I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 1028

Amidst the ashes flying in the sky, countless grey Gu Poison Worms were hidden, as small as specks of dust, nearly invisible to the naked eye.

They entered the body through the nostrils as the pilgrims greedily inhaled.

After inhaling the Gu Poison Worms, everyone's cheeks flushed, their expressions grew excited, and all their ailments seemed to vanish, as if their bodies were full of endless energy.

However, all of this was merely an illusion.

"Phantom Midge can catalyze emotions. The deeper the obsession in one's heart, the stronger the effect."

"Conversely, those who are detached from worldly desires and have a clear mind will not be affected."

Chen Mo's eyes were cold. Anyone who can climb the steep mountain path to pray at the summit certainly has desires they're wishing to fulfill.

The fear of illness, the craving for wealth... These emotions would be further amplified by the Phantom Midge, and the Gu God Sect obviously deliberately exploited this fact.

"Infinite Heavenly Venerate!"

"Thank you, True Monarch, for bestowing mana and saving the people from dire straits!"

Watching the fanatical expressions of the people around him, Chen Mo frowned even more deeply.

In this atmosphere, even if the court soldiers came, they might not be able to disperse this group of civilians.

Yu Zhe, surrounded by invisible Gang Qi, kept the Gu Poison Worms at bay. He squinted and said, "It seems they want to play openly. Why don't we just take action?"

"There are about a thousand civilians in this Daoist Temple. If we fight, the casualties could be severe," Chen Mo shook his head and said.

"Our primary mission is to eradicate the Gu God Sect, and some sacrifices are normal in the process. Moreover, if we delay further, more people will be infected," Yu Zhe said indifferently. "When faced with two harms, choose the lesser. In my opinion, we should quickly cut through the mess and not give the Demon Sect any chance to exploit."

The Xuan Armor Guard only had the Emperor's orders in their eyes. Completing the mission was the priority.

As for the lives of ordinary civilians, they never considered them.

Chen Mo was noncommittal. After a slight pause, he said, "We haven't figured out the details of the Gu God Sect yet. I feel there's a bigger conspiracy brewing behind this. Let's scout around first before making a decision."

Hearing this, Yu Zhe said nothing more and nodded, "I'll listen to Mr. Chen's arrangements."

The two of them squeezed through the crowded masses and walked towards the interior of the Daoist Temple.

On the altar, the old Taoist kept his head down, reciting scriptures with a faint, imperceptible sinister smile on his lips.

The entire Purple Cloud Temple was quite large, with pine and bamboo planted between courtyards, black artificial hills, and white ponds forming a yin-yang pattern, giving a sense of "yin and yang complement each other."

Unlike other Daoist Temples enshrining the Three Pure Ones and Jade Emperor, there were only two main halls in Purple Cloud Temple.

The main hall naturally enshrined the "True Martial God," while the side hall was dedicated to a deity named "Lady Zhao Hua."

It was said that this Empress was the Dao Companion of the True Martial God, extremely effective in prayers for children.
