Xu Ying frowned and said, "Is that so? This really has nothing to do with us. You should know that although our conflict with you got a little out of control before, we haven't fought in the city since His Majesty ordered us not to fight in the city. And if we really did fight, we wouldn't deny it. We've acknowledged our previous conflict with you, so we have even less reason to deny it now."

Upon hearing Xu Ying's words, the man frowned and asked, "It really isn't you? If it really isn't you, then who could it be?"

Xu Ying said with a serious expression, "They chose this time and this location to make their move. It's obvious they want to frame us. They seem to be very insidious. This isn't just aimed at you, it's aimed at us too. Do you have any clues?"

The man shook his head and said, "No, if I had any clues, I wouldn't have come looking for you. After all, recently, you've been the only ones fighting against us."

Xu Ying looked at him seriously after hearing his words and said, "We are enemies. If we really did it, we will not deny it. Although we are enemies, we will not take the blame for others. Moreover, this time they have even schemed against us, which is intolerable. We will investigate this matter. If they really want to sow discord between us, then their next step may be to attack us. If they do attack us, we will investigate to the end. As for whether you believe that this matter has nothing to do with us, it doesn't matter. This matter really has nothing to do with us."

The man looked at Xu Ying, then said in a deep voice, "I believe you, and I will report your words truthfully. As for whether the higher-ups believe you or not, I don't know. Farewell." After saying that, the man clasped his hands in a fist salute to Xu Ying, then turned and left.

Xu Ying frowned as he watched the man's retreating figure, then said in a deep voice, "Someone come here."

A disciple immediately entered, and Xu Ying then said, "Pass down the word that all the defensive arrays of the temples must be activated, especially at night."

The disciple responded and turned to leave. Xu Ying then wanted to call Chang Jun, but remembering that Chang Jun had said he would no longer concern himself with the affairs of the Myriad Laws Sect, Xu Ying decided not to make the call and instead resolved to handle the matter himself.

Meanwhile, Bishop Wu had arrived at the location of the leader of the Creation God Cult. The leader of the Creation God Cult was not currently at the main hall of the Creation God Cult. No one knew where he was. The only way to see him was through a teleportation array, but the coordinates of this teleportation array were not known to ordinary people. Anyone who wanted to see the leader had to first write to him, and only then would the leader tell you the coordinates before you could go to see him.

That's how Bishop Wu met the Pope. As soon as the Pope saw Bishop Wu, he immediately asked, "How is it?"

Bishop Wu immediately repeated Xu Ying's words. After listening to him, the bishop frowned and asked, "He said they didn't do it? Do you think what he said is true?"

Bishop Wu said, "I think Xu Ying has some merit. This matter may not really be their doing. Just as Xu Ying said, we are enemies now. If it really was them, they would have no reason to hide it. Moreover, there is something strange about this matter. We just reached an agreement with them, and suddenly our temple was attacked, and it was so close to them. It really seems like someone is trying to sow discord."

The cult leader nodded and then said, "Pass down the order to all the people in the temples to strengthen their defenses. There should be people on night duty every day. Also, send more ordinary believers to the temples."

Bishop Wu was taken aback, but then immediately understood the leader's meaning. When formal believers were killed, they would turn into black smoke and leave no clues. However, when ordinary believers were killed, they would leave behind corpses, which would leave some clues. Sometimes, these clues could help them find the enemy.

Bishop Wu responded, and the leader nodded, then waved his hand and said, "Go." Bishop Wu acknowledged, bowed to the leader, and then left the leader's room. After he left, the leader's expression became even more unpleasant. He really hoped that this was done by the Myriad Laws Cult. If it was done by someone else, it meant that someone else had intervened, which was not a good thing for them.

Dealing with the Myriad Laws Cult is already giving them a headache. They have no idea how powerful the Myriad Laws Cult truly is. They've suffered losses in several encounters with them. They finally managed to reach an agreement with the Myriad Laws Cult, and the cult members agreed to a wager, but now this has happened. If this wasn't the Myriad Laws Cult's doing, it means other forces are involved. And if other forces are involved, the situation will only become more complicated. The cult leader is well aware that their Creation Cult's rapid rise in recent years has been due to threatening the interests of many. Previously, with Gongliang Juewen's support, those people dared not easily touch them, allowing them to coexist peacefully for years. Now, the appearance of the Myriad Laws Cult sends a signal to others: Gongliang Juewen will no longer support them; on the contrary, he will suppress them. Under these circumstances, will those forces they offended in the past continue to stand by? They might just come up and kick me when I'm down, right?

The cult leader had long been mentally prepared for this, but he did not expect this day to come so soon. However, he believed that Gongliang Juewen would not give up on them easily. Suppressing them was one thing, but completely abandoning them was unlikely. After all, the Myriad Laws Cult could not replace them yet, which meant that they actually had time to make arrangements and at least be able to protect themselves.

However, all of this must wait until they figure out who is targeting them. They cannot act without knowing who the enemy is; otherwise, they will only offend more people. Therefore, they cannot rush and must first find out who is targeting them this time.

Three days after the destruction of that Temple of Creation, another Temple of Creation was destroyed. This time, a total of twenty-four corpses were left in that temple. These were all, of course, the corpses of ordinary believers.

The members of the Creation God Cult investigated the situation and found that there were still no clues. The victim's throat had been slit, and no clues were left behind.

The members of the Creation God Cult are also very troubled. They still don't know who is targeting them or what methods they are using, which is why they are so troubled.

However, this happened again. Just three days after the second Temple of Creation was destroyed, another Temple of Creation was destroyed. This time, a total of thirty-six corpses were left behind. Most importantly, a Kingdom-level expert died. This was because the Creation Cult had placed Kingdom-level experts in some Temples of Creation to strengthen their defenses. However, they did not expect that even a Kingdom-level expert would die.

This also made the people of the Creation God Sect nervous. They knew that the death of some ordinary disciples and the death of a kingdom-level expert were two completely different concepts. This time they investigated even more carefully. Fortunately, there were enough corpses left this time. They carefully examined the corpses and finally made a discovery. They found that the corpses seemed to have been poisoned before they died.

This discovery shocked them. They immediately examined the bodies closely and found that the corpses had indeed been poisoned before they died. However, it couldn't be called poisoning; they had been drugged with a potent drug that could even affect a kingdom-level being for a short period of time.

After confirming it was a sleeping potion, the members of the Creation God Cult began to have doubts, because not everyone has a sleeping potion that can knock out a kingdom-level expert. Ordinary people simply cannot make such a sleeping potion. In the entire God Kingdom, there are only a handful of forces that can make such a sleeping potion.

The cult leader sat in his room, with several bishops of the Creation God Cult also present. He glanced at them and then spoke: "You've probably heard about it, haven't you? It was a sleeping potion. Those people were drugged before they died and then killed. In the entire Divine Kingdom, there are no more than five forces capable of producing such a potion: Medicine King Valley, Divine Physician Sect, the Sun family, the Hua family, and the Zhang family. Only these few can produce it. Even the royal family can't create such a potent potion because the formula is a secret, and the royal family doesn't have it. That means the one attacking us can only be one of these five families. Which one do you think is most likely?"

Upon hearing their leader's words, the bishops fell silent for a moment. Then, one of the bishops spoke up, "Leader, I think it's unlikely that Medicine King Valley and Divine Physician Sect would attack us. They are both sects, and in recent years, they have been suppressed even more severely. We haven't actually gained much benefit from them. In other words, we don't have much enmity with them. Moreover, the royal family is very wary of sects interfering in the affairs of the Divine Kingdom. If they really dare to attack us, and the royal family finds out, they will suppress them without us even having to lift a finger. So I think the possibility of these two sects jumping out to attack us at this time is the lowest."

The group all nodded in agreement with his statement. In recent years, who has been suppressed the most by the royal family? It must be those sects. Those sects would never be the first to stick their necks out at this time.

Seeing everyone nod, the bishop continued, "The Sun family is somewhat special. Although they are famous for medicine and also possess this kind of drug, they generally don't harm people and are kind to others. It's very unlikely that it's from their family." (End of Chapter)
