I have a city in another world

Chapter 6947 Tang Zhen Makes His Move Again
As the spokesperson for the gods, Ashe issued orders to the temple members and bird-man servants to keep a close watch on any news related to the Descendants.

At the same time, they tried every means to obtain intelligence from the survivor group, and even sent secret spies.

The temple has chosen to abandon the survivors in the city, but it cannot truly leave them to fend for themselves.

Sending secret spies to monitor the survivors is a necessary task.

If necessary, they might even assassinate important targets to avoid affecting the temple's plans.

Most of the dirty work like this was arranged and assigned by Yves. He had a wealth of experience and was also good at taking the blame. He was the kind of person who was truly fearless.

Anything can be done as long as there are benefits involved.

Ashe definitely cannot get involved in this matter. As the representative of the Star Goddess, she must maintain a bright and positive image and absolutely cannot have any blemishes.

Through continuous recruitment and expansion, the temple's power increased rapidly, and no organization in the city could rival it.

If a large number of people are found to be missing within a city, it is imperative to report it immediately.

The temple did not say that they were invaders, but only that the chaotic environment bred demons that devoured human blood as food, and that everyone should kill them.

Once the temple discovers any trace of it, it will immediately take action to eliminate it, so as not to threaten the lives of the people.

The area within the temple's safe zone remains under control, so there's no need to worry about the invaders causing harm.

In other parts of the city, there are still many survivors, who are the best hunting targets.

In today's chaotic environment, even if a large number of survivors go missing, it is unlikely that many people will pay attention.

Everyone is too busy taking care of themselves to have time to pay attention to others.

Sometimes, even when you know something is wrong, you might pretend not to know to avoid getting into trouble.

Although the order has been issued, finding all the arrivals is by no means something that can be done in a short time.

For now, we can only rely on the bird-man servants to increase patrols in the city and see if we can find any clues.

As servants of the Star Goddess, the bird-men servants possess the ability to see the aura of death.

This capability will play a significant role in carrying out this mission, allowing for immediate reporting and investigation should any unusual deaths be discovered.

Natural death and having one's semen extracted are two completely different states, and anyone with a little experience can spot the abnormality.

By maintaining close surveillance, the enemy will eventually reveal clues, and then it will be Tang Zhen's turn to make a move.

If this group of demigod cultivators wants to hunt down Tang Zhen for their own gain, then they should be prepared to be killed instead.

Tang Zhen left the temple's safe zone and walked through the city, searching for traces of the descending cultivators.

This group of demigod cultivators are all former foxes; they cannot be easily captured.

They were also well aware that their situation was extremely dangerous, so they were very careful in their actions.

The chances of successfully wiping out these demigod cultivators in the early stages of their arrival are extremely slim.

Even so, the net must still be cast wide in order to have a chance to catch a big fish.

According to intelligence information, there are currently hundreds of survivor settlements within the city.

The survivors have now gathered together to fight against attacks from mutated monsters, trying to struggle for survival in their desperate situation.

Those survivors who choose to live alone and are unwilling to join a group are finding it increasingly difficult to survive attacks by mutated monsters.

However, once you join a group, you will face many rules and have to grit your teeth and endure the oppression.

The city's order collapsed, the law of the jungle automatically kicked in, and everything revolved around the principle of the strong being respected, with the weak having no choice but to obey.

Many survivors now regret not joining the temple, and are now reaping the consequences. Some say the temple is hypocritical, but at least it puts on a show and isn't particularly harsh on its followers.

The survivor organizations in the city, however, don't even bother to pretend; they don't treat ordinary citizens like human beings at all.

Survivors need to go out to collect supplies, and can only be allocated a small amount of food. They also have to fight desperately against monsters during battles.

Anyone who resists or refuses to carry out orders will be severely beaten, and may even be killed on the spot.

The rulers used cruel methods to control the survivors, making them obedient and afraid to resist.

They also assigned people to keep a close watch on the survivors to prevent them from escaping and joining the temple or other organizations.

Survivor groups demarcated territories and agreed not to invade each other's territory; however, this agreement was not very effective, and intrusions and encroachments occurred frequently.

The various organizations are fighting each other, and there are casualties from time to time, but hardly anyone cares.

The hidden demigods are likely hiding within these survivor organizations, colluding with those in power.

Those who can become leaders of a settlement are definitely not ordinary people; they are all cultivators.

By cooperating with demigods and gaining the support of the settlement's leader, they can obtain the necessary essence blood without being detected.

However, the cooperation between the two parties may not be open and blatant, as that could very likely expose their identities.

Once you attract the attention of the temple, it means your death is imminent. No matter your status or how many men you command, you are nothing but a chicken or a dog in front of the temple.

This confirms that even if the survivor organization colluded with demigod cultivators, it would do so secretly.

No fool would dare to openly provoke the temple; doing so would be tantamount to courting death.

To find the answer, you have to investigate it yourself; that will actually be faster.

Although those old foxes are cunning, Tang Zhen can always smell their slyness whenever he encounters them.

Once Tang Zhen locks them down, these old foxes will have nowhere to escape.

Knowing their background, Tang Zhen had no intention of showing mercy. These greedy guys would definitely try to scheme against Tang Zhen without hesitation if given the slightest chance.

For demigod cultivators, Tang Zhen was their chance to survive and become gods. They didn't know each other, so how could they possibly sacrifice themselves to help others?

The relationship between the two sides is quite pure; once they harbor thoughts of taking advantage of each other, they are destined to never get along peacefully.

According to intelligence, Tang Zhen arrived at the nearest settlement and saw a group of survivors defending themselves on high ground.

This city is not lacking in weapons and equipment; it's just that most ordinary people don't know where to get them.

However, those official cultivators and powerful noble families were able to gain control with ease.

They possess resources far beyond what ordinary people can imagine. They can amass great wealth in peacetime and wield formidable military power in times of chaos, making it difficult for ordinary people to compete with them.

The survivor organizations in the city are all established and controlled by this type of people; none of their leaders are ordinary citizens.

Neither the sentries standing on the high ground nor the guards at the gate could see Tang Zhen.

Upon entering the gate, a horrific scene unfolded before my eyes: a row of corpses, both men and women, hung from the wall covered in vines, each with a wooden plaque hanging from their feet, inscribed with the crimes they had committed in painted lettering.

Because they violated the rules of the gathering place, this group of survivors were sentenced to be hanged, and their bodies were placed at the entrance as a warning to others.

Anyone who breaks the rules will suffer the same fate.

The administrators who issued the order would never have dared to be so brazen in the past, daring to hang a citizen in public.

Now, nobody cares. People with power can do whatever they want, and no one will hold them accountable for murder.

No one can say for sure what the future holds, but at least we can do whatever we want.
