Chapter 149 Her God

This woman clearly held a high position within the Congregation of Self-Salvation.

The moment she appeared, Li Tianran could sense that the followers, who were on the verge of emotional collapse, regained their composure. Even Chen Ping, beneath his feet, seemed to tremble less violently.

He couldn't help but sigh, this woman really had a way with manipulating people's hearts.

She had such a tight grip on so many people, with her as their center, their god!

"Don't insult religious belief with such barbaric thinking," Li Tianran said expressionlessly, sneering at her. "Buddhism advocates equality for all living beings; monks adopt abandoned infants, teaching them to read and write. Taoism values the freedom of the Dao and often travels the world, practicing medicine and healing!"

"They would never fly into a rage over someone's careless words, causing bloodshed and tragedy."

Li Tianran looked indifferently at the Golden Lotus woman, saying each word distinctly: "What you've created can't even be called a religion... because it's a goddamn cult!"

Boom!

As soon as Li Tianran spoke these words, the originally silent church hall erupted once again.

Those followers who had been scared out of their wits were now staring at Li Tianran with bloodshot eyes, wishing they could tear him to pieces.

It was as if the most sacred thing in their hearts had been insulted by Li Tianran, plucked from the heavens and trampled underfoot!

"Cult?" The Golden Lotus woman sneered. "Base insects can never understand our realm!"

Snap!

With that, the Golden Lotus woman swiftly drew a pistol, aiming it at Li Tianran's chest: "We were worried about how to kill you, this lowly blasphemer? But it seems that concern is resolved, because you are about to die."

"Blasphemer, kneel before me! I will pray for your evil soul and send you to heaven!"

The Golden Lotus woman's expression was holy, as if delivering judgment!

"Kill him! Kill him!"

"Please take action and eliminate him! Avenge our compatriots!"

Fanatical emotions surged through the hall once more.

Even Chen Ping, who was being trampled under Li Tianran's feet, became excited at this moment, as if trying to struggle to her feet.

Li Tianran kicked her in the face without expression, and she immediately became much more docile.

"You seem to think you're very noble, that you can control everything?" Li Tianran looked at the Golden Lotus woman. "You think you can be high and mighty, arbitrarily imposing your will on others?"

"Heh... what do you want to say?" The Golden Lotus woman aimed the cold muzzle of the gun at Li Tianran, smiling mockingly.

"I want to say that the reason why religions can be passed down for so long is because of two things: ideology and power." Li Tianran glanced around the hall, speaking calmly. "Perhaps your religion possesses some ideas to control others, but your power... is insignificant in front of me!"

Whoosh!

The Golden Lotus woman's expression turned gloomy. She didn't want to waste any more words with Li Tianran and directly pulled the trigger.

Bang!

The gun fired.

Blood splattered!

But the one who screamed was not Li Tianran, but herself.

"Ah!" A hideous bloody hole appeared in the Golden Lotus woman's wrist. A Tang saber pierced through her wrist, pinning her to the wall!

She howled, and the gun in her hand fell to the ground!

"Leader!"

"The Supreme White Lion..."

In an instant, someone cried out in despair.

The god in their hearts was injured!

She was actually pinned to the wall!

"I've never seen such a stupid woman... since I dared to come here alone, it proves that I'm not afraid of any of you." Li Tianran sneered. "You actually dared to show up in front of me, do you think you're not dying fast enough?"

"Now, say it again, what is your realm? Where is your god?"

Li Tianran's cold and mocking voice echoed, each word piercing to the heart!

The Golden Lotus woman certainly knew that Li Tianran dared to come here, so he must have something to rely on.

But she couldn't leave.

If she fled, the kingdom she had painstakingly built would collapse completely, and her few days of good life would come to an abrupt end!

She had no choice!

Moreover, she believed that as long as she appeared, the situation would be stabilized, and Li Tianran wouldn't be able to cause any trouble.

She never expected that someone's speed with a blade could be faster than drawing a gun!

She didn't even know that she might not be facing a person at all.

A Li Tianran whose overall attributes had surpassed ordinary people by nearly three times could perhaps be called a "demigod"!

"Kill him!"

"Protect the Saint!"

"Kill the blasphemer!"

A group of followers swarmed up frantically, as if Li Tianran had killed their own mothers, grabbing whatever weapons they could find and attacking Li Tianran.

"We have no hatred between us, but now you want to kill me, so we have a feud." Li Tianran looked coldly at the onrushing elderly and middle-aged women, indifferently raising the pistol in his hand. "I won't be soft, and I won't indulge you just because you're old!"

Bang!

A flash of fire!

One person fell to the ground.

The gunshot rang again, and another person fell.

The followers were stunned, their frenzied emotions diminished greatly by death.

"Don't fight!" The Golden Lotus woman suddenly screamed. She staggered to her feet, staring at Li Tianran with a deadly gaze. "I admit defeat this time! Don't kill my people anymore, I'll return your parents' ashes to you! We'll call it even!"

"..." Li Tianran didn't intend to let the other party go, but he didn't want to push her to the brink at this time, causing her to destroy all the ashes in a desperate move.

"Take me to get the ashes," Li Tianran said coldly.

"Chen Ping, go and get them!" The Golden Lotus woman endured the pain and ordered Chen Ping, "Hurry!"

Li Tianran frowned, suddenly grabbed Chen Ping, and said, "I'll go with you."

"No!" Almost instantly, the Golden Lotus woman shouted sharply.

Li Tianran raised his eyebrows. The other party's abnormal behavior made him feel a strong suspicion in his heart.

He suddenly raised the gun in his hand and aimed it at the Golden Lotus woman's brow, coldly saying, "You still dare to play tricks on me now?"

"No, no, no! You've misunderstood!" The Golden Lotus woman's expression was very ugly. She explained, "The place where your parents' ashes are stored is our warehouse, and those goods are very important..."

"I insist on going to take a look!" Li Tianran said extremely stubbornly. He didn't believe the other party's words at all. The more she explained, the more it showed that there was a problem!

The Golden Lotus woman's brow twitched wildly.

She hesitated for a long time, as if her soft spot had been hit, and gritted her teeth as if making a major decision. "I can let you go to the warehouse, but there's one thing I have to say in advance! After we return your parents' ashes to you, we can even give you a lot of cash as compensation! But no matter what you see in our warehouse, you can't tell anyone!"

"Otherwise, not only me, but even you will face a great disaster!"

"This matter involves too many big shots. Once it's leaked, you and I will have no place to stand in Nancheng!"
