Chapter 38 The Impending Crisis

In the best mountaintop villa in Maoshan City, a group of people are holding some special banquet.

Sitting right in the front of the hall was a middle-aged man with short hair, a square face, a kind smile, and a silver-gray robe that made him look dignified and stylish.

This person is Yang Shun, the holy father of the Tianxin Sect. He gave himself the Buddhist name Master Yuanzhi.

An underground sect was created before the end of the world and has been secretly recruiting believers and expanding its influence.

When the end of the world came, most of the local officials died in disaster relief, and the Tianxin Sect quickly took control of Maoshan City.

Holy Father Master Yuanzhi led nearly a thousand violent believers, spent half a month, used all kinds of cruel means, and finally became a local tyrant with real power.

At this moment, he was sitting on a dragon throne carved from mahogany, enjoying the scene in front of him with a comfortable expression.

Several young girls dressed lightly, with numb expressions, poured wine for him, massaged him, and served him attentively.

On his left and right sides, two middle-aged people, a man and a woman, sat on slightly inferior armchairs.

One of these two people is Tian Erni, the left protector of Tianxin Sect, who is responsible for recruiting believers and brainwashing everyone, as well as collecting young girls to serve as "god servants" for the Holy Father.

The other one with a sinister face was the right protector, Boss Du, who was in charge of matters related to force and equipment. Boss Du played an indispensable role in the quick capture of Maoshan City.

On both sides of the three men, there were two rows of ordinary tables and chairs, where many ferocious-looking bandits sat, drinking, playing finger-guessing games, chatting and eating, and then watching the tragic scene in the center of the hall with cold eyes.

On the floor in the middle of the hall, several tied-up young men were rolling around wailing in excruciating pain because they had been injected with some kind of drug.

They cried bitterly and begged for mercy, but those who were sitting in high seats feasting and enjoying themselves were not moved at all.

Torturing prisoners is their favorite program. There is no way they would let them go just because of a few pleas for mercy.

Boss Du smiled grimly, pointed at the prisoners and said:

"Tianxin Sect allows people to enter but not leave, and does not tolerate betrayal. This is the fate of any defector!"

"Whoever dares to have any evil thoughts, hide them well and don't let me know, otherwise - hehe!"

He didn't finish his words, but everyone understood.

The church was worried about having too many members and too little food, so they were naturally ruthless in eliminating the traitors.

This killing of the chicken to scare the monkey is to warn all those who want to escape from Maoshan City.

Once you join the church, you must dedicate everything to the Holy Father, and you are not allowed to leave even if you starve to death.

Several young people who were wailing in pain died soon after. Their death from poisoning with blood coming out of all their orifices was horrifying.

The hall suddenly became quiet for a moment, and a strange atmosphere spread.

Upon seeing this, Tian Hufa gently comforted everyone:

"The Holy Father will not mistreat any of the loyal believers. The great Tianxin Patriarch will protect us!"

"Look at those poor souls whose families have been torn apart in the last days. That's because they have no faith."

"Ancestor Tianxin is the only true God, and Holy Father is His appointed spokesperson."

"We must support and protect the Holy Father, otherwise the true God will abandon us and leave us to be swallowed up by the end of the world!"

"Respect our ancestors Tianxin and praise the Holy Father. Only then will the true God grant us food, allowing us to survive the end of the world, overcome difficulties, and head toward a beautiful new world together!"

Those present have heard these words over and over again many times.

You may not care much at first, and don't think you will be brainwashed by just a few words.

But over time, with too many repetitions, some things will become hypnotic spells.

Like a spiritual brand, it is deeply engraved in the mind, turning all those who think they are sober into the same kind.

At this moment, the gangsters present seemed to have been triggered by some switch.

Their expressions all became serious, as if they were really facing a god.

They all stood up at the same time, reverently placed their right hands on their left shoulders, and said to Master Yuanzhi, who was at the top, "Praise the Holy Father!"

The three people sitting on the high seats nodded with satisfaction, and Protector Tian even showed a smug smile.

She has mastered the skills of speaking and knows how to use her voice to be more contagious.

Who would have thought that an ordinary housewife would end up like this?

The taste of power is really wonderful!

The dead defector was dragged out for cremation, and the people in the hall ate, drank and enjoyed themselves as usual as if nothing had happened.

A younger brother came in hurriedly, holding a few printed photos, and reported to them:

"There are outsiders approaching the port waters of Maoshan City, and they have sent several drones to the city to investigate. Their yacht is very luxurious, and it seems that they must be a fat sheep!"

The three people sitting in the upper seats instantly became alert and took the photos and checked them one by one.

These photos were taken with a long-range telescope. The pixels are not high, but they are enough to clearly see the faces of the people on the ship.

None of the three leaders knew the person in the photo, so they asked people to circulate it to see if anyone knew the origin of the yacht owner.

After a while, one of the gangsters who were discussing this matter said, "I know who they are."

A young man stood up and walked to the center of the hall with the photo.

He was tall and had a rugged face, with an ugly scar running across his left eyebrow.

His blind left eye was covered with a black cloth, and he walked with a slight limp.

If Pei Hao saw him, he would definitely recognize that this person was Luo Yihui who threw him into the water.

He escaped from the flood with great difficulty and fled to Maoshan City with injuries.

At that time, the person who was traveling with him, Fang Hao, had died due to serious infection from his injuries, but the coward Ding Jiacheng was still alive and well.

He Jingjing was also safe and sound, but after coming here, he offered her to Master Yuanzhi as a "divine servant". Now, she is clinging to the Holy Father and lives a more comfortable life than him.

Luo Yihui hated Pei Hao and was even jealous of him when he was in school.

Both of them are 19-year-old college students. They are still struggling to cope with their junior year studies, but Pei Hao has already completed his credits, graduated by skipping a grade, and even been admitted to the graduate school of the best university.

Looking at these photos now, it is obvious that Pei Hao has been reunited with the Pei family.

He has all his limbs intact, is free and happy, and enjoys the best materials and life without any worries.

This cruel end of the world seemed to have no effect on him.

But why?

How is Luo Yihui inferior to Pei Hao?

Why was he the only one to end up in such a miserable state?

Maoshan City was not a place where one could come and go easily. The most vicious forces were entrenched in this land.

It's time for Pei Hao to experience real hell.

Thinking of this, Luo Yihui looked at Master Yuanzhi and said,

"This is the yacht of the Pei family in Beidu. The people in the photo are the brothers Pei Yan and Pei Hao."

"It is the Pei family, which has a strong background and is rich enough to rival a country. They own the world's most powerful Tianzhou Group. Pei Yan is the current president of the group. The two most important male descendants of the Pei family are now on this ship!"

These words are very inspiring and clearly tell everyone what a rare and fat opportunity this is.

The key point is that this fat sheep is alone and unprotected, while their Tianxin Sect has thousands of people!

What fool would miss such a good opportunity?

Master Yuanzhi immediately laughed out loud: "Great! It's a good time! Let's go and welcome Mr. Pei from Tianzhou Group now."

He put his arm around Luo Yihui's shoulder and walked out, impatiently starting to mobilize personnel.

"Xiao Luo, you have a bright future! If you can accomplish this, the Holy Father will not treat you unfairly."

"Tell me the details of the Pei family's yacht, and we'll study how to attack..."
