Chapter 301 The Twilight Rat Emperor! Ruthless Crushing! The Battle for the Holy Maiden! The Masterm
Chapter 301 The Twilight Rat Emperor! Ruthless Crushing! The Battle for the Holy Maiden! The Mastermind Lu Yu (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
When it comes to the most exciting place in the league, most people will immediately think of the entertainment district, which is known as paradise on earth.
As long as you have money, you can enjoy all kinds of pleasures. Whether it's humans, other races, monsters, or even mutants, they can find it for you. Whether it's a high and mighty princess or a haughty little imp, etc...
It also comes with a large number of entertainment options.
There's nothing that Happy Street can't do!
There was even a slogan:
Ideals are finite, but desires are infinite.
Enjoy yourself first, then get back to work!
This has attracted a large number of evil god cults, and even desire-based evil gods, to take root and spread their influence.
Even a seasoned traveler like Zhou Cheng, after experiencing the basic attractions once, was full of praise and lamented that he had wasted the first half of his life.
Lu Yu used to think that Pleasure Street was the pinnacle, but after visiting the Thorn Church, he discovered...
The world of sex should be diverse and vibrant!
There can be no only first place, but there can also be ties!
For example, this time, in order to prepare for the grand competition for the title of Holy Maiden, many nuns changed into new clothes and wore crowns woven from thorn flowers, thus practicing the doctrines of the Mother of Thorns.
Procreation, wildness, unrestrainedness, freedom!
As someone who loves art, Lu Yu appreciates many art forms without reservation, constantly marveling at how the Thorn Church truly deserves to be the birthplace of top-tier doujinshi masters.
The designs of these clothes are all... well, they're artistic, and the figures of these women are all incredibly curvy.
Moreover, the Church of Thorns reveres the original self and can bear the suffering of all beings, but forbids self-harm without reason. Therefore, they are extremely opposed to plastic surgery. However, because the Ring of Thorns removes impurities from the body, most nuns can achieve a general appearance of 6 or 7 out of 10, and many even reach 8 out of 10.
There were even a few nuns who were close to nine out of ten, with the thorn rings on their thighs exposed, running and chasing each other in the Thorn Church.
Their figures were all healthy and plump, the kind of slightly chubby goddesses that were popular in the previous life, with fair skin, making it a complete visual feast.
"These clothes are so smooth" and "This brain is so sharp" are just minor comments.
A butt bigger than his shoulders, looking as happy as... cough cough cough!
"But she has such a great sense of style! Some QQ uniforms aren't even this cool."
"Damn, these nuns seem to prefer wearing the Confessional set with white attack speed stockings. There are relatively few with black critical strike stockings. Hmm, the material of some of the stockings looks familiar, like... it's made by Little Spider. The Dark Moon Merchant Guild's batch of goods has actually been sold all the way to the capital. No wonder they made so much money."
"The Thorn Church truly lives up to its name as the Church of Desire. If a normal person went in, wouldn't they come out as sugarcane pulp?"
"Even the beast tamers from the Douwang Domain, who are known for dismantling Gundams with their bare hands, dare not come to the Thorn Church. This shows how terrifying these women are. Could they really wipe out the goblins?"
"..."
There's even a saying in the league.
A man who doesn't go to the Thorn Church will regret it for ten years.
If you go to the Church of Thorns... you can start your next life early!
That being said, not everyone is qualified to join the Church of Thorns; after all, it's not a dumping ground for trash.
At the very least, one must meet certain criteria in terms of background, character, and talent, and also endure the pain of the Ring of Thorns. This whole process...
He was practically half-dead.
If it's an outsider, the requirements will be even higher.
It's a case of those who can go but don't want to, and those who want to get in but don't meet the requirements.
"That person looks so familiar!"
"Sisters, look! It's Lu Yu alive!"
"Wow, he's so handsome! I heard he's also a very kind person!"
"Are you being serious about what you're saying?"
"Those who know, know. This involves too many complexities; we can't just say anything."
"..."
Many of the nuns were excited when they saw Jiang Ji and Lu Yu arrive.
Because of Jiang Ji's fainting incident and the subsequent cream puff gift, Lu Yu had become the target of all the Thorn Sisters' suspicions...
A very capable and excellent man!
When he single-handedly swept through the Secret Martial World, the physical abilities he displayed were even more like those of the blond-haired character in the doujinshi.
Oh, right... Lu Yu's nickname is "Little World Yellow Hair"!
That's actually a perfect match for the Thorn Saint's major!
Before this, most of the nuns were just curious, but after Lu Yu challenged the Star Clan in the Dark Star Domain and spoke out for countless civilians, he, who came from an ordinary background, gave money that was intended to corrupt the will of the wounded veterans, which directly touched the soft spot in the hearts of many nuns who were orphans, and their favorability towards him soared.
They conquered most of the church!
In addition, the Thorn Church has always relied on raising orphans to recruit new members, so the internal atmosphere is good. They have even discussed in private that if Jiang Ji is not good at it, they can take her place and help maintain family harmony.
Some bold and unrestrained young nuns even took the initiative to surround him and invite him to help them.
It's not just men who like beautiful women; women like handsome men too!
This made Lu Yu feel the attack from multiple sides.
"These young people nowadays are really shameless!" As for the slightly older, more mature nuns who were preaching, they were more reserved and couldn't help but spit out a curse.
However, their gazes toward Jiang Ji were filled with envy.
This girl is so lucky!
You're going to be blessed for the rest of your life!
Ideally, she would lose the battle for the Holy Maiden and settle down with Lu Yu.
After all, that position wasn't a matter of luck.
It's about responsibility!
"Cough cough, I almost suffocated."
With Jiang Ji's help, Lu Yu managed to escape from the entanglement of the beautiful women. He smelled the milk mixed with the fragrance of flowers and herbs on his body, which was elegant but not strong, like a rose blooming in a thicket of thorns, beautiful and unrestrained, yet dangerous.
It really hurts!
Jiang Ji swept her hair back and pursed her lips: "You seem to be enjoying this quite a bit."
Because she couldn't pull it up the first few times.
This man looks respectable, but he's actually quite wicked.
"You must be mistaken. I'm naturally socially awkward and not good at saying no, so I tend to be shy," Lu Yu said righteously.
Jiang Ji was both annoyed and amused, but she didn't take it to heart. After all, she wasn't anyone to Lu Yu and had no right to say anything. Thinking of this, she said somewhat dejectedly:
"You can also take a look at the information I just gave you. The reinforcements that the other Saintess candidates have brought this time are not simple either; they are all top-tier members of the Radiant Moon Rank. Are you sure everything is alright?"
Although she knew that Lu Yu was very strong, this time, the other candidates for Holy Maiden also mobilized all their connections and invited veteran geniuses who were at the peak of the first stage of the Bright Moon Realm and had accumulated a wealth of experience.
This is far superior to any ordinary Moonlit Rank!
Jiang Ji even knew that one of them was already capable of advancing to the mid-stage of the Radiant Moon realm, but had deliberately suppressed his strength for the sake of this battle for the Holy Maiden.
Their overall strength has exceeded her expectations!
After all, she was the youngest candidate for the Holy Maiden, lacking sufficient experience. Without Lu Yu's help, she wouldn't even have the right to slack off, let alone win.
She had figured out why this competition was so intense: it was because the other Saintess candidates all wanted her to bear the Eye of the Evil King.
Once a new saintess is appointed, the remaining candidates will become priests, even if they die prematurely. However, as a sacred relic, the Eye of the Evil King cannot be frequently changed in its user, otherwise it will cause an anomaly. At least ten years must pass before the battle for it can be started again.
That was the care from my older sisters!
But that's precisely why Jiang Ji is even more determined to win.
She was just a loser. The plan went smoothly, and she could not only relieve Lu Yu's pain, but also leave behind enough blessings to make the other sisters safer, while also repaying the Thorn Church for its nurturing grace!
"Leave it to me." Lu Yu smiled and nodded, then said earnestly, "I guarantee you will be the final victor."
He's determined to have those 81 million!
Looking at the confident Lu Yu, Jiang Ji's previously agitated emotions were suddenly calmed down.
I don't know why, but I feel a strange sense of security whenever I'm with this guy.
But soon, she thought of something and spoke up to remind her:
"The candidates for Saintess all possess a portion of the Eye of the Evil King's authority. If anything happens to them, the eternal giants of the Thorn Church will notice and swiftly descend!"
Jiang Ji would never have said that to anyone else, but he wouldn't have said it to Lu Yu, the "conservative" and the most ruthless person.
They might do something amazing!
"I'm not that kind of person," Lu Yu said calmly, looking down at the intelligence report, seemingly disappointed by Jiang Ji's suspicions.
"That's not what I meant, I was just pointing it out."
Jiang Ji felt somewhat ashamed, realizing that he had been judging others by his own petty standards.
That's right. As the new king, Lu Yu is fully capable of defeating his opponents on the battlefield.
We would never resort to despicable means!
"He must be very disappointed in me. I really can't do anything right..." Jiang Ji felt a pang of self-reproach.
However, she was unaware that Lu Yu was at that moment using a contract to notify several pet beasts that had been placed in advance at several key entrances to the capital.
Reply immediately, this is a tricky situation!
Because the capital city has the Nine Heavenly Imperial Ritual, even if an ancient giant takes action without prior notice, he will be instantly reduced to ashes.
Therefore, his idea was to use physical means to dissuade their external supporters before the four candidates for sainthood entered the capital.
Without external interference, several Saintesses at the peak of the Morning Star realm could be easily crushed. At that time, wouldn't Jiang Ji be able to secure the position of Saintesse?
But now Jiang Ji is telling him that there is a chance of attracting an ancient giant, so it's better to be on the safe side.
It is a pity……
It was still too late!
*

*
Ten minutes earlier, on a remote, desolate mountain outside the capital, Yan Yu, one of the candidates for sainthood of the Thorn Church, and Jiang Dian, the outside helper she had invited, were on their way.
Not only is she just as beautiful as Jiang Ji, but she also has her own strengths, such as being very popular and even more so than E Mingren.
Every day is a struggle against a heavy burden!
Jiang Dian fell in love with her at first sight because of this, and even thought about the food for their future children, launching a fervent pursuit.
Although Yan Yu had explicitly refused, stating that she only wanted to serve the Lord of Thorns for the rest of her life, she couldn't resist the other party's enthusiasm and even volunteered to become an outside helper.
Yan Yu couldn't refuse, so she went along and they began to discuss how to deal with this dark horse—Lu Yu.
Yan Yu was quite worried because Lu Yu's record since his debut was too brilliant, with almost no defeats.
An opponent with a perfect win rate, are you scared yet!
Jiang Dian waved his hand dismissively and said calmly, "Lu Yu's talent is indeed quite good. If he were at the same level as me, the outcome would be unpredictable. However, his age is ultimately a major disadvantage, and he still needs time to accumulate experience."
Actually, I still have some doubts about his success in defeating the corrupt high priest. After all, no matter how talented someone is, they still need to follow some logic. He may not be afraid of losing control, but pets also need time to develop.
I suspect that Lu Yu likely relied on the power of the Abundant Divine Grace Barrier, or perhaps had the help of others, to defeat Radiant Moon. Even if that's true, the mutated followers of the evil god are inherently limited in their methods, and under equal tactical conditions, they are inferior to equal Beastmasters.
This wasn't Jiang Dian trying to show off in front of the goddess; he genuinely had the right to be proud.
With his peak Radiant Moon stage strength, he was more than capable of crushing ordinary Radiant Moon mutants.
I'm confident I can defeat Lu Yu in an instant!
Just as the two were talking, Jiang Dian sensed something, suddenly stopped and looked at the mysterious yellow-robed figure that had appeared not far away.
His tall figure stood silently on the sandy beach, like a mountain blocking the way.
Yan Yu frowned and asked, "Who are you?"
This uninhabited area is rarely visited due to its scarcity of resources, which means that the other party is very likely coming for them.
Is it some kind of evil god cult?
Or perhaps it was the alien race opposite the Great Abyss that didn't want to see the Thorn Church give birth to a saintess again, disrupting the battlefield situation, so they sent out assassins?
In response to Yan Yu's question, the man in the yellow robe began to writhe irregularly beneath his robes, revealing an unimaginable twisted form. A chilling voice rang out:
"Dead men, no questions asked."
"Arrogant!" Jiang Dian made his move, and the beast-taming formation behind him instantly condensed, causing a vast torrent of water to surge and wash over the earth, like a wave sweeping across the land.
A giant tortoise emerged from the water, its head ferocious, with a pair of dragon horns on its forehead. On its back, a huge moss-covered stone tablet was carried, exuding a desolate and lifeless aura. The mantra "Overturning the River" swirled around it, creating an oppressive atmosphere.
Monarch-level – Overturning Dragon!
Born from the most turbulent rivers, a special creature from the Dragon Blood Yangtze River ecological secret realm. The water in this ecological secret realm is blood-red, constantly surging with raging waves, and the bottom is filled with terrifying undercurrents that can crush ordinary creatures into dust.
Such a harsh environment naturally gave rise to a large number of ferocious aquatic pets.
The Flipping Dragon Turtle is one of the dominant creatures among them. Its original form is the Green Moss Turtle, a special type of turtle that feeds on green moss.
Although it appears to be herbivorous, it is not gentle in nature, because it eats moss at the bottom of countless dangerous undercurrents, and each meal is a test of its physique.
Therefore, it has an extremely high affinity with water!
For the Green Moss Turtle to evolve, it needs to prey on another creature in the secret realm: the Yangtze River Dragonfish. Individually, they are not powerful, but when they appear in groups, they can create huge waves with their fins.
Even powerful creatures dare not confront it head-on.
It devours all living things!
Also known as the tyrannical race in the Dragon Blood Yangtze River!
However, the moss turtle needs to eat them to accumulate dragon blood in its body. It takes at least tens of thousands of dragon fish to accumulate enough energy for evolution, and finally it will transform into the River-Turning Dragon Turtle.
A top-tier pet that combines the attributes of dragon and water!
Furthermore, they will master the power to overturn rivers and seas, evolve into dragon might, and become a regional overlord.
Jiang Dian, born into the Jiang family, had the advantage of being close to the source and contracted with the Green Moss Turtle. He spent decades cultivating it into a monarch-level River-Turning Dragon Turtle, and even had the ambition to go further and become a Sea-Overturning Turtle comparable to his ancestor's secret realm-opening turtle.
In a fit of rage, it can unleash a raging tsunami that can instantly destroy a large, modern city, or it can easily quell a storm!
In ancient times, it was even worshipped as a totem!
"River-Turning Dragon, unleash the Destructive Wave!"
Jiang Dian decisively issued the order, but the Flipping Dragon Ao behind him did not respond directly. He subconsciously turned his head and saw fear filling the dragon's eyes.
It was as if I had seen something unbelievable!
"What's going on!?"
Before Jiang Dian could react, a voice rang out:
"I am the natural enemy of dragons!"
The figure in the yellow robe sneered; beneath that robe of twilight was none other than the rat, clad in egg-shaped armor.
No one knows better than the mouse how powerful the dragon's might is against dragon-type pets.
It started with 3-4% suppression, and also had a fear effect, which directly rendered its Alatreon Ant incarnation helpless. Only recently, after obtaining the Peacock incarnation of the Three Calamities, has the situation improved slightly.
But for some reason, Egg's strength also increased by leaps and bounds, easily suppressing it.
If the hamster didn't know that Egg only knew how to eat and drink and was a silly dragon, it would have almost thought that Egg was secretly working hard behind its back.
It can only be attributed to the legendary dragon bloodline being too strong!
At this moment, the mouse felt the powerful strength bestowed upon it by the dragon armor and finally experienced the joy of cultivating. It was its turn to make others feel depressed.
So he made a decisive move, starting with his ultimate attack!
Ultimate Technique - Twilight Hundred-Touched Dragon King Sword!
Beneath the robe of twilight, countless tree roots, like deep red tentacles, sprouted and instantly intertwined to form a giant sword, carrying a vast dragon's might, sweeping towards the churning dragon.
Although the latter quickly overcame its fear of the high-ranking dragon and condensed a giant wave, it was still instantly pierced through, and its huge body was directly blown away.
However, that was not all. This attack contained a large number of seeds of salvation that the rats had prepared in advance, which suddenly exploded.
boom!
With a roar that shook the very soul, the Turtle Dragon was momentarily stunned, but for a turtle-type pet known for its defensive capabilities, it was only a minor injury.
The Dragon-Turning Turtle quickly regained its senses and tried to unleash its power of incantation to counterattack, but it witnessed a scene that enraged it, and roared:
"roar!"
The roar echoed through these desolate mountains, the rivers and seas surged, and the land was submerged.
At this moment, Xiao Jiangdian and Yan Yu were bound by tentacles and suspended in mid-air.
"If he dares to take another step closer, I'll kill him!"
A chilling voice emanated from beneath the yellow robe, deterring the raging dragon from advancing. Though frustrated, it had no choice but to suppress its violent surge for the sake of its beast tamer.
Stay put!
"So what if he's a monarch? He's still someone I can threaten!"
Seeing this, the mouse felt smug.
Its goal was never to defeat the Overturning Dragon, because without the cooperation of Spider Sister and Paper Knight, it could at most catch the enemy off guard, but in the long run it would definitely be worn down by a tough monarch.
However, as the culmination of the strong-bullying tactic of cultivators, it directly started with the might of the dragon, briefly intimidating the turbulent dragon, and then took the opportunity to target the opponent's weak point.
Beastmaster!
Once the beast tamer dies, the pet will also be severely injured!
It's despicable, but it works!
At this moment, the outcome is already decided!
Yan Yu also recognized this signature ability and exclaimed in surprise:
"Archbishop Higurashi!"
Why would a notorious madman on the Blacklist, who wreaked havoc in the Dark Starfield and slaughtered the Lin family of Star Bay, appear here?
However, before she could even think, she felt the restraints tighten, and her expression changed:
"This is……"
Susu!
Numerous tentacles and multifaceted roots rapidly climbed and wrapped around Yan Yu, binding her tightly and rendering her powerless to resist.
The way it's tied up is a bit strange; the mouse learned it while surfing the internet.
Yan Yu's limbs were bound, and red marks appeared on her plump thighs, making them look particularly slutty.
"Damn it!"
This scene made Jiang Dian's eyes widen in fury, filled with the anger of a victim. Images of numerous tentacle monster doujinshi flashed through his mind, and he roared:
"Let her go!"
Why are you yelling so loudly!
The mouse was speechless. Who isn't a girl? It wasn't interested in big, brainless girls like the bear. The Hundred-Armed Elf Princess and the Storm Nine-Headed Dragon Mermaid were far more attractive to it.
What's more, it can change into whatever shape it wants!
However, he couldn't say any of this, since the mouse was playing the villain right now. So he looked at Yan Yu and smiled sinisterly:
"What a beautiful body, enough to make any man infatuated..."
"Don't even think about it!"
A single compliment filled Yan Yu with shame and indignation, prompting her to unleash endless torment and perish together with him.
Even death is preferable to being humiliated!
However, the next moment, the other party changed the subject!
"but……"
The man in the yellow robe turned to look at Jiang Dian, who was glaring angrily to the side, and said in a sinister tone:
"I'm still more interested in you!"
Xiu Ren said that he didn't really intend to kill them; just scaring away this outside helper would be enough.
"!!!"
But these words sounded like demonic whispers to Jiang Dian; his face turned deathly pale, and he cried out in panic, "What do you want to do?! Ugh..."
The tentacles that were wrapped around Jiang Dian lifted up and directly blocked his mouth, so he could only make "woo woo woo" sounds, like a frightened little wife.
This is also the first time Jiangdian has experienced this...
Boys also need to protect themselves when they're out!
Amidst their horrified gazes, the mouse intended to leave after suffering only minor trauma to its soul, but suddenly received a message from the cultivator.
The idea proved difficult to implement, and the plan was cancelled.
The rat clones and the disguised paper knights that had originally been targeting the other candidates for saintess also all withdrew.
But on their side... they've already finished fighting!
What should we do?
The mouse scratched its head in distress, and finally, to avoid arousing suspicion towards Lu Yu, it feigned anger and said:
"This smell? What are you two doing on this path? You made me look for the wrong target and wasted my time. Get lost!"
After saying that, the mouse threw the two of them out, making them roll several times on the ground. Yan Yu was not seriously injured because of the shock absorber, but she looked a bit disheveled. When she looked up, she found...
Archbishop Twilight has disappeared!
On the other side, Jiang Dian was thrown to the ground, suffering only minor injuries, but the humiliation in his heart was like a surging river, endless and unending.
He was just a hair's breadth away from being killed. Thinking of this, he roared in grief and rage:
"The Cult of the Setting Sun, I will fight you to the death!"
Yan Yu slowly stood up, patted the dust off her body, and when she realized that the other party was not playing a trick on them, but had really left, a look of doubt appeared in her beautiful eyes.
She couldn't understand... what Archbishop Higurashi meant.
However, from his words, it is clear that he was hunting other targets, but the two of them just happened to run into the line of fire and were taken down together.
But the other side had already defeated them and could have enjoyed the spoils, yet they just let them go so easily. It's really...
madman!
Yan Yu thought to herself, without doubting the other party's identity at all. Apart from a deeply distorted, mentally unstable madman, who else could do such a thing that harms others and does nothing to benefit themselves?
However, remembering the feeling of almost suffocating from being strangled, she subconsciously reached out and touched the marks. A sharp pain shot through her, but it also stirred a strange feeling within her…
A strange feeling!
Suddenly I became curious about what lay beneath Archbishop Higurashi's robes.
Next, the two traveled cautiously, and when they arrived, all the candidates for sainthood had already gathered.
Seeing how travel-worn they were, Jiang Ji asked with concern:
"What happened?"
The other candidates for sainthood who had not been attacked also cast concerned glances at them.
Jiang Dian remained silent.
He simply couldn't bring himself to say that he had been brutally beaten by Archbishop Higurashi and almost "lost his virginity," a truly humiliating experience.
In the end, he could only grit his teeth and swallow it down, muttering:
I tripped and fell on the road!
What kind of Moonlit Beastmaster could fall like that?
It would be a miracle if they didn't knock down a mountain!
The reason was too flimsy, so naturally no one believed it and they turned their attention to Yan Yu.
Yan Yu smiled wryly, not wanting to expose the humiliation of her foreign aid work, which was indeed very embarrassing, so she changed the subject:
"Is everything really alright? But where is the Thorn Arena? Could it be that this year's Saintess Battle isn't being held under the watchful eye of the Evil King, like before?"
"Because the rules are a little different this time!"
A soft, alluring voice drifted down, and from the thorny path emerged a mature and beautiful woman with long, dark green hair, dressed in the robes of the Church of Thorns. She walked calmly across the countless thorns, and it was clear that her delicate feet had been pierced and repaired.
She is Zheng Yi, the high priestess of the Thorn Church who presided over the competition for the title of saintess.
"High Priest!"
Everyone lowered their heads slightly to show respect for an ancient giant.
Zheng Yi nodded slightly, glanced around, paused briefly on Lu Yu, and then addressed everyone:
"This battle will no longer follow the rules of a ring tournament, and it won't even take place in the capital. To sum it up in two words..."
"Crackdown on prostitution!"
"???"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Yu was shocked.
Scan me?
