Douluo Continent: When Huo Yuhao Becomes the Lord of the End

Chapter 200 The Holy Spirit Cult of Sun and Moon Became History

"Old man, you really think you've got us cornered!"

"Don't push your luck!!"

Kong Deming remained completely calm.

When a person can only talk the talk, it means they are already in a passive position; simply put, they have no other options.

"Supreme Leader, everyone knows the relationship between the Holy Spirit Sect and the Sun and Moon Sect. However, starting today, the Sun and Moon Sect will abolish the Holy Spirit Sect's status as a Sun and Moon Sect, and there will be no more connection between the two sides."

"From now on, there will be no room for the Holy Spirit Cult to develop in the Sun and Moon region."

"The remnants of the Holy Spirit Cult in the Sun and Moon Army, the Supreme Leader would be best off taking matters into his own hands. Whether you recall them or deal with them as soon as possible, I can give you some time. Otherwise, I don't mind tearing apart the last bit of friendship between us."

Ye Xi's chest heaved with sweat, while Zhong Liwu wished he could devour Kong Deming and the others alive.

The former is understandable, since all major events in the Holy Spirit Cult originate from this person. However, Zhongli Wu's anger is hard to understand, because he felt he had been ignored.

I am, after all, the leader of the Holy Spirit Cult. Yet, this old fellow Kong Deming seems to have completely ignored me, not saying a single word to me from beginning to end. He doesn't take me, the leader of the Holy Spirit Cult, seriously at all.

I am the leader of the Holy Spirit Cult! Why don't you all care about me? What a nobody I am, you bastards!

Of course, even though his eyes were bloodshot and his fists were clenched, Kong Deming and Du Busi still couldn't notice the Holy Spirit Cult leader, who was standing like a lackey. Even if they did notice him, they couldn't understand what was wrong with him.

In Kong Deming's view, this attack on the Holy Spirit Cult was definitely not just a simple matter of cleaning up the chronic problems of the Sun and Moon Sect.

After all, if he wanted to target the Holy Spirit Cult, there were many more methods available—nine in total. He had a full nine methods to target the Holy Spirit Cult.

Putting everything else aside, even if we just ask the royal family to be patient for now, and then use the Holy Spirit Cult and the original Douluo Three Kingdoms to fight it out, we can still maximize our benefits.

As long as the Sun and Moon Sects don't completely break ties, the Holy Spirit Cult's strength can be used to fight Shrek Academy to the death. Later, it can play a greater strategic role in unifying the continent.

But as I said before, the royal family despises the Holy Spirit Church, as do the Temple of Worship and the Temple of Bright Virtue. They've had enough of playing along with these lunatics, and they've had enough of the Holy Spirit Church's nonsensical attempts to interfere in national affairs and constantly threaten the common people at this time.

With the Sun and Moon Sect flourishing and its grassroots productivity changing rapidly, coupled with the fact that the Body Sect is about to side with the Sun and Moon Sect, the previous status of the Holy Spirit Sect is no longer of much use.

Previously, the Sun Moon Sect and the Holy Spirit Sect mutually benefited from each other. The Sun Moon Sect needed the Holy Spirit Sect's combat power to achieve its strategic goals in order to deal with the Three Kingdoms and Shrek Academy, which put pressure on it. Meanwhile, the Holy Spirit Sect needed to rely on the Sun Moon Sect to gain a wider space for survival and ensure its own development.

However, now that the productivity of the Sun and Moon's grassroots is making great strides, if we allow these evil soul masters like the Holy Spirit Cult to continue to harm the common people with impunity, slaughtering civilians and devouring their souls, then the Sun and Moon will truly be doomed.

Neither the royal family nor the higher-ups could stand by and watch the Holy Spirit Church ruin the current favorable situation. Most importantly, Xu Tianran from the royal family was unwilling to let himself be tainted.

Xu Tianran even overturned his own plans, unable to wait until the war broke out to take action. He wanted to ensure that his ascension to the throne was legitimate, unlike his father who was dying of old age and was subject to the threat of the Holy Spirit Church for his entire life, becoming a 'puppet emperor' who worked for them.

Therefore, in summary, Kong Deming's idea was that the Holy Spirit Church could not be destroyed, but it must be kept away from the sun and moon.

Given the current conflicts between the Holy Spirit Cult and the original Douluo Three Kingdoms and Shrek Academy, and the latter's self-proclaimed righteousness and political correctness that it would never accept the Holy Spirit Cult, the Holy Spirit Cult would definitely clash with the three great empires if it entered the territory of the original Douluo Three Kingdoms.

When the time comes for the dogs to fight each other, the Sun and Moon will be happy to see it happen. They can still achieve their original strategic goals, and they can also leave themselves more room for development, while keeping the energy of the original Douluo Three Kingdoms and Shrek Academy tied down.

Most importantly, his own disciple said that after his seclusion ends, he will go to Shrek Academy to handle a major matter. How can the Empire have such a malignant tumor as the Holy Spirit Cult?

Anyway, Shrek Academy will be targeted in the future, so let's keep the Holy Spirit Cult, this restless 'bomb,' and let them fight Shrek Academy!
You like to wipe out evil spirit masters? Here, we'll give you our lair. Don't say we Sun Moon Sect members are unjust.

How could the Demon Forest of Sun and Moon possibly be truly assigned to the Holy Spirit Cult, making it the place of their ascension?

The atmosphere remained silent for a long time before Ye Xishui slowly exhaled, as if she had made a very reluctant decision.

“Alright, the Holy Spirit Cult can leave the Holy Land, but it will take time.”

As he spoke, a playful smile appeared on his lips. "However, the Holy Church has a large number of followers, and the decision is made hastily. There will definitely be oversights. Sun and Moon should not complain about the trouble when the time comes."

She didn't care about the lower-level Soul Masters of the Holy Spirit Cult, or even the elders. The Holy Spirit Cult's doctrines that deceived the lower-level evil Soul Masters were utter nonsense to her.

The reason for this is simply to use those low-level evil spirit masters who can be sacrificed at any time, so that Sun and Moon will experience the price of betrayal later.

Moreover, the original balance between the Holy Church, the Evil Emperor, and the Sun and Moon has been broken. The ruler of the Demon Forest will not want to just stand by and watch the Sun and Moon's strength develop rapidly.

Time has passed enough; that person might very well step in to help them.

Kong Deming knew what this person was thinking and directly retorted.

"Don't waste your time. The purge of evil spirit master spies within the empire began the moment I arrived. Your behavior just now, along with that old dragon's, was simply an attempt to get an explanation from the imperial family!"

"I can tell you clearly here that the royal family will never allow any evil forces to continue to harm the development of Sun and Moon. This is not only His Majesty the Emperor's will, but also the will of all the high-ranking officials of Sun and Moon."

No, no, the royal family's attitude is even more ruthless than that.

The Holy Spirit Cult elders on the royal side also began the cleanup immediately. It's unknown how many will be left. Ye Xishui's idea of ​​taking one last group to save face is simply out of the question.

"And another thing," Kong Deming looked directly into Long Xiaoyao's eyes, "that person in the Demon Forest can't help you either. Do you really think that living peacefully with a ferocious beast for so many years is enough to be your trump card?"

He was originally worried that the ferocious beast in the Demon Forest might suddenly attack, but his disciple had told him a secret before going into seclusion, assuring him that the beast in the Demon Forest would not make a move. He trusted his disciple, which was why he was being so aggressive at the moment.

Otherwise, that old fellow from the Body Sect wouldn't be gathered here now; he would have already gone to guard against the Evil Emperor in the Demon Forest. The Evil Emperor and the Holy Spirit Cult have a secret relationship unknown to outsiders, but for someone like Kong Deming, the intricacies are crystal clear.

As the totem beast of the Sun Moon Empire, the Evil Emperor provides a safe haven for the Holy Spirit Cult, but the Holy Spirit Cult also sends specific soul masters, especially spirit-type soul masters, to him for cultivation every year.

In the past, the sun and moon might have turned a blind eye, but not now. Either the Evil Emperor should stay obediently in the Demon Forest, or he should perish along with the Holy Spirit Cult.

It's just a soul beast. So what if it has the reputation of being the second most ferocious of the ten most ferocious beasts? It can't stop a few of my soul-guided bombs.

Of course, that's pure bragging!
Kong Deming knew that what he was saying was just bragging, but so what? If you, Evil Emperor, still want to be the totem of the sun and moon, you have to swallow your pride.

Ye Xishui hadn't expected that Kong Deming had seen through her thoughts completely. Although she was unwilling to admit it, she still felt frustrated. Moreover, the battle that had just broken out was quite loud, and the Evil Emperor hadn't appeared yet. Clearly, he didn't want to get involved in their fight.

Ye Xishui wanted to curse in her heart. Although the Holy Sect had a mutually beneficial relationship with this Evil Emperor in the past, the offerings were still considerable every year. He had also promised to take action if the Holy Sect was threatened. In recent years, the Holy Sect had not hunted any soul beasts from the Demon Forest.

How could he be so unethical!
Meanwhile, what was the Evil Eye Tyrant, whom Ye Xishui was thinking about, doing?

That's right, he's been intercepted by Di Tian, ​​and the two are currently discussing the beast's life!
Long Xiaoyao finally stepped forward, his voice aged yet full of magnetism.

"Let's drop this matter. The Holy Spirit Church will withdraw from the Sun and Moon territory and seek another place to develop."

He had long been fed up with the Holy Spirit Church, and the passing of his old friend Moon had given rise to some unusual thoughts in his mind.

He lost his only close friend, the only person among his peers who understood him, and the emotional entanglement that had lasted for a century was broken. Now, his only obsession is to atone for his sins by protecting Ye Xishui. Nothing else matters.

Ye Xishui looked on in disbelief, "Chief Elder, you..."

As mentioned before, Ye Xishui is a very contradictory person. Her true feelings lean towards Long Xiaoyao, but she also has complicated feelings for Mu En. Moreover, she is an absolute madwoman, a complete lunatic.

His psychological distortion is no less than that of the Spirit Hall Pope ten thousand years ago. Both are typical examples of turning love into hatred and transforming their pain into hatred for the entire world, attempting to vent their hatred on the whole world.

Ye Xishui was even better, because she did things in a way that made it impossible for people to perceive her purpose, or rather, she had no purpose at all.

Everything they do, whether it's to prove they are needed, to use the Holy Spirit Church platform to deify themselves as saviors, or to create disasters to achieve their distorted self-realization, is a form of self-expression.

It is a complex entity that combines endless resentment, lust for power, and dark beliefs.

Now that Long Xiaoyao has openly stood up for her and made a decision for her, protecting her ridiculous self-esteem, she is not only unhappy, but also feels that her power and status have been questioned.

In the past, he had always used his authority as a teacher and the debt he owed Long Xiaoyao to control him. Now, Long Xiaoyao was making decisions ignoring him. Why? What right did Long Xiaoyao have to do this?

"That would be perfect!"

Kong Deming knew about the relationship between Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao. He knew that Long Xiaoyao's influence was no less than that of Ye Xishui, the Supreme Leader of the Cult, and he had no interest in the old, trivial matters between the two.

The Holy Spirit Cult no longer has the leverage to negotiate. Caught off guard by this unexpected action, the Holy Spirit Cult has suffered a devastating blow and can only slink away from Sun and Moon Sect with no other option.

As for whether there will be retaliation, don't be ridiculous. The Holy Spirit Cult is an evil organization that everyone hates. Haven't they done enough evil deeds in the past?
The members of the Poison Immortal Sect and the Body Sect watched the show from the sidelines, showing no concern for the Holy Spirit Sect.

With Huo Yuhao, the young sect leader who can bring prosperity to the Body Sect for three generations, it doesn't matter whether the Body Sect follows the Heavenly Soul Sect or becomes the state religion with the Sun and Moon Sect.

Moreover, judging from the current situation, it is clear that Sun Moon Sect has a brighter future. If Sun Moon Sect can truly unify the continent in the upcoming war, the Body Sect, which is now taking advantage of the Holy Spirit Sect's elimination to pledge allegiance, will obviously gain the greatest benefit.

It goes without saying which is more attractive: a sect that is controlled by one side and a sect that may one day reach the pinnacle of the entire continent.

Moreover, who says the Body Sect has no other means?

Even if Sun Moon Sect ultimately fails, there's still Yuhao as a safety net. As long as Yuhao grows up and he becomes a Limit Douluo, with two Limit Douluos, their status will remain as secure as ever.

The Body Sect has placed bets on Tianhun's side, with Long Aotian being a prime example. Regardless of who wins, the Body Sect will not lose; this is what is meant by placing multiple bets.

With the matter at the Holy Spirit Cult headquarters resolved, even if Ye Xishui and Zhong Liwu were unhappy, they had no power to change the overall situation.

Under the leadership of Long Xiaoyao, the nominal chief elder of the Holy Spirit Cult, the remaining four 'survivors' of the Holy Spirit Cult headquarters left in disgrace. To avoid any unforeseen complications, several level-nine soul masters monitored the entire process.

Poison Undying complained a couple of times about Kong Deming before leaving as well. He was worried about the Evil Eye Tyrant in the Demon Forest, given the considerable conflict between the two sides in the past.

If that person suddenly becomes aware of my presence, it will definitely lead to another great battle. After all, I killed their clansmen, so they will surely seek revenge.

Furthermore, he hadn't seen his disciple in a long time, and Du Busi missed him terribly, wondering what level that kid was at now.
As for Kong Deming, he stayed with the Holy Spirit Church because there was still some cleanup work to be done.

For example, the altars that hadn't been taken away in time and survived the recent battle; the soul-guided device laboratories the Holy Spirit Cult had built deep underground; and the closed bases used for house arrest and brainwashing.
Looking at this extremely evil place, Kong Deming couldn't help but sigh.

The old emperor did indeed make a foolish mistake by allowing the Holy Spirit Cult to poison the Sun and Moon Sect for so many years. Although the Sun and Moon Sect has used the Holy Spirit Cult to do many things over the years, in the long run, the harm still outweighs the benefits.

It's also my fault for letting the royal family and evil spirit masters collude. What my disciple said before was right: if a country or a regime wants to truly rise, it still needs to follow the righteous path. Underhanded methods can never be brought to the table.

Fortunately, it's not too late now; this malignant tumor clinging to the sun and moon has been completely removed.

After gathering the resources within the Holy Spirit Cult and rescuing the unbrainwashed Soul Masters and children, Kong Deming generously placed a Level 9 fixed-position Soul Guidance Bomb here.

In a deafening explosion and a blinding burst of flames, the evils rooted in this place were eradicated, and the Holy Spirit Cult of Sun and Moon became history.
