Lord Shenxiu-Chapter 508 Clement (1200 added)

Su Family Manor.

Su Wei had grown into a stunning young girl and was entering the backyard with Su Tang, her excitement palpable.

"Er Ha?!"

She saw a familiar figure and affectionately approached, rubbing Er Ha’s dog head.

As a little girl, she had always been particularly fond of this playmate.

After Er Ha returned to his clan’s land, she had been secretly heartbroken for a long time.

"Awoo... woof woof..."

Er Ha instinctively let out a couple of barks, then suddenly remembered he was now a Divine Power dog and needed to act with restraint, quickly covering his mouth.

Still, his tongue hung out slightly askew, making him look three parts foolish.

Su Wei laughed sweetly, then turned her gaze to another area.

There, Zhong Shenxiu was holding a whip, with three smooth, jet black... large dogs? lying at his feet.

"Is big brother training dogs?" Su Wei asked curiously.

"Sort of..."

Zhong Shenxiu coughed once. He was, of course, in the guise of Su Daoshi, and said calmly, "The Black Fog around Fufeng Protectorate has dispersed; this area is not very safe anymore. You all know about this, right?"

Su Wei and Su Tang looked at each other and nodded, "There was a lot of talk about it earlier. It’s said that the cavalry dispatched by the protector met with a knight reconnaissance team from the west... and ultimately a conflict broke out. That’s how we learned that there were already enemy kingdoms beyond our borders. Three days ago, there were signs of the enemy assembling. The protector mobilized five thousand Black Wind Army soldiers and five thousand servant soldiers, ten thousand in total, deciding to strike first and defend our nation’s gate..."

"Oh? Is he foolish? Seeking death?" Zhong Shenxiu scoffed.

Su Wei and Su Tang exchanged glances, facing this high official who held power over life and death in the land. Could Su Daoshi be too casual?

But at that moment, they could only brazenly answer, "The protector’s deployment is fully supported by the Cloud Mirror Sect. It is said that Ancestor Yun Jian himself is accompanying the troops. He is a Primordial Pill Great Cultivator; surely he will be able to quell the bandits..."

"I always feel like this is a sacrificial offering... Don’t enemies have Primordial Pills too? Or perhaps... individuals comparable to Primordial Pills?"

Zhong Shenxiu shook his head, "Let’s not bother about these. This time, I am here to prepare to relocate our clan members to avoid the war... You just spread the word, and those who want to leave can come, and those who wish to stay can keep the farmland and houses..."

"This..." Su Tang hesitated, as this was, after all, their entire family property.

Yet, Su Wei immediately nodded, "I will go with big brother!"

"Mmh..."

Zhong Shenxiu was noncommittal, feeling he had already nearly fulfilled his promise to Su Daoshi.

He had come back to help entirely out of the bond they had formed over the days they had spent together after crossing paths.

If they hadn’t met, he wouldn’t care less if they died!

"You go handle it..."

He waved his hand, watching the departing figures of Er Ha and Su Wei, then casually whipped the three large dogs again, causing them to howl in pain, incredibly agonized.

"How does this Soul Searching Whip feel? If you don’t want me to beat you until you become an idiot, obediently spill all the information about the west..."

Zhong Shenxiu’s face bore a smile, but in the eyes of the three Divine Power werewolves, he was like a demon!

...

Several days later.

Inside the study.

A rough map was spread out in front of Zhong Shenxiu.

"Western nations, since the great war that destroyed the Yan Han First Empire, have also undergone a great deal of change... Countless small states have swallowed each other up, and now only one great empire and three great kingdoms remain?"

"They are located in the far west, the Western Court Empire, and near the east, the Enrique Kingdom, Bauhinia Kingdom, and... the Clement Kingdom established by the Medici Family!"

Zhong Shenxiu had little impression of the other Western kingdoms.

But regarding the Medici Family, he had a deep impression.

After all, he had once received a part of the Felix Family’s legacy and from some fragmented memories of the Headless Earl, he knew that the Felix Family, established by the Pioneer Earl, was actually a branch of the Medici Family!

"This is also fated with me!"

Zhong Shenxiu muttered, "although... it’s a bad fate!"

From the three large dogs, he also knew that during the hundred-year war, the religious aspect in the Western countries had also undergone various changes.

Old gods stepped down, new gods rose.

Similar to the terrifying demon wolves, the bloody and barbaric ancestral worship and totem sacrifices were compressed to the extreme, only surviving in certain barbaric tribes and specific ethnic groups.

"These three werewolves belong to the Fenrir Tribe... a vassal to the Clement Kingdom, living very close to the Black Fog border... the moment the barrier disappeared, they directly invaded..."

"The strength of the Clement Kingdom... being able to suppress the entire Fenrir Wolfman Tribe, is naturally very strong... exactly how strong, those few country dogs aren’t very clear, but they know that the High Priest of their tribe, who is definitely not weaker than a Primordial Pill Great Cultivator, was still easily defeated... The strength of the entire kingdom, perhaps doesn’t lose to any of the three sects of Taoism? Or... is it that the Medici Family alone is equivalent to a top sect?"

Western systems, after all, differ from the Central Earth, adopting a noble feudal fief system.

Even the advanced Clement Kingdom consists of the imperial family and a group of great nobles.

Among them, the Medici Family’s strength is unfathomable, having been passed down from ancient times to the present, known as the "Demigod Family," members flowing with divine blood.

The other great nobles are dubbed the "Demigod Family" as well, each wielding extremely powerful forces.

"Demigod... True God... I wonder what rank they correspond to in the Immortal Dao... No... such a different system, there’s really no comparability?"

"For example, Immortal Dao values privacy, self-interest... but the gods of the West, they like to spread belief..."

Zhong Shenxiu tapped his forehead, "The mainstream belief in the Clement Kingdom is the Traveler Church! It is also a force that cannot be ignored, and what they worship is... the Gate of a Thousand!"

This was within Zhong Shenxiu’s expectations.

After all, as a branch of the Medici Family, the Felix Family had been venerating the Gate of a Thousand for generations!

He too had gotten his first pot of gold from that ceremony.

So, it was entirely reasonable that the main branch, the Medici, also worshiped the same existence represented by the Gate of a Thousand.

’From my experience... the Gate of a Thousand can definitely be compared with beings like the tail-eating snake, and they seem... generally more powerful than a corpse-refined immortal?’

’Although according to those three little dogs, True Gods almost never descend to intervene in mortal affairs, but if a god were to truly descend... the future of the Second Yan Han Empire might be concerning!’

...

Knock knock!

Urgent knocking sounds arose.

"Come in!"

Zhong Shenxiu tidied up the map, only to see Su Tang bursting in with a face full of panic, shouting, "The latest news from the front lines... The Protector leads the Black Wind Army in battle against the enemy’s Lightning Corps, and... the entire army has been annihilated... Ancestor Yun Jian has died in battle... The enemy corps is moving towards Fufeng City..."
