I loaded the innate divine power.

Nanyang Prefecture.

Berlin County.

This is a large county with a population of hundreds of thousands. Looking at the dozens of counties in Nanyang, it is considered one of the top-ranking large county towns.

It was exceptionally bustling.

Even at night, it is still brightly lit.

The bright moon hangs high in the sky, adorned with countless stars.

The soft starlight and moonlight shone on the earth.

Outside Berlin, on the edge of a cliff hundreds of meters high, three figures stood, gazing at the distant, brightly lit cityscape.

"It is indeed prosperous, but it is not even on the same level as Qingshan County."

Gazing at the night view of Berlin County, Shen Yi sighed inwardly.

In the eyes of Zoroastrianism, such a prosperous county was a huge piece of meat.

Compared to the several strongholds lost previously, the importance of this stronghold is self-evident.

The outpost in Berlin County served as the central hub for several outposts.

It not only concerns the control of Berlin County, but also has a considerable influence on several strongholds in the surrounding counties.

The loss of this stronghold would be a greater loss for the Zoroastrian Church than the loss of several other strongholds.

In a normal outpost, there is only one deacon in charge, but Berlin County is different.

One chief deacon and two deputy deacons!

Three stewards at the Marrow Cleansing Realm were stationed there!

Previously, the stronghold in Chang County was breached by the two major sects, and the stronghold in Bailin County took in a group of people. However, it was precisely because of this that the stronghold was targeted by the two major sects.

This mission, dealing with people from two major sects, is very stressful.

However, once the mission is completed, the contribution will not be small.

The bigger the storm, the greater the opportunity!

After three days of frantic driving, they finally arrived at their destination.

Now, we've arrived at the agreed meeting place.

Standing on the edge of the cliff, gazing at the night view of Berlin County, a few moments later, a soft sound of footsteps could be heard.

Shen Yi and the other two had very strong senses and quickly caught on.

In the darkness of night, three figures approached them.

They soon arrived at the cliff.

A total of four people.

The leader was a middle-aged man with a goatee, dressed in a blue brocade robe.

Three people followed behind him.

Even in the darkness of night, with the eyesight of someone at the Marrow Cleansing Realm, they could see through it at a glance.

"Um?"

"It's him!"

"What a coincidence?"

Shen Yi glanced around and saw one of them, and was taken aback.

This person is none other than [someone else].

It was Xu Bo, the former magistrate of Qingshan County!

The last time we met was in Changxian County, at Guoshanfeng.

The stronghold in Chang County was annihilated by the two major sects, and some of the people escaped to the stronghold in Bailin County.

But he didn't expect that there would be acquaintances among them.

"Shen...Shen Yi!?"

Among the four, Xu Bo also spotted Shen Yi, and his pupils constricted involuntarily.

Upon receiving the order, the main sect dispatched three elite disciples at the Marrow Cleansing Realm to provide assistance.

What's Shen Yi doing here?

Could it be that he has reached the Marrow Cleansing Realm?!

How...how is this possible?

How long has it been?!

Even if he knew that Shen Yi practiced strange arts, it was still not this outrageous.

While supernatural abilities can indeed rapidly enhance one's strength, nothing is this abnormal.

To cross such a distance in just one or two months is simply unbelievable.

He stood there, looking at Shen Yi among the three, his heart still reeling.

He was once just the lowest-ranking disciple under my command, but now his cultivation has risen to the Marrow Cleansing Realm.

He felt like he was dreaming.

Magical!

So magical!

At this moment, the middle-aged man with a goatee who was leading the group stepped forward, smiling and cupping his hands in greeting: "I am Zhou Qian from Berlin County, and I respectfully welcome the three elites of the Grand Master."

"You're too kind, Steward Zhou."

Xu Qing, representing the two, returned the greeting with a smile.

Then, Zhou Qian introduced the people behind him.

"This is Tie Yuan, the deputy deacon of my Berlin County." A burly man then cupped his hands in greeting, "Tie Yuan greets the three of you."

"This is Jiang Hao, another deputy deacon of my Berlin County."

Another middle-aged man with a somewhat refined demeanor also bowed.

"As for this person... he was previously a deacon in Chang County, and is now the deputy deacon of my Bailin County, Xu Bo."

Hearing Zhou Qian's introduction, Xu Bo had no choice but to suppress his shock and step forward to pay his respects.

"Steward Xu, we meet again." Shen Yi naturally wouldn't ignore him and greeted him with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qian was taken aback, and the other two stewards also paused for a moment, looking at Xu Bo with some surprise in their eyes.

Xu Bo looked at Shen Yi, forced a smile, and cupped his hands in greeting: "Yes, I didn't expect to meet you again. Greetings, Brother Shen."

The elite core members of the Marrow Cleansing Realm are of equal status, while the disciples of the main sect are slightly higher.

"Brother Shen, do you know him?"

Ji Boda and Xu Qing also looked at Shen Yi with surprise.

Shen Yi nodded slightly: "I know him. Before I joined the main sect, I worked for Deacon Xu."

"..."

What a coincidence!

Both of them felt a pang in their hearts.

They all knew that Shen Yi was brought back by Bai Suzhen from an outside stronghold, but they didn't expect to run into him here.

This fate is truly wonderful!

"Xu Qing, Biyang Peak!" At this moment, Xu Qing took the lead in introducing herself.

"Ji Boda, Biyang Peak!" Ji Boda also introduced himself.

Shen Yi followed closely behind, smiling as he spoke, "Shen Yi, Sacred Flame Peak!"

"Sacred...Sacred Flame Peak!?"

When Shen Yi announced his name, Zhou Qian and the others looked at him in disbelief.

The Sacred Flame Peak represents the identity of one of the two holy envoys of the Zoroastrian Church.

Even though they rarely went to the main church, they still knew about its situation.

There are no disciples at Sacred Flame Peak.

This identification signifies that they are disciples of the White Saint Envoy.

This holy envoy has never taken on any disciples before. When did he start taking on disciples?

Seeing the astonished expressions on their faces, Xu Qing spoke first: "You may not know this, but Shen Yi is currently the only disciple of Sacred Flame Peak. He is highly regarded by the White Saint Envoy. He joined Sacred Flame Peak just over a month ago and has already advanced from the Yi Jin cultivation to the Xi Sui realm. He is the chief disciple of Sacred Flame Peak."

hiss!

I boil!

Is it really that amazing?!

After listening to Xu Qing's introduction, Zhou Qian and the others couldn't help but curse under their breath.

In just over a month, he went from the Yi Jin Jing to the Xi Sui Jing—what kind of monstrous genius is this?!

I spent decades cultivating myself to reach this point with great difficulty; this potential is on a completely different level.

Looking at Shen Yi, Zhou Qian and the others all became respectful.

Chief disciple of Sacred Flame Peak!

Breaking through from the Yi Jin Jing to the Xi Sui Jing in just over a month is something that cannot be compared to anything else.

If nothing unexpected happens, it seems that the Holy Church will soon produce its thirteenth Holy Son.

The Holy Son is a powerful expert in Dan Jin martial arts.

With such a terrifying improvement, they had no doubt that Shen Yi might break through and become a Holy Son in the future.

It's almost a done deal.

"So you're the chief disciple of Sacred Flame Peak. My apologies for my rudeness. Greetings, Chief Shen."

Zhou Qian spoke first, smiling and cupping his hands in greeting.

"Greetings, Chief Shen!"

Behind him, several people bowed and paid their respects in unison.

The way the address was subtly changed, so smooth and seamless!

Shen Yi: "..."

"This woman is deliberately drawing attention to me. Damn it, she's definitely trying to get me to do more work."

Shen Yi remained expressionless, but he sensed something was amiss.

Praise to death!

This is blatant attempt to kill with praise!

These elite disciples are not only strong, but also incredibly cunning.

However, the elites who survived the demonic sect's battlefield were certainly not pushovers.

However, this is also a fact; it's a case of praising someone to death, and he can't find a reason to refute it.

Suppressing his thoughts, Shen Yi remained expressionless and returned the greeting with clasped hands:

"I'm here on a mission, so there's no need to be so polite."

Zhou Qian smiled and looked at the three of them: "Chief Shen, you two elites, this is not the place to talk. Please go to your accommodations nearby to rest first."

The three nodded and then left, disappearing over the cliff.
