Chapter 641: Destroying the Cult Headquarters These people once thought that they could kill ordinary people like killing a chicken. But now they found that it was not the case at all. Human life is really so fragile sometimes, just like their colleagues and disciples now, who were pointed directly at the head by the musketeers of the Ming Dynasty and then shot directly, spilling brains and blood. At that moment they finally realized that killing was not that easy, especially killing a stranger. But for some reason, they once thought that this kind of thing was very simple because they didn't feel any guilt. In their understanding, they are slaves of the gods and can do whatever they want as long as it involves matters related to the gods. As long as you have a faithful faith in the gods, you can obtain all forgiveness. As long as you have God in your heart, even if you do something wrong, others can only watch. Even the local government can only turn a blind eye. After all, they had been sued by the government for murder many times, and the government always chose to smooth things over.
After all, their gods have planted many spies in the government, and those people in the government are sometimes disciples of the gods. Therefore, even if the common people wanted to sue, they would not win. With this kind of power indulged in, they became more and more unscrupulous and did not take the common people seriously at all. However, they did not expect that when the people of the Ming Dynasty no longer took them seriously, they finally realized what it meant to be too late to regret. Maybe they really treated the lives of ordinary people as if they were ants, so they didn't care. At the beginning they were a little afraid and felt that it was difficult to kill a person, but after killing many people, they no longer felt that way. Because they are granted certain powers, and we are slaves of the gods, we have the right to deal with ordinary people. Even if you ordinary people have some resentment in your hearts, can you fight against the gods who are high above you? Since you can't fight back, you can only accept your fate. Under this kind of indulgence, they think killing a person is very simple, killing a person is nothing, killing a person has no guilt, so they become more and more rampant. But now when they saw their people thrown to the ground and their heads blown up by guns from the people of the Ming Dynasty, they felt that this was not the case. This was wrong and they should not have such thoughts at all. Because human life is extremely precious and you only have one life. After you die, even God cannot bring you back to life, so they finally woke up. But it's too late now. Judging from Captain Liu's attitude, he doesn't seem to intend to let them go. He might just drag them all out and kill them. Under such circumstances, the best outcome they could think of was to shoot themselves to death so as not to suffer too much pain. But people are afraid of death after all, and they want to live after all, so when Captain Liu said coldly to the Ming soldiers, "Drag them all over here!" The remaining thirty or so cult disciples began to cry for their parents at this time. They did cry for their parents at first, but after being shocked by the Ming soldiers who killed them, they just stood there in a daze, as if numb. But when it was their turn, they finally realized that they would also face death. At this moment, fear and regret overwhelmed their minds. People are like this. Unless they are in desperate situation, they will never believe that they are in desperate situation and will always feel that there is still a chance. Just like these so-called disciples of gods, even if they saw many masters or higher-level disciples die in front of them, they would still feel that there must be a chance for them to turn defeat into victory. Even if not, if I surrender at the last moment, it would show that I have a little bit of pride. So they didn't think about dying at the beginning, but felt that they still had a chance.
Once this idea is shattered, all emotions will instantly flood down like a flood. These people in front of me are just like this. At first they were stubborn and didn’t beg for mercy. Because they felt that the gods would definitely be invited down, especially when they saw how pious those masters were in normal times and how capable they were of calling the wind and rain. The reason why they believe in these gods so much is because they have seen the powerful methods displayed by the masters one by one, so they also believe that someone will be able to save them. It is impossible to ask them to surrender under such circumstances. The only thing they will think about is how they can survive, or even how they can get the same status as before. Some of them even thought that since the mayor of Mandala City needed so-called cult figures like us, then the Ming Dynasty didn't need them either? They needed them just as well. But these people really overlooked a problem. If the Ming Dynasty itself is more powerful than the gods, why does it still need your so-called gods? The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty also believed that there were gods in the world, but they were not gods like them. The soldiers believed that they dared not do bad things because there were gods above their heads. Their gods are not like the gods who are doing evil here, and they are definitely not like them, who only know how to eat, drink and enjoy themselves while making the common people pay the price with their blood. Especially this group of guys, they don't care about the lives of ordinary people at all. After playing with other people's wives and daughters, they sell them directly to brothels in other countries, either for the purpose of silencing them or making profits. The soldiers are very opposed to this kind of gods, so it is impossible for them to believe in them and they will not allow them to exist. Even in the Ming Dynasty, this kind of thing had to be eradicated, so under this circumstance, they would only think of one question? Captain Liu, who had the same thinking, how could he tolerate such a thing on the land he was about to rule? These things must be eradicated completely, and they must not be given any room to grow. So these people really had wild ideas and didn't even think about where they failed. The failure lies in the fact that it is impossible for any soldier or general of the Ming Dynasty to believe them, or even think that they can cooperate with them and deceive other ordinary people. Since he himself doesn't believe it, how can he expect ordinary people to believe it? This is why these people must be executed. They must all die. Keeping these individuals alive will only increase one's disgust. So it is wishful thinking for them to expect the people of the Ming Dynasty to do the same as they did. It is precisely because of this that under such circumstances, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty killed them like chickens, without any pity for them at all. Because the soldiers hate this kind of thing, they only believe in their ancestors and believe that there are gods above their heads, not the so-called evil gods that these cultists believe in, who do not need medical treatment even when they are sick. At this moment, these thirty disciples had lost their previous arrogance and were like mangy dogs with their spines removed. With a plop, they all knelt on the ground, tears streaming down their faces, looking extremely miserable. One of them was a tall and thin man with a pointed face. His whole body was shaking like a sieve and he kowtowed desperately. His forehead hit the ground with a dull "bang bang" sound. He kowtowed and shouted, "General, General! We really know we are wrong and we won't dare to do it again! Please have mercy on us and forgive us this time!" His eyes were wide open with fear and despair, and he looked as if he had seen the most terrifying thing in the world. A short and fat disciple nearby, with snot bubbles coming out of his eyes, hugged a soldier's leg tightly and begged desperately: "Master, please be kind, I have an 80-year-old mother at home who is waiting for me to go back and take care of her! If I die, how will she live!" The soldier frowned and kicked him away in disgust. The cries and pleas of these disciples mixed together and echoed in the hall. But Captain Liu and his soldiers did not move at all, as the muzzles of the muskets were already pointed at them. Following Captain Liu's order, "bang bang bang", the muskets fired together, flashes of fire passed by, and the heads of several disciples exploded instantly, and blood and brain matter splattered on the surrounding walls.
Those disciples who were not hit collapsed to the ground in fear, some even suffered from incontinence, and a pungent stench filled the air. When the people saw this scene, their emotions completely exploded. Many people fell to their knees on the ground and cried out to their dead disciples. An old man with gray hair, tears streaming down his face, waved his hands tremblingly toward the sky, "My daughter, you can rest in peace now! These damned liars have finally gotten their comeuppance!" A middle-aged man next to him also had a sad face and shouted loudly: "Wife, those bastards can no longer harm our family. You watch from heaven!" There was a cry in the crowd. The grief and anger that had been suppressed for so long among the people burst out like a flood. As the disciples fell one after another, the ground was already filled with corpses. Blood gathered into streams on the ground and flowed towards the low-lying areas. Soon, only the last few disciples in white robes were left. These disciples seemed to be of relatively high status. Although they were also afraid, they knew that they would definitely die today, so they remained calm. The leading disciple was a white-robed man with a pointed face and a sneer of disdain on his face. He glanced at the angry people around him and sneered: "You stupid guys, do you still think that the Ming Dynasty is really here to save you? Don't be naive! You are just a group of ants at the mercy of others. You were deceived by us before, and now you are being used by them!" As he spoke, he laughed wildly, and the laughter was particularly harsh in the bloody scene. Another white-robed disciple echoed, "That's right. Your wives and daughters? Humph, we sold them to brothels. We pocketed all the money! What can you do to us? Now you can only watch us die, but you can't change anything!" After these words were spoken, the people were immediately excited. Some picked up stones from the ground and threw them at them, cursing: "You beasts, you shall not die well!" "Pull them apart!" The soldiers pulled the angry people apart. Captain Liu looked at these people with contempt and raised his hand, "Kill!" Several soldiers raised their muskets and aimed at the white-robed disciples. The faces of those white-robed disciples changed slightly, but they still pretended to remain calm. With a few gunshots, their bodies shook a few times, then fell straight to the ground, ending their sinful lives. As the people watched these cult members die, the hatred in their hearts was slightly alleviated. Wang Dahai stepped forward and said, "Fellow villagers, we have eradicated these evil cults. No one will deceive you anymore! You must believe in the laws of the Ming Dynasty and stop being fooled by these supernatural things!" The people nodded and looked at Captain Liu and Wang Dahai with gratitude. Wang Dahai brought some soldiers to clean up the scene and carried out the bodies for burial. Captain Liu talked with some of the people to learn about the previous deeds of these cults so that he could report to Xia Yuanji and others. In the process of clearing out the cult's stronghold, the soldiers discovered some evidence proving that the cult was in collusion with underground forces in other places. They found some letters that contained plans with other gangs on how to expand their influence and defraud more money. Captain Liu frowned. It seemed that this matter had come to an end for the time being, but there were still many potential dangers. He put the letters away and said to Wang Dahai, "It seems that we can't let our guard down. These evil cult remnants may make more moves. Report the situation in detail to the Governor-General so that he can make preparations early."
Wang Dahai nodded and went to get ready. After dealing with these matters, Captain Liu and Wang Dahai led the soldiers away from the cult stronghold. Elsewhere in the city, some people who had come into contact with the cult began to panic. They were worried that they would be implicated, and some began packing their bags and preparing to flee. A gangster-like man was hastily packing his things in his shabby house, muttering, "It's over now. All the members of that evil cult are dead. If they find out that I have any contact with them, I'll be finished too!" Just then, someone knocked on the door. The gangster was so frightened that he trembled. He walked to the door carefully, looked out through the crack, and found a few strange big men. He asked nervously, "Who are you?" The people outside responded: "We are here to talk to you, open the door!" The gangster hesitated for a moment, but still opened the door. As soon as he opened the door, he was covered with his mouth by the big men and dragged into the house. One of the big men said to the hooligans viciously: "If you dare not tell the truth, don't blame us for being rude! What kind of deal did that evil cult have with you?" The gangster turned pale with fright and immediately told everything he knew. On the other side, Captain Liu and Wang Dahai returned to the City Lord's Mansion, wrote a detailed report on the process of destroying the evil cult, and sent someone to give it to Xia Yuanji...
