The most melodramatic rebirth in history

Chapter 434 The Crimson Lotus Demonic Cult
"Sister Sheng, could it be that the Crimson Lotus Demonic Sect is the evil spirit master organization that Ning Shuang and Senior Brother Qiu Bai belong to?"

"Yes and no! The Crimson Lotus Cult is merely the largest representative of evil spiritist organizations within the Eastern Sacred Continent. Besides them, there are many other powerful evil cults such as the Bu Yao Jade Lotus Cult and the Nine Luminaries Black Lotus Cult!"

Upon hearing this, Feng Ling immediately became interested and pressed Ji Sheng and Xiang Qiubai for more inside information.

It turns out that the evil spirit master organization led by the ruthless Kong Chi was actually just a loose alliance agreed upon by the high-ranking members of cults in the four continents, with the main purpose of facilitating the transfer of illicit profits among them.

For example, they could capture and harm spirit masters from this continent, and then sell their spirit bodies and spiritual inheritances to evil cultists in the other three continents through the alliance.

They either bid publicly or bartered privately. Because there were no taboos within the evil organization, it was not uncommon for members to exchange forbidden techniques and evil methods under the guise of exchanging skills.

Furthermore, unless they were to participate in a grand intercontinental adventure and treasure hunt, the various demonic sects on each continent would normally remain entrenched within their own continents, each acting independently and without interfering with the others.

This can barely be considered good news!
"That's not right. If the evil spirit organization is a disorganized mess, it shouldn't be difficult for the righteous sects of the four continents to defeat them one by one. Why have they allowed the evil spirit organization to exist until now?"

"Hehe, Junior Brother, you must have noticed something amiss, right? Admittedly, leaving aside the other three continents for now, our Eastern Sacred Continent alone boasts three great sects—one main sect, one hall, and one school—as well as numerous powerful and influential supreme sects. If they were to unleash their full power, it would be enough to overthrow the entire evil spirit master organization, let alone merely wiping out the representatives of the evil spirit organizations within the continent, led by the Red Lotus Demonic Sect. However, what if they deliberately put on an act, not only unwilling to truly eradicate the Red Lotus Demonic Sect and other evil cults, but also secretly supporting them? What then?"

The three great sects are recognized as super sects in the Eastern Sacred Continent that can be ranked at the ninth rank. It is rumored that there are divine ancestors behind them. They are the One Qi Returning to Origin Sect, the Two Elements Demon Extermination Hall, and the Eight Banners Sect.

The name of the Divine Sect is renowned far and wide. Its open strength alone occupies most of the Heavenly Ranking, which represents the pinnacle of combat power in the Eastern Sacred Continent.

Even though Feng Ling is now the mastermind behind the Ghostly Holy City and wields immense power, he is still far inferior to the three great divine sects. "No way, I only had my suspicions about them: they claim to be a prestigious and righteous sect, yet they hold positions without doing anything. I never imagined they were really this dark?"

Feng Ling was speechless. It seemed that eradicating the evil spirit master organization would be a difficult and arduous task, as the various demonic sects in the Eastern Sacred Continent alone had far-reaching implications.

However, upon closer reflection, it makes sense! The world is bustling with activity, all for the sake of profit!

Without the bloody killings, deals, and illicit transactions with evil organizations, how could the major super sects steadily enhance their strength and status in an increasingly competitive environment?
Despite the various sects' lip service to benevolence and morality, and their outward condemnation of evil spirit masters, they secretly apply double standards and engage in despicable and lewd activities.

This is like the Dark Forest Theory, a paradox that's difficult to resolve. And the world is far darker than we can imagine!

"After the light comes only darkness! You should know that standing behind this Crimson Lotus Demonic Sect is none other than the Two Elements Demonic Palace, one of the three great divine sects!"

Ji Sheng's words were startling, her gaze towards Feng Ling filled with complex emotions: "Feng Ling, you don't have much time left! The Crimson Lotus Demonic Sect exists to cultivate demon sons and holy maidens for the Two Elements Demonic Palace, and each demon son and holy maiden will be betrothed and become Daoist partners. Do you... understand what I mean?"

[Indeed, that thing, like hair, is becoming increasingly rare. I haven't dared to forget it lately, lest I disturb you. But you also thank me for the invitation. Our feelings are obscured, yet the distance between us symbolizes our enduring affection. We leave no period, yet we don't give up. We understand, weary, and we laugh.]
