Chapter 681: Chapter 681

Seeing the halos behind those ten people, the entire square erupted into excitement, with everyone believing it to be a divine miracle.

Even the sisters, Milly and Mina, standing beside Lin Chen, had excited expressions on their faces.

With a slight squint of his eyes, Lin Chen, using the Tianyan Divine Sight, could clearly see that there were no so-called halos behind those ten people.

This fellow named Toma was actually using Illusion Technique to make people see these false images.

Amidst the applause, Toma waved his hand.

At that moment, a boy ran onto the stage with a dead puppy in his arms, pleading for Toma to heal it.

With a faint smile, Toma placed his hand on the body of the deceased puppy.

A bizarre golden light shone on the puppy, and miraculously, the little dog came back to life.

"My God, this is incredible."

"Hierarch Toma is a divine being incarnate!"

A commotion arose from the crowd.

Milly grabbed Lin Chen's arm excitedly and exclaimed, "Lin Chen, did you see that? Hierarch brought the puppy back to life."

A cold smile crossed Lin Chen's lips, and he couldn't help but laugh to himself.

This was nothing but a very simple magic trick; the puppy wasn't dead at all but merely stunned by an anesthetic.

And this so-called Hierarch Toma had simply placed an antidote near the puppy's nose for it to inhale.

Actually, this performance had no technical content, yet it had easily deceived everyone.

Afterward, Toma performed several magic-like divine techniques, which, in Lin Chen's eyes, were very clumsy performances, yet they had the local populace completely fooled.

At this time, the ten individuals proclaimed to have met the standards to enter the temple boarded a Mercedes-Benz car and drove into the distance.

Everyone watched the direction of the departing car with envy on their faces.

Lin Chen sent the car's license plate number to Xu Jiayi, and soon, Xu Jiayi sent back the information—the license plate was fake.

Lin Chen's eyes narrowed: "There's definitely something off about this car."

"Has anyone who was taken to the temple ever returned?" Lin Chen asked.

Milly shook her head: "Once they enter the temple, how could they possibly return?"

Lin Chen watched the direction in which the car had disappeared, a cold glint in his eyes.

After the ceremony, Milly went to the church and brought Lin Chen to a medical examination area, saying, "Mr. Matthew, this gentleman wishes to follow God's call and join our Black Hymn Sect."

Matthew said to Lin Chen, "Please come in, sir. We need to conduct a medical examination on you."

Lin Chen nodded and followed Matthew into the examination room.

Meanwhile, inside the church, Toma watched Lin Chen on the surveillance screens with an icy gaze and said to the woman, "Thank you, Miss Pan La, if it weren't for your reminder, this guy would have slipped into the Black Hymn Sect."

Pan La snorted coldly: "The Sect Hierarch has great expectations for you, I hope you won't disappoint him."

"Don't worry, I won't. I'm going to arrange for someone to take care of this guy right away," Toma said coldly.

As he spoke, he pressed a doorbell, and a burly man walked in.

"Hierarch, did you summon me for something?" The man bowed deeply to Toma and spoke very respectfully.

Toma said, "God has just told me that an evil fellow has infiltrated our town. You must find a way to eliminate him, Kumba, and safeguard the town's security."

"What? An evil person?" On hearing Toma's words, Kumba's gaze turned frosty.

"If we don't eradicate him, this person will bring disaster to our town. For the safety of our town, go and fight, my child!" Toma spoke gravely.

Kunba's eyes revealed a trace of coldness as he deeply bowed to Tomas, "To battle for the Lord God."

Having said that, Kunba turned around and left the room.

Pan La watched Kunba leave and sneered coldly, "You don't actually believe that with their help, you can kill that guy? He's an alien after all!"

Tomas let out a cold laugh, "Rest assured, my methods are not limited to this. I'll personally eradicate him."

Lin Chen entered the physical examination room, first measured his height and weight, and then had a small tube of blood drawn.

When Lin Chen's blood was placed into the instrument, Mathew was stunned, "How is this possible, this person's blood is actually the legendary premium S-grade!"

Just then, several muscular middle-aged men walked in, each holding a handgun.

After the men entered, they didn't speak a word; they just picked up their handguns and began firing at Lin Chen.

Accompanied by a burst of gunfire, Mathew was frightened stiff.

However, when their gaze shifted to where Lin Chen had just been standing, they were instantly dumbfounded.

The wall where Lin Chen had stood was now riddled with bullet holes, yet Lin Chen had disappeared.

"How is this possible!" Kunba and the others focused their gaze.

Then, a cold voice came from behind them, "You guys are really not polite; not even a greeting, just shooting on sight."

Kunba snorted coldly and ordered the henchmen, "Go, kill him."

However, before his words fell, Lin Chen had already appeared in front of him.

A powerful punch landed heavily on Kunba's chest.

Kunba's body flew backward and smashed heavily against the wall.

The other men's faces changed drastically as they all aimed their guns at Lin Chen.

However, before they could pull the triggers, Lin Chen had already made his move.

In the blink of an eye, the four henchmen were kicked away by Lin Chen.

At that moment, hearing the sound of gunfire, Milly and Mina, the two sisters, ran in.

Seeing the people moaning on the ground, both were stunned, "What, what happened here?"

Lin Chen sneered coldly, "It seems that the Sect Hierarch doesn't welcome me after all; he's sent people to kill me."

"This, how is that possible!" Milly was frozen in shock.

Lin Chen said indifferently, "You've all been deceived by Tomas, what spokesperson of God? He is clearly a big fraudster."

"Do you think those taken away by them have really been sent to the temple? They have merely been transported by Tomas to become experimental subjects," Lin Chen said coldly.

"This, impossible, how could Sect Hierarch Tomas do such a thing?" Milly and Mina both showed expressions of disbelief.

Lin Chen said indifferently, "Resurrection from death, that's just impossible. If it were possible, do you think those deceased billionaires and heads of state are fools? Why don't they resurrect their ancestors? The life and death of a person are the laws of life, which cannot be violated, understand?"

Milly and Mina were momentarily stunned after listening to Lin Chen's words.

It was as the saying goes, a word to the wise is sufficient. They had always regarded Tomas as a deity, so they never doubted his words.

"But I've seen with my own eyes how he brought a small dog back to life, and he's revived many animals before," said Milly earnestly.

Lin Chen smiled faintly, "Let me ask you one question, have you ever seen the people who let him treat animals onstage around town? They are nothing but shills."

Having said that, Lin Chen turned and walked towards the church, "I'm going to expose this fraudster right now and let you see his true face."
