Chapter 1128: Chapter 1128
According to the framework of fantasy novels, every worldview has a gigantic supervillain organization whose goal besides world conquest is, well, world conquest. Unexpectedly, the inevitable still came.
This so-called Holy Messenger, except for not laughing like "Jie Jie Jie," otherwise perfectly fits the role of a soy sauce extra character in such an organization.
If this boast was made elsewhere, he might have gotten away with it, but unfortunately, he picked the wrong place this time, because standing in front of him is the Crown Prince of the most mysterious, terrifying, powerful, and yet most low-key organization on the entire Haotian Continent.
"Sun Heaven Sect?" Not only the people of Lingyun Sect but even the Royal Family and this Holy Messenger showed expressions of surprise.
What is this Sun Heaven Sect? Never heard of it. Could it be a force from outside the Golden Sacred Dynasty?
But considering the incredibly powerful inventions of Zhang Menglong and the precious items like the Tian Yang Crystal, Lieyang Crystal, and Martial Crystals he can effortlessly produce, there might indeed be an unimaginably powerful force behind him.
"What Sun Heaven Sect, I’ve never heard of it," the Holy Messenger showed a disdainful expression. Although this young man is indeed somewhat peculiar, the name Sun Heaven Sect doesn’t ring any bell for him.
Across the entire Haotian Continent, he knows all the dynasties and sects above rank six. If he hasn’t heard of it, it’s probably a sect that’s not even at rank six, and such a force doesn’t even catch his eye!
"You haven’t heard of it because you’re ignorant!" Zhang Menglong said, "Disciples of the Sun Heaven Sect are spread across the world. They possess unique skills, are wealthy, handsome, and articulate. Each one of them is a talent!"
"Is there really such a sect?" The Holy Messenger couldn’t help but question himself; how could he have never heard of such an impressive sect?
"And you? Holy Sect? What’s that?" Zhang Menglong said, "I never bully nobodies."
"Hahaha, nobodies? Since when did our Holy Church of Shadow become nobodies?" The Holy Messenger laughed arrogantly.
"Holy Church of Shadow?" Hearing this name, the Royal Family’s expressions turned serious immediately.
The Holy Church of Shadow is anything but unknown; on the contrary, it is notoriously infamous! But all its notoriety is infamy.
This is an organization that has existed since the birth of the Haotian Continent. They appear amidst the conflicts of various dynasties and sects; wherever there’s slaughter, their shadow can be seen.
Their sole purpose for existence is to dominate the entire Haotian Continent!
Nonetheless, the Haotian Continent isn’t theirs alone. The top forces on the continent, namely the Three Saints, Four Societies, Six Palaces, Eight Sects, and Twelve Dynasties, are not to be trifled with. Although individually they aren’t a match for the Holy Church of Shadow, when united, even the Holy Church of Shadow dares not act rashly.
Apart from Zhang Menglong’s Anti-Pornography Task Force, the Holy Church of Shadow maintains a delicate balance with these leading powers.
Besides causing conflicts, the Holy Church of Shadow has also committed numerous heinous acts like murder and arson, and they have even conducted horrific human experiments to cultivate powerful martial artists!
They search across the Haotian Continent for exceptionally gifted talents, using various means to bring them to the Holy Church of Shadow, then find ways to study their spirit roots and even bloodlines. It is said they once captured a few Saint Heirs from Holy Lands.
More terrifying is that they have genuinely made some discoveries and, through experimenting on martial artists, have not only created martial artists with multiple spirit roots but even invented artificial Divine Bodies.
Even more abominable, they’ve fused humans and demon beasts in experiments, creating half-human, half-demon monsters; people across the Haotian Continent generally try to avoid them.
The phrase "Holy Church of Shadow" even instilled some fear in the hearts of Lingyun Sect disciples. Was their Sect Master mad to collaborate with such a notorious organization?
"Brother Zhang, this organization is no joke!" Qi Xiu discreetly explained the situation concerning the Holy Church of Shadow to Zhang Menglong.
"Wuhu! Sorry, I take back what I said earlier!" Zhang Menglong said, "Of course, I mean the part about you being a nobody; your organization does indeed have some philosophical depth. Although your deeds are unsavory, the scientific approach to advancing the world deserves commendation."
What? He actually praised the Holy Church of Shadow?
"However, in the eyes of my Sun Heaven Sect, you are still rubbish!"
"Alright, to dare call our Holy Church of Shadow rubbish, you’re the first!" The Holy Messenger gritted his teeth, "Today, no matter what, I’ve remembered your Sun Heaven Sect’s name."
"No, no, no, you’ve misunderstood," Zhang Menglong added, "My point is not only is your Holy Church of Shadow trash, but every force on the Haotian Continent, without exception, is trash!"
"Hahahaha, bold arrogance, I like it!" Surprisingly, the Holy Messenger showed a glimmer of appreciation towards Zhang Menglong, "You’re a talent; how about joining our Holy Sect? I’m willing to recommend you into our sect; we need talents like you!"
"No, no, no, you should join our Eastern Depot department of the Sun Heaven Sect; our Eastern Depot also needs talents like you."
The Holy Messenger naturally didn’t know what Eastern Depot meant, and he didn’t think much of it. His intention to recruit Zhang Menglong was not because of his abilities but rather for those two weapons!
"Of course, as a condition, your Italian Cannon Plus and Italian Cannon Max, you must hand over the manufacturing methods of these two spiritual artifacts to the organization."
"Sure," Zhang Menglong said, "I’ll sell it to you as a patent; 1 million Martial Crystals for the Italian Cannon Max, and 10 million Martial Crystals for the Italian Cannon Max."
"Are you joking?" The Holy Messenger picked up on the sarcasm in Zhang Menglong’s words.
"Nonsense, it was you who started joking first. I have intellectual property rights; you think you can get it for free? I’ve got a word for you, scram!"
"Are you playing with me?" The Holy Messenger’s face darkened immediately, and he began to emit an overwhelming energy, dwarfing Lingyun Sect’s Sect Master Lingmeng tenfold!

"A martial artist of the Mystic-Breaking Realm," Zhang Menglong laughed, "No wonder you have the nerve to stand up for Lingyun Sect."
"Since you know I’m Mystic-Breaking Realm, it’d be best if you surrender obediently. Your Italian Cannon Max cannot hurt me!" said the Holy Messenger, "Hand over what I want, and perhaps I’ll spare your life."
"Oh wow, I’m so scared, Mystic-Breaking First Realm, huh," Zhang Menglong said exaggeratedly, "Lingmeng, is this your big leg to rely on?"
"Hmph!" Lingmeng didn’t even glance at Zhang Menglong. If it weren’t for the circumstances, he would never collaborate with the Holy Church of Shadow, for in many people’s minds, including those of the Lingyun Sect disciples, the Holy Church of Shadow is a cult. Once allied, Lingyun Sect might also be branded as a cult.
But history is written by victors. If they could seize control of the entire Golden Sacred Dynasty, who would know it was with the Holy Church of Shadow’s help? Latest content published on nοvelfire.net
As for the people within the sect, there are plenty; if necessary, they can all be killed. Great accomplishments require no trifling matters!
"Don’t misunderstand; I just wanted to tell you that your big leg isn’t thick enough!"
