Chapter 296 Be prepared for danger in times of peace

Chapter 296 Be prepared for danger in times of peace
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

The health of Prince Yong's youngest son has improved visibly. From being frail before, he can now even leave the small lake where he lives and play in the city. Of course, he has been weak for so many years and lacks strength, so he still needs nourishing medicine.

However, for the royal palace, this is as simple as eating and drinking.

Prince Yong was relieved that his youngest son was fine. He then withdrew his hands and began to study the origin of the martial arts technique.

The first one, of course, is the guest who provided the skills.

However, he is a prince after all, and his emotions are never revealed on his face.

He did not vent his anger directly on the guest official, but instead conducted a secret investigation.

As a result, I didn't know until I checked, and I actually found out something.

Cult.

This is a thing with a long history that accompanies this continent.

Since the establishment of this world, the problem of cults has always been there. After all, this world possesses extraordinary powers, not to mention that the source of these extraordinary powers is the complicated mortal world, which gives more room for those who are interested to take advantage of it.

And this guest official turned out to be a member of a cult.

Moreover, their style of doing things was extremely secretive. If Li Zhongren had not noticed at a glance that there was something wrong with the technique and used the result to infer the cause, and if Prince Yong had not reported it directly to the royal family and mobilized the power of the clan office, it might not have been discovered.

The Imperial Clan Court is a department that specifically manages all matters concerning the royal family. Especially in this extraordinary world, the power of the Imperial Clan Court is quite huge, and it can even curb the imperial power to a certain extent. But the emperor is not worried. After all, the people in the Imperial Clan Court cannot directly influence domestic politics. It is a system that is independent of politics and specifically designed to protect the imperial power.

Prince Yong was a direct descendant of the royal family, so he could naturally apply for the protection of the clan court.

So, the priest thought he had not revealed any flaws, but the clan office still discovered the problem.

Normally, Prince Yong would have nothing to do after this. The clan office has always been committed to eradicating those cults that dared to attack the royal family. However, Li Zhongren had to be involved in this matter. After all, he was the one who exposed the problem, and this was the cause and effect that people wanted.

Therefore, after the final discussion, the Ministry of Clan Affairs took the lead and included Li Zhongren.

"Meet Third Grandpa."

Prince Yong bowed to the old man in front of him.

"Ah."

The old man put his hands behind his back, glanced at Prince Yong's fourth son, and then nodded.

"This method is quite impressive. Although this kid still lacks confidence, his life is no longer in danger. He will live a peaceful life without any major problems."

"Third Grandpa, is there any progress in the investigation of that evil cult?"

"Ah."

The old man didn't hesitate and sat directly on the main seat. After all, he watched these little bastards grow up, including the late emperor and the current emperor. Especially since the late emperor passed away early, the current emperor was raised by him.

"That evil cult is called the Sanyang Cult."

"Sanyang?"

Prince Yong thought about it and seemed to have no impression.

"It's normal that you haven't heard of it. It's a very secretive sect. In their belief, the sun is one yang, the moon is one yang, and the earth beneath our feet is also one yang, so it's called the Three Yangs."

"It's a bit strange. What is their doctrine? Why are they targeting Lele?"

"Doctrine"

The old man stroked his beard.

"According to the investigation, in their belief, the sun created the moon and the earth, which means one gave birth to two, two gave birth to three, and three gave birth to all things. The sun, the moon, and the earth are a trinity. If we change them to Sanyang Zhenjun, I am the only one in the world."

"What a piece of shit."

Hearing this, Prince Yong couldn't help but shook his head.

Because he heard things about Taoism, Buddhism, and some teachings from the Far West. In short, it was a fucking hodgepodge.

"As for their purpose of targeting Lele, it is also very simple. The visualization diagram does have some problems when reversed. However, if the answer is not known, even the clan office will find it difficult to see the problem. If you practice the visualization diagram, you will become a furnace, and the Holy Son of the Sanyang Sect will be born in Lele's body through secret methods."

"Birth?"

"It should be something like an evil god."

The old man explained.

"To put it bluntly, they are just some consciousness entities born under the power of the mortal world. They are artificial creations and are collectively called evil gods."

"I see."

"I came here this time to find the monk you mentioned. He saved Lele, so I will give him a reward. Go and call him over."

"Yes, Third Grandpa."

"I've met senior."

Li Zhongren bowed to the old man in front of him. This old man was also a cultivator, and his strength was quite impressive.

"You're welcome, fellow Taoist."

The old man was not arrogant, because in his perception, the man opposite was very young, even vigorous, and obviously not the reincarnation of an old monster. At this age, with such cultivation and vision, he would be a person who could stir up the world in the future. Naturally, there was no need for him to make enemies.

"I won't waste my time talking nonsense. We have discovered the headquarters of the Sanyang Cult and are planning to launch a siege against it. Do you have any preparations?"

"No, I can leave at any time."

"Then come with me."

On the way, the old man recounted the incident in detail. Even though the Sanyang Sect acted secretly, it still couldn't escape the investigation of the clan office. After all, it was just a cult, and it was facing the state machinery, and it was a sneak attack.

"However, according to our investigation, that may not be the only base. This kind of cult usually has several backup bases. However, the longer the night, the more dreams there are. As long as there are people in the cult, it is impossible to completely deal with it. Especially with our investigation, we don't know when they will be alerted. Therefore, we can only arrest the headquarters and then slowly unravel the mystery. Anyway, if we destroy the headquarters, it is unknown how long it will take for them to grow again."

"Understand, how big is this cult?"

"There are about a thousand people in the headquarters, and their strength is acceptable. When the time comes, the clan office will kill most of the people below for you, and the leader will be left to you."

"Thank you, senior."

Luoxia Mountain.

This is the location of the Sanyang Sect’s main altar.

Hidden deep underground.

They didn't know they had been exposed and continued to work hard.

What are you busy with?

The Son of God is coming.

The normal plan was that they targeted Prince Yong's youngest son, but the plan was ruined by that damned Wanli Duxing Bat. They even sent people to look for him, but Wanli Duxing Bat seemed to have evaporated from the face of the earth, leaving no trace.

In desperation, they could only give up this plan temporarily. After all, if you found two copies of such a precious visualization map at once, anyone would know that there was something wrong. In desperation, the leader of the Sanyang Sect decided to activate the backup plan.

blood sacrifice.

The so-called Son of God is actually what the old man in the clan office called an artificial life, which is defined as an evil god.

In fact, it has no self, it is more like a program.

But it has many magical abilities.

In this world, the measure of whether a cult is a legitimate cult is whether you have mastered your own evil god.

The birth of an evil god is not easy. In many cases, the right time, right place and right people are all essential.

Just like Prince Yong’s youngest son, his so-called lack of talent was something they did deliberately. This was a long-term plan.

But it was broken by an accident.

Fortunately, the leader of the Sanyang Sect realized this problem at the earliest time, that is, the longer, more complex, and more sophisticated a plan is, the more likely it is to go wrong, and once problems occur, it will be difficult to recover.

Therefore, at the very beginning, he foresaw what unexpected events might occur in his visualization diagram.

So, there was the blood sacrifice as a backup plan.

Who should be sacrificed in blood?
Naturally, it is a blood sacrifice to the Three Yang True Lord.

The blood of nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine boys and girls was used to sacrifice the holy object to catalyze the soul of True Lord Sanyang, and then through secret methods, it was directly reincarnated into Ji Le's body, because the secret method of Sanyang Sect was planted in Ji Le when he was born.

And there is absolutely no way this secret method can be discovered because it is the core of the Sanyang Sect.

Father, mother, and son are one.
In order to trigger this secret method and allow the Three Yang True Lords to reincarnate successfully, the three of them need to be connected by blood. But under normal circumstances, which parent would cut their wounds and stick close to their child?

However, nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine boys and girls is not a small number. It is not easy to collect them all without being discovered by the Darong Dynasty. But, now that things have come to this, they can only move forward little by little.

"Why do you feel a little uneasy today?"

At the core of the Sanyang Sect, Sect Leader Luo Sanyang was feeling a little uneasy.

He was originally a scholar, but after failing the imperial examination, he joined a cult in anger. Later, due to various coincidences, after absorbing the teachings of many sects, he founded the Sanyang Sect. However, he acted with forbearance, and the Sanyang Sect has been developing in a low-key manner over the years.

He wanted to soar into the sky. Once he controlled the evil god, he would have a foothold in this world.

He could even gain immortality with the help of the evil god.

Of course, this kind of longevity is not true immortality, but is based on the premise of constantly providing for the evil gods.

But even so, it could allow him to live for a very long time.

However, a sudden accident disrupted his plan.

Today, he was inexplicably restless again. In essence, the sects were all deceiving people. He was a monk, and monks must take restlessness seriously. The only explanation for him being restless at this stage was that this might have exposed something.
"call"

Thinking of this, Luo Sanyang took a deep breath and came to the blood pool.

In the blood pool, there was a statue soaked. It looked like a Taoist master, but with three heads and six arms. It was none other than True Lord Sanyang.

The evil god is staying in the statue, absorbing its essence and blood.

If this statue were moved now, it could be said that everything would have to start from scratch.

However, Luo Sanyang hesitated for a moment, and with a ruthless heart, he used the secret method. After a shake, a bloody shadow entered his body, and the statues fell to the ground with a scratching sound. A secret passage appeared under the blood pool.

He went straight in.

Yes, he gave up on this place.

Although this is the result of his twenty years of hard work, his life is ultimately more important.

However, he would not just let it go.

After this incident is over, he must find out how he leaked it.
"He is a vigilant man."

However, Luo Sanyang didn't know that all his actions were seen by the clan affairs office.

"The cicadas are chirping before the autumn wind blows. Luo Sanyang is quite capable. Ordinary cultivators don't have such intuition as him."

"Maybe it's a hint from the evil god?"

At the side, Li Zhongren looked at his reflection in the water that looked like a surveillance camera and spoke.

"That's possible. The evil god's abilities are ever-changing. However, since he has escaped, I'll leave it to you."

"Thank you, senior."

After saying that, Li Zhongren disappeared from the spot in a flash, and under the control of silk, he chased after him rapidly.

"Master, this boy is not simple either."

A middle-aged man on the side spoke.

"If I'm not mistaken, he has already mastered the Golden Silkworm Technique to perfection. The silkworm silk can even solidify the void!"

"Well, so, there are two possibilities."

The old man silently watched Li Zhongren's receding figure.

"First, he is a genius who can learn things quickly. Not only did he learn the Golden Silkworm Skill in just half a month, he even cultivated it to perfection."

"Secondly, he is actually a member of the Sanyang Sect. After the Sanyang Sect's skills were stolen, they sent him out to get close to Lele."

"Of course, now that we have the Haotian Mirror to see all this, it can be proved that he should not be a member of the Sanyang Sect. However, a genius who can learn things quickly may not be a good thing for the Darong Dynasty."

"What do you mean, old man?"

"The power of the mortal world is the biggest barrier to stop cultivators from attacking the imperial court. However, as time goes by, this barrier is constantly shrinking. After all, the power of the mortal world is there, but generation after generation of amazing and determined cultivators are constantly looking for ways to break this barrier."

"They may not necessarily want to overthrow the Darong Dynasty, but they just don't want to be restrained by the power of the mortal world."

"And the facts also prove that nowadays, many sects have more or less mastered some methods and means to temporarily prevent the power of the mortal world from taking effect. But when that day really comes, the Darong Dynasty will be nothing more than wealth that they can grab at will in their eyes."

"And such a genius will undoubtedly speed up this pace."

"You want to kill him?"

"Haha, is it useful?"

The old man looked at his nephew.

"The talented people in the world are like carp crossing the river. Can you kill them all? And the more you kill now, the greater the backlash will be when the day comes. My idea is that people should be prepared for danger in times of peace. Since everyone is doing research, we should do it too."

"Therefore, I have always planned to establish a brand new organization within the Zongrenfu that specializes in studying the power of the mortal world. Since this day is destined to come, then our Darong Dynasty must take the initiative. It's just that before, there was no such talent in the Zongrenfu."

"But is he trustworthy?"
