Upon seeing this group of people, the staff in the conference hall immediately said, "Elder Yan just entered his office; I'll go and call him right away."

As he spoke, the staff member walked into the office.

At this moment, several men in military uniforms helped a middle-aged man in the middle to a chair.

Shortly after, the staff member from before led an elderly man here.

Seeing a group of people surrounding a middle-aged man, the old man asked in a deep voice, "What's going on here?"

"Elder Yan, you've arrived?"

Upon seeing this, the leading general immediately explained, "General Zheng Zezhi was conscripted to the front lines a month ago to defend against the Exotic Beast in the Kunlun Ruins in the Northwest."

In the past month or so, General Zheng has killed more than twenty low-level Exotic Beast on the battlefield. Yesterday, he even joined forces with five high-level Martial Artist to kill a Tier 7 Exotic Beast.

However, General Zheng Zezhi was unfortunately corrupted by the baleful aura of this Tier 7 Exotic Beast, which affected his sanity.

"That's ridiculous!"

The old man immediately said, "Being struck by the ferocious beast's malevolent energy will cause either mental exhaustion or, in severe cases, loss of consciousness."

If not treated in time, the child's personality may change drastically, and they might even become mentally unstable.

"Isn't there Divine Sense Master stationed at the Kunlun Ruins front line? Li Ying should have dispelled the evil aura from General Zheng right there. Why was he brought back?"

The general replied, "Elder Yan, General Zheng was not deeply affected by the evil energy at the time. At first, he was just listless and it didn't last long."

Furthermore, the Divine Sense Master on the front lines are all important figures. If they are severely affected by the evil energy, it's fine, but they will only experience a slight mental decline.

They won't act easily.

General Zheng originally intended to return to East River Province to request help from local Divine Sense Master, but unexpectedly, while riding the airship, the malevolent energy's corrosive influence suddenly worsened, causing him to lose his senses.

The old man immediately said, "Tier 7 Exotic Beast is no ordinary creature. The murderous aura it carries cannot be ignored even by Grandmaster Martial Artist."

Lay General Zheng flat, let me take a look!

The staff insisted and quickly ran to get a mat. Several people nearby then lifted the middle-aged man onto the mat.

Upon seeing this, the old man immediately bent down to examine the middle-aged man's condition.

He extended his Mental Power to examine the malevolent aura emanating from the middle-aged man.

Suddenly, his Mental Power sensed a surge of bloody energy. He quickly used his Mental Power to resist it, and in an instant, the bloody energy was defeated on all sides, suddenly breaking into smaller pieces and dispersing around the middle-aged man's body.

The old man wanted to use his Mental Power to completely eliminate the rampant evil energy, but suddenly felt his Mental Power was depleted.

He shook his head and sighed, "I'm really getting old. Even something as simple as clearing away the evil aura of these ferocious beasts has left me exhausted."

The old man then looked at Xing Zhongshi and said, "Mr. Xing, I am powerless to help. Please, I beg you, to save General Zheng."

"Of course." Xing Zhongshi walked over, bent down, picked up the middle-aged man's wrist, and began to probe with his Mental Power.

About ten minutes later, Xing Zhongshi frowned, then let go of the middle-aged man's hand and stood up.

"Mr. Xing, is that all?"

Seeing Xing Zhongshi's serious expression, the old man couldn't help but ask.

Xing Zhongshi said, "Elder Yan, I have cleared General Zheng's murderous aura, but his mind has suffered a tremendous shock."

My mental state is severely deteriorating, and there's nothing I can do to help.

The old man was taken aback. "Even you are powerless to help?"

"Unless a high-level Divine Sense Master intervenes, or a Divine Sense Master with exceptional Mental Power skills is found to gradually help General Zheng nurture his mind, General Zheng's path in martial arts may come to an end."

"That serious?" the old man exclaimed in surprise.

"If one's mind is damaged and not treated immediately, it will inevitably affect one's martial arts."

"General Zheng is now over forty years old, and his martial arts are at a critical juncture where he must either progress or regress. If he doesn't take proper care of himself this time, his martial arts may even decline," said Xing Zhongshi.

"In that case, immediately report to Commander Lu and quickly request a high-level Divine Sense Master to come and treat General Zheng."

The old man then spoke to the military general beside him.

"It's too late." Xing Zhongshi shook his head and said, "Even if we could get a high-level Divine Sense Master to come, it would still take at least three to five days, depending on our connections."

Given General Zheng's condition, if this delay continues for three to five days, it will definitely cause irreversible damage to him.

The best course of action now is to find a highly Mental Power Divine Sense Master among the Three Rivers to help us.

"Divine Sense Master with exceptional Mental Power?"

Then I will join forces with the military and issue a reward through the Dongchuan Martial Artist Association. After all, General Zheng was injured while protecting his country. If any Divine Sense Master can heal General Zheng, they will receive a special merit from the East River Province military, plus the one million points offered by the Martial Artist Association.

As he spoke, the old man contacted the East River Province military via Communicator.

After exchanging a few words, the old man put away the Communicator.

"Commander Lu Cangshan of the Dongchuan Military Region has agreed. Mr. Xing, could you please spread the word among the Divine Sense Master in Cloud River Province as well?"

"Okay!" Xing Zhongshi nodded in agreement.

Then, the old man turned to look at a type of Divine Sense Master in the conference room.

"To all the Divine Sense Master who are seated here, you should have all heard what I just said."

If anyone can save General Zheng Zezhi, they will receive a special merit from the East River Province military and one million points from the East River Province Martial Artist.

Anyone who believes their Mental Power manipulation skills are exceptional is welcome to give it a try.

Upon hearing the old man's announcement, a Divine Sense Master immediately stepped forward. "Elder Yan, I'm willing to give it a try."

Elder Yan nodded and gestured for the Divine Sense Master to come over.

The Divine Sense Master grabbed Zheng Zezhi's wrist and unleashed his Mental Power.

Not long after, he shook his head, got up, and left.

Soon, Divine Sense Master present had tried, but they all shook their heads and left helplessly.

"Alas, how difficult it is to find a Divine Sense Master with exceptional skill in manipulating Mental Power?"

Seeing that no one could do anything, Elder Yan immediately had Zheng Zezhi helped up and taken to a quiet place to recuperate.

"Elder Yan, there's no need to worry. In recent years, the environment for cultivating spiritual power in the Three Provinces of Chuanzhong has been getting better and better. Within two days, we will definitely be able to find a Mental Power Divine Sense Master to treat General Zheng."

Elder Yan nodded in agreement.

At this moment, Chen Lie stepped forward and stopped the staff from carrying Zheng Zezhi away.

Chen Lie reached out and touched the top of Zheng Zezhi's head. In just a moment, he understood what was going on.

He looked at Elder Yan and said, "You just said that if I cured him, I would receive a Military Merit and one million points."

Elder Yan retorted, "Nonsense! Do you think I would go back on my word to Chief Lu?"

"Okay," Chen Lie said, "I can treat his condition."

"What? You can cure it?" Elder Yan looked completely bewildered.

"Elder Yan, this young friend Chen Lie is, after all, a genius of divine sense. Perhaps he can truly give us a pleasant surprise," said Xing Zhongshi.

Elder Yan nodded and said, "Alright, give it a try. If you can really cure General Zheng, I will personally oversee the collection of the Military Merit from the Dongchuan Military Region and the one million points reward from the Martial Artist Association for you."

Chen Lie nodded, extending his Mental Power to slowly calm Zheng Zezhi's disordered mind.

Immediately afterwards, he channeled his Mental Power to nourish Zheng Zezhi's weakened spirit.

In just over a minute, Chen Lie had completed the treatment, and Zheng Zezhi's haggard complexion visibly improved.

To avoid making the incident too shocking, Chen Lie, in order to put on a show, "treated" Zheng Zezhi for over an hour before finally completing the treatment.

At this moment, only Elder Yan, Xing Zhongshi, Lu Qingchan, and a few staff members were in the entire conference room.

Seeing that Chen Lie had taken so long to finish his treatment, Elder Yan couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope. "How is it?"

Chen Liedao, "It's all done. When will the bounty be paid out?"

"Alright?"

Xing Zhongshi was puzzled, so he quickly went to Zheng Zezhi's side and used his Mental Power to test him.

A moment later, he exclaimed in astonishment, "It's really healed?"

"Are you sure?" Elder Yan couldn't help but ask.

"He is indeed well. General Zheng's weakened Mental Power and disordered mind have been completely cured."

"She just needs a few days of rest to fully recover." Xing Zhongshi nodded.

Elder Yan immediately looked at Chen Lie: "How did you do that?"

Chen Liedao, "You don't need to worry about that. I just want to know when the bounty reward will be paid out."

"Look at your pathetic self. With the reputation of the East River Province military and the Martial Artist Association, do you think they'd skimp on your rewards?"

"Wait two days. I'll coordinate with the military to go through the procedures. You can come and collect your reward anytime after two days."

"Two days later?" Chen Lie nodded. "That's fine. So, who should I contact to collect the reward?"

"Just contact me directly!" After saying that, Elder Yan looked at the staff member next to him and said, "Give him my contact information in a bit."

"Yes!"

The staff member readily agreed.

After saying this, Elder Yan instructed his men to carry Zheng Zezhi to a room to rest.

Then, he asked Chen Lie, "Young man, your information is from East River Province. Did you study under a high-ranking official in East River Province?"

"Yes."

"Geniuses are indeed capable of what ordinary people cannot. You can do things that even a sixth-level Divine Sense Master cannot do."

Don't take what I just said to heart. The younger generation of Divine Sense Master in East River Province desperately needs a brilliant leader to inspire them.

Lu Qingchan, standing nearby, was extremely puzzled. Was Chen Lie's aptitude for spiritual power really that good? Did they really intend for him to lead the entire generation of young Divine Sense Master in East River Province?

Amidst Lu Qingchan's myriad thoughts, Chen Lie had already completed his final conversation with Elder Yan and Xing Zhongshi.

"Chen Lie, you have excellent aptitude Divine Sense Master?"

As Lu Qingchan followed Chen Lie out of the conference hall, she couldn't help but ask.

Chen Lie casually replied, "It's alright, because there are too few Divine Sense Master in East River Province."

"Huh? But that person just said your spiritual ability is among the top three in the Three Provinces of Chuanzhong."

"He might not even understand."

Although Chen Lie said it that way, Lu Qingchan still understood that Chen Lie's spiritual aptitude was indeed extremely high.
