In an estate in the town of Orin, there was a luxurious wool carpet on the ground and servants carrying silver platters filled with various foods to the feast.
The band was playing dance music. Ten or so dancing girls dressed in gauze twirled their waists, danced gracefully on the carpet. Their eyes and eyebrows were charming, and they occasionally flirted with the guests sitting on the carpet.
Compared to the ceremony to welcome security officials, the lineup here was much greater.
Sitting on the main seat was a Xingdu person with silver hair. His body was still strong, calmly holding a mug of beer and drinking. Sitting next to him were four other Xingdu people, all of whom lived in luxury, grabbing food from the dinner plate with their hands.
All five of the candidate councilors were here. After the original five councilors were killed, they quickly accepted the inheritance of the former councilors, and their wealth grew. In Avonigarda City, they may not be considered anything, but in Orin Town, they were already first-class figures.
“So you talked about your brick factory?”
Susanto asked. He was the most powerful and influential of the five, cruel and ruthless. It is said that one of the families of the five previous councilors survived the massacre by luck and was executed by his henchmen.
“Yes… yes, we just chatted for a bit, and he let me go.”
An ice basin was placed at the edge of the carpet, with chunks of ice lowering the room temperature with a chill, but even so, Sandy still felt a dry heat.
“Sandy!”
A fat candidate councilor slammed his hand on the carpet, knocking over the silver platter, and the juice splashed all over Sandy.
“Do you think we are fools?”
“Calm down, Sharuva, I believe that candidate councilor Sandy is a sensible person and won’t make foolish and regretful choices.” Susanto finished the beer in his mug and signaled for a servant to wipe off the stains on Sandy.
“Of course… of course… Mr. Susanto.”
Sandy was so scared that he didn’t even dare to sweat, he stiffly let the beautiful maid wipe his clothes for him.
“It’s said that the security officer brought two beautiful women to take up his post?” Another candidate councilor, Selim, was different from the other councilors, he hugged a female slave in his arms, “Speaking of which, the women of Orissa are too ugly. If I could taste the flavor of those two women, it would be great.”
“It’s just a Western Xia person, not an Eastern Xia person, sending two subordinates can kill him tonight. Selim wants a woman, then those two Xia women can be kept as female slaves. Don’t we do this to the sons and daughters of the Balit family?”
Sharuva tore off a big piece of chicken and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing.
Balit was one of the former councilors killed by Mahad.
The remaining two candidate councilors, Elino and Tabor, were somewhat dissatisfied with Susanto’s enthusiasm, their enthusiasm was lacking.
They respectively operate horse farms and cattle farms, with thousands of livestock, because they do not reside in the Orin town and did not receive much in the distribution of the former councilors’ property in that frenzy.
Just as the five people were conducting a feast with their own ulterior motives, Susanto’s butler suddenly stumbled in.
“Susanto, no good, all the cultists in the town have been arrested by the new security officer and are going to be shot to death on the square in front of the town!”
The butler’s face was pale, some were out of breath, clearly he was frightened.
“What!”
Susanto stood up directly, and because he was too shocked, he stepped on the plate in front of him and almost slipped.
The other candidate councilors were also shocked and pale, Sandy was so scared that he directly peed his pants.
In the Orissa jurisdiction, those of them with a little worth did not believe in the Lord of Souls, even if they did not believe, they had to pretend to believe.
The Pancaya Council only pretended to govern the Orissa jurisdiction, the real ruler here is always the Soul Sect.
“How could it be! How dare that security officer? And he only arrived in Orin Town for less than a day, how could he catch those prestigious clergymen so quickly?”
Susanto spoke in a hoarse voice, they couldn’t afford the wrath of the Soul Cult.
Sharuva grabbed Sandy’s collar and lifted him up.
“You! Is it you! Did you betray the location of the clergymen to that damn security officer?!”
“No…tru…truly not…I didn’t.”
The smelly urine dripped down Sandy’s pants and onto the carpet, he choked while defending himself, he was about to cry.
“Go! First go stop that damn security officer!”
Susanto regained his composure and spoke in a panic.
At this time, the square in Orin Town was already filled with people, far exceeding the number of people who came to welcome Li Mu on the day of his appointment.
There were angry followers of the Soul Master among the crowd, some were indifferently watching, and some were secretly happy.
The clergy of the Soul Cult are naturally not ascetics, quite a number of them can be described as standard villains, accumulating wealth first and preaching second. More than a few rascals and idlers pretend to be devout followers of the Soul Master and take advantage of the opportunity.
They forcibly occupy land, lend and collect debts, open casinos, and force people to ruin their families, accumulating a large amount of public resentment. But in the Orissa jurisdiction, if someone dared to express their dissatisfaction with the Soul Cult, they would be hanged dead on a tree at most the next day.
People dare to be angry but dare not speak, they can only express their feelings with their eyes.
Today, the cultist and their dogs of the Soul Cult in Orin Town are tied up with their hands behind their backs, kneeling in a row on the square.
Their mouths are spewing filthy words, and they are frantically cursing Li Mu.
Li Mu held a sword, swung his sword and split. The sharp blade passed by, and a Xingdu man who cursed the most ferociously, his head slid down from his neck like a ripe fruit.
A chorus of exclamations erupted from the onlookers.
At the moment when the blood sprayed out, all the cultists became quiet. Even in the previous moment, the cultists thought that the security officer would not dare to kill, this was just a means for him to negotiate with the Soul Sect.
“The Lord of Souls has been watching us, how dare you slaughter the lamb belonging to Him, He will bring disaster upon your head, your soul will gradually decay, your flesh will spawn maggots, the most painful death is waiting for you!”
A devotee recited fervently, Li Mu waited until he recited all the prayers, then he killed him with a single slash.
“When I dragged him out from the woman, he didn’t look like a cultist at all, a false believer became a fanatical believer under my blade, the Lord of Souls should thank me.”
Li Mu shook off the blood on the blade, and spoke to the remaining cultists.
The cultists all shuddered, they had never seen such a fearless person.
“You will die, those title cultists will definitely avenge us, you will definitely die, we will wait for you in the Source Ocean!”
