Chapter 454 Lin You's Speech

Meanwhile, at the secret base of the Rift Sky Soul Master Corps.

"Brothers."

A loud and magnetic voice rang out in the brightly lit council hall.

The once noisy hall fell silent instantly, and everyone's attention was focused on the figure standing on the high platform.

He was a handsome young man with a dignified air.

But at this moment, the expression on his face was completely different from the usual honest and composed "He Caitou".

He slowly raised his hand, and to everyone's astonishment, tore off the thin, gossamer-like disguise from his face.

Under the lights, a face that bore a striking resemblance to the current Crown Prince Xu Tianran, yet exuded even greater heroism and determination, was revealed to the crowd.

"I, Xu He, the former crown prince of the Sun Moon Empire, have returned!"

His eyes gleamed as he scanned the shocked, bewildered, and then fervent faces below, his voice firm and resonant:
"The tyrant Xu Tianran has acted perversely, colluding with evil soul masters to poison the empire, resulting in the destruction of the imperial palace and the tragic death of my father. Such national and personal hatred is irreconcilable."

"Brothers of the Rift Sky Soul Instructor Group, I, Xu He, will remember the injustices you suffered and the humiliations you endured."

"Now, treacherous officials are in power, and the country is in danger. I, Xu He, hereby swear that I will personally kill my enemies, restore order to the court, and restore a bright and clear world to my Sun Moon Empire!"

He raised his arms and shouted: "Now, those who are willing to return with me to the Ming capital, to purge the court of corrupt officials and punish the traitors, please raise your weapons."

"I am willing to die for His Highness the Crown Prince!" Shi Xuan was the first to draw his soul-guided longsword from his waist and roared loudly.

"I am willing to die for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Purge the court of corrupt officials and punish the traitors!"

A thunderous roar of response instantly engulfed the entire council hall. The pent-up anger and resentment, suppressed for so long, erupted completely at this moment.

At almost the same time, in the city lord's mansion in Dongyang City.

Song Yi, clad in heavy armor, stood atop the city wall, gazing at the night sky in the direction of Mingdu, which was stained red by fire and thick smoke, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

Damn, Dongyang City is nearly a thousand kilometers away from Mingdu. How can such a situation be seen from such a distance? What exactly happened in Mingdu?
At this moment, as the remote communication soul tool continuously transmitted messages, the information transmission technology developed by Xuan Ziwen and with Lin You's help in solving technical problems finally came in handy. This was a brand-new technology that even the Sun Moon Empire's official authorities had not mastered, yet it was now being used on this group of rebels.

"Lord City Lord, the Sky-Splitting Soul Master Corps has already taken action! His Highness the Crown Prince... no, His Highness Xu He, has officially revealed his identity and called upon the world to jointly punish the traitors!" A trusted confidant rushed in to report.

Song Yi took a deep breath, a resolute glint in his eyes.

"Pass on my orders." His voice was steady and powerful. "Assemble the city guard's elite troops, as well as all Soul Masters willing to restore order to the empire. Target: Mingdu! Follow me to defend the emperor and uphold justice!"

At this moment, at the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

Jing Hongchen was burning with anger, yet felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

Flames soared into the sky from the direction of the palace, and the faint sound of explosions could be heard. Clearly, a tremendous change had occurred in Mingdu.

However, Mu En of Shrek Academy, the Limit Douluo who stands at the pinnacle of the continent, arrived at this very moment with such overwhelming power, suppressing all the high-end combat forces of their Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

"Protect the students?" Jing Hongchen laughed angrily. "Mu En! What do you mean by that? Why did you have to show up now of all times? You clearly planned this all along and lay in ambush here!"

He looked at the aged yet mountain-like figure in the sky, his heart filled with anxiety.

What exactly happened at the palace? How is Xu Tianran? As a pillar of the empire and the head of the Mingde Hall, he is currently trapped in his own academy, unable to move. This is an utter disgrace!
"Can't wait any longer!"

A resolute glint flashed in Jing Hongchen's eyes. "Teachers of Mingde Hall, break through with me! How can our Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy allow ourselves to be humiliated like this!" He surged his soul power, trying to break free from the invisible pressure.

Just as the atmosphere within the academy was tense and the Mingde Hall members were preparing to break out, a clear voice suddenly rang out, drowning out all the noise.

"Dear teachers and students, please be patient."

The crowd looked in the direction of the sound and saw that Lin You had somehow become standing on a high platform in the square. He looked calm as his gaze swept over the faces below, which were filled with panic, anger, or confusion.

"Everyone must be very curious about what exactly happened in the direction of the palace."

Lin You's voice carried far and wide through his soul power, "I can tell you all, that was no ordinary attack."

He paused, then dropped a bombshell: "It's a long-overdue reckoning! A reckoning for those who murdered the emperor, usurped the throne, colluded with evil spirit masters, and poisoned the empire!"

As soon as this statement came out, the whole place was in an uproar.

"What nonsense are you spouting!" The college's dean of students' faces changed drastically, and he shouted angrily, about to step forward to stop him.

"Director Lin, why are you so agitated?" Fan Yu appeared in front of the dean of students at some point, smiling as she stopped him.

The head of student affairs was both shocked and furious: "Fanyu! What do you want to do?"

Fan Yu simply shook her head, her smile enigmatic, but she remained silent, steadily standing in front of Director Liu.

On the high platform, Lin You's voice rang out again, clear and firm: "You may not know, but your Sun Moon Empire's former emperor did not pass away peacefully. He was secretly murdered by his own younger brother, the current emperor, in collusion with the evil soul masters of the Holy Spirit Cult! He killed his own brother and slaughtered all the royal family members who knew about it in order to ascend the throne as the sole heir!"

This news struck like a bolt from the blue, leaving everyone present dizzy and momentarily forgetting the oppressive aura emanating from Moon.

They simply couldn't understand why Lin You would reveal such shocking royal secrets in front of Mu En at this time.

"What...what exactly does he want to do?" Director Lin looked at Lin You, feeling a chill run down his spine, and cold sweat soaked his back.

Lin You's gaze swept over the shocked faces of the crowd, and he continued, "And the former Crown Prince Xu He, who was regarded as a thorn in the side by the current false emperor and had to flee to another place to avoid trouble, has now finished his studies at Shrek Academy and returned in all his honor! He will set things right and settle the blood feud."

As the commotion subsided, the panic on many faces was replaced by a complex emotion.

They looked at Lin You, trying to discern the truth in his words from his expression.

Just then, a clear but slightly hoarse female voice rang out.

"Everything Lin You said is true."

Everyone turned to look and saw a woman dressed in an elegant long dress, with a slightly haggard face, slowly walking up the platform under the protection of several soul masters, and standing next to Lin You.

It was Orange; she was back.
