In the Holy Spirit Cult.
The holy Spirit Cult were on their wits end. Fan Lin was killing the members of the Holy Spirit Cult like poultry everyday and many of the low level members had tried to abandon the Holy Spirit Cult.
They too, were killed but by the Holy Spirit Cult higher level members. They needed to give an example to the others with the thoughts of abandonment. Now the lower echelons of the Holy Spirit Cult were regretting their decision for joining the Cult as they were going to die either way.
In front of them was Fan Lin Who was killing them like chickens everyday while on their backs were the upper echelons of the Holy Spirit Cult who were also killing them like chickens if they even thought of abandoning the Holy Spirit Cult.
They were trapped in a tough and narrow space, the only way out being death.
The whole cult was depressed over this problem. Their optimism and team spirit that they were showing in the past few months have been washed by the river waters of reality.
Due to this, their working speed dropped by several folds. Along with the regular killing of the members, the progress rate was going down every. They were unable to amass enough innocent and pure souls for the upcoming ceremony and now the cult had no other choice but to postpone their plans.
If Fan Lin knew that killing them everyday was helpful in the obstruction of the Abyss and Demon realm, he would have wiped the whole Holy Spirit Cult by then.
For the meantime, he was just playing with them. Killing them to vent his day to day negative emotions. Killing them when he felt like it. Killing them just because he had nothing to do. It had become an everyday habit for him in the past few weeks. He was traveling the world while enjoying the sights and killing to the fullest of his heart. He was regretting the fact that why was it that he never thought about this before? Lots of things could have changed.
And now if he got to know that the preparation he has been doing for the past few days against the upcoming dangerous battle against the Abyss and the Demon realm was going to be postponed for the next few months, he would destroy the Holy Spirit Cult just to soothe his anger.
The only problem was that he didn't know the main hideout of the Holy Spirit Cult. If he did then a random Blue Silver Energy Spear was enough to wipe out at least nine-tenths of the Holy Spirit Cult.
The unfortunate thing being that he didn't know the main location of the Holy Spirit Cult. No one knew. Not even Qiangu Dongfeng.
Now towards the problems of the Holy Spirit Cult.
They were facing the worst time of their life. Fan Lin was killing them everyday. The other organisation was also killing them everyday. The Spirit Pagoda was also killing them everyday and the Federation and the Tang Sect was also killing them everyday. They were being slaughtered and gangbanged by everyone.
The reason being that the Holy Spirit Cult members were in high demand in the Federation and the other two Empires.
The Federation, Spirit Pagoda and Tang Sect wanted to show their faithfulness to the Douluo continent and that's why they were killing the Evil soul masters as they were the only things that the people feared and the Federation, Spirit Pagoda and Tang Sect had the strength to kill.
Not a single force was going to attack Fan Lin. He didn't even have any wanted posters of his because everyone knew that it was a waste and if they got on the bad side of Fan Lin then their future would be black.
If Fan Lin knew about this, he would be so happy. But the Holy Spirit Cult members were not that happy over the death knell that would come to them at anytime without any notice.
Plus the Federation wasn't entirely killing Holy Spirit Cult members but also the innocents that had martial soul that is aligned with darkness or evil attribute.
So were the Tang Sect as they were killing anyone that had the chance to become the next Fan Lin.
And surprisingly, it was the Spirit Pagoda that was doing things rightfully. Something that amazed Fan Lin a lot. He would not have believed it. But the Spirit Pagoda, in the hands of Leng Yaozhu, was really showing the reason why it had become the people's favourite in the past 10,000 years. So much that it even surpassed the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy.
The Spirit Pagoda had stopped all the illegal activities that Qiangu Dongfeng did in the shadows of Spirit Pagoda. Not just that, they became the shelter that was protecting the innocent evil-related martial soul possessors.
Fan Lin had seen it and he remembered that it looked as the same Spirit Pagoda that he had read about till the 400 th chapter of Legend of the Dragon king.
The ideal Spirit Pagoda that he imagined. Something that was shown to the whole world in the first 400 chapters and then was plot twisted to become the antagonists to show the might of the Tang Sect and Tang Wulin.
The author must really didn't want to part with the Tang Sect, so much that he wasted an organisation like spirit Pagoda that was 1000 times better than Tang Sect.
But what relation does it have to the misery of the Holy Spirit Cult members? It had and a big one at that.
It even had a name. Qiangu Dongfeng and that was being abused by two people. Tang Wulin and Gu Yuena. Both of them were making things harder for the Holy Spirit Cult from their respective organisations.
Tang Wulin was using the Tang Sect and stirring up trouble with the Holy Spirit Cult constantly while Gu Yuena was using her position in the Spirit Pagoda to eradicate as many hidden hideouts of the Holy Spirit Cult as possible.
This was done solely due to the help of Qiangu Dongfeng or to be more precise, his data on the Holy Spirit Cult. It had the information of most of the Holy Spirit Cult's hideouts and members.
Never look down of the intelligence network of Qiangu Dongfeng just because he was unable to find out about the Seven Devils and Wulin. That was due to the Planar Ruler's involvement.
Qiangu Dongfeng was able to know about the situation of the Shrek immediately after the destruction of Shrek. He was able to know even the brand of Orange juice that Fan Lin liked. He was a able to get the information of all the workers of Fan Lin.
He was able to control the whole Parliament before the destruction of the Shrek. He was the one who took the two level twelve soul missiles without the knowledge of the whole world. Under the nose of the Tang Sect and Federation military and all the Shrek Academy graduates that serving in them.
He was a scary man if you looked at his past and he and Fan Lin had many things in common. They both knew the value of information. Both had the habits of storing their information with their trusted aides and both have the bad habits of planning before execution. They don't like to do something that's not planned or thought before.
Just like how Qiangu Dongfeng respected Fan Lin. Fan Lin, too, respected Qiangu Dongfeng. He was the first person that made Fan Lin feel fear/terror after coming to the world of Douluo Dalu after all.
And due to his information, the Holy Spirit Cult was nearing their boiling point. They knew that they couldn't do anything about Fan Lin but they were angry when the other forces thought that Holy Spirit Cult was a weak chicken ready to be slaughtered.
And they were going to let the whole world know that before the rise of Fan Lin, there was the Holy Spirit Cult...
