Zhang Xuantong noticed that Oliver Sheng didn’t believe him, but he didn’t bother to explain.
Some trivial matters are not worth paying attention to.
“After meeting Shengwu King today, I realized the rumors were true. He indeed has the potential of a Martial Emperor, a talent seen once in a millennium,” Zhang Xuantong couldn’t help but praise.
In Oliver Sheng, he saw an invincible aura.
From Oliver Sheng, there was a presence that even made him feel fear—a warning of death.
This feeling, he had only experienced from the strongest ancestor of Dragon and Tiger Mountain.
This indicated that Oliver Sheng’s strength had already reached the pinnacle of the Great Perfection of the Yang Spirit Realm.
It seemed the outside world had underestimated Oliver Sheng’s power.
No wonder he could kill a Martial Arts expert on the verge of entering the late stage of Martial Saint with a single punch.
According to the information they gathered from Dragon and Tiger Mountain, Oliver Sheng was only nineteen years old this year.
A nineteen-year-old Martial Saint and Yang Spirit—such a phenomenon hadn’t been heard of in five thousand years.
Perhaps this young man before him could truly break the shackles and step into the Martial Emperor Realm, or even ascend to immortality!
The unparalleled divination and powerful ancestor of Dragon and Tiger Mountain had sent him to befriend Oliver Sheng.
Before he left, the ancestor of Dragon and Tiger Mountain had only said one thing: “The Seven Kill Stars move, the world will change, an unprecedented upheaval!”
Oliver Sheng smiled slightly; the flattery was quite good.
“Speak, what is it you need from me? I don’t think a Yang Spirit and Earthly Immortal from Dragon and Tiger Mountain would come all this way just to praise me.”
“Our Dragon and Tiger Mountain has always been at odds with the Kunlun Daoist Sect. If Shengwu King ever plans to deal with Kunlun, our Dragon and Tiger Mountain is willing to join forces,” Zhang Xuantong said.
Oliver Sheng looked at Zhang Xuantong. Indeed, if one could be the second-best Daoist Sect in the world, who would be willing to be the third?
Considering the goodwill extended by Dragon and Tiger Mountain, Oliver Sheng thought for a moment and did not refuse.
He and the Kunlun Daoist Sect were already in a life-and-death struggle with no possibility of reconciliation.
Sooner or later, he would attack the Kunlun Daoist Sect.
If Dragon and Tiger Mountain were willing to assist, it would be a valuable aid.
“Alright, but at that time, I will need to borrow the Dragon and Tiger Seal, the Dao Tool of your sect,” Oliver Sheng said.
Since Dragon and Tiger Mountain had offered, he might as well take advantage of it. If he were to attack the Kunlun Daoist Sect, he would indeed need a powerful Dao Tool to counter the Kunlun Seal.
“Happy to oblige!” Zhang Xuantong agreed with a smile.
If they could pull the Kunlun Daoist Sect down from its pedestal, Dragon and Tiger Mountain would be more than happy.
With Oliver Sheng leading the charge, they would only need to assist.
From the ancestor’s instructions, Zhang Xuantong understood the importance of befriending Oliver Sheng.
“I heard that Shengwu King has brewed a fine wine that is hard to find in Da Chu. I wonder if Shengwu King has any to sell to me?” Zhang Xuantong asked with a smile.
“You want Western Wind Blaze? I have some, but I only want pills, not gold or silver,” Oliver Sheng said.
Zhang Xuantong smiled and said, “I have some Dragon and Tiger Pills with me, useful for Great Grandmasters or Yin Spirit cultivation. Would you be willing to trade?”
Oliver Sheng nodded upon hearing this, “Sure!”
He had hundreds of jars of Western Wind Blaze in his space. Oliver Sheng took some out.
Seeing this, Zhang Xuantong also took out several bottles of Dragon and Tiger Pills.
After exchanging, Zhang Xuantong took out a jade token, carved with the ancient characters for Dragon and Tiger.
“Shengwu King, this is our sect’s token. When the time comes, have someone bring this token to Dragon and Tiger Mountain, and our sect will know what to do,” Zhang Xuantong said.
“Alright!” Oliver Sheng put the token away.
“Xuantong won’t disturb Shengwu King any longer. Farewell!” Having achieved his purpose, Zhang Xuantong didn’t linger.
Removing the barrier, Zhang Xuantong smiled, “Shengwu King, I look forward to our next meeting!”
Then, Zhang Xuantong turned into a golden light and disappeared into the sky.
After Zhang Xuantong left, the people from Da Chu on the large ship looked at Oliver Sheng with fear and envy.
The fear was because he was a Martial Saint from Great Wei. If he attacked them, everyone on the ship would die.
Seeing their fearful expressions, Oliver Sheng said, “Everyone, don’t be afraid. I am just passing by and won’t harm you.”
Even though Oliver Sheng said this, the people still kept their distance, afraid of provoking him.
This was not a good sign. What kind of image had Da Chu painted of Great Wei?
Was he some kind of monster that ate people? Their fearful looks left him speechless.
They were all from the Central Plains, sharing the same heritage. Would he harm ordinary people?
It seemed that the long-standing division made unification imperative!
Ignoring their gazes, Oliver Sheng gave the Dragon and Tiger Pills to the veteran.
“Uncle, these are Dragon and Tiger Pills I exchanged from that Dragon and Tiger Mountain Daoist. They are for Great Grandmaster cultivation,” Oliver Sheng said.
“Thank you, Oliver!” The veteran accepted the pills.
He felt immense gratitude. Without Oliver Sheng, he would never have avenged the Sima Clan, living in hiding until his death.
Now, not only had he avenged the Sima Clan, but he also no longer had to hide and could walk openly in the world.
“Uncle, no need to thank me. It was just a small effort,” Oliver Sheng said with a smile.
After passing Sword Gate Gorge, they quickly entered Great Wei’s territory.
The news of Shengwu King’s presence in Da Chu had spread.
“Do you think it was Shengwu King who killed the Sima Clan?”
“Could be. I heard the Sima Clan had been snooping around Great Wei. Maybe they offended Shengwu King!”
“Seems like we found the truth!”
The people of Da Chu discussed Shengwu King.
When the news reached Great Wei, Empress Hazel Han frowned upon reading it.
“Why did Shengwu King go to Da Chu?”
Oliver Sheng was now a pillar of Great Wei. If something happened to him in Da Chu, it would be a huge loss for Great Wei.
“Someone, find Shengwu King and bring him to the Capital City to see me,” Empress Hazel Han ordered.
“Yes!”
A voice responded from the shadows of the hall, then fell silent.
These were the Shadow Guards personally trained by Empress Hazel Han, loyal only to her.
With the Black Robe Guards in the open and the Shadow Guards in the dark, she could better control Great Wei.
After entering Great Wei, Divine Mother said to Oliver Sheng, “General Sheng, I will take Luo Xi to travel around Great Wei and then return to the north. Farewell.”
Oliver Sheng nodded, “Alright, Fairy Zixi, farewell.”
“Goodbye, Uncle!” Luo Xi waved at Oliver Sheng with a sweet smile.
“Goodbye!” Oliver Sheng responded with a smile.
After parting ways with Divine Mother and Luo Xi, Oliver Sheng and his group quietly returned to River West.
Even the Shadow Guards sent by Empress Hazel Han couldn’t find their tracks.
Traveling across Great Wei, Oliver Sheng and his group returned to River West County and arrived at the River West grasslands.
In September, the grass and flowers on the grasslands had begun to wither.
After nearly a month, Oliver Sheng and his group returned to River West County.
An ancient city had risen on the grasslands, standing tall like a fortress.
Upon hearing of Oliver Sheng’s return, Finn Chen, Wesley Hu, Harrison Zhou, Qin Lin, and others came to greet him.
“General!”
Wesley Hu, Harrison Zhou, Qin Lin, and others saluted with clasped fists.
“Your Highness, you’re finally back. River West City is complete, just waiting for you to hold the completion ceremony,” Finn Chen said with a smile.
“Very good. Everyone, follow me into the city,” Oliver Sheng said with a smile, looking at his subordinates.
