In less than an hour, Qin Shilei and his group arrived near Ram City.
According to Dark Night's reconnaissance, Ram City had a population of nearly 300,000, and no Golden Masters had been discovered so far.
Fearing Shiva's attack, Qin Shilei had specifically instructed Mu Ziping and the others to only investigate the gathering place of the Indian survivors and not to enter the city to inquire about the temple.
Therefore, Qin Shilei was currently unaware of the specific location of the temple in Ram City.
However, this posed no difficulty for him, who possessed the Purple Eyes of Piercing Illusion.
He casually stopped an Indian person coming out of the city and within a minute, he had ascertained the approximate location of the temple.
"You all wait here. I'll go into the city and destroy the temple first."
After speaking, Qin Shilei flew into the city.
He searched as he flew and soon arrived above the temple.
"May I ask how to address Your Excellency, and what is the purpose of your visit to the temple?"
As soon as he stopped above the temple, he immediately alerted the temple personnel.
Qin Shilei had no intention of wasting words with them. With a flash, he immediately flew into the temple.
He saw the towering statue, over two meters tall, inside the temple. It was not Shiva's image, but rather resembled another major deity of India—Brahma.
Qin Shilei frowned but unhesitatingly raised his sword and swung it at the statue.
*Boom!*
A cold light flashed, and the statue was split in two.
At this moment, the divine officials and believers inside the temple finally noticed the Easterner, Qin Shilei, who had suddenly appeared and destroyed the statue.
"How dare you blaspheme against the gods? You court death!"
They cursed and drew their weapons, charging at Qin Shilei.
Qin Shilei waved his hand casually, summoning his phantom, and secretly commanded in his heart, "Go, eliminate them!"
The phantom moved, charging towards the people around him.
In less than five seconds, the grand hall became eerily silent again. The evolutionary beings who had been shouting and roaring just moments ago now lay on the ground as corpses.
Qin Shilei had also blasted nearly ten shrines, large and small, within the hall into dust.
"It seems that even the gods cannot easily descend to Blue Star through their statues."
Qin Shilei murmured to himself.
He let out a long cry, then summoned Vajra again, and commanded, "Go and raze the entire temple to the ground."
Since Shiva was no longer a threat, he naturally had to utilize Vajra, a more specialized helper, for demolition.
Vajra, upon appearing, directly punched a large hole through the roof of the hall it was in.
"Roar!"
Vajra roared and raised its club, sweeping it horizontally, demolishing half of the hall it was in.
Countless evolutionary beings who heard the commotion and rushed over watched in horror as the Vajra demon ape, like an overlord, stood before them. They dared not take a step forward.
Qin Shilei showed no mercy to the temple's divine officials and believers, secretly instructing his phantom to kill them all without leaving a single one.
Three minutes later, the entire temple had been razed to the ground by Vajra.
Evolutionary beings living nearby either fled in panic or gathered around fearfully.
Even at this point, no Golden Master had appeared.
"Damn Easterner, why did you destroy our temple?" a fanatical believer shouted.
If his friends hadn't held him back, he would have charged forward to fight Qin Shilei to the death.
Qin Shilei ignored him, scanned his surroundings, and suddenly saw a large group of evolutionary beings charging furiously from afar.
However, as soon as they saw the intimidating Vajra, they stopped in their tracks, their faces filled with terror. Some even turned to flee into the distance.
Qin Shilei flashed forward to the front of the group and asked in a deep voice, "Who is the lord of this city? Step forward and speak."
A young man in his early twenties, from the middle of the crowd, swallowed hard and replied, "I am the City Lord, Arnold. May I know your command, Your Excellency?"
Before Qin Shilei could speak, people around immediately shouted, "City Lord, it was this person who destroyed our temple. Such a blasphemer deserves a holy war, uniting everyone's strength to send him to hell to repent before our god!"
The man's proposal was immediately echoed by countless fanatical believers, "Blasphemers, die!"
Hearing the frenzied shouts from all around, Arnold's face changed drastically.
He cursed inwardly, "Damn it, why didn't you guys, you damned fools, charge forward and die before I arrived? Are you trying to get me killed?"
Qin Shilei's expression turned cold, and he turned to scan the dozen or so people who were shouting the loudest.
With a thought, the phantom transformed into an ethereal shadow and lunged at the fanatical believers.
A cold glint flashed, and heads, large and small, flew into the sky.
In an instant, absolute silence descended.
Qin Shilei said coldly, "The evil god Shiva incited believers to attack Great Xia and committed heinous crimes. I, Qin Anwang, have come for revenge and vow to eradicate all evil gods in India. From this day forward, this city is under my control."
Arnold's face changed, and he said cautiously, "Your Excellency King Qin An, the one who offended you was Shiva, and we worship Lord Brahma. Have you mistaken your target?"
"I only intended to punish Shiva," Qin Shilei said with a stern face. "However, as soon as I set foot here, I was fiercely attacked by a clone of Brahma. It seems Brahma has become Shiva's accomplice and has also been added to my list of targets.
Will you surrender or die!"
As soon as he spoke, he was immediately met with condemnation and denunciation from the crowd.
"This is blatant aggression!"
"I think he clearly has his eyes on our prosperous land and also intends to blaspheme the sacred Brahma that we hold dear."
"We have worshipped Brahma for decades, and we have never seen a clone of Brahma descend. This is clearly nonsense."
"We are noble Indians, and we will never surrender to anyone."
"Although Qin Shilei is the number one person on Blue Star, he is only one person. As long as everyone unites, we can definitely defeat the invaders!"
Just as the last person finished speaking, a large group of people suddenly flew in from a distance.
"Greetings, my King! Dark Night's three hundred and one members are here to receive your orders. If His Highness commands, your subordinates will surely slaughter Ram City until its rivers flow with blood, leaving no one alive!"
The members of Dark Night landed solemnly before Qin Shilei. The killing intent revealed by Mu Ziping made the surrounding survivors shudder and break out in a cold sweat.
Qin Shilei said indifferently, "Let's go to the City Lord's mansion. Anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy!"
He thought to himself, *Hmph, I've always found these guys annoying. If they dare to resist, it's a good chance to temper Dark Night's courage.*
Arnold's face changed repeatedly, but he still did not dare to speak in resistance. Instead, he somewhat obsequiously walked ahead, leading the way for Qin Shilei.
As they walked towards the City Lord's mansion, a few fanatical believers who had just learned that the temple had been destroyed impulsively charged at Qin Shilei and his group.
However, these few people were easily slain by the members of Dark Night before they could even approach Qin Shilei.
Qin Shilei left five members of Dark Night to guard the city, and then flew with An Qian and the others towards the next city.
By the time the main army arrived at Ram City later, the entire city had completely fallen into the possession of the Qin Anwang Estate.
