I have a city in another world

Chapter 6952 Obvious Clues

The leader of this settlement suddenly realized the truth and finally understood the cause and effect.

It turns out that the root of everything was those demigod cultivators who descended; they were just unlucky ones caught in the crossfire.

Demigod cultivators are powerful and capable of causing immense destruction, so the Starshine Temple must pay close attention to them.

The various settlements within the city were highly likely to be collaborating with demigod cultivators, thus becoming targets of the temple's attacks.

Considering the strength of the demigod cultivators and the generous rewards for completing the mission, some cultivators in the city will surely be tempted.

They secretly cooperated with the alliance and did some illegal things in secret, which seriously damaged the interests of the temple.

The temple cannot show mercy to such a person; the best solution is to kill him.

Regardless of whether it's right or wrong, as long as there's a possibility, there's a reason to take action.

Thinking to himself that he was in a bad mood, the leader of the settlement quickly shouted that he had absolutely not been involved in the matter.

Before today, he had never learned of the arrival of demigods and had no opportunity to cooperate.

The spirit of a former top assassin possesses the ability to see through lies; no amount of sophistry or trickery can work against him.

If you're certain the other party has a problem, no amount of arguing will save them from certain death; if they have no problem, you might as well give them a way out.

Of course, a price must be paid before this can happen.

"From now on, your settlement will be secretly affiliated with the temple, and you will receive support from all sides and will not be included in the list of targets."

The price to pay is to act as the temple's eyes and ears, providing timely intelligence and information.

Once you receive an order, you must execute it unconditionally; refusing even once will cost you your life.

The spirit issued a warning, its tone unusually sinister.

Faced with the choice between killing and not killing, the spirit chose to spare the other's life, thus creating more intelligence gatherers and allowing it to obtain more information as soon as possible.

Tang Zhen did not object to the spirit's arrangement; he simply observed quietly.

The spirit can easily handle things like this without his personal involvement.

Furthermore, sparing the other party's life is tantamount to warning other settlements not to oppose the temple.

Otherwise, if anything goes wrong, they will die a horrible death, burned to the bone, leaving not even a trace of their bones.

The leader of the settlement, who had narrowly escaped death, quickly expressed his gratitude, his heart filled with relief and emotion.

If he hadn't decisively obeyed and chosen to join the temple, he might already be a fireball by now.

Then, according to rumors, he became the third unfortunate leader to be burned to ashes and smashed to pieces.

However, joining the temple requires completing certain tasks; it's not as simple as just joining.

Sure enough, in the next moment, he was marked with the mark of a servant, and a spark floated in his soul.

Once someone disobeys orders or does something against the rules, a single thought can ignite a spark.

When that time comes, he will still be burned to a pile of charcoal.

He secretly groaned, but there was nothing he could do; this was the price of trying to survive against all odds.

Fortunately, as long as one doesn't betray the enemy, one is unlikely to be burned alive. If it's one's own fault, then being burned to death is deserved.

The spirit assigned some tasks, such as investigating and gathering intelligence to see who was hostile to the temple, and tracking down the Alliance's invaders and finding them.

If you make a contribution, you will definitely be rewarded; if you know something but don't report it, you will also be punished.

After being reprimanded, the leader of the settlement became submissive and indicated that he would obey orders.

Although it failed to kill the opponent, the spirit still set it on fire before leaving.

People leave their names behind, geese leave their calls behind, and wherever the spirit of the iron chain weapon goes, a fire must be lit.

Tang Zhen didn't care and let the spirit do whatever it wanted.

After leaving this location, they continued on to the next gathering place, but unexpectedly, they received a message from the temple halfway there.

When the bird-man servants investigated, they discovered a suspicious location and suspected it was related to a demigod.

Demigod cultivators are exceptionally cunning and shouldn't easily reveal their tracks, making one doubt the authenticity of the clues. Whether true or false, it's worth a look; perhaps there will be unexpected gains.

Opportunities are fleeting, so we must seize every second.

Tang Zhen arrived at the scene quickly and found that the place was under close surveillance by the bird-man's servants. In order to avoid alerting the enemy, he did not take any action rashly.

Upon arriving at the scene and learning more details, it turned out that the birdman's servant had discovered the suspicious corpse.

The messenger did not die a natural death; instead, his blood was drained and he was discarded in the basement of the collapsed building.

There were a total of seven bodies, all of whom had clearly died within a short period of time.

The unusual deaths immediately alerted the bird-man servants, who promptly informed the temple.

Tang Zhen entered the scene and indeed saw a pile of corpses carelessly discarded, with a faint stench of decay permeating the narrow space.

There was no need for a detailed investigation; it was clear that this person had been drained of their life essence and blood, and was definitely not in a state of natural death.

The spirit quickly surveyed the scene and searched for useful clues, which was what it did best.

After discovering the clue, she immediately informed Tang Zhen, but couldn't help but express her own thoughts.

"The clues are too obvious; they seem to have been left behind on purpose. It might be a trap."

Whether it's a trap or not, we need to investigate. If the enemy dares to show themselves, that would be the best outcome.

After some tracking, they arrived at the front of a collapsed building.

Battles had taken place here, and houses collapsed on both sides of the street, forcing residents to move away.

Standing on the street and looking around, I didn't see a single person for a long time, but wild cats and rats often appeared.

Such a quiet place is perfect for hiding, especially for those who are afraid to be seen by others.

"I want to see who's hiding here, whether it's a trap or a provocation."

The spirit of the artifact grinned maliciously and charged directly into the building, instantly engulfing it in flames.

A cluster of buildings nearby were engulfed in flames, with thick smoke billowing into the sky.

Just half a minute later, a figure rushed out of the sea of ​​fire, looking somewhat disheveled.

He appears to be a young man, yet he has a pair of deep, calm eyes that are exceptionally clear and bright.

However, at this moment, the owner of these eyes revealed an expression of resentment and anger.

After escaping the inferno, the young man looked at a spot by the roadside where a person was standing, quietly watching him.

"It's you!"

The young man who escaped from the inferno stared intently at Tang Zhen, his eyes filled with remorse and greed.

The main reason for his frustration was that he had met Tang Zhen too early, before his cultivation had recovered to its peak.

Greed was uncontrollable, because he sensed a yearning for the aura of rules emanating from Tang Zhen.

For some unknown reason, Tang Zhen, who seemed like an ordinary person, possessed such a distinct power of rules.

It seems the rumors were true; Tang Zhen does indeed possess fragments of divine essence, an opportunity that could help a demigod ascend to godhood.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sigh softly.

The fact that he took the initiative to find Tang Zhen and that Tang Zhen found him are two completely different concepts.

At this moment, facing Tang Zhen, they had no power to fight back and could only let the other party do as they pleased.

Judging from Tang Zhen's condition, he seemed to have encountered some kind of situation, but he didn't look much different from an ordinary person.

The problem is that Tang Zhen has guards and helpers around him, while he is all alone.

Although they possess protective weapons, they can only deal with ordinary enemies and are no match for cultivators.

This operation targeted Tang Zhen as prey, but judging from the current situation, it is very likely that Tang Zhen will turn the tables and kill him.

A deep sense of resentment and anger rose in the demigod cultivator's heart, which then transformed into a burst of unrestrained laughter.
