Chapter 98 The New Holy Spirit Church Conference: The Five Great Venerables Attend

Chapter 98 The New Holy Spirit Church Conference: The Five Great Priests Attend

Joining the Holy Spirit Cult does not necessarily mean one is a heinous criminal who has killed countless people.

There are also people like Zhang Peng and Wu Yun, who have eaten Mao Xue Wang (a spicy Sichuan dish) a few times, or have been driven out by inferior goods and have nowhere to go after defecting.

The eight elders were all of the same ilk and none of them were good people. They were also weak, so Xu Cheng had never tried to win them over in recent years. Besides, even if he did try, the second elder, Nangong Wan, was a fence-sitter and might just turn around and reveal his plans.

Therefore, Xu Cheng only started with the twelve offerings.

To date, at least five people have expressed their interest.

Xu Cheng's plan was truly enticing, a series of ideas that would be remembered for generations, which were enough to get anyone's blood pumping.

In addition, some evil spirit masters of the Holy Spirit Cult take pleasure in killing and abusing others. Although they do not say anything, they despise associating with them.

Therefore, he only accepted a portion of the tasks for the purpose of offering sacrifices, and he worked alone.

He had no intention of agreeing with the Holy Spirit Church at all. After all, who could live normally with a group of madmen whose lives revolved around betrayal, conspiracy, trickery, and killing?

If it weren't for the two towering mountains above, they would have already gone to find another way to make a living.

inside the room.

A tall man with a handsome face and black and white hair, yet with an eerie air, stood with his hands behind his back, glancing down at the hotel through the window.

He is none other than the Third Elder, Ye Cheng, whose Martial Soul is Fallen Angel, and who is a Level 98 Super Douluo.

Originally a member of the Star Luo clan, he was a fallen noble family. However, at the age of six, his martial soul awakened into a mutated fallen angel. On that day, black mist filled the sky, countless evil spirits surrounded him, and strange bells rang. He was thus defined as an evil soul master. Coincidentally, his father had invited two old friends with whom he had a good relationship to the awakening ceremony.

Even though his father repeatedly begged not to let the news get out, the city's defense forces still surrounded them the next day.

In the end, both his parents died tragically, and he was sent away by his father using a teleportation array.

Later, he wandered off the mainland, encountered Long Xiaoyao, and joined the Holy Spirit Cult at Long's invitation.

"It's alright. My lifelong wish is to find someone with the Angelic Martial Soul, to protect them, and to pass on the Angelic Martial Soul. As for what His Highness the Holy Son has said, I will certainly comply..."

Ye Cheng said calmly.

Xu Cheng nodded.

This old man was extremely powerful. As the third elder, his strength ranked among the top three in the Holy Spirit Cult. However, his lifelong wish was simply to find an Angelic Martial Soul inheritor and pass on his bloodline.

He had almost no affection for the Holy Spirit Cult; if it weren't for Long Xiaoyao's invitation, he would have continued his wanderings across the continent long ago.

After all, with such formidable combat power, the Holy Spirit Cult was completely wiped out in the later stages of the original story. If he were to take action, it would surely cause a great stir.

"I have no other requests, as long as that woman can be killed!" Another white-haired, white-bearded old man narrowed his eyes.

"Don't worry, Elder Mu, I will personally end her life." Xu Cheng nodded slightly.

This old man's name is Qi Mu, his martial spirit is the Evil Spirit Sword, he loves killing, his martial spirit is level 96, and he is the fifth elder.

His original martial soul was called Jade Spirit Sword, a top-tier sword-type martial soul on the continent. It was said to be a descendant of the Seven Kill Sword from ten thousand years ago. However, for some unknown reason, his entire clan was slaughtered and sacrificed by Ye Xishui. After learning about this, his hair turned white overnight, and his martial soul mutated.

At the same time, he changed his appearance and infiltrated the Holy Spirit Cult, waiting for an opportunity to avenge his sect.

For Ye Xishui.

Xu Cheng has never met him.

But it was also clear that this person was the biggest player behind the scenes, without exception.

He felt disgusted by the whitewashing in the original work, which portrayed a character covered in blood who single-handedly founded the cancerous Holy Spirit Cult of Douluo and filled the Tower of Death with hundreds of thousands of wronged souls from Mingdu.

They even added another layer of "tragic love story" and "miserable background".

Anyway, they all use the Bibi Dong template, they're all crazy, they feel injustice themselves, so they retaliate against the mainland, and the innocent people suffer the most.

"I... am fine with anything."

Another middle-aged man, shrouded in black mist and whose face was obscured, yawned boredly: "Those lunatics from the Holy Spirit Cult are really boring. It's really hard to find a group of like-minded people among them. Since you're going to do it, I'll naturally support you."

"Thank you." Xu Cheng smiled and nodded.

His name is Zhang Cheng, his martial soul is the Alien Octopus, he is a level 95 Super Douluo, ranked tenth among the Venerables, his family used to live by the sea in the Sun Moon Empire, and the reason for joining the Holy Spirit Cult is unknown, he will not say when asked.

But through these people, it can be seen that most of them are entangled in various interests.

After all, among a group of evil soul masters, even if someone is mentally sound and doesn't have a bloodthirsty mind, they are definitely not some naive and innocent person. However, Xu Cheng was already quite satisfied.

He only cares about the result...

"Since that's the case, and everyone's here, Zhang Peng, you've been by the leader's side the longest, so tell us your thoughts."

Xu Cheng looked around.

“The leader’s dissatisfaction with you is growing day by day,” Zhang Peng said slowly upon hearing this.

His face showed a hint of seriousness.

"Hehe, as expected." Xu Cheng nodded, pursing his lips.

"He complained to everyone that you were hindering his plans. After all, in the Holy Spirit Cult, apart from us twelve elders and the eight elders, most evil soul masters need to devour souls and flesh to evolve. If you stop him from devouring ordinary people, he won't be able to target the nobles, so naturally..."

Dark Clouds nodded in agreement.

"Ah."

Xu Cheng closed his eyes.

He knew long ago that the Holy Spirit Cult was a double-edged sword, which is why he secretly tried to win over and worship them.

Previously, helping him compete for the title of Fourth Prince was a benefit, but now, the blade has been turned against him.

Of course, Xu Cheng had a reasonable suspicion that it was that old woman Ye Xishui who was manipulating things behind the scenes. After all, Zhongli Wu was called the leader, but in reality, he was just a pawn of hers.

“Therefore, Your Highness, you need to make preparations as soon as possible,” Wu Yun said.

“But overthrowing the Holy Spirit Cult is difficult, extremely difficult…” Ye Cheng frowned. “Not to mention Ye Xishui, I estimate she has already reached level 99 Limit Douluo. Long Xiaoyao alone is someone we cannot shake. Although I am level 98, only one step away from him, that one step is like an insurmountable chasm.”

"Senior Long was known for his chivalrous deeds and vengeance in previous years, and his reputation on the continent was not weak. But why did he follow that woman so devotedly..."

The Evil Sword Douluo Qi Mu's face was gloomy.

The two Limit Douluos were like two mountains pressing down on everyone's hearts.

"Who knows?" Zhang Peng shrugged.

The group exchanged glances, all looking somewhat tense.

They were just short of saying the word "simp."

But since the opponent was a top expert who was once famous throughout the continent, some face was saved.

"Overthrowing the Holy Spirit Cult is not urgent..." Xu Cheng did have a solution, such as launching a missile loaded with dozens of level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannons. It was tested in the original work, and even a Limit Douluo could not withstand it.

But once launched, it would mean a complete breakdown in the relationship between the two, with no chance of recovery.

If the bomb doesn't kill them, then there's a problem.

Therefore, Xu Cheng's most urgent task is to improve his "hard" strength. Once he has a safety net, it won't be too late to take action...

inside the room.

Five figures in black robes slowly disappeared.

Xu Cheng also began to ponder quietly.

The Holy Spirit Cult is ultimately an insurmountable mountain. For now, they can still use the excuse of "not yet enthroned and with an unstable foundation" to shut Zhongli Wu up, but once he ascends to the throne, it will be unacceptable.

Exhorting the Holy Spirit Church to do good is a task issued by the system, and it is also the first major branch, an inescapable hurdle.

But after years of contact, Xu Cheng had long since abandoned any illusions and was ready for battle.

Transformation? Better to purify.

Just purify all the disobedient ones and leave the obedient ones.

To cleanse the Holy Spirit Church of its filth, it is necessary to use blood to thoroughly cleanse it from the inside out...

"Finally left..."

Tianmeng peeked out from Xu Cheng's collar, her chubby little head looking around curiously.

Then he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Useless, you're a disgrace to our far north." Ice Emperor transformed into a miniature emerald green scorpion, condensing on Xu Cheng's shoulder, its two pincers crossed over its chest, and said with a face full of disdain.

"Hmm, if that guy didn't like to devour the blood of soul beasts, why would I be afraid of him? It's mainly because Xiao Cheng said that when he encounters insect-type soul beasts, he takes out a straw that's... this long, and then shoves it hard into the insect's ass and sucks it up. If you were me, wouldn't you be afraid?"

Tianmeng said indignantly.

Before, it had only encountered a group of 100,000-year-old soul beasts that liked to surround it and absorb its primordial power. At most, that shameless bear always thought of secretly swallowing it when the black dragon was not around.

I never imagined the human world could be so twisted!

“If he likes to eat roasted scorpions, hmph…” Tianmeng glanced sideways at Bingdi.

"He dares!" Hyotei roared in fury.
