This god is really evil

Chapter 142: Night Emperor, Night Court

Hearing Yu Pianran's words, Li Yan narrowed his eyes and asked:

"The Gods Alliance?"

It sounds very cool, where did it come from?

Yu Pianran took a deep breath, and seemed to be very uncomfortable with the chest binding, and said quickly:
"Those five demons claim to be righteous gods and control Da Qi. Da Qi has the Si Tian Jian, Xuan Zheng Yuan, and various armies to suppress evil spirits. We, the true god believers, are weak and unable to resist, so we have to band together for warmth. At the beginning, the Ten Thousand Gods Alliance was an organization where gods and gods formed an alliance to help each other."

"It's just that hundreds of churches and sects across the world have joined the Ten Thousand Gods Alliance. Over time, the resources and power controlled by the Ten Thousand Gods Alliance have become extremely terrifying. It can even compete with the imperial court in secret. It is called the 'Night Court', and the leader of the Ten Thousand Gods Alliance is also called the 'Night Emperor'."

Li Yan grinned and said:

"Ye Chaotang and Ye Tianzi are truly majestic! Under the control of these five major temples, the Ten Thousand Gods Alliance still has such power. It is really astonishing."

Yu Pianran sighed and said:

"You don't know, Holy Son, that these five demon gods control Da Qi, while the Ten Thousand Gods Alliance is spread across all the countries in the world, so its power is so huge."

Li Yan then asked:

"If that's the case, why didn't our Yuhua Association join the alliance before? If we had joined, we wouldn't be in such a mess."

Yu Pianran's face showed embarrassment, and he said:
"The Holy Church was too weak before, and the Saint Girl split up, so there was chaos inside. It was not qualified to join the Ten Thousand Gods Alliance. On the contrary, the Blood Spirit Church has always been a member of the Ten Thousand Gods Alliance... Speaking of which, the Ten Thousand Gods Alliance contacted me this time, partly because the Holy Church has been gaining power recently, but mostly because the Saint Girl caused too much trouble, and it has reached the point where the Ten Thousand Gods Alliance has to pay attention..."

Li Yan nodded slightly.

This is normal.

The Yuhua Sui case in Weizi Town shocked almost the entire Da Qi. Even in the court, it had become an important bargaining chip for the Xiang Party and the Qingliu Party to attack each other.

Unless everyone in the Ten Thousand Gods Alliance is blind, it is impossible for them not to take it seriously.

As for the Blood Spirit Cult, it is normal for it to become a member of the Ten Thousand Gods Alliance. After all, judging from the Blood Spirit Cult's control over Zhuhai County, its own strong execution ability, and its infiltration into the government, the Blood Spirit Cult is definitely the leading local cult.

Yu Pianran continued:

“If we join the Wanshen League, our Yuhua Society will receive support from the Wanshen League’s internal resources. At the same time, the Wanshen League’s affiliated sects will no longer be able to openly take any actions that are detrimental to our Yuhua Society. Even when it comes to preaching, we must rely on our own abilities and not take things by force… In addition, there are positions within the Wanshen League. If you do well, even someone from the Yuhua Society can become an elder within the Wanshen League and manage the affairs of other sects.”

Hearing this, Li Yan's eyes lit up.

The person who created the Pantheon is a talented person.

The top leaders of the Pantheon are obviously people with more flexible beliefs. They have completely broken the moral shackles in their hearts and realized that cults are actually a business.

It doesn’t matter who you believe in, but it is important to guide others to believe in.

According to Yu Pianran, the Pantheon is more like a group company with many sects under it, which are equivalent to many branches. Normally, everyone competes in a healthy manner. If something really happens to someone, the group company can lend a hand, and in many daily activities, they will get greater convenience.

The biggest advantage here is that the sects within the Pantheon cannot attack each other and can only rely on debate to win followers. For these secretive cults, being able to have a stable environment is already a hundred times better.

Of course, the price is to give up part of the management rights of one's own sect, which is a transfer of sovereignty.

Sounds fair.

However, when it comes to actual implementation, these evil cults will naturally not be so obedient, and at this time the Pantheon will need strong executors from the top leadership.

"The Alliance of All Gods is extremely ruthless, and the superiors are extremely powerful. If they disrespect the gods, they will be punished immediately, and there is even the possibility of their sect being destroyed..." Yu Pianran said with lingering fear.

They are all cults, so the Alliance of All Gods has a much deeper understanding of each sect than the imperial court, and even has its own spies within many sects.

If one wants to do something bad, he can even directly leak the news of a certain sect to the imperial court, letting the tiger devour the wolf and reaping the benefits.

The top leaders of the Ten Thousand Gods Alliance, especially the leader, are said to have surpassed the twelfth level of ascension and reached the level of true immortals in the mortal world!

There are all kinds of talented people and masters in the top echelons of the Pantheon, and even the elites from various sects have been absorbed into the alliance, which is why it is so powerful.

Being noticed by the All Gods Alliance brings both blessings and disasters.

"Holy Son, the Ten Thousand Gods Alliance does not know that you are the chief inspector of Qinghe County's Astronomical Observatory. Do you think you should tell them the truth to avoid misunderstanding?" Yu Pianran said quickly.

This time she risked her life to sneak into Qinghe County, firstly to ensure Li Yan's safety, and secondly to discuss this matter with Li Yan.

The Holy Son of Yuhua Society is the Supervisor of Qinghe County's Sitianjian. This matter is too secretive. Once leaked, it will certainly bring fatal disaster to Li Yan. But if he does not tell the other party, the Ten Thousand Gods Alliance will also take action against Li Yan. It is really a dilemma.

Li Yan smiled faintly and said:

"Don't be nervous, High Priest. Who proposed the request to kill Li Yan, the supervisor of the Sitianjian? Since the Ten Thousand Gods Alliance is composed of so many sects, we can discuss it."

One of the characteristics of large organizations is compromise.

Any large organization or system composed of people will have internal systemic losses, which is the common problem of internal friction. Many decisions can be negotiated and compromised in the end, and there is no room for maneuver. Yu Pianran took a deep breath and said:
"This time, the Ten Thousand Gods Alliance sent a seventh-rank Lantern Master from Zhuhai County. It is said that he has a close relationship with the mysterious leader of the Blood Spirit Divine Cult. The Holy Cult was defeated by the Blood Spirit Divine Cult in Zhuhai County, which was also related to the support of this Lantern Master. The request to eliminate Supervisor Li Yan was proposed by this Lantern Master."

Yu Pianran showed a bitter smile:
"These envoys in the Ten Thousand Gods Alliance are all very powerful and have the final say, so I am also hesitating whether to join the Ten Thousand Gods Alliance... But if I don't join the Ten Thousand Gods Alliance, I will definitely be hated by the Ten Thousand Gods Alliance, and it will be hard to say what will happen in the future..."

Li Yan nodded.

It's compulsory to join, right?

Then he said:

"Yes, why not? Since the All Gods Alliance is good for the Holy Church, I should join it. Everything is for the Holy Church. My own safety is not worth worrying about."

Yu Pianran couldn't help feeling ashamed again.

The Son of God would work hard to achieve his immortality, even at the cost of self-sacrifice, and she had actually worshipped Him, it was really...

"Which sect does this lamplighter come from? Where is he now?" Li Yan asked.

Yu Pianran immediately said:
"This lantern keeper is staying at the post station outside the city. He learned that the Holy Son was born as the Chosen One by God, and asked to see the Holy Son. However, this person has an arrogant attitude. He is a strong man in the late stage of the Contemplation Realm, so it is really... difficult to get along with him."

At this moment, she herself did not realize that, whether out of guilt towards Li Yan or intimidation by the inexplicable power emanating from Li Yan, she had already begun to follow Li Yan's lead.

After a pause, Yu Pianran's expression became stern again, and he lowered his voice and said again:
"This Lantern Master, whose surname is Gongsun and whose given name is Mo, is the chief priest of the newly rising Thousand Eyes Divine Sect. It is said that the Thousand Eyes Divine Sect has received many divine oracles from its gods. It has expanded rapidly over the years and has become the largest sect in the entire Anding County."

Li Yan's eyes lit up and he said:

"In that case, I'd like to meet him!"

As they were talking, the carriage had stopped in front of the Sitianjian government office. Yu Pianran immediately reached out and gently wrote a few words on Li Yan's palm, then lowered her hat and stood by his side.

Li Yan got off the carriage without even looking at Yu Pianran, and strode into the Sitianjian government office surrounded by a group of followers.

After Li Yan's back disappeared, Yu Pianran quickly left and disappeared into the crowd.

In the Sitianjian government office, Ao Le and Chong Yun came over with anxious looks on their faces and asked Li Yan what had happened last night.

After sensing the aura of the Blood Spirit Cult's sacrificial array last night, the two of them realized that Li Yan was definitely in great danger. They wanted to rush to the Unstained Temple to rescue him, but found that they were intimidated by the pressure of the array and could not move at all.

This is true for everyone in Qinghe County.

But when the blood mist dissipated, the two found that the young men they were protecting and even many clerks in the entire Sitianjian government office had their blood and energy sucked away by the magic circle and fell into a coma.

After a period of anxious treatment, just as they were about to go to Bu Ran Temple to check on the situation, Li Yan came back on his own.

"Last night, Ding Youde, Xiao Chucai and others had evil intentions and wanted to refine me into human pills for them to take. However, they did not expect that Yuan Jun was the leader of the Blood Spirit Cult. He set up a magic array to guide the Blood Spirit Evil God to the world, but in the end, an evil god with a hundred arms and a huge mouth came. It ate the Blood Spirit Evil God alive and captured everyone in the Zen temple into the underworld..."

"In the end, it was me who was not captured by the evil god because of the few drops of Confucianism and Taoism in my body. Niu Ma, the judge of the Xuanzheng Court, was almost knocked unconscious by the elixir refined by his master Xiao Chucai, but luckily escaped."

Li Yan gave a quick summary, which made Ao Le and Chong Yun stunned.

Last night was so dangerous that it was far beyond their expectations.

It can even be said that the case of the mysterious ghost in Weizi Town was no more serious than this.

Li Yan smiled slightly and said:

"It can't be said that this matter is completely without benefits. At least the seven teenagers killed by Qian De will be completely safe from now on."

The ones who wanted these young men to die were none other than the chief officials of Bushan Temple, Xuanzhengyuan and the entire Qinghe County.

Once all the troublemakers are dealt with, the troubles will naturally disappear.

As he was speaking, he heard hurried footsteps. The head constable Zhao Mengsheng ran in with several constables and said to Li Yan:

"Lord Li, last night the evil cult's magic array was designed to absorb people's blood and qi. Many people in the city are deficient in blood and qi, especially the poor people, who are already weak and can't bear it any more. These hundreds of thousands of people have suffered a great disaster and are in urgent need of medicinal materials for treatment. However, the county's treasury has always been empty, and there is really... no money and no food..."

According to the laws of the Great Qi Dynasty, Li Yan, the only remaining official of the seventh rank, was already the highest official in the entire Qinghe County and automatically took over the government affairs of Qinghe County.

Fortunately, although all the officials died, there was no shortage of clerks. Without officials, many things became much easier to carry out.

But when Zhao Mengsheng wanted to save people, he found that there was no money or food, and the treasury was empty, and he didn't know where all the money had gone.

Li Yan smiled slightly and said:

"This is easy. The county magistrate, county magistrate, chief clerk, county lieutenant and other chief officials have all died in the line of duty. We may have to go to their homes to express our condolences. These officials were all honest and people-loving officials. They died in the line of duty this time, perishing together with the Blood Spirit Cult. It is truly touching. However, the Blood Spirit Cult wanted to frame us, so they must have piled up stolen goods in their homes. We should go and take the stolen goods to preserve the reputations of the officials."
