Chapter 322: The Leader and the Imperial State Religion

On the An Ning Dao side, the process of the uprising was actually very chaotic, which was actually all caused by the sins committed by Deputy Leader Bolick himself.

In the past, he acted under the orders of Minister Ernest and worked as an undercover agent in Anning Road, controlling Anning Road to prevent them from causing chaos.

Bolick did a very good job. He brought chaos to the entire Anning Road. The management and organizational structure was extremely chaotic, and the military equipment was very loose. Once the army started, the subordinates could not find their superiors, the quality of the soldiers was uneven, and the military discipline was not strict. To say that they were a group of rabble was an exaggeration.

But even such a group of rabble, relying on their large numbers and mass base, still swept across most of the eastern part of the empire. It can only be said that in this competition of the worst, the empire is still worse.

However, it is precisely because the Anning Dao is a group of rabble that there are still many imperial resistance forces in the east that have not been wiped out.

If it were normal circumstances, these resistance forces would not have been able to hold on until now. It can only be said that they met their matchmakers, like a dragon meeting a phoenix, and the main feature is an excellent matching mechanism.

Berlik had no choice. He did not expect that the empire would suddenly fail, and his superior, Minister Ernest, also died.

All of a sudden, he, the undercover agent, became a rootless duckweed, and the most embarrassing thing was that the armed forces that had been helping him to manage the situation were also withdrawn by Minister Ernest.

Having lost his backing, the possibility of returning to the empire, and no longer having the trump card that could help him suppress everything, Bolick had no choice but to adopt the identity of "Deputy Leader of An Ning Dao" and strive to earn a high position in the new order.

The voices of uprising within Anning Dao have always been growing louder. They are a bunch of scum who have never seen the powerful force of the empire. They think that they are entrenched in the East and have a huge influence, so they have the capital to challenge the empire. But in fact, if it were not for the suppression of Berlik, they would have been wiped out by the imperial army long ago.

Minister Ernest was very cunning for keeping Anning Dao. He also wanted to make use of Anning Dao. No matter what, Anning Dao had a great influence in the eastern part of the empire.

Therefore, as long as the An Ning Dao is controlled well, the eastern part of the empire can be stabilized. Therefore, Minister Ernest attaches great importance to Bolick's work and even sent the four Rakshasa ghosts to help, just to ensure his voice in the An Ning Dao.

Facts have proved that this approach is very effective. An Ning Dao, a sect originally established to resist the tyranny of the empire, has become an important part of the empire's stabilization of the situation in the east.

It's a pity that no matter how well the policy was implemented, it was useless. Now that Minister Ernest and the little emperor were dead, Pericle was isolated and helpless, and immediately chose to rebel, setting off a wave of Anningdao uprising.

Bolick has been in high spirits recently. After inciting Anning Dao to start an uprising, he suddenly became the ruler of the eastern part of the empire. This greatly satisfied Bolick's desire for power. Isn't this much more satisfying than being an undercover agent for the empire? !

The past is the past, and the present is the present. In the past, the empire was powerful and no one dared to have any disloyal thoughts. Now, even the ministers and the young emperor have been wiped out by the revolutionary army. Naturally, many heroes have emerged, and everyone wants to try to conquer the Central Plains.

If the people of the revolutionary army can do it, why can't they, the people of An Ning Dao, do it?
In recent days, Pericles has begun to dream of being crowned emperor of the empire. It can only be said that human ambitions expand very quickly.

Of course, although the situation is very good, Bolick knows that there are still many hidden dangers around him that need to be eliminated. The biggest hidden danger is naturally the genuine leader of An Ning Dao, that monster, that half-blood bastard, who is undoubtedly the biggest stumbling block on Bolick's road to power.

"Deputy leader, the leader invites you over."

Just as Bolick was thinking about how to deal with the leader, a member of the church came to him with a message, telling him that the leader wanted him to come over to discuss something.

"Okay, I'll be there right away."

Bolick replied, his expression a little ugly. The leader was obviously not a fool. He probably gradually saw through his strengths and weaknesses. After all, his transformation was indeed a little sudden.

However, although he had lost the support of the empire, Pericles also recruited many people to work for him during this period.

Bolick is not alone now, and it is not something that the leader can turn the tables just by wanting to. Moreover, the leader has never paid much attention to worldly affairs. This has become a habit within the An Ning Taoist sect. Everyone goes to Bolick for help when they have any problems.

Bolick called some followers and walked towards the place where the leader lived. The place where they lived was the lair of An Ning Dao. It was arranged like a temple. It was very large and cost a huge amount of money. It had not been built for too long.

Walking here, Bolick was full of energy. He was the one who built this place. He really couldn't understand how the leader could compare with him. An Ning said that he, Bolick, was the real leader!
Soon, Bolick arrived at the leader's residence. Although he was ambitious and never took the leader seriously, Bolick did not skimp on the face-saving projects. The place where the leader lived was built in a very grand and luxurious manner.

In the room, the leader sat cross-legged with his eyes closed. There were no attendants around him, and the room looked very deserted.

"Humph."

Bolick smiled contemptuously and strode directly to the side of the leader. His servants were guarding outside the door, all of them were very vigilant in case anyone took action, in order to capture the leader first.

"Master, do you have something to ask me?"

Bolick spoke up, without meaning to show respect. Although the leader looked good, elegant and handsome, wearing a long robe and with a cross drawn on his forehead, and he looked gentle and holy, Bolick didn't buy it.

"Berlik, what are you worried about?"

The leader opened his eyes. He did have the potential to be a charlatan. His eyes were big and bright. His appearance and abilities were excellent, but his fighting ability was a little lacking.

"Worry? What should I be worried about?"

Bolick frowned. He hated the way this guy played tricks the most, as if he knew everything. Bolick didn't quite believe in some of the leader's abilities.

If this guy can really predict the future, then doesn't he foresee that he will be sidelined in the future?

If this guy can really see through people's hearts, then can't he see through the thoughts of this person who has evil intentions?
"Of course I saw it all, but I chose to accept it."

Just when Bolick was complaining in his heart, the leader on the opposite side smiled and spoke. The leader's words made Bolick pause.

"What are you talking about?"

Bolick gritted his teeth, thinking that this guy must be talking nonsense and trying to bluff him in this way!

"Berrick, I have a clear understanding of my own abilities, so I won't fight you and let you do whatever you want. However, you obviously don't have a clear understanding of your own abilities."

The leader then spoke. He had a calm expression and a smile on his face, looking like a typical charlatan, which made Bolick more and more angry.

In front of Bolick, the leader had never shown his ability to predict the future or see through people's hearts, so Bolick always scoffed at it, thinking it was unreliable and just a rumor made up to deify the leader. If the leader could really do it, how could he have no reaction to what he did? No reaction to his deception? No reaction to his disrespect?

But now, Bolick understood that this guy was just being patient all the time, and it was obvious that he knew everything clearly.

"But I don't understand, why don't you continue to endure it? You don't really think that you have the ability to overthrow me now, do you?"

After the shock, Bolick's face began to turn ferocious. Even if you, the leader, are really that powerful and can predict the future and see through people's hearts, so what? Aren't you still a mortal?! As long as you are killed, you will die!
Thinking of this, Bolick shouted directly, and the servants outside the door immediately rushed in and surrounded the leader.

“You can heal wounds, but if the head is chopped off, can you heal it?”

Bolick had a ferocious expression and asked viciously, but anyone could see that he was weak inside.

Because a very simple truth was in front of Bolick. Since the leader could predict the future, couldn't he predict the current situation? And if he had predicted it, why did he dare to do it? Was there any hidden card to turn defeat into victory? Bolick couldn't help but worry.

"kill him!"

Without giving the leader a chance to speak, Bolick immediately ordered his servants to take action.

These people were all private soldiers that he had trained over a long period of time. They were very loyal to him and would not be instigated to rebel on the spot by the leader. The leader also had no intention of instigating them to rebel. He just sat cross-legged in the middle of the crowd calmly, ignoring swords and knives.

"Tsk tsk tsk, you are so pretentious."

Just as the servants were about to take action, a shadow came and enveloped the entire room. The surrounding walls turned pitch black. Several shadow tentacles stretched out, tied up the servants directly, and then pulled them against the wall, making them unable to move.

"who?!"

This sudden change naturally scared Bolick. He kept cursing in his heart. Sure enough, this bastard had prepared a back-up plan! And this back-up plan was a back-up plan of the emperor!
An Ning Dao has an Imperial Tool User, but that guy is not a direct descendant of Bolick. He usually relies more on the "Four Rakshasas". Bolick naturally will not call the Imperial Tool User to come to see the leader. In case of a conflict, he cannot guarantee that the Imperial Tool User will definitely help him.

But Bolick never imagined that the leader had such a hidden trick! He actually secretly recruited an imperial weapon user!

At this time, the leader who had been sitting calmly stood up. The expression on his face was respectful and even a little fanatical.

"Welcome to the Divine Emperor. I, the leader of An Ning Dao, pay my respects to you. It is my honor to serve you. You are the savior of the empire."

Under Bolick's shocked gaze, the leader stood up and saluted very respectfully, his tone quite fanatical.

"What are you doing, you bastard?!"

Bolick asked tremblingly. He was a little confused and felt that things seemed to be beyond his understanding. What God Emperor, what Savior, what are these things? !

Ke Ling's figure appeared in the shadows, his eyes fell on the leader, and he felt the man's sincerity. The leader of An Ning Dao seemed to respect him from the bottom of his heart, even though they had never met before.

"Buzz!"

The third eye on his forehead opened instantly, the green eyeball moved, and Ke Ling used the imperial weapon [Five Visions Universal Observer].

Some of the abilities that the leader possesses are also possessed by the Imperial Gear [Five Visions Universal Observer], such as mind reading. This ability does not mean that one can really read out every word in the other person's mind, but at least one can understand the other person's true thoughts.

Facts have proved that the leader really intended to join Ke Ling and was willing to serve Ke Ling, because in his heart, he really believed that Ke Ling was the savior who could change everything.

"Very good, you can continue to be the leader."

Ke Ling nodded, acknowledging and accepting the leader's surrender. He had originally planned to keep the leader for use. After all, this guy was indeed very suitable to be a charlatan. Since this guy had conquered himself first, it saved him a lot of trouble.

"As for you"

Ke Ling looked at Borlik, then waved his hand and cut off his head without giving Borlik a chance to speak.

"Puff puff!"

The rest of the servants also had their heads cut off. The entire room was filled with blood and a strong smell of blood.

The shadow shrank and merged under Ke Ling's feet. Ke Ling waved his hand and summoned some newly created artificial combat maids.

"They will be responsible for protecting you and helping you deal with some tedious matters."

Ke Ling said that these combat maid androids are both bodyguards and secretaries. They are responsible for protecting the leader's safety and helping him deal with some mundane affairs that he is not good at. The head maid is of a relatively high intelligence type.

"God Emperor, could you please show yourself in front of the believers? Let the believers see the power of the God Emperor. I believe they will become more pious."

The leader got into the mood quickly and immediately made a suggestion.

"In this way, I can also directly transform Anning Dao into the Empire's state religion. The only god worshipped by the Empire's state religion is the Emperor. We will dedicate everything to the great Emperor."

The leader's face was fanatical, but his words made Ke Ling's mouth twitch. Although this was not much different from what he expected, he did not expect such a fanatical archbishop. Come on! You are a little too sensible!

"Okay, let's do as you say."

Ke Ling nodded and agreed with the leader's opinion. It would be too inhumane to completely wipe out the An Ning Dao, but it would be very appropriate to take over the position and reorganize it.
