I started by slashing through the enemy's territory, and I drew so many affixes that my hands w

Jiang Qin vanished from his spot and reappeared a hundred meters away, glancing down at his pierced chest.

Recovery has slowed down.

The white-robed man seemed to possess some kind of power that could restrain his regenerative abilities.

Even the [Mysterious Serpent's Return] was suppressed. If an ordinary Divine Phase Realm or even Earth Martial Realm martial artist encountered such an opponent, how passive would they be? Once they were caught getting close or injured, the battle would be over.

However, Jiang Qin also noticed some of the other party's characteristics.

He touched his chest, which had returned to normal, and suddenly spoke:

"He shouldn't be able to use domains or dharma forms, right? Or perhaps, he can't even use spiritual power."

Otherwise, he would have already lost during the exchange of blows.

The other party had no reason to show him mercy.

He didn't think that the Holy Church leader would be lenient just because he had unintentionally helped her once.

Xu Yanran clapped her hands: "Commander Jiang is smart. Ah Da and Ah Er really can't use spiritual power. I didn't expect you to discover it in one move. However... there are still many magical things in this world. You don't even understand this fake world, let alone the real world."

"If we don't leave now, those old fogies in the church won't be soft-hearted."

"Or... do you fancy someone and want to find a place to have some fun with me? If it's someone like Commander Jiang, a dragon among men, then it's not impossible for me."

As she spoke, she lightly lifted her skirt, revealing her fair and delicate thighs.

That look in her eyes seemed to suggest she genuinely wanted a passionate and intense entanglement with Jiang Qin.

Jiang Qin gave her a deep look, then turned and left the Holy City.

Besides having a general idea of ​​the Holy Church's strength, he was certain that the current Holy Church was fundamentally different from the previous pantheon.

One that possesses its own will.

One who disregards everything to accomplish the goal set forth by the gods.

The former is often more dangerous.

After Jiang Qin left, Xu Yanran's smile faded, and she regained her composure, glancing at the ruins of a house in the distance.

Ah Er behind him slowly looked toward the ruins.

Without the slightest hesitation, Xu Ling and the other two immediately used their secret techniques to escape at their fastest speed, without any intention of fighting, unless they wanted to die.

...

In the blink of an eye, another three days have passed.

Outside the gates of the capital city.

Unlike other base cities, as the core of China, the walls of the Imperial Capital are made of metal and equipped with the most advanced weapons. Ferocious beasts below the Divine Realm cannot even get close to it, let alone attack it.

At this moment, outside the city gate, an elderly man with a straight posture and a graceful young woman were gazing into the distance.

What are they waiting for?

Also waiting was an acquaintance of Jiang Qin.

Sensing something, Butler Jiang looked in a certain direction.

"They're here."

An aura was rapidly approaching, arriving outside the capital city in the blink of an eye.

The young man's expression was unusually calm, and with each step he took, his body would move hundreds of meters forward.

Upon seeing this, the soldiers on the city wall instinctively reached for their weapons.

Cao Hai waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, they're our own people. Our commander has arrived."

Commander?

The soldiers were all stunned. They had heard of this commander's name before, but they never expected him to be so young.

The Commander is a position established above the Director of the Spirit Suppression Bureau Headquarters.

There is no clear distinction between the two.

If I had to categorize him, he would be a military general and a civil official.

The two complement each other and also check each other, which is also Yue Beishan's instruction.

"Young Master."

"elder brother!"

As the young man approached, Butler Jiang bowed slightly and smiled.

Jiang Hanhan, standing beside him, also looked very happy.

When the disaster struck, her parents led a group of high-ranking officials to the frontier and did not return for two years. In the vast Jiang family mansion, she could only rely on Butler Jiang.

Now, there's one more.

Butler Jiang noticed that Jiang Qin's clothes still had bloodstains, so he cast a questioning look at him.

Jiang Qin gave a calm smile: "I died once two years ago, and my spatial ring was destroyed. I got lost on the way here, went to the Holy City to find someone and got into a fight. I got a hole in my chest, it's just a minor injury."

With the spatial ring destroyed, spare clothes and resources were all gone.

However, there's no need to feel bad about it, since there's nothing particularly precious about it anyway, and he can't use the cultivation resources he had before.

The crowd looked at each other, wondering if this was even human language.

You call a minor injury a hole in your chest?

They even got lost and ended up in the Holy City where they got into a fight.

The Holy City can still exist because the headquarters does not have enough combat power to deal with the Holy Church. This guy actually broke into the Holy City by himself and came to the capital alive as if nothing had happened.

Just as rumored, he is a complete freak!

Jiang Qin then turned his gaze to Cao Hai, who was standing to the side.

"I didn't expect you to be in the capital. You seem to hold a high position, which is quite a surprise to me."

"Hehe, I can't escape my connection with you in the capital," Cao Hai said with a wry smile.

He quickly explained the situation.

After the disaster struck, the unique terrain of Hanyue City, coupled with the harsh weather, meant that there were not many ferocious beasts. With Cao Hai's abilities, it would not have been difficult for him to lead the warriors of Hanyue City to protect the city. However, he received a mission from Yue Beishan to save the city in a time of crisis.

Given Yue Beishan's situation at the time, it was impossible for him to test which subordinate was more reliable.

So he chose the simplest approach.

Now that we can confirm that Jiang Qin is not dead, let's think from Jiang Qin's perspective: what kind of person would be most suitable for him?

Therefore, Cao Hai, who had partnered with Jiang Qin before and had extensive experience, was selected.

Yue Beishan trusted Jiang Qin and also trusted Cao Hai.

If Cao Hai had any problems, he would have died long ago; since he's still alive, it means he's fine and can be used.

And so.

Cao Hai, who was originally just the director of the Town Spirit Bureau in Hanyue Town, suddenly rose to become the director of the Town Spirit Bureau headquarters.

Cao Hai glanced at the time and smiled:

"Let's talk about business later. You've come all the way to the capital, you should get some rest. I just heard you were coming and came to say hello. I have a lot of things to do, so I won't bother you any longer."

After exchanging a few words, he wisely turned and left with his men.

According to the information he received, although Jiang Qin was a member of the Jiang family in the capital, he had never been to the capital before. If the headquarters of Zhenling had not moved to the capital, he would not know when he would come to the capital.

If he bothers him any further at this point, he would be being tactless.

Watching the departing figure, Butler Jiang exclaimed, "This Director Cao is indeed very capable. In some ways, the capital is more dangerous than other places, yet he is able to balance various forces through his checks and balances. It's a pity... his only weakness is that he's a bit weak, only at the Spirit Sea Realm."

There was no malice in those words.

In the eyes of the major martial arts families in the capital, a Spirit Sea Realm cultivator is only fit to be a gatekeeper.

Cao Hai, however, was able to stabilize the situation for two years with his Spirit Sea Realm strength, which shows that his methods were very profound.

"Stop talking about that, let's go, bro, I'll take you home first!"
