Chapter 395: The Art of Bewitching Demons and Destroying Gods!
Fire Poison Temple.
Dozens of temple personnel gathered in the spacious hall.
Seeing that no one had come for a long time, a group of people began to whisper.
"By the way, do you know what the great priest wanted to do when he called us here?"
"I don't know, the high priest didn't tell me."
"Priest He, haven't you even received the message?"
"Is there another secret mission for us? The last mission just ended not long ago."
The man known as Priest He was a man with a gentle temperament. He smiled and said: "I hope so. The more the great priest values us, the more important tasks he will entrust to us. We cannot live up to his expectations.
"
"For the glory of my God, why should I fear even if I sacrifice my life?"
The other temple staff looked ashamed after hearing this.
A priest praised: "As expected of Priest He, his ideological consciousness is very high. No wonder he is valued by the great priest."
"Yes, Priest He is the genius who has been promoted to the second-level priest the fastest in our temple. I'm afraid he is not far from the first-level priest now, right?"
"Thank you for your praise, I still need to continue to work hard." Priest He said modestly.
After talking for a while about what the high priest might do when he summoned them, everyone shifted the topic to the recent war.
Hurd stood aside, listening to everyone's conversation with a smile, chiming in a few words from time to time, and looking like he was listening carefully.
But in fact, his mind was no longer here, and he was observing the situation in the hall without trace.
The more he observed, the more he felt something was wrong.
There were a total of forty-eight people in the hall, and including him, they were all new members who had joined the temple in recent years.
Even the people who had just joined the temple last month were summoned.
This way, it doesn't look like I have a mission.
This made Hurd feel a little uneasy.
Could it be that you went too far last time and exposed yourself?
Forget it, don't scare yourself. Even if the temple has suspicions, they can't suspect him. He has a sufficient alibi.
Hurd comforted himself in his heart, but he didn't show any signs of it on his face. He was talking to others like a spring breeze, looking like a leader among the people.
However, what Hurd didn't know was that while he was observing other people, someone was also observing him.
On the altar of the main hall, five gods put their hands on their backs and looked down at the situation in the main hall.
Obviously these five people were not far away from the crowd, but no one in the hall could notice them, and they talked about their topics indifferently.
Chu Ci silently observed the crowd in the hall, listened to their conversation, and took in everything.
The Fire Poison God on the side couldn't help it anymore and asked: "Your Excellency, Guardian Star God, how are you doing?"
Chu Ci withdrew his gaze and said with a faint smile: "We almost have an outline."
"But just in case, we still need to confirm again."
"Your Excellency, the God of Fire and Poison, please ask your great priest to come over and ask these people a question." Chu Ci moved his mouth slightly and sent a message to the God of Fire and Poison.
The Fire Poison God nodded slightly: "Okay, I'll give the order right now."
In less than half a quarter of an hour, a priest wearing a bright red robe walked into the hall.
"Master High Priest!"
Everyone in the hall stopped talking and saluted the priest in red robes.
The high priest nodded slightly, first bowed to the altar without leaving any trace, and then came to the front of everyone and said slowly: "I have summoned you all to come here today. There is nothing important. I just have a question to ask you."
"I wonder if you have ever heard of the name 'Xiangjun'?"
"Xiangjun, who is that?"
"I don't know, it looks like a woman's name."
"Are you the priest of which temple?"
Everyone was talking a lot, with doubts on their faces, obviously they had not heard of this name.
But someone once said it.
When he heard the word "Xiangjun", Hurd in the crowd shrank his pupils, and the shock in his heart could not be recovered.
Why do they know the name of the Second Hall Master?
Have they discovered the second hall master?
Impossible. With the strength of the Fire Poison Temple, meeting the second hall master would only lead to death. It is impossible to escape unscathed after finding out.
Even the Fire Poison God is no match for the Second Hall Master.
Then how did they know the name of the second hall master?
Although he was shocked in his heart, Hurd didn't show it on his face. He had the same doubts on his face as the others, as if he really didn't know who Xiang Jun was.
However, what he didn't know was that all his actions, even his mood swings, were caught by Chu Ci.
Chu Ci withdrew his gaze, and the black light in his pupils gradually dissipated.
"Okay, I've determined who the spy is."
"You found it now?" The God of Gamblers looked stunned.
Chu Ci asked someone to ask him a question, then came over to take a look, and that was the end.
The God of Gamblers really couldn't figure out how Chu Ci found out the spy.
During the whole process, there was not a single surge of divine power, and even Chu Ci didn't even have any divine power to operate.
"I didn't see you perform magic just now." The God of Gamblers said suspiciously, "You couldn't be just guessing, right?"
"You think I am you. I found you based on my strength. If you didn't realize it, that's because you are too incompetent." Chu Ci said scornfully.
The God of Gambling's expression froze and he said angrily: "I don't believe other people can see it!"
"Did you see it?"
The blind god coughed dryly: "Fortunately, I can barely see something."
The God of Gamblers' eyes widened and he said, "Can you please open your eyes first before talking? You are blind, you can see shit!"
"Do you know what the art of the mind's eye is? I can see a lot more things than you." The blind god said not to be outdone.
Another companion also nodded in agreement: "Yes, the spells of Lord Guardian Star God are very hidden. It's normal that you can't see them."
"What do you mean?" The God of Gamblers immediately jumped in anger: "I am the middle pillar god!"
"Yes, yes," the blind god said perfunctorily.
The God of Gamblers looked at the God of Fire and Poison unwillingly, wanting to ask him if he hadn't seen it either, but in the end he only saw the expressionless expression on the God of Fire and Poison's face.
That disdainful look deeply hurt the heart of the God of Gamblers, making him wonder, was it really because he was too weak that he didn't see it?
In fact, the Fire Poison God originally wanted to ask, but seeing that the other two gods had said so, he did not continue to ask.
He is afraid that others will think that his strength is too weak.
As the god of gambling, he naturally has a strong psychological quality. He quickly recovered from his self-doubt and asked: "Who is the spy?"
Chu Ci smiled slightly and looked at someone: "That's him."
Everyone followed Chu Ci's gaze and saw the gentle-tempered priest among the crowd.
"Hurd?" The Fire Poison God was surprised: "How could it be him?"
"Why, is there anything special about this person?"
The Fire Poison God hesitated for a moment and said: "I have some impressions of Hurd. He is the most outstanding priest among this group of people. During this war, he repeatedly rescued the team from danger and established a good foundation for the temple.
contribution."
"My beloved ones also spoke highly of this man, saying that he is a rare talent."
Speaking of this, the Fire Poison God couldn't help but said: "Your Excellency, Guardian Star God, did you make a mistake? When Hurd entered the temple, he was not even a special person. How could he be a spy?"
If the God of Gamblers were to say that Hurd was a spy, the God of Fire and Poison would be the first to not believe it and would even drive the person out.
But Chu Ci was different. Not to mention his great strength, just helping to eliminate the threat of the Water Moon Wolf Demon was enough to win his respect.
Besides, he couldn't get out.
Respect is respect, but it does not mean that Fire Poison God unconditionally believes in Chu Ci.
If Chu Ci hadn't given him a reason to convince him, he wouldn't have let a few people take Hed away.
Seemingly sensing the Fire Poison God's suspicion, Chu Ci said, "I know your concerns, so let's call Hurd over and I can let him explain it clearly to you in person."
Everyone was stunned and didn't understand what Chu Ci meant.
Can he admit this kind of thing personally?
The God of Gamblers seemed to have thought of something and guessed: "Mind reading?"
Only mind reading can ignore Hurd's lies and directly read his inner thoughts.
Hearing what the God of Gamblers said, the God of Fire and Poison's expression changed slightly.
Except for altar prayers, the use of mind-reading skills by gods under other circumstances will cause irreversible mental damage to people. This is why the God of Fire and Poison objects to the use of mind-reading skills by the God of Gamblers and others.
However, if the spirit is strong enough and the level of mind reading is high enough, this kind of mental damage will be infinitely reduced.
But the Fire Poison God obviously didn't think Chu Ci had this ability, even though he had just killed a Water Moon Wolf demon not long ago.
Chu Ci shook his head and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I promised not to use mind-reading skills, but I won't use mind-reading skills."
The Fire Poison God breathed a sigh of relief.
At Chu Ci's request, everyone in the hall left after a while, leaving only Hed.
Looking at the empty hall, Hurd felt a little uneasy, but remained calm on the surface. He said to the high priest in front of him: "Master high priest, do you want to leave me alone here? Do you have any special tasks for me?"
The high priest did not answer, but turned around and bowed respectfully to the altar.
"Lord Fire Poison God, Hurd has been brought here."
"Very good, you can go down first." The indifferent voice of the Fire Poison God came from the altar.
Hurd was shocked to discover that at some point, five figures appeared on the altar.
One of them looks exactly like the statue on the altar!
Hurd was shocked and fell to his knees, pretending to be excited.
"Hurd has met Lord Fire Poison God!"
"Get up." The Fire Poison God waved away the high priest and said, "I will keep you here this time because there is something that requires your cooperation."
"As long as Lord Fire Poison God orders you to do so, Hart will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
The Fire Poison God nodded with satisfaction and looked at Chu Ci.
Chu Ci smiled slightly, walked forward and said, "Raise your head."
"look into my eyes."
The clear voice seemed to have magic power, making Hurd raise his head obediently and look at Chu Ci.
This glance directly made him sink into it and fall into a brief state of trance.
But Hurd soon came back to his senses and quickly lowered his head, not daring to look into Chu Ci's eyes again.
"Okay, now you can ask him questions in person." Chu Ci turned to look at the Fire Poison God.
"What did you do?" The Fire Poison God looked puzzled.
He just noticed a slight fluctuation in mental power, but it soon disappeared.
"It's nothing." Chu Ci smiled and said, "I just guided his spiritual world a little so that he would only tell the truth."
The Fire Poison God looked solemn: "Mind control?"
Chu Ci shook his head: "It's not mental control. I just temporarily removed the option of lying from his subconscious. It didn't have any other impact on him."
"If you are worried, you can check it yourself. His mental world and soul are in good condition."
What Chu Ci used was the God-Controlling Technique in the Bewitching Demon Technique—Severing Gods.
Use mental power to influence the opponent's subconscious, causing them to temporarily lose certain instincts.
The Fire Poison God was silent for a while and said: "No need, I believe you."
Mental control is a continuous state. If it is really mental control, then Chu Ci should always maintain the output of mental power to Hurd.
But the Fire Poison God didn't notice any fluctuations in his mental power now.
With such a close distance and being in his temple, even if the superior god exerts mental control here, he cannot hide from his induction.
The mental fluctuations that briefly appeared and disappeared just now also confirmed that what Chu Ci said was true.
Thinking of this, the Fire Poison God looked at Hurd.
Hurd also heard the conversation between the two, with a look of horror on his face.
"do not come!"
"Damn God! What on earth did you do to me?!"
"God of Fire and Poison, you are a loser. You allow other gods to attack your believers in your territory. Are you worthy of being a god?"
Hurd quickly covered his mouth and backed away in panic.
These are clearly not what he wanted to say!
The Fire Poison God's face was ashen.
Now that things have happened, there is no need to ask anymore.
Obviously, there is something really wrong with Hurd!
After taking a deep breath, the Fire Poison God was still unwilling to give up and asked: "Tell me your true identity."
"My name is Hurd. I am the second-level liaison officer of the Temple of Life. I follow the orders of the second hall master and am responsible for sneaking into the Temple of Fire and Poison..."
Before Hurd could react, he spoke out a series of information first.
Even if he covered his mouth, the words still fell out of his mouth word by word.
It's over, it's all over.
What kind of wicked technique is this?
Hurd was desperate.
Listening to Hurd's answer, the Fire Poison God's face became increasingly gloomy, and his fists clenched unconsciously.
It turns out that the reason why their temple is in this state is because of this traitor!
"You damn traitor!"
The God of Fire and Poison finally couldn't listen anymore, and the divine power full of anger burst out from his body and charged towards Hurd!
That powerful force leaves no doubt that Hurd will be instantly killed!
Looking at the huge impact of divine power, Hurd looked horrified.
"No!"
At the critical moment, a figure appeared in front of Hurd and blocked the divine impact.
"Bang!"
A strong collision sounded, and the collapsing divine power stirred up violent air currents and spread to all directions in the hall.
Chu Ci stood in front of Hed, waved his hands to disperse the air around him, and said, "Fire Poison God, I know how you feel now."
