NOVEL NEXT Chapter 572: The Cult I Endorse
[Evil Cult]
Ten minutes later, or perhaps even less, Ji Jue's response had spread throughout the entire Tower City, reaching the ears of every bystander and involved party.
In the sudden silence, everyone was dumbstruck.
Then there was overwhelming laughter, some controlling it, and others erupting in uncontrolled rage, stomping and cursing...
The once silent communications grew lively again. In the nighttime, the silent Tower City was like an underground cauldron boiling away.
And everyone began to worry—was this brief silence the last calm before the storm arrived?
No matter how intense the overt struggles and covert battles had been, how sinister and terrifying the conspiracies and plots... when these four words came out of Ji Jue's mouth, the rules of the game ushered in the most thorough change!
At this moment, no one knew how filthy the curses were, with many wishing they could storm into the police station, grab Ji Jue by the collar as he sat legs crossed sipping coffee, and demand:
What the hell are you trying to do!
Dabbling in something so deadly, do you have a death wish? If you want to die, go ahead, but why drag everyone down with you, ruining it for everyone?!
It's because of the Evil Cult's intimidating power, or perhaps... its nauseating extent.
It's the pinnacle of disaster, a version's answer.
Even the largest illegal organizations of the present couldn't compare; they were just scattered forces, fighting their own battles, mere weaklings. But after Lu Changsheng rose to power, he secretly devised something to shock everyone.
The scattered forces were brought together, united with other Great Evil organizations, engaging in a head-on battle with Tian Yuan in Spring City, and even introduced a 'Turning Evil into Virtue' program and advanced Great Evil guiding ideology.
Unveiling the so-called order's facade, he reversed and set the stage for chaos, spreading endless poison!
And when everyone thought he was struck down by the Federation, this bastard re-emerged, with even the Heavenly Governor unable to kill him. He brazenly seized the Heirloom Seal in front of the world and refined it instantly.
Not to mention, the intensified declarations and announcements.
Since then, the Evil Cult was elevated to a bona fide threat to the present world!
The most terrifying thing is, recounting Lu Changsheng's past actions, one would realize—this guy never did anything without reason!
His actions were always interconnected, progression by progression, often a seemingly trivial move would turn the tide ten steps later, determining the outcome...
The relentless hunt by every organization for the Evil Cult, in search of Lu Changsheng, largely stems from this reason.
Anyone could take the Heirloom Seal.
Even if the Federation or Empire seized it, at most it would mean more intense exploitation and plunder, with everyone behind picking up some leftovers.
But if Lu Changsheng took it, who knows what he could do!
No doubt, with huge families and empires, there's real fear that one day, while eating hotpot and singing songs, Lu Changsheng would strike, and who would they turn to for justice then?
Yet, despite capturing countless minions and cronies, not a single trace of Lu Changsheng was found.
Though the Evil Cult is severely weakened and doesn't dare show itself, its threat level continues to rise, leaving everyone wondering what a scheming, ambitious figure wielding the Heirloom Seal and lurking in the shadows might do!
During the initial search for the Evil Cult, the entire present world was nearly turned upside down!
Central Earth was a key area, and Tower City was no exception.
Countless people died without graves in this brutal search, with spills of blood nearly staining the wilderness red.
Even among the highest ranks, there were those who perished in the most tragic, miserable, and heinous ways.
After all, while they might not have had the nerve to catch Lu Changsheng, the idea to eliminate competitors and enemies ran rampant. Any large-scale investigation and purge, once out of control, inevitably leads to nightmarish consequences.
Too much suffering had already been endured.
Now learning that some ignorant young person dared to touch the red line and wanted to restart a witch hunt, everyone felt like they had touched a live wire, instantly seeing darkness before their eyes!
Even Mudahka, who was pushed forward to compete against Ji Jue, was equally dumbfounded, unable to comprehend: it was like stepping into the ring, having only attempted a feigned punch, when the opponent suddenly pulled out a grenade from a four-dimensional pocket...
What the hell are you thinking, brother!
Wasn't it just blowing up one of your offices? You just lit the fire over this, are you crazy!
Yet, even so, everyone had to admit, this was indeed a good move in a certain sense—not only breaking free from a passive situation and the constraints of the rules but also opening up a new battlefield.
Your swamp is so terrifying, so I've decided to pour manure into it, are you ready?
Damn it, that's insane!
But similarly, playing in the dirt has a price.
Such a nauseating thing, everyone fears it, and equally, everyone is annoyed by it.
One wrong move and you might be utterly crushed under the wrath of the masses!
