Chapter Fifty-Seven: Arriving West

Tumen were still in a state of disconnection, and the remaining two sages of the Kingdom of Light had no choice but to retreat into their own kingdom. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info They didn't dare to host the exchange competition of the mainland academy, mainly for fear that the sages from other countries would come and find out the news that the Tumen had lost contact. On the sensitive issue of the expansion of the Cult of Light, they did not have time to rush too quickly.

Because they are busy right now, busy clearing out the Tumen faction, busy redistributing the vacated benefits. Both of them felt that the time had come, they broke through late, and their strength was lower than that of Tumen, which gave Tumen the opportunity to establish their own faction. But in their hearts, they looked down on Tumen and his faction, because in their eyes, the members of Tumen's faction were from second- and third-rate forces like Tumen, and they couldn't be compared with them at all.

They knew that as long as the Tumen's faction was eliminated this time, the Tumen would no longer be able to form a new faction, and they could only rely on the two of them. At that time, they can make the Tumen their puppets or thugs. As for whether the Tumen will turn their faces after they come back, the two of them are also ready, but if they can't, the two will join forces to get rid of the Tumen.

As the kingdoms of light relaxed their teachings, those kingdoms that had been oppressed by them began to fight back. More and more kingdoms are driving out missionaries sent by the Cult of Light. For those places that have been deeply poisoned by the teachings of the Illuminati religion, they have established their own churches, and the clergy in them are all their own people. And those places that have not been poisoned by the Cult of the Illuminati, they strictly control the spread of the doctrine.

Some kingdoms were even more straightforward, directly following the example of the Inkar Empire, declaring the establishment of a separation of church and state. The church was under the leadership of the imperial court, and the archbishop of the church was appointed by the king. All the actions of the Church must be in the interests of the state. The Temple of Light in the Kingdom of Light shall not interfere with all the actions of the Church in its own country, let alone appoint bishops and clergy belonging to them.

In the face of the fierce wave of counterattacks, the Kingdom of Light actually chose to be silent again, which also surprised many people.

Since the actions of these kingdoms were very much in line with their national conditions, and because the bishops of these countries were themselves appointed by the king, they were very cooperative with the decisions of those kingdoms. Soon the chaos brought about by the spread of the Cult of Light was brought under control, and the situation in these kingdoms began to gradually recover.

However, the good times did not last long, and the church in the Ingkaran Empire began to act.

The Church of the Incalan Empire was completely independent of the Temple of Light, and with the support of the Incalan Empire, they sent a large number of missionaries into the kingdoms bordering the Incalan Empire to begin to propagate their teachings and develop believers.

The Inkaran Empire is much more powerful than the Kingdom of Light. In the face of the missionaries they had sent, those kingdoms did not dare to resist at all, and had to acquiesce in their activities. Some power groups in the kingdom saw this as an opportunity, an opportunity to join the Inkalan Empire and seize greater power. As a result, they turned to support the activities of the Church in the Inkallan Empire, and even took the initiative to help the church carry out missionary activities and develop believers.

The Church of the Incalan Empire accepted these people who took refuge in the Empire, and secretly cultivated them with the support of the Ingkaran Empire to help them usurp greater power. In this way, the kingdoms that had been stable were once again in turmoil.

Regarding the anti-guest-oriented approach of the church in the Inkaran Empire, the Temple of Light is still silent. You must know that if the church of the Ingkaran Empire continues to develop like this, the number of believers in the future will exceed that of the Temple of Light, and its influence will also exceed that of the Temple of Light. Finally, it is even possible to take the place of the Temple of Light.

Faced with the approach of the Temple of Light, everyone was even more puzzled.

The current kingdom of light is like closing its own door, and it doesn't care about the outside world. And it is very difficult for the outside world to infiltrate.

The Inkallan Empire is infiltrating the surrounding countries with the help of the Church. But their top brass is in chaos right now.

The Church of the Ingkaran Empire is actually in the hands of the Imperial Family and the Innazine Family, which are the great power groups of the Empire. After the incident with Shao Kai and his cousin. In order to stabilize the mid-level clergy, they carried out some purges at the top of the church. Some of the nobles with bad deeds represented by Shao Kai were purged of the upper echelons of the church, and some devout followers of the Illuminous God Cult were added.

Most of the so-called bad deeds are from the big power groups of the Empire, and they do not believe in the Cult of the Illuminati, but only regard the Cult of the Illuminati as a tool under their rule, and their interests are closely related to the interests of the Empire. Now that these people have been purged and some devout believers have been added, the church has begun to spiral out of control.

These devout followers of the Cult of the Illuminati have only doctrines in their hearts, and even doctrines are greater than the interests of the Empire. They are supportive and active in matters that are doctrinal or conducive to the development of the church. For example, to propagate doctrines and develop believers in other countries. They were very active and obedient to the Empire's arrangement.

They began to resist and even point fingers at things that were not in line with the doctrine or were not conducive to the development of the church. For example, they were not opposed to wars with orcs, but they were opposed to the Empire's wartime economy. They believed that the empire should give more consideration to the suffering of the people and give priority to closing the gap between the rich and the poor. To this end, it is necessary to abolish the wartime economic policy and readjust the economic structure that has been out of balance.

For example, they oppose the current military service system and propose "one family to keep one ding", that is, one family retains one young laborer. For single-child families, military service is even less necessary. They even suggested that the empire should increase the amount of pensions so that families who had lost their main labor force could live a life of food and clothing. And so on and so forth. Anyway, they were on the side of the grassroots and put forward a whole bunch of reforms to the current policies of the Empire.

Although only a few of these people hold high-level positions in the church, and the vast majority of them are middle-level members of the church, they are the backbone of the church, and they have a high prestige and influence among the people. Their demands were strongly supported by the religious population at the grassroots level.

Faced with this large number of reform opinions, the pro-Illuminati side led by the old Raphael and the Innercy family had a headache. This is because some of the reform ideas have touched the interests of the existing power groups, including theirs.

The opposition, led by the Wang family and the Shaw family, seized the opportunity to attack, pointing out that vigorously promoting the Cult of Light is a cocoon for self-restraint, and the current situation is a proof of this. If the Cult of Light continues to grow its influence, it will inevitably threaten their dominance. Many centrists have begun to side with the opposition and support it.

And the centrists, led by the Kempins family, have not yet made a clear statement, but they have begun to urge the royal family and the Innercy family to quickly come up with ways to protect their vested interests.

Those warriors of the Ingkaran Empire didn't care about the thoughts of the upper echelons at all, and still went their own way, rejecting the Cult of Light from the bottom of their hearts, and conflicts with the clergy occurred from time to time.

In the face of the opposition's counteroffensive, the elder Raphael was exhausted; In the face of the resistance of those warriors, the old Raphael was even more powerless. He didn't know why they had the upper hand and were in a passive situation. And the source of all this seems to be that Shao Kai and his cousin annoyed Sun Xiang. He's hating both of them now.

As for Sun Xiang's actions, the Inkalan Empire has become numb, and the old Rafael still has not relaxed his surveillance.

Sun Xiang took the three girls, under the protection of the guards of the Hill Business Alliance, and actually played in the Inkalan Empire for half a year, and his footprints were almost all over the fifty states of the Inkalan Empire.

During this period, Sun Xiang encountered three assassinations, and the strength of the assassins was above the Great Sword Master. Two assassinations took place at Sun Xiang's station, and one assassination occurred on Sun Xiang's way to visit. Although the three assassinations were carried out by the Assassins alone, they were more threatening than the first attack of more than fifty people. The assassination on the road also caused Sun Xiang to be wounded, but fortunately his life was not in danger.

The three unsuccessful assassinations made Sun Xiang's name even louder. And Sun Xiang did not give up his itinerary, and still traveled around the Inkalan Empire, which made everyone admire his courage.

During his travels, Sun Xiang was very well-behaved and regular. He only went to those cities that were connected by teleportation arrays, and always teleported from one city to another, not giving anyone or force a chance to mobilize a large force to intercept and kill halfway. Sometimes when he has to go to the outskirts of the city, he doesn't go too far from the city.

And every time he goes to a place, he basically does three things, one is to settle in the most upscale hotel, if there is a branch of the Tianmeng, he will live in the branch of the Tianmeng, and if there is a branch of the Hill Business Alliance, he will live in the branch of the Hill Business League. the second is to play, he has to go to the local scenic spots, leaving his footprints everywhere; The third is to go shopping and taste food, take the three girls to go shopping like crazy, go crazy shopping, and don't let go of all the special restaurants.

He was following the rules, but he and the three girls became a landscape. Everywhere they went, the four of them were the focus of local attention, and the real focus was one, that is, Sun Xiang, who fought all over the invincible opponents of the younger generation of the Inkalan Empire, Sun Xiang, who had a strong backer, and Sun Xiang, who was like a local tyrant. Countless girls are crazy for him, and countless warriors want to see the demeanor of this strongest young man.
