1075: Chapter 657_2 1075: Chapter 657_2 The deeper they were into the drugs, the deeper their addiction became, eventually irreparable, turning them into loyal followers of the medician!
So loyal, in fact, that the medician could command them to die, harm others, or act as puppets—and they’d carry out orders without hesitation!
Jiang Tang’s eyes darkened.
The Guandi Cult of Rabbit Country intended to use this sleeping drug, transforming it into Holy Water, to bewitch not only ordinary people but also wealthy nobles!
He wasn’t sure who the mastermind was, yet these individuals should have been the very ones their nation needed to eliminate!
Jiang Tang did not act immediately; he wanted to uncover their full plot!
One day later, Jiang Tang heard of a colossal conspiracy, information he extracted from the soul of a cult member!
This was an advanced cultist.
The information in their mind should be accurate!
It turned out their conspiracy was orchestrated by the state’s leadership—a strategy to get the entire population to drink this Holy Water and become puppets of the rulers.
Using the drug, these cult members would infiltrate every nation with unwavering loyalty, disguised as followers of the Guandi Cult!
Rabbit Country planned to infiltrate the entire world, using cultists under the cult’s name as spies.
Meanwhile, within each country, these cultists secretly plundered resources and transported them back to Rabbit Country.
They utilized pirate ships on the seas to discreetly smuggle the plundered goods!
Among these resources were gold, silver, jewels, oil, and various other essentials, which they traded and sold—food being a major target for plunder!
Jiang Tang uncovered this scheme within a single day.
Rabbit Country’s ambition was global in scale, but even the cultists and the Sect Hierarch of the Guandi Cult were unaware!
How laughable that the Guandi Cult was unwittingly making a wedding gown for someone else!
Equally laughable was the Sect Hierarch of the cult—believing their establishment of the Guandi Cult was a great success, achieving immense authority within nations worldwide!
Little did they realize that amidst their own ranks of parasites lurked yet other parasites!
The Sect Hierarch smugly married a woman from Rabbit Country, fathering mixed-blood children, only to be toyed with by the woman.
He remained oblivious even as his own children cultivated secretly!
From the cultist’s soul, Jiang Tang learned that the founder of the Guandi Cult was not the current Sect Hierarch, as the cult had been founded several hundred years ago!
In a star world with such weak spiritual energy, living for two or three centuries was already impressive.
Living for several hundred years was unheard of!
The current Sect Hierarch was the third person to inherit this position since its establishment.
He was chosen as an outstanding figure among the founder’s descendants.
Now in his middle years, the Sect Hierarch had been in power for several decades.
The position of Sect Hierarch was passed down like an imperial throne.
It didn’t matter which country the mother hailed from, nor the purity of bloodline, as long as the individual proved capable enough.
Children born to the Sect Hierarch in other nations were often deemed impure in blood, even though everyone had seemingly forgotten that the founder of the Guandi Cult was of Eastern origin.
These arrogant dregs resorted to any means to seize the position!
Among them, Rabbit Country utilized drugs in their bid to claim the throne!
Ultimately, they were defeated by cultivators from other nations who trained their souls!
Jiang Tang had no choice but to punish Rabbit Country through unconventional methods!
Since they used Holy Water in their national secret research bases,
the Guandi Cult served as their clandestine chemical compound headquarters!
From there, they produced poisonous drugs, secretly transporting them via spies to other nations to wreak havoc!
Their bases must be destroyed, their venerated Heavenly God obliterated!
The effigies of their Heavenly God must be struck to pieces!
Jiang Tang painstakingly penned golden-talismans infused with Buddha Light!
He dispatched the Sun Stone Elves, whose swift flight and omnipresent abilities allowed them to traverse heavens and earth.
Within just a day, these underground bases belonging to the Guandi Cult were simultaneously detonated!
People witnessed tornado-like smoke clouds billowing from various cities while explosive sounds erupted in unison!
Higher-ups tracking the explosions heard that reports from all over the country confirmed their secret bases had been obliterated!
This powerful method was nothing like their research into black gunpowder!
It was of legend, unfamiliar yet distinct—Eastern cultivators’ talismans.
The leader of Rabbit Country, their Heavenly Emperor, was enraged.
For years, it had always been Rabbit Country infiltrating others’ nations to bully them.
When had enemies managed to sneak in without detection?
“Baka!
Baka!
Bakayarō!
Investigate immediately!
What kind of scoundrels invaded our nation?
Are the intelligence agents eating crap that they couldn’t catch this mass assault on our bases all at once?!”
The Heavenly Emperor nearly threw up blood in his fury.
These bases had required nearly a millennium of plundered resources to construct!
Who dared infiltrate their nation and simultaneously destroy their bases in secret?
The Heavenly Emperor ordered an investigation.
Ministers quivered in fear, unable to believe this was mere coincidence.
To have someone of such strength infiltrate the nation undetected—what kind of enemy were they up against?
Their chemical bases had become the lifeblood of Rabbit Country!
All their plans for world domination hinged upon these drugs!
With the bases gone, their ambitions were utterly thwarted!
Knowing this, high-ranking officials were practically vomiting blood!
These incidents had nothing to do with ordinary citizens.
The people knew nothing of such grand schemes of global conquest as they busied themselves with the struggles of daily life!
Jiang Tang’s methods this time didn’t involve live explosives!
Rabbit Country was unaware of divine punishment; they assumed invasion by foreign foes!
They didn’t suspect their own people—after all, years of militarizing the populace had trained them into impenetrable soldiers who ate anything but idle meals.
Recalling Rabbit Country, Jiang Tang thought of civilization countries and the wars of bygone years!
Truly, despite differences in time and space, human malice and deceit remained unchanged!
Not only violence, but rampant plundering of the world’s resources showed stark similarities!
Jiang Tang didn’t care.
He orchestrated various terror events in this country and now quietly ascended via his Flying Artifact to its Heavenly Emperor’s Imperial Palace!
He raided the national treasury, plundering all gold and silver treasures and worldwide spoils accumulated over the years!
He even plundered noble collections—everything from safes to bank vaults—all cleared out!
He left their treasury barren, erased the ill-gotten wealth of their nobles, and stripped them of the means to rebuild chemical bases!
He ensured they couldn’t construct harmful weapons any longer!
And guaranteed they couldn’t leverage the Guandi Cult to invade the world anytime soon!
Who knows what the future holds?
Jiang Tang could only do so much, hoping eventually the East would rise, Ancient Xia Country’s Guandi Cult would be broken, and espionage would pose fewer threats!
As Jiang Tang worked, his heart was elated, not just for saving the world but for exacting vengeance against insidious forces—it was gratifying!
Amidst his grand crusade, Rabbit Country plunged into chaos; they had just begun reeling from their chemical bases’ explosions.
Before they could recover, they discovered their treasury had been robbed, businesses looted, and nobles’ safes emptied!
In an instant, this cascade of occurrences threw them into panic—was this an enemy from the heavens?
Believing their Heavenly God’s protection assured them immunity from demons and destruction, they hadn’t conceived of divine retribution!
Such swift strikes led them to wonder: could these foes be extraterrestrial invaders?
Jiang Tang grinned triumphantly as he stuffed the plundered materials into various Storage Bags, happily sorting them!
Then, he distributed the loot to Ye Tian for amusement!
Ye Tian shot Jiang Tang a venomous glare!
Jiang Tang chuckled, tossing him a “No poison, no manhood” glance as though saying this was merely rightful punishment!
“Not bad, not bad.
Good work!” Ye Tian praised!
Right then, the Heavenly Dao descended, and a halo of the Light of Merit appeared!
The halo enveloped Jiang Tang, leaving Ye Tian envious!
