348: threaten!

"Repent!"

"The Contract God sits high upon the divine altar, watching over you pathetic lackeys."

"Only by embracing the God..."

Li Yang was completely unfazed, his cold gaze sweeping across the faces of Lu Zheng and the others.

No begging for mercy.

No excuses.

Instead, it was provocation!

Lu Zheng's face turned green with anger, and he sternly rebuked, "Nonsense! Everyone get down, hands on your heads, or you will all be treated as violently resisting arrest."

The Cultists all looked at Li Yang. They were the most devout among them, and when the Pope dared to stand firm, they too could suppress the fear in their hearts.

Li Yang's eyes were satisfied, and he laughed maniacally, "Evil gods and Cultists destroy city defenses and endanger humanity, yet you dare not intervene."

"We keep to ourselves, worshipping our God only with the faith in our hearts, yet you act like flies that just won't go away."

"You even arranged for two undercover agents to lurk among my believers, sabotaging our ritual ceremonies three whole times and defiling our faith."

"Do you really think we don't have sharp claws and teeth, or the determination to protect our God and defend our Dao?"

Upon hearing about the two undercover agents, Lu Zheng's heart skipped a beat, and hearing the rest, he became completely panicked.

The other party was planning to violently resist arrest!

He had wanted to claim the credit, but now he felt things had gotten serious, so he hurriedly called out to the Security Officers outside.

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

A humming sound came from the instrument in his pocket!

Lu Zheng hurriedly took it out; it was glowing bright red.

Three hundred meters away, the Divine Domain had been activated; no one could leave.

The divine statue on the altar began to move. Its exterior had originally been in the likeness of Xu Le, but the outer coating began to peel off, revealing its true form.

"Caw, caw, caw..." A black raven traced a graceful arc and landed on Li Yang's shoulder.

"Kill!" Li Yang spat out the word coldly.

He had to let the world witness the power of the Covenant God Cult, otherwise, there would always be people wanting to blaspheme their God.

Little Silly Crow cast the "Terror Nightmare" Skill. Lu Zheng and the Security Officers outside changed expressions, as they saw the awe-inspiring youth from three years ago standing before them.

He had destroyed the Tang Family, slaughtered the Imperial Family, and finally shattered the Void Realm to achieve Ascension and become a god.

Dare not provoke!

Run, run, run...

Even Lu Zheng was filled with panic, but he tried his best to suppress the fear in his heart: "Your Excellency, we are also just following orders..."

Before he could finish, the shadow of death already loomed over his heart.

I'm going to die!

Driven by the instinct to survive, he crushed the item "Wall of Sighs".

This was a top-tier Epic-grade defensive Magical Artifact, and he only prayed it could hold out for a while so he could wait for reinforcements.

Crack!

The "Wall of Sighs" emitted a crisp cracking sound, and a fissure as thick as a finger appeared.

"I'm not dead!"

"I survived an attack capable of killing a Demigod!"

Lu Zheng was trembling with excitement, and then he realized something was wrong.

Once the seed of doubt appeared, the illusion before his eyes shattered, and the thick stench of blood flooded his nose.

Not only were the people he brought killed, but even the Security Officers responsible for the perimeter had been slaughtered in large numbers.

They were all sliced in two by sharp Qi blades, wailing in despair.

With just one strike, the Security Officers lost over 80 men.

"Demon!" Lu Zheng roared in anger!

Seeing the crimson eyes of the raven on Li Yang's shoulder, the scenery before him changed again, and a voice from the bottom of his heart resonated:

"In all these years, has your position risen? Have you worked diligently?"

"Behind that mask of disguise, do you still remember who you were in the beginning?"

"Your parents, wife, children—when will you make up for failing them?"

"Those suspects you killed, did they really deserve to die?"

"Those sins you helped cover up, hasn't some of that karma fallen upon you?"

...

Crack, crack, crack...

The "Sigh of Despair" completely shattered.

Lu Zheng regained consciousness again, only to see that the church walls were shattered, and less than one percent of the surrounding Security Officers remained.

Only four colleagues were struggling to hold on under the attacks of the divine statue.

He roared in anger, "Don't you claim to be righteous? Why kill people? Why?!"

Li Yang tapped his scepter: "God loves the world, and it is precisely because of this love that He brings down calamities to punish evil and warn the world!"

"We are not sinners; we are righteous Security Officers!" Lu Zheng continued to roar.

"No, you are!" Li Yang suppressed his nausea, his gaze cold, "You dare not arrest the Cultists, yet you surround and intercept us, blaspheme our God, and even sent those devout believers to the gallows. You truly deserve to die!"

Little Silly Crow's body suddenly exploded, and countless Little Silly Crows surrounded the five men, quickly killing them.

"Heh, can you guarantee that you won't do evil once you grow stronger? You damned Cultists..."

Lu Zheng fell to the ground in despair, his breathing stopped, but his eyes were wide open. He was not reconciled; he had only been eliminating evil in advance. These people had attacked them first, so his choice was correct; he just hadn't brought enough people.

Li Yang raised his scepter: "Our God is immortal, shining forever upon the world!"

"Our God is immortal, shining forever upon the world!" The believers were moved to tears; they were finally no longer rats hiding here and there.

Li Yang patted Zhu Dong and Long Xing on the shoulders and said with a smile, "God loves the world!"

The two looked at each other and saw the fear in each other's eyes.

They were both undercover agents planted there, neither knowing of the other's existence, yet Li Yang actually knew.

Li Yang flicked his scepter and was about to leave when the divine statue suddenly looked ahead.

A group of people cloaked in black robes walked into the Divine Domain.

Li Yang's eyes were cold: "Are you also looking for death?"

The leader in the black robe smiled: "Not at all. We are a group of forgotten old fogies, and our goal is to save the world."

Li Yang questioned: "But I have never heard of your great name!"

The lead black robe smiled: "When poor, one keeps to oneself. It will take some time before we flourish, and when that time comes, everyone in the world will know our name."

Li Yang realized: "Savior Society!"

He was no longer a naive and innocent college student; he had been exposed to a lot of intelligence. Among it was a group of hypocritical scoundrels who hid very deep, preaching the salvation of the world while actually collecting worldly resources and plotting to become gods.

The lead black robe smiled: "Since you have heard of us, we can save a lot of breath."

"Can you contact your God?"

"I mean the kind of contact that allows communication and guidance on how to pass the Heavenly Tribulation."

As he spoke, he leaked a trace of his own Aura, and the pressure of a Demigod covered everyone.

It wasn't just the lead black robe; the other four also leaked their Aura, all of them being Demigod-level powerhouses.

Li Yang's heart sank, but he didn't show it on his face: "What if I can, and what if I can't?"

The lead black robe said: "If you can, we are the best partners. We have resources and manpower, and within a week, we can organize no fewer than 30 million Covenant God believers;"

"If you cannot, it won't matter to us. It's just that since you all killed the Security Officers, I'm afraid it won't end well for you today."

Threat!

A naked threat!

Li Yang's expression was ugly, thinking about asking Little Silly Crow and the divine statue to give it a fight.

The lead black robe seemed to know Li Yang's thoughts and said: "The two divine envoys left behind by the Contract God are both SSS-grade pet beasts with extraordinary strength. Even compared to our Savior Society, they are not much weaker."

They were Demigods and had once been SSS-grade powerhouses; they were only stronger, not weaker, than Little Silly Crow and the divine statue.

Li Yang also understood what the other party meant, thinking he had to fight his way out even if it meant death.

As long as Little Silly Crow and the divine statue were still there, the Covenant God Cult would exist!

"Fight! Let's charge!"

The lead black robe shook his head: "On this gamble, you have lost!"

"Is that so? I don't think so!" A cold voice rang out, and Xu Le's figure appeared.
