"It was someone's arrangement!"

Chen Rui yelled out harshly.

"Someone's arrangement?"

Xiao Mu turned to Lei Shun, waiting for his explanation.

"It's the sheriff of our city, Li Jingyang."

Lei Shun's face also revealed a look of resentment.

"The sheriff?"

Xiao Mu was puzzled, "Isn't he a human?"

"He's just a traitor who betrays humans."

Chen Rui bitterly finished the sentence.

"How so?"

Xiao Mu pressed.

Chen Rui responded bitterly, "This man has long betrayed us to the Evil Ghosts, he's been bought by the Evil Ghost at the Land God Temple."

"Oh!"

In Xiao Mu's eyes a flash of determination showed, he had always held no good feelings towards those who were bought by Evil Ghosts.

Looking at the crowd lining up to incense, Xiao Mu made a decision, "Prevent these people from continuing to offer incense."

If the offering of incense to the Curse Ghost continues, more people will surely die like that old man just now.

"Got it!"

Chen Rui was delighted and promising to do so, he activated his Qinggong, swiftly heading towards the Land God Temple.

In a blink of an eye, he had arrived in front of the Land God Temple, stopping those who continued to offer incense, "Alright, everyone stop offering incense, go back home."

"No need to offer incense anymore? Really?"

Doubtful voices arose from the crowd offering incense.

"It's true, no need to offer incense anymore, no one needs to. There's an important person here, he just gave the order, and asked me to inform everyone, there's no need for incense, so everyone, please hurry home."

Chen Rui announced loudly.

"Ah~"

"Sob sob!"

In the crowd, some people started crying on the spot.

It seems that offering incense to the Evil Ghost at the Land God Temple had indeed put them under great pressure. Hearing Chen Rui say there's no need to offer incense, that pressure was instantly released, feeling a sense of relief.

"Mom, lets go home."

A young man supported a crying old woman and started to pull her away.

"Thank you. Thank you!"

The old woman thanked Chen Rui.

More and more people regained their senses, threw the Unusual Incense they held onto the ground, and prepared to go home.

Suddenly, several cars drove over, stopping in front, blocking the way for those ready to leave.

"Who said no need to offer incense, everyone stop!"

From the cars, in an instant, a dozen martial artists stepped out, all at least at the Early Stage of the Third Realm, the strongest among them had even reached the Late Third Realm.

This realm was the same as Lei Shun's.

"This is an order from Mr. Xiao from the Alliance. Li Jingyang, do you dare to defy the command of Mr. Xiao?"

Chen Rui stepped forward, disdainfully confronting the strongest middle-aged martial artist.

However, the middle-aged martial artist Li Jingyang ignored him and turned his head, "Who is Mr. Xiao from the Alliance?"

As he spoke, his gaze focused on Xiao Mu.

"Mr. Xiao is here, Li Jingyang, aren't you going to show your respects?"

Lei Shun sneered.

Li Jingyang equally ignored Lei Shun, but walked towards Xiao Mu, sounding surprisingly courteous, "You must be Mr. Xiao? Hello, Mr. Xiao."

"Hello!"

Xiao Mu gave him a glance. Because of Chen Rui's words just now, he didn't have much of a good impression of this Li Jingyang.

"Mr. Xiao, the people offering incense cannot leave."

Li Jingyang stated straightforwardly as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Why not?"

Xiao Mu looked at him displeased.

Li Jingyang said: "Mr. Xiao may not know that if incense offering is stopped, a great disaster will surely follow. Not only will Wu family village be destroyed, our entire March City will be at risk."

"Previously, two experts visited this place, but held back and did not destroy the Land God Temple."

Xiao Mu frowned, "What kind of great disaster are you talking about?"

Li Jingyang said: "Mr. Xiao may not know, the Evil Ghost in this Land God Temple has a peculiar power, if it spreads, it can transform into a fog. This fog carries a strong Curse Power, if it's released, anyone who comes into contact with it will quickly turn into dust."

"A Curse Power that turns people into dust?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Mu was surprised. He had never heard of Evil Ghosts with such power before. After contemplating a bit, he finally shook his head, "Does an Evil Ghost have such a power? How come I've never heard of it?"

Li Jingyang said: "If Mr. Xiao doesn't believe my words, feel free to test it yourself. The two elder senior alliance members who came here before were also helpless due to this issue, and had to retreat."

"Li Jingyang, you have never mentioned this to us before."

Lei Shun suddenly called out.

"Even if I told you, would it have made a difference?"

Li Jingyang dismissively curled his lips, showing a hint of contempt.

"Mr. Xiao!"

Lei Shun called to Xiao Mu, clearly waiting for his judgment.

He somewhat doubted Li Jingyang's words.

Xiao Mu didn't answer, his gaze fixed on the Land God Temple.

Despite the evil aura emanating from the Land God Temple, he did not detect the Curse Power Li Jingyang mentioned.

He shook his head, "I didn't find any Curse Power. Besides, even if there is such a Curse Power, I have the means to control it. Alright, Chen Rui, you lead the team to demolish this Land God Temple."

The reason why he wanted to destroy the Land God Temple was because the Evil Ghost was not attached to the temple's deity. If they destroyed the temple, the Curse Ghost would naturally appear.

This is akin to raiding someone's house, once you destroy their house, the person is bound to reveal themselves.

Upon hearing this, Chen Rui was overjoyed, "Roger that! Haha! Guys, did you hear that?! Mr. Xiao has given the order, we have to demolish the Land God Temple."

"Demolish the Land God Temple, haha, finally I can personally destroy it."

Many people were ecstatic, it felt as if they were finally able to vent all the resentment in their hearts.

So a dozen people stepped forward at the same time, coming together to dismantle the Land God Temple.

"Mr. Xiao, hold on!"

Chen Rui once again stepped forward, blocking Xiao Mu, and said with a serious face: "Mr. Xiao, you'd better think it over. This Land God Temple is extremely sinister. If we could have demolished it, we would have done so long ago instead of waiting until today."

"Mr. Xiao ordered to demolish it, but what if something goes wrong, who will take responsibility?"

You guys couldn't do it, that's because your abilities were insufficient, it doesn't mean that I can't do it either.

Chen Rui's actions displeased Xiao Mu. He immediately retorted: "That's not something you need to worry about. If anything happens, I will be the one to take responsibility."

"Since Mr. Xiao is determined to proceed, I will say no more, but in case anything goes wrong, I hope Mr. Xiao will remember his words today."

Chen Rui backed away, his tone carrying a clear threat.

Because of the difference in their abilities, Xiao Mu deciding to demolish the Land God Temple wasn't something he could prevent, let alone the fact there were people in the city who supported Xiao Mu.

Xiao Mu waved his hand, signaling Chen Rui and the others to begin.

"Guys, demolish it!"

Chen Rui shouted, at the same time he signaled the others, he was the first to launch an attack on the Land God Temple.

As a martial artist, his first move was a fierce palm wind, brutally smashing into the wall of the Land God Temple.

The walls of this Land God Temple were clearly stronger than the average ones, nonetheless, with a single palm strike from Chen Rui, a large hole was smashed into the wall.
