I have a city in another world

At the second survivor settlement, Tang Zhen obtained some clues, but they were not of much value.

The target was a cunning and shrewd old fox who was well aware of his situation and therefore did not reveal his identity.

Even if some clues are discovered and actions are taken, it is still impossible to do anything to the other party.

By changing locations and partners, one can start afresh.

When soldiers are catching thieves, it's impossible to catch them all; it requires evidence, clues, and luck.

Crime persists despite repeated crackdowns because it is impossible to prevent.

If a demigod cultivator hiding in the city wants to do something, he will inevitably resort to all sorts of scheming methods.

Finding and locating the other party's trail is a rather difficult task.

It is no exaggeration to say that, in the eyes of the enemy, all the cultivators in the city were nothing more than ants.

Their eyes were filled with mockery, and their hearts with disdain; they did not consider the temple members as opponents at all.

The only entity they fear is perhaps the lofty Star Goddess, the group they dream of joining.

The term "demigod" is merely a flattering title, implying that they are only one step away from becoming gods.

The reality is cruel: even a difference of just one percent disqualifies one from becoming a god.

However, those demigod cultivators advocated this view and truly regarded themselves as half-step gods.

The gods have no real power, yet they always like to put on an attitude of indifference towards everything. They act recklessly and do not care about the rules and order of the world at all.

They always believed that the rules of the world could not restrain such extraordinary beings as themselves, and that the only beings they cared about were the gods.

Tang Zhen, along with others, was also prey in their eyes, at most a little different from the other ants, a lucky one who had received divine favor and had his path paved in advance.

This made the demigods jealous, and even harbored a hint of hatred, believing that the matter was extremely unfair.

Why can't I have this kind of opportunity?

Tang Zhen already knew the nature of demigod cultivators; they were all extremely selfish and self-serving individuals.

Not all demigod cultivators are so despicable, but on the path to godhood, most demigod cultivators are without principles.

Tang Zhen never imagined that he could catch his prey so easily; he knew that he needed to have enough patience.

Perhaps at this moment, those demigods were also hiding in the shadows, silently watching the temple's actions.

After wreaking havoc in two gathering places and killing the supreme leader using the same methods, news of it will spread rapidly in no time.

The leaders of other settlements will inevitably become nervous and try every means to escape or defend themselves.

Although Tang Zhen's identity has not been exposed so far, this is not the first time his burning flame attack has appeared. It has appeared many times in battles with enemies, which indicates that he is related to the temple.

The leaders of those settlements could thus conclude that this matter was related to the temple.

It was clearly the temple that took action, clearing out the settlement and specifically targeting the leader.

The leaders of the settlements, both large and small, would surely be deeply angered by this, and might even unite to fight against the temple.

If that's the case, they will only pay a heavy price. The temple's strength will increase rapidly, enough to crush all the major organizations in the city.

The leaders of the settlement were well aware of the disparity in strength between the two sides, and they would certainly not provoke the temple unless absolutely necessary.

Not wanting to be killed, yet unwilling to fight the temple to the death, they had no choice but to think of other methods.

The leaders of the settlements who received the news are probably already in a state of panic, trying every means to find out what happened.

At this point, the news should be released to let all the major gathering places know that this matter is related to demigod cultivators, and that anyone who dares to cooperate with them will surely die.

Knowing the truth, the leaders of the settlement will make a choice: whether or not to continue cooperating with the demigod monks.

If the price of cooperation is being violently killed by the temple, some restless individuals will certainly back down. If the risks are too great and the losses outweigh the gains, no one will do anything foolish.

This warning serves to sever any possibility of cooperation between the various settlements, forcing those demigod cultivators to take desperate measures.

In order to restore their cultivation and seize the opportunity from Tang Zhen as soon as possible, the demigod cultivators will definitely take action.

By stirring up the waters, Tang Zhen could take this opportunity to find the big fish one by one.

If anyone is stubborn or fails to achieve the desired effect, Tang Zhen will continue killing until those ignorant guys obediently cooperate.

When Tang Zhen arrived at the third settlement, he saw that the gate had been sealed off and the survivors were all fully armed, looking as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

There are actually channels of communication between the various settlements. Although they appear to be in competition with each other, they are actually united in their actions and share a common enemy.

Two nearby settlements were attacked in succession, and their leaders were killed in public, falling from the sky and smashing into a pile of mangled flesh.

Upon hearing the news, the local leader was greatly surprised and immediately ordered a state of combat defense.

No one may approach the assembly area without permission, or they will be shot immediately.

The leader of the settlement knew very well that such methods alone could not stop a powerful expert who could instantly kill a fourth-tier cultivator.

In addition to strengthening defenses, he also sent people to investigate carefully and find out the reason why the other party was killed.

There is considerable evidence suggesting that the temple was behind this attack, hence the use of the same methods of killing.

Understanding the reasons behind the attack and researching countermeasures are the best ways to preserve one's life.

To avoid any oversights, personnel were even dispatched to the temple's safe zone to search for the real answers to the questions.

The fearful leader of the settlement watched from a high vantage point, terrified that chaos might break out in his territory.

Unconsciously, he sensed a certain presence, seemingly nearby.

As the leader of the fourth-level cultivators, he instantly felt a chill run down his spine, and his body trembled involuntarily.

The mysterious being who terrified him and killed two tribal leaders might be standing not far from him at this moment.

Although the other party did not make a move, he could feel a terrifying aura that had already locked onto him.

If it erupts suddenly, it may engulf the body in flames and burn it to a pile of charred ashes.

"Whatever you need, just give the order, and I will do my best to accomplish it!"

The leader of the settlement decisively begged for mercy, having no intention of resisting, as that would be playing with his life.

Compromise to save your life is nothing to be ashamed of; what is truly foolish is disregarding the value of one's own life.

He only had one life, and he didn't dare to gamble with it, so he decisively compromised and begged for mercy.

"I have a few questions for you to answer honestly. You must not hide anything or deceive me."

Otherwise, you will bear all the consequences alone, and you might die an even more miserable death.

Upon hearing the cold warning, the settlement leader nodded repeatedly, indicating that he would obediently comply.

How could one treat such a chance to survive as a joke, unless one had truly had enough of living?

"Does the settlement you manage cooperate with demigod cultivators, providing them with large amounts of human essence?"

Upon hearing this question, the leader of the settlement was startled.

The fact that a demigod cultivator was in this city, yet he knew nothing about it, clearly indicates a lack of competence in intelligence gathering.

However, at this moment, he was also glad that he had not received any news, otherwise he might not have been able to resist the temptation and cooperate with the demigod cultivators in the city.

If that were truly the case, he would likely have already been killed, reduced to a pile of charred ashes. (End of Chapter)
