Lord Shenxiu-Chapter 509: I’m Here (Please Subscribe)

Outside Fufeng City.

A legion arrived, its banners adorned with patterns of lightning, composed mostly of tall, burly Westerners with rough, pale skin and deep blue eyes.

They wore chain armor or full body armor, gathering under the banners of the Lightning Army, enslaving werewolves and green-skinned dwarfs as slave troops, launching an attack on Fufeng City!

Amidst the camp, a mysterious storm brewed, suppressing the Daoist power within the city.

High above in the sky.

Zhong Shenxiu looked down at this scene and sighed, "I see the Empire crumbling before me..."

The enemy was formidable!

Even within the ranks of the legion, there lurked dangerous threats.

This dissuaded him from the thought of intervening; he left immediately, heading west.

’Hmm... The enemy has seized the initiative, invading from the west, with Fufeng Protectorate and nearby Luo State becoming the main battleground, peace eludes the whole world...’

’On the other hand... in Clement Kingdom, neighboring this area, there wouldn’t be significant military disasters before the Second Yan Han Empire’s counteroffensive... It seems like a good place to go.’

’It is an excellent opportunity to travel and learn about the Western mystery arts.’

’I suppose even if the Dragon Tiger Sect’s disembodied immortal knows I’ve fled to the West, they might not dare to pursue...’

As for his family and subordinates, they were naturally all stored within a Wuji Pearl, hanging at his waist.

"In the future, I should use this pearl sparingly in battle, if at all, or if it gets hit... I would be fine, but the people inside might not survive..."

Zhong Shenxiu sighed and slowly retreated.

Before long, he felt a great battle erupt outside Fufeng City.

Even the aftermath could affect tens of miles, and it was still perceptible hundreds of miles away.

Whoosh!

A gust of wind blew, shaking off a flurry of leaves.

Zhong Shenxiu reached out and caught one, "Inside Fufeng City, there must be Primordial Spirit Practitioners sent by the court as reinforcements... but previously, the Lightning Army had no such characters. Is it a summoning ceremony that brought high-ranking beings here, or... some mysterious skill to traverse the void?"

Even the Headless Earl had his fair share of proficient space magic.

The main Medici Family lineage would be even more versed!

Having such high-ranking entities who could open a gate directly from Clement’s capital, Phoenix City of Kaleston, to Fufeng City was not at all surprising. freewēbnoveℓ.com

’If it wasn’t possible before, it was due to Black Fog’s interference... Now, the entire Central Earth Immortal Dao system will face challenges from the mystery arts...’

Zhong Shenxiu didn’t concern himself with the outcome of the battle behind him; he flew past the Su Family Manor, over a great canyon, and saw the desolate area that used to be shrouded in Black Fog.

At that moment, it was no longer covered by the fog, and there were many signs of marching troops.

"Although many cultivators could survive temporarily within the Black Fog, even Zhang Taiyi once established a temporary lair... yet I haven’t heard of any Primordial Pill or Primordial Spirit doing so. Perhaps for them, the Black Fog possesses an unusual terror—the stronger one is, the more targeted they are?"

"Now it seems that this Black Fog belt is not wide, just a narrow strip, which both shelters and restricts the development of the Second Yan Han Empire..."

Zhong Shenxiu raised his hand and released a beam of pure light.

The light was hazy and immediately enveloped his entire body, making his form appear ethereal, and his escaping light almost imperceptible.

Heading to an entirely hostile kingdom was no simple matter!

Zhong Shenxiu had the experience of the Thousand Gates and had once used the Western mystery arts to ascend to the level of the ’Ascenders’ in the Western World, a rank nearly equivalent to that of the Primordial Spirit. His understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of Eastern and Western spells and skills was unparalleled.

"Although that world follows a system of soul ascension, passing through six great wonders, it’s ultimately from the Western World..."

"And... I’ve also received the gifts of the ’Thousand Doors,’ having once been a ’Pastor!’"

Zhong Shenxiu recalled the description on the Heavenly Show System:

"Information Fragment Two: Pastor career discovered, employment requirements—approval of resentful spirits, flesh and blood ritual, Shepherd Soul Secret Medicine..."

"The western states of the Second Yan Han Empire seem to have a mainstream career system? With stringent rankings obtained through various rituals and secret medicines... Even if it’s not the mainstream, could it be a significant part?"

"And when Western Cultivators clash with those from the East..."

Zhong Shenxiu pondered for a moment and suddenly felt that this could be quite interesting.

The West has Divination and Spatial Spells, and the East also possesses fortune-telling and Void Divine Power!

"One could say... Now that the new laws have been supplemented, they seem to be on par with the Western systems. This war will be worth fighting... The continuous disasters are also why I did not wish to stay in Central Earth."

This war began as an invasion battle—Westerners aren’t fools, they’d certainly rather ignite chaos on enemy territory than in their own homes.

It could be foreseen that this would be a protracted war, and that the Fufeng Protectorate, perhaps even several nearby states, might be directly ravaged!

"Now, what do I need to infiltrate the Western World?"

Zhong Shenxiu thought to himself: "First and foremost is the ability to counter prophecies and divinations... Otherwise, as soon as I arrive I’ll be foreseen and promptly mobbed, which wouldn’t be fun..."

In this regard, he was quite confident.

After all, an "Arrival" on par with a Primordial Spirit’s status should resist most forms of divination and prophecy.

As for higher levels?

Those truly formidable Divination Masters might find that attempting to divine him could be fatal!

"Then, there’s the matter of appearance!"

An Eastern face wouldn’t blend in well in the Clement Kingdom, so a change of disguise was necessary.

Zhong Shenxiu thought about it and pulled out a template.

Based on his current appearance, he would make his skin whiter, his nose slightly higher, his eyes a deep blue, and his hair the luster of pure gold.

"As for the language, I’ve learned from the Headless Earl... It shouldn’t have changed too much, right?"

While changing his appearance, Zhong Shenxiu had already crossed over the Black Fog wasteland and saw the vast forests ahead, smooth wheat fields, huge windmills, rivers irrigating wheat fields, and enormous pastures with flocks of sheep...

He had reached the border of the Clement Kingdom!

"At this time of convergence between East and West, Westerners will surely be on guard against Easterners coming over to gather intelligence or engage in espionage and assassination..."

"This is a nation blessed by great beings!"

"Hm, first, I need to set a principle to avoid all kinds of churches and prayer rituals as much as possible..."

"I wonder if other Central Earth people like me will be careless and suffer in secret?"

"The second point is that I can’t fly around with pomp anymore. Do they really think this is the completely ancient Western World without anti-air measures? Even with a disguise, it remains the same!"

Thinking this, Zhong Shenxiu landed his flight light, transforming into a young man with golden hair and blue eyes.

He was dressed in a white shirt and black trousers—outfits he had simulated with illusion after observing some Westerners’ attire, exuding a rich Western style.

"Clement, here I come!"
