Chapter 768: The Incompetent and Furious Zhong Liwu, the Skeleton Transforms Into a Protector [6,000 Words]

"While you are in seclusion, the Queen Mother and God of War Orange has issued the highest-level war mobilization order, forcibly recruiting all soul masters with manufacturing capabilities across the country to come to Mingdu."

"In addition, the Sun and Moon Empire has given up all occupied territories, and all armies have gathered in the direction of the Mingdou Mountains, preparing for the war with the Undead Empire."

"The Immortal Empire." Zhong Liwu murmured, and then asked very calmly, "Is there any other news?"

Zhang Peng gritted his teeth and said: "I tried to send disciples from the sect to the territory of the original Douluo Three Kingdoms to find out information, but no one has returned so far. I suspect that they may have been killed."

"The Eternal God Religion, which has always been against us before, believes in the main god of light and immortality, Qian Chaoguang himself. The gods such as the Ice God, the Sun God, and the God of War are the guys from Shrek Academy who were around him before."

"In other words, in order to check and balance us, these idiots at the top of the Sun and Moon Empire have completely allowed the enemy to grow under our noses, and they have also developed! Now all over the continent are the eyes of the Immortal Empire."

"During the decisive battle in Star Luo City that day, Qian Chaoguang raised his arms and called out, and countless soldiers of the Sun and Moon Army turned against each other on the spot. There were even cases where several soul master legions formally surrendered to the enemy."

"Leader, please come up with an idea quickly! The Sun and Moon Empire looks like it is dying!"

"Well, I understand."

Zhong Liwu said lightly, and then suddenly disappeared.

Seeing that the moody leader of the Holy Spirit Sect had left, the string in Zhang Peng's heart suddenly relaxed, and he slumped on the spot and panted heavily.

A ninety-seventh-level super Douluo is now as happy as a mortal, happy that he was not killed casually as an object to vent his anger.

Just when Zhang Peng had just recovered a little and was about to go back to his room to continue drinking.

In the central building of the Holy Spirit Church headquarters in Mingdu, a terrifying aura suddenly erupted.

What followed was not only a deafening and terrifying sound, but also a terrifying earthquake that shook the earth and the mountains.

Streams of terrifying black air rising into the sky like volcanic eruptions, constantly washing away everything around them.

That was Zhong Liwu venting his anger.

Originally, before he went into seclusion, he was happily waiting for the Sun and Moon Empire to complete its unification, and then the Holy Spirit Cult would pick the fruits.

The result is now good, everything is suddenly over.

The good situation collapsed instantly.

When he entered, he was a winner in life, a future ruler of the continent with a bright future, and the leader of the Holy Spirit Cult who was about to replace the Sun and Moon Royal Family as the new emperor.

But when he came out, he was alone.

Wife, mother, uncle, disciple, subordinate.

Everything was reduced to ashes, nothing was left.

Even nine out of ten of the elite members of the Holy Spirit Sect were all killed in that decisive battle in Star Luo City.

This is the wealth that the entire Holy Spirit Church has accumulated over thousands of years!

Almost all of them were sent out in one wave.

Now in the Sun and Moon Empire, although there are still some evil spirit masters left, what can the more than a thousand people left do?

There is only one Super Douluo left, Scorpion Tiger Douluo Zhang Peng, and only two titled Douluo.

Is it possible for people like this to become cannon fodder on the battlefield of Mingdou Mountains?

Zhong Liwu smashed everything in the house.

In a rage, he turned all the furnishings into powder.

After venting his anger, he slumped down on the spot, his slightly old face already covered with tears.

It is true that Zhong Liwu is an evil soul master.

But just because he's evil and cruel, that doesn't mean he's an emotionless killing machine.

He is also a human being, with a heart and feelings.

The dream of ruling the continent was shattered, the death of his lover and mother, the death of Long Xiaoyao who treated him like a son, and the disappearance of tens of thousands of followers of the Holy Spirit Sect.

These were a huge blow to Zhong Liwu.

Before the retreat, he was confident that he could break through the limits.

Halfway through the retreat, I found that I seemed unable to complete the condensation and control of the second soul core.

As a result, just when he was about to fail, the energy of heaven and earth suddenly surged, helping him stabilize, and finally achieved the ultimate Douluo cultivation level.

Unexpectedly, just when he was at his most energetic, he heard the bad news reported by Zhang Peng as soon as he came out.

Under such great joy and sorrow, Zhong Liwu's spirit almost collapsed.

Now he has become a loner!

During the intense ups and downs of emotions, the two soul cores that were originally in perfect resonance almost lost their position, causing him to fall into the realm of Extreme Douluo.

But I have to admit that Zhong Liwu's mentality is still very strong.

The next day when he saw Zhong Liwu with a cold face as if nothing happened, he kept thinking, how did the other party survive last night?

If he had received such a huge blow, he would have been depressed for a year and a half.

After his Soul Saint disciple was killed by Qian Chaoguang on the field, it took him half a year to recover.

Then turning grief and anger into motivation, this ability has recently been promoted to level ninety-seven.

However, no matter how many levels he has now, it is useless.

The Holy Spirit Religion is destined to be unable to make waves again.

Zhong Liwu had already made up his mind to cut off the gecko's tail to survive.

They no longer interfere with the affairs of the Sun and Moon Empire, but shrink their power in an all-round way and hide it with the partners of the Holy Spirit Sect.

Then slowly accumulate strength, resume the original path, and wait for the opportunity.

"The Holy Spirit Religion is shrinking its power? This is very convenient for me. Very good, very good."

After reading the message from Zhang Bowen, Qian Chaoguang sneered and said two very good things in a row.

"How are the evil soul masters in the original Douluo territory handled?"

"All have been processed, and now they are all sent to the prison area to be cows." Zhang Bowen replied with a smile, "There are high-level undead creatures to help scan the power of death's breath. These rats can catch every one and hide wherever they go. It doesn’t work.”

"Well, it's much quieter this way." Qian Chaoguang nodded slightly, "Nana, half a month has passed since the founding ceremony. How is the reception progress now? How satisfied are the people with us?"

Nana's tired voice came from the soul connection: "The progress is faster than we expected. At present, all small cities and villages have been fully integrated into the empire's management system."

"Administrative regions at the levels of medium-sized cities, large cities, main cities, etc. will need more time to fully receive it."

"After all, these are not problems that I can solve by working overtime. We have limited manpower, and there are too many things that need to be sorted and summarized. The Sun and Moon Empire left a lot of mess when they ran away, and even a lot of information was burned."

"According to the current progress, if nothing unexpected happens, all medium-sized cities can be included in the ruling system by the end of this month, and the big cities and main cities will be at least around the middle to late next month."

Qian Chaoguang coughed twice in embarrassment: "Ahem, what's that? It's hard work. After this busy period passes, Xiaotong will be able to take time out of the army to help with government affairs."

"Your Majesty, I have eaten a lot of cakes." Nana said quietly, "After we conquer the Sun and Moon Empire, we will conquer the God Realm. After conquering the God Realm, we will also go on an expedition to other planes. The God Queen can return to the ruling system. It’s weird to come in”

"Unless you plan to personally manage the army in the future, with the number of people in the underworld, even if the Queen God prepares the army with Caitou, Xiao Xiao, Mo Xuan, and Luo Li, she will definitely be busy in the future."

"Emmmm, it shouldn't be... right?" Qian Chaoguang was speechless for a moment.

Nana continued to complain: "Actually, the five of them are already very busy now. The entire combat readiness system requires the queen to take charge of the overall situation, and the remaining personnel training and other matters are shared among the four of them."

“This is based on the fact that the Snow Emperor helps you manage the Far North Soul Beast, Di Tian helps you manage the Star Fighting Soul Beast, Mr. Electrolux helps you manage New Continent No. 1, and the God of Holy Light helps you manage New Continent No. 2. "

"Not everyone has your terrifying mental power that can multi-task, and can even consolidate combat, scientific research, and cultivation. My Majesty! We really have too few manpower now!"

Zhang Bowen was so happy listening to Nana's complaints in the soul connection.

Qian Chaoguang really couldn't refute, he could only pinch his nose and listen to Nana's little complaints.

As Nana said, although the Immortal Empire is moving fast, its manpower is really limited.

It used to be okay when the country had not yet been officially established and undead creatures still accounted for the majority. There were not so many things that needed to be solved. Most of them were just matters related to the Pixiu Chamber of Commerce that needed to be dealt with.

But as the Immortal Empire began to gradually take over the territory of the original Douluo Three Kingdoms, the disadvantages of insufficient manpower became apparent.

Although it is not to the extent of a crisis, it is true that the talent pool at the grassroots level is somewhat cramped, causing everyone to be busy.

If it hadn't been for the Holy Fire of the Undead, which has always been able to provide reference anytime and anywhere, I'm afraid such rapid expansion would have been really messy.

No, Huo Yutong had already taken the other four people to train the group of people who had just surrendered with the Holy Fire of the Undead.

The purpose is to enable them to skillfully operate various equipment and cooperate with other arms of the Undead Empire before the war begins.

The reason why Qian Chaoguang notified the Sun and Moon Empire to attack them after three months was because of the people's livelihood and military reasons.

Once the territory is occupied, it is not yours.

Only when it is fully digested is it yours.

Fortunately, he had paved the way to the Pixiu Chamber of Commerce and the Eternal God Sect many years in advance.

After the change of government, it will appease people's hearts!

Everyone has done this once and has sufficient practical experience.

And this time, they were executing orders for their own political power. Both parties were even more motivated, and both devoted their energy to helping the new city lords who came to take over to manage the city.

Every time the Undead Empire takes over a new city, there is one thing that must be done.

That is to play the recorded video of the founding ceremony to the people in the city and all surrounding villages.

It has to be said that Qian Chaoguang's impassioned "Essay on Claiming the Sun and Moon Empire" was recognized by many knowledgeable people, who spontaneously explained it to the people around him who didn't understand what was going on.

In this way, the undead empire's takeover of rule became very smooth.

After the absolute force value control of the golden skeletons and gray-bone skeletons, as well as the two-pronged appeasement of the Pixiu Chamber of Commerce and the Eternal God Sect, the people easily accepted these skeletons with golden light on their bodies.

Due to the principle of the uncanny valley, it is inevitable that many people will tremble with fear when they see undead creatures for the first time.

But as long as they have close contact and feel the strong and soothing holy light on their bodies, the fear and resistance in most people's hearts will be gone.

That kind of quiet and peaceful feeling can be felt by everyone.

Later, in conjunction with the heroic spirit theory promoted by the Eternal God Cult, now when people see the gray skeletons patrolling the streets, they will even take the initiative to say hello or something.

Some brave ones will even take the initiative to talk to those silver skeletons and gold skeletons who can communicate, and try to chat a few words.

In those larger cities, it is inevitable that there will be some dark sides and forces similar to the underworld.

Before the Undead Empire came, ordinary soldiers mostly had nothing to do with these rats in the gutter.

But the undead creatures don't care about that.

The Silver Skeleton led the team and scanned directly in front of the head with soul power.

If anyone is found to be violating the law and discipline, he will be immediately arrested on the spot.

Want to argue with the undead?

Impossible, there is no chance for quibbles.

A direct search of the memory showed all the crimes immediately in the eyes of the silver skeletons.

Don’t be too quick when looking for evidence of crime along the criminal’s own criminal record.

What then greets these rogues is a public trial process and a "cow" career that lasts from several years to ten years, decades, or hundreds of years.

Many criminals are not even caught after committing crimes.

These clever guys often hide away when the news of a change of government is tight, and are ready to wait until the limelight has passed.

But.

The efficiency of the Silver Skulls in solving crimes is unimaginable to these social scum.

Often you just need to patrol the streets with your soul scanner on.

As long as you catch one, you can pluck out a large number of clues from the other person's memory.

Then, based on this long list, he continues to touch around bit by bit, and in one go, nine out of ten evildoers in the city can be picked out and put on trial.

Undead creatures don't need to worry about the so-called forces that are entangled and check and balance each other.

With absolute force value, who would play all these twists and turns with you?

Is there someone powerful who dares to help these evil people?

This will cause the Golden Skeletons to personally lead a team to arrest and take away all the criminals and those who harbor the criminals.

What is this sect or that family?

No matter how powerful you are, can you surpass the Golden Skeleton?

Do you have enough money and ability to live in the Pixiu Chamber of Commerce?

If there really were Titled Douluo-level beings in this gang, they wouldn't do such despicable things to make a fortune.

Under this unprecedented mass arrest, the number of "cows" in the Immortal Empire surged, and the output of soul crystals greatly increased.

Within the entire original Douluo area, the crime rate dropped to a terrifying zero percent in just half a month.

The efficiency of the skeletons in arresting people and bringing them to trial is simply too high.

In some cities with many criminals, the Silver Skull has just arrested someone here, and the previous round of trials on the public trial platform has not yet ended.

They also have to let the gray skeletons hold people down and wait in line behind them.

Under such an extremely efficient purge, the people's resistance to the undead is rapidly declining at an extremely terrifying speed.

The skeletons that were originally terrifying in their eyes have now become like protective gods and become more and more friendly.

As long as they see skeletons patrolling slowly at their doorsteps or on the streets, people will feel extremely at ease.

If you don’t do bad things, you won’t be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door.

Honest and good people will only feel a strong sense of security when they see the selfless skeletons.

Who doesn’t like a skeleton who helps catch bad guys and often helps out?

Except that most skeletons are slow and slow to do anything when they are not performing tasks, this is simply a perfect protector.

As for how the villains felt when they saw the skeletons?

Then I'm afraid all that's left is fright and fear.

There are a few criminals who are very lucky and have not been discovered. They have made up their mind to change their evil ways, wash their hands in a golden basin, change their minds and behave well in the future.

I will never dare to do anything illegal or disciplined again.

Faced with the arrests of the original officers, soldiers, and police officers, it was possible to clear his name and escape without incident.

When facing a skeleton, once you commit a crime, just wait to be caught and wait for the outcome of the trial.

There is no possibility of escape.

The result of trying to find a protective umbrella.

That is, being caught with the umbrella and the umbrella that protects the umbrella.

"Grandpa, do we really want to join Qian Chaoguang?"

In the Tiandou City Palace, Meng Hongchen couldn't help but ask Jing Hongchen who was packing his luggage.

Jing Hongchen stopped packing his belongings and turned around to sit on an imperial chair.

He looked at his worried granddaughter and sighed: "Otherwise, what else can we do?"

Two days ago, the leader of the Evil Lord Soul Instructor Group who was responsible for delivering orders finally arrived at Tiandou City, put down Orange's order and ran away.

Jing Hongchen struggled for a long time, and finally decided to defect to the Immortal Empire with his whole family.

After losing the means of ultra-long-distance communication, the Sun-Moon Empire needed to use manpower to transmit messages. This speed was extremely slow compared to the Immortal Empire, which used soul networks to communicate.

Simply flying in a straight line, the ninth-level soul master borrowed the flying soul guide, and it was no problem to fly back and forth between the two ends of the continent in two days.

But sending messages is not a simple addition and subtraction.

They need to go around one city after another, convey the order to the local governor, and then take off again to rush to the next destination.

As a matter of fact, the news that the founding ceremony of the Immortal Empire was completed had already reached Jing Hongchen's ears for three days.

The leader of the Evil Lord Soul Instructor Group finally arrived out of breath and delivered Orange's orders and frontline battle report.

He rushed from the southern end of the mainland to the northern end of the mainland and passed through a large number of cities. The messenger didn't even bother to take a rest and traveled day and night.

But even so, this news still has a huge delay.

Before the leader of the Evil Lord Soul Instructor Group arrived, Jing Hongchen had been thinking about this matter.

After hearing the news about the founding of the Immortal Empire, he even secretly went to the Eternal God Religion to watch the founding ceremony.

In this way, although he was still struggling, in fact he just couldn't get over the last hurdle in his heart.

In any case, their Hongchen family can be considered a famous family in the Sun and Moon Empire.

Just like this, before the war between the two countries, the whole family defected. Once word spread, it would have a bad reputation and would be stabbed in the spine.

After hearing the news from his own people and Ju Zi's desperate order, Jing Hongchen finally made up his mind.

There's no way around it.

Unless you die in battle, you will have to surrender sooner or later.

So why not earlier?

The expression on Meng Hongchen's face was a bit unsightly: "Grandpa, does our Sun and Moon Empire really have no chance of winning?"

"No, not at all." Jing Hongchen shook his head, "As the Immortal Empire's recruiting target, we got more news and inside information in advance."

"Look at the current sentiment of the people in the city and the comparison of strength between the two sides. How can we afford a fight? To put it bluntly, the Immortal Empire is not in a hurry to launch an attack, but it just wants us to be convinced that we have lost."

Having said this, Jing Hongchen sighed again.

In the recent period, Tiandou City can be said to have undergone earth-shaking changes.

On the day after the leader of the Evil Lord Soul Instructor Group left, a large group of undead creatures appeared out of nowhere and quickly took control of all the personnel of the Sun and Moon Empire.

Under the absolute force of suppression, these people belonging to the Sun and Moon Empire either chose to surrender on the spot, submit after signing a soul contract, and then serve for the Immortal Empire.

Or take two weeks of rations and the travel expenses needed to return, leave the city immediately, and leave in the direction of the Sun and Moon Empire.

Juzi, who was far away in the Mingdou Mountains, had no idea that most of the ruling officials and soldiers in the cities that were notified later were deliberately let go by the Undead Empire.

This is a kind of humiliation for Orange, and it is also a manifestation of the Immortal Empire's extreme confidence in its own strength.

It is to tell the Sun and Moon Empire clearly that no matter what methods you use, you can't win if you can't win with hard power.

You can operate the game in a single blow. If you have the ability, you can also try to operate me?

Obviously, Orange and the Sun and Moon Empire do not have this ability.

If it weren't for the fact that the Immortal Empire was currently short of manpower, Qian Chaoguang would have wanted to arrange some transportation for these people to be transported directly to the Mingdou Mountains.

The expression on Tangerine’s face is sure to be wonderful.

Unfortunately, not many people can do this.

Under this extremely humiliating "siege of the city and territory", some people who were not determined enough chose to surrender and submit to the Immortal Empire.

There were also some hard-core people who received travel expenses and rations, and followed the path drawn for them by the Immortal Empire, heading towards their own country.

As the Hongchen family who was personally recruited by Qian Chaoguang, they gained some small privileges.

The undead creatures did not make things difficult for them, but gave them enough time to make their own choices. (End of chapter)
