Chapter 1708: Chapter 107: A New Prophecy (2)


"But Grandpa, recently I keep dreaming of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, where a group of monsters descends, turning the continent into a river of blood..."


Hearing Guna’s explanation, Norman’s face immediately changed. His granddaughter’s premonitions were never off the mark.


Without this guiding light, he would’ve long ended up like other cult companions — ground into dust by others.


"Guna, I’ll handle this matter. Don’t tell anyone outside!"


After pondering for a moment, Norman seriously instructed her.


Since his granddaughter became powerful, he had reduced contact with his subordinates to avoid exposing his identity.


Now he had no choice but to act; he didn’t care if the continent was thrown into chaos, as long as it didn’t affect him.


Having lost his ambition, Norman only wanted to be a good grandfather.


According to historical myths and legends, those with prophetic abilities are always movers and shakers of their era.


They either become great heroes revered by the masses or fall into infamy as demons.


Given the backdrop of the fall of the Divine Spirit era, the dangers are obvious, and Norman didn’t want his granddaughter caught up in such turmoil.


The entire continent was affected, so avoiding it completely was impossible; the best choice was to find someone taller to bear the brunt first.


Without hesitation, Norman immediately thought of faking a cover-up.


The time to test the professional quality of the cult organization had arrived!


Inventing a contemporary diviner posed too much risk of exposure, better to pick a historical figure from the river of time.


Fortunately, all the major forces on the continent were collecting ancient mythological books, with relics surfacing now and then.


Another piece of ancient ruins emerging wasn’t a surprising occurrence.


As long as the news spread out, it would become a problem for the higher-ups of the major forces to handle, rather than leaving the grandfather and granddaughter to worry on their own.


...


After all, only a few wanted to retire; more chose to continue mixing in with the cult group.


Whether there was a future or not didn’t matter that much. The key is, joining a cult means a path of no return.


Unless their faith is devout enough, it’s hard to resist various temptations.


The agents sent by the Clergy, very few were truly fighting for faith, most were in a manipulated state, having fallen long ago.


Losing their constraints, apart from having more freedom, didn’t affect these people conducting cult activities.


Without the Divine Spirit as a towering presence in their hearts, the behavior of various cult organizations instead became increasingly rampant.


Arrogance invites calamity, and rampant cult activities soon attracted attacks from local nobles.


Ordinary people are easily fooled, but they lack military force. Following along with flag waving and shouting is fine, but starting a rebellion with them is a challenge.


Everywhere was in turmoil, and Snow Moon Territory was no exception.


However, the situation here was special; the garrison was slightly more than a bit, with young men all under reserve status, restrained by military law.


There was also a grassroots baojia system among the populace, with management down to the village level, greatly hindering the spread of cult ideas.


The fall of the Lord of the Dawn brought a loss of faith, which was indeed a big hassle.


But the renowned Hudson himself was the Kingdom’s guardian, somewhat providing a substitute.


The territory’s law stipulated that reports of cult organization member activities would receive a minimum reward of five gold coins.


One moment everyone was chatting happily, agreeing to work together for the "great cause of the true god," the next moment someone went out to report and claim the reward.


With cult members being caught one after another, it quickly drew Hudson’s attention.


Undoubtedly, these cult organizations were definitely outsiders.


The old, well-established cult groups within the Kingdom had all suffered losses under Lord Ha, aware that Lord Ha’s territory was a forbidden zone.


Even if they developed their organizations, they couldn’t stir up trouble.


Challenging the continent’s top general right from the start, cult organization leaders remarked: they may be ruthless, but they aren’t witless.


"Have you found the mastermind yet?"


Hudson asked with concern.


Cult organizations sound very terrifying, but most of them are ordinary people; cultivators are a tiny minority.


Things like spreading the faith of the Evil God and expanding the organization are carried out by ordinary people.


Cultivators are usually the middle and upper management of cult organizations, except in the start-up phase, they typically don’t get personally involved in such high-risk activities as developing followers.


"No!


Duke, these cult organization members have too complex a background. The intelligence gathered from interrogations indicates they come from over a dozen different cult organizations.


Aside from a few well-established cult organizations, the rest are newly emerged, unheard of before.


Judging from their way of doing things, these guys are obviously novices, lacking the rigor of those old, well-established cult organizations.


Presumably, these are small cult organizations, secretly developing followers under their name."


Michel calmly replied.


In combating cults, the Security Department has abundant experience. He’s long been well-versed in handling cult organization tactics.


Which cult organization excels at what, and is known for using certain methods in spreading their cult, is no secret at all.


In the underground world, the Snow Moon Territory’s Security Department is also a renowned presence.


Not because of their strong combat power, but because of their quick response, often locating cult hideouts in the shortest time.


Upon discovering cult organizations, never dragging their feet, they immediately dispatch the garrison for a siege.


And happens that Hudson’s private army is formidable; no matter which cult organization, they end up as corpses here.


"Involve the July Club in the investigation, and find the mastermind as soon as possible.
