Douluo: Son of the Stars

Chapter 145 Trial
"Tsk, I didn't realize you were so ruthless."

Just as Huo Yuhao was rejoicing that the explosion did not cause a large number of casualties among the people of Mingdu, a voice sounded behind him.

Shrek and the Tang Clan members who rushed to West Mountain immediately turned around, and only let down their guard when they found that it was Tong Rui.

"Senior Tong Rui, I'm sorry, I really didn't know the consequences would be so serious."

"Although I don't care how much damage the war will cause, the civilians are innocent. I hope you can think twice next time."

Tong Rui criticized Huo Yuhao seriously for once.

After all, there is no permanent peace in the world. Wherever there are people, there will be disputes.

Therefore, Tong Rui would not stop the military from sacrificing their lives in the war.

After all, the moment they joined the army, they should have been aware of the danger of death. When they chose to join the army, they were actively throwing themselves into the fight.

But the people in the city are completely different, no matter what mentality they hold or what kind of sins are mixed among them.

Massacre should never happen to kind and innocent people.

"Perhaps you have no idea about this explosion. Then let time tell you the consequences that would have occurred."

Seeing that Wang Dong'er was still trying to make excuses for Huo Yuhao, Tong Rui used the power of time to capture the moment when he failed to stop the explosion.

After the explosion, the earth was groaning, the earth was roaring, and everything was shaking.

In an instant, Mingdu seemed to have turned into a place where hell had descended. The incomparable and terrifying explosion force almost instantly swept over one-third of the area of ​​the continent's largest city. The strong shock wave almost swept the entire city.

Countless earth and rocks splashed, countless debris rose, countless mud flew, and a hot, crazy, and terrifying shock wave raged throughout the city.

The rising mushroom cloud caused the ground dozens of miles away to tremble violently.

A huge amount of resentment and soul power lingered in the sky, which were the unwilling wails of the dead!
“I understand. It’s my fault.” Huo Yuhao looked at the scene that Tong Rui had materialized, and he suddenly became as lifeless as a walking corpse.

After seeing and experiencing this scene with his own eyes, Huo Yuhao finally understood what kind of disaster the exploding light in the sky had brought.

Even the people around them felt weak in their legs and feet. They couldn't imagine who could survive in the center of that terrifying explosion.

Huo Yuhao mechanically activated the humanoid soul guide, revealing his pale-faced self inside.

Wang Dong'er hurried forward and helped him out.

But then the distraction in Huo Yuhao's eyes gradually disappeared, and his vision became clear again.

Huo Yuhao lowered his head and clenched his fists. “Senior Tong Rui, I almost caused this disaster. I will not shirk my responsibility. You can punish me in any way you want, but can we wait until we leave Xishan first? My spiritual detection should still be useful to everyone.”

“This can’t all be blamed on Yuhao.” Wang Dong’er hugged Huo Yuhao tightly and said emotionally, “We didn’t know it would be like this. Yuhao discovered the underground warehouse through spiritual detection and tracking.”

"We took away the high-level soul-guided shells, leaving only a large number of low-level ones. These things can cause explosions. At the time, Yu Hao carefully calculated that after the detonation, it might cause a small earthquake, but at most it would only make the ground shake a little more violently."

"The sound of the explosion would also be a signal for him to get out of the Western Suburbs game. So, we did that. We don't know why the explosion power suddenly became so terrible. It was completely beyond our judgment."

"Yuhao just wanted to slow down the pace of the Sun-Moon Empire's invasion. What's more, the result is still good. If these explosives and the soul guides and fixed soul guide shells that we destroyed were used in the war of aggression, how many casualties would it cause? I'm afraid it would be ten or a hundred times more than it is now!"

"So, I don't think Yuhao did anything wrong. If you want to punish him, punish me too. I support everything he does."

Wang Dong'er's voice was extremely firm, and she held Huo Yuhao's right hand tightly. As the saying goes, a friend in need is a friend indeed. At the most critical moment, Dong'er stood by him and was not frightened by the terrifying explosion. She did not blame him at all, only supported him.

Huo Yuhao's confusion, shock, pain, self-blame and other negative emotions obviously faded a lot with her persistent support.

His psychological quality is much better than that of ordinary people. At this time, he has the support of his loved ones, and his eyes are suddenly filled with perseverance.

Xiao Xiao nodded and said, “If you must ask who is the executioner of this matter, it should not be Huo Yuhao. He was only a spiritual body at the time and could not do anything at all. He only helped us calculate the placement of those timed high-explosive soul guides. Only we can actually operate, and the final decision is in our hands.”

Huo Yuhao smiled bitterly and said, “You don’t have to take the blame for me. I was wrong. Now think about it, when we blew up this warehouse, I’m afraid that another warehouse nearby might have exploded as well. That was most likely a high-level soul guide stored in Mingde Hall. I should have calculated that.”

"After all, the explosion we set off was too close to Mingde Hall. Destroying Mingde Hall was part of my plan. It was because I was too eager for quick success that this disaster occurred. There must have been a large number of civilian casualties this time. During the time period of the Continental Youth High-level Spirit Master Elite Competition, the population density in Mingdu was too high."

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but pursed his lips. Even if he didn't like the Sun Moon Empire, the civilians were innocent. If the catastrophe had not been prevented by Tong Rui, the consequences would be unimaginable.

“I don’t care how much the war will cost the armies of your empires. If it affects civilians, I will take action. Since you insist on taking the blame, then use your life to exchange for Huo Yuhao and the hundreds of thousands of people who should have been sacrificed.”

Suddenly hearing Wang Donger's words, Tong Rui said nonchalantly, to be honest, he was really curious now whether Tang San would come to the lower world for his daughter.

After all, it is a special moment when the God of Destruction is seizing power. If he comes to the lower world at this time, then when he returns, the administrators of the God's world will all become destroyed.

"Senior Tong Rui, I will take responsibility for my own actions. When I lead them back to Shrek, I will voluntarily exchange my life for the people of the Sun-Moon Empire who should have been sacrificed."

Beibei stood up at this moment and said, "If we really want to find someone responsible for this matter, then I, the one who made the decision, am the one who made the biggest mistake. But no matter what the cause and process of this matter is, if we really want to find someone responsible, let me do it."

"No, Senior Brother, you still have to go find Sister Xiaoya and shoulder the heavy responsibility of revitalizing the Tang Sect. You can't make up for the mistakes I made."

While the two were arguing, Elder Xuan, who had been standing aside, stood in front of them and said, "You are all the future of Shrek. No matter what, you must live and lead Shrek to create glory."

Then Xuan Zi turned to Tong Rui and said, "They are all Shrek's children. If we talk about guilt, the mistakes I have made in my life are the most serious. Many children have passed away in front of me. This time it was also caused by my poor discipline. Please let me take the blame for them."

Looking at this group of people in front of him who had such a deep bond between master and disciple, Tong Rui also gave up the idea of ​​using Wang Dong'er as bait.

After all, if I remember correctly, that place should be in the front, and I can perform more operations then.

"Forget it. Considering that the final result has not yet reached the point of irreversibility, I will let you go this time."

“However, the death penalty can be avoided, but the living punishment cannot be escaped. After returning to Shrek, the Tang Sect will be responsible for compensating the people of the Sun-Moon Empire. I will keep an eye on you.” After saying that, Tong Rui disappeared on the spot.

Tong Rui made the final judgment on this incident.

Although Tong Rui is not a good person, he still does not want to see ordinary civilians displaced.

The emperor of the Sun-Moon Empire is gone, Crown Prince Xu Tianran is about to ascend the throne, and war is about to begin.

If the Tang Sect mobilizes a large amount of funds now to compensate the civilians of the Sun-Moon Empire, then in the upcoming war, it will inevitably delay the accumulation of funds for the war.

Tong Rui was also very curious. Without the intervention of God, would the Sun-Moon Empire really unite the continent? And whose destiny did Huo Yuhao's identity as the Son of Destiny represent?

And now, looking at Huo Yuhao and his group trapped in the Xishan Mountains, Tong Rui's eyes were full of stars as he observed the mystery.

"Qian Kun Wen Qing Valley, very interesting."
