Douluo: The Return of the Holy Emperor, the beginning of the liquidation of Bibi Dong

Chapter 27: Killing the chicken to scare the monkey, killing Gelong
Ge Long looked at Gu Moran who was sitting on the throne. He always had doubts in his heart about this new emperor who suddenly appeared and ascended the throne.

Although the soul guide used by the Tiandou royal family to test bloodlines has proved that Gu Moran is indeed the biological son of Emperor Xue Ye, according to some information he has obtained, Emperor Xue Ye did not die at the hands of Poison Douluo, but was poisoned by people from the Spirit Hall.

Coincidentally, the new emperor was also the Judgement Elder of the Spirit Hall. It was hard not to suspect that he was the one who poisoned Emperor Xue Ye and then forged the imperial edict to usurp the throne.

Golong was not the only one who had doubts in the court. Most of the court officials had received the news but did not dare to bring it up. Anyway, the new emperor also had the blood of the Tiandou royal family, and all the princes were dead. If he didn't sit on the throne, who would? And who would dare to sit on the throne?

Ge Long bowed to Gu Moran, and when he looked up, his face was solemn, his eyes were sharp as a sword. He was loyal to his emperor and patriotic, and he could not let the Tiandou Empire fall into the hands of the Spirit Hall. He immediately asked in a deep voice:
"Your Majesty, there is something I don't understand. Did the late emperor really die at the hands of Poison Douluo? But according to the information I have received, the late emperor was killed by the Spirit Hall, not as written in the will. Please give me an explanation, Your Majesty."

Hearing this, Gu Moran looked at Ge Long with interest. How dare a mere Soul Douluo question him? Who gave him the courage? Was it Fish Leong?
Gu Moran: "Explain? General Gelong means that I forged the will and plotted to usurp the throne?"

"Ge Long doesn't dare, but he has doubts about the people who plotted to murder the late emperor."

Ge Long did not feel at all panicked when facing Gu Moran's questioning.

In his opinion, as the commander-in-chief of the Tiandou Empire's army, the empire's military power is in his hands.

Even His Majesty the Emperor did not dare to touch him easily, so he dared to question Gu Moran.

"Oh, since Marshal Ge Long wants to know so much, then I won't hide it. Yes, the edict was indeed forged by me, and the late emperor did die at the hands of the Spirit Hall. So, what does Marshal Ge Long want? Drive me off the throne, support another royal family member to take the throne, and then send troops to the Spirit Hall?"

Now that he has ascended the throne, Gu Moran did not hide anything and openly admitted everything he had done.

Seeing that the new emperor had made everything clear, all the ministers fell silent and looked stunned, even Ning Fengzhi who was hiding among them was no exception.

They didn't expect Gu Moran to be so arrogant.

Ge Long was also very surprised and didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Seeing their surprised expressions, Gu Moran's golden eyes flashed with a hint of sarcasm, and he slowly stood up from the throne.

With the Sun Martial Spirit possessing him, a bright sun slowly rose from behind him. The scorching hot sun fire burned fiercely, the temperature rose sharply, and the air became extremely hot.

In an instant, the hall seemed to have turned into a magma hell. The heat waves were so scorching that Ge Long, Ning Fengzhi and others were sweating profusely and feeling unbearable heat.

Nine soul rings floated up from under Gu Moran's feet, and the majestic and vast soul power pressure swept through the hall, forcibly suppressing all the ministers in an instant.

Even Golong, the Soul Douluo, was nothing but an ant under the might of the Extreme Douluo. He knelt on all fours in the hall, his armor trembling slightly, his body shaking, and he struggled to support his body.

Gu Moran looked down at the ministers with an indifferent and superior voice, and said:

"I am now the new emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire. My words are the law of heaven. I said that Tang San and Poison Douluo killed the previous emperor, so they did it."

"Of course, I am not an unreasonable person. If you have any objections, as long as they can stop me from making a move, I will accept them."

These words are extremely overbearing and arbitrary.

However, as an emperor, he should be domineering, and there is no need for disobedient subjects to exist.

Gu suddenly raised his hand, and the first soul ring lit up. The scorching hot solar soul power surged and condensed into a blazing sun, emitting terrifying high temperature. The space was distorted by the burning and filled with a slight smell of burning.

"First Soul Skill: Sun Annihilation."

He gently pushed the flaming sun in his palm, slowly and floatingly flew towards Golong.

Feeling the terrible temperature of the scorching sun, Ge Long's face changed drastically. He struggled desperately to get rid of Gu Moran's pressure, but even summoning his martial spirit was useless. He could only watch the scorching sun fall on him!
The hard armor melted like butter in the face of the scorching sun, penetrating deep into Goron's chest, burning his internal organs, and reducing him to ashes from the inside out!
"Ahhhh!!!"

Under the gaze of his ministers, Golong's whole body was burning with the fire of the sun. His rough face became hideous and distorted, and he let out a painful wail that echoed throughout the hall. Some timid ministers turned their heads away, not daring to watch this cruel scene.

Ning Fengzhi frowned, he never expected that Gu Moran would kill Ge Long. You have to know that this is the Grand Marshal in charge of the military power of Tiandou. If he is killed, who will lead the troops to fight?

In less than five breaths, Golong was burned to ashes. A breeze blew in from outside the palace, lifting up the ashes and floating them past the eyes of every minister, arousing the fear in their hearts.

After getting rid of Ge Long, Gu suddenly dispersed his pressure and returned to the throne. The ministers felt relieved, but none of them dared to stand up.

Looking down at the civil and military officials and seeing their frightened expressions, Gu Moran was quite satisfied.

Only by making his ministers feel fear will they respect him.

Gu Moran's fingers tapped rhythmically on the handle of the throne, but to the ears of the ministers, it was like a death knell, knocking in their hearts.

After a while, a minister stood up and walked to the middle, bowing respectfully to Gu Moran with a trembling body, but because of his inner fear, he knelt down again.

"Your Majesty, Marshal Ge Long's words were disrespectful and disrupted your Majesty's arrangements. He deserves death. I think the military power should be taken back and his entire clan should be executed!"

A treacherous minister. Gu Moran glanced at the minister and recognized his nature at a glance.

But to him, it doesn't matter whether they are treacherous ministers or loyal ministers, as long as they can be used conveniently and are beneficial to the empire and the dynasty, it doesn't matter.

"I second the proposal!"

"I second the proposal!"

"I second the proposal!"

……

With this flatterer's opening statement, other civil and military officials followed suit, fearing that if they spoke a little slower, they would be sent to accompany Ge Long by the tyrant on the throne.

Gu Moran glanced at all the ministers and found that only a very few did not meet the requirements. He immediately ordered the treacherous minister.

"In that case, I will give you this task. Within today, you must take back the military power and all of Gelong's property. The men will be beheaded and the women will be sent to the military camp. No one shall be left out."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhao Yingchen prostrated himself on the ground and kowtowed quickly.

The effect of killing the chicken to scare the monkey has been achieved. Gu Moran said calmly: "Dismiss the court."

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!
As the eunuch swung the whip three more times, the first court meeting after Gu Moran ascended the throne officially ended.

Soon, everything that happened in the court meeting reached the ears of the nobles in Tiandou City, causing an uproar.

Zhao Yingchen brought the imperial edict and led the city guards to raid the Gelong family, killing all nine generations of the family. The men were killed on the spot and the women were sent to the military camp, strictly executing Gu Moran's orders.

For a time, Tiandou City was filled with heads rolling and blood flowing like a river.
