Chapter 340: The Heavenly Lord Of Demon Subjugation Shocks The Demon Realm With His Might!
Just as everyone in the Demon Realm was astonished, Mahadra stood up excitedly, hurried out, and shouted to the others, “The Heavenly Lord has granted another blessing. Within this Demon Realm, within the Heavenly Lord’s range of influence, anyone who commits evil will be punished. Everyone, come with me to spread the Heavenly Lord’s influence.”
These words stirred an uproar among the people of the Demon Realm, their faces full of surprise.
“Will those who do evil really be punished?”
“What about the people of the Divine Might Country?”
“If they come in, will they be punished too?”
“…”
Mahadra said with great certainty, “Yes. As long as they enter the Demon Realm and do bad things, they will definitely be punished.”
Just now, when he was piously worshipping, he had fallen into a brief moment of confusion. When he woke up again, he found a stream of information had appeared in his mind.
He knew this had to be the Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation’s divine manifestation.
This miraculous event was the great power the Demon Realm needed. Now the Divine Might Country, because of various pressures and concerns, plus the pressure from Eastern Greatness, no longer dared to continue using large-scale long-range attacks.
If they could no longer enter, then those inside could try to rebuild their homes.
Thinking of this, he shouted even more excitedly to the people of the Demon Realm, “Everyone, follow me and let the Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation’s influence spread throughout the Demon Realm.”
As if infected by him, and also because of that previous miraculous rain, the people of the Demon Realm began excitedly shouting for a time.
The one hundred thousand Heavenly Lord believers walked out from the Daoist Temple, and the ten of them all saw shock in each other’s eyes.
They all knew the Chen Clan, and they knew there was a special miraculous place there, where people who did bad things on Chen Clan’s grounds would be punished.
Especially those few temporary Daoist priests. The higher-ups were already watching the Chen Clan, and this matter naturally drew attention as well, but no one could figure it out.
In the end, they could only conclude it was due to some kind of Feng Shui.
They could not really claim that a deity existed, could they?
But given the current situation, it did not seem to be some kind of Feng Shui.
Headache…
However, this was definitely something that needed attention. They immediately followed Mahadra as he left, heading for the city where the people of the Demon Realm were gathering.
Called a city, it was actually all ruins.
Facing such ruins, most people of the Demon Realm were in despair and numb, not knowing what they could even do.
Still, there were some stubborn people who refused to accept their fate, actively digging through the ruins, trying to find something useful or traces of their homes.
But human strength was sometimes truly insignificant. They were powerless to move heavier supporting pillars; the only thing they could do was cling to hope and try to find some useful supplies.
Ma Haide was such a person.
He was unwilling to become a numb walking corpse. He wanted, by doing something, by rummaging through the ruins for things, to prove the meaning of his own continued existence.
The discussion nearby drew his attention as well.
“Let’s go. Today we’ll go worship the Heavenly Lord.”
“Mm, let’s go together!”
He felt these people were bewitched. In such a desperate situation, when they did not even have the ability to rebuild their homes and the supplies needed for survival still had to rely on support from outside the Demon Realm or airdrops, they still did not think of relying on themselves to resist adversity but instead pinned their hopes on a deity. They were truly hopeless.
If you used your hands every day and did some work, you would gain something, however small. Going to kneel before a statue was purely a waste of time.
Those who believed in the religion of Is already went far enough, and now this so-called Heavenly Lord was also a foreign religion, yet these people were foolish enough to believe in it.
Just as Ma Haide was thinking this, he suddenly saw a crowd surging from the distance, led by Mahadra.
This made him feel extremely disgusted with Mahadra. At first he had thought the man was truly someone with ambition who could bring new hope to the Demon Realm.
Who knew that the hope he brought would be like this.
Mahadra entered the city, looked at the people around him, and began leading them in shouts, “The Heavenly Lord’s divine manifestation has brought another blessing. Within the Heavenly Lord’s Demon Realm’s influence, those who do bad things will be punished. We can rebuild our homes.”
The people Mahadra brought shouted excitedly as well.
When Ma Haide heard this, he truly felt these people were completely deranged. It was utter nonsense.
If this were real, would people from the Divine Might Country still be able to come into the Demon Realm?
It was obviously impossible.
Just as Ma Haide was thinking this, he suddenly heard a mocking voice. “Ma Haide, have you found anything good today?”
Ma Haide looked up to see a strong man walking toward him, which made him very vexed.
In every place, no matter how deep in despair it is, no matter if you yourself are a bullied weakling, there are always bullies who prey on those even weaker.
Bi Feita before him was such a man. Relying on his stronger build, he not only snatched others’ supplies during distributions, but also came to trouble those who searched through the ruins.
If they found something good, he would come to take it.
Ma Haide subconsciously glanced at the bag beside him, where he had put today’s gains. That look drew Bi Feita’s attention, and he walked toward the bag.
Ma Haide was instantly alarmed.
He could not beat Bi Feita, and today’s gains were about to be stolen again.
But then something happened that left him astonished. As Bi Feita walked toward his bag, his foot suddenly slipped. He fell hard, and a wail followed.
They saw his forehead had struck a stone, swelling immediately into a large bump.
“Damn it!” Feeling the pain on his forehead, Bi Feita grew furious. He planned to beat Ma Haide to vent his anger.
If the other man had taken the initiative to hand over the bag, he would not have fallen.
But as he strode angrily toward Ma Haide, another wail burst out. In his rage, he did not see what was under his feet and stepped directly onto a wooden board full of iron nails.
The nails pierced his sole, causing him to collapse painfully to the ground. When he looked at his foot, it was already covered in blood.
Fear appeared in Bi Feita’s eyes. There were no hospitals left in the Demon Realm, and without medical supplies, such an injury, with rusty nails, could easily lead to complications and death.
Seeing this, Ma Haide quickly grabbed his bag.
At that moment, frenzied shouts rose all around:
“The Heavenly Lord’s divine manifestation has brought another blessing. Within the Heavenly Lord’s influence in the Demon Realm, those who do bad things will be punished. We can rebuild our homes.”
These shouts stunned both Ma Haide and Bi Feita.
Thinking of what had just happened, Bi Feita’s expression grew even more fearful. Was it because of the Heavenly Lord they were shouting about that this had happened to him?
He had heard about this Heavenly Lord and how many had gone to worship.
Previously he had scoffed at it, never believing such a thing.
But what had just happened…
Shock also appeared on Ma Haide’s face. If earlier he had not believed in this so-called Heavenly Lord’s blessing at all, Bi Feita’s experience just now made him less sure.
Was it because Bi Feita tried to rob him that he was punished by the Heavenly Lord?
Could such things really exist in this world?
If not, how could what had just happened to Bi Feita be explained?
As Ma Haide was thinking, a distinctive sound suddenly came from the sky. Several special aid transport planes were flying overhead.
Hearing the sound, Ma Haide immediately grew excited. Carrying his bag, he headed toward an area.
Those were supplies from the outside world for the Demon Realm.
These supplies would be dropped at fixed locations, and if he arrived too late, they would be snatched by those bastards.
Many people who banded together in gangs, and some minor armed personnel, were even worse than Bi Feita. They truly dared to kill.
Seeing this, Mahadra also hurried to lead his people toward the supply drop zone. He knew about the situation of supplies being looted here.
Moreover, no one could control this situation at all.
Especially those armed personnel who flew the banner of resistance. When they led the way in looting supplies, ignoring others’ lives, it created even greater chaos.
Under such circumstances, all anyone could do was rush faster, get to the supplies before others, and seize enough to stay alive.
He had done the same before, except back then he had few followers. Now he had many people with him, all of them those who had received the Heavenly Lord’s blessing.
Soon, only the despairing Bi Feita was left behind. Looking around, he could only cry helplessly, “Help me, can someone please help me?”
In the distance, several vehicles entered the Demon Realm. Inside were highly alert men, and Teisi（Chapter 333） sat in the car not daring to relax in the slightest.
He was responsible for matters in the Demon Realm. After encountering that miraculous rain before, he had not dared to stay and had fled back in terror to report the matter to his leaders.
The key point was that his superiors did not believe him and even scolded him. Today they were determined to personally come and inspect the situation, and they even said they would expose the religion that had spread from that mysterious ancient eastern country.
He could only accompany them, but he was truly scared. The memory of that miraculous rain was still vivid.
“More supplies going to support the Demon Realm?” A middle-aged man beside him watched the aid transport planes crossing the sky.
“Yes, Mr. Godo,” Teisi nodded. “At this time, it should also be when the Demon Realm is in the greatest chaos. Many people will fight fiercely to seize the supplies.”
“Let’s go take a look,” Godo said mockingly. “Did you not say that the deity might really exist, and that the rain was miraculous? Then I want to see if, in this kind of situation, that deity can solve anything.”
…
Mahadra brought his people to the supply drop zone almost as fast as possible.
But when he arrived, his expression grew grave. More than thirty people with weapons had already reached the area.
These were all armed personnel, or rather the region’s gang members, but since they had weapons in their hands, they were called armed personnel.
The scarred man in the middle was the notorious Donado.
As the people of the Demon Realm gathered around, these men pointed their weapons at anyone who approached.
Mahadra and the others instinctively stopped, because they knew these people truly dared to kill.
Despair appeared on many faces. If they could not get supplies again, they might really go hungry.
Mahadra furrowed his brows tightly. Seeing the spreading despair among his fellow people, he felt it could not go on like this. He looked toward the strong man standing among the armed personnel.
The man was holding a handgun, staring greedily at the supplies being dropped from above.
Mahadra walked straight toward him and even shouted, “The Heavenly Lord’s divine manifestation has brought another blessing. Within the Heavenly Lord’s Demon Realm, those who do bad things will be punished.”
His shout stunned everyone.
Many people of the Demon Realm opened their mouths. Was he not afraid of death? That was Donado, a man who truly killed.
But many who had come with Mahadra and experienced the Heavenly Lord’s blessing heard his cry and seemed to gain courage. One after another they shouted along, “The Heavenly Lord’s divine manifestation has brought another blessing. Within the Heavenly Lord’s Demon Realm, those who do bad things will be punished.”
There were over two thousand people who had come from the Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation Daoist Temple with Mahadra, and others who had also experienced the Heavenly Lord’s blessing were affected by his courage and joined in the shouting as well.
There were now several thousand voices.
Thousands shouting together had tremendous impact, even a shocking force. Their combined momentum was enough to make hearts tremble.
This was the same reason why, in ancient times in the imperial city, many powerful officials could not move the emperor, yet some could stir the common people and force the emperor to change his mind.
Because when public opinion surged, the emperor might view individuals as ants, but he still feared the collective will of the people.
The most classic examples were Li Longji and Zhao Gou.
So when those armed men of the Demon Realm saw this scene, unease appeared on their faces. They even subconsciously stepped back.
Their expressions were seen by those around them, and everyone realized something. More and more people joined Mahadra’s chanting:
“The Heavenly Lord’s divine manifestation has brought another blessing. Within the Heavenly Lord’s Demon Realm, those who do bad things will be punished.”
The momentum grew even stronger, making the armed men’s faces look even uglier.
In the distance.
Teisi and Godo’s car had already stopped there, and they were secretly observing the scene. From afar, Godo and Teisi could hear the crowd’s shouts.
Teisi looked full of misgivings. “Mr. Godo, this is the power of that mysterious eastern deity. In such a short time it has gained such cohesion.”
Godo watched the scene clearly through his telescope, but his brows were tightly furrowed. “Teisi, you really disappoint me. This is not the power of a deity. This is manipulation. It is Mahadra’s brainwashing. He is controlling these people. Such skillful manipulation reminds me of a certain little mustache.”
“Uh…” Teisi’s mouth twitched. He wanted to say something but could not explain it. Without personally experiencing that rain, there was no way to make others understand, and no one would believe him.
Just as when he had explained many times, this Mr. Godo always thought it was some trick Mahadra had played.
To be honest, if it had only been a trick, there was no way he would have failed to see through it.
Hearing the powerful shouts now, he had reason to suspect that all those people of the Demon Realm had experienced that miraculous rain.
Godo did not know what Teisi was thinking. Looking over, he suddenly said, “That one is Donado, right? A newly risen gang leader. The information says he is ruthless and built up his armed band through cruelty.”
“Yes,” Teisi nodded.
Because of various reasons, they temporarily could not handle the Demon Realm directly, but they still knew what was happening inside. People like Donado were recorded in their information.
Such people would either become problems or become a very useful blade.
Donado was a greedy, selfish, violent man. Such a person would not become a threat to them; given the chance, they could use him as a weapon.
Godo said confidently, “A man like that will not be scared by this kind of intimidation. What he will do is take out the leader, because he knows how cowardly these people of the Demon Realm are.”
At the scene.
Mahadra’s shouts grew louder as he walked forward, ignoring the men with weapons whose faces were now filled with unease.
The Heavenly Lord had given him his greatest confidence.
Donado had been fixated on the dropped supplies, calculating his gains, when the sudden upheaval enraged him. He felt his authority had been provoked.
What angered him even more was that his own subordinates were showing cowardice.
If he let these people get their way today, who would fear him in the future?
He raised his handgun fiercely and strode forward in anger, aiming directly at Mahadra. “You damned fool, do you have a death wish? The Heavenly Lord’s divine manifestation? Then guess whether your Heavenly Lord can protect you today. Guess whether my bullet will pierce your skull?”
In that instant, all the other people of the Demon Realm instinctively stopped shouting.
The courage they had mustered could not withstand Donado’s long-standing fearsome reputation and the weapon in his hand.
His subordinates, seeing this scene, shed their earlier panic and became vicious again. Thinking about how they had just been intimidated by these unarmed cowards, they felt even more humiliated, and their viciousness deepened.
For them, being so easily frightened by a group of weaponless weaklings was absolutely a black mark they could never live down.
At once, the people of the Demon Realm shrank back in fear, leaving only Mahadra surrounded in the middle by the armed personnel.
Those who had followed Mahadra wanted to help, but years of oppression had left them lacking courage. They could only hesitate anxiously, not knowing what to do.
Some did think of something and immediately began silently praying in their hearts to the Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation.
Looking at the weapon in Donado’s hand, Mahadra was afraid. After all, a life was only one.
But he quickly thought of the Heavenly Lord’s blessing and of all the miracles, and his resolve hardened. “The Heavenly Lord’s divine manifestation has brought another blessing. Within the Heavenly Lord’s Demon Realm, those who do bad things will be punished.”
This shout enraged Donado completely. “You’re asking to die.”
In the distance, Godo watched through the telescope and said mockingly, “This guy is dead for sure.”
In the next moment, the sound of a firearm roared out, followed by a shrill wail.
In that instant, Godo’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Impossible.”
