The ultimate transmission fear beast stands on the Douluo Continent.

Chapter 401: Ending, the sun shines brightly after the storm
"The black sun hanging high in the sky is the embodiment of the fate of destruction. Even in the darkest corner far away, one can feel its incomparable heat."

"When it falls from the sky to the earth, all sins and all evils will be reduced to ashes under this heat."

"When the explosion dissipated, Qi Tao's lower body had turned to ash. The evil fire continued to burn his body, but he still tried his best to crawl out with his bloody hands, and kept saying things like "I don't want to die"."

"He crawled about four or five meters and then stopped moving."

"Not moving?"

Qingcha's hand suddenly stopped, Qian Renxue raised her head: "A soul king using the fifth soul skill?"

Looking through the personnel list and report in his hand, Gu You replied: "Yes, the cause of death was found to be incomplete protective measures."

"The evil fire itself has a strong corrosive ability. With Ma Hongjun completely embracing the evil attribute and transforming into a fallen being, the corrosive ability has been further enhanced."

"From the moment Qi Tao decided to resist Ma Hongjun's attack, defeat was only a matter of time."

After thinking for a while, Gu You added: "Of course, the most direct cause of death is still the simple treasure."

"I see."

Qian Renxue understood and filled the cup of tea and pushed it to Gu You.

Such habitual movements made She Long's blood pressure soar.

Young Master, do you still remember that you are the heir of the Spirit Hall?

Unfortunately, no one in the room had the ability to read minds, and no one cared much about She Long's thoughts. It felt like Gu You's story was like a storytelling. Qian Renxue asked curiously, "Were you there at the scene?"

"No." Gu You shook his head, spread his five fingers, then put his thumb and index finger together and said, "Retell it based on what Sister Nightingale said, and add a little bit of artistic embellishment to it."

"?"

After turning around and seeing no one, Qian Renxue was puzzled: "She didn't come back?"

"Well, I asked her to command the local Spirit Hall to assist in the reconstruction of Seaside City as a special commissioner of the Spirit Hall."

.........

"A sneeze—"

The Spirit Hall staff member who was explaining the reconstruction progress to the document next to him looked up and said, "Ms. Nightingale?"

"It's okay, maybe I just caught a cold."

He touched his nose and hid his cold face under the black robe. With a golden badge on his chest, Nightingale felt a chill on his back and inexplicably felt as if he was framed by Gu You again.

She had no evidence, but she had experience.

Glancing at the sky, the spirit master of the Seaside City Spirit Hall agreed: "The storm has just passed, and the temperature is still relatively low. It is indeed possible to catch a cold."

"Please take care of yourself, Lord Nightingale."

"No, I was just talking nonsense. It's all Gu You's fault."

Faced with subordinates who care about her, Nightingale, whose vacation had been ruined by Gu You, couldn't tell the truth.

Out of the corner of his eye, he happened to see a Spirit Hall deacon who was drinking water and taking a break, and he said to him, "You, find a few smart people to go to the City Lord's Mansion and help them take down all the valuables."

The Spirit Hall deacon looked back and saw that it was Lord Nightingale who gave the order. He immediately stood up and replied, "Yes!"

"Okay, go on."

After experiencing the fun of catching strong men in ancient travel, Nightingale asked the staff to continue, thinking: "Huh~, cool."

"oh oh."

'Did anyone provoke her?'

The staff member was confused and had to bite the bullet and continue, "The last one is the Seaside City Auction House. The losses have not been fully counted yet. It is estimated that the losses are as high as 2 million gold soul coins, and are still rising."

"We have safely escorted all the auction house staff who have no connection with the Qi family back home. As for those who have close ties with the Qi family, they are currently detained in the Spirit Hall. We will release them after we confirm that they have no connection with the Fallen."

When it comes to the Fallen, the staff's expressions become ten times more serious.

This is related to the work of the Spirit Hall. It is the greatest shame in history that they have been allowed to run wild under our noses for more than a decade. After finally catching the person, the Spirit Hall of Seaside City plans to go all out and vow to use all means to bring all those who are related to the Fallen to justice.

"very good."

Seeing that they were full of motivation, Nightingale couldn't pour cold water on them, so she could only remind them: "Remember to cross-check the list of personnel provided by Qi Xiaofeng and Krohn. Each person must pass three rounds before they can be released."

"Yes!"

"Where is the Qi family's secret room?"

The staff member replied: "We found a total of 2,138,100 gold soul coins, as well as a large number of calligraphy, paintings, gemstones and other accessories. Since the value of calligraphy, paintings and gemstones is difficult to calculate, we sent someone to the Tiandou City auction house to invite the most experienced appraiser to determine the value."

Nightingale agreed with this approach and said, "Okay, let me know when the appraiser arrives. I want to accompany him personally for the appraisal."

The staff member bowed and said, "Okay, Master Nightingale."

"."

"."

Nightingale tilted her head slightly: "Why don't you do it?"

Faced with Nightingale's questioning, the staff rarely showed hesitation.

He looked around first, and waited to make sure that no one was paying attention to this side before he spoke cautiously: "Lord Nightingale, should we investigate and track down the other group of fallen people that appeared that night?"

The Fallen One destroyed the Phoenix Man, and the food-type soul master who claimed to be the Fallen One's brother betrayed the chef. After killing Qi Tao, the son of the city lord who was confirmed to be the Fallen One, the whereabouts of the two of them became unknown.

According to the Spirit Hall management regulations, the Seaside City Spirit Hall should respond immediately.

At that time, they received instructions from Nightingale and captured Crone. They immediately sent the frightened and malnourished female victim back to Seaside City. Only then did they learn that a new group of degenerates had appeared in Seaside City.

But the most urgent task is to investigate the collusion between the Qi family and the Fallen Kron. In addition, Lord Nightingale asked them to assist in the reconstruction of Seaside City, so they really cannot spare any extra manpower to track down the two.

After a few days, the reconstruction of Seaside City was finally on track, and they also had time to track down the remaining Phoenix Destroyers and the Traitorous Chefs.

"The Fallen? Who said they were the Fallen?"

"That's mainly because of them. No, it's because the evil aura of the Phoenix Destroyer is too strong."

Without waiting for the staff member to finish speaking, Nightingale raised her hand under the black robe to signal him not to continue.

Noticing several eyes on him, the staff member quickly covered his mouth.

"Did they kill anyone else besides Qi Tao?"

"No."

"Did they try to harm anyone other than Qi Tao?"

".No."

"Did you find any characteristics on them that match the wanted warrant?"

".No."

"If there is none, why should we track them down?"

"And look." Nightingale raised her hand and pointed, and the staff looked in the direction of her finger. They saw a huge stone pillar standing next to the sparkling beach, which had been there for some time.

Four craftsmen holding hammers and chisels were carving and chiseling the stone pillar at different locations. The staff of the Spirit Hall squinted their eyes, as if they could vaguely see a pair of wings formed by flames.

"Over there is the stone statue that destroyed the Phoenix Man and betrayed the Cook."

"Seaside City thanks them for saving the city from the truly corrupted. We spontaneously request this memorial to remember their righteous act."

The nightingale said earnestly: "Look, the city has made its choice."

"Remember, whether or not one is a fallen person has nothing to do with the evil aura on one's body. Even if a martial spirit has evil power, as long as the spirit master himself has a kind heart and strives to do the right thing, he is not a fallen person."

"Yes! I'm grateful for your advice, Master Nightingale!"

"Assign her to be in charge?" Qian Renxue frowned slightly, "What about other nobles in the city besides the Qi family?"

"Who is the current city lord?"

Generally speaking, the Spirit Hall has no right or obligation to get involved in the internal affairs of the two empires. As long as it has nothing to do with spirit masters or fallen beings, it can do whatever it wants.

It is true that the Qi family has absolute power in Seaside City, but it is impossible for them to take care of every aspect of Seaside City.

If there are places that cannot be taken care of, it will be the turn of other nobles to step in.

In addition, even if the Qi family really can do it, the Tiandou royal family will use their fists to tell them that they really can't.

According to tradition, when the uncrowned king Qi family falls, Haibin City should be handed over to the second noble family in the city to take over until the Tiandou royal family arranges a new city lord.

Now that Gu You has directly asked the Spirit Hall to intervene, it may cause greater dissatisfaction among the nobles.

The reason why the adjective is "bigger" is because the nobles are already very dissatisfied.

As of today, the title of the royal family's investigation results announced for this incident is: "The Qi family has long exploited local people, causing strong dissatisfaction among the people."

In response, Xue Qinghe, the interim supreme leader and official spokesman of the royal family, said: "The cause of the incident is entirely because the Qi family exploited the people. You should stop exploiting the people."

But Xue Qinghe's casual words were completely unable to dispel the nobles' concerns.

It is the instinct of the nobles to exploit the people. Even if the head of the family, who should theoretically rule the family, does not want to do so, other people in the family will directly or indirectly cause the exploitation to occur.

Even if they didn't send anyone to investigate, Qian Renxue knew that they would try their best to find out everything that happened in Seaside City that night.

I was afraid that one day I would wake up and find myself hanging on the glowing pole at the city gate.

If the nobles who were already in doubt about their lives knew that the Spirit Hall was interfering in the city's internal affairs,
Qian Renxue rubbed her eyebrows weakly, indicating that she didn't really want to deal with tomorrow's official business.

"The acting mayor of Seaside City is named Fang Qi, a very good former sailor and restaurant chef. As for the other nobles, I basically got rid of them all."

Gu You's tone was as relaxed as flicking off an ant on the table, but it almost gave Qian Renxue a heart attack.

"You used my token to find a commoner to be the acting city lord? And you killed all the other nobles?"

"more or less."

Gu You put down the list report he had been reading and said seriously, "Fang Qi is a civilian and a former black flag captain in Seaside City. The Fiery Islands route map and the Sailor's Home that the Qi family used to control the sailors were originally his work."

"The people of Seaside City are mainly sailors, and the uprising this time is also led by sailors. Instead of recruiting local nobles or parachuting in a new city lord, it is better to directly let the sailors' leader take the position."

"Also, I want to explain that I killed the new nobles in Seaside City mainly because I had evidence that they were basically involved in the illegal activities presided over by the Qi family."

"Those illegal activities have nothing to do with the Fallen, but according to the imperial law, the best punishment is immediate execution."

"Instead of staying there and making a mess, it's better to clean it up right away."

"If the nobles start to cause trouble, just let it go. No matter what troubles we have now, all problems will be solved when the new issue of Tiandou Weekly is published in three days."

".Okay, what about Ma Hongjun?"

Since he had been killed, Qian Renxue could only admit it. She then turned to ask about Ma Hongjun's condition: "Does he show any signs of corruption?"

"Don't worry, everything is fine. Besides, he agreed to join our plan, so I let him go home."

Just as Gu You expected, Ma Hongjun, who had strengthened his belief, was not confused by the evil attributes.

Even after getting rid of Qi Tao, he rushed to the City Lord's Mansion while chewing on a sausage, wanting to help Fang Qi, who had just killed Qi Langhai, to kill Qi Xiaofeng.

It is because of this that he was recognized by the coastal city.

Gu You said with a smile: "Seaside City has gained freedom, Spirit Hall has dealt with the Fallen, and we have gained help. It is a win-win situation for all three parties."

"No, if the nobles are frustrated, then it's a win-win for all."

Regardless of whether he wins or not, Qian Renxue is relieved that Ma Hongjun has Gu You as a guarantor. She looked at the list report that Gu You put aside and asked, "Do you have a favorite candidate?"

Picking up the list again, Gu You showed a malicious smile on his face.

"there's a few."

".On the day the statue was completed, all of us were very happy and we even invited the best calligrapher in the city to write their code names on the base."

"Uh-huh."

".how?"

Breaking free from the whirlpool of memories, the man opened his eyes and scratched his head embarrassedly.

"Because I'm an ordinary person, and this is all I know."

The rustling sound that lasted for nearly half an hour finally stopped. The man gently closed the notebook full of handwriting and said admiringly, "Please don't say that."

"In order to avenge the big brother who took care of you, you approached Qi Tao through various means and finally obtained important information. You are also the hero behind the rescue of Haibin City."

The man laughed: "Me? Forget it, the hero behind the scenes is not an ordinary hotel waiter like me."

"It was Yuan Yifan who was willing to risk his job to help me, a broke person, get into the fighting spirit arena."

"It's the old City Lord Fang Fang who always inspires me with delicious food."

“It was Li Tian who encouraged me to keep going.”

"It was Bai Lang and Hua Hongrui who helped me develop tracking skills that are difficult for a Soul King to detect if he is not paying attention."

"Those guys who are willing to fight and sacrifice their lives are the heroes behind saving Seaside City."

"Is it."

I put down my notebook, stood up, and pulled open the curtains. Instantly, the bright sunlight outside the window rushed into the room impatiently.

The sudden light illuminated the man's face, and he raised his hand to cover his eyes. Without the beard that made him look old, his features could vaguely be seen when he introduced the Sailors Club to Gu You.

Outside the window, there are spacious roads, bustling crowds, bright smiles on pedestrians' faces, the flying phoenix man wearing a helmet and the statue of a chef holding sausages behind him in the distance, all of which testify to the tremendous changes in the coastal city.

"Mr. Lin Fan, please watch all this."

"Your story will soon be known to the world. Perhaps you are an ordinary person from the last era and cannot enter the new era with us."

"But I want to tell you, my friend. You are also a true hero."
