Chapter 342: War against Church (1/2)

The trio decided to pitch in the spiritual stones to transport the remaining people.

They might seem like doing a good deed, but there are some reasons for that, first one is they have to use the same space gate and the second one is they couldn't just enter Usaine sect's territory.

They don't know if the Beast faction has put a huge bounty on their heads and the six major powers although have some rivalries, in situations like this, they would help one another.

So, they decided to transport as many people as possible so that they can blend in with the people from this nation and since the Usaine sect will not care enough to inspect each and every one of the people that came, they have a higher chance of hiding.

So, the trio, Sam and the crown prince all five of them are at the Space-gate formation, making preparations to transport all the citizens.

The orders of the emperor are executed rapidly. All the troops assembled and are given a briefing about the weird qualities of the people from the church.

Everyone is a full-on war mode.

Even the mercenaries joined the fray and started making preparations. Only people at the Grand realm stage or above are stationed.

For some reason, the emperor felt that even this is going to be futile. So, they started sending people one after another. They completely crossed out the idea of defending or victory. Because, from what the trio explained, the emperor felt that the whole country is already within the Church's control.

Their nation is smaller than the western continent, only about one-third. But still, the number of people the church might have taken into control is not small, there is no way the emergency troops can take on that.

So, all these preparations are for only one thing, to buy enough time to take all the people away.

Two days later, almost all of the citizens are taken away, there are only troops are some more citizens left. Another two hours later, they could start evacuating the troops too.

But at this moment, there are some tremors on the ground and their hearts resonated with it.

All the citizens started to run towards the Space-gate and if not for the fact that the troops are present, there would have been real chaos.

The Emperor looked through the balcony he was in and got rooted to the spot.

There is an enormous crowd in the streets of the Imperial capital, all wearing white. There is a feeling of worship in everyone's eyes as they followed the person in the lead.

Many people in the group are wearing white masks and from what Emperor could see, they seemed to be normal cultivators, only people without masks are giving off a weird vibe.

The person in the lead is also wearing a mask, but it is not a white mask-like other, it is a golden mask with some patterns on it.

He is also a normal cultivator and he seemed to be a transcendent cultivator at that. The Emperor turned solemn as he looked at the advancing group.

After the crowd reached a few hundred meters away from the Palace, the one in the lead started speaking loudly.

”I am the Priest, who serves the 'Guide'. The Guide is the only one who can show the path of truth for us.

The Guide is the only one who can lead us to a fair world.

The Guide is the only one who can lead us to a just world.

The Guide is the only one who can lead us to a truly liberal world.

I am here representing the guide and asking you to join us on this great journey.”

He spread his hands as he spoke. His voice is majestic and has some divine effect on it.

The crowd standing behind him started cheering as soon as he finished his small speech.

When the people in the Palace heard this, they didn't dare to slack off, they sped up the process of loading the spirit stones as the space gate was activated.

The Priest looked at the Emperor who is standing on the balcony of the palace and said one more time.

”Everyone, who doesn't join the Guide, will be considered a sinner and everyone, who is a sinner must be cleansed. So, please rethink and choose the path of truth.”

This time, he even pointed at the emperor directly.

The rest of the crowd also pointed their fingers at the emperor and started calling him out.

”Sinner.”

”Sinner.”

”Sinner.”

As the situation started to get rowdy, the troops are all on guard ready to fight.

The Priest is smirking behind his mask as he heard the chants of the crowd.
