Chapter 127: Stupidity and Ignorance (Two-in-One Subscription Request)
Shuilan Star.
In the Great Hall of the Star of Enlightenment Church in Bangzi Country.
Because this is the place chosen by the Lord of Ghosts and Gods.
The church leader, Li Yongxiu, declined the offers of several wealthy landlords who provided new venues at low prices.
He only used the manpower and resources they provided to renovate the Great Hall without affecting the religious activities.
He even bought the land on both sides of the Great Hall and began to build waiting areas, rest areas, and even a cafeteria to ensure the efficiency of the believers' worship.
In the plan in the mind of church leader Li Yongxiu, he intended to establish a paradise on earth for the Star of Enlightenment Church, with the Great Hall as the core!
Just like how he sincerely worshipped those charlatans who created a country within a country back then.
To establish a community where all residents are believers.
However, he still didn't know what kind of temperament the Lord of Ghosts and Gods behind him had, whether he would also involve himself in mundane matters like marrying ninety-nine wives.
"Thanks be to the Angel King!"
Church leader Li Yongxiu closed the scripture and finished his final prayer.
The fully occupied Great Hall resounded with voices of gratitude to the church leader and praises to the Saint Lord.
Then, under the guidance of the priests, they orderly left the Great Hall.
They watched the last priest respectfully bow and close the door.
Church leader Li Yongxiu let out a sigh of relief and quickly walked to the backstage room.
He saw Pastor Jin Mingjun, who could no longer leave, in the room.
This pastor, who had been implanted with the blood of a false dragon, had gained a bit of Transcendent power but was also paying a terrible price.
Previously, he only indulged in excessive eating and drinking, and his body showed some abnormal features.
After this period of time passed, his Transcendent ability stopped increasing after reaching a bottleneck.
Instead, his body began to abnormally expand, becoming a three-meter-tall spherical Fatty.
Moreover, this Fatty was covered in scales and constantly oozed disgusting green liquid.
At the same time, his daily food and water consumption also increased.
Maintaining his logistics alone was quite unbearable for his brother, Jin Mingxiu.
It was impossible to add more manpower. Church leader Li Yongxiu was well aware that the secret would be leaked as soon as there were too many people.
But even so, with so many resources being transported in, coupled with the growing size of the church, it also caused dissatisfaction among many colleagues.
Recently, Church leader Li Yongxiu also heard a hint from one of his senators who suddenly contacted him from the capital district.
The people of the Red Snake Church are lobbying above, believing that Church leader Li Yongxiu is going too far, deliberately exaggerating the terror and consolidating people's hearts through the last rat swarm incident, and continuing on will only bring disaster.
They want to first cut off the legitimacy of the Star of Enlightenment Church, and then take action to incorporate them.
The Red Snake Church spans both Bangzi Country and the Sakura Country.
It is a large sect that worships the Red Snake totem, believing that it is the incarnation of the savior in modern society.
They initially started as a small sect that was expelled from Bangzi Country, but after entering Sakura Country, their founding ancestor suddenly became enlightened and combined various elements such as Christianity, Shintoism, and secret teachings, creating a systematic way to deceive people's hearts.
And relying on this method, it grew wildly without anyone noticing, taking advantage of the underdeveloped internet.
By the time everyone understood the scientific principles behind it, the Red Snake Sect had become the second largest underground sect in the Land of Cherry Blossoms, with tens of thousands of loyal followers.
Even when it was eventually exposed and the victims collectively sued, the Red Snake Sect continued to thrive, even turning the plaintiffs into defendants and publicly executing them.
They even invested heavily in producing a theatrical anime film to promote their greatness and righteousness.
Afterwards, they launched a counterattack in the country of the sticks, snatching a piece of the cake from the mouths of many sects.
Sometimes, the sect leader Li Yongxiu couldn't help but lament that he was born in the wrong era. If he had been born a few decades earlier, during the heyday of the hippies, brainwashing his followers systematically would have been much easier, with less regulation.
There were also many special drugs that could only be produced in laboratories, which could be obtained simply by paying money.
And loyal followers were, in a sense, the foundation of existence for these sect leaders who lacked true Transcendent support.
They didn't need a large number of followers; just a few dozen would allow them to survive, and a few hundred could already influence the local environment, making the higher-ups naturally lean towards their side without spending money...
"Who is it!"
Just as the sect leader Li Yongxiu was feeling a thousand emotions, he saw the priest who had turned into a monster.
Suddenly, he heard the priest Jin Mingjun, who was already a monster, angrily roaring in his direction.
Immediately, a gust of wind blew open the curtain behind sect leader Li Yongxiu, causing a thin man to roll onto the floor.
The appearance of an outsider shocked both the sect leader and the other person.
They quickly rushed forward and restrained the small outsider.
"Monster!"
The thin man, however, was not panicked. He just trembled his lips when he saw the priest Jin Mingjun, who had an abnormal body shape and emitted an ominous aura, and couldn't help but say:
"The Master is indeed right. You are the fallen ones sent by the Devil to deceive people's hearts!"
"Hehehe, you've been exposed. The Master will personally eliminate you from this world!"
Listening to the nonsense of the small outsider, sect leader Li Yongxiu realized that something was not right.
Then he saw the red snake tattoo on the back of the man's neck.
"You, are you a lackey of the Red Snake Sect?"
"Master, his phone is here..."
Jin Mingxiu was quite angry and scolded the man fiercely, confiscating his phone.
The small outsider chuckled and said, "It's useless. I'm live-streaming in real-time. My companions have already seen you and that monster. The Master will soon expose your true face. You Devils will all have to go back to the Underworld..."
"Roar!"
The transformed priest Jin Mingjun seemed to be provoked and rushed out, causing his cloak to slip off.
Revealing his terrifying scales.
This also made the small outsider, who was still muttering to himself, suddenly widen his eyes in shock.
Smack!
The leader, Li Yongxiu, quickly knocked out the small figure and stopped the deformed priest.
"Calm down, calm down. Let's not kill him for now. At this point, we can only wait for the master's decision."
"This guy might still be useful to the master!"
With that, Li Yongxiu, the leader, left with the small figure, full of worries. First, he called his trusted men and scolded them for their negligence, allowing this person to enter the holy land.
Then he ordered everyone to imprison him in the basement and strictly forbid anyone from contacting him.
Afterwards, Li Yongxiu, the leader, began to anxiously wait for the communication from the Lord of Ghosts and Gods.
Calculating the time, it should be time for the summoning.
At this moment, he hoped more than ever that the Lord of Ghosts and Gods would summon him soon.
After all, the Red Snake Sect was not like those petty black gloves.
Nor was it like those major sects in the capital district, where people wore shoes and learned to be gentlemen.
In order to constantly consolidate the loyalty of their followers, this sect was capable of doing anything.
Under the instigation of other sects, it was possible that the Star of Enlightenment Sect would be recognized as an evil sect by the authorities.
And then the so-called Demon Suppression Squad would be dispatched to eliminate the demons...
While ordinary elite members might be able to escape, the leader himself was doomed!
In his anxiety, several hours passed like this.
During this period, Li Yongxiu, the leader, received several phone calls, most of which hinted that he was finished and could leave early.
A few asked if he had sponsored any laboratories, experimented on followers, and hoped to obtain data.
The reward was the assistance to help him leave the country.
"Spit, these vampires!"
"These guys are all trying to squeeze the last drop of marrow from me. Do they really think I would believe them?"
"They're probably setting fire to the ship as soon as I get on board!"
Li Yongxiu, the leader, shook his head and suddenly received a text message from his trusted man.
He was slightly startled when he opened it and found that there was already a program about the Star of Enlightenment Church on TV.
For the time being, it seemed to be just an objective introduction, without any malicious intent.
But Li Yongxiu, the leader, knew very well that this was a trick to suppress before promoting. It was possible that the second half of the program would feature the small figure and reveal the truth at the risk of his life.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, Li Yongxiu, the leader, felt a calling. Suddenly, his heart calmed down.
The Lord of Ghosts and Gods... finally summoned them!
Grotto-Heaven in a pot.
Burial ground.
After appearing in this dense forest, Li Yongxiu, the leader, and the other two immediately instinctively knelt on the ground, trembling, and dared not move under the pressure of the Lord of Ghosts and Gods.
Su Ping exuded the pressure of Foundation Establishment and looked at the three of them, quickly shifting his gaze to the priest Jin Mingjun.
This fake dragon blood test subject.
It seemed that his condition was getting worse and worse.
It was unclear whether it was due to his physique or the mutation caused by the lack of spiritual environment that made the fake dragon blood go out of control.
At least I am the owner's tool, and I have provided a lot of merit for myself.
Well, I'll give you a chance.
Su Ping popped out a drop of purified spiritual fluid, which entered the mouth of Pastor Jin Mingjun.
Wow!
The next second, Pastor Jin Mingjun spat out green water in large mouthfuls, and a foul green gas emerged from his body.
After a few dozen seconds.
The pastor returned to his human form, and his Divine Sense also recovered. He quickly kowtowed to Su Ping in gratitude.
Seeing the situation of the people around him, the leader Li Yongxiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that they are still useful in the eyes of this ghostly god.
Then, in the following time, the leader cautiously informed Su Ping about the unexpected incident they had just encountered.
"The Red Snake Sect?"
Su Ping became interested in this sect, and then learned more detailed information from Leader Li Yongxiu.
The leader of this sect created a one-month learning method called "learning", mainly to keep the students in a state of hunger for a month under the pretext of fasting.
In fact, it was discovered that the human brain is more susceptible to brainwashing under long-term hunger.
In this state, coupled with the fact that the leader should also be a person with the talent to bewitch others.
That's how such a large church was created.
"I understand."
Su Ping nodded slightly, took out a Qi and Blood Pill and gave it to Pastor Jin Mingjun to take, and silently transmitted a set of Martial Dao Cultivation Techniques to him to refine the Medicine Pill.
This allowed the Star of Enlightenment Church to have a guardian knight who could freely use the power of the False Dragon Blood and the power of Martial Dao.
Then he waved his hand and let Leader Li Yongxiu and the other two retreat, leaving behind these words:
"I will let my servant handle this matter."
"You can continue to do well in exorcism for me."
"Remember to do your job well and don't disappoint me..."
Leader Li Yongxiu returned to the main hall, his eyes shining again.
At the same time, he heard footsteps and turned around to see Pastor Jin Mingjun, who had returned to normal, and his brother walking towards him.
The leader quickly placed his hands on his chest and silently thanked the mercy of the ghostly god.
Woo woo woo!
At this time, Leader Li Yongxiu's phone rang again.
He answered it again, and found that it was the old man who was the honorary bishop before he had the support of the ghostly god.
This old man was a local landlord and a powerful figure.
He had provided a lot of support when Leader Li Yongxiu was just starting to grow.
If he had to choose someone to believe in, Leader Li Yongxiu felt that he would choose him.
This person also felt that the Star of Enlightenment Church was in trouble this time, and he was unable to help much. At most, he would accompany Leader Li Yongxiu and his confidants to the seaside and then leave the country.
Of course, the condition was that Leader Li Yongxiu must tell him whether the Star of Enlightenment Church really had Transcendents and how many secrets they had mastered.
In the eyes of this naturally suspicious person.
Compared to believing in the manifestation of the Angel King, he believed more in psychic abilities or variables produced by some kind of laboratory drug experiment.
Especially as a local figure with real power, he had already seen the humanoid monster in the exposed video beforehand, and he guessed that many abnormal phenomena during the gatherings were related to that monster.
The leader, Li Yongxiu, who had received the assurance of the divine lord, politely declined the offer with a raised chin and a smile of gratitude.
"The video is fake. How could we, who are favored by the Angel King, have monsters?"
"In fact, all of this is the work of the enemies of the angels. Those devils or demons are causing trouble behind the scenes."
"Believers of my lord, please wait a moment. I believe that soon the true devils will reveal themselves and face retribution!"
"Hmm?"
The important person on the other end of the phone hesitated. He shouldn't have believed that the Star of Enlightenment Church had any more tricks up their sleeves.
However... thinking about the sudden rise of this church, he couldn't help but recall the unusual reports he had seen recently about Nierbo.
Although he hadn't tasted it yet, he wondered if it was another hype or scam.
Rumors about some tea bags from Nierbo with astonishing and unscientific effects had caused quite a stir in certain circles.
He couldn't help but become curious about the local transcendental anomalies.
He expressed his anticipation and after hanging up the phone, he instructed his subordinates to wait and see.
This would result in him receiving a much smaller share of the cake in the future.
However, this important person was no longer concerned about the cake. He was more excited about the surprises the Star of Enlightenment Church might bring!
...
The deputy leader of the Red Snake Sect was a native of the Sakura Country.
As an orphan, he was discovered by the current leader at a young age for his talents.
He then practiced together with other disciples and the leader, and among a group of brothers with split personalities and Qi Deviation, he successfully reached the end.
Becoming the number one person under the leader of the Red Snake Sect!
After that, he followed him all over, relying on manipulating people's hearts and being ruthless, to reach his current position.
This time, he volunteered to lead the team to deal with the Star of Enlightenment Church.
In fact, he had the same idea as the leader.
They realized that the Star of Enlightenment Church might actually have something real!
For people like them who considered themselves true cultivators, this was very tempting.
The White Bone Temple of Buddhism, the Breathing Exercises visualization of Taoism, the secret techniques of the Christian Cross, Shintoism, esoteric teachings...
Over the years, while they cheated money to expand their sect, they also researched various secret methods together.
Since they came into contact with mysterious knowledge, this deputy leader believed that they were different from others.
The problem now was not that they were still in mortal bodies, but that the world was wrong!
They just lacked a true method that could truly transcend the mundane!
The videos spread by the Star of Enlightenment Church gave them hope and made them feel that these charlatans were simply wasting precious resources!
True things should be guarded and used by true cultivators like them!
"Very well, the program is about to be exposed. Once we receive the notification, we will be the first to rush in and control those high-ranking members."
The deputy leader sat on the sofa, watching the TV as the segment showing the appearance of the monster was about to be played, even accompanied by a powerful voice-over narration.
Then, the TV screen showed the main hall of the Star of Enlightenment Church.
The camera was about to zoom in!
Click!
The TV program suddenly interrupted!
The deputy leader trembled slightly and quickly changed the channel to find that other channels were normal, realizing that there was a problem on the TV station's side!
"Does the Bright Star Sect have this ability?"
"Who did they find, someone who has connections and doesn't give us face!"
While still in doubt, the deputy leader suddenly felt drowsy and realized in a moment of panic that he and his subordinates had all fainted on the ground.
Su Ping brought this group of clearly identifiable elite members of the Red Snake Sect, making them easy to find. He set up a simple formation, causing mist to rise around them.
He also placed Spirit Stones around the formation to provide Spirit Power support.
Then, he took out a book on unorthodox methods and began a small experiment.
After more than ten minutes.
Reporters who had received advance notice crowded around the entrance of the Bright Star Church's grand hall, waiting for big news.
Suddenly, they saw a large number of flashing security vehicles rushing over.
But instead of stopping at the grand hall, they went directly to a nearby villa.
The villa was engulfed in flames, and faint roars like wild beasts could be heard.
The reporters, realizing that the real news was over there, quickly utilized their professional skills and followed.
They immediately saw the terrified villa manager and waiters outside, shouting that people were dead and there were monsters, and so on.
The on-site commander was in a hurry; he knew who was staying at the villa tonight.
After a brief understanding, he led the fully armed security personnel into the villa.
But shortly after entering, the scene inside shocked the commanding officer.
Inside, there was actually a group of creatures that were neither human nor ghost, attacking the guests in the hall and rooms.
These guests were all elite followers of the Red Snake Sect.
However, for some reason, these followers seemed to be under a slow spell, moving very slowly except for screaming.
They were easily caught by the mud monsters still wearing Red Snake Sect clothes.
After coming into contact with these followers, the mud monsters slowly corroded them, turning them into mud monsters who only knew how to scream.
At the same time, there were some followers who were close to the entrance and hadn't been caught. They were about to approach the crowd at the door... but suddenly, in despair, they screamed a few times and their bodies turned into a pile of mud...
After seeing the whole process clearly, the on-site commander, who felt that he might be involved in some kind of mysterious curse duel, gently retracted the half of his foot that had stepped inside, back outside the threshold.
They also didn't open fire rashly.
After all, they saw clearly that those monsters inside might be elite followers of the Red Snake Sect!
Could it be the punishment for their failed battle?
In an instant, various scenes from novels and movies flashed through the minds of the on-site commander and the security team members, firming his decision not to get involved.
He chose to seal off the scene and wait for further developments.
Fortunately, for now, it seemed that he had made the right bet.
The abnormality in the villa did not spread, and there was no major news of a battle between humans and monsters.
When all the forces arrived,
The manor had already returned to calm, except for the addition of a puddle of mud, there was nothing unusual.
If it weren't for the surveillance in the hall restoring the scene, one would never know that everything was caused by a mysterious force.
The reporters outside were waiting in vain.
On the other hand, the Red Snake Sect, upon learning of this matter, also expressed gratitude for his wise decision and sent out reinforcements.
However, these people did not know that the big one was still to come.
The deputy sect master of the Red Snake Sect did not die in this experiment.
He recovered from the mud molding by relying on his self-consciousness.
According to the records in the book, this indicated that the deputy sect master had at least inferior Spiritual Roots and some connection to this obscure art.
This is also the method often used by those evil cultivators to select successors.
They make everyone go through it, and those who survive are the ones with Spiritual Roots who can learn the inheritance.
Simple and effective, but a bit laborious.
Su Ping took away this deputy sect master.
He directly rode on Da Hei and crossed the sea to the coast of the Sakura Country under the cover of night.
He found another place to set up the formation, and then used the Memory Wand to summon the illusion of the fox-faced witch Sakura's memories.
Only then did he cast a spell to awaken this special deputy sect master of the Red Snake Sect.
This Red Snake Sect member woke up, swaying his body, only to find himself in a misty place with only faint light around him.
Just as he was wondering if this was a dream,
He suddenly saw a fox-faced witch wearing a mask walking towards him.
This witch seemed very weak.
But upon closer inspection, it seemed that there was a huge Nine-tailed Fox sneering at him from behind her.
This made him shudder with fear.
At the same time, he also recalled the painful memories from not long ago.
He realized that this operation had completely failed!
Their Red Snake Sect suffered a miserable defeat in the face of a truly mysterious power, without any room for counterattack!
As a result, he had never felt such a strong desire for mysterious power.
The fox-faced witch seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.
Looking at the Red Snake Sect, she suddenly raised her blood-red eyes.
The witch let out a disdainful laugh.
After a while, she said,
"I really admire the courage and ignorance of you mortals."
"To actually go to the territory of a ghost god and provoke his servants."
"And now you have fallen into his curse... there is no escape!"
Hearing the voice of the fox-faced witch, the deputy sect master, who was stunned by the amount of information, quickly reacted. It was because he was excited to see a true Transcendent that he kowtowed and begged the witch for help.
And he kept swearing that as long as he could cultivate, he would do anything at all costs!
The fox-faced priestess didn't say much, but just giggled and took out a wooden box, placing it in front of the other person:
"You are a clever person. Being able to escape the first wave of curses and survive shows that you have a Talent different from ordinary people... That's why I am willing to help you."
"Consider it an early investment. Perhaps in the future, you can also become a weapon to fight against Him?"
"But you need to hurry, don't die before the second wave of curses arrives..."
After the fox-faced priestess finished speaking, she slowly disappeared along with the mist in front of the deputy sect leader.
The deputy sect leader almost thought it was just a big dream before death.
Fortunately, he saw the wooden box on the ground.
After opening it, he saw a necklace and a precious bead that looked extraordinary to the naked eye.
There was also a scroll.
Trembling, he opened it and was surprised to see that it described how to guide the thoughts of others to erase their spiritual artifacts and use them for oneself, written in tiny characters.
The latter part also recorded several secret techniques on how to cultivate and become Transcendent after obtaining spiritual artifacts...
The deputy sect leader couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Then, after realizing that he had actually returned to his hometown, the deputy sect leader urgently contacted the sect.
The next day at noon.
He saw his own mentor and sect leader in a temple.
He told him that although he lost an elite team on this trip, he obtained the true Transcendent inheritance through this dangerous experience!
The deputy sect leader had no ulterior motives.
It was because he was worried that there was no time to start over with the appearance of the second wave of curses.
He could only rely on the original power of the Red Snake Sect to complete the ritual!
Fortunately, the Red Snake Sect had an absolute number of loyal followers among all the sects.
With the personal order of the sect leader.
Before long, a temple located on the outskirts of the Sakura Capital controlled by them gathered a large number of loyal followers.
At the same time, Su Ping, who was there to harvest the Foundation Establishment female cultivators' spiritual artifacts, also followed them.
He provided meticulous support and arranged formations while also providing Spirit Stones for Spiritual Qi.
With a crash!
The sect leader of the Red Snake Sect waved his bell and began the ritual.
This sect leader should be around seventy or eighty years old, but his complexion was ruddy, and despite his large build, he still moved with agility.
His voice was magnetic, always able to attract the attention of others as soon as he spoke.
No wonder he eventually emerged as the winner among so many sects!
In the Great Hall, backyard, and left and right halls of the temple, the loyal followers sat in the Lotus Position.
Altogether, there were more than two thousand people.
There were other elite followers guarding the entrance to prevent anyone from disturbing them.
As the ritual began, a mysterious feeling filled the hearts of everyone in the formation.
Fortunately, they knew in advance what they had to do, and they were willing to dedicate themselves for the great cause of the sect.
As a result, waves of thoughts were collected and collided with the two spiritual artifacts!
