"How did a Red Lotus Society pop up again?"

"Wasn't that escaped Holy Envoy from the Scarlet Robe Society? How did he join the Red Lotus Society so quickly?"

Zongzhen Yue was at a loss for words as he looked at the intelligence report on his desk.

"Could Dongfang Chen be behind this?" Zongzhen Yue suddenly had this thought.

Because all of this happened after Dongfang Chen sent back the escaped Holy Envoy.

But upon closer inspection, it seemed impossible.

He believed that the Scarlet Robe Society was no match for Dongfang Chen, so Dongfang Chen had no reason to do this.

"The Scarlet Robe Society actually split off from the Red Lotus Society? Then why haven't we heard of it before?"

Zongzhen Yue was completely overwhelmed; it was too chaotic, and he couldn't make heads or tails of it.

After a series of discussions with other senior military officers, Zongzhen Yue finally decided to ignore it for the time being.

As the saying goes, let dogs fight and get a mouthful of fur. Let the Red Lotus Society and the Scarlet Robe Society continue to fight, preferably to the point of mutual destruction. This would be a good thing for everyone.

And just like that, everyone was led astray, and the Red Lotus Society took root in the cracks.

… …

June 23, 2055 AD.

On this morning, the resettlement area was the same as the previous few days; new leaflets were scattered around, flying everywhere.

But careful observers noticed that today's content was different from the past.

This was a public announcement.

It said that the Red Lotus Society would hold a salvation ceremony on June 29th to redeem the persecuted members of the Scarlet Robe Society. Those who were redeemed would be able to get rid of the torment of illness and return to the physique and appearance of normal people.

Ordinary people didn't know what exactly happened to the people of the Scarlet Robe Society or why they needed to be redeemed. However, they could understand from this information that the people of the Scarlet Robe Society were mostly not normal people.

This was a relatively big blow to the Scarlet Robe Society.

The lower-level devotees, messengers, and followers had never seen the true faces of the Divine Envoys, and now they realized that the superiors of the Divine Envoys were the Holy Envoys. After seeing the content on the leaflets, they began to suspect that the Divine Envoys had experienced serious side effects after taking the medicine, causing their appearances to change. That's why they wore masks and cloaks.

And those Divine Envoys and Holy Envoys who saw the leaflets weren't in a much better state either.

They had been tormented by pain and had always been concerned about their appearance. Before joining the Scarlet Robe Society, they were just ordinary people and didn't have any particularly strong faith in the Scarlet Robe Society. They succumbed to the Scarlet Robe Society only because they were controlled by drugs.

It was precisely because of this that the method of distributing leaflets was able to affect them.

The leaflet also stated that the location of the ceremony was in the urban area of Mozhou City.

The time was 23:30 at night.

Because the Red Lotus Society had always been elusive.

The people of the Scarlet Robe Society had also been trying to find their whereabouts these past few days, but they hadn't found a single clue.

Therefore, the salvation ceremony on the evening of June 29th would become the first official confrontation between the two sects.

… …

"Salvation ceremony?" a young man said with a frown.

Several people wearing masks and blood-red cloaks stood beside him.

That's right, this young man was the Scarlet Robe Society's Holy Son who had previously gone to Binjiang and had a brief encounter with Dongfang Chen.

The few people standing beside him were undoubtedly Holy Envoys. Because the clothes of the Holy Envoys and the Divine Envoys were different; the cloaks of the Divine Envoys were dark red, while the Holy Envoys were blood-red.

"Holy Son, what should we do next?" a Holy Envoy asked.

"Closely monitor the movements around the urban area of Mozhou City these few days. If you discover any suspicious people, capture them immediately. I have two requirements: first, those who betray the Scarlet Robe Society will be killed without exception. Second, find out the background of this Red Lotus Society and see who exactly is playing tricks," the Holy Son instructed.

It seemed that this Holy Son was also aware that the content on the leaflets had just hit the soft spot of the Holy Envoys and Divine Envoys in the sect. If they didn't take ruthless measures, more and more people would defect from the Scarlet Robe Society. This would be very detrimental to them.

"Holy Son, the leaflet says that our Holy Sect originated from the Red Lotus Society. Is that true?" a Holy Envoy couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

The Holy Son looked at the Holy Envoy who asked the question, revealing a harmless smile.

"You are a Holy Envoy, yet you would ask such an idiotic question. I can answer you; the Holy Sect has a very powerful background that cannot be compared to some nonsensical Red Lotus Society. Do you understand?" the Holy Son explained.

"Understood, understood!" Seeing the Holy Son's eyes suddenly widen, he was a little scared and replied tremblingly.

"Good that you understand. Since you understand, you can go die! How can someone with such an wavering mind hold the position of Holy Envoy?" the Holy Son said.

"Ah! … …" The Holy Envoy suddenly shouted, but before he could say anything, he fell to the ground and died.

The other Holy Envoys shuddered in fright.

"Did you see that? This is the consequence of questioning the Holy Sect!" the Holy Son warned coldly.

"Yes!" the few people said in unison, no longer speaking further.

"Okay! Go, keep a close watch on Mozhou City for me! I want this damn Red Lotus Society to disappear completely in Mozhou!" the Holy Son said.

"Yes!"
