The process of crossing the defense zone went much smoother than Chen Jian had anticipated. After clarifying their identities, the Holy Blood Temple, still in a cooperative relationship with the Mechanical God Sect, quickly arranged for someone to assist them. Seizing the moment as the Terror Demons were still in chaos, the eight people, with lightning speed, broke through the Terror Demons' defense line and made a swift return to the East Bank of the Yangtze River, entering the controlled zone of Han Shui City.
There were no unnecessary interrogations nor additional inspections, which gave Chen Jian a newfound understanding of the Holy Blood Temple's power.
Although, as Xu Lie mentioned, the Mechanical God Sect was the true master of this city, it was evident that the influence of the Holy Blood Temple had already infiltrated every aspect of Han Shui City, even to the extent of forming a "Shadow Governor."
This made Chen Jian even more wary of the Holy Blood Temple.
