Douluo: I Have an Unnamed Law

Chapter 296 The Real Calamity

"Damn it, the Spirit Hall is going too far!!"

Upon learning of Xu Shi's death, Dai Hao did not show anger, but merely feigned grief for a while. However, after hearing what Bibi Dong had said, Dai Hao exploded like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, slamming his fist on the table and rising up.

The aura of the Title Douluo spread out, and he cursed the Spirit Hall, basically using every word he knew, but he didn't dare to utter a single word about mobilizing troops.

Because he knew that the Spirit Hall truly had the strength. While the Star Luo army was large, the Spirit Hall had many experts who could bypass the main force and only target the leaders.

Out of this fear, Dai Hao dared not gamble on whether the Spirit Hall would dare to kill him.

He is indeed a titled Douluo, but the lesson he learned last time is still fresh in his mind; it was truly tragic.

The ministers below, listening to their emperor's complaints, breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the emperor was only angry for a moment and did not make any irrational decisions.

On the other side, Gu Han returned to Wuhun City, bringing with him a large quantity of frozen fish, which was specially packed using soul tools. This time, he brought a lot of soul tools. Although the fish he brought back might not be much when distributed among everyone, it would still be enough to provide everyone with sufficient protein.

Furthermore, he will continue to send a group of flying Soul Masters with Soul Guidance Devices for continuous transport.

Upon returning to Wuhun City, Gu Han naturally met Bibi Dong in her true form first.

The other party was well taken care of by Ah Yin, and her daily routine consisted of instructing Qian Renxue in swordsmanship.

She was no weak woman. Although she was pregnant and the weather was extremely harsh, she was still a powerful figure at the Title Douluo level, so this was nothing to her.

The reason why the embodiment of evil was allowed to replace the pope was probably because sitting in the papacy was too boring.

Evil incarnate: So I won't be bored anymore, huh?
Regardless of whether the embodiment of evil is boring or not, Bibi Dong, although she was always in the Pope's palace, was fully aware of what was happening outside.

“Junior brother, more and more refugees are starting to flock to Wuhun City. We’re following your plan. During the day, we let them carry out expansionary construction outside the city and live in the vacant villages. At night, they rest in temporary tents. Our charcoal fire and cotton quilts are enough to keep them warm.”

"In this way, the refugees flocking to Wuhun City will have a place to live."

As for the people from the surrounding villages, they were fortunate enough to become residents of the inner city of Wuhun City. Although they did not receive the same treatment as Soul Masters, they could still receive money every month, which meant they lived at the top of the average person's life.

After all, they were among the first non-Soul Masters to move into Wuhun City.

Although they are allowed to enter Wuhun City under normal circumstances, they cannot afford to buy a house here in this place where land is extremely valuable.

Now things are great. Not only did I move in without spending any money, but I also get paid every month. When luck comes, you can't stop it.

"Ah That's good."

Gu Han nodded. Things were developing in a positive direction, and he felt a little relieved.

"Oh right, here you go. I thought Yuehua was giving this to me, but when I looked, it was written for you."

Bibi Dong took out a letter from her soul tool. The letter was unsigned and addressed to someone, so Bibi Dong opened it and read it. She found that the first sentence was a greeting to herself, and the rest was addressed to Gu Han.

"A letter from Yuehua?"

"Ah."

Bibi Dong nodded.

Gu Han took the letter, opened it, and glanced at it. The handwriting was very beautiful.

Ignoring the opening remarks, Gu Han immediately started reading the content.

"I've heard about what happened in Tiger Might City. There's a lot of talk about you among the noble circles in Heaven Dou City. A lot of people say you're cruel, while a few say you did a good job killing them. But none of that matters to me. You must have had your reasons for killing those Soul Masters. I believe it was a choice you had to make."

In short, don't worry about what others say. Do what you believe is right, and I will always support you.

Although it wasn't overly sentimental, it was very simple and straightforward. I first comforted him and then directly stated my position.

"Oh, speaking of which, after sending the letter, Yuehua also had someone send her a lot of money. It was all tuition money she collected herself at Yuexuan. Although it wasn't much compared to Qibao's, it was still a token of her appreciation."

Since the Clear Sky Sect did not go into seclusion, Tang Yuehua did not have to support the entire sect by herself. Therefore, she kept all the money she earned for herself. Now that she heard that the Spirit Hall was short of money, she took it all out, leaving only the basic operating funds for Yuexuan.

Bibi Dong has a black gold card in her hand. This card has no upper limit, but the lower limit is at least ten million gold soul coins.

It seems those nobles are really generous, and Tang Yuehua is really good at ripping them off.

It hasn't been that long, and you've already saved up so much money.

Gu Han took the black gold card and smiled, "Then I'll thank Yuehua on behalf of the people outside Wuhun City."

After saying that, he also wrote a letter back to Tang Yuehua, thanking her for her understanding and also expressing gratitude on behalf of the people outside Wuhun City for her assistance.

With this money, we can buy more supplies.

As for whether those people will sell, they definitely will. After all, those soul masters don't care about the empire or not; they'll make money as long as they can. They just don't dare to raise the price for the Spirit Hall.

With the Spirit Hall in existence, the prices of essential goods like food have not increased significantly.

As for those who dare to disobey, the Spirit Hall's strength is enough to make them hand over everything for free. If they don't want to lose everything, the Spirit Master families will naturally not disregard the Spirit Hall's intimidating presence.

The incident with the tiger also served as a warning to these people. Although they verbally criticized Gu Han's cruelty and radicalism, they only dared to criticize him. No one dared to cross the line anymore, because the price of being the first to stick one's neck out is very high.

Time flies. This winter was the hardest for the common people of Douluo Continent, and many did not survive it.

However, this is just the beginning.

As time went by, 90% of the grain planted last year did not survive, and the remaining 10% were mostly grains that were not plump, and they still had to be used as taxes.

When famine struck, even with the Spirit Hall's presence, grain prices could no longer be suppressed, and even having money didn't guarantee you could buy it.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the people have no food. Some will starve to death, while others will risk everything to steal it. The Soul Masters are no match for them, so they can only fight each other for food, and the whole continent is in chaos.

But even more people starved to death, and with so many deaths, and due to mishandling, a plague followed.

The two empires remained very perfunctory in their disaster relief efforts, or rather, they knew that the relief food they distributed would simply end up in the hands of soul master families across the land.

Rather than that, it's better not to distribute anything. Even if the Spirit Hall requests some distribution, it will be 90% sand, and the remaining 10% won't reach the refugees.

Although the Spirit Hall is powerful, it is not an empire after all. It has done its best and can't make bricks without straw. It can only ensure the stability of the area around Spirit City.

One thing after another happened on the mainland, especially in the Heavenly Dou region, where riots were frequent. Refugees began to use their numbers to fight against Soul Masters in various places. The army suppressed wave after wave, and order was visibly collapsing.

As for the letter from Ning Fengzhi before the New Year about the annihilation of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex clan, Gu Han could only sigh that fate was cruel. Even though the Spirit Hall didn't take action, the Blue Lightning clan was still wiped out, and even more thoroughly.

Gu Han had visited the ruins of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and indeed, there were remnants of the aura of evil soul masters.
