With supplies, the Zoroastrians never lingered any longer. Chen Ao and his party never stopped except for a short rest at several altars.

After nearly two months of eating and sleeping, I finally came to the current capital of Turkmenistan. The Persian Empire had fallen much during this period and was experiencing turmoil from foreign invasions. That's why the power of religion is so powerful.

From a distance, Chen Ao could see a majestic temple standing on a hill outside the city. A huge statue of the god of light towers above the temple. Along the way, Chen Ao has also seen a lot of exotic scenery. But he had something on his mind, and he didn't have the heart to enjoy the scenery.

The group did not enter the city, but came directly towards the mountain where the temple was located. There were already hundreds of people standing at the foot of the mountain, trying to greet their congregation. Bright yellow and fiery red flags are waving in the wind. Chen Ao saw a middle-aged man from a distance, sitting on a seat carried by sixteen people, looking at them.

Chen Ao thought to himself, this must be the Zoroastrian leader, Lan Yuyan's uncle Jalali. I saw that Jalali's thick curly hair had turned slightly white. The curly beard on the face covers the entire lower half of the face. He was holding a glass glass of blood-red wine in one hand, and in the other hand he was holding something and was slowly turning.

Jalaari's gloomy eyes stared straight at Lan Yuyan, not knowing what he was thinking. Elder Mira led the crowd to salute the Sect Master, and then they parted sides. In the open space in front of Jalari, only Lan Yuyan, Chen Ao, and the injured Holkoz were left.

Jalaari must have received the letter from Mira and knew what had happened, so he wasn't too surprised to see Lan Yuyan swaggering back. It's only that he doesn't have so much power to dispose of the saintess, so he can only be helpless about Lan Yuyan's return.

Jalaari laughed, stepped out of his seat, and opened his hands to welcome Lan Yuyan warmly. Chen Ao couldn't understand their words, so Holkoz translated him behind him.

Jalali laughed, "My niece, you're finally back!"

Lan Yuyan sneered, ignoring his welcome at all. Jalali stood there with his hands outstretched, suddenly a little embarrassed. Seeing this, Chen Ao hurriedly greeted him and said with a smile: "Sect Leader Jia, I am fortunate to be happy!"

Lan Yuyan and Holkoz were both a little stunned. None of them reacted, didn't Chen Ao hate this Jalali in the first place? Why was he suddenly so enthusiastic?

Chen Ao turned his head and said to Holkotz: "Don't be stunned, translate quickly!"

Holkoz had a great change in his impression of Chen Ao because he saved Lan Yuyan. But at this time, he was a little confused, and Hall coldly translated Chen Ao's words, and then turned his head.

Jalali apparently also knew of this well-known believer, and seemed very happy. Especially when Lan Yuyan was so cold, Chen Ao behaved so enthusiastically, and Jalali naturally had a good impression of him.

Jalali took Chen Ao's hand and said something in a hurry. The faces of the people around them changed, especially the elders, who looked at each other. Chen Ao secretly wondered, but he still had a warm smile on his face, looked at Lan Yuyan, and asked, "What kind of bird language does this old boy say?"

Lan Yuyan translated stupidly: "He said that you are the first believer of my religion in the East, and you are the darling of the God of Light. In the future, when the East sets up a branch altar, you will be an elder! You are the youngest elder in history!"

Chen Ao thought secretly, hmph, this old boy knows that I have a high status in the Central Plains, and if he doesn't give me an elder, he still wants me to listen to him obediently?

But Jalali shook his head again and said something. At this time, even Lan Yuyan was a little stunned. Chen Ao had no choice but to ask again.

Lan Yuyan said, "He said...... He said that the territory of the East is vast, and it is not enough to set up a branch altar. As long as you can develop more believers to believe in my Bright Holy Sect, then set up a branch sect in the original place, and you will be the sect leader!"

Chen Ao was stunned and muttered to himself: "Zoroastrian division...... Isn't this Mingjiao...... I'm obedient, Lao Tzu is actually the first leader of the Ming Sect!"

He smiled even brighter, put his hands on his chest, and saluted Jarari respectfully. Persia knelt down and bowed from time to time, but it also saved Chen Ao the trouble. However, Rao was like this, which also caused Lan Yuyan and Holkoz to despise for a while. Although they couldn't believe that Chen Ao had defected so quickly, they also felt that Chen Ao's face was really a bit hateful.

Jalali was delighted and beckoned. A waiter behind him immediately brought two glasses of wine, and Jalali took it and handed Chen Ao a glass. The two drank it all in the envy and laughter of everyone, and they made a promise.

The eyes of the Zoroastrian elders were red. Although they already knew Chen Ao's special identity, they knew that such a person joining the church could not be like an ordinary disciple. But they also did not expect that Jalali would promise him so much power at once. In this way, Chen Ao's status in the sect is higher than that of most elders. In the future, if the sect in the Central Plains can really be established, Chen Ao will be the emperor of Yitu, and his status in the entire Zoroastrianism is second only to Jallari. It's no wonder that everyone is red-eyed.

But Jalaari wasn't a fool either. On the contrary, he is more scheming than many people. The reason why he gave Chen Ao so many benefits was all deliberate. In that place in the Central Plains, there were already Taoism, Buddhism, and Confucianism, and Zoroastrianism took dozens or hundreds of years to penetrate into it. If Chen Ao can really develop his strength in the Central Plains, it will be a great achievement of the Holy Sect, and it will also be Jalali's name that will be recorded in the history of the Holy Sect. And if Chen Ao fails to do this, then these promises will be in the air.

Using a piece of paper to envelop a subordinate with so much influence in the Central Plains Empire, Jalali felt that this business was worth it.

Chen Ao also thinks it's worth it. In his opinion, Jalali's tricks are all intrigues and intrigues of those people in the Central Plains, and playing with the rest of the things is not fresh at all. However, his main purpose is to have a good relationship with Jalaari, so that his safety in Persia can be guaranteed, and he can also help Lan Yuyan. It was an idea he had planned for a long time. However, looking at the appearance of Lan Yuyan and Holkotz, it is obvious that they do not understand their hard work. Chen Ao could only shake his head and smile bitterly.

At this time, an elder in a white robe walked forward with an eyebrow-high cane and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Sect Leader Chen, congratulations to Sect Leader Chen!"

This old man is clearly a Persian, but he speaks Chinese. Although he spoke Chinese a little awkwardly, Chen Ao heard it clearly.

He was a little surprised and said, "My husband can speak Chinese?!"

The old man smiled and said, "My name is Smale, I used to be a merchant when I was young, I went to the country of the East and learned some Chinese!"

Lan Yuyan whispered, "Chen Ao, he is the chief elder of the House of Elders!"
