Chapter 2519: Chapter 109: Not Sharing This Moon, Nor Any Other Day!
"Ridiculous." Duke Huai of Great Chu furrowed his brow, "So young, and already speaking of the entire Southern Territory, who do you think you are?"
"Grandfather!" Zuo Guangshu said with reddened eyes, "Brother Jiang, he..."
Zuo Xiao merely extended his hand and said, "Give me the letter."
Reluctantly, Zuo Guangshu handed over the letter he was holding.
"Where did this letter come from?" Zuo Xiao unfolded it with one hand, reading as he asked.
Zuo Guangshu replied, "Brother Jiang delivered it to the Cliff of Celestial Punishment and Jing Country Mirror World Platform, demanding that the Church of Lifeless be declared a cult and called upon the world to suppress it... I had someone copy a version to send to us..."
"Enough, don’t involve yourself in this matter anymore, stay at home and read your books!" Zuo Xiao folded the letter, having just returned from the court meeting, he turned and left the house again.
"Mother!" Once Grandfather had vanished from sight, Zuo Guangshu irritably said, "What does the old man mean by this? I cannot ignore Brother Jiang’s affairs."
"Alright. Listen to your grandfather, go and study." Xiong Jingyu patted Zuo Guangshu’s head gently, "If your grandfather won’t handle it, I will enter the palace."
Never mind how the Young Master of Great Chu flipped through books endlessly, unable to immerse himself, or how he wandered aimlessly in the Taixu Illusion Realm, in the end writing nothing...
Before the sun had set that day, an imperial decree from the Great Chu Empire announced to the world.
The Chu Country, one of the Overlord Countries, officially declared the Church of Lifeless as a cult, and of the most malicious kind, ordering nationwide extermination.
Those who spread the teachings of this sect to a scale of more than twenty people were deemed equivalent to murderers. Those who turned a blind eye to the Church of Lifeless’s missionary activities and failed to report them in a timely manner were also held accountable.
The Huai Nation Government House specifically placed a bounty on the heads of various leaders within the Church of Lifeless, with rewards for slaying core followers available not only at the Wu’an Marquis Mansion and Marquis of Boxiang’s Mansion in Qi Country but also at the Huai Nation Government House in Great Chu.
In an instant, the Southern Territory was shaken.
The followers of the Church of Lifeless were publicly reviled, and even a small orthodox Daoist temple named "Little No Phase Life and Death View," merely sharing a similar nomenclature, was smashed by agitated citizens.
This vigorous campaign to eradicate the Church of Lifeless originated from Deer Frost County in Qi Country and, with the support of the Wu’an Marquis Mansion and Marquis of Boxiang’s Mansion, began to affect the entire nation and even the Eastern Region.
Beyond the Eastern Region, the Great Chu Empire was the first to respond, declaring the Church of Lifeless a cult and ordering nationwide extermination.
At this moment, Mugu also released information that the Church of Lifeless had once wreaked havoc on the grasslands, desecrating the highest deities, classifying it as a "must be eradicated" cult, proclaiming that "wherever the light of the God of Cangtu shines, the evil of No Life cannot be tolerated."
Pavilion Master Si Yu’an of Sword Pavilion publicly stated that Marquis Wu’an was a very polite young man, and he held great expectations for Marquis Wu’an’s future. If he happened to encounter those little rats of the Church of Lifeless, he wouldn’t mind making some extra earnings.
And Legalist Grandmaster Wu Bingyi’s public statement—mentioning Lin Youxie, a disciple yet to enter Palace of the Palace, listing Zhang Linchuan’s name on the execution list, calling on all Legalist disciples to kill him—further turned the Church of Lifeless into a public scourge!
Zhang Linchuan could never have foreseen that the Jiang Shidi he once duped and manipulated had now gained such enormous influence.
A mere sheet of paper, bearing the name of Marquis Wu’an, carried the weight of a thousand tons.
With just the release of an open letter, there was no longer any place for the Church of Lifeless to exist in the Eastern and Southern Territories, Mugu, and the Chu Country!
Within just a few days, half of his Earth Fiends had already been killed or injured. Even the Guardian Dharma King, Winged Ghost, had fallen into an ambush and narrowly escaped disaster.
A large number of followers renounced the faith, like a landslide, devastating its missionary endeavors.
This was not only a setback for their cause but directly affected his personal cultivation, transcendent power, at a critical moment when he was still wounded by Zhongxuan Chuliang!
It seemed as if overnight, the Church of Lifeless, which had spread in the dark through the World Without Life with tentacles almost reaching the entire realm, now faced the danger of collapse!
In terms of law, the Church of Lifeless had already been characterized, the righteous sects would not tolerate the growth of heretic sects, and within the national order, cults were absolutely not allowed to exist.
And Jiang Wang, with a reward of twenty thousand Prime Stones plus the promise of a full-strength effort...
As of today.
He, the founder of the Church of Lifeless, who was three-in-one, now not only had to be wary of external dangers but even within the core of the sect, some eyes were also greedily glowing with hunger!
