Chapter 116 Chaos Cult
"Your Holiness, the Ice God Douluo requests an audience outside the palace."
Shao Hui was taken aback and said, "Bring the person over here quickly."
"Brother Jie is here?! If I do the math, it's been almost twenty years since I last saw him," said Guangling Douluo.
Qingfeng Douluo, however, said in a cold voice, "What's this guy doing here? He's definitely not here for anything good."
Seeing this, the Time-Space Douluo beside him patted Qingfeng Douluo on the shoulder and said, "Hey, it's been so long, you should let it go."
"I can't let go, I'll never be able to let go in this lifetime."
Looking at his third brother's stern face, Time Douluo covered his mouth and chuckled, "He must have come back with results for the matter that Second Brother asked him to handle."
Upon hearing this, Qingfeng Douluo's expression softened, and he looked at Jin'e Douluo, waiting for him to speak.
"I think so. Before my brother left, he told me to have Ouyang Jie look for any information about the Chaos Cult, since the Chaos Cult first appeared on the continent and caused trouble in the Heavenly Dou Empire."
“Yes, I’ve also looked through some books passed down by the predecessors of the Spirit Hall, but there are no records of the Chaos Cult in them,” said Shao Hui, who was sitting in the main seat.
Golden Crocodile Douluo nodded. "After all, the Ice God Sect is an ancient sect of the Heaven Dou Empire. In terms of age, it has existed for longer than the Spirit Hall. It is much more likely to have records of this organization than we do."
"Hahahaha—Brothers and sisters, apart from Brother Tianwei, it must have been many years since we last met." A hearty laugh rang out first, followed by a handsome man wearing blue armor, with long white hair reaching his waist, whose face showed no signs of being an old monster who had lived happily for hundreds of years.
"It's been a long time, Brother Jie!" Golden Crocodile Douluo stood up and said with a smile.
"Second brother, really. You asked your younger brother to help you with something, but you had to send a message through someone else. I thought you would come in person and catch up with you."
"Hahahaha, your place is freezing cold, I'm not going there."
"Brother Jie! I've missed you so much!" Guangling Douluo stood up and ran to Ouyang Jie's side, hugging his arm and saying, just like a little girl.
“Guangling, I miss you too. Who would have thought that when I finished my seclusion and came out, you went into seclusion again? More than 20 years have passed since then.”
"Of course. I don't care, I've been wanting your Ice God Brew for ages, you have to give me a few more barrels this time."
"I think you're craving my family's wine," Ouyang Jie said with a smile.
Then Ouyang Jie noticed that he didn't see the Sixth Elder, so he asked, "Where's the Sixth Elder? I don't see him."
"He's still in seclusion," Time-Space Douluo explained.
"I see. It's been a long time since I've seen Time Travel Sister. She's getting more and more beautiful," Ouyang Jie said.
Time-Space Douluo replied with a smile, "Brother Jie, you're still as eloquent as ever. Otherwise, how could you have—"
Realizing he was about to say something wrong, Time Douluo quickly shut up and glanced at Qingfeng Douluo, who hadn't uttered a word since Ouyang Jie entered the hall.
Ouyang Jie also saw Qingfeng Douluo next to Time Douluo, and was speechless for a moment, feeling a little embarrassed and flustered.
"Heh, I don't know what to say?" Qingfeng Douluo sneered.
The Time-Space Douluo coughed, and the Azure Phoenix Douluo, realizing that this was not the time for him to vent his emotions, said seriously, "Tell me, what's the result?"
"Uh, Brother Luo, I—"
"Let's get down to business. We'll talk about our business privately."
"Alright, I'll explain it to you clearly. Brother Shao Hui, Second Brother, I actually found some clues in the ancient books within the sect." Ouyang Jie withdrew his guilty gaze from Qingfeng Douluo and looked at Shao Hui and Jin'e Douluo with a serious expression.
"Oh?! You have a clue? Tell me more—" Shao Hui said.
"The Chaos Cult is far more complex than we thought. I discovered it has existed for a very long time, dating back to the founding of the Ice God Sect, but it's always called a 'cult.' I don't know if it's the same Chaos Cult we know today."
"What?!" Everyone was shocked when they heard this first sentence. Who would have thought that this evil organization had existed for so long?
Ouyang Jie continued, "In a book written by a senior member of the Ice God Sect, it was written: —"
"There was a cult that had been rampant across the continent since the founding of our sect. Our sect, taking it upon ourselves to bring peace and prosperity to the people, naturally attempted to combat this evil sect, but with little success. Moreover, our sect suffered more defeats than victories in our battles against this cult. We were baffled as to why, with some of the strongest fighting forces in the world at our disposal, we achieved such results. Furthermore, the members of that sect seemed to possess an insensitivity to pain, like fighting machines, devoid of any human emotion. Therefore, our sect sent one person as an undercover agent to infiltrate them. He remained undercover for decades, but unfortunately, his identity was discovered, and he was hunted down to his death. Before his demise, what he revealed shocked us all!"
"This cult has a strict hierarchy, divided into three levels: 'Heaven,' 'Earth,' and 'Human.' Terrorist activities are clearly divided according to these three levels: the 'Heaven' level is responsible for terrorist activities at the national level; the 'Earth' level is responsible for terrorist activities at the city level; and the 'Human' level is responsible for terrorist activities at the village level. This cult also has a system of elders and 'protectors.' The elders and protectors also have similar hierarchical divisions, divided into three levels according to Heaven, Earth, and Human, with three people in each level. Heaven-level elder, Earth-level elder, Human-level elder, Heaven-level protector, Earth-level protector, Human-level protector."
"So that's how it is!" Tianwei Douluo exclaimed in surprise. The others stared at him with hostile eyes, and Tianwei Douluo immediately fell silent.
"Heavenly-level operations are led by Venerables, Earthly-level operations by Elders, and Human-level operations by Protectors. All their operations are uniformly arranged by Heavenly-level Venerables. Above Heavenly-level Venerables are three most mysterious individuals whose identities are unknown to Elders and Protectors, and only Venerables at that level know them."
Time-Space Douluo pondered, "Then they must be the sect leader and the vice sect leader."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"After decades of hard work and struggle, our sect's undercover agent finally reached the level of a Earth-level Elder. He participated in many terrorist operations, but strangely, whenever he recalled the specific details of the operations, his mind went blank, even though he was certain that he had been involved. Our sect was very puzzled. In the end, the last words of our sect's undercover agent were: 'Supreme Chaos, I am the master.' He abandoned the treatment of the sect's healers and returned home to rest. When he was last seen, he was already a skeleton. He committed suicide to atone for the deaths of those innocent civilians, filled with endless guilt."
……
For a few breaths, there was complete silence, and it took everyone a while to come to their senses. They were almost certain that this "cult" was the predecessor of the current Chaos Sect.
"Nobas should be an elder-level member of this sect. This guy is ranked seventh, so he should be a human-level elder. If a human-level operation led by an elder has turned Yelin City into this mess, what would happen if an even higher-level elder led the operation—" Time-Space Douluo gasped.
Sitting in the main seat, Shao Hui's expression was indifferent, revealing no particular emotion about the matter. He then spoke, "Whether the current Chaos Cult is also divided into this hierarchy is currently just speculation. We still need evidence to verify it. In any case, we must at least have a general idea in mind, which means we must be vigilant and take preventative measures from the village level down to the national level."
"Brother Ouyang, I'll leave the Heavenly Dou Empire to you. As for the Star Luo Empire, I think it's best for the Heavenly Dou Empire to handle the negotiations. After all, the Spirit Hall isn't a nation—"
"Okay, I understand. Everyone, I'll head back now. There are many things to arrange in Tiandou." Ouyang Jie bowed to everyone.
His gaze lingered on the Azure Phoenix Douluo for a while longer.
"Yes, thank you for your hard work, Brother Ouyang." Shao Hui nodded.
After Ouyang Jie left, Shao Hui said solemnly, "Everyone, the situation is not optimistic. This sect has risen again, and we need to develop further countermeasures. It's best if you all don't go into seclusion for the next few years, just in case. We don't know where our teacher is or what his whereabouts are. Everyone, the Spirit Hall is counting on us!!"
……
……
The Chaos Cult, this villainous force, has been revealed to everyone for the first time. More details about this villainous organization will be added later; this organization is incredibly powerful!!! Absolutely formidable!!! The fact that a single cult can stand against two great empires plus the Spirit Hall shows just how terrifying it is.
