"Holy crap! What's going on?!"
Gu Tianchen panicked instantly. This was a community of people worshipping gods in Egypt, and there would be gods guarding it to some extent.
Let alone a demigod, he'd be utterly defeated even if he encountered a Klein-level being.
Fortunately, the black totem on his wrist emitted a faint light, proving that his uncle Houqing was not far away, which put Gu Tianchen's mind at ease.
He looked around and found that everyone in the huge central square was kneeling and worshipping towards the Temple of the Sun, while he was the only one standing, making him seem somewhat out of place.
Gu Tianchen sat cross-legged on the ground and looked at a pretty woman beside him, asking, "Sister, what are you praying for?"
The beautiful woman didn't speak, she just kept bowing to the Temple of the Sun, her eyes empty and her expression numb.
Everyone around them was in this state, which looked very eerie and strange.
Snapped!
Suddenly, a hand landed on Gu Tianchen's shoulder from behind!
Without a second thought, Gu Tianchen grabbed the other person's wrist and threw him to the ground with an over-the-shoulder throw.
"Ouch...ouch..."
The moment he was thrown out, Gu Tianchen realized that he seemed to have thrown the wrong person.
Lying on the ground was an elderly woman with white hair, clutching her aching back and groaning in pain.
"Forehead……"
Gu Tianchen quickly stepped forward to help the old lady up, and said with an embarrassed expression, "I'm sorry, Grandma, I thought he was a bad guy and that's why I helped him."
The old woman looked at him with a reproachful expression and said, "Young man, you must never act so impulsively in the future. You almost broke my old bones, ouch..."
Gu Tianchen smiled and nodded, "Okay, okay, I'll be more careful next time."
The old woman said, "I am the priestess in charge of temple affairs, and everyone calls me Priestess Granny."
"Young man, when you worship the sun, you can't look around. You have to accept the sun's baptism with the purest heart. Hasn't anyone taught you these rules?"
Gu Tianchen said with a smile, "Sorry, I'm new here and don't know the rules. Which one is the Temple of the Sun God? I'll go blow it up."
"Inside here... um? What did you just say?" the priestess suddenly realized and asked.
Gu Tianchen said in a serious tone, "I want to know which of these temples is the temple of the sun god. I'll give twenty shards to that bastard to celebrate his birthday."
The priestess's gaze towards Gu Tianchen suddenly changed. "I understand now. You're a member of the Shangxie Society, and you want to destroy our temple again!"
"Come quickly..."
Snapped!
Gu Tianchen delivered a karate chop to the back of the priestess's head, forcibly shutting her down before she could even cry for help.
"Hmm, just the right amount of force, enough to daze you but not hurt your brain." Gu Tianchen shook his hand with great satisfaction.
Looking at the temples not far away, Gu Tianchen said with a self-deprecating laugh, "Heh, I was an idiot too. Why did I have to look for the Temple of the Sun?"
"Since they're all temples of the Nine Pillar Gods anyway, let's just blow them all up!"
Gu Tianchen used the invisibility technique from the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow to run through the crowd and rush towards the nearest temple.
click!
When leaving the capital, Gu Tianchen casually stole an armory, and of course, the "IOU" was still written with the name of the notorious thief Shen Qingzhu.
Gu Tianchen flipped his hand and pulled out a rocket launcher, then blasted it at the temple!
boom!
The rocket, trailing a long contrail, hurtled straight toward the temple!
boom!
A flash of golden light appeared, and a golden barrier suddenly appeared around the temple, blocking the rocket attack.
"Holy crap, this thing even has a bulletproof system?" The rocket launcher on Gu Tianchen's shoulder was still emitting white smoke.
hum!
At the top of one of the temples, a golden round mirror turned, and a beam of golden light shot out from its surface.
The golden light instantly shattered Gu Tianchen's invisibility spell, revealing him carrying a rocket launcher and blowing up the temple...
Chapter 278 The Priestess's Identity
The beam of light reflected from the mirror shone on Gu Tianchen like a spotlight on a stage, making him the brightest star in the entire square.
The guards from the surrounding temple instantly surrounded them: Hai Jing, Wu Liang, Klein...
Gu Tianchen smiled awkwardly and asked tentatively, "If I said I was a quality inspector sent by Sun City to check if the temple was a shoddy construction project, would you believe me?"
The leader of the Klein Border Guards waved his hand expressionlessly, like a heartless killing machine.
"Kill him."
At his command, a group of guards rushed towards Gu Tianchen.
Gu Tianchen summoned the Fiery Dragon Halberd with a flick of his hand, and unleashed a burst of Heavenly Divine Fire, instantly blasting away the few Sea Realm guards who were charging at the forefront.
A boundless guard, wielding a battle axe, slashed fiercely at Gu Tianchen!
clang!
The two powerful forces collided, and the guard at the Boundless Realm was thrown back by the terrifying force, crashing directly into a pillar of the temple, where a tiny crack appeared.
The commander of the Klein territory's guards frowned slightly as he looked at the cracks in the pillar.
hum!
The guard commander attacked instantly, unleashing a palm strike with terrifying mental power aimed at Gu Tianchen's chest. The speed was so fast that Gu Tianchen had no time to defend!
Just then, a figure sprang to his feet and instantly stood in front of Gu Tianchen, blocking the attack for him!
boom!
A terrifying gust of wind swept between the two, scattering the surrounding believers like leaves, leaving only Gu Tianchen and a few dozen guards to stabilize themselves amidst the ripples of energy.
The two exerted their strength at the same time to repel each other, and only then did Gu Tianchen realize that the person who had blocked the attack for him was actually the priestess who had just been knocked unconscious by him!
"No, Priestess, you..."
"There's no time to explain, get in the car!" the priestess shouted.
"Where's the car...?" Gu Tianchen asked in confusion.
boom!
A cyberpunk-style pixelated motorcycle flew in from a distance. The priestess performed a backflip and landed steadily on the motorcycle, then drifted around a corner and flung away several guards who were rushing towards her.
Gu Tianchen was completely numb...
"What are you standing there for? Are you out of your mind?!"
Gu Tianchen then realized what was happening, jumped onto the motorcycle in an instant, and the priestess twisted the throttle, speeding away from the outside of the square!
The guard commander's eyes turned cold. "Trying to run?"
He twisted the stone lion on the pillar next to him, and all the passageways in the square were lowered by a heavy gate.
The priestess did not slow down and continued to rush towards the closed gate at full speed!
Gu Tianchen asked somewhat nervously, "Grandma Priest, you're not thinking of breaking down the door, are you?"
“I have experience ramming doors, and in my experience, this thing shouldn’t be able to be broken open…”
The priestess smiled slightly and said calmly, "Have you ever heard of the long-lost flying chariot technique from the martial arts world?"
Gu Tianchen asked with some confusion, "What kind of flying car stunt?"
"Hold on tight, I'm about to show you!"
The priestess twisted the accelerator, activated the nitrous oxide, and launched herself into the sky!
"Nine Heavens Thunder kicks with both feet!"
The pixelated motorcycle transformed into a robot, accelerating with nitro on both feet, and leaped off the plaza wall in an instant.
The moment it landed, it transformed into a motorcycle, carrying the priestess and Gu Tianchen away.
Gu Tianchen rubbed his forehead, speechless. "Tell your Chairman Ji to watch less cartoons."
The priestess smiled and said, "Oh, it seems you already know my identity."
"With such an obvious pixel style, it's hard not to guess," Gu Tianchen said with a smile.
The priestess, now out of danger, stopped her motorcycle and said with a smile, "I am one of the special envoys of the Upper Evil Society, responsible for gathering intelligence on the Egyptian community."
"Thank you for earlier. Your Shangxie family has experience in blowing up temples, so let's cooperate." Gu Tianchen extended an olive branch.
“No, I’ve tried. These newly built temples are made with divine bricks from Sun City. Ordinary demolition methods won’t work.” The priestess shook her head.
Gu Tianchen glanced at the pixelated motorcycle and asked, "Hasn't your Chairman Ji invented any special pixelated bombs or something?"
The priestess said earnestly, "Our leader is busy studying, busy destroying the human community, and also faces the danger of being hunted down by various gods. He has no time to invent anything."
Gu Tianchen's lips twitched slightly. He's so busy, yet he still has time to date eight male escorts?
A master of time management!
"Fine, since you can't do it, leave it to me. If we can't blow a road open, we'll use our fists!" Gu Tianchen said, clenching his fist.
"Are you kidding me? That's a sacred brick. What are you going to use to break it?" the priestess asked.
Gu Tianchen said with a smile, "I have an uncle who is invincible below the level of a god, and can be traded one for one above the level of a god. He can easily handle a small temple."
The priestess said, "According to the traditions of our Great Xia mythology, unless you are Erlang Shen Yang Jian or Liu Chenxiang, moving your uncle is of no use."
As the two were talking, something suddenly approached rapidly from underground.
"careful!"
boom!
A strange cane suddenly burst from the ground, directly striking the priestess and severely injuring her.
A ragged, hunchbacked old woman walked over, reaching out to grab the cane that had been sent flying back.
