Outrageous Taoist sects

Zhou Ziming was indeed very brutal.

Ever since he arrived in the Holy Capital and moved into the Holy Hall, everything he had done made people feel that Zhou Ziming was a god of slaughter.

Some even privately called Zhou Ziming 'Devil King Zhou'.

He was a Devil King who had left a deep impression on people's hearts.

One could only wonder how a real Devil King would feel seeing a 'Devil King' in name and deed emerge from a Righteous Path School.

Of course.

A Devil King of the Demon Race is someone everyone wants to beat down.

But Zhou Ziming, this Devil King, was beloved by everyone.

There was no other reason.

Zhou Ziming was now more than just the Fifth Division Head.

The Walking Hall under his governance truly stepped up whenever something happened.

Setting aside other places, just in the area of the Holy Capital...

It wasn't as chaotic as before.

True noble families would not bully Loose Cultivators and low-level Cultivators.

Families that bullied low-level Cultivators were certainly not good people.

Whether it was Zhou Ziming or the Dao Sect Members...

What they loved doing most was killing these people.

In fact, everyone knew very well that Zhou Ziming, this house-confiscating maniac, couldn't wait for these people to make a mistake.

Counting the things Zhou Ziming had done over the past few months...

What? You kidnapped a woman? Confiscate the house!

What? You suppressed and bullied other weak families? Confiscate the house!

What? Never mind, confiscate the house!

Those families that used to make the Holy Capital pale at the mention of their names...

Now, they had all been raided by the Dao Gate, and their Family territories were publicly sold off.

Although Zhou Ziming acted too ruthlessly...

Being too ruthless had its benefits.

Now, the Holy Capital was very peaceful.

However, what changed the minds of the people in the Holy Capital the most was...

The temperament of the Dao Gate members.

If you have trouble, look for the Dao Gate.

No matter what the difficulty is, as long as you find the Dao Gate, they will inevitably be able to solve it.

If the difficulty is too great, just add more money.

Of course, the people of the Holy Capital were very fond of finding loopholes.

They would generally look for Commoner Disciples of the Dao Gate.

Commoner Disciples were new Disciples of the Dao Gate.

Such Disciples needed experience, and they were equally enthusiastic.

If there was something they couldn't solve, they would look for their Master... Of course, the higher-ups of the Dao Gate knew this and didn't pay it any mind.

Mainly, most of the Dao Gate members came from backgrounds as Loose Cultivators.

They knew the hardships of the cultivation world.

For small matters, if they could help, they would.

If I'm really unhappy, I'll take a brick and beat you up.

The Dao Gate members were both righteous and evil!

But no one said anything against the Dao Gate.

At least now that the Dao Gate was patrolling the Holy Capital...

The Holy Capital was very stable.

Whether they were Mortals or Cultivators...

Who wouldn't want to live a stable life?

However, something was a bit off today.

Because someone covered in blood ran in from outside the Holy Capital.

With a panicked expression and a face full of terror.

"Daoist, Daoist, this is bad! There's a Great Demon, a Great Demon!"

This matter happened to be seen by the patrolling Dao Gate Disciples.

The Dao Gate Disciples instantly became interested.

"Oh? A Great Demon? Really? Where? Quick, take us there!"

Nowadays, every Dao Gate Disciple had learned the new Nine Heavens Responding Thunder True Art, the Five Thunders Orthodox Method, and the Golden Light Incantation.

They really wanted to test their level of strength.

But the Holy Capital was too peaceful now.

It wasn't good for them to go looking for trouble for no reason.

It was hard to even find a bully in the Holy Capital.

Now hearing that there was a Great Demon...

They showed an unspeakable excitement and longing.

This completely baffled the person who brought the news.

Moreover, looking at the excited and ferocious smiles on the faces of these two Dao Gate Disciples, and the blood-red electric arcs flashing in their eyes...

For a moment, he suddenly felt that the so-called Great Demon outside the city didn't seem so scary anymore.

"I, I'll take you there!"

Then, an even more ridiculous thing happened.

Originally, this person had called for the White-robed Disciples, but once they heard there was a Great Demon, gradually, a group of Green-robed Dao Gate members all arrived.

They also brought along their own White-robed Disciples.

Before long, there were over a hundred people.

The messenger swallowed his saliva.

"Um, I only encountered one Great Demon!"

Then, a Red-robed Dao Gate member arrived.

"No matter, even one is enough to examine the Disciples!"

...In a ruined temple at the foot of Little Cui Mountain.

Below a ferocious statue, a small group of people were constantly kowtowing.

Their foreheads were already red and swollen, and blood was flowing non-stop.

But they still had terrified expressions and did not dare to stop.

Because all around them, people were lying everywhere.

No, they could no longer be considered people.

The human skins of those people had all vanished without a trace.

Only flesh and blood remained, along with two skinless eyeballs that stared at them fixedly.

"Hungry... hungry..."

Those skinless things kept muttering this from their mouths.

They became even more terrified.

They continued to kowtow toward the statue.

Only because as long as they kowtowed, these things would not touch them!

"Hehe... hehe..."

But just at this moment...

That eerie statue once again let out a bizarre laugh.

This laugh seemed like mockery.

It also seemed full of playfulness.

Hearing this laugh, that group of people felt somewhat hopeless.

Because letting out this laugh meant that the statue would perform another skinning.

Sure enough.

Among this group, the body of one person began to crack open from the back.

"Ah... Pfft~"

After a miserable scream, it was like a cicada shedding its skin.

Flesh and blood walked straight out from beneath that skin pouch.

Then that flesh and blood walked to the side and sat down cross-legged.

"Hungry... hungry..."

He also began to constantly mutter from his mouth.

As for that complete skin...

It walked toward the statue on its own and slowly crawled into the statue's mouth.

And after the statue swallowed this piece of skin, the statue began to peel off.

Then, the figure of a woman was seen standing in front of everyone.

And that woman was that last human skin.

Seeing this, the group of people still kneeling and worshipping all fell into despair.

Because after this statue turned into a person, she kept saying: "Hehehe..."

These people were desperate.

Because they couldn't run.

They had previously worked together to send one person out to seek help from the Walking Hall.

Now, their only hope was probably for the Dao Gate members of the Walking Hall to come quickly.

Only, could they still wait for the Dao Gate people?

"Clack clack clack clack..."

Right at this moment.

Everyone heard a familiar sound.

It was the sound of bricks colliding with each other.

"The Dao Gate people are here!"

Someone shouted excitedly.

Immediately after, everyone saw that high walls had already been built around the ruined temple.

Swish swish swish...

At this moment, countless Green-robed Dao Gate members were standing atop the high walls.

And directly facing the gate of the ruined temple, there was a Red-robed member presiding.

Boom!

The Red-robed member raised a hand.

A bolt of thunder crashed down.

The eerie Formation sealing this ruined temple was shattering.

As the Formation shattered, those Cultivators all walked out.

They were received by White-robed Dao Gate Disciples.

"This thing's strength is just at the Profound Understanding stage, perfect for examining the White-robed Disciples!"

The Green-robed members discussed among themselves.

"Such a natural examination object cannot be wasted!"

The Red-robed member also nodded.

"I'll just act as the chief examiner!"

Then the victims saw the White-robed Disciples begin to line up.

One of the White-robed Disciples then entered the ruined temple.

The woman who ate human skins was furious.

"Dammit, what do you take me for? Today, I will make you wish you were dead!"
