyone tell me what happened with the big explosion?"

Elder Xuan looked at Huo Yuhao, then at the others, his expression grave.

The dazed look in Huo Yuhao's eyes gradually disappeared, and then he raised his head, straightened his back, and said in a deep voice:

“Elder Xuan, it was me who did it. I set up this whole scheme. We discovered an underground warehouse of the Sun Moon Empire, which contained a large quantity of various rare metals, a large number of soul tools stored by the Sun Moon Empire, and fixed-position soul-guided shells. I planted a timed high-explosive soul tool at the fixed-position soul-guided shell site.”

Elder Xuan gasped, the impact of this on him was simply too great:

"Yuhao, Yuhao, do you know how many civilians will be killed or injured, how much devastation this will cause? We are to be the watchdogs of the continent, to protect its peace, but we are not to be executioners! You...you..."

Elder Xuan's hand, which was pointing at Huo Yuhao, trembled. His face turned ashen, and his chest heaved.

I'm so angry!

Now, the Sun Moon Empire media has publicly stated that Shrek Academy was responsible for this incident.

I don't know what to do!

"Elder Xuan, this cannot be entirely blamed on Huo Yuhao!"

Wang Dong'er quickly hugged Huo Yuhao and said with some emotion:

"We didn't know it would turn out like this. Yuhao discovered that underground warehouse through mental detection. Today, he risked damage to his soul, splitting off his spiritual body, and led us into the warehouse even though he was still in danger, all to obtain enough rare metals for the future development of Tang Sect and the academy."

We also wanted to see if we could inflict significant damage on the Day and Night Empire. After arriving at the underground palace, led by Yuhao, we found the storage location for rare metals. That place was terrifying; it contained a large number of soul tools. We took the high-level fixed-position soul-guided cannonballs, leaving behind only a large batch of low-level ones and those we couldn't take—only these could be detonated.

We don't know why the explosion was so powerful; it was completely beyond our expectations. I think it was an accident, probably triggered by some unknown explosive device.

If these explosives, along with the soul-guided devices and fixed-position soul-guided shells we destroyed, were used in a war, how many more casualties would they cause? The number would probably be ten times, a hundred times greater than now. Therefore, I don't think Yuhao did anything wrong. If you must punish someone, punish me too; I support everything he did.”
