Chapter 175: The amazing achievements of the Hades Cult, everything is ready except for the east wind, and the believers are fanatical ( words) "So that's how it is." After listening to this, Xu Gu completely understood Shui Ruyi and why he joined the underworld and believed in the gods of the underworld. Simply put, there is enough benefit! No matter how Xu Gu, an insider, thinks of the underworld, it doesn't matter. In the eyes of outsiders, the current underworld is definitely a super behemoth. To the demon cultivators in Tushita City, it was even more terrifying. In just over a month, under the leadership of four young people in the Foundation Establishment Stage, their power expanded rapidly from a small village. Now they have occupied all the peripheral forces of Tushita City and directly surrounded Tushita City. All the demon cultivators, even the nine great fusion stage ancestors in the city, did not dare to break out rashly. In the eyes of the demon cultivators, even if there are no immortals standing behind the underworld, there must be at least a few in the Tribulation Crossing Stage or the Mahayana Stage! It has enough power to contend with the White Lotus Sect and the Black Lotus Sect.

In the ancestral land of the Demonic Path, having a powerful backer is better than anything else. Then, the underworld is now in a period of rapid development. As long as you enter it, you can easily attract a large number of demon cultivators to join you and earn huge amounts of per capita fees. These two points alone are enough to attract Shui Ruyi to join. Not to mention, the underworld also has mysterious doctrines! Alternative resurrection, alternative eternal life, and reincarnation, these three points are infinitely tempting! Even if there is only a slight possibility, it is enough to induce others to follow suit! After all, what if it's true? It won't hurt to believe it a little more. Anyway, Shui Ruyi only joined the underworld secretly and believed in the gods of the underworld. On the surface, he was still an envoy of the Black Lotus Sect. He wanted both! "That's the truth." After Xu Gu understood Shui Ruyi's actions, he said with a playful look, "But, you're playing both sides. Aren't you afraid that the Black Lotus Cult will find out that you secretly believe in the teachings of the underworld? And then you'll be liquidated?" "That's nothing." Shui Ruyi didn't care at all and said, "My sisters all believe in the Hades." "What?" Xu Gu was shocked again, very surprised: "Did your sisters all believe it?" This was an answer that was completely beyond his expectations. Although the power established by the four of them was called the Underworld, its full name should be the Underworld Cult. The Underworld Emperor is another name for the Yama Emperor. He is also the chief god worshipped by the Underworld Religion founded by Xu Gu, Kong Haoran and four others. Gods do not have a fixed meaning, but generally refer to those who are omnipotent. For example, the god that both the White Lotus Sect and the Black Lotus Sect believe in is their ancestor, Mo Xi. Long-term worship and the accumulated power of faith will make the fictional gods concrete, and the concrete and living gods will become more powerful. Long-term worshippers can also receive rewards from the gods. In addition to the Yama Emperor who corresponds to Xu Gu, the Underworld Religion founded by Xu Gu and his people also worships three other gods, namely the Dark Buddha Emperor, the Nether Saint Emperor, and the Great Power Emperor, corresponding to Mi Suhui, Kong Haoran, and Zhao Jingang. The number of deities will continue to increase in the future, and at least one position will be reserved for Li Shaobai and Huan Caiyi. As for the title, of course it’s my own idea. Xu Gu's title was just a casual mention. Seeing that Mi Suhui created the underworld with the help of myths and legends, he mentioned Yama King to fit the occasion. However, Mi Suhui felt that it was not cool enough to just be called a king, so he changed it to an emperor. Xu Gu didn't care about this. Because, the underworld religion established in the ancestral land of the Demon Dao is destined to be just an experiment. Because the natives in the ancestral land of the Demon Dao cannot leave the ancestral land. No matter how powerful this underworld is, it cannot exert influence outside the ancestral land. Afterwards, if Mi Suhui really has the ability, he will build a real underworld in the world of immortal cultivation, comparable to the underworld in the myths and legends of Xu Gu's previous life, in charge of reincarnation, with positions such as Fengdu Emperor, Dongyue Emperor, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, the Five Ghost Emperors, the Ten Kings of Hell, Gongcao, Judge, Ox-Head and Horse-Faced Gods, etc.

He doesn't mind being the King of Fengdu. Xu Gu knew that Shui Ruyi dared to play two games at the same time and secretly believed in the gods of the Underworld, so he didn't care much about being discovered and exposed. But Shui Ruyi's explanation was that the other messengers around him all believed in the gods of the Underworld. The Black Lotus Cult envoys, like the White Lotus Cult envoys, were all extremely arrogant, and regarded other demon cultivators in the ancestral land as prisoners, and themselves as rulers. Those who could be called sisters by her were naturally only the Black Lotus Cult envoys. This result made it difficult for Xu Gu not to be shocked and surprised. "The Underworld Cult, has its influence become so great? Even I, the founder, don't know about it?" Xu Gu muttered to himself. He himself felt that it was a bit outrageous. At first, he just wanted to tie filial piety and religious beliefs together in order to deceive the lower-level demon cultivators. Who would have thought that in less than two months, even the Black Lotus Cult envoys would join in droves. You know, these are a group of Black Lotus Cult messengers! They represent the most honorable group of people in the Demonic Dao ancestral land! And they also have their own beliefs. Basically, they are the least likely to believe in gods of other religions! But he believes in the gods of the underworld! Doesn't this mean that the Underworld Cult doesn't even need to use force, and can take over the entire ancestral land of the Demonic Path just by infiltrating their faith? Let all the demon cultivators in the ancestral land believe in the gods of the underworld? "Why are you making such a fuss?" Shui Ruyi shook her head slightly, as if looking at a bumpkin: "Don't look, there is nothing going on in Tushita City right now. But I bet that absolutely half of the people secretly believe in the gods of the underworld. “Even among the combined forces in the city, there should be 30% who secretly believe in the gods of the Underworld.” "Maybe." Xu Gu showed little interest and didn't really believe it. Because he is the boss of the Underworld Cult and knows the exact number of members of the Underworld, which is currently just over one million. In the entire Tushita City, including the lowest level of Qi Refining Stage, there are tens of millions of demon cultivators. Even in the towns and villages surrounding Tushita City, not to mention the mortals, there are tens of millions of demon cultivators, including those in the Qi Refining Stage. Even though his more than one million members of the Underworld Sect have very high cultivation bases, the lowest of which is at the Foundation Establishment Stage, they are just a drop in the bucket among the tens of millions of demon cultivators. How is it possible? What Shui Ruyi said was so exaggerated. Half of the demon cultivators in the city believe in the Underworld Religion. "If you don't believe me, forget it." Shui Ruyi shrugged her shoulders and didn't force him. She said, "Now you should tell me why you want to help me and how you want to help me." "The reason I'm helping you is very simple." Xu Gu regained his composure and said calmly, "Because I'm also a member of the Underworld." “……”Shui Ruyi was speechless for a while. Why did you ask so many questions just now? You, a person with thick eyebrows and big eyes, have entered the underworld. Are you still surprised that I, a little person at the peak of the spirit transformation, joined the underworld? "This is my identity token." Xu Gu casually took out a token with the word "Judge" written on it. "It's the Judge?" Shui Ruyi suddenly became solemn and surprised, and a look of nervousness appeared on her face for a moment. In the Underworld Sect, besides the three, two, one, and super agent demons, there are four levels. Above them are the Yin Chasers, such as the Judge, the Ox-Headed, the Horse-Faced, the Black and White, and the Impermanence. All the titles of Yincha are of the same first class, but there are differences in high and low levels.

The status of the Judge is the highest among all the titles of Yincha. Above them are the four heads. After she joined the underworld, she had never seen or even heard of the title of Yincha. The highest-ranking demons she had seen were the three super-agent demons. Not to mention the highest-ranking judge among the title of Yincha. She never expected that the Xuan Guang Zhen Jun in front of her was actually the judge of the underworld. "Hiss." Immediately afterwards, Shui Ruyi's face showed fear and sadness. The most horrible thing happened. As an envoy of the Black Lotus Sect, her status should have been above that of an ordinary fusion stage cultivator. But now, she had become a subordinate of True Lord Xuan Guang, and a subordinate of a subordinate. I would like to ask, is there anything more tragic in this world than your subordinates becoming your superiors? "Don't worry, I said I would help you." Xu Gu said calmly, "Whether it's a promotion in the Underworld Sect or a promotion in the Black Lotus Sect." "Just you? A person who has achieved the fusion stage through secret technique?" Shui Ruyi really wanted to refute. To be honest, she really didn't think highly of Xuan Guang Zhen Jun. If she hadn't discovered that Xuan Guang Zhen Jun was actually quite pretty, she wouldn't have even looked at him straight in the eye. In this case, it is natural that one will feel dissatisfied. He thought that Xuan Guang Zhen Jun just joined early and became the Yincha Judge of the Underworld Sect. He didn't think that the other party could help him. Xu Gu's eyes were sharp, he saw through Shui Ruyi's thoughts, and said calmly: "Since you have joined the Underworld Sect, and as a first-level agent demon, you should know the difficulties of level promotion. "Since I was promoted to the position of Judge, I must have some outstanding qualities. After all, I cannot be a Yincha with just my cultivation." The Hell Sect developed rapidly, and the rank system was upgraded several times by Mi Suhui, Kong Haoran, and Zhao Jingang. The promotion of positions no longer depended solely on the level of cultivation or the number of people recruited, but on the comprehensive conditions and abilities of the person to be promoted. Shui Ruyi then became a little more serious. Xu Gu added: "You know, the four leaders of our Underworld Sect have low cultivation levels. Do you also think they are incapable?" "I dare not." Shui Ruyi stood in awe and said quickly: "The four bosses are the ones I admire most in my life, especially our eldest boss!" This is not an excuse, but the truth. Although this was the result of Mi Suhui and Kong Haoran's deliberate propaganda in order to consolidate the faith, they did not exaggerate when they told the followers about Xu Gu's deeds. It is even more restrained, omitting most of the important events. Xu Gu nodded in satisfaction and said, "Next, our church will give you tasks one after another. If you can complete them all, your path to promotion will be smooth. "During this period, if you encounter any trouble or difficulty, please report it immediately. Our church will give you support as appropriate and help you solve the problem." Originally, he came here to kill Shui Ruyi so that he could disguise himself and infiltrate the Black Lotus Sect later. But since Shui Ruyi has become a member of his underworld sect, there is no need to kill him. If there is anything, just give the order directly. "Yes! Thank you, Master Zhenjun... Judge!" Shui Ruyi was extremely excited, her face full of joy, and she knelt directly on the ground, extremely humble and grateful. With Xu Gu's words, it means that her future will really be smooth sailing! As she spoke, she knelt down and bent down, revealing her graceful body. She even lifted the hem of her skirt, revealing a large area of ​​white. The expression on her face was even more charming.

Obviously, Shui Ruyi intended to express her gratitude using a common way of saying thank you in the secular world. At the same time, take this opportunity to further improve the relationship between yourself and your superiors. Xu Gu seemed not to notice it and said calmly, "Go back and wait for notification." "Ah?" Shui Ruyi, who was about to take the next step, suddenly stiffened her delicate body and her expression froze in disbelief. I'm in this state, and you want me to go back? "What? Do you have anything else to do?" Xu Gu asked knowingly. "Uh..." Shui Ruyi's composure gradually recovered, and she laughed awkwardly. Then, she said hesitantly in a humble and nervous tone, "This... is my home?" "I'll go back, you wait for notification." Xu Gu nodded, not caring about it. As he spoke, with the secret help of the butler puppet, the figure suddenly disappeared from the spot. …… The outskirts of Xuantian Cave Mansion. "Huh." Xu Gu let out a long sigh. Using the power of the butler puppet to teleport instantly can maintain the status quo, but it will cause a certain amount of pressure on the body. Unless it is a special situation, he basically doesn't need it. The butler puppet took a step forward and skillfully opened up a domain of law. An invisible force spread out, enveloping the space around Xu Gu, and then flew away at a high speed with this part of the space. Traveling in this way is not only fast, but also more difficult for others to notice. In just a moment, it crossed countless spiritual peaks, spiritual rivers and buildings along the way and landed towards the palace of True Lord Xuan Guang. On the way back, Xu Gu still felt it was incredible. After a moment of thought, he said, "The layout of Tushita City has been completed. However, there is still some time before the decisive battle. It's time to go back to the Underworld Sect." Although, during these days, Mi Suhui and the other two often sent him messages to inform him of the development of the Underworld Sect. But this was too different from what he learned about the development of the Underworld Sect from Shui Ruyi. Considering the ability of these three people to stir up trouble. Xu Gu thought it would be more reassuring if he went back to have a look. At this critical moment, he couldn't let down his guard. "Go back to the underworld." Thinking of this, Xu Gu gave an order to the butler puppet. "Yes." The butler puppet executed the order, changed direction, and rushed towards the headquarters of the Underworld Sect with Xu Gu. As the Underworld Cult conquered all the towns outside the Doushita City, the Underworld Cult headquarters also moved out of Guyue Lake Town and was established in Tianxing Town, which had the best training environment outside the city. In the original Tianxing Town, there was a powerful manor called Tianxing Villa. However, today, Tianxing Villa has become the territory of the underworld. Most of the top leaders of Tianxing Villa have fled to Doushita City, and most of the remaining people have joined the underworld religion. Of course, some people also planned to flee to other main cities. However, the journey was long and dangerous, and even if they arrived at other main cities, as outsiders, without the protection of a mountain, they would most likely die. Therefore, there were very few demon cultivators of this type. "Believe in Emperor Yama and you will have eternal life!"

"Believe in the Buddha Emperor of the Underworld and you will be reincarnated!" "Trust the Holy Emperor You and you will gain divine wisdom!" "Trust in the Great Power Emperor and you will gain divine power!" As soon as Xu Gu walked into Tianxing Town, he raised his brows slightly and heard waves of powerful and vast sacrificial sounds. He glanced around and saw countless demon cultivators gathered in Tianxing Town, kneeling devoutly. They all had fiery eyes, looked excited and thrilled, and recited the prayers of the Underworld Cult. At the very center of Tianxing Town is a group of suspended islands. Below the islands is a huge spiritual lake that is hundreds of miles in radius. Surrounding the lake are dozens of spiritual peaks that soar into the clouds and are thousands of feet high, guarding it. Directly above Linghu Lake are islands in the sky. Spiritual energy and demonic energy intertwined, swirling into gray-brown clouds, filling the four directions of each island in the sky. The islands were beautiful with clear water and mountains, and full of spiritual charm. They were all excellent holy places for cultivation. Even if one is at the Spiritual Transformation Stage, one will not feel that the spiritual energy is thin or the rhyme of Tao is turbid when practicing on these islands. At this moment, these islands in the sky are filled with incense, colorful lights, and an extremely solemn atmosphere. On each island in the sky, there are densely packed demon cultivators, kneeling devoutly and praying. These were all powerful and capable demon cultivators with great potential or status. Some demon cultivators who were not qualified to go to the island to pray and offer sacrifices knelt and prostrated themselves around the Spirit Lake. They are fanatical, humble, and pious, they are simply typical fanatics! When they gather together, they will unleash unimaginable destructive power! Tianxing Town, which was originally just a small town, became majestic, sacred and vast because of the collective and pious worship of these fanatics. "My goodness, what are you doing to me?" Xu Gu raised his eyebrows when he saw this scene, and was shocked: "You are worthy of being the Five Evils of the Righteous Path! You are here to release your nature, right?" If he didn't know that this was the Underworld Religion, he would have thought that he had come to the Western Buddhist Kingdom, or the Far Western Church of Light! How long has it been? In less than two months, Mi Suhui and the other two turned the makeshift group of the Underworld Religion into a religious sanctuary, and brainwashed all the members into fanatical warriors who were not afraid of life and death? This management ability is a bit too terrifying! Even some first-class sects in the outside world have built religious holy sites over thousands or even tens of thousands of years, and the number and quality of their fanatical believers, as well as the scale of their pilgrimages, are no more than this level, right? To be honest, even if Xu Gu, the big boss of the underworld, the main founder of the Underworld Cult, the originator of various development strategies such as "spreading filial piety and attracting people" and "brainwashing with doctrines", were asked to personally take charge, he would definitely not be able to achieve this level! Even far worse! During these two months, the most he could do was to turn this group of people into the Yellow Turban Army or the Boxer Rebellion. But, Mi Suhui and the other three obviously turned this group of people into crusaders! The gap between the two is like the gap between bandits and regular troops. “As expected of the light of righteousness, they are the ultimate geniuses in this world who have gathered all the good fortunes in one. They are truly outrageous!” Xu Gu was sincerely moved and had to admit defeat. He felt that although he had cheats, they were nothing compared to the five cheats of Kong Haoran and the others. "Fortunately, I still have a little insignificant wisdom and an unimaginable peerless beauty." When Xu Gu thought of this, his heart felt slightly balanced. Gathering his thoughts, Xu Gu walked into the air, entered the town, and landed near a group of demon cultivators who were kneeling devoutly. Because, within the domain of the butler puppet, no one from the outside world could detect his arrival. Xu Gu looked at this group of demon cultivators.

It can be seen that the cultivation level of this group of demon cultivators is not high, and most of them are in the Jindan stage. Because of this, their status was not high enough and they could only stay at the outermost edge of the pilgrimage. However, even so, they were not dissatisfied, but were glad to be able to enter Tianxing Town to worship the gods. This is because there are an even greater number of demon cultivators who are not qualified to enter Tianxing Town. "Why are you so pious?" Xu Gu's figure gradually became apparent, able to be seen by the world, and he said calmly. "Wow!" Xu Gu's sudden appearance immediately caused a small-scale commotion. "Who are you?" "Someone come! Someone's breaking in!" "Blood Devil Self-Destruction Technique!" The pupils of the nearby demon cultivators all shrank suddenly and their expressions were panicked, but they did not retreat. Some questioned Xu Gu's identity, some shouted loudly to inform others that an enemy had broken in, and a large number of demon cultivators planned to die together with Xu Gu. Xu Gu was not surprised at this scene. As a devout believer, if he was still afraid of death, he would not be considered a devout believer. He raised his hand and waved it. An invisible force emanated from the butler puppet, suppressing the movements of everyone. He smiled faintly and said, "One of our own." Xu Gu said, taking out a token. It was only a second-level agent demon, but it was enough to fight against this group of demon cultivators at the bottom of the underworld. "Meet the Level 2 Demon Lord!" All the demon cultivators around were respectful. Xu Gu continued: "Why are you so pious?" As he spoke, Xu Gu even used a spell to make this group of people answer truthfully. "Of course God is omnipotent!" "We are born sinful, and only by taking refuge in the underworld can we cleanse ourselves of our sins." "The Hades gave me everything." "As insignificant as I am, I am no longer insignificant only when I believe in the Hades." "The Great Emperor gave me divine power to help me protect my family." "The Holy Emperor has granted me sanity, allowing me to no longer be in a state of confusion." "..." All the surrounding demon cultivators answered truthfully. Although the answers were varied, they were all within Xu Gu's expectations. "Sure enough, they are all the most devout believers." Xu Gu was convinced. Then, his eyes fell on a child who was probably only five or six years old, and said, "Why are you so devoutly worshipping my underworld gods?" The old man next to him was obviously a little nervous. This was his grandson, and he was worried that the child was ignorant and would say something offensive to the gods. Although he was only in the middle stage of the Golden Core, he joined the Underworld early enough, so he was able to live in Tianxing Town and was qualified to bring one person to live with him. He brought with him the most gifted grandson among his descendants. I hope to receive the blessing of God. "Because after worshipping, the body will feel better." The child said with a little excitement and joy. Believers worship gods and generate the power of faith, which can make gods from virtual to real, and from real to strong. At the same time, these gods will also regularly reward devout believers and bless them.

The effect of this blessing is generally proportional to the strength of the sect and the piety of the believers. Therefore, what the child said was indeed the truth. "This is all the gift from the Four Gods. Hurry up and say thank you to the Four Gods!" Grandpa corrected quickly with a very serious expression. "Thank you, Four Gods!" The child was too young and probably didn't even know what the Four Gods meant, but he still did as he was told. The child's grandfather was slightly satisfied when he saw this, then he breathed a sigh of relief and said to Xu Gu: "He is still young and does not know the greatness of the Four Gods. However, he will grow up soon, and then he will know the greatness of the Four Gods." Xu Gu smiled knowingly, and before the child's grandfather could finish speaking, his figure had disappeared. After he left, a ray of dazzling light passed through the air and fell on the group of demon cultivators. In an instant, These demon cultivators then felt their energy was full, their spirits were strong, their magic power was surging, and the hidden injuries in their bodies began to disappear. Some of the demon cultivators who were already on the verge of a breakthrough even broke through directly. Obviously, unimaginable benefits have been obtained. "This is……" "Blessing from the Hades!" "That person just now was not a Level 2 Demon Lord. A Level 2 Demon Lord cannot affect the blessing of God!" "It's the boss! The man just now is the legendary boss! The Underworld Emperor's walking corpse!" The demon cultivators here walked out in astonishment and joy, each of them was extremely pious, they all knelt down, and thanked madly to express their gratitude. In particular, after guessing Xu Gu's approximate identity, he became even more pious. From a devout believer, he has become a fanatical believer. Because this is equivalent to a miracle happening to oneself, which will naturally greatly enhance the level of faith. As for why he was able to guess Xu Gu’s identity? The reason is simple. Mi Suhui and the other two had received blessings from the gods in this way many times. Since only four bosses can bring down the blessing of gods, and they have seen the other three bosses, this person can only be the mysterious chief boss. …… Xu Gu's return naturally alarmed Mi Suhui and the other two. The three of them were all extremely excited. They rushed out to greet the guests, with smiles on their faces showing no signs of subsiding. There’s no way, they’ve been having so much fun these days! This is the kind of happiness that cannot be experienced in the right way! He personally created his own power, trained it at will, and quickly developed it into a force comparable to the first-class sects in the outside world. He led his huge number of subordinates in a crazy attack on cities and territories, and never failed. From start to finish, it only took two months, with a fast pace and no difficulties. How could it not be great? Of course, they all knew that they could achieve this level only because Senior Brother Xu used his amazing wisdom and precise planning to solve all problems and difficulties in advance.

They just need to follow the steps and have fun without having to use their brains at all. Otherwise, it is unknown whether they can expand their power to the point where they can go beyond the village. "Brother, why are you back?" Kong Haoran stepped on the butler puppet and flew over first, saying excitedly. "Has the layout of the city been completed?" Mi Suhui asked with concern. "So is the fight about to start?" Zhao Jingang was eager to try and was looking forward to it. Xu Gu nodded and shook his head, and said with a smile: "All arrangements have been completed, and we have been waiting for the White Lotus Angel Yu Lan to come. However, there is still some time before the final battle breaks out. Of course, it won't take long." As they spoke, Mi Suhui and the other two led the way and flew towards the center of the group of suspended islands, which was also the largest one. Along the way, countless devout demon cultivators who were worshipping devoutly could not help but exclaim in surprise. They finally met the mysterious and legendary boss! There are not many demon cultivators on the suspended island in the center, only some guards and several towering caves. This is where they live. Occasionally, they will call some high-ranking members of the Underworld Sect to hold meetings in the main hall. There are a total of six caves built on the island. Xu Gu’s cave was in the middle, followed by Mi Suhui, Kong Haoran and their caves. Although Li Shaobai and Huan Caiyi were not there, caves were left for the two of them. Xu Gu walked into his own cave with a calm expression, because he had been living in the residence of Master Xuan Guang during this period of time. He also visited other caves in the fusion stage in Tushita City. Therefore, one would not feel that the cave is majestic and magnificent. Xu Gu asked the three people, "Did you get all the Red Middle Masks?" Kong Haoran was speechless: "Uh..." "Hiss." Zhao Jingang was embarrassed. "Are you talking about the siege dragon cannon? We have already got it." Mi Suhui proudly changed the subject. Xu Gu: “…” He had already known about obtaining the rights to use the siege dragon cannon. Ever since reaching a tacit understanding with the combined entities in Tushita City, the underworld's conquest of cities has been incredibly smooth. Naturally, only ten manors were all taken over. He was asking about the Red Middle Mask now. "So, it's not going well?" Xu Gu asked. "It's like this." Kong Haoran scratched his head for the rare occasion, and said somewhat frustratedly, "These believers are too loyal. Basically, they believe whatever we say. Then, we privately arranged for someone to dispel the rumor, but no one believed it." Zhao Jingang and Kong Haoran both nodded. Xu Gu felt a headache and asked, "So, you still haven't got a Red Middle Mask?" "That's not the case." Mi Suhui whispered, "Haoran and I got it." "Oh? Tell me about it?" Xu Gu was a little curious and wanted to know how they did it.

Believers are too fanatical and it is indeed difficult to fool them, because they will believe whatever you say. If you lie publicly first and then publicly refute the rumor, it will undoubtedly reduce the loyalty of believers, and believers will feel that they have been fooled. Kong Haoran looked at Mi Suhui, and Mi Suhui looked at Kong Haoran. "You speak first!" "You speak first!" The two of them rarely pushed each other around, which showed that this was indeed not very glorious. Finally, Kong Haoran spoke first: "Okay, I'll say it first. In order not to affect my religious beliefs, I racked my brains and thought of many ways. Finally, I came up with a brilliant idea. "I first spread it privately, saying that I plagiarized a really great article. But it was actually my original and great article." Xu Gu nodded and said, "So, you first lied to some people that you plagiarized an article? Then, you dispel the rumor that it was your own article? This is a good idea. "Not only did you not make the believers feel fooled, but you also did not damage the dignity that you should have as the leader of the sect. Then why are you hesitating like that? It's as if you did something shameful." Kong Haoran said helplessly: "But the plan is beautiful, but the reality is cruel. "First, they didn't think it was a good article. Second, no one believed that it was my original work. They all thought I couldn't come up with an original idea." “???” Xu Gu raised his eyebrows, looking surprised. Then, he laughed out loud. No wonder Kong Haoran felt so uncomfortable. Kong Haoran, the son of a leading Confucianist and Taoist leader, who was regarded as a seed of learning by the Shang Dynasty literary world, a natural Confucian cultivator, and a future leader of Confucianism and Taoism, wrote a good article that was actually questioned and considered bad by the demon cultivators. The most important thing is that even if they think it is a bad article, they also think that with Kong Haoran's level, he can't even write such a bad article! "Damn, a bunch of illiterate people." Thinking of this, Kong Haoran couldn't help but swear. He felt unbearable and very angry. If it weren't for this group of demon cultivators, all of whom were his subordinates, he would have started a killing spree long ago. However, he later found a reason to severely punish this group of evil cultivators. "So, how did you manage to cheat 10,000 people and get the Red Mask?" Xu Gu asked with a smile. "In order to change my image in the eyes of the demon cultivators, I openly wrote dozens of brilliant articles, and they were all impromptu." Kong Haoran said faintly: "Then, before I was ready for the next scam, I found that the mission was completed." The corner of Xu Gu's mouth twitched again, and he understood Kong Haoran more and more. "What a bunch of damn illiterate people. It turns out that they always thought I was illiterate too! "After I debunked the rumor, they were surprised to find out that they had been deceived. It turns out that the second in command is not illiterate?" Kong Haoran said, becoming even more angry. "It can't be helped. Demon cultivators have low education levels." Xu Gu consoled him, "They think you are a demon cultivator, so they will naturally think you are not well educated." Kong Haoran didn't feel any better, but took out his weapon. Books of saints. I really want to say, isn't my performance obvious enough? It seems that those demon cultivators all think that he is fighting with so many books just to show off? Xu Gu saw through Kong Haoran's thoughts, spread out his hands, and said, "So these are your weapons? So, what is your axe for?"

"..." Kong Haoran was speechless. Well, it is easy to be misunderstood if you often carry an axe. Although the word "德" is written on this axe, ordinary people can tell at a glance that this is a magical weapon for Confucian practitioners. But, this group of demon cultivators are fucking illiterate! Xu Gu looked at Mi Suhui and asked, "How did you get the Hongzhong Mask?" Although monks do not tell lies, that was the stereotype people had about monks before Mi Suhui was born. Therefore, he did not think it was difficult for Mi Suhui to obtain the Hongzhong Mask. Mi Suhui's expression was similar to Kong Haoran's just now. He said quietly, "I said that I am a legitimate monk, practicing legitimate Buddhism, and have a legitimate monk system. But no one believed me. So, I used Buddhism to save a few ghost cultivators on the spot, and then they believed me. "Then, I gained the right to use the Red Middle Mask." Obviously, the way he obtained the Red Mask was similar to Kong Haoran. The demon cultivators all had preconceived ideas and thought that the two leaders were typical images of demon cultivators. For example, they thought Kong Haoran was illiterate and pretending to be cultured, and that Mi Suhui was a fake monk. After the two men refuted the rumors and proved themselves, the demon cultivators all felt that they had been deceived. "It's not their fault." Xu Gu shook his head and said, "If I didn't know you well, I wouldn't think you were a serious monk." "..."Mi Suhui. Xu Gu looked at Zhao Jingang, who was laughing and looking very embarrassed, with a very easy-going expression. Zhao Jingang was not at all surprised that he did not get the Red Mask. As a physical cultivator, it is normal that he is not as good as Kong Haoran and Mi Suhui in deceiving people. Xu Gu said to Zhao Jingang, "Didn't they give examples? You just need to find a way to prove that you are smart and break their stereotypes. You have the spirit of wisdom, so you can definitely do it." But who would have thought that after hearing this, Zhao Jingang felt awkward and said hesitantly: "This... seems..." "What's wrong?" Xu Gu was puzzled, not understanding why Zhao Jingang looked so constipated. Zhao Jingang then said, "Well, how should I put it? Senior Brother Haoran and Junior Brother Suhui have both told me the method you mentioned. I did it as well. But it didn't work." "Huh? No effect?" Xu Gu was stunned for a moment, and said: "How could it be? Is it difficult to prove that you are smart? Don't you have the help of the Spirit of Wisdom?" Then, he thought about it carefully and felt that this might indeed be a bit difficult for Zhao Jingang. "Not really." Zhao Jingang shook his head and hesitated again. "?" Xu Gu raised his eyebrows, completely confused. Kong Haoran then said quietly, "That group of demon cultivators all think he is very smart. So, no matter how much Zhao Jingang proves that he is smart, it is useless." "Ah?" Xu Gu exclaimed in surprise, looking at Zhao Jingang in astonishment, and then looked out of the cave and looked at the group of demon cultivators outside: "Is there something wrong with the brains of these demon cultivators?" Zhao Jingang: “…” Senior brother, although I know I am not smart, isn’t it a bit hurtful when you say this?

"There's nothing wrong with your brain. Would you be fooled by us like this?" Mi Suhui spread his hands. Kong Haoran added: "In fact, King Kong is very smart, but he is just a body cultivator, so his mind is relatively straightforward and he doesn't know how to think in circles. This group of demon cultivators have little culture and have little contact with King Kong, so they don't have a deep understanding of him. “It’s normal to feel that way.” "That's right." Xu Gu nodded, agreeing. Zhao Jingang is certainly not stupid, otherwise he would not be the world's top genius. He just has a straightforward mind. Dealing with incidents, collecting information, organizing documents, dispatching personnel and materials and other tasks that do not require any thinking are all easy for him to do, and no one can do it better than him! "Then you should dispel the rumor and prove that you are not that smart." Xu Gu said to Zhao Jingang. Zhao Jingang didn't even think about it and just shook his head to refuse. Ever since he left Zhaojiagou and hung out with Mi Suhui and the other three, no one thought he was smart anymore. This is even more true after following Xu Gu. He finally got recognition for his intelligence, so how could he collapse on his own? Xu Gu chuckled and didn't take it too seriously, saying, "Then look for other stereotypes that the demon cultivators have about you and dispel those rumors. We'll help you find them, it shouldn't be difficult to find them." "Okay." Zhao Jingang raised the corners of his mouth and laughed. "Except for Brother Jin Gang's red mask, we have obtained the right to use the treasures you selected." Mi Suhui said, "But I still have no idea about the defensive treasure 'Divine Brilliance Barrier'." Kong Haoran also nodded. In order to obtain the right to use the Divine Glory Barrier, one has to go so far as to resist the attacks of six forces in the fusion stage! Pretending to attack is not enough! How is this possible? "That's not a problem. I've already completed the layout." Xu Gu said with a smile, "The reason why I asked you to obtain the Red Middle Mask is also for this layout." "Oh?" Mi Suhui and the other two were all shocked when they heard this. They became very excited. You are indeed a senior brother with amazing wisdom! They have actually already made plans and are about to take down the 'Divine Barrier'! They couldn't imagine how they would be recorded in the Shenwu Palace after they obtained so many top-level treasures and then conquered the ancestral land of the Demon Sect where Du Jie was in charge! How will future generations recite their legends! Xu Gu understood the situation again and confirmed that his plan was foolproof. Then he asked, "How many members does our Underworld Cult have now?" "One million and seventy thousand." Zhao Jingang said without thinking, "Among them, a small number are in the late stage of foundation building, totaling 300,000. Although they are weak, they are all relatively talented magic cultivators. Then there are 80,000 peak foundation building cultivators who may be promoted to golden elixir at any time. There are 200,000 in the early stage of golden elixir, and 130,000 in the middle stage of golden elixir..." Xu Gu interrupted him directly and said, "I know this. However, I heard that there are many people in the city who believe in our religion? There are hundreds of millions of people?" This was not entirely because he believed Shui Ruyi's unilateral words. On his way back, he asked the housekeeper puppet to scan the majority of the magic cultivators with his spiritual sense and found that there were indeed a large number of magic cultivators who were secretly worshiping the gods of the underworld. "Hundreds of millions?" Mi Suhui and Kong Haoran were both shocked when they heard Xu Gu's words. Zhao Jingang's voice was silent for a moment, and he said, "There should be."

"Should there be?" Xu Gu was slightly surprised and said, "How can there be? We don't have so many people in the entire Underworld Sect." Zhao Jingang continued, "Brother, didn't you say that when recruiting followers from the underworld, we should pursue quality, not quantity? “So, many demon cultivators wanted to join us, but we rejected them all. "Our million demon cultivators not only have good cultivation, but also have relatively good potential, background, and even good character. Of course, this is only relative. "Those demon cultivators who were rejected by us may be unwilling to give up. They still believe in our underworld gods, thinking that when they are qualified to enter one day, they will be senior believers directly, which can save a lot of trouble. “They even spread our teachings on their own initiative, setting up self-help groups one after another, believing in our religion while applying to join us. “Once the demon cultivators from the Self-help Association pass their application and enter our Underworld Sect, they will find a way to help other demon cultivators from the Self-help Association enter. "As for the demon cultivators in the city, we will not accept them for the time being, no matter what the conditions are. Therefore, their situation is even more serious." Zhao Jingang concluded, “So, although there are only million people in our underworld, there are probably 10 to 20 million believers. "Basically, half of the people in Tushita City believe in our religion." "Really so many?" Mi Suhui and Kong Haoran nodded frequently. They knew what Zhao Jingang said, but they did not expect that there would be so many peripheral believers. After listening to this, Xu Gu suddenly realized: "So that's how it is. The influence of our Underworld Sect seems to be quite astonishing." (End of this chapter)
