Top-Class Comprehension: Start with Basic Fist Techniques-Chapter 1110 - 338: Swordsman of the Kunwu Realm! Lu Changsheng Shatters Sword Qi Barehanded! Utterly Shocking!

Holy Zhou City, Prefecture Government.

Lu Changsheng arrived at the Prefecture Government and met with Lord Fu Zun.

Lord Fu Zun wore a smile and said to Lu Changsheng, "Mr. Lu, please take a seat."

"I just heard that Mr. Lu is a powerful being with a Divine Body Foundation, and our Holy Zhou City did not properly welcome you, truly a neglect on our part. I hope you can understand."

Lord Fu Zun was very courteous, even quite enthusiastic.

However, being so enthusiastic without prior acquaintance means there is surely a favor to ask.

"Lord Fu Zun overpraises me. As a mere martial artist, I hardly deserve such attention from your Lordship."

"I wonder what your Lordship seeks from me?"

Lu Changsheng knew that in the Wenhua Divine Dynasty, reverence for the literary arts was paramount.

Lord Fu Zun held a high status indeed.

Conversely, while martial artists also had a high status, it was not on par with that of the Grand Qian Divine Dynasty.

The current high stance and enthusiasm of Lord Fu Zun seemed unusual.

There must be something Lu Changsheng was needed for.

No good deed goes unpunished, as they say!

Lu Changsheng remained cautious.

Lord Fu Zun smiled faintly and said, "Mr. Lu, to be honest, there are indeed matters that need your assistance."

"Are you familiar with the external deities?"

"Hmm?"

Lu Changsheng's eyes slightly narrowed, casting a glance at Lord Fu Zun.

He then replied calmly, "I've heard of them, but have never met one."

"These external deities are truly the source of turmoil in the Kunwu Realm."

"Our Wenhua Divine Dynasty, with its brilliant culture, lives in harmony with neighboring divine dynasties and maintains friendly relations. Within the divine dynasty, resources are abundant, and the people live in peace and prosperity. It is rare to have such an influence over the surroundings, submitting neighbors peacefully."

"Alas, these external deities are insidious, causing internal disruptions within the cultural divine dynasty, always lacking awe and only focused on destruction, which troubles the imperial court greatly."

"Yet these external deities are individually strong. Sometimes only the dispatch of a National Guardian Divine Object can effectively deal with them. For instance, some time ago, the State Governor received intelligence of a powerful external deity hidden in the State Mansion."

"Later, the State Governor meticulously planned to capture that deity, but instead, the opponent caused havoc in the State City and escaped. Annoyingly, they did not flee far but occupied a Prefecture City, their intentions unknown."

"The State Governor was furious and ordered each prefecture to deploy a certain number of experts who have established their Divine Body Foundation to the State Government, to be directed by the State Governor to either slay or expel that external deity."

"Holy Zhou City mustered all possible forces, yet lacked one martial artist with a Divine Body Foundation. Luckily, you appeared, Mr. Lu, so I must beseech your help, and this official will be most grateful!"

Lord Fu Zun explained at length.

The matter was actually quite simple.

An external deity was entrenched in a Prefecture City and refused to leave. The State Governor planned to exterminate the deity, hence requiring divine-level experts from each prefecture.

Lord Fu Zun of Holy Zhou City thus sought out Lu Changsheng.

Coincidentally, with his presence, Holy Zhou City's quota was finally met.

Lu Changsheng was indeed curious.

What exactly did that external deity wish to achieve by occupying the Prefecture City?

Lu Changsheng himself was an external deity.

The so-called external deities are merely experts among the myriad races of the Boundary Sea.

These experts came to the Kunwu Realm with specific goals.

One was to seek personal opportunities, like divine objects.

The other was to carry out tasks assigned by the Ancestor Realm.

Tasks from the Ancestor Realm usually involved leads on the Ascension path or clues about the Heavenly Realm or Immortals.

External deities were extremely cautious, generally avoiding direct conflict with State Governments and divine dynasties.

As divine dynasties were not weak.

If a divine dynasty became enraged and mobilized a powerful divine object, the external deity would be in danger.

Yet now, this external deity disregarded the danger to occupy the Prefecture City.

This was exceedingly strange.

But while curious, Lu Changsheng had no intent of risking his life for the yamen with mere words.

That was impossible!

Lu Changsheng stayed silent, observing.

Seeing Lu Changsheng's prolonged silence, Lord Fu Zun naturally understood why.

Thus, he smiled slightly and said, "I heard you are seeking information on Immortal texts or Immortals. Is that true?"

Lu Changsheng raised his head, glancing at Lord Fu Zun: "Could it be that your Lordship has clues?"

"Indeed."

"Within the Prefecture Government's archives, there are two volumes about Immortal texts and records of Immortals. These records are even absent in the Academy's library and may prove helpful to you."

"Oh? Are you serious?"

A gleam flashed in Lu Changsheng's eyes.

"Absolutely!"

"If you are willing to assist, these two ancient texts will be yours upon your successful return. How about that?"

This Lord Fu Zun was also being strategic.

He would wait until Lu Changsheng returned to hand over the texts.

Lu Changsheng pondered for a moment.

He could obtain the texts now.

At most, by eliminating those in the Prefecture Government.

Yet, doing so would provoke the Wenhua Divine Dynasty.

Unless absolutely necessary, there was no need.

After all, the Wenhua Divine Dynasty might hold many records on Immortals and Immortal texts.

Additionally, Lu Changsheng had to search for further fragments of the Red Dust Immortal Tombstone within the Wenhua Divine Dynasty.

Provoking the Wenhua Divine Dynasty now would be unwise.

Moreover, observing why the external deity occupied the Prefecture City might bring unexpected rewards.

"Then let's make it a deal, Lord Fu Zun."

Lu Changsheng agreed.

"Excellent!"

"Return home and wait for now, Mr. Lu."

"In a few days, this official will send people from the Prefecture Government to invite you to set off."
