Chapter 169: A "Great Scholar" Argues for Me

The Xiweishen Cult also arrested a large number of people every now and then to be used as nourishment for the evil soul masters' cultivation.

The entire Barak Kingdom, except for the city of Soto, the headquarters of the False God Cult, maintained superficial prosperity. Famine was happening in almost all other places. Only 5.2% ​​of the people could barely make a living, and the rest all went out to beg. Refugees and beggars were everywhere, robbers and criminals were rampant, and cannibalism became a common phenomenon. The people lived in dire straits.

You should know that the Barak Kingdom was once one of the most important grain producing areas in Douluo Continent, and there were a large number of passes guarding it. It was the best among the four kingdoms of the Tiandou Empire, but now it has become like this.

The nobles in the Kingdom of Barak still hold banquets every day, and it is unknown how many civilians can be fed by the food wasted every day.

Even so, the nobles in the Kingdom of Barak were still shouting slogans, raising taxes, and calling on the poor to save food. It was ridiculous. The poor still had food! It was clearly the sin of the nobles. They enjoyed all the benefits, but the common people had to bear the cost. The food produced by the poor was enough for everyone to have enough food and drink, but the poor had no food at all.

Now, the criminals in Douluo Da are unwilling to flee to the City of Slaughter to avoid being wanted. Not only can they not get out once they go there, but it is also full of dangers. It is better to go to the Kingdom of Barak. After all, what can be done in the City of Slaughter, can also be done in Barak; what cannot be done in the City of Slaughter, can also be done in the Kingdom of Barak, and the cost is lower!

The Xiwei Divine Religion warmly welcomed this. Those criminals were all good candidates for becoming evil soul masters. Each of them was ruthless, sinful, and murderous, which was consistent with the three views of the Xiwei Divine Religion!
There is no need for brainwashing at all. You can plant the demon seed on the spot by entering the Holy Spring. In a few days, the demonic energy and the demon seed will be perfectly integrated, and you will become a true evil soul master.

As for the fact that all the people of Barak died, Xiwei Aoxie didn't feel sorry at all. The lives that died in torture could bring greater resentment and would be of greater help to the evil soul masters' practice. They even wished it were so.

The rich have wine and meat, while the poor freeze to death on the streets. This line of poetry by Du Fu is still too subtle.

Zhuang Xingyu murmured to himself, "Today, there are still too many people suffering in Douluo Continent, and they all need me, Zhuang Xingyu, to change all this! I have a heavy responsibility on my shoulders, and I must not slack off. You just wait a few more years, and when I have completed my divine test and am no longer afraid of the Black Devil, as long as you are innocent people, I will definitely free you completely! Let you live a good life."

Under the high pressure of the Xiwei God Cult, the contradictions within the Barak Kingdom became more and more serious. Every day, people stood up to resist because they could not survive. Although they were quickly suppressed by the Xiwei God Cult, the scale of the rebellion was getting bigger and bigger.

In a small town in the south of the Kingdom of Barak, two groups of people were arguing fiercely.

Party A is composed of people who came to Barak Kingdom from other forces. Some were brainwashed and tricked into Barak Kingdom; some were escaped criminals, such as Tan Wu; and some were simply stupid. These people shouted: "Under the rule of Xiwei God, the air in the entire Barak Kingdom is sweet, there is no dust or garbage on the ground, and the people of Xiwei God are of very high quality! They selflessly help us and give us a brand new life. I love Barak Kingdom, I love Xiwei God, this is heaven!"

Most of the B party are ordinary poor people in the Barak Kingdom, and a small number are enlightened nobles who sincerely hope that the Barak Kingdom will become powerful. "Come on! You are a bunch of fools. You are cheated but still counting money for others. Don't you know that the Xiwei God Cult is a group of monkeys who love to eat bananas? The only fate waiting for you is death! Only the extreme Yin-Yang Leopard Clan can save the Barak Kingdom!" The A party was exposed and became angry. "Bah! You are talking nonsense. The Xiwei God Cult is not a group of monkeys who eat bananas. They are the most civilized and freest!"

"And the Jidao Yin Yang Leopard Clan is a group of warmongers. All the people there are demons. They only know how to fight and kill all day long. They are barbaric and rude!"

"You guys are so stupid to go and lick the Extreme Yin Yang Leopard Clan. No matter how powerful they are, what does it have to do with you? Do you think they will pay attention to you if you go and lick their boots? Don't forget that you are the people of the Barak Kingdom, you guys who betrayed the Barak Kingdom!"

"I think you are just a bunch of rotten eggs. The Extreme Yin Yang Leopard Clan really likes to eat eggs. Sooner or later, you will be made into egg drop soup!"

There were many people on the B side who had been helped by the Mission Pavilion. They could not bear to hear any words that slandered the Jidao Yin Yang Leopard Clan, so they picked up their weapons and started to attack.

"I am just a rough man, I don't understand the great principles you talk about. I only know that when I was treated unfairly, oppressed by the nobles, and bullied by the fake believers, it was the Mission Pavilion of the Extreme Yin Yang Leopard Clan that helped me prove my innocence and helped me survive. At that time, I cried to the sky and the earth but no one answered, I was planning to end my life, but the Extreme Yin Yang Leopard Clan saved me from the water and fire!"

The rest of the people on Party B also began to argue, "I remember that all the people on Party A came from other forces, right? Are you scolding yourselves?"

"You are still deceiving yourself. Have you been to Beiyuan? Have you ever heard of the extreme Yin Yang Leopard Clan? You don't know anything, but you are just talking nonsense here. Don't you even look at the life you are living now? You are still pretending to be rich. Have you ever investigated Barak's village?
Do you know that in the entire Barak Kingdom, more than 80% of the people live in villages, and I am a villager!
Before the Xiwei God Cult came, although life in my village was not rich, we could still have enough food. But when the Xiwei God Cult came, everything changed. First, everyone was poisoned inexplicably, and when more than 2 people died, the Xiwei God Cult suddenly sent people to treat everyone easily. I have reason to suspect that this is a play directed and performed by the Xiwei God Cult!

At that time, I didn't think too much about it. I naively thanked the Xiwei God Cult, but later I found something wrong. Since the Xiwei God Cult came, people have disappeared every few days in our area. We have been poisoned three times in three years. The population has decreased by 3%. The vacant land and property have all been occupied by the Xiwei God Cult. As for us who are still alive, we have less and less land, but we have to pay more and more food. We can't survive at all."

A peddler also said, "Brother, what you said makes sense. I was lucky enough to go to Beiyuan once. The people there live a rich life and have bright eyes. Every child can go to school for three years for free when they are 3 to 6 years old. Beiyuan has good public security. No soul master dares to kill ordinary people at will. I carried goods worth one thousand gold soul coins there and never encountered a robber. After I pulled the goods back to Barak, I was robbed at home. This is my home, how ironic."

Although the people of Party B knew that what Party A said was right, they still stubbornly continued to refute. In fact, they also wanted to leave the Barak Kingdom. They thought that the Xiwei God Cult was very good before, but after coming here, they found that the Xiwei God Cult did not regard them as human beings at all, and the only purpose was to squeeze out their wealth. These people now regretted it and wanted to return to the original forces that they had tried their best to discredit.

But no force will want such traitors, and all that awaits them is becoming food for evil soul masters.
