#181 - Chapter 181 Red Lotus Rises
The stubborn Holy Envoy grew agitated upon hearing this.
He anxiously looked at the four beside him and said:
"Don't be fooled by him. Without the medicine, you won't be able to survive!"
"The Red Lotus Sect has made it very clear that they can cure the aftereffects on our bodies, and we will never need this damned medicine again. We will be able to become normal people and start a new life. Don't hesitate, join forces with me and kill him!" said the Holy Envoy.
The others didn't know what to do, standing there hesitating.
"If you dare to rebel, I will definitely inform the Holy Son and have you all executed!" the stubborn Holy Envoy threatened.
He shouldn't have threatened them; this threat completely frightened them.
"Hahahaha! Do you understand now? Those Holy Sons act capriciously and cruelly, never treating us like human beings. If you don't rebel, the only thing waiting for you is death! What are you waiting for? Attack!"
After speaking, the Holy Envoy took the lead and attacked the stubborn Holy Envoy.
The stubborn Holy Envoy was no match for him alone and was knocked away with one move.
"What are you waiting for? Attack!" the Holy Envoy shouted.
The hesitation of the several Holy Envoys had already given others an excuse. Now they had no choice but to rebel.
The four looked at each other, nodded, and attacked the stubborn Holy Envoy, directly ending his life.
In this way, the four Holy Envoys who had blocked the road, led by another Holy Envoy, quickly ran towards the city center.
This scene was repeatedly playing out in the suburbs.
Soon, seven or eight groups of Holy Envoys responsible for blocking the way joined the ranks of the rebels.
… …
"Waste! All waste!"
The Holy Son was furious when he heard that many Holy Envoys could no longer be contacted.
He had sent so many Holy Envoys to encircle and suppress the rebels within his own sect, but many people had been turned! This was simply a preposterous joke!
He would never allow the Red Lotus Sect to successfully hold the Salvation Ritual. Whether it was true or false, as long as the Red Lotus Sect's Salvation Ritual was held, it would be a slap in the face to their Red Robe Sect.
The followers below were not clear, but as the Holy Son, he was clear. The Red Lotus Sect was just a ridiculous plagiarist and could not be compared with his own Holy Sect.
He decided that no matter the cost, he must kill all the rebels in Mozhou.
So he ordered the Holy Envoys in the surrounding 17 cities to travel day and night, driving all the zombies in their cities towards Mozhou, and they must arrive before the 29th.
He needed to quell the Red Lotus Sect's matter as soon as possible to give an explanation to his own Holy Sect.
… …
June 29th arrived quickly.
Inside the Red Lotus Sect's stronghold in the Bell Tower District of Mozhou City, after continuously hunting crystal nuclei these past few days, the Queen Bee had developed quite well, enough to cope with the Salvation Ritual to be held tonight.
More than 30 Holy Envoys who had rebelled had also gathered here.
In order to maintain relative mystery, Wan Peng and his group did not directly contact these Holy Envoys.
Everyone was waiting for the arrival of the night.
This night was tugging at everyone's heartstrings.
The military region and the resettlement camp did not send anyone over; they did not want to participate in this matter.
The Red Robe Sect also unusually did not send anyone to sneak into the city, perhaps because they were worried that more people would be turned.
The sun gradually set, and night fell.
Zong Zhengyue paced back and forth in his office, feeling uneasy.
The command headquarters of the resettlement camp was full of people, all frowning.
Although they did not send scouts out, they stubbornly waited for news that might not even arrive.
Just after nightfall, large numbers of zombies quickly rushed towards the core area of Mozhou City; they had begun their charge.
"Are you ready?" Wan Peng asked.
"Everything is ready!" Qu Zhengping replied.
"Good! Let this Karma Red Lotus burn away all the evil in the world!" Wan Peng said.
"Well said! I really didn't misjudge you!" Qu Zhengping praised.
The two raised their hands and shook them tightly.
8:30 PM.
The vanguard of the zombies had arrived in the Bell Tower District; at this time, there were still 3 hours before the start of the Salvation Ritual.
"Red Lotus Ascends!" Wan Peng ordered.
A anti-gravity drone, modified into the shape of a red lotus, quickly started and then quietly ascended into the air.
"Turn on the lights!"
At Wan Peng's command, the red light on the outside of the Red Lotus shone brightly, turning the area within a 1-kilometer radius into a scarlet ocean.
The group of Red Robe Sect rebels gathered not far away were completely shocked by this sudden scene.
"A miracle! It's really a miracle!"
Faced with such visual impact, they had completely abandoned their inherent knowledge. Someone took the lead and knelt down, prostrating themselves in worship. When the other Holy Envoys saw this, they all followed suit and knelt down.
Of course, this Red Lotus was just for show. It could neither eliminate zombies nor heal those Holy Envoys. Its only function was to increase the sense of ritual.
