Having said this, Star Fire God looked at Chu Ci: "This is a good opportunity. If you want to know the news about the Temple of Life, now is the only time."
Due to the existence of the contract, the city closest to here will soon receive news of the death of the false god.
This time, not one or two false gods died, but all the false gods died, which would definitely cause shock in the Thirteen Cities.
As long as the leaders of the Thirteen Cities are not stupid, they will shrink their forces and hide themselves, waiting for others in the desert to come back.
Once they hide, it will be much more difficult to find them again. You must know that the Temple of Life has many hiding methods, otherwise Starfire God and others would not have come to the desert to investigate for so long without substantial gains.
If you want to catch them, you have to do it before the temple can react.
But whether or not to catch these people for investigation depends on Chu Ci.
After all, according to the original plan, after they dealt with these false gods, they should rush to the desert to deal with the remaining false gods instead of continuing to investigate in depth.
Not to mention that Chu Ci's sense of heaven is the key to seizing the upper echelons of these temples.
As expected, Chu Ci frowned after hearing Starfire God's words.
Seeing this, Starfire God said in a deep voice: "Our plan to ambush the false god went smoothly. We still have plenty of time. This opportunity is rare. I think we can give it a try."
"Besides, we still don't know the purpose of the Temple of Life's attack on the Temple of Earth. If we can capture the temple's senior officials, we may be able to find out what they want to do."
Although they didn't get along for long, Xinghuo Shen probably understood Chu Ci's character and his concerns.
Chu Ci fell silent.
Starfire God's words make sense. There is definitely a reason why the Temple of Life attacked the Temple of Earth. If they don't understand this, they will be very passive.
Even if the false gods in the desert are killed, the remaining legion of reformed warriors will still be a problem. Only after knowing their purpose can we find a way to solve it.
After thinking for a while, Chu Ci slowly said: "We can give it a try, but time is limited and we can only go to one city."
The troops of the Thirteen Cities Alliance have reached the desert frontline and launched an attack on the cities in the central region. Even some southern cities near the central region have also been attacked.
The Transformation Warrior Legion is very powerful and has an almost crushing advantage on the frontal battlefield. However, their number is not large compared to the entire frontline force. In addition, they are not very adaptable to the desert environment. Therefore, various tribes
Relying on the advantage of location and numbers, we can barely persevere.
But this is not a long-term solution. Once a false god becomes impatient and takes action, these tribes and cities will immediately fall apart.
Hearing Chu Ci's words, Starfire God showed a smile on his face.
With the decision made, Chu Ci and others quickly rushed to the nearest city-Tongcheng.
Tongcheng is a city located in the hinterland of Tianshou Prefecture. It is also one of the three core cities of the Thirteen Cities. There is no place bordering the desert around it. It is a very prosperous city.
Most of the people living in this city have outgrown their identity as desert residents, and many have never even seen a desert in their entire lives.
Thanks to the fertile land environment and abundant resources, except for the occasional frictions and conflicts with several other cities, there are basically no major events in Copper City on weekdays. The people in the city are also used to this kind of comfortable life.
However, the peaceful Tongcheng in the past was in chaos today.
The city's defensive formations were fully activated, and the garrison affiliated with the city lord's palace rarely began to patrol the streets. Even the group army of the Life Group also dispatched patrols.
The entire city has entered a curfew, and all residents are required to stay at home and not go out on the streets.
Once someone is found on the street, they will be immediately taken away by the group army.
In less than half an hour, many people and homeless people who had just finished working overtime were arrested, causing a commotion. Many people reported and objected to the city lord's palace.
However, the group army still went its own way, arresting one by one whenever they saw it, and the city lord's palace let them do nothing. Instead, they suppressed these opposing voices with iron-blooded means.
Inside the city lord's palace.
A majestic man in rich clothes sat quietly on a chair, holding a cup of tea in his hand, sipping it every sip, his eyes full of thoughts, as if he was thinking about something.
After a long while, he sighed softly, put down the tea, closed his eyes, and quietly waited for the news.
I don't know how long it took, but there were rapid footsteps outside, and then a guard with intermediate strength ran in without even knocking on the door.
Seeing Konoe panting, the man in fine clothes frowned: "How many times have I told you to knock before entering..."
"It's bad! City Lord! News came from the temple that the aura of the life scroll dedicated to the Lord God has disappeared!"
The man in rich clothes was startled, but his face soon returned to calmness, and he said in a deep voice: "Why are you panicking? The fact that the enemy can kill the enshrined god of Centenary City is enough to show that he has some strength. He wants to kill him and sacrifice himself."
It is inevitable for one or two people to worship the gods."
"But not just one breath disappeared, but all of them!"
"What?!"
The man in fine clothes could no longer maintain his calm attitude. He stood up and opened his eyes wide. His high-level aura burst out: "Say it again!"
Feeling the pressure of this momentum, Konoe grunted in his throat and gritted his teeth and said: "The twelve worshiping gods who went to join together were all killed in battle! Even the life scroll auras of Lord Black Sheep and Lord White Bones have disappeared!
"
"Clang!"
The man in rich clothes was so shocked by the news that he almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, he held on to the table next to him and staggered to sit down.
But the teacup on the table, which was obviously expensive, suffered an old sin and was knocked to the ground, making the sound of breaking money.
"Impossible! There are twelve worshiping gods, and there are black sheep and white bones. Even the middle god can't kill them so quickly..." The man in gorgeous clothes kept mumbling, but there was still a look of disbelief in his eyes.
color.
After joining the Temple of Life, he had seen the enshrined gods take action. The power and scenes were far beyond what humans could achieve. Except for Dulong, even all the special beings in the Thirteen Cities combined were not enough for Black Sheep to kill alone.
The man in gorgeous clothes couldn't imagine how such twelve powerful worshiping gods could be killed in such a short period of time.
Is the opponent a superior god?
Thinking of this, the man in fine clothes trembled, stood up quickly, and walked quickly outside.
"Follow me to Temple No. 3 and open the Hidden Breathing Formation. I'm going to stay there for a few days! In addition, inform all the temple personnel to hide them. They are not allowed to come out without permission before Dulong comes back!"
"yes!"
After being prepared in a short period of time, the man in fine clothes took advantage of the darkness and left Copper City with a group of guards.
But when the man in fine clothes was halfway there, four figures suddenly appeared in front of him.
These four people looked ordinary, but they just stood there and attracted everyone's attention, as if they were the protagonists of the world.
A guard came forward and was about to angrily scold the four people who were blocking the way, when he was blocked by a man in rich attire.
The man in fine clothes had a bitter look on his face: "Is it Lord God?"
The handsome young man in white clothes at the head smiled and asked without answering, "Are you the Lord of Copper City?"
Although the words were questions, Chu Ci's tone was very sure.
"It's me." The man in fine clothes is worthy of being the lord of the city. He quickly adjusted his attitude and said respectfully: "I wonder what the Lord God has to do with me?"
Although Chu Ci didn't admit it, his tone and momentum said everything.
The man in rich clothes sighed secretly, there are actually four gods!
No wonder all those worshiping gods are dead, and we don’t know where such a large number of gods came from.
Chu Ci smiled slightly, but still did not answer, thinking to himself: "Tong Mi, the current city lord of Tongcheng, took over the position of city lord from the previous city lord, your father Tong Sheng, thirty-seven years ago, and has worked hard to govern the city for the thirty-seven years since he took office.
Obtained unanimous praise from the residents of Copper City..."
The man in the rich uniform looked stunned, wondering why Chu Ci suddenly mentioned his information.
None of this information about him is a secret. Anyone who is willing can learn about it. Even the man in colorful clothes intends to publicize this information to stabilize his rule.
However, Chu Ci didn't explain, and he didn't dare to ask, so he could only listen carefully.
Chu Ci continued: "Logically speaking, with your conditions and abilities, even among the best in the entire Tianshou Mansion, with such huge wealth and power, you could have become the sole ruler of Copper City, one of the most powerful people in the world.
existence."
"But why do you want to join the Temple of Life and succumb to it?"
Sure enough, they knew.
The man in fine clothes sighed, the luck in his heart shattered.
With a wry smile, the man in rich clothes said, "If I tell you, will the Lord God spare my life?"
Under normal circumstances, gods will not kill mortals. This is the news that the man in Huafu learned from the Temple of Life, but he is still worried.
What is this general situation? Is it considered a general situation now?
Those who worship gods kill people without mercy at all. Who knows if these gods will be the same.
"Yes, as long as you can truthfully tell me the information you want and pass my assessment, I will spare your life." Chu Ci answered happily.
"Assessment? What assessment?"
The man in fine clothes showed a vigilant look on his face. Isn't God's assessment a simple thing? Don't die at the beginning. Could it be that he was deceived?
As if he knew the concerns of the man in fine clothes, Chu Ci said with a smile: "Don't worry, it's a very simple test. Ordinary people can pass it, even children can pass it."
Hearing this assurance, the man in rich clothes felt at ease, pondered for a while, and decided to answer Chu Ci's question: "The reason why I joined the Temple of Life is very simple, because only they can make me the city leader."
"Actually, I am not the only heir to the city lord. My father has three children, and I am the third. My eldest brother is the first heir."
As if being reminded of memories, the man in fine clothes said softly:
"In terms of ability, the eldest brother is better than me. In terms of strength, the second brother is better than me. The two of them are several years older than me. Many of the elders of Copper City are related to them. If I want to seize the position of city lord, basically
No chance."
"It was at this time that the Temple of Life came to me..."
Chu Ci expressionlessly stopped the man in fine clothes from recounting his memories and said, "That's enough. I roughly understand your motivation for joining the temple. No need to say more."
The man in fine clothes was speechless and his expression was very aggrieved.
That’s not what you wanted me to say!
I was emotionally prepared, but you didn’t listen?
If anyone else dared to play tricks on him like this, he would definitely let them see why the flowers were so red.
But the person in front of him was a god, so the man in fine clothes could only laugh and said: "Then can we leave?"
"I haven't finished asking the question yet. Do you think I stopped you just to hear your memories?" Chu Ci raised an eyebrow.
The expression of the man in fine clothes stiffened, and the muscles on his face twitched due to the rapid change of emotion.
He took a deep breath, adjusted his mentality, and said helplessly: "Is it my fault? Please ask."
The seven-colored god behind Chu Ci was amused by the expression of the man in fine clothes and couldn't help but smile.
That smile bloomed like a hundred flowers, leaving the guards behind the man in fine clothes dumbfounded.
They had never seen a god smile before, and it turned out to be a very pretty smile.
Seeing a group of mortals staring at him, the Seven-Colored God's smile quickly faded and returned to his indifferent look, as if it was not him who was smiling just now.
It’s over, it’s over, my aloof goddess persona!
The Seven-Colored God was upset and wished he could crack open the brains of these mortals and then shift and delete the memories inside.
Chu Ci didn't pay attention to the movement of the seven-color god behind him, and asked the man in Chinese clothes: "Where is the headquarters of the Temple of Life?"
Is it such an explosive question from the beginning?
The man in rich clothes rubbed his stiff face and sighed: "I don't know."
Starfire God frowned, and even Chu Ci's face darkened.
"I really don't know." As if he was afraid that Chu Ci and the others would not believe him, the man in the Chinese uniform explained: "Those of us from Thirteen Cities all joined the Life Temple later and don't know much about the real Life Temple.
I only know part of the information.”
"Even though I hold a high position in the Temple of Life in the Thirteen Cities, I still don't have the trust of the headquarters. In the entire Thirteen Cities Alliance, only Du Long is the one who knows the news about the headquarters."
Chu Ci's expression softened slightly and he nodded.
This is in line with the consistent style of the Temple of Life.
"Then tell me, what is your purpose in attacking the Earth Temple?"
Hearing this question, the man in Chinese clothes was startled, and then his eyes showed a look of surprise, and he answered honestly: "Because the development of the Earth Temple hinders our desert plan, it must be eradicated."
"Desert plan? What plan is that?" Chu Ci frowned.
"Starting a war in the Fire-Spitting Desert, allowing the Thirteen Cities Alliance to benefit behind the scenes, develop the power of the temple at the right time, and bring the entire Fire-Spitting Desert under the control of the Temple of Life!"
"It's just you?" Qise Shen couldn't help but said.
A place that is less than one-tenth the size of the Fire Spitting Desert actually dares to encroach on the power of the entire desert.
"It won't work under normal circumstances. Even if they blow their brains out, it will be useless. But if there is a problem with the water source in the entire desert, then we who control the largest water source will have the possibility to rule the spitting fire desert!" The man in Chinese clothes is confident.
road.
Chu Ci frowned, and he realized something was wrong.
"Wait a minute, according to what you said, are you guys messing around with the water source problem in the Spitting Fire Desert?"
