I loaded the innate divine power.

"Brother Shen, you're too kind."

The leader stepped forward with a hearty laugh and returned the greeting with clasped hands.

Although we don't know Shen Yi's current cultivation level, such a powerful aura indicates that he must be a master of the Yi Jin Jing (Muscle/Tendon Changing Technique).

Although he didn't understand why a White Lotus disciple had such amazing cultivation, in the face of strength, nothing else mattered.

The head of the gang stepped forward and sat down next to Shen Yi. He glanced at the disciple surnamed Sun and then tactfully withdrew.

"Brother Shen, please have a seat," the leader said with a smile.

Shen Yi sat down next to him.

"Brother Shen is indeed extraordinary. He managed to escape from Qingshan County prison a month ago and the authorities couldn't track him down at all. That's no small feat."

The leader looked at him and sighed.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yi was not surprised.

After all, escaping from prison and killing so many government officials was no small feat.

Chang County is not far from Qingshan County, so it's not surprising that they knew about it given the Zoroastrian information channels.

He looked at the leader in front of him and sighed, "You flatter me, leader. I, Shen, barely escaped with my life on the line."

"Now that we can't return to Qingshan and the situation has escalated so much, we're afraid our future will be very difficult. I hope the leader can lend a hand. I still want to contribute my strength to the Holy Sect and shine brightly."

The leader chuckled and said, "Brother Shen, are you worried about being hunted down by the imperial court? Don't worry, brother. With the Holy Envoy protecting you from now on, you can rest easy."

"The Holy Envoy!?"

Upon hearing the leader speak, Shen Yi's pupils contracted, and a wave of shock surged through his heart.

Zoroastrian Holy Messenger!

That's one of the highest-ranking members of the Zoroastrian Church.

They belong to the elder level.

His true strength surpasses that of a martial arts master who has transcended the four levels of martial arts.

They are at least at the Dan Jin level!

Even looking at the entire Nanyang Prefecture, he would definitely be considered a martial arts expert.

The holy envoy is protecting him?

What does this mean?

How could a mere disciple of the White Lotus Sect receive special attention from the Holy Envoy?

"Boss, what do you mean by that?" Shen Yi asked the boss in front of him.

The leader chuckled: "Brother Shen, you don't know this yet, do you? The day after you successfully escaped from prison, the Holy Envoy was in Qingshan County. After learning about your deeds, the Holy Envoy ordered a full-scale search for your whereabouts."

"What a pity, Brother Shen's concealment skills are too high. No trace of him has been found in the surrounding counties of the Holy Sect."

"The Holy Envoy said that he would notify us immediately once there is any news, and it seems that the Holy Envoy is currently in Chang County. Brother Shen, perhaps you will be able to see the Holy Envoy soon."

"With the Holy Envoy protecting them, what can that corrupt Wei Dynasty do?"

"Brother Shen, there's no need to worry too much; good days are coming soon."

"What a coincidence!?"

Hearing the leader's words, Shen Yi was astonished.

He had planned to return to Zoroastrianism and establish himself there temporarily, but he never expected such a change to happen.

This was truly beyond his expectations.

"Brother Shen, are you pleasantly surprised?" The leader looked at him with a smile.

Shen Yi: "..."

It was indeed surprising, but as for whether it was a cause for celebration... that's not necessarily true.

Its appearance immediately attracted the attention of the Holy Envoy.

This commotion was truly beyond his expectations.

But since things have come to this... it seems that we must meet this holy envoy.

Currently, it is necessary to rely on the power of Zoroastrianism to establish a foothold and take root.

"I didn't expect to attract the attention of the Holy Envoy. This is quite an accident." Shen Yi pretended to be frightened and surprised.

The leader smiled and said, "Brother Shen, to be noticed by the Holy Envoy is no ordinary feat. You are destined for great things in the future. With your strength, you will surely have a place in the main sect."

"You flatter me, Boss." Shen Yi cupped his hands in greeting.

The leader looked at Shen Yi, then stood up: "Brother Shen, you... well, I'll have someone make arrangements. You pack your things, and I'll send a message to the Holy Envoy via carrier pigeon to report and await his response, how about that?"

Shen Yi also stood up and cupped his hands in thanks: "Thank you for your trouble, Chief."

"Not at all, we're all disciples of the Holy Sect, it's only right," the leader smiled.

He then clapped his hands, and the young man surnamed Sun who had left immediately entered the hall.

"Boss." The young man surnamed Sun bowed.

The leader looked at him and said, "Sun Hu, take Brother Shen to wash up, and have someone prepare a table of food and wine to welcome him back."

"Yes."

Sun Hu nodded, and Shen Yi didn't say anything more before following Sun Hu out of the hall.

The head of the gang immediately left the hall, picked up a pen and wrote a message, arranging for it to be delivered by carrier pigeon.

……

After thoroughly washing himself several times to remove all the grime, and changing into a brand-new black outfit, Shen Yi looked at his handsome and refined reflection in the bronze mirror, which gave him the air of a young master from a noble family.

"Holy Envoy..."

"I don't know what will happen next."

Shen Yi sat in the chair, head down in thought.

His original plan was to demonstrate his strength and establish himself within the Zoroastrian Church, but the appearance of the Holy Envoy disrupted his plans.

He wasn't worried about any other problems, but once the Holy Envoy had his eye on things, the subsequent changes would be unpredictable.

"Just go with the flow. Anyway, in Zoroastrianism, this day will come sooner or later, it's just a little sooner."

With a firm resolve, Shen Yi closed his eyes and focused on the intense Yang energy within his body.

Strength is the foundation of everything.

The Demonic Cult, the True One!

In his eyes, there was no difference.

Zoroastrianism prioritizes strength, although in the eyes of many high-ranking members, most people are merely the lowest-level "materials."

But as long as it has some "value", it is beneficial.

The Demonic Cult is a powerful backer.

When one's strength has not yet reached a certain level, the importance of having a powerful backer is self-evident.

What's more, he is currently a wanted criminal by the imperial court!

However, the Demonic Sect has always been opposed to the imperial court; it's just that it was previously operating in secret, but now it's become public.

However, these were not major problems for Shen Yi.

With the help of the Demonic Cult's resources, not to mention his other unknown talents, he has the ambition to dominate the world just by virtue of his godhood talent.

If he avoids their sharp edge now, he will not be afraid at all even if he confronts the entire Great Wei Dynasty in the future.

However, to reach the level of strength to face the entire Great Wei Dynasty, the distance is more than 108,000 miles.

……

In the suburbs of Chang County, deep within a quiet courtyard, a figure hurried over and arrived outside a quiet room.

"Your Majesty, we have news about the person you are looking for."

The middle-aged man stood respectfully at the door of the meditation room. As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the meditation room slowly opened.

A woman in red strolled out.

A pair of bright eyes looked at the middle-aged man in front of her: "Something's up?"

The middle-aged man nodded and immediately presented a slip of paper with both hands: "Sir, this is a message that just came in. This person is currently resting at the mountain peak. He looks very well and there is nothing unusual about him."

"Oh?" Upon hearing this, the woman in red's eyes lit up immediately.

She took the note and glanced at it, a smile involuntarily appearing on her face.

"It seems this person is indeed a talented individual."

The middle-aged man looked at her, bowing respectfully: "Your Majesty, should I send word to have Guo Shanfeng bring this person here?"

"No need." The woman in red shook her head. "There are too many people around right now. I've sent a message to Shanfeng, asking him to make proper arrangements. I will go there myself first thing tomorrow morning."

"Yes, ma'am." The middle-aged man nodded, then turned and left.

Watching the middle-aged man's departing figure, the woman in red looked up at the sky, a smile involuntarily curving her lips: "It's been a month. I thought this guy wouldn't be able to hold on, but I didn't expect him to still be alive. It seems he has temporarily withstood the backlash of the Golden Crow Body Tempering Technique, or he just hasn't encountered it yet... Hmm, I'll meet him in person when the time comes. If he's not bad, it would be a waste for him to stay here."
