181: Chapter 181 Red Lotus Rises

The stubborn Saint Envoy grew anxious upon hearing this.

He nervously looked at the four people beside him and said,

"Don't let him deceive you. Without the medicine, you simply cannot survive!"

"The Red Lotus Sect has made it clear that they can cure the after-effects on our bodies, and then we will no longer need this damned medicine. We will be able to become normal people and start new lives. Don't hesitate, join hands with me and kill him!" the Saint Envoy said.

The few people didn't know what to decide, standing there indecisively.

"If you dare to rebel, I will certainly inform the Saint Son and have all of you executed!" the stubborn Saint Son threatened.

His threat was not a big deal, but this threat completely scared the few people.

"Hahahahaha! Do you understand now? Those Saint Sons act cunningly and cruelly, never treating us as human beings. If you don't rebel, only death awaits you! What are you still hesitating for? Do it!"

With that, the Saint Envoy had already taken the lead, attacking the stubborn Saint Envoy.

The stubborn Saint Envoy was no match alone and was sent flying with one blow.

"What are you still standing there for? Do it!" the Saint Envoy shouted.

The previous hesitation of the few Saint Envoys had already given others a handle. Now, they had no choice but to rebel.

The four looked at each other, nodded, and attacked the stubborn Saint Envoy, directly ending his life.

Just like that, the four Saint Envoys blocking the way, led by another Saint Envoy, quickly ran towards the city.

This scene was repeatedly playing out in the suburbs.

Soon, seven or eight groups of Saint Envoys responsible for blocking joined the army of rebels.

...

"Useless! All useless!"

The Saint Son was furious upon hearing that many Saint Envoys could not be contacted.

He had sent so many Saint Envoys to encircle and intercept the rebels within his own sect, and yet many of them had been swayed! This was an absolute travesty!

He would never allow the Red Lotus Sect to successfully hold the Redemption Rite. Whether it was true or false, as long as the Red Lotus Sect's Redemption Rite was held, it would be a slap in the face to their Red Coat Sect.

The common followers below were unaware, but as a Saint Son, he knew. The Red Lotus Sect was the nonsensical plagiarizer, completely incomparable to the Sacred Sect he belonged to.

He decided that no matter the cost, he must kill all those rebels in Mozhou.

So he ordered the Saint Envoys in the surrounding 17 cities to move out at night, driving all the zombies in their respective cities towards Mozhou, and to ensure they arrived before the 29th.

He needed to quickly quell the Red Lotus Sect's matter to account for it to his Sacred Sect.

...

June 29th quickly arrived.

Within the Red Lotus Sect's stronghold in Mozhou City's Zhonglou District, after continuous hunting for crystalss in the past few days, the Bee Queen had developed quite well, enough to cope with the Redemption Rite scheduled for that evening.

Over 30 Saint Envoys who had rebelled had also gathered here.

To maintain relative secrecy, Weng Peng and his group did not directly contact these Saint Envoys.

Everyone was waiting for the arrival of night.

This night stirred everyone's hearts.

The Military Region and the Settlement did not send anyone over; they did not want to participate in this matter.

The Red Coat Sect also uncharacteristically did not send anyone to infiltrate the city, perhaps out of concern that more people would be swayed.

The sunset gradually, and night fell.

Zongzheng Yue paced back and forth in his office, his mind uneasy.

The Command HQ of the Settlement was filled with people, all with furrowed brows.

Although they hadn't sent out scouts, they stubbornly waited for news that might not even reach them.

Just as night fell, large groups of zombies rapidly rushed towards the core area of Mozhou City; they had already begun their charge.

"Are you ready?" Weng Peng asked.

"All ready!" Qu Zhengping replied.

"Good! Let this Karma Red Lotus burn away all evil in the world!" Weng Peng said.

"Well said! I truly didn't misjudge you!" Qu Zhengping praised.

The two raised their hands and clasped them tightly together.

At 8:30 PM.

The zombie vanguard had already reached Zhonglou District, with three hours remaining until the start of the Redemption Rite.

"Red Lotus Ascend!" Weng Peng commanded.

An anti-gravity drone, modified into the shape of a red lotus, quickly activated and then quietly ascended.

"Turn on the lights!"

At Weng Peng's command, the red light on the outside of the Red Lotus flared brightly, turning an area of 1 kilometer into a sea of blood-red.

The group of Red Coat Sect rebels gathered not far away were completely stunned by this sudden sight.

"A miracle! It's truly a miracle!"

In the face of such visual impact, they had completely abandoned their preconceived notions. Someone took the lead and knelt down, prostrating themselves in worship. Other Saint Envoys, seeing this, followed suit and all knelt down.

Of course, this Red Lotus was just for show. It could neither eliminate zombies nor heal those Saint Envoys. Its only purpose was to enhance the sense of ceremony.
