Gods of the Nation: You worship the God of Longevity, I worship the King of Hell!

Chapter 109 I Became the Cult Leader?
"Wh-what?!"

The moment the Plague Emperor uttered the words "Rakshasa Sect," Lu Chen's pupils constricted and his whole body trembled violently.

He pointed instinctively at the statue, stammering in disbelief, "Star Lord... could it be that the Xuan Gu Ancestor... is you?!"

Zheng Changguo had previously mentioned to Yu Feng that the Rakshasa Sect worshipped an evil god known as the "Ancestor of Xuan Gu".

The Plague Emperor has now mentioned the Rakshasa Cult again.

The meaning is all too obvious!
However, the Plague Emperor sneered upon hearing this: "Boy, you underestimate me too much. If I truly intended to recruit followers in the mortal realm, how could it be as simple as just a cult? When I do move, it will bring about earth-shattering changes and the collapse of the human world."

"Uh……"

Lu Chen actually believed that.

As one of the Eight Righteous Gods, with the methods and power of the Plague Emperor, if He really wanted to play, how could a mere cult possibly measure His abilities?
"Then what exactly is the relationship between the Rakshasa Cult and the Plague Tribe?"

"Fine, since you are now the 'Plague Master' of this department, I may tell you some things." The Plague Emperor said in a calm tone: "The Xuan Gu Ancestor you mentioned is just a minor heavenly general under the Western Plague Envoy of the Plague Department. He took advantage of my inattention to sneak down to the mortal realm to cause trouble and set up a heretical cult."

After I learned of this, I have severely punished him.

Now that the Rakshasa Cult is leaderless, it's the perfect opportunity to put it under your command.

You need not worry. I have already sent a message from the West to the Rakshasa Cult. From now on, you will be the 'Holy Ancestor descended to earth'.

Those remaining followers of the Rakshasa sect will worship you as their master.

As for how to win people's hearts, that depends on your own methods.

In short, I've prepared everything for you.

What you do next is entirely up to you.

The Plague Emperor spoke of it lightly and matter-of-factly.

But Lu Chen just couldn't believe it no matter how she listened.

It wasn't that he didn't believe the Xuan Gu Ancestor was just a lowly soldier in the Plague Department.

Rather, they didn't believe that the Plague Emperor would be unaware of the existence of the Rakshasa Cult.

Why wasn't it discovered sooner or later?
Just when he needed manpower the most, he "coincidentally" discovered it?
This is too much of a coincidence.

It's practically an attempt to cover up the truth.

Moreover, His method of condoning His subordinates' rampage in the mortal realm is truly too "unpredictable" and too intriguing...

Lu Chen took a deep breath, thinking to himself:
"If the demons and monsters in the lower realm, or other instances, are all intricately connected to the Heavenly Court."

"Then who knows how many gods and immortals we'll have to worship and how many sects we'll have to beg for help from in the future!"

Seeing through it but not saying it, Lu Chen immediately clasped his hands and said, "I see, disciple understands! Where are these people now?"

"You don't need to go looking for them; they will come to you. You should think about how to settle them."

"Yes, disciple, I obey!"

Seeing that the time was almost up, the Plague Emperor gave his final instructions:

"If you encounter any problems that you cannot solve in the future, you may come to me. However, if it is just a dispute in the human world, try to resolve it yourself. We are bound by the Heavenly Court and cannot interfere in human affairs at will."

As for the long road ahead, you should think it over carefully. The path you choose is yours.

"Yes, disciple, keep this in mind."

As soon as he finished speaking, the miasma dissipated, and everything in the living room returned to normal.

Lu Chen breathed a long sigh of relief.

"boom!!!!"

Right now!

His magical power surged violently like thunder, his meridians bulged, and a tearing pain suddenly struck him!
Fortunately, I had experienced the excruciating pain of "making images to communicate with the gods," which was like having my hair plucked and bones pulled out.

The pain he was in now had made Lu Chen somewhat numb.

He felt as if his skin, muscles, and bones were being repeatedly washed and tempered by magical power, and a solid texture was rising steadily.

"This is?"

With a thought, Lu Chen sank into his sea of ​​consciousness.

Sure enough, the two spirit lamps shone brightly with silver light, dazzlingly radiant!
"This is... the peak of the second rank at its perfect state?!"

No, that's not right!

He suddenly realized that a third lamp had burst forth from beside the two lamps!

The lampstand gradually solidifies from its initial form, eventually taking a firm and stable shape.

The three lamps shine brightly, like three stars shining together, their spiritual energy circulating endlessly, never ceasing.

Lu Chen's body shone with spiritual light, and his aura soared, leaping from the early stage of the second rank to the third rank of spiritual practitioner!
"My God... Others need to make offerings hundreds or thousands of times to break through, but I only made one big offering and I leveled up?!"

"As expected of a Star Lord-level deity, the residual divine power feedback alone is enough to allow me to cross a major realm!"

Lu Chen felt the power surging wildly within his body.

This level of power is simply incomparable to that of a second-grade spiritual practitioner.

No wonder he was still unable to defeat Master Lingshui in a head-on confrontation last time, even though he possessed the Four Dragon Gods.

The difference is indeed too obvious!

However, this upgrade system can indeed be addictive for spiritual practitioners!
You can become stronger just by praying to the gods!

No wonder the whole nation worships it!
Suppressing his thoughts, Lu Chen began to organize the gains from this divine intervention.

The harvest was nothing short of "explosive":
1: Break through to the third rank of Spirit Master!
2: Take the position of the Plague Prince!
3: The Plague Emperor Banner in hand! 4: The secrets of 108 kinds of Plague Pills!

5: Guidance on the Method of Achieving Sainthood in the Physical Body!
6; Rakshasa Cult!

This was only a short period of ten minutes.

The amount of information is astonishingly large, almost unbelievable.

"It was truly worth it for my seven days and seven nights of sleepless nights and my bravery in the City God Street! It was all worth it!"

Unable to contain his excitement, Lu Chen immediately activated the [Pure Water] divine power to force himself to calm down.

He took a deep breath, still feeling a little dazed: "Ten days ago, I thought the Rakshasa Sect was some kind of big boss, and that there might be a fierce battle in the future... I never expected that ten days later, the entire Rakshasa Sect would be on our side. I've become the boss?!"

Lu Chen found it increasingly outrageous.

It truly proves the saying: Man proposes, God disposes.

It's important to know that the Rakshasa Cult was originally an SS-level dungeon, with a military merit of up to 20,000 and a bounty of up to 100 million!
Later, I heard from Yu Feng that his stronghold had been destroyed by the imperial army that was sent to exterminate demons, and that his strength had been severely damaged, with nearly half of his forces lost.

I didn't realize it at the time, but looking back now... I feel so guilty!

So it turns out it was all my men who did it!

However, Yu Feng also mentioned that the Rakshasa Sect originally had four elders in charge, two of whom were the most evil and the most powerful, but they had been killed by the Demon-Slaying Army.

The two remaining ones, which had relatively good reputations, survived.

One of them was a female elder.

"Fine, fine, three thousand it is. Only with three thousand men can we uphold the reputation of the 'family'! With the manpower problem solved, we can then operate on two fronts: ghost money and plague pills! It'll be absolutely awesome!"

However, after the initial excitement...

Lu Chen suddenly realized two problems:

First, the Rakshasa Cult is still a wanted criminal by the imperial court. Would it be appropriate for me to rashly accept this group of remnants of the evil cult?

More precisely, how can I remove the "cult" label from them?
After all, we should be on the right path in the future, and we can't lead them to continue doing evil.

This is something that the Plague Emperor must have also hoped for.

Second, if I successfully recruit them, how should the rewards for this SS-level dungeon be calculated?

Although the rewards have been downgraded and the bounty and military merits have been halved, as a "Special Grade" individual, I can still enjoy double the benefits.

So, it still comes to 20,000!

At that time, my total military merits will reach a terrifying 48,200 points!

"Holy crap, I'm practically on my way to becoming a new rich kid...?!"

Lu Chen felt a buzzing in his head.

If that's the case, the "Heavenly Intention to Kill" mission alone could bring him 30,000 military merits.

--hiss!!
terrible!

No!

This reward is a must-win!

I want him!
I want military merit too!
"If all else fails... I'll ask Old Zheng to intervene; it'll definitely be helpful!"

Lu Chen decided to wait for the Rakshasa Cult members to come to him and recruit them before making further plans.

"I just don't know when these people will arrive. There are a total of three thousand people, and their food, clothing, and lodging will be quite a problem."

He couldn't help but chuckle: "What is lost on one front is gained on another. I failed to recruit those three thousand Yin soldiers and generals, but unexpectedly, I've gained three thousand elite soldiers and generals in the blink of an eye... Moreover, these people are all ruthless and bloodthirsty. With such a group of subordinates, let's see who dares to mess with me in Jiangdu City from now on!!"

At this moment, the flames of ambition ignited for the first time in Lu Chen's heart!
—The new elite of Jiangdu!
—The Temple of Lu!
It seems so far away, yet so close at hand!

……

Time flew by, and two days later, at the City Lord's Mansion.

Yu Feng is working in his office.

Suddenly, someone stumbled and ran in from outside the door.

"My lord, something terrible has happened!"

"What's going on? Why are you all so flustered?" Yu Feng frowned.

"According to intelligence reports, a large number of mysterious spiritual practitioners, numbering in the thousands, have appeared in the mountains outside Jiangdu City!"

"what?!"

Yu Feng stood up on the spot, his eyes wide: "Who is it? Did you see clearly?!"

"They've all been disguised, but... in one of the photos, I spotted a familiar face."

"Who?"

"Rakshasa Cult Protector - King's Cave!"
