The Legend of the Demon Hunter

Led by the green-clad believers, the three of them walked into the church. The space inside the church was very spacious. In the middle of the church was a statue of the saint carved from white jade, which looked solemn and elegant. In front of the statue of the saint, several believers were kneeling devoutly. The colors of their clothes were different, with gray being the most common, followed by green and blue.

The three of them walked to one side of the church. A gray-robed Christian was standing by a table, arranging a pile of religious robes on the table. When he saw the green-robed Christian approaching, he was very respectful. He stopped what he was doing and said, "Your Excellency, are there any new members who want to join the church?"

The green-robed cultist nodded and said, "Take out the spirit stones and test their spirit power. If they pass, give them religious robes!"

The gray-robed man took out a heavy blue stone from behind and moved it to the table. He said to the two young men, "Please stretch out your palms and press them on this spirit-testing stone."

The young woman took the lead and stepped forward. She touched the surface of the spirit-testing stone with her jade hand, and the spirit-testing stone emitted a faint light. The gray-robed believer nodded and said, "Okay, next one."

When it was the young man's turn, he seemed a little hesitant, but he still stepped forward and pressed his palm on the test stone, and the test stone emitted the same light as before. Seeing this, the green-robed man nodded and directed the gray-robed man, "I still have things to deal with, so I'll leave these two to you."

After hearing the order, the gray-robed man said politely, "Okay, please rest assured, sir."

After the green-robed man walked away, the gray-robed man turned his gaze to the two young men and said, "Congratulations on passing the test. From now on, you are members of the Red Lotus Sect. Here are your robes."

The gray-robed man handed two gray robes to the two young men and asked, "What are your names?"

The young man looked at the man in gray robe and replied: "My name is Xiao Zhu, and this is my sister Xiao Ya."

The grey-robed man was very talkative. He looked at Xiao Zhu and Xiao Ya and introduced himself: "My name is Chang Dashan, and I am your guide. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me."

Xiao Zhu asked the question that had been in his mind for a long time: "Brother Chang, why do people in the church wear clothes of different colors?"

Chang Dashan seemed to have guessed that the other party would ask this question, and explained: "In the church, the color of the robes represents different identities and statuses. Gray robes like ours are the lowest level, followed by green, blue, and yellow. These four colors represent believers of different levels. In the church, when low-level believers meet high-level believers, they need to call them envoys. In addition to these two colors, there are also cardinals and white archbishops. In our Yuanwu City, the cardinals are the pinnacle of power, and the white archbishops can only be seen in the Holy Maiden City of the Red Lotus Sect. Both the cardinals and the white archbishops have supernatural powers and can do anything." As Chang Dashan spoke, his eyes showed admiration and yearning.

Chang Dashan's unintentional words made Xiao Zhu know the structure of the Red Lotus Sect. According to his judgment, gray clothes are the attire of low-level demon hunters, and by analogy, green robes, blue robes, and yellow robes are intermediate and high-level demon hunters and spirit hunters respectively. The red-robed leader should be the soul hunter, and the white-robed archbishop should be the hunter king. The entire Red Lotus Sect has such a capability structure throughout the country of Ling. It is indeed a powerful and unshakable force.

This is completely consistent with what Old Huojian said in the Xuanwu branch yesterday, that the three cardinals are all soul hunters.

"Brother Chang, where is the Holy Maiden City you mentioned? One day I also want to go to that legendary place to worship." Xiao Zhu asked.

Hearing this, Chang Dashan glanced into the distance and said, "Saint Maiden City is the imperial capital of Ling Country. It is far to the northeast. It is the dream of every Red Lotus believer to go to Saint Maiden City. Unfortunately, it is thousands of miles away from Yuanwu City, and the journey is extremely difficult. It is almost impossible for ordinary people to reach it on foot. Only a red cardinal or a white archbishop can easily reach it. I'm afraid we have no chance."

After Chang Dashan finished speaking, he looked at Xiao Zhu and Xiao Ya and said seriously, "We Grey Robe Christians are the lowest level in the church. We can only do some simple and superficial work here. Moreover, we are absolutely not allowed to go to the back hall of the church. You must remember this."

"Okay, thank you Brother Chang for the reminder." Xiao Zhu silently remembered these words.

"Okay, there are still some tasks here. Let's see which one you want to do." Chang Dashan opened a booklet and pointed to one of them.

Xiao Zhu looked at the contents of the booklet. They were all very simple tasks assigned to low-level believers, such as cleaning the square, patrolling the city, etc. At this time, Xiao Zhu's eyes were suddenly attracted by the task at the bottom of the booklet. He pointed at that position and said, "Brother Chang, does this task require manpower?"

Chang Dashan took a look at the task, which read "Clean the Colosseum". This task was the least popular among the Gray Robe believers. Not only was the task heavy, but there were also senior believers who were always supervising them, so they couldn't be lazy at all. Seeing Xiao Zhu choose this task at once, Chang Dashan hesitated to speak. He thought that no one had signed up for this task for a long time. The church had recently been pulling people in like conscripting soldiers. Since this ignorant newcomer had taken a fancy to it, it would be better for him to suffer a little.

"You can sign up. Do you two want to sign up for this?" Chang Dashan looked at Xiao Zhu and confirmed.

"Yes, please help us sign up, Brother Chang!" Xiao Zhu nodded without hesitation.

"Okay, then you go to the living area of ​​the church to rest today. I'll find someone to arrange accommodation for you. You can set off early tomorrow morning! Here are the mission tokens, take them." Chang Dashan took out two wooden tokens from under the table and threw them to Xiao Zhu and Xiao Ya.

It was already evening when Xiao Zhu and Xiao Ya settled down. They lived in two adjacent houses. The rooms of the Red Lotus Sect were very simply furnished. Apart from the necessary statue of the saint in each room, there were only tables, chairs and beds.

The courtyard where they lived only had two types of believers, the gray robe and the green robe, and it should be the lowest level living area. The church had many restrictions on low-level believers like them. Except for the church lobby and living area, they were not allowed to go to other places. However, since Xiao Zhu had infiltrated the Red Lotus Cult, he naturally did not intend to abide by their rules. However, during the day, there were so many people coming and going in the church that it was inconvenient for him to take action, so he simply rested in the room and waited for the night to come.
