Lin Ye didn't rush into the church. In fact, the lively atmosphere of the church at this moment was somewhat beyond his imagination.

A large number of Holy Flame Sect followers had almost surrounded the entire church tightly.

But thankfully, with the guidance of a lot of staff on site, there wasn't any major chaos, and everyone followed the rules diligently.

They quietly prayed outside, received some protective talismans with the Holy Flame emblem, and then left.

Everything was so orderly.

Among the busy workers, there were also familiar faces to Lin Ye.

These were some professionals who had once followed him. Because they had received Lin Ye's help, they were also loyal believers of the Holy Flame Sect.

At this moment, they were all tirelessly assisting the church staff in guiding the constantly arriving followers.

As for why it was so lively, it wasn't something strange.

Because the news that Lin Ye had safely returned had long been spread through various channels.

Almost all the followers of the Holy Flame Sect were excited, flocking to the nearby Holy Flame Church to celebrate this event.

Interestingly, from their perspective, Lin Ye was the one and only Pope of this newly born sect!

Because besides Lin Ye, no one else was qualified.

But the position of the Pope was basically assumed, and even Lin Ye, who was regarded as the Pope, only learned about the existence of this sect today.

So, Lin Ye was the last to know he was made Pope.

"Let's see if Bishop Liu is inside..."

Lin Ye glanced towards the church and saw that the emblem on the Junior Priest Zou Xiaozhi's robe from the former Holy Light Church had changed to a symbol of the Holy Flame.

This Junior Priest who previously managed the Church Court with Liu Qingshan also switched allegiance to the Holy Flame Sect.

But among the busy workers, Liu Qingshan's figure was nowhere to be seen.

But this was just as Lin Ye expected.

Because without a doubt, Liu Qingshan must be avoiding seeing the mess, hiding in the clergy quarters at the back of the church pretending to be dead.

The bustling at the front naturally didn't concern this old man.

After all, Liu Qingshan was already quite old, and in these few years, his attributes had declined, and his essence, qi, and spirit had greatly diminished. To have him deal with so many followers really was making little of the old man.

Even though the front yard was bustling, it didn't disturb his peace at the back yard.

As for Lin Ye wanting to sneak inside, it was naturally no difficult task.

Especially now, since Lin Ye had constructed an origin qi vortex within him, his perception ability had strengthened to a terrifying degree.

Now Lin Ye could easily perceive everything happening within four to five hundred meters around him without using mechanical animals.

Everything surrounding him automatically constructed a special scene in his mind.

Based on this terrifying perception ability, climbing into the courtyard was a trivial operation for Lin Ye, and he didn't even need to use his Space Mage abilities.

Without going through the front yard, Lin Ye silently slipped into the backyard.

Lin Ye familiarly found the tea room where Liu Qingshan would likely be and knocked on the door.

"Come in!"

Inside, Liu Qingshan's voice indeed came through.

Lin Ye smiled slightly and pushed the door open to walk in.

"Have all the followers left? Are you sneaking in here to slack off?" Liu Qingshan spoke without raising his head, pouring tea into an empty cup.

Lin Ye didn't speak, walked over, pulled out a chair to sit down, and smiled at Liu Qingshan.

"Why aren't you talking? Have you gone mute?" Liu Qingshan pushed the cup of tea towards Lin Ye, still not lifting his head.

Clearly, he mistook Lin Ye for Junior Priest Zou Xiaozhi.

"Long time no see, Bishop Liu!" Lin Ye finally spoke, with a hint of a smile.

Upon hearing this, Liu Qingshan's hand trembled slightly as he was about to withdraw it. He incredulously raised his head and looked at Lin Ye.

"You..."

Clearly, he recognized at a glance the young man who had walked out of Shan City and created many miracles along the way... No, now he was already a young adult!

After a prolonged silence, Liu Qingshan nodded with a smile and said, "I never thought you would remember to come and see this old fossil."

"How could I forget Bishop Liu's help," Lin Ye said seriously.

Liu Qingshan chuckled, genuinely pleased.

Seeing Lin Ye return safely, and because Lin Ye remembered him!

This proved he hadn't misjudged him!

After all, Lin Ye's 'Holy Light Feather' skill was passed on to him by Liu Qingshan.

What does inheritance skills mean?

They are skills passed from elder to younger, and in a sense, Lin Ye was definitely considered a disciple of Liu Qingshan.

You know, many times in large families, even real grandfathers might be reluctant to pass their skills on to their grandsons.

And yet Liu Qingshan passed on his precious skills to Lin Ye, who essentially had no actual relationship with him.

This kindness, Lin Ye always kept in mind for Liu Qingshan.

But neither Liu Qingshan nor Lin Ye were particularly talkative, and after checking on Liu Qingshan's situation, Lin Ye prepared to leave.

When Lin Ye left, the church was still bustling, and there seemed to be more and more people coming.

Because Lin Ye was from Shan City, and this church was once the site where Lin Ye manifested, and is now one of the branches of the Holy Flame Sect, to the followers, this church was undeniably a holy site!

As the news of Lin Ye returning to the human world spread, more and more Holy Flame Cultists flocked to this church as pilgrims, meaning it wouldn't quiet down anytime soon.

However, these affairs weren't Lin Ye's main concern.

In his view, this sect was just something a few interested parties leveraged his fame for to combat the Holy Light Church Court.

And now it seemed, their strategy was indeed effective.

Judging merely by the scale of the pilgrims, the Holy Flame Sect's current size was already enough to threaten the Church Court.

Clearly, in these three years, this sect's growth speed was truly rapid, even shaking the Church Court's centuries or millennium-old foundation!

Of course, unlike the Church Court...

Even though Lin Ye never admitted it, the current Holy Flame Sect was a dominion Lin Ye had no disputing claims to.

As long as he wished, this organization, with its vast number of followers and all its resources, could be at his disposal.

As for the person responsible for all of this...

"Liang Houyun, I really should thank you."

Looking at the bustling church, Lin Ye couldn't help but scratch his head.
