The bombardment lasted less than ten seconds,
when the Leopard Douluo, overwhelmed with fear, shouted loudly, "Stop, stop now, cease fire immediately."
As a speed-oriented agility-type martial soul, this wide-ranging, omnidirectional cluster bombing was particularly unfriendly to him.
Nan Gong Lingyun didn't make things too difficult either; seeing this, he gently waved his hand,
and Ma Er Gou immediately ordered the cessation of the bombardment and shooting.At this moment, the execution ground was completely unrecognizable, with over twenty meters of soil at its deepest point shattered into powder, which was then flung high into the air, causing a prolonged downpour of earth that had yet to cease.
Leopard Douluo collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath, his forehead beaded with cold sweat.
If he hadn't reacted quickly and hid behind Yu Yuanzhen, he would have truly come close to death.
The first wave of artillery fire had several shells hit him directly, the terrifying explosions and impacts instantly dispersing the soul power that defended his body.The expressions of the others were also grim. Although they had managed to defend themselves, the rate at which their soul power was being consumed far exceeded their expectations. If the bombardment were to continue, the outcome would be hard to predict.
Most soul masters excel in offense but are weak in defense. Once their soul power is depleted, they would be at the mercy of others.
The spectators in the stands felt their hearts sink even deeper. They had already realized that this type of firearm—especially the final Thunder God's Wrath—might not be as terrifying to lone wolves, but for large organizations with established bases, it was undoubtedly a deadly weapon, striking directly at their most vulnerable point.A single shot from a large-caliber heavy artillery can shatter even city walls, and without the true form of a martial soul, it's impossible to resist.
The Martial Soul City, Tiandou City, Xingluo City, Haotian Sect, Seven Treasure Glazed Sect, Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect,
which one has the capability to withstand such a level of continuous bombardment?
Yes, a titled Douluo can indeed escape without a problem,
but in the end, all you'll have left is the title.
The most crucial point is that ordinary people can operate it, which means it can be equipped in large quantities,
an army of eighty thousand is far from the limit.It's obvious to anyone with half a brain that once Nangong Lingyun fully takes control of the Barak Kingdom, the number of troops will immediately explode.
The most terrified is Tang Chen,
He suddenly realizes one thing: when Nangong Lingyun previously said he intended to completely annihilate the Haotian Sect to eradicate the roots, it was not a threat, nor was it mere talk.
If the Asura God had not intervened at that time, today's martial arts demonstration might very well have been a spectacle of the massacre of his own clan, rather than just the execution of a few criminals.
Because if it were merely a martial arts demonstration, would it require the mobilization of a full eighty thousand troops? Eight hundred would have been more than sufficient.The annihilation of the Haotian Sect is the only event worthy of such a grand scale.
...
The eighth and ninth items of the grand ceremony were the public parade and the fireworks display, which took the longest time but were of little substance. Only the ordinary citizens who came to watch the excitement were thrilled, while the soul masters on the stage were all preoccupied with their own concerns.
As soon as the official ceremony concluded, Nan Gong Lingyun immediately invited a group of people to the Balak Palace, now renamed the Marquis of Xinyi's Residence.
In a spacious hall, a circle of round tables and chairs had already been prepared, and on both side walls, conspicuous banners were hung.On the left, it reads 'The First Pan-Continent/Title Alliance Conference,' and on the right, 'One Heart, One Dream, One Journey/Create Together, Share Together, Win Together,' each consisting of twelve characters.
Including Bibi Dong, everyone took their seats with indifferent expressions, not uttering a single extra word.
They had roughly guessed that the demonstration was over, and the real blade was about to fall.
At the same time, they silently resolved in their hearts to firmly resist and disagree, no matter what the other side intended to do.Nangong Lingyun scanned the surroundings and spoke straightforwardly: "Confucianism disrupts the law with literature, and chivalry violates prohibitions with martial arts; these have been two major maladies since ancient times.
For countless years, soul masters, due to lack of control, have committed innumerable evils, often killing ordinary people at will,
sometimes without even a reason, simply on a whim.
The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom I have established aims to completely eradicate these accumulated abuses, change this situation, and restore a clear and bright world to humanity."Therefore, it is imperative to strengthen the control over soul masters.
All those who commit felonies will be relentlessly pursued and executed, while other offenses will be punished according to their severity with measures such as corporal punishment, imprisonment, forced labor, and fines.
However, for those virtuous soul masters who are willing to abide by the law and even make significant contributions, the state does not intend to indiscriminately suppress them.
After careful consideration, I have decided to establish a loose organization similar to a guild.Members are only required to be soul masters and not fugitives wanted by the law, with no other conditions imposed. Whether they are independent soul masters, disciples of sects or families, members of certain other organizations, or even individuals who have served their sentences, all are welcome.
This organization will not be directly managed by the imperial court, nor will it impose mandatory tasks. The court will only participate in some supervisory roles.
The management of this organization is entrusted to a council alliance composed of titled Douluos, who are present here.All significant organizational matters, such as key position appointments, must be voted on and approved by the alliance meeting before they can be implemented.
Among these, ordinary titled individuals have one vote, super Douluos have two votes, and ultimate Douluos have the most, with three votes each.
"I have finished speaking. What are your thoughts?"
As Nan Gong Lingyun's calm voice fell, the hall was so quiet you could hear a pin drop, with not even a single person chiming in.
This proposal, to put it mildly, is no longer just a matter of hidden intentions—it's forcing these titled Douluos to take a stand and choose sides.Although it seems simple to say,
A loose organization, with no mandatory tasks, governed by the alliance itself.
But once you join, you immediately have a boss above you, how can you be as free and unrestrained as the head of a family or sect now?
At the same time, the control over the disciples of the family and sect will undoubtedly be greatly weakened.
Tang Chen couldn't help but shake his head and laugh inwardly,
He originally thought that this Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, with such a grand display, beating him up and demonstrating martial prowess,
Would surely have profound insights when facing the titled lords, but unexpectedly, they spoke such naive words.Everyone is quite content being the local emperor, ruling their own little domain with absolute authority. Why would they want to run to you and be your lackey, at your beck and call?
Are they out of their minds, or did a heavy iron gate crush their heads?
Even if we are eventually forced to join, wouldn't we just pretend to comply while doing the opposite? After all, you yourself said it's a loose organization with no mandatory tasks.
Bibi Dong's thoughts are quite similar,
But what she resents more is that the grand plan the Spirit Hall has been preparing for over a decade to unify everything is now completely ruined because of Nan Gong Yunling.The four limits remained silent, while the others sat still in their chairs, eyes downcast, not daring to make a move.
Nan Gong Yunling was in no hurry,
leaning back in his chair, he picked up his teacup and took small, gentle sips.
It wasn't until much later, when Ning Fengzhi noticed the strange atmosphere in the room, that he couldn't help but be the first to speak up:
"What are the benefits of joining this organization?"
