This god is really evil

Chapter 203: Leaving the Temple but Not the People

Seeing Li Yan so persistent, Ao Le couldn't help but sigh.

Brother Li is an upright and kind person, so he thought that there were many upright people in this temple. However, he didn't know that these so-called five major temples were actually places where filth and dirt were hidden.

He was not very clear about other places, but if the shaman in the Temple of All Spirits heard that tens of thousands of evil cult monsters had besieged Qinghe County, including many sorcerers, he would probably turn around and flee immediately.

It would be fine if these people bullied ordinary people, or fought a favorable battle and killed some ordinary cultists with their numerical advantage, but facing this kind of life-and-death battle, asking them to protect ordinary people when they could obviously escape, it would be better to kill them directly.

But since Li Yan has already made up his mind, he has no choice but to give it a try.

Li Yan immediately arranged for the head of the police Zhao Mengsheng to go to the Bu Ran Temple, and asked Ao Le to go to the Wan Ling Temple, Chong Yun to go to the Dao Palace, Niu Ma to go to the Taiyi Palace, and he himself went to the Ming Palace.

There is only one purpose, which is to explain the pros and cons to the managers of the five major temples and let them stay and fight the enemy together with the people of Qinghe County.

At this time, Li Yan, with Zhao Qingshan and several other close followers and constables who had returned from the corpse burning scene, walked through the city towards the Palace of Life.

The entire county town became deserted at this moment, with few people on the streets.

There is no wall that is impenetrable, not to mention that what happened in the past few days were all major events that could not be concealed at all.

The events of the Thousand Eyes Cult's uprising and the battle with the Three Thousand Demon Camp in the past two days, as well as the incident of the evil spirits turning into corpses when burning corpses around Yi Village last night, had already spread throughout the entire county through the mouths of the civilians and soldiers.

People in the city are already in panic.

Now the appearance of the Thousand Eyed Cult members outside the city has also made the atmosphere in the city depressing to the extreme, and not many people dare to go out on the streets.

Thinking of the horrific scenes of the Yuhua Sui case and the Blood Spirit Cult sacrifice case, many people were kneeling at home and praying, asking the five great gods to bless them.

Many devout believers have brought their families to the five major temples to burn incense and worship the gods, begging for their protection.

The fortune tellers in that palace were always aloof and arrogant, serving mostly high-ranking officials or at least wealthy families with some money. But at this time, quite a few common people gathered outside the palace, kneeling and kowtowing, begging for protection from the owner of the fate and the fortune tellers in this palace.

But at this time the door of the Palace of Life was closed and did not open at all.

Seeing several constables escorting Lord Li Yan, the people, who were originally depressed, couldn't help but feel hope again and shouted towards Li Yan's carriage.

Either they wanted to thank Lord Li Yan for his hard work for the people of Qinghe County, or they wanted to beg Lord Li to protect them from this disaster.

"Thank you, Lord Li!"

"The evil cult is so powerful. We only hope that Lord Li can defeat them. We will definitely build a shrine for Lord Li!"

"Please help Mr. Li, please help Mr. Li!"

"Master Li, please take care of yourself!"

After the Yuhua Sui case in Weizi Town and the Xueling Shen Cult case, as well as Li Yan's previous work in vindicating those innocent teenagers, the news had spread quietly. At this time, Li Yan's reputation among the people of Qinghe County had reached a new height. When the people present saw Li Yan appear, they all felt at ease.

It is said that Lord Li Yan is a blessed general, and those evil cult monsters cannot cause any trouble in front of him.

Li Yan smiled and waved to the people, then his face became serious and he said loudly:

"Please rest assured, I came to the Palace of Life this time to invite all the masters of the Palace of Life to fight against the evil cult monsters outside the city. I swear to live and die with Qinghe County! As long as the city survives, the people will survive! If the city dies... the people will die!"

As soon as these words came out, the people present immediately burst into cheers, calling out Lord Li for his noble character. While Li Yan was speaking, he had already arrived at the gate of the Palace of Life, surrounded by a group of constables and the people.

Zhao Qingshan behind him immediately ran to the door of the Palace of Life and began to knock hard, while shouting loudly:

"Master Li Yan, the supervisor of the Qinghe County Astronomical Bureau, is here. Why don't you open the door and welcome him!"

After knocking for a long time, the door of the Palace of Destiny remained closed and no one came out to greet me.

The people present could not help but look at each other, not understanding what was going on.

Zhao Qingshan showed an angry look on his face and waved to the several detectives beside him:

"This Palace of Destiny is so disrespectful to our Lord Li. It's simply lawless! Break the door open!"

As he spoke, he had already slammed towards the door in front of him.

There was a loud "bang" and the door was not fastened but was directly knocked open by Zhao Qingshan.

He stumbled and fell in, falling heavily to the ground, and the door to his life palace was opened wide.

Just seeing the scene inside, everyone present couldn't help but be stunned.

The courtyard of the Palace of Destiny was empty, and even the temple dedicated to the Lord of Destiny was deserted. Only the eternal lamp in front of the statue of the Lord of Destiny was still lit.

Zhao Qingshan and a group of detectives wandered around the courtyard of the Palace of Destiny for a long time, and then quickly returned to Li Yan with a letter in their hands.

"Master Li, this... this Fate Palace doesn't even have a shadow of a person. Instead, there is a letter on the altar, asking you to open it in person."

Zhao Qingshan handed the letter over with both hands, and the crowd of believers who were watching the excitement gathered around him, looking confused and curious.

This fate palace is actually empty, which is really strange.

Li Yan narrowed his eyes and saw that the envelope was indeed written with "Personally from Mr. Li Yan, the Supervisor of the Imperial Observatory."

He immediately opened the envelope and saw that it was written by the Palace Master of Life Palace in Qinghe County.

The content of the letter was also concise and to the point. He only said that he had calculated that there would be a great disaster in Qinghe County. Although people in their fate palace could see the destiny, they could not easily change the fate of heaven and earth. Therefore, they had quietly left Qinghe County last night and headed for the county town.

Moreover, the Palace Master of the Fate Palace also calculated that Li Yan, the Supervisor of the Sitianjian, would come to ask the Fate Palace to take action to resist the enemy, so he left this letter to Li Yan, and also advised Li Yan that it is difficult to defy fate and not to forcibly change his destiny.

After reading the letter, Li Yan couldn't help but smile slightly.

Already ran away?
These people from the so-called five major temples really run faster than rabbits when something happens.

It was worth his efforts to mobilize the soldiers of the Thousand Eyed Cult to pretend to attack the city.

These fortune tellers thought that I wanted their people, but in fact, I wanted the temple.

The temple will remain, but the people will not. If you don't leave, I will have to find someone to chase you away.

Just as he was thinking, he heard a burst of hurried horse hoof sounds. It was Niu Ma riding a horse and rushing over. When he saw Li Yan, he couldn't help but said in a hurry:
"Master... Lord Li, it's bad. The people from Taiyi Palace heard that the evil cult was powerful and have packed their bags. They are preparing to leave the city through the west gate and head to the county town to avoid disaster!"
