Chapter 755 52: Sect Hierarch of the Devil Sect, Grand Solar Venerable Sect

Duncan pondered for a moment and then slowly said, "If we plan to emerge."

"We must sweep everything away with lightning speed!"

No one understands better than him how to vie for supremacy in the world.

In today's chaotic world, a protracted war is absolutely out of the question. We must act swiftly; only with speed can we minimize casualties, intimidate enemies, and achieve the most astonishing results in the shortest time.

His foundational base is within the territory of Nan Han, so the first one to eliminate is Liu Chang.

But right now, they have a problem.

The issue is that they have no money, no food, and no people. Though in a world with powerful forces, these can all be seized, but things that don't belong to you are never quite as easy to use.

After contemplating for a moment, Duncan said, "Over ten years ago, Zhang Yuxian led an uprising in Boluo County."

"He called his army the Red Army, proclaimed himself King of the Central Eight Nations, and changed the era name to Yongle."

"Although this rebel army was later defeated, and Zhang Yuxian was killed in Jinling, there are still remnants of it operating in the southern border region."

"We can subdue them and use them as our base."

The tyranny of Nan Han led to continuous uprisings. Back then, Zhang Yuxian gathered more than a dozen rebel groups, forming the Red Army with over a hundred thousand people. After being defeated, some rebels scattered and fled, and in recent years, those who killed officials and instigated revolts were mostly their branches.

These people can be used, but they must first be cleansed.

The rebel forces in the Guangdong and Guangxi regions are formidable, combining the styles of both provinces, with the ruthlessness of the later generations' wolf soldiers.

At this moment, Lady Jade Face, who had been silent all along, suddenly said, "Relying solely on them might not be enough."

"We must also find another foundation."

She suddenly felt a bit regretful for having attained the Dao Entrance Realm through the Way of Forgetting Emotions.

If she hadn't practiced the Way of Forgetting Emotions, perhaps she would truly become a goddess.

Duncan slowly nodded and turned to look at the stunning beauty. His look was like glancing at an ex-girlfriend, with little emotion. This gaze made Lady Jade Face's heart ache, an indescribable sadness.

To achieve great things, one must not be entangled with women.

Finding a woman is something to do in leisure.

Duncan turned to Yun Zhike, beside him, and slowly said, "You are well-informed."

"Do you know about any activities of the Grand Ming Sect recently?"

The magic cult has six branches, and the Grand Ming Sect is what will later become the Ming Cult.

On hearing Duncan's words, others looked surprised, not knowing why he suddenly mentioned the Ming Cult.

Yun Zhike thought for a moment and cautiously said, "The people of the Grand Ming Sect move in mysterious ways, but indeed, recently someone saw the Saint Mother of the Grand Ming Sect in Jingnan."

"As for other masters of the Ming Cult, I'm afraid it's difficult to get information."

"Perhaps some in the demonic sects might know something."

Duncan nodded, not surprised. The Saint Mother has indeed been appearing frequently over the years, and Monk Lustless has even pursued her.

If he is to pacify the world with lightning speed, then every bit of useful power must be utilized. Once used up, it can be discarded; after all, he's just a scoundrel.

The Ming Cult can be used, but it must be used carefully.

Duncan sat down and pondered for a long time before opening his mouth to speak: "I want to take down the Ming Cult first, then conquer the six branches of the magic cult."

"If successful, South Han could be destroyed in at most a year."

"Then march northward!"

The style of the magic cults is that the strong are revered.

Duncan likely won't be able to leverage the forces of the Daoist and Buddhist sects because if he wants funds and resources, he would surely target the Buddhist sects first. Although the Daoist sects have less wealth, they'd still need to be exploited; even the gold dust on the Dao Ancestor's statue needs to be scraped off to relieve disaster-stricken people.

Among the six branches of the magic cult, the Grand Ming Sect is the easiest for Duncan to conquer. If he uses the Ming Cult as a base, it would be much easier for him to destroy South Han.

Duncan has no particular connection to the Ming Cult, but the one whom the Ming Cult worships he not only knows, but is also quite familiar with.

And if he needs to default on debts in the future, it would be him in person taking the blame. At worst, he'd just owe the debt for now.

No one understands better than me how to defer payments.

Red Army, Ming Cult.

This foundational base is somewhat similar to Zhu Yuanzhang's in later generations, but Duncan faces stronger enemies. He cannot act recklessly; when he does, it must be with thunderous momentum, leaving the enemy no time to react or make any effective countermeasures.

At this time, Mongolia has not yet risen, but the Eternal Heaven under the All Spirits Faith is also his potential force.

Before Duncan takes action, those magic cult members lurking around Liu Chang in the territory of South Han must be cleaned up.

The people around Liu Chang, like Fan Huzi, Seductive Pig, and Lu Qiongxi, must all be dealt with.

On hearing Duncan's words, Yun Zhike became excited. After thinking for a moment, he said, "My lord, I have a way to find the Saint Mother of the Grand Ming Sect."

"But I'll need a few days to prepare."

From Persia came the Ming Cult.

The people present didn't know why Duncan was so confident in taking down the Ming Cult, but Yun Zhike had just heard of Duncan's exploits upon entering the Dao, and thereby broke through the barrier to innate martial arts. At this moment, he had essentially become Duncan's fanatic.

The lord says he can conquer the Ming Cult, so he surely can.

First, apprehend the Saint Mother, then force the Divine Ming to appear.

If he can devour the entire Ming Cult in one fell swoop, no demonic force within the South Han would be able to contend with them.

Grand Ming Sect, magic cult leader.

In later generations, Fang La also launched an uprising in the name of the Ming Cult, and he too changed the era name to Yongle, exactly the same as Zhang Yuxian's era name.

But the era name Yongle must be used by Zhu Di to be considered legitimate.

The Ming Cult continued to evolve and merge, leading to the Red Turban Army, and the prophecy 'The Maitreya is born, the Ming King appears.' At the time, many rebel armies called themselves 'Demon Soldiers.'

On credit!

First, offer credit!

At worst, just owe it for now. In the future, when we take the holy mountain, the debt can be repaid, and if not, it will be defaulted upon.

After all, Duncan has already secured an interest-free loan.

The one from the Zoroastrianism indeed gave him certain quotas, as for how to handle it after they've been used up, that's beyond what mortals should worry about; if capable, confront his true self in the Dimension Space.

A genuine scoundrel uses what's available first.

Since he is to unleash his full potential in this world, the 'sun' divine position he's currently refining should be ready as a backup plan.

After all, Sun worship is akin to Fire worship.

My being is light, also the great sun.
