My profession is too unique.

Chapter 65 Is Su Chen a follower of the Ghost God? (Seeking monthly votes!)
boom!
The cyan iron whip collided with the lightning, and the compressed wind element suddenly burst forth, creating a raging storm that cut like a wind blade. The person standing next to Zhou Xian was instantly cut into several pieces.

But Su Chen was only a second-tier professional after all. The blazing lightning spread out and slammed into Su Chen, as if he had been hit head-on by a truck. The enormous force sent him flying backward.

But Zhou Xian's expression suddenly changed drastically. The guy who had taken his blow head-on did not fall to the ground. Instead, he used the force of the recoil to fly far away like a leaf falling.

In the blink of an eye, it vanished without a trace.

The person got away!?
.........

"Even a small operation has been leaked. I think a major purge is indeed necessary."

In the council chamber, Xia Hanshi's slender figure sat in the main seat, with Zhang Hongbo to his right and Yang Yan and a few others to his left.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Hongbo broke out in a cold sweat and explained, "The fact that the news was leaked at the last moment of the operation doesn't necessarily mean there's an internal problem."

"Even if there is an inside traitor, he's just a small fry, and we can find out quickly."

Yang Yan then tried to smooth things over, saying, "At least it's a hideout. The work done in Nanfeng City these past few days hasn't been in vain."

"What's the use of killing more kittens if there are only a few? If we don't get to the root of the problem, it will reappear sooner or later." Xia Hanshi's tone was unfriendly, but he wasn't aggressive.

Yang Yan glanced at Zhang Hongbo discreetly. According to Elder Xia's habits, he had probably already visited Nanfeng City by now.

Whether Zhang Hongbo was genuinely benevolent or simply acting on Ying Feng's orders, the lives of the refugees in Nanfeng City were relatively good.

The Lord of Nanfeng City probably didn't even know that those refugees had already done him a great favor.

He remembered the last time, in another city, the city lord didn't even bother to ask about the refugees below.

Not long after Xia Lao arrived at the place, he found a pretext and broke both of the city lord's legs.

"What kind of person is Yuan Chenyang?" Xia Hanshi suddenly asked.

Zhang Hongbo was somewhat surprised. After a moment's thought, he said sincerely, "Although it was a bit reckless, it was diligent and conscientious."

"Reckless?" A glint flashed in Xia Hanshi's eyes. "If that's the case, why would you think of sending your student to infiltrate?"

Zhang Hong was puzzled, so he explained, "He's just a bit impulsive, but he's quick-witted."

He was also skeptical about the matter, but he couldn't possibly expose Yuan Chenyang's misdeeds.

Where did those top-tier professions come from...? Xia Hanshi was annoyed. These guys were so secretive in their speech; he really wanted to rip their heads off.

"How are his students?" Xia Hanshi asked casually.

Zhang Hongbo paused, as if he had thought of something, and said in a calm tone, "You mean Su Chen? Yes, he has a very good Silver-level physical body, but he is relatively young and will not go to Yingfeng until next year."

Su Chen? It seems he's one of the people who borrowed [the book].

Xia Hanshi smiled enigmatically: "Yuan Chenyang couldn't beat you?"

"You are wise to see the truth," Zhang Hongbo said with a wry smile.

Xia Hanshi didn't care, while Yang Yan, standing beside him, lowered his head and sighed inwardly.

None of these city lords are easy to deal with. Zhang Hongbo concealed a crucial piece of information: Su Chen's identity as a refugee.

Old Xia himself is a refugee. If he learns of Su Chen's identity and decides to help him, he might deprive Zhang Hengyu of this opportunity to go to Yingfeng.

Even though Zhang Hongbo didn't know much about Xia Lao, he still instinctively and astutely avoided this point.

Perhaps even Xia Lao wouldn't have imagined that Yuan Chenyang would take a refugee as a student.

As for whether he should bring it up, Yang Yan thought about it. They were both Silver-level, so it didn't matter to him who went to Yingfeng first. There was no need to offend Zhang Hongbo.

"Investigate carefully. The waters of Nanfeng City are deeper than I expected," Xia Hanshi said quietly. "There really is a large creature beneath the surface, but I don't know why it's here." What does that mean?
Zhang Hongbo and Yang Yan exchanged a glance, their expressions filled with surprise and uncertainty.

……

"The sacred artifact is lost..." The priest's tone was low and menacing. Zhou Xian, standing in front of him, felt a chill run down his spine. He said in a deep voice, "I only relaxed my guard after you were sure your man was alright."

“The believers are all dead, so you’re the one in charge now.” The priest stared at him with his dark pupils.

Zhou Xian was shocked and furious, and said coldly, "That's the truth. How can you believe me?"

"Believe in our Lord," the priest uttered.

Zhou Xian immediately shook his head and insisted, "We made an agreement back then."

The priest suddenly stood up, and Zhou Xian's heart tightened. But then he saw the priest abruptly turn his head to look in a certain direction, his expression changing drastically: "My lord's aura has vanished!"

"What do you mean?" Zhou Xian couldn't help but ask.

"The sacred artifact is empty." The priest frowned. "It should be the same as last time."

Zhou Xian paused, his expression suddenly changing. Yuan Chenyang was still guarding the ruins, not him?

Who is that? Someone connected to Qi Chuan's death...

A figure appeared out of nowhere—could it be… Su Chen?
Yes, the figure at the alley entrance had seemed familiar to him, and now that he thought about it, it did indeed resemble Su Chen somewhat.

Zhou Xian grew increasingly shocked and furious, firstly because the other party had actually managed to escape from his grasp.

Secondly, it was because Su Chen appeared in front of him, but he was unable to stay.

Could someone who can disguise himself as a follower of our Lord be a follower of the Faceless Demon?

The priest's face twisted as he thought to himself, "There's another group of cultists in Nanfeng City who dare to devour my lord's power. They're courting death!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xian suddenly awoke, his anger growing even stronger.

The priest had already suspected him beforehand; he didn't actually believe him, but merely coerced him into believing in the Black Buddha.

But he also gleaned another crucial piece of information: Su Chen might also be a follower of the Ghost God.

No wonder a refugee could rise so quickly; if he were a follower of a cult, then it would make sense.

"Could the person who made the move today be that so-called 'delicious soul'?" he asked tentatively.

“Impossible…” the priest replied absolutely. “The followers of the evil god are not pure and will not be called delicious by our lord.”

It wasn't Su Chen... Zhou Xian was immediately disappointed, and thought to himself, "However, since that's the case, perhaps we can use this to find out if Yuan Chenyang is the 'Delicious Soul' first."

……

"Cough...cough..." Su Chen closed the window, still feeling dizzy and with a metallic taste in his mouth. Even a heavily injured third-tier professional was not someone he could easily deal with.

"Luckily I had this scale armor, otherwise he would have killed me on the spot." Su Chen pulled open his clothes, and several of the blue scales that were attached to his skin were dented and burning with pain.

"Well, at least it wasn't a complete waste of time." Su Chen looked at the [Low-Tier Ghost God Power] on the panel.

On his way here, he took the opportunity to extract the power from the [devious artifact] to prevent anyone in the surveillance department from noticing.

"Perfect timing, the Arcane Scholar is about to take up his post." Su Chen thought for a moment, then handed the newly acquired treasure to the Arcane Scholar.

[The arcane scholar, influenced by the power of the demon god, has developed an insatiable thirst for knowledge and desires to devour a high-level second-tier mental cultivation skill in order to advance to a top-tier profession.]
