Chapter 8 Missteps
There are all the believers in the mines, farmers and peddlers, commoners, prostitutes, businessmen and scholars, military officers and politicians...... It is found at all levels of society, almost everywhere. In fact, the number of cultists that Akatsuki has developed in the Silver Snow Region is probably far more than that, but fanatical believers who have been in the church for more than one year and have made enough contributions to the church and have been completely brainwashed are eligible to participate. With the dull sound of bells, the men came out of the caves in all directions.
Yan Wushuang and Mu Yun also walked out, their expressions had been very complicated since just now, always lowering their heads, as if they were pondering something.
Mu Yun walked up to Yan Wushuang and asked, "Lord Apostle, are you ......?"
Yan Wushuang raised his head and glanced at him lightly: "It's none of your business." Speaking of this, she suddenly strengthened her tone: "What I just told you, don't leak it out, otherwise you ......"
Mu Yun arched his hand: "Don't dare to do it." β
"Stand down. β
"Yes!"
Letting Yan Wushuang rebel away from the Red Moon Church is by no means a task that can be accomplished in a few words. Mu Yun didn't rush it, otherwise it would be inappropriate, Yan Wushuang was the only one among the Red Moon Apostles who could be used, if something went wrong, the loss would be too great.
When the congregations are lined up in front of the altar, the ritual begins.
The sacrifices are mainly elixirs, spirit stones, and creatures, among which the living sacrifice is loved by the demons, and the high-level demons not only draw some knowledge and power from the sacrifices, but also taste the delicious soul, which is the best food for the demons. In the process of sacrifice, demons can also reward believers with knowledge and strength, no matter how poor the believer's talent, this method can improve his strength.
The temptation of power is irresistible.
Therefore, the Akatsuki Church is not worried about having no believers.
The criteria for the development of new members in the church are very strict, usually they are introduced by old believers, and then after review, if they meet the standards, they will eventually be branded, and the believer will be able to build his own altar to worship demons. Whenever the demon is sacrificed, don't forget to give the sacrifice a little sweetness.
This is the main reason why the Akatsuki Church is strongly rejected by all ethnic groups, the growth and expansion of the Akatsuki Church and the Akatsuki believers must be built on the basis of killing countless living beings, the Akatsuki Church is like a locust raging in the field, the fatter the locusts grow, the more serious the plague will become.
Mu Yun stood among the many disciples, and saw with his own eyes that batches of spar elixirs were moved out, and finally sent to the altar, and the treasures on the eight altars were piled up into eight hills. It's hard to imagine how Akatsuki was able to scavenge so many resources.
The sacrificial ceremony begins.
Thousands of disciples prostrate on the ground, praying very sincerely, Mu Yun didn't like to lie on the ground like a toad, but now is not the time to stand out from the crowd, so he had to lie on the ground and pray, the entire mine became silent, and the fanatical Akatsuki disciples were praying sincerely.
The eight altars were shining brightly, and the mountains of treasures were melting at an incredible rate like the melting snow of the spring sun, like some invisible monster devouring the sacrifices.
Countless treasures released different energies, and the eight altars seemed to be incarnated into eight giant whales, as if the giant whales were absorbing water, and they swallowed all the energy in an instant. The altar shook violently, and the entire mine shook, Mu Yun lay on the ground a little worried, this force seemed to be a little too strong, and it would cause the mine to collapse. However, this fear did not last long, and the eight altars suddenly erupted like volcanoes, and a thick black mist erupted.
The black fog spreads very quickly.
Almost instantly, the entire cavern was swept by a bangβa generous gift from the owner!
Countless disciples cheered, their faces hideous, like wild dogs in heat, shouting and screaming, this power soaked their bodies, and was sucked into their bodies through demon marks, allowing their strength to grow rapidly.
Faced with this situation, Mu Yun had to accept the strength head-on.
The altar devoured the materials worth hundreds of thousands of gold coins, and then uniformly transformed them into some kind of dark nature energy and released it. Because the body of the Akatsuki Cultist has been transformed by demons, this does have a significant strength improvement effect, but the side effects produced are too large, and they may not be obvious at this stage, when the strength grows to a certain level, these side effects will be highlighted, which is completely a promotion method fueled by seedlings.
The people of the present age are too stupid, so they will be bewitched by demons and become the minions of demons.
When the demonic bounty was over, the audience returned to silence, and all the cultists sat cross-legged on the ground, allowing their bodies to absorb the gains they had just received. When Mu Yun raised his head and looked at the altar, the apostles from all the altars appeared, and the apostles who did not come to the previous meetings were basically all here this time.
For example, at the altar of charm, outside the Huayan on the other side, three apostles appeared.
"Huh...... It's not ......"
One of them was an old woman, which surprised Mu Yun.
Li Qinglian?
The vice-leader of the Warlock Alliance!
Hunting Cloud stole the information of the secret realm in the magic city, and Jin Mu guessed that there was an inner ghost among the high-level people, but he never thought that the inner ghost would be Jin Mu's assistant, Li Qinglian, who has been friends for decades.
Li Qinglian is the first apostle of the Charm Altar, the deputy leader of the Silver Snow Warlock Alliance, and Yan Wushuang's teacher. Yan Wushuang has no relatives since he was a child, and he got some inheritance and adventures by chance, and finally worshiped under Li Qinglian. Li Qinglian saw that he was beautiful and fragrant, and he expected to be very useful in the future, so he first accepted Yan Wushuang as an apprentice, and then introduced the Red Moon Church, Li Qinglian didn't know that Yan Wushuang had rare soul spells, so he could resist the erosion of the Red Moon Church.
Yan Wushuang has not been in the church for too long, and she will agree to join the Akatsuki Church, on the one hand, to protect herself, and on the other hand, to use the Akatsuki Church to improve her strength. Of course, Yan Wushuang soon discovered that the Akatsuki Church was like a quagmire, and when she stepped in, it would be very difficult to leave.
Mu Yun expressed in the secret realm that he wanted to take Yan Wushuang as an apprentice.
In fact, Yan Wushuang was very excited, she was worried and scared every day in the Red Moon Church, and she thought more than once about escaping from the church and finding an isolated place to hide. As Yan Wushuang got to know the Akatsuki Church more and more, she deeply realized that this was almost impossible to do, there were Akatsuki minions everywhere in this world, and Yan Wushuang had been branded with Akatsuki, and no matter where he fled, he would be caught back.
Akatsuki's traitors are very rare.
If Yan Wushuang betrayed Akatsuki and was caught, with the cruelty of the demons and the madness of the believers, Yan Wushuang would feel creepy just thinking about it. She could only reluctantly refuse Mu Yun and continue to stay in the church as an apostle of the red moon.
Hunting the clouds is dead.
Yao Yuanming was promoted to chief apostle.
Li Qinglian became the deputy chief apostle.
"Welcome to Sect Leader Zuo!"
The apostles bowed respectfully, Mu Yun felt that the wind was raging in the cave, and above the eight altars, hundreds of bats emerged, flying around each other, and in the center of the bat swarm, a blood-red light appeared, and a pale man, standing in the void, with a dark red wide robe, hunting in the air, and blood-red eyes were filled with terrifying coercion.
"Meet Sect Leader Zuo!"
The congregants hurried to salute.
The Blood Song was stronger in the secret realm, and the help of the blood of the Heaven Covering Beast was really huge.
Blood Song always stood in the void, and the bats around him gave people a strange feeling, looking down on everyone condescendingly, "The Holy Sect's million vanguard regiments are gathering in the ice field, and they will move south in a few days to unify the continent, just around the corner." Dear believers, are you ready to die for the Holy Church?"
"Never give up!"
"Akatsuki Immortal!"
The crowd shouted in unison, like a flood pouring into every corner of the mine.
Blood Song said lightly: "Your loyalty, this seat is very pleased, and now we will start assigning tasks." β
Several demon envoys flapped their wings and came into the air, and at the same time raised their hands, the fluctuating energy spread, and finally formed a huge pattern in the air, Mu Yun stared carefully and found that the pattern was a huge map.
Mu Yun had never seen such a vast territory and such a rich map, from the dense forests in the south, to the Terran plains, to the frost plateau, and finally to the pathogen, the Red Moon map covered two-thirds of the northern continent.
Mu Yun stared at the North Ice Field, which made Mu Yun very regretful, the demon was too cautious.
Even the internal map did not mark the location of the headquarters.
But it doesn't matter.
Mu Yun has the ability to never forget, so it is much easier to memorize the terrain of the North Ice Field, so that he can advance the North Ice Field.
Bloodsong begins assigning tasks:
These people who held military power, such as Yao Yuanming, who was the general of the city lord, and other high-ranking figures of the Terran society, all had to stay behind and be responsible for cooperating with the attack internally. More than half of the rest of the apostles and believers will be sent to the northern ice fields to join the formation of legions and be responsible for leading the army to attack the south.
When assigned to the Altar of the Charm.
Because there are very few fighters at the Altar of Enchantment, and they are generally responsible for tempting the guards of a certain place, etc., few people are sent to the north, and Mu Yun, as the chief priest of the Altar of Enchantment, is assigned to a small town to stand by.
Even, even the apostle Yan Wushuang, whom Mu Yun intended to use, was only assigned a special mission and was not qualified to go north.
Mu Yun couldn't help but feel a little worried, now he didn't even have a chance to reach the ice field, so how could he still be building a teleportation array by the northern ice field?
A complete transmission system must be two-way fixed-point, one side transmits, one side receives, otherwise the transmission cannot be completed. Even if Mu Yun was able to establish a teleportation array in Baicheng, if there was no receiving location in the north, then the teleportation tower would be meaningless.
Mu Yun clenched his fists.
Now the plan to go north with the Akatsuki army cannot be implemented, and we can't sit idly by, so we have to start from other places.
