Two Worlds: The Demon Cultivator Mistakenly Enters the Lord's World

Chapter 150 The Sky of Hongze County

Lu Feng could only fully trust the Taoists of Yu Chan Temple if they joined the territory of Xuan Yin Temple, offered their loyalty, and were completely controlled by him.

Otherwise, no matter how close the relationship or how good the personal friendship, to Lu Feng, he would just be an outsider.

The most obvious example is Akaleya of the Golden Eagle Territory.

Lu Feng and Akaleya have a close relationship where they know each other's strengths and weaknesses, but there is always an unfathomable barrier between them, and they have not yet reached the point of truly opening their hearts to each other.

Before breaking through this barrier, Lu Feng would definitely not reveal everything about himself to Akalia, nor would he bring Akalia, who was already a 2-star lord, to the cultivation world.

Even the cultivation techniques and spells of the immortal cultivation world are something Akalia can never learn.

With the battle over and the successful surrender of all the Foundation Establishment cultivators of Yu Chan Temple, the remnants of the Five Elements Sect's branch residence also fell completely under Lu Feng's control. All that remained was to handle some post-war matters and bring Hongze County completely under the jurisdiction of Xuan Yin Temple.

"The protective array and the spiritual spring inside this Five Elements Sect's villa are still well preserved. It would be best to bring this villa back to the Xuan Yin Temple!"

Lu Feng pondered how to deal with the Five Elements Sect's separate residence.

This Five Elements Sect's separate residence is fully equipped. After some tidying up, it would be perfect as the current mountain gate of the Xuan Yin Temple. With the Five Elements Suppressing Spirit Array as its protective array, it would be just right.

However, this villa is rooted in the local soil and is thousands of miles away from the Xuan Yin Temple's main gate, so moving it back to Xuan Yin Temple would be quite difficult.

"My lord, our Jade Cicada Temple does possess the means to drive away mountains and dragons. The matter of relocating the villa can be entrusted to our Jade Cicada Temple!"

As soon as Lu Feng brought up the matter of relocating the other residence, Yu Chan Daoist, who had just joined the territory, stepped forward eagerly.

Upon hearing this, Lu Feng was overjoyed.

He needs someone like Daoist Yuchan, who is clever, resourceful, and proactive.

"Very well, the matter of relocating the detached residence will be handled by your Jade Cicada Temple! Do it well, do it beautifully!"

Lu Feng patted Yu Chan Dao Ren on the shoulder, entrusting him with the important task of relocating the other residence.

Having received the mission, Daoist Yu Chan led the Foundation Establishment cultivators of Yu Chan Temple to explore the geomantic veins of the Five Elements Sect's branch residence and plan for the subsequent relocation of the branch residence.

Meanwhile, Lu Feng went into the Bone Spire to deal with the remaining seriously injured Foundation Establishment stage monks of Chongfu Temple.

Arrive at the skeleton cage in the tower of bones.

The monk Kurong, along with four other severely injured monks from Chongfu Temple, were controlled and suppressed by the skeleton, losing some of their ability to resist.

There were also more than a dozen 2-star undead creatures guarding the side, to prevent the monks of Chongfu Temple from hiding any trump cards and launching an unexpected counterattack.

Lu Feng arrived with his men.

Upon hearing the voice, the sealed monk Ku Rong raised his head with difficulty, his eyes filled with hatred as he glared at Lu Feng.

Using the other residence as a pretext, Lu Feng captured all the Foundation Establishment monks of Chongfu Temple. Without the Foundation Establishment monks, no matter how much wealth or how many monks Chongfu Temple had, it was nothing more than fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of others.

Lu Feng destroyed everything at Chongfu Temple. If given the chance, the monk Kurong would love to drink Lu Feng's blood and eat his flesh.

However, the naturally cautious Lu Feng would never give the monk Kurong such an opportunity.

"Judging from the hatred in your eyes, you're probably not going to surrender to me. So, do you guys want a chance to live?"

Ignoring the hatred in the eyes of the monk Ku Rong, Lu Feng looked at the four severely injured monks of Chongfu Temple beside him with a cold smile.

"Bah! Surrender to you? You demon who cultivates the Blood Path Demon Art, you think you can make me surrender? No way! Even if I die and my soul returns to paradise, I will still slay demons and eliminate evil!"

Hearing Lu Feng's words, one of the monks, with a square face, glared angrily, spat a mouthful of blood at Lu Feng, and cursed loudly.

The mouthful of blood was still flying in the air when it was caught by a wisp of black smoke. Xu Zhihe, who had transformed into a 2-star undead creature, urged the black gourd to faithfully guard Lu Feng's side.

"This guy's got some tough bones! Not bad, let's give him a quick death, so he can die more completely and be used to make a Vajra Corpse!"

A cold glint flashed in Lu Feng's eyes, and the undead creature guarding him quickly made its move, unleashing a shriek of death. The power of death filled the sharp sound waves, aimed directly at the stubborn monk from Chongfu Temple in front of him.

With all his power sealed, the Foundation Establishment monk of Chongfu Temple could not withstand the power of the wailing of the dead. Blood flowed from his seven orifices, and he died with his eyes wide open.

He died a quick and painless death, and his body was well preserved.

"Necromancer!"

With a wave of his hand, Lu Feng unleashed the death power from the Bone Spire, which converged from all directions and frantically burrowed into the still-warm body of the high monk, transforming it, igniting its soul fire, and recruiting it into an undead creature.

After a while.

With a series of cracking sounds as bones rubbed together, the bone cage was released, and the Vajra Corpse, with silvery soul fire burning within its skull, slowly emerged from the cage, respectfully approaching Lu Feng and kneeling on one knee.

"Greetings, Lord!"

The Vajra Corpse's icy voice emanated from the soul fire, chilling the four Chongfu Temple monks who witnessed everything to the bone.

"Demon cultivator, demon cultivator! How dare you desecrate the corpse of a high monk! Don't think you're invincible just because Chongfu Temple fell to you this time! You only defeated the Buddhist forces in Hongze County. Liang Kingdom has twenty-six counties, and the Buddhist forces are spread throughout every county. Your desecration of Buddhism today will definitely incur their wrath. I await the day you go to hell!"

Seeing his companion transformed into a zombie-like being called a Vajra Corpse, the monk Ku Rong was furious, but could only let out a roar of resentment.

"Liang Kingdom, ha! One day I will bring all of Liang Kingdom's land under the control of my Xuan Yin Temple. The Buddhist sect of Liang Kingdom is nothing but a stumbling block on the path of my Xuan Yin Temple's progress!"

Lu Feng ignored the curses of the monk Ku Rong. He walked up to the monk and slapped him on the bald head, completely shattering his mind and spirit.

With blood flowing from all seven orifices, a "high monk" of Chongfu Temple, who was in the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, perished in the white bone cage of the Bone Spire.

Of course, after killing the withered monk, the three remaining early-stage Foundation Establishment monks in the nearby skeleton cage all showed expressions of terror.

Lu Feng's ruthlessness and methods exceeded their expectations. They felt that if they continued to be stubborn, they would only face death.

It's not worth it. To die for Chongfu Temple and for Buddhism is truly not worth it!

When Lu Feng's cold gaze fell upon them, the three monks, who were in the early stages of Foundation Establishment, quickly made the right choice.

"Master Lu, we are willing to surrender. Please give us another chance. We are truly willing to surrender!"

If their bodies weren't bound by the skeleton cage, these three monks from Chongfu Temple would have knelt at Lu Feng's feet, weeping and begging him for a chance to surrender.

Lu Feng was always merciful to enemies who were eager to join his army, and he readily agreed to their surrender request.

【Huixin-2 Star Whiteboard】 【Huiming-2 Star Whiteboard】

【Huiyuan-2 Star Whiteboard】

By recruiting three 2-star, unranked Foundation Establishment monks into his ranks, Lu Feng has gained three more 2-star combatants.

Although they were seriously injured, as long as they returned to the Xuan Yin Temple and recuperated under the life halo of the Tree Man for a while, their injuries would gradually heal.

Once they recover from their injuries, they will once again be high-ranking monks and heroes in the Foundation Establishment stage.

Lu Feng also had plans for the three of them.

After all, they came from Chongfu Temple, and with their guidance, Xuanyin Temple was able to smoothly and intact take over all of Chongfu Temple's property.

Various cultivation resources, a large number of monks, and the long-standing cultivation methods of Chongfu Temple are all valuable things that Xuan Yin Temple needs for its future development.

Killing these Foundation Establishment cultivators and summoning their souls into undead creatures would be easier, but it would also waste a lot of resources.

Lu Feng has always been frugal and dislikes wasting things. Given the opportunity, he always tries to maximize his profits.

Lu Feng casually used a soul-summoning spell on the corpses of the Withered Monk and the Vajra Monk, recruiting two-star silver Vajra Corpses from their bodies.

These two-star silver Vajra Corpses are slightly weaker than their predecessors who were at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, but they are still genuine two-star silver troops with considerable strength, enough to support the Xuan Yin Temple's mid-Foundation Establishment force.

The necromancy of the undead is so domineering and unreasonable.

As long as he maintains his victories, Lu Feng's forces will only grow stronger and larger with each battle.

Lu Feng really made a fortune in this battle of Beppu.

The Battle of Beppu has come to an end.

When Lu Feng led the Taoist priests of Yu Chan Temple and the monks of Chongfu Temple out of the Five Elements Sect's separate residence, the land of Hongze County, which had long been controlled by the Buddhist and Taoist sects, would welcome their new masters.

The Taoist priests of Yuchan Temple were busy relocating to another residence, merely to allow Taoist Yushu to return to Yuchan Temple to handle the aftermath and guide Yuchan Temple and its subordinate Xuanmen forces to surrender to Xuanyin Temple.

The cultivators of the Xuanmen sect swore allegiance within the territory of the Xuanyin Temple, and naturally transformed into soldiers.

The Taoists of Xuanyin Temple also mobilized to build territorial buildings in every county town and village of Hongze Prefecture, incorporating these lands into the territory of Xuanyin Temple.

After Huixin and the other two Foundation Establishment monks had their injuries healed by the Tree Man, they returned to Chongfu Temple and successfully took over the reins of the temple.

Subsequently, they led the monks of Chongfu Temple and their Buddhist forces to join the territory of Xuanyin Temple.

In a short time, the entire Hongze County began to develop vigorously.

Those who felt this change most clearly were the ordinary people who previously lived outside the territory of Xuan Yin Temple.

When the influence of the Xuan Yin Temple extended to their doorstep, they finally lived a good life where they could have enough to eat.

They all genuinely loved and respected the Xuan Yin Temple, the power that governed them.

Because for many ordinary people living at the bottom of society, life is really just about getting food to eat.

Being able to eat one's fill is the greatest happiness.

Within Lu Feng's territory, anyone who breaks the law or commits a crime is a target of severe crackdown by the Xuan Yin Temple.

The Taoist priests of Xuanyin Temple led their troops through the county of Hongze Prefecture, eradicating evil and showing no mercy in killing the parasites who harmed the common people.

One by one, heads were chopped off, blood flowed like a river, and heads rolled everywhere.

Such actions won cheers from the common people. The corpses of these dead parasites were not wasted. After being killed, they were sent to the cemetery in the territory of Xuan Yin Temple and buried there, becoming the source of the undead creatures in the territory.

Lu Feng didn't just target ordinary people in Hongze County; he also didn't let go of Qi Refining cultivators who had committed crimes. After discovering illegal or criminal activities, military units would immediately come to arrest them and punish them severely.

Those with minor offenses can be released after a few years of labor reform, but those with serious offenses have no choice but to return to the grave.

Hongze County is undergoing tremendous changes.

However, Lu Feng did not eradicate the Xuanmen and Buddhist forces, nor did he completely integrate them into the Xuanyin Temple.

Instead, Chongfu Temple and Yuchan Temple were allowed to remain as they were, maintaining the influence of the Xuanmen and Buddhist sects in Hongze County.

Lu Feng was quite wary of the Buddhist forces of Liang Kingdom that the monk Kurong of Chongfu Temple mentioned on his deathbed.

The Vajra Temple, located in the capital, is the pinnacle of Buddhist power in the Liang Kingdom. Almost all Buddhist temples in the twenty-six prefectures of the Liang Kingdom can be said to be subordinate to the Vajra Temple.

It is the root and tentacle used by the Vajra Temple to control the Liang Kingdom and to supply the Vajra Temple with talents and resources.

The Jingang Temple today was built by pooling the resources and talents of the entire Liang Kingdom.

Although Lu Feng has defeated Chongfu Temple, if he dares to openly declare this matter in Liang Kingdom, the monks of Jingang Temple will probably be led by a high-ranking monk to the city gates tomorrow, razing Xuanyin Temple to the ground and eliminating it completely.

Although Hongze County is only one of the twenty-six counties of Liang Kingdom, it is also one of the territories that Jingang Temple values. Lu Feng's daring to jump out is a slap in the face to Jingang Temple.

If one thing happens, another will follow. If we don't nip the Xuan Yin Temple in the bud, how will the Vajra Temple maintain its control over the Buddhist forces in the Liang Kingdom?

If the Xuanmen forces, represented by Liang Guolonghu Mountain, were to find out, they would probably try every means to trip up the Vajra Temple, damage its reputation and fortune, and destroy its foundation.

This is something that Vajra Temple will absolutely not tolerate.

Moreover, Lu Feng had inquired with Abbot Yu Chan Dao Ren of Yu Chan Temple and learned from him that the top masters of the Xuanmen and Buddhist sects in Liang Kingdom, whether it was Vajra Temple or Longhu Mountain, were all at the Golden Core level.

The Golden Core level is equivalent to a three-star life level in the territory world, and is on the same level as Ms. Green, Lu Fengbai's teacher.

Although it's unknown how many there are, they are not figures that Lu Feng, at this moment, can easily provoke.

Therefore, Lu Feng still adheres to the principle of "accumulating grain, building high walls, and delaying the proclamation of kingship," and has decided to first occupy the territory of Hongze County, cultivate the land, and slowly develop and enhance his strength.

He is only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, and is still a very long way from the Golden Core level experts of Vajra Temple and Longhu Mountain.

This is a time when we absolutely must not be hasty.

Once he has the power to overturn the table, Lu Feng will then consider taking over the entire Liang Kingdom and expanding his territory.
