Shao Xin doesn't like fighting or power, he likes freedom. It's okay for him to join other academies, but he doesn't want to join other big forces. If he really cares about those powers, with his identity as a food-based soul saint and a clean identity, he has no enemies. As long as he is loyal, even the extreme Yin-Yang Leopard Clan will not refuse.
Yu Xiaogang naturally refused to agree to this. He had no soul power, and Canghui College didn't care about his theory. He couldn't enjoy the luxury of food and clothing wherever he went. The only way to get a good job was to let all Shrek members join the Eastern Divine Religion. "Teacher Shao Xin, didn't you hear what I said just now? Just joining Canghui College without getting much support from the Eastern Divine Religion is a complete waste of students' talents... Look at Tianshui College, it's different,"
Shao Xin interrupted Yu Xiaogang angrily, "Stop, shut up. Don't mention Tianshui College to me. Can Tianshui College be the same as what you said? Tianshui College is subordinate to the extreme Yin-Yang Leopard Clan. The Shui family is still one of the leaders of the college and has a lot of autonomy. Tianshui College still exists!"
"Also, Shui Bing'er, the young patriarch of the Shui family, married the young patriarch of the extreme Yin-Yang Leopard Clan. What is the connection between us Shrek and the Eastern Divine Religion? Could it be that you, Yu Xiaogang, are planning to dress up as a woman and marry an Eastern Ninja Ghost? It's hilarious!"
"And if we do as you say? Shrek Academy will be disbanded and cease to exist. Not only will we teachers have to work for others, but we will also get nothing in return. If I really wanted to join a big force, I would have joined long ago and would not have stayed in this small village as a cook."
Shao Xin turned and left. Ever since Yu Xiaogang came, Shrek Academy had changed. It was no longer what he had imagined. He no longer felt at home here.
"You can go if you want, but I, Shao Xin, will not go. I am old and my soul power is exhausted. I just want to live a free life. I am leaving."
Shao Xin left resolutely, and finally turned his head to look at Flanders deeply, "Dean Flanders, we are old partners. I have been in Shrek Academy for more than ten years, watching him grow up little by little. You... Well, you should take care of yourself! Let me remind you one last thing, don't be deceived by villains."
"Old Shao, Old Shao, you," Flanders looked at Shao Xin's departing back, hesitant to speak.
"I have something to announce. I, Ning Rongrong, am officially withdrawing from Shrek Academy. From now on, I will have no contact with you. Flanders, the rest of the gold soul coins my father gave you are for you."
Ning Rongrong also stood up and left. She had already chosen where to go next.
As for following Shrek Academy to join the Eastern Divine Religion, don't be ridiculous. Not to mention that she now feels sick when she sees Tang San and the others; the most important thing is that it is not a joke for her, Ning Rongrong, to join the Eastern Divine Religion!
How could she, the heir of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, join another powerful faction? Putting aside the issue of face, if she went to the Eastern Divine Religion, she would be placed under house arrest and detained on the spot, and her life would be in danger. By then, Ning Fengzhi would not be able to redeem her no matter how much money she spent.
In the end, of the six teachers, Shao Xin, Li Yusong, and Wuming Luopan Soul Emperor chose to leave, leaving only Yu Xiaogang, Flanders, and Zhao Wuji. As for Zhao Wuji, he was a wanted criminal himself, and joining Shrek was to find a refuge. For him, changing to a larger refuge was not bad.
Among the seven students, four, Tang San, Dai Mubai, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun, were unconscious, and only Zhang Hongruo chose to stay.
Zhu Zhuqing reluctantly agreed, thinking, "Dai Mubai is obviously useless now. There is absolutely no hope. If I want to survive, I must find another way. Perhaps, joining the Eastern Divine Religion is not a bad idea!"
"I heard that the young leader of the Eastern Divine Religion, Dongfang Rengui, is a lecher. With my talent, status, and appearance, it will be easy for him to value me. At that time, I can keep my true identity secret and give some face to the Dai family. I can just say that Zhu Zhuqing died unexpectedly. The Xingluo Empire will not put much pressure on the Eastern Divine Religion for this matter. It will be no problem for the Eastern Divine Religion to save my life."
"I don't care if Dai Mubai flirts with other women after he saw me; I don't care if he has homosexual relationships with people like Ma Hongjun. There are many such things among aristocratic families. But what he shouldn't do is to practice hard! He fishes for three days and rests for two days, and doesn't care about my life or death at all."
"Since you, Dai Mubai, are so unkind, don't blame me, Zhu Zhuqing, for being unjust. Then you, Dai Mubai, will have to call me Madam Young Master. I can torture you however I want!"
"I can even go all the way and find a way to become Dongfang Aoxie's woman directly. Then, hahahaha!"
Zhu Zhuqing is now completely disappointed with Dai Mubai and has lost confidence in life. Apart from trying to save her life and torturing Dai Mubai, she also wants to become stronger and control her own destiny!
"Okay! Since everyone has made the decision, let's set off directly to the Eastern Divine Religion. After all, the treatment of Xiaosan, Hongjun and the other four's strange illnesses can't be delayed any longer." Yu Xiaogang was very angry about the departure of Shao Xin, Li Yusong and others, because it meant that the benefits he, Yu Xiaogang, would get would be severely reduced.
A few hours later, Flanders and the others brought Tang San and the other patients to the Eastern Divine Religion. Because the Eastern Divine Religion's base camp in the outside world was expanded based on the Canghui Academy in Soto City, and it was not far from Shrek Academy.
After Dongfang Aoxie became the state teacher of the Barak Kingdom and the Eastern Divine Religion became the state religion of the Barak Kingdom, they infiltrated extensively. They had originally agreed with King Barak to divide the kingdom equally, but now the Barak Kingdom is completely controlled by the Eastern Divine Religion, and deposing the king is just a matter of a word.
The current Soto City has developed into a city second only to Jidao Yinyang Leopard City, Tiandou City, Xingluo City, Wuhun City and other cities. It can be ranked in the top ten in the entire Douluo Continent, far surpassing the capital of the Barak Kingdom.
……
Inside the main hall of the Eastern Divine Religion.
"Father, Shrek Academy has come to our family, what should we do next?" Dongfang Rengui rubbed his hands and asked impatiently. He had heard from his father that Tang San had become a father-in-law and was fighting with Yu Xiaogang and Ma Hongjun every day, so he wanted to get involved.
The Eastern Ninja Ghost wanted to go in whenever he saw a hole. He usually played around with all kinds of things, such as lizards and goats. He hated Tang San and wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible. Why did the Black Demon God choose Tang San and let the Eastern God Cult support Tang San? Go and be a ghost! He, the Eastern Ninja Ghost, was going to crush Tang San.
"Xie'er, don't be anxious. Lord Black Demon has left us a divine decree, asking us to fully assist Tang San. Only when Tang San fails to live up to expectations can we replace him, and Lord Black Demon will give us the benefits given to Tang San. Therefore, we must pretend to attach great importance to Tang San in the early stage, and then secretly and slowly completely destroy him, and then we can..."
It turns out that Tang San was infected with an advanced version of plum poison. Tang San already had this disease, and Dongfang Aoxie used the magic energy left in his body to stimulate it, which caused the current strange disease. Dongfang Aoxie wanted to further destroy Tang San and then replace him.
Tang San also passed it on to Dai Mubai and the other two. Yu Xiaogang had been bedridden recently, and luckily escaped the disaster.
"Father, let me go meet Shrek and the others!" Dongfang Aoxie volunteered.
"Okay, this is a good opportunity to train your ability to handle things."
……
"Guests from Shrek Academy, the Young Master wants you in."
"Thank you, Special Envoy."
Dongfang Rengui looked at the Shrek teachers and students below the stage, first staring at Zhu Zhuqing and Zhang Hongruo with lustful eyes, and then turned his gaze to Tang San. He had no shortage of beautiful women, and compared to these, Tang San could arouse his excitement more, and he wanted to trample her hard under his feet.
"I am Flanders, my martial soul is Cat Owl, and I am a level 78, seventh-ring combat soul saint in the agility attack department. Nice to meet you, sir!" Flanders hugged his shoulders, bent over 90 degrees, and looked very humble.
At this time, Flanders could not be arrogant. Although the opponent's soul power was not as high as his and he was younger than him, his status and position were much higher than his. He was in the opponent's base camp with two soul douluos standing beside him. He dared not provoke him, and he even needed the opponent's help.
Yu Xiaogang and others also learned to perform the salute in an imitative manner.
When Zhu Zhuqing introduced her martial spirit, name, and talent, Dongfang Ninja Ghost's eyes showed no emotion. Obviously, Dongfang Ninja Ghost had already found out the identities of Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai.
"Well, that's good. Everyone, get up! I already know your purpose. The two Battle Soul Saints are quite powerful, and the students are also talented. Regarding your request, I agree to allow you to join the Eastern Divine Religion."
Dongfang Rengui had already assigned everyone in his mind: Tang San would naturally be dealt with properly, and Zhu Zhuqing and Zhang Hongruo would be taken in as his women; Dai Mubai would be tied up and blackmailed and humiliated the Star Luo Empire; although Yu Xiaogang was useless, he was the son of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect's leader after all, so he would be perfect to use him to disgust the other party; as for the rest, they would all be treated as cannon fodder.
"Thank you for your gift, Young Master. I, Yu Xiaogang, will swear allegiance to you until death!" Before Flanders could say anything, Yu Xiaogang jumped out to express his loyalty.
The Eastern Ninja Ghost didn't even look at Yu Xiaogang, treating him as a piece of air.
The air around was very quiet. Yu Xiaogang saw that no one paid attention to him and realized that he was just a clown at the moment. He retreated with a red face. Things were completely different from what he thought.
People like Flanders also hurried to express their loyalty.
"Don't be in a hurry to show your loyalty. I have conditions." Dongfang Ninja Ghost smiled sinisterly.
This time it's real
I'm asking for a leave. This is really the last time I'm asking for a leave in the next two months. Because I don't have enough points, I can't exchange it for a leave application.
Chapter 146: The Hypocritical Eastern Religion, the Suffering of Shrek and Others
encounter
Flanders and the others were terrified, they never expected that even though they had joined the Eastern Divine Religion and were working for them, the Eastern Divine Religion still had conditions for rescuing Tang San and the others.
"Don't be nervous, the conditions are not strict, they are very relaxed." Dongfang Ninja Ghost suddenly changed his face and looked like a gentleman.
He said righteously: "The purpose of our Eastern Divine Religion is to eliminate all evil on the Douluo Continent and turn it into a paradise on earth led by the Eastern Divine Religion."
"But you should also understand that the strange diseases of Tang San and the other four are very difficult to treat. They have never appeared before. To treat them, not only does Elder Langya need to expend a lot of energy, but also a lot of manpower, material resources, and financial resources to develop an antidote. After that, a large amount of precious medicine is needed for subsequent rehabilitation, so that there will be no sequelae and their talents will not be depleted." (The Holy Religion is the self-proclaimed name of the Eastern Divine Religion)
"There are too many evil forces and too many suffering civilians on the Douluo Continent. All of them need our Holy Church to save them. The resources of the Holy Church are also very tight. Every gold soul coin of the Holy Church must be used to liberate the Douluo Continent! Therefore, my request to you is very simple. If you want to be rescued, you must strictly abide by and practice the teachings of the Eastern Divine Church and make your greatest contribution to the Holy Church!"
"Yes! I will strictly abide by and practice the teachings of the Holy Church and fight for the Eastern Divine Religion all my life!" Flanders was very ashamed. He felt that he was fooled by his own standards, but he never thought about conducting in-depth field investigations, nor did he think that the other party would tell the truth.
"Okay! Then you can go back and have a rest. Later, the relevant staff will arrange your future tasks and explain your treatment and obligations. Go to the [Holy Church Spring] for baptism tomorrow. You don't need to worry about Tang San and others' strange diseases. The Holy Church can guarantee to cure them."
Dongfang Rengui waved his hand and asked the other party to retreat. Anyway, except for Zhu Zhuqing and Zhang Hongruo, the two women he planned to accept, Dongfang Rengui would get rid of the rest of the people from Shrek Academy sooner or later, so he was too lazy to waste time to personally arrange for the people from Shrek Academy.
On the surface, the Holy Spring is a treasure land for new disciples of the Eastern Divine Religion to cleanse all filth and strengthen their bodies. In reality, it amplifies the evil in people's hearts and induces them to form demonic energy. After completing this step, one will be half an evil soul master and can become a yellow-level follower of the Eastern Divine Religion.
The demonic energy continued to accumulate, and finally the demon seed was planted by the leader Dongfang Aoxie himself. When the demonic energy and the demon seed merged, he became a Xuan-level believer of the Eastern Divine Religion, and he was completely transformed from a normal soul master to an evil soul master.
After becoming an evil soul master, one can no longer practice normally and can only rely on absorbing the soul power and vitality of living beings.
They will be like being controlled by the mind, mindlessly believing in the Black Devil, and being controlled by Dongfang Aoxie. Unless they encounter Zhuang Xingyu's Hongmeng Merit Domain, they will never reveal that the Eastern God Cult is an evil soul master. The complete version of the Angel Realm of the Angel Lineage may also achieve this effect.
Like most cults, the Eastern God Church calls itself a holy religion, claiming to be righteous and believing that all other forces are evil.
They often direct and perform some tricks by themselves, such as poisoning the outside world and then pretending to provide free rescue, pretending to be saving people from suffering and dedicating themselves to the common people.
It seems like free rescue, the losses are huge, but in fact it is a huge profit.
First of all, the poison used by the Eastern Divine Cult is from the "Ten Thousand Poisons Sutra" passed down by the Black Demon God. Not to mention the Douluo Continent, even if the God Realm wants to develop an antidote it will take a lot of time. They are completely on two different tracks and everything needs to start over.
These poisons are poisons to the people of Douluo Continent, but they are nutrients to evil soul masters. They only need to absorb them and just give them some so-called "precious antidotes" to pretend, and the cost is zero.
Secondly, the Eastern Divine Religion will not save everyone, but at most 5% of the people. If no one died, others would not be able to feel the severity of the disaster, and would not have a deep sense of gratitude towards the Eastern Divine Religion.
What about the 95% of people who died? Their land, houses, materials and other wealth all went into the pockets of the Eastern God Cult. The Eastern God Cult did almost nothing, but just pretended to reap 95% of the wealth in the poisoned area.
The deputy chief of the Eastern Divine Religion arranged for Flanders and his friends to join the religion. "Everyone, welcome to join the Eastern Divine Religion. A bright and glorious future awaits you. You will be glad that you joined the Eastern Divine Religion. This is the best choice in your life."
"Let me introduce myself first. I am Dongfang Aoto, the deputy chief steward of the Eastern Divine Religion. I am a level 83, eight-ringed combat soul master. I am responsible for handling matters below the Soul Douluo level in the sect, as well as some personnel appointments and dismissals. You can call me Aoto, the Heavenly Elder, or you can call me Chief Steward Tuo. Next, I will lead you to integrate into the Eastern Divine Religion faster."
Dongfang Aoto first cleared his throat, then clasped his hands together and faced the direction of the Master's Hall, and then he solemnly narrated:
"First, let's talk about the Holy Church's canons. Time is limited, so I will just focus on the key points. The complete version of the canons is in the Holy Church's Believer's Handbook. You must memorize them within seven days. You must be absolutely loyal to the Eastern Divine Church, to the great leader, and be ready to sacrifice everything for the Holy Church at any time and anywhere!"
"You must always be vigilant. Our current happy life is all given to us by the leader. Without the great leader carrying the burden for us, how can we have the peaceful life today? Without the great leader sweeping away the evil, how can we have the prosperous era of the Kingdom of Barak today..."
"The members of the church are divided into four categories: Saint Veins, Elders, Protectors, and Believers. Saint Veins are held by the direct lineage of the Church Master, Young Master, etc. Elders can only be held by those who have the inherited martial spirit of the Church and must be strong soul douluo or above. Protectors are held by foreign soul masters who join later and their soul power must be above Soul Emperor. In addition, there are a large number of menial servants who are responsible for helping the saints deal with matters so that everyone can devote themselves to cultivation."
"The Holy Vein is supreme. He is the Holy Religion's greatest leader, the greatest pioneer, the greatest promoter, and the greatest guardian! In addition, there are three categories: elders, protectors, and believers. Each category is further divided into four levels: heaven, earth, black, and yellow. They are divided according to your loyalty, contribution, age, and talent."
"Then, you will go to the Holy Church Spring for baptism. After you pass, you will all be incorporated into the Yellow Level disciples. If you can pass the assessment tailored for you by the church within half a year, Flanders and Zhao Wuji will be promoted to Xuan Level guardians, and Tang San, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Oscar, Zhang Hongruo, and Zhu Zhuqing will be promoted to Xuan Level disciples."
"You can also participate in higher-level assessments later. After passing the assessments, you can be promoted to earth-level, or even heaven-level believers or guardians, and you will receive more benefits."
"And the most important point is that everyone in the church must complete the tasks set by the Holy Church every once in a while. If they fail to complete the tasks twice in a row, they will be demoted to a lower level. If they fail to complete the tasks three times in a row or fail the tasks more than three times within two years, their soul power will be abolished and they will be expelled from the Holy Church! Because the Holy Church wants to save those who can make contributions to the human race, not those who eat for free and seek pleasure! Do you understand?" Dongfang Otto said seriously.
"Understood!" Flanders and others responded quickly.
"Deputy Manager Tuo, what about me, what about me?" Yu Xiaogang jumped out and asked in disbelief. He didn't hear what the arrangement for him was from beginning to end. He didn't understand why after changing to a new environment, a genius like him still hadn't been discovered.
"You, who are you? Some random person who sneaked in?" Dongfang Otto had always looked down on clowns like Yu Xiaogang. Now Yu Xiaogang actually called himself the deputy general manager. He hated being called "deputy general manager" the most. Naturally, he would not be in a good mood towards Yu Xiaogang.
"Me! Don't you recognize me? I am Yu Xiaogang, the master of Douluo Continent who is invincible in theory! You should have heard of me! You know the book "The Ten Core Competitiveness of Wuhun", right? It was researched by me!"
"Not only can I help you teach believers how to practice, I know everything else. I am an all-round talent! You can hire me as the think tank of the Holy Church, and I will formulate the development plan of the Holy Church. As long as you do as I say, within ten years, the Holy Church will become the strongest force in the entire continent!" Yu Xiaogang boasted about his personal value shamelessly.
"You bastard! How dare you teach me how to do things!" Dongfang Aoto's face turned dark, and he looked more and more disgusting. He directly rolled up a soul power and blasted Yu Xiaogang away.
Yu Xiaogang's limbs were shattered again. He vomited blood and then fainted. This was the nth time he had suffered such an injury. It would definitely leave him with many sequelae and he would have to be confined to a wheelchair in the future.
"Where did you get this idiot? You are just lowering the IQ of the Eastern Divine Religion by standing here. How dare you, a loser without any soul power, teach the followers of the Holy Religion! You even want to be the think tank of the Holy Religion. What a joke! You are just a mentally retarded person!"
Dongfang Aoto didn't kill Yu Xiaogang directly, but only beat him half to death. He also knew Yu Xiaogang's identity. He was Yu Yuanzhen's second son and there was still a lot of value that could be exploited. It would be a pity to kill him directly.
“Flanders, are all of you at Shrek Academy like this? That wasn’t how you introduced yourselves when you requested to join my Holy Church. If that’s really the case, I, the steward, will write to the young leader and the others to have your soul powers revoked and you expelled from the Holy Church!” Dongfang Alto’s soul power surged, and the level 83 soul power pressed towards Flanders and the others.
Flanders hurried forward to explain, and secretly handed a storage soul guide to Dongfang Aoto, "Elder Aoto, please calm down, calm down. Yu Xiaogang's soul power was destroyed a few years ago, and he can't accept stimulation. His brain is sometimes a little crazy, and he often says nonsense. Don't lower your status to a fool like him and spare his life!"
Dongfang Aoto used his soul power to investigate and found 35 gold soul coins. His expression returned to normal. "Forget it. Since you, Flanders, are sincere in joining the Holy Church, I will let you go this time. Remember, this is the first and last time. If you do it again in the future, you will be severely punished!"
"The Holy Church does not support idlers. Since Yu Xiaogang wants to stay in the Holy Church, he must work. Starting tomorrow, Yu Xiaogang will be responsible for cleaning the toilets in the Holy Church's chores area. If he dares not clean them well, he will eat the food. Ah Xuan, write down Yu Xiaogang's position." Dongfang Aoto ordered a believer who was responsible for recording personnel appointments and dismissals. Then Yu Xiaogang was dragged to the chores area like a dead dog.
When you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. Flanders could only flatter and fawn, "Thank you, Manager Tuo, for your care. I am very grateful. I will keep a close eye on Yu Xiaogang and will never let him make mistakes again. I will also supervise him to complete his work."
This is why Flanders was unwilling to join a big force before. He was free outside before and could do whatever he wanted as long as he didn't touch the beards of the big forces.
And now, he had only been in the Eastern Divine Religion for a day, and he had already kneeled before more people than in the previous ten years. Not only did he not get any benefit, but he also lost all his wealth. The 35 gold soul coins were the money that Flanders got from selling Shrek Academy, the shops in Soto City, Ning Fengzhi’s reward, and his own accumulation of half a lifetime! In an instant, it was all gone, and the only soul guide was gone.
