Due to the "giant" resisting the impact, Yu Zhongxian only suffered minor injuries, but his anger did not diminish.
The Council suffered its biggest loss in nearly three years, with over twenty core members of the faction killed in the explosion, over thirty injured, and over ten elite guards dead.
After such a major incident occurred in the main hall of the Winter Palace, the Council's secret guards immediately mobilized and quickly uncovered the truth.
Ace spy An Desi was arrested in Changshan County and immediately turned, using disguises, illusions, and pre-recorded videos to negotiate with Chang Hai, demanding a hefty ransom to redeem the captured ace spy.
Chang Hai believed it to be true and, in order to avoid punishment, concealed the news, attempting to rectify his mistake through negotiation.
But he did not expect that the real An Desi had already returned to the imperial capital. He murdered the guards and sent their families to Changshan County, then seized the opportunity to approach and assassinate Chang Hai, who was about to report the information.
He then disguised himself as Chang Hai and issued many seemingly reasonable but actually foolish orders to the troops under Chang Hai's control. They all exposed themselves and fell at the feet of the Changshan County agents.
Afterwards, he brought the raw materials for explosives into the main hall in batches and, during the meeting, used premeditated means to load them into detonators, creating high-explosive bombs on the spot, which caused such heavy casualties.
His real target was Yu Zhongxian himself, but he failed.
And the mastermind behind all of this was Changshan County.
The Council had never suffered such humiliation before. Furious, Yu Zhongxian ordered the destruction of Changshan County to be elevated to the highest priority, ranking just below the events in the imperial capital, Zhongzhou, and Luozhou.
And all of An Desi's family members were listed as important assassination targets, especially his son An Hairan, who inherited his father's abilities and was once considered the successor to the ace spy.
Now, he had become a potential huge threat.

Changshan County.
Lin Wen had been busy with the advertising and promotion of the empire's hottest game.
He supervised the entire process of promotion, using the coverage intensity of Greedy Play in a certain month and the promotional methods of 2077, causing a frenzy of Blue Moon Legend in the empire.
The people of the empire were still in the primitive era of the internet, having never experienced the baptism of top-notch promotional methods from twenty years later. They were still internet novices, even their chats were conducted in online chat rooms, and their usernames were names like "Bai Yangxiaoxiao," "Northern Wolf," "Snow Peak," and "Chasing Wind Youth," which were extremely outdated.
At this time, releasing such advanced methods was like dropping an atomic bomb in primitive society.
The overwhelming sound and light drowned out all the noise, leaving only one voice.
If you're a brother, come and fight me!
With the same game concept from twenty years later, it condensed all the essence that had been tested by time, discarding all the immature rubbish. Compared to the primitive online games of this era, it was far superior.
If it were placed in the original world, it would undoubtedly be an outdated, vulgar, cliché, and unoriginal money-grabbing trash game.
But here, it was advanced, trendy, unconventional, and full of stunning new ideas. It was even more fun than the original version it copied.
The endless bombardment of advertisements and the game's cutting-edge concepts and quality caused a super explosion of Blue Moon Legend players.
Qi Mu and his friends finally understood why Sheriff Lin asked them, "Why is the profit so low?"
It turned out that this was what real growth looked like.
To read the uncut version, go to [p𝘢wread.com].
And this was what real income looked like.
Its massive player base even expanded the boundaries of the empire's internet users.
Tenglibaba Company had already expanded to 16,000 employees, and its workload was still overwhelming. Changshan County's telephone lines had been increased to fifty, and they were still busy every day.
Under the guidance of Lin Wen in the Network Technology Department, a new Network Game Department was established to develop future versions of the game and even higher-end games.
Under Lin Wen's guidance, the Network Game Department worked day and night and quickly completed the first version update.
This update added the Kebasha siege system, a simple automatic pathfinding system, a friendship system, and a new map, Pig King's Palace.
With this update, Blue Moon Legend and the original Blood Moon Legend were no longer the same game, and the online debates about plagiarism gradually disappeared.
The new version received unanimous praise from players, and the game became even more popular.
Changshan County's daily total income had exceeded one billion, with a significant portion contributed by the peaceful and stable eastern region of the empire.
They had contributed their precious love to the war-torn southern region of the empire and had also contributed valuable merits to Lin Wen.
Changshan County had received over 2.1 million refugees, and the number was still growing at a faster pace.
Even though Changshan County's daily expenses had exceeded 70 million, occasionally reaching 80 million, they were still holding up.
With a balance of 2 billion on the books and a net income of over 100 million per day, Changshan County had the greatest confidence.
Of the 2.1 million refugees, over 1.5 million had joined the Refugee Management Committee. They were self-reliant, assisting in resettling refugees, handling internal affairs, and even helping the farmers in Shangxi Town develop new farmland. They had become a unique sight in the refugee camp.
Lin Wen had not yet gained any merits from this, but he understood that this, like the reconstruction of their homeland, was a collective event that would only be settled after the event was over.However, although the settlement of good karma was delayed, the thread of karma skyrocketed, bringing Lin Wen an increase of 11.71% in the upper limit of his primordial spirit power from the resettlement and aid of 2.1 million refugees, and it was still increasing.
After this period of accumulation, Lin Wen currently has 29,512 good karma. The bad karma increased by 646 due to the last navy incident, but it has now reduced to 461.
But this number is still very high.
He could only hope that the fifth divine power he would acquire later could find a way to reduce the bad karma faster.
The good news is that his primordial spirit power limit has reached 138.92%.
This is a very important growth.
The power of the primordial spirit is very important for Lin Wen's development, it is a core part of his super-limit growth plan.
Because, the growth of the upper limit of the primordial spirit power allows him to cast more spells normally.
Due to the existence of the natural Dao, if his primordial spirit limit reaches 150%, he can use spells that consume 300% of his power.
This level of spell is the dividing line between the early and middle stages of the Golden Elixir.
At this level, there are some spells that are very important to Lin Wen.
For example, he has been studying for a long time:
[Ganlin Technique]
A deep gray Golden Elixir period spell, consuming 300% of the primordial spirit, causing a rain of sweet dew to fall in an area, making the land fertile and full of vitality, lasting for 3 hours, the effect of geological improvement is related to the original geology.
This spell is the real core of Lin Wen's industrial plan for Changshan County - a part of the socialist factory.
Among the three major industries, the primary industry is the real foundation of Changshan County.
The flying sword workshop and the steel factory are both secondary industries.
The ambitious network empire plan is the tertiary industry.
These high-tech, high-added-value products are just Lin Wen's means of making money.
But Lin Wen doesn't want to be the world's richest man, monopolize trusts, or be a super capitalist. Money is just to support the development of Changshan County, just to give more people a chance to contribute good karma to him.
However, an ideal society is not a utopia that purely relies on external output to survive, it must be a mature society that can operate on its own.
The primary industry is the foundation of such a society.
Changshan County used to be a purely primary industry area, but although Changshan County has a large territory, the land is very barren.
The fertile land behind the East Dao Dam is the only good land in Changshan County, but unfortunately, it has been eroded by floods, and the large amount of yellow sand carried in the river has destroyed this land, making it no longer suitable for cultivation.
Next is the 1.5 million acres of land near Shangxi Town, where the soil is average, barely suitable for cultivation, and not fertile.
Apart from these, all are wasteland, Gobi, mountains, and barren land.
Chen Xingtai has tried many times to reclaim new land, but the results have been minimal, so the [Ganlin Technique] is a great tool for the agricultural revolution in Changshan County.
Unfortunately, this spell is very expensive, and the range is not too large. Some very barren lands may need to be used multiple times, and using good karma to cast spells is obviously not worth the loss.
Therefore, the primordial spirit must meet the standard to use it normally.
In addition to this, there are some equally useful spells, such as: [Clone Technique], [Spirit Puppet], [Cloud Dispersing Decision], etc., which also require a higher primordial spirit.
Therefore, accepting refugees is the most important of all current work, and it is the core node related to all his subsequent series of development plans.
Each new refugee is a new thread of karma, more primordial spirit, more good karma, and one of the countless aids on his path to ascension.
That's why, when Lin Wen heard Wang Bo'an's request, he was so excited.
It's like seeing someone guarding a mountain of gold and distributing gold everywhere on the street, how could Lin Wen not rush up and take it all?
Hahaha.
I didn't expect such a good thing, neighbor Wang is really a good person.
Lin Wen was overjoyed, and his happy days continued until today.
On this day, while Lin Wen was dealing with the trivial matters of the online game department and arranging the next stage of the development plan, Phoenix Nest hurriedly came to find him.
"Lin Wen, our transport vehicles have been attacked! A group of bandits attacked the team transporting refugees, and we lost many people."
"What did you say?"
Lin Wen jumped up all at once.
Someone dares to interrupt my path to ascension.
Are you tired of living?
