"I seemed to be hallucinating just now." Cultist A murmured, looking dazed.
"Yeah, I also had auditory hallucinations. I actually heard the Demon Lord asking us to do square dance." Cultist B also looked like he was sleepwalking.
Wait, so it’s not really an auditory hallucination?
The believers gathered in the so-called sanctuary church looked at each other in bewilderment.
Finally, the elders of this region stood up and said, "How could the noble Demon Lord issue such a ridiculous order! This is not the Demon Lord! This is the Evil God!"
This elder confidently called others evil gods, showing that he had no idea at all.
The other cult members were stunned, thinking that this statement made sense. Their religion was noble and noble, so how could they possibly be asked to do square dancing?
The elder's expression was filled with satisfaction. He was about to offer some further words of appreciation, perhaps reprimanding them for being so easily swayed. As he opened his mouth, a black flame suddenly erupted from his body. The flames didn't burn his flesh, but they did cause him to scream. After all, this thing was burning his soul.
The other believers stared at this scene in stunned silence. Suddenly, they remembered the Demon Lord they had dreamed of at the beginning. They couldn't see his face, but they could see him emerging from the black flames. The black flames were undoubtedly the Demon Lord's magical power!
"It's the Demon Lord! This is the Demon Lord's punishment!"
"He actually questioned the Demon Lord's oracle. He is the heretic!"
In the blink of an eye, he went from being a respected elder to a so-called heretic hated by the congregants.
The elder wanted to open his mouth to explain himself, but the pain in his soul made him unable to speak at all, and he just kept rolling on the ground.
Such incidents occurred in several locations across the country. Those who questioned the Oracle all experienced the agony of the fiery flames burning their souls. They wouldn't die, and their bodies wouldn't even show any signs of burns, yet they preferred death to be the end of it all.
Although this evil cult has only been around for a short time, its ability to deceive people is quite powerful, and it has established several branches across the country.
Originally they were planning to do something to make a name for themselves, but now their plans have fallen through, and they are all preparing to practice square dancing.
…
"The matter has been preliminarily resolved." Ji Jingyao said to Shi Miao in a very calm tone.
All his actions were in front of Shi Miao... Shi Miao also understood what he was doing.
Not only did he issue an oracle in the name of the Demon Lord, punishing those high-ranking officials who committed crimes in his name, but he also directly severed the connection between the stone statue and the demons of the other world.
Shi Miao felt that his temper had improved a lot now. If it were his previous life, he would have kept all these high-ranking officials alive.
She hesitated for a moment and said, "We'll compile a list of the top management and key personnel and submit it later."
It is estimated that some senior officials have used their status to commit crimes and make money.
"Yeah." Ji Jingyao also hated people who used his name to cause trouble.
Those high-ranking officials often led their followers to pray to the Demon Lord, and following this line of cause and effect, they always caught him.
In addition, with Shi Miao there to tell fortunes, they can try their best to ensure that no one slips through the net.
Thus, this evil cult, which had just started to make some noise, was punished by the light of righteousness.
They were very angry when they were arrested, and then they became confused.
Who reported them? The followers have witnessed the power they displayed and have full faith in them. This shouldn't happen.
What’s even more terrifying is that before they even get on the Mirror of Sin, everything they do is recorded clearly, as if there are gods recording it above them.
They could only comfort themselves that even if they were captured, when the Demon Lord arrived in half a year, he would definitely avenge them and rescue them.
Once they find out who reported them, they will definitely make that person suffer.
"Did Shi Miao predict this?" an arrested elder couldn't help but ask. He now thought of Shi Miao's almost godlike divination ability.
Originally, the police would not reveal this information, but the parties involved insisted that they reveal it. Even if these people did not ask, they would find an opportunity to tell it.
The policeman shook his head, "No, it's Ji Jingyao."
They were also confused. Why would Ji Jingyao expose himself for no reason? Wasn't he afraid that these people would hate him? If the cultists wanted to retaliate, it would be very troublesome, and their relatives and friends might also be in danger?
Wait, could this be Ji Jingyao's real purpose? To better sting the law enforcement?
They were increasingly convinced that this was the case, and were deeply shocked. Ji Jingyao had always given people the impression of being arrogant and aloof. It was as if, aside from a few people, no one could truly enter his heart or be taken seriously by him.
This time he took the initiative to help, and they were all shocked, thinking that he might be trying to show off in front of Shi Miao.
But the other party did this!
It can be seen that everyone has misunderstood Ji Jingyao. He is what is called cold on the outside but warm on the inside.
The policemen's perception of Ji Jingyao suddenly changed, and they secretly felt that he was really a good person.
The arrested elders had their mouths wide open and their eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets.
It’s actually Ji Jingyao?
Although Ji Jingyao was also very famous, people often overlooked Shi Miao's existence because of his greater fame. And he was such a proud person, yet he was willing to hide behind others.
Wait, an elder with a good memory vaguely remembered something.
In the previous live broadcast of the International Fighting Competition, Ji Jingyao seemed to have used that black flame?
In the oracle image they saw, the powerful Demon Lord was always accompanied by black flames. They were also very clear about the function of the flames: it burned the soul, not the body.
So what is the relationship between Ji Jingyao and the Demon Lord?
Could he be the Demon Lord's direct disciple?
The elder who first figured this out couldn't help but mutter to his accomplices, and the faces of the other senior officials changed drastically.
It was obvious that the imaginations of these elders only extended this far, and they did not dare to guess that Ji Jingyao and the Demon Lord were the same person.
If he was truly the Demon Lord's disciple, then he was closer to him than any of them. He probably sent them to prison because he hated them for using the Demon Lord's name to make money and seek benefits, right?
They couldn't help but feel guilty when they thought about how they had used religion to make huge profits.
No wonder Ji Jingyao hated their existence so much. He probably felt that they had tarnished the reputation of the Demon Lord.
Originally, they wanted to send out a message to let some of the followers who were still willing to follow them take revenge on Ji Jingyao, but now they don't dare to do that.
They should behave well in prison and strive to be released as soon as possible.
The Demon Lord is worthy of being the Demon Lord. He hid the news so well and took precautions against the high-level officials like them.
So the police soon discovered that the cult leaders who had originally planned to deny it to the death seemed to have come to their senses and were cooperating.
While taking notes silently, they thought: It is better not to speculate on the thought processes of these people, so as not to be led astray by them.
