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

Chapter 110 The Birth of the Strongest New Power in Jiangdu's History!!!
hum-

Yu Feng felt a surge of heat rush to his head, and his face instantly turned red: "Rakshasa Sect? These remnants dare to invade the borders of my Jiangdu City!"

But then a doubt arose in his mind: "They should be thousands of miles away in southern Hunan, so why have they suddenly appeared here?"

"I don't know either. So far, I've only found out that they're hiding deep in the mountains and haven't made any moves yet. But in my opinion, they must have ulterior motives and intend to harm Jiangdu City!"

Yu Feng suppressed his anger and ordered in a deep voice: "Immediately mobilize the soldiers guarding the city and close all the city gates!"

"As ordered!"

The subordinate quickly took the order and left.

Yu Feng forced himself to remain calm and formulated a defense plan.

Although he couldn't figure out what had happened for the time being, strengthening the defenses was definitely the right thing to do.

After all, that's the infamous Rakshasa Cult!
No alert level is too high!

However, the city defenses of Jiangdu were ultimately limited.

He immediately called the four major families and ten rising stars of Jiangdu City, demanding that they immediately dispatch manpower to jointly defend the city.

This is also the responsibility of the local family.

……

South of the city, the Sun family mansion.

Upon receiving the call, Sun Qingcang frowned, equally incredulous: "Rest assured, sir, I will immediately dispatch men to assist in the defense. See you on the city wall!"

"Dad, what happened?" Sun Yourong, standing behind him, was surprised to see her father so tense.

"Yourong, stay home these next few days and don't go out. Jiangdu City is about to become unsafe!"

"What happened?"

"The Rakshasa Cult has appeared outside the city; their intentions are unclear."

"The Rakshasa Cult? What are they doing in Jiangdu City?"

Sun Yourong was shocked and moved.

“I don’t know the details either. You stay at home and don’t go anywhere.” Sun Qingcang picked up his clothes and was about to leave when he suddenly stopped, turned back and ordered, “By the way, send someone to Lu Chen’s house and bring his whole family to our house. If the Rakshasa Sect uses its poisonous arts, who knows what kind of chaos the city will become.”

"okay, I get it!"

After Sun Qingcang left in a hurry, Sun Yourong thought it over and decided to drive there herself.

On the other hand, Yu Feng acted swiftly and efficiently.

The call was made in less than half an hour.

The city defense force of Jiangdu City totals 10,000 men.

Each of the four major families contributed 3,000 troops.

The remaining ten newly powerful families each sent out a thousand troops.

A total of 32,000 people stood guard at the city gate.

"Lord, how is the situation?"

The clan heads who rushed over asked in unison.

"We are still investigating the exact location; the previous location has disappeared without a trace."

Yu Feng frowned.

"The Rakshasa Cult is located far away in southern Hunan, so how could it suddenly appear in Jiangdu?"

Sun Qingcang asked in a deep voice.

"I don't know, but the appearance of these sorcerers can't be anything good!"

Yu Feng slammed his fist on the city wall: "Damn it, the Demon-Slaying Army's methods are still not thorough enough. If we had wiped out the Rakshasa Sect in one fell swoop, none of this would have happened. Now we can only find out the exact location of the Rakshasa Sect and try to wipe them out completely in one fell swoop!!"

The four family heads looked at each other in bewilderment upon hearing this.

It seems that a bloody battle is inevitable.

This time, I don't know how many people will die!
……

Although the city was filled with a tense atmosphere, with everyone on high alert and ready to fight.

Within Jiangdu City, the locals were still unaware of what had happened, and the city remained peaceful and tranquil, unchanged from before.

Nanshan Residential Area.

At this moment, an elegant and noble figure gracefully entered this old house.

"Auntie, could you tell me how to get to Lu Chen's house?"

Aunt Wang, who had just returned from grocery shopping, stared at the breathtakingly beautiful woman before her and was instantly stunned.

The last person to give her this feeling of amazement was Sun Yourong, the eldest daughter of the Sun family, who had come to pick them up to go to the Sun Family Temple to worship the gods.

She replied blankly, "Miss, you are...? Oh, I see, you're here to buy ghost money too, right?"

"Ghost money?" The woman was slightly taken aback, clearly not understanding it at all, but then nodded with a smile: "Yes, that's right."

"You sound like you're from out of town? Hehe, I didn't expect Xiao Chen's ghost money business to have spread so far. Come on, let me point it out to you. Go up from this building, the apartment on the left on the third floor is it."

"Thank you, ma'am."

"Don't mention it! Go on your way."

The woman nodded her thanks, but looking at the dilapidated neighborhood before her, she frowned slightly, still somewhat incredulous.

"The cult leader... he actually lives in a place like this!?"

A moment later, on the third floor.

The woman standing in front of the door took a deep breath, straightened her clothes, and then knocked on the door.

"Boom boom boom!"

Inside the house, Lu Chen was playing with his younger sister.

Hearing the noise, Lu Chen got up to open the door.

Upon opening the door, Lu Chen was slightly taken aback to see a strikingly handsome stranger standing outside: "Who are you?"

"Are you Mr. Lu Chen?"

"Correct."

The woman's expression hardened, and she suddenly became respectful, lowering her voice to say, "Rakshasa Sect—Zeng Rou."

Lu Chen's pupils contracted slightly, and he stepped aside: "Come in, let's talk."

"Yes!"

Zeng Rou walked into the house, her gaze quickly sweeping over the small but tidy living room, finally settling on a little girl.

"Little sister, go to your room. We have guests. Let me entertain them."

"Okay!" Lu Wan obediently ran into the room.

Fortunately, Lu's parents were not home at the moment, making it convenient for them to talk.

Lu Chen plopped down on the sofa.

Zeng Rou knelt down immediately: "Elder Zeng Rou of the Rakshasa Sect, I have come to pay my respects to the Sect Leader by order of the Ancestor!"

"So you're Zeng Rou."

Lu Chen remembered the name.

Previously, Zheng Changguo had asked her to stabilize Madam Zheng's illness.

At the time, I found it strange that a mere cult would have such means to control Tianfa's murderous intent.

Now that I think about it, I understand everything.

So they're all from the Plague Department; this is perfect for treating the problem. "Does the leader know me?"

Zeng Rou lowered her head, glancing at Lu Chen out of the corner of her eye, a hint of disbelief flashing in her eyes.

She never expected that the first "leader" in the history of the Rakshasa Cult would be so young.

The key is also knowing yourself?
Did the ancestor mention it to him?

"You treated the former prefect's wife, Madam Zheng, didn't you?"

"Master, how...how did you know?" Zeng Rou was even more surprised.

"Because I went too."

"I see. Madam Zheng's illness is extremely difficult to cure. I have tried everything, but I can only delay it. I wonder, Master..."

"He's cured," Lu Chen said calmly.

Zeng Rou: "!!!?"

"How many of you came in total? Where are you now?"

Lu Chen got straight to the point.

"Reporting to the leader, there are currently only 3,127 people left in the sect, all of whom are lying in ambush in Black Wind Ridge, 30 miles outside the city, awaiting orders."

Zeng Rou said with a sorrowful expression: "Since the main altar was destroyed by the Demon-Slaying Army and Elders Feng Tianhua and Feng Tianhua perished, the sect is now leaderless and people are in a state of panic. Recently, I received a decree from the Ancestor, who said that the sect leader is the 'Holy Ancestor descended to earth' and specially ordered us to come and serve him. We are willing to respect the sect leader and revitalize our sect."

"Stop, stop, stop! We didn't bring you here to continue being a cult. Do you want to spend your whole lives as rats, hiding here and there?"

"This……"

Zeng Rou cautiously asked, "What does the leader mean?"

“I have other uses for you three thousand people. In short, you need to change your mindset. As long as you are willing to follow me, you will live a life of luxury and great days await you.”

Lu Chen changed the subject: "By the way, tell me first, out of these three thousand people, how many are at the second rank, how many at the third rank, and how many at the fourth and fifth ranks?"

"Reporting to the Sect Leader, there are currently two fourth-rank elders left, namely Elder Wang Zhidong and myself. There are twenty-seven third-rank elders, three hundred and forty-two second-rank elders, and the rest are first-rank elders. Because the Demon-Slaying Army came too fiercely, most of the sect's elites were killed. Otherwise, there would be more than a hundred third-rank elders alone."

Buzz! ! ! ! !
Lu Chen's heart exploded on the spot!

More than twenty people of the third rank?

More than 300 second-rank officials?

Damn it!
With that kind of foundation, he'd be able to do whatever he wants in Jiangdu City!

Let alone the newly rich, even the established families have arrived.

Lu Chen now has the resources to go toe-to-toe with the other party!

Sent!

This is a huge windfall!

—Jiangdu, no! The strongest new power in the history of the nation, is officially born at this moment!

Although his heart was pounding, Lu Chen remained as calm as a rock on the surface. He simply cleared his throat and asked, "What about the character of the remaining group? Oh, wait..."

It's a cult, what does it have to do with character?

"Are the remaining people easy to manage? If they are the kind who are wholeheartedly devoted to evil, they will not meet the needs of our sect's future development."

Zeng Rou's heart stirred, and she immediately understood Lu Chen's meaning. She said with even greater sincerity, "Please rest assured, Master. In fact, there are several factions within the Rakshasa Sect. The radical faction is represented by Elders Feng Tianhua and me, the moderate faction is represented by me, and the neutral faction is represented by Protector Wang Zhidong. In the battle against the Demon-Slaying Army, almost all members of the radical faction were killed. We are not inferior, so we had to preserve our seed for future plans."

"Running away in the face of battle doesn't seem like something to brag about?" Lu Chen sneered.

Zeng Rou trembled like a leaf. After thinking for a moment, she didn't explain further: "This subordinate has failed in her duty. Please punish me, Master!"

The air seemed to freeze, and Zeng Rou was drenched in cold sweat.

After a long while, Lu Chen's lazy voice finally came: "Fine, I can let bygones be bygones, but from now on... you should understand!"

boom! ! ! !

A surge of green miasma immediately enveloped Zeng Rou.

It shocked her immensely.

The purity of the poisonous gas in this miasma is dozens, even hundreds of times, higher than that of Feng Tianhua, the strongest cultivator in the Rakshasa Sect.

"Hiss!" She gasped, inwardly sighing, "As expected of the Holy Ancestor descended to earth, his mastery of poisons far surpasses my imagination!"

She kowtowed and said, "Rest assured, Master, from this day forward, Zeng Rou vows to be loyal to you to the death. If I break this vow, may I be struck down by heaven and earth!"

Lu Chen wasn't very interested in such a solemn oath: "I heard you're extremely skilled in sect affairs? Then I'll still entrust the daily management of the Rakshasa Sect to you from now on. I hope you can assist me well. As for the current situation, you should appease these three thousand-plus followers. Once I've removed your cultist status, I have other important arrangements for you!"

"Master, what did you say? You can clear our identities?" Zeng Rou's pupils dilated in shock.

"It will take some effort, but... it's not difficult."

If all else fails, Lu Chen can simply go to the Royal Treasury and exchange for a Dan Shu Iron Certificate.

You can pay 10,000 military merits to avoid death.

Zeng Rou was overjoyed: "If that's the case, please rest assured, Master, I will do my utmost to live up to your trust."

As she spoke, she raised her head and asked, "If the leader grants permission, I can lead the men in tonight to infiltrate in batches without alerting the city's defenses."

"No need," Lu Chen waved his hand. "I want you to enter the city openly and honestly."

"Boom boom boom!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than there was another urgent knocking on the door.

Lu Chen gestured for Zeng Rou to get up first, and then went to open the door.

"Sister Sun, what brings you here?"

"Lu Chen, where are your parents and younger sister?"

Sun Yourong glanced around and suddenly noticed a stunningly beautiful woman standing in the living room.

Sun Yourong's heart skipped a beat: "Who is she?"

"Oh, this is someone I just hired. They'll be working for the company from now on."

"Okay." Sun Yourong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but then became nervous again: "Quick, call your aunt and uncle and come with me!"

"Where?"

"Come to my house, I just received news that Jiangcheng is about to become turbulent!"

"What happened?"

"Do you still remember the Rakshasa Sect? I mentioned it to you before, Master Lingshui. Just now, City Lord Yu suddenly called my dad and said that the Rakshasa Sect suddenly appeared in Jiangdu City, intending to violate the law. Now, the entire Jiangdu City has gathered a large force, intending to eliminate the powerful enemy. My dad is worried that the Rakshasa Sect will use lethal force, so he asked me to take you to my house to hide!"

Sun Yourong spoke in the fastest tone she had ever used, like beans pouring from a bamboo tube.

"Uh... there's no need to be so nervous, they don't mean any harm."

"How do you know? You're not a member of the Rakshasa Cult. Hurry up, this isn't a joke!"

"If I said... I'm a member of the Rakshasa Cult, would you believe me?"

"If you keep fooling around like this, I'll really get angry!"

Lu Chen: "..."

He glanced at Zeng Rou behind him.

Zeng Rou understood and immediately knelt on one knee, proclaiming with utmost sincerity, "Elder Zeng Rou of the Rakshasa Sect pays respects to the Sect Leader!!!"

Sun Yourong: "????!!!!!"

He stammered incoherently, "She... Elder, Rakshasa Sect? What does she call you?!"

Lu Chen said in a serious tone: "Master, that is, boss..."
