Douluo Continent: The Holy Evil Emperor.

Chapter 256 Asura and Holy Spirit Dual Agent

If you had to describe the Holy Spirit Cult's activities in one word, the phrase "blooming everywhere" would be most fitting.

Headquartered in the Demon Forest, and led by nearly ten Title Douluos, the Holy Spirit Cult dispatched more than three hundred evil soul masters with cultivation levels above Soul Master, divided into sixteen teams, spreading in all directions like a plague.

Unlike their previous indiscriminate killing spree, this time the Holy Spirit Cult's actions were not primarily aimed at slaughter; they mostly killed one and released three.

It was to convey the Asura God's philosophy of "proving the Way through killing".

Let's spread the fame of our Asura God Tang San even further, so that everyone knows that our Holy Spirit Cult has Tang San, the Holy Emperor, as its backer!

Then it became abstract.

Those who know about evil spirit masters understand. When describing anything else, this author falls short, but when describing the evil spirit master organization, he almost perfectly captures the evil and greed of human nature.

Whether it was his own personality or some other reason, the Holy Spirit Cult truly lived up to Ye Qing's expectations.

What do you mean by spreading fame?

The only result of this operation was that terrorists carried out attacks everywhere, creating widespread panic across the continent.

Missionary work?

What proselytizing? I don't understand at all. Instead of reasoning with them to make them believe in our Holy Emperor, we choose to use physics to instill fear and awe in them. The final effect is the same anyway, and using physics is even more efficient.

Fear and death are always the most effective ways to force people to submit.

The Holy Emperor's fame has spread! Holy Emperor, Supreme Elder, our mission is complete!

This group is called the "Double Agents of Asura and Holy Spirit".

Before the three... no, four great empires could even react, the Holy Spirit Cult's terrorist attacks were already taking place all over the Douluo Continent.

The death toll was not high; it was just a drop in the ocean compared to the entire Douluo Continent. After all, this terrorist attack was not primarily aimed at killing people, but the sheer number of places affected by it was overwhelming!

Apart from the four imperial capitals of Mingdu, Xingluo City, Tianhun City, and Lingdou City, and Shrek City, all other cities, large and small, suffered the Holy Spirit Cult's suicide truck-style terrorist attack at the same time.

The Holy Spirit Cult didn't even spare its own partner, the Sun Moon Empire. At most, they didn't kill as many people when they launched the attack; they just created panic by destroying buildings.

Most of the people who died in the Sun Moon Empire were simply unlucky; they were either swept away by the aftershocks or crushed to death by collapsing buildings.

None of them were directly killed by the evil spirit masters.

They still understood the principle of not making too many enemies. After all, the Sun Moon Empire was their stronghold, and the Holy Spirit Cult secretly maintained contact with Xu Tianran.

No, while Ye Qing was immersed in studying the core magic array, the Holy Spirit Cult had already completely reached an agreement with Xu Tianran, and Zhongli Wu had become the Grand Preceptor of the Sun Moon Empire, just like in the original story. Zhongli Wu had even informed Xu Tianran in advance about this terrorist attack.

The old emperor of the Sun Moon Empire is nearing his end. According to the original timeline, he was scared to death a year later during the Grand Tournament when Huo Yuhao detonated the Mingdu bomb.

He only has one more year to live, but he's basically unable to handle government affairs and will just lie in bed waiting to die.

Therefore, Xu Tianran has basically taken over all the power of the Sun Moon Empire, and is only one step away from ascending the throne as emperor. He will also be able to cooperate more deeply with the Holy Spirit Cult.

In Xu Tianran's view, this conflict between Shura and the Sea God was actually a great thing. Shrek Academy and the Holy Spirit Cult were fighting each other, representing Tang San's two godhoods, which would remove Shrek Academy, the biggest obstacle to the Sun Moon Empire's unification of the continent. Who knows, they might even be able to take down Shrek Academy.

Even if they can't be eradicated, the Holy Spirit Cult's current terrifying strength can render Shrek Academy powerless in the Sun Moon Empire's war to unify the continent.

Terrorist attacks?

So be it. Some civilians may die, but that's fine. As long as it contributes to the unification of the mainland, these are necessary sacrifices.

Watching the Holy Spirit Cult and Shrek Academy wage a life-or-death war was exactly what Xu Tianran desired. Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao were two Limit Douluo; if he didn't deal with these two powerful figures, Xu Tianran wouldn't be able to eat properly.

As the undisputed tyrant of the entire Douluo Continent series, Nanbo Wan understood the principle of "not allowing others to snore beside one's bed" all too well. Therefore, he not only did not stop the Holy Spirit Cult's actions, but also actively fueled them.

Unlike Xu Tianran, who already knew the inside story, Douluo Three Kingdoms and Shrek Academy were a bit confused.

The Sun Moon Empire, a nation that only collided with the Douluo Continent four thousand years ago, is fundamentally skeptical of the legend of the Seven Devils ascending to immortality ten thousand years ago, and doesn't believe at all that any so-called gods exist on the Douluo Continent.

But Douluo Three Kingdoms is different; they truly believe that Tang San and the other seven ascended to godhood!

Therefore, for the past ten thousand years, regardless of what the high-ranking officials of the three great empires thought, the common people, under the guidance of Shrek Academy, believed in the existence of gods. The plaque inscribed with Tang Sanhai's divine position was worshipped in the homes of many people, with incense burning day and night.

In recent years, as the Holy Spirit Cult has grown stronger and more powerful, the actions of evil spirit masters have become increasingly rampant, and the public's calls for the protection of the sea god have grown louder and louder.

Many people regard Shrek and the Sea God as their spiritual anchors, using them to pray for peace.

Then... now this group of evil spirit masters suddenly tells the world that they are a sect organization, an evil spirit master sect called the Holy Spirit Cult, who worships the Asura God and regards the Asura God as the Holy Emperor.

Moreover, this Asura God is none other than Tang San, the Sea God who led Shrek Academy in resisting evil soul masters.

Goodness, really goodness.

Using the United States as an example, it appears to act as the world's policeman, maintaining peace everywhere, repelling mercenaries and terrorists, and establishing a positive image of loving peace.

In reality, these mercenaries and terrorists were trained by the US itself, and their weapons and equipment were all provided by the US, all for the sake of putting on a show so that the US could naturally proliferate in those oil-rich lands.

The one who harvests oil (faith) is actually the Sea God Tang San himself?

With the end of the Holy Spirit Cult's attacks, the "Shura Judgment Codex," which they left behind during the attacks, began to spread widely.

Not everyone in Douluo Continent is literate, but there are bound to be some who become bards. Bards are often a bit rebellious, believing that what they see is the truth. Thinking they have seen the truth, they decide to travel the continent to expose the true face of the evil Tang San.

Firstly, it would allow the unsuspecting public to see the light of day again, and secondly, it would allow them to earn some money to support themselves.

And so, one by one, the bards, each with their own agenda, began to tell the stories within the "Shura Judgment Codex" to the world. Wherever they went, they would stop in places inhabited by humans and tell the contents of the book to the illiterate commoners.

Of course, not all of these bards were earning money voluntarily; as mentioned before, Xu Tianran was also secretly encouraging it.

Therefore, a large portion of these bards were actually spies planted by the Sun and Moon Empire within the three great empires.

Of course, some were sent out by the Holy Spirit Church itself, and the last part joined in after seeing that bards could actually earn money.
