Hearing that, the people of Kongtong were shocked again. Their mouths were wide open.
“One or two months? My god! It’s amazing!”
They had never heard of such a thing!
“It’s incredible!”
The Kongtong sect leader took a bottle and sniffed it. He was so excited that his hands were trembling.
That was a miraculous item!
He almost fainted when he looked at the stacks and stacks of crates. At that moment, he had the urge to fall on his knees and beg the clan leader to accept them into the Union.
They were the true primitive natives!
Those people from the Land of the Gods were tycoons!
Looking at the miraculous items and thinking about his own sect, the Kongtong sect leader felt like a beggar standing in front of a group of billionaires.
Chapter 794 - Let’s Corrupt Them
All the elders of Kongtong lowered their heads in shame.
They had looked down on the people from the Land of the Gods in the past and mocked them for being primitive natives. But now, the situation was completely reversed.
At the same time, they were also extremely puzzled.
Logically speaking, the qi in the Land of the Gods had become thinner over the ages. Moreover, so many ancient sects had secluded themselves and did not leave their legacies behind. The Land of the Gods should have been in a declined state.
But now, it was clearly at its peak.
“We must join the Union, Sect Leader!”
“Yes, yes! We have to join even if we have to beg them.”
The elders pulled their sect leader over and said excitedly.
When Tang Hao and the others heard that, they were all happy.
“You’ll enjoy additional benefits if you join now! Look, this is the starter pack of pills and elixirs!”
Tang Hao took out a gift bag wrapped in a festive manner and showed it to them.
Gulp!
The cultivators of Kongtong swallowed their saliva and stared at the gift bag. Their eyes were sparkling.
“We’ll join! We’ll join! Allow me to bow to you, Clan Leader!”
They bowed respectfully, then rushed up and surrounded Tang Hao, calling him “Clan Leader” with incomparable enthusiasm.
Tang Hao smiled and said, “Welcome! From now on, we’ll create glory together!”
As he spoke, he extended his hand and shook hands with the sect leader.
He was in a very happy mood.
Now that Kongtong joined them, the strength of the Union had increased by a lot.
Then, the people went to the main hall and held a grand initiation ceremony. After that, they drank divine liquor. The people from Kongtong had never drunk such fine liquor before, and they were instantly shocked.
“What liquor is this? It’s so delicious!”
They were extremely excited and drank to their fill.
They were so drunk that they spilled half the contents of their cups.
“President, as far as we know, Shu Mountain is trying to form an alliance with the other sects to fight us, and many of them have agreed.”
Lang Yazi, the sect master of Kongtong, took a sip of liquor and said to Tang Hao.
Tang Hao nodded. He had some understanding of the situation and knew that Shu Mountain had contacted the other major sects.
That was why General Bai had come up with the idea of a propaganda war.
“How shameless. Now that they can’t beat us, they’re trying to form their own faction!” Taoist Master Qian Ji cursed angrily.
“Do you know how many sects have joined?” Tang Hao asked.
“Well… I’m not too sure. There should be many,” Lang Yazi replied.
“That’s a little troublesome!” Tang Hao said.
Shu Mountain themselves were not a big deal, nor would an alliance of three or four sects. However, if five or more sects joined forces, it would be very troublesome.
General Bai took a sip of liquor and said calmly, “That’s simple! As the saying goes, if you want to defeat the enemy, you must first break their beliefs and destroy their will.”
Tang Hao was stunned and looked at him in confusion.
“To put it simply, you have to corrupt them with temptations!” General Bai said with a smile.
“All those people are country bumpkins who have never seen the world. They grew up in a demi-world and have never been influenced by earthly desires. It’s too easy to tempt them.”
“How?” Tang Hao asked.
“There are so many ways. First, let’s make a promotional film with Hua Mountain and Kongtong as the lead actors. We can publicize our good deeds and make them envy those who joined us.
“We want to show them that the difference between them and us is like heaven and earth.
“Also! Do you know those kinds of magazines and novels? We’ll send a few truckloads of them over. Oh, right, we should show them Western women. It will definitely have a great impact on them.”
The more General Bai spoke, the more excited he became. His face was flushed.
Tang Hao and the others all had strange expressions on their faces.
“F*ck! Why are you looking at me like that? Don’t misunderstand. I’m not that kind of person. I’m very serious,” General Bai hurriedly explained.
Tang Hao smiled and flashed an expression that said, “Stop explaining. We all understand.”
As for the people of Kongtong, they all gulped and swallowed their saliva.
“See? Even those people can’t resist the temptation!” General Bai glanced at them and said.
“Of course, there are many temptations from Dongying as well. We’ll throw in all sorts of unmentionable VR games.
“That’s right, we want them to be addicted so that they will eventually become weak-willed bums.”
As he said that, General Bai slammed the table excitedly.
His eyes were sparkling.
Lang Yazi, who was sitting in front of him, immediately felt a chill down his spine.
‘F*ck! That guy is too terrifying! He’s a devil!’
Fortunately, Kongtong had joined the Union. Otherwise, they would be corrupted too.
When he thought of that situation, he could not help but shudder.
Tang Hao thought about it and realized that it was feasible.
Those people from Hua Mountain were good examples!
“Let’s do it!” Tang Hao nodded in agreement.
Soon, the Agency took action.
First, they made a promotional short film. In the film, the people from Hua Mountain and Kongtong changed into luxurious robes. Their pockets were stuffed with jade talismans, and they held bottles of elixirs.
Gleaming jade pendants hung from their waists. They were all Artifacts.
The opulence was astounding.
They began to brag about the advantages of joining the Union. They talked about how each person would be given pills and Artifacts, and the number of jade talismans they received was shocking. In short, they were in paradise.
Behind them were several voluptuous women and stacks upon stacks of gold bars.
“Are you tempted? Then quickly join us. If you join now, there will be a bonus!”
Tang Hao covered his face after watching the short film.
That was too shameful!
However, it would have a big impact on those simple-minded people.
Artifacts, pills, beautiful women, and money. They were all huge temptations.
Those promo films were copied into tablets and phones. Then, they were loaded onto cargo planes.
Chapter 795 - They Were All Corrupted
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The sun had just risen.
A group of people was patrolling near Qingcheng Mountain.
The people were somewhat listless after patrolling for an entire night. They sat down and rested for a while at the entrance to the demi-world.
<
br /> “What’s the point of patrolling? It’s not like those natives dare to attack us,” someone muttered.
“That’s right! Those natives might be quite powerful, but now that we’ve formed an alliance, they won’t dare to come!” Someone agreed.
They still felt some contempt toward the natives.
After resting for a moment, the group of people stood up.
Right at this moment, they heard a series of rumbling sounds coming from the sky not far away.
A cargo plane flew past at a low altitude, dropping down several parcels.
The people were stunned for a moment. Then, they laughed.
“It must be the same thing from last time. Are those natives idiots? Do they really think that we’ll believe what they write! Mutual respect and development? They’re all lies.” A person laughed mockingly.
“Someone light a bonfire! The elders say that if we see that thing again, we’ll have to burn it immediately.”
As he said that, he walked around in search of firewood.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Parcels fell one after another in a concentrated spot. There were nearly a hundred of them.
“Hm? It’s a little different this time. They’re all wrapped up.”
They were surprised when they saw the parcels.
Their eyes were wide open as they stared fixedly at the parcels in front of them.
An extremely beautiful and seductive woman was printed on the exterior of each of the parcels.
The people of Qingcheng blushed after staring at it for a while. The younger ones blushed even harder, and their noses were about to bleed.
They had never seen a woman’s body before in their entire lives!
“Too obscene! Too shameless!”
“That’s right! It’s too indecent to wear so little!”
They all put up righteous expressions as they spoke, but they could not shift their gazes away.
“Ahem! Stop looking. What’s there to see? This is definitely the enemy’s plot! They want to entice us. We won’t be fooled!” The leader of the group said righteously.
“Do you remember the sect leader’s teachings? Cultivators should be free of mortal desires!”
After saying that, he walked towards the parcel.
After staring at the beautiful woman for a while, he muttered, “It’s a pity that we’ll have to burn the parcel.” Following that, he said loudly, “Let’s see what’s inside.”
He opened the parcel very carefully, trying his best not to destroy the picture.
As soon as he opened it, his eyes grew wide.
He swallowed his saliva a few times. Then, he felt something hot in his nostrils, and blood flowed out.
When the others saw that, they all gathered around the parcel and stared at it.
“Damn! This is hot!” One of them muttered and wiped his nose. His hand was smeared in blood.
However, he did not notice that at all. He stared straight at the parcel, dumbfounded.
Inside the parcel were bundles of magazines. The woman on the cover dressed so little that made their noses bleed.
They stood there while wiping the blood from their noses. They were almost drooling.
“This is outrageous! The natives must be deceiving us. We can’t be fooled!”
The man in the lead wiped his saliva and shouted righteously.
However, he quickly pulled out a magazine and stuffed it into his Taoist robe.
“What are you doing, Senior Brother?” Immediately, someone reprimanded him.
‘Dammit, I’ve been discovered!’ The man was shocked, but he quickly resumed his serious demeanor. “Oh? I was planning to take it back so that I can study the enemy’s deception.”
“Then I want one too!”
The people rushed forward and stuffed the magazines into their Taoist robes.
Then, they opened another parcel.
“Hmm? What’s this?”
They saw square boxes in the parcel.
“Tablet computer? What’s that?”
The leader saw several paper labels stuck on the box. One said “Tablet Computer,” and the other said “Open here.”
He followed the instructions on the label, opened the box, and took out the tablet inside.
There were a few pieces of paper stuck on it. One of them said “Tap here.”
He hesitated for a moment and tapped the button lightly. The screen lit up, and the image that appeared on it almost caused his nose to bleed.
The other people surrounded him, and they became dumbfounded. Blood started to flow out of their noses.
“F*ck! This is too much! I can’t take it anymore!”
They all crouched down, and their faces flushed red.
The leader was a little nervous. He poked at the screen a few times before the video on the screen paused.
He finally heaved a sigh of relief. However, when he looked at the tablet, his eyes lit up.
‘This is a treasure!’
Everyone was excited.
“We can’t burn these things! We have to hide it and not let the elders see it.”
“Right, right. We have to dig a hole and bury all these!”
They immediately set off and found a safe place to dig a hole.
Meanwhile, the other people opened some more parcels and found magazines, video game consoles, smartphones, novels, and even more tablets.
They watched the promotional short film and were shocked. They felt that their entire worldview had been overturned.
‘F*ck! Are those natives so rich?
‘That’s impossible!
‘Shouldn’t the natives be very poor? That’s why they’re called primitive natives!
‘However, there are so many Artifacts, beautiful women, gold bars, and even alchemical pills in the video. How dazzling!
‘Compared to our sect, it’s like heaven and earth!’
“I’m so envious! So many beautiful women!”
“So many Artifacts!”
They all swallowed their saliva enviously.
“It must be fake!”
After they were done being envious, they could only comfort themselves and bury those items. They took a little of everything and brought them into the demi-world.
From then on, they slowly began to be addicted to games and pornography.
They even shared those things among the disciples.
The disciples became addicted one by one.
As the days passed, the Qingcheng disciples became thinner and thinner and more and more dispirited. All they could think of were video games and beautiful women.
As they became more and more depraved, their yearning for the outside world also grew stronger.
The elders eventually discovered those items. They confiscated and burned them, but the cargo planes keep on bringing new batches. They could not stop everything.
Finally, the elders fell to the temptation. They started playing video games and watching videos, and they were even more excited than the disciples.
Chapter 796 - More and More Defections
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Qingcheng Mountain was originally vibrant and bustling.
Now, it was a mess.
The disciples huddled in their rooms in groups of twos and threes, smoking cigarettes and playing games. They were having a lot of fun.
Some of them were huddled in their beds, secretly watching videos. They were indulging in their fantasies.
Two or three times a day was the minimum. Some even beat themselves off seven or eight times a day until their legs were weak.
That was a one-way trip to hell.
Their cultivation bases were low, and they could not withstand so much physical exertion anyway. They were originally full of energy and had strong bodies, but their physical health deteriorated.
In serious cases, they became like zombies.
Not only the disciples, but some of the elders had
also fallen. When the elders confiscated those goods from their disciples, they secretly kept the best ones for themselves. Eventually, they did not have the discipline to cultivate or manage their disciples.
Without a leader, the sect gradually fell into decline.
It was like that in Qingcheng, but the other sects were not any better.
The Agency sent planes every day to drop countless parcels outside each sect, replacing those that the sects burned away.
Some sects realized the danger from the start. They resolutely resisted the temptation and burned batch after batch. However, the more they tried to hide those things from the disciples, the greater the temptation became.
The disciples managed to sneak some of the items to safety, and those items became seeds of corruption.
Eventually, it spread like a wildfire.
Even Shu Mountain was affected.
General Bai had placed Shu Mountain as the main focus of his plan. Every day, three planes would fly over, dropping parcels and scattering them all over the mountain.
At first, the parcels only contained tablets, mobile phones, magazines, and books. Later, cigarettes, cigars, alcohol, and other things were added to the parcels.
“Outrageous! Those natives are too despicable. They’re trying to tempt us!”
The Shu Mountain sect leader was furious when he saw those things.
He sneered and said, “Those natives are wasting their time. We Shu Mountain people are all strong-willed. How can we be tempted? They’re too naive.”
“You’re right, Sect Leader!” The elders agreed.
They were very confident in the willpower of their disciples.
Soon, they realized that something was amiss. Those things started to circulate among the disciples. Each of them became addicted and stopped cultivating.
Some were addicted to games, some were addicted to women, and some were addicted to smoking and drinking.
The alcohol was undiluted divine liquor. Those with lesser cultivation bases would collapse after drinking it.
Shu Mountain, the number one sect of the ancient cultivation world, was in a mess.
“This is outrageous!”
