My Cultivation Starting from Archery-Chapter 613 - 208: Western Expedition, Attack the Immortal!

"Buzz—"

Through the Ancient Transmission Array,

He returned to the ends of the earth.

After confirming there was no issue with the Jingshen Fruit, Chen Sansi breathed a sigh of relief, albeit with some complications; fortunately, the item was obtained.

He didn't go straight to Wei Xuan with the fish that cleanses the soul to exchange for the fruit after leaving Chiling Mountain.

Because Wei Xuan's reward was public knowledge.

Once he got his hands on it, it wouldn't take long for everyone to know.

In such a scenario, going to the black market would be like walking into trouble with a gold brick, and it wasn't on the way either. So, he decided to go shopping first, planning to complete the transaction when leaving the workshop and then leave as quickly as possible. As a result, he wasn't targeted, but Wei Xuan was—by the Law Enforcement Deacon of the Law Enforcement Hall.

These cultivators...

They're even worse than bandits.

Chen Sansi looked back and saw the dimly lit Ancient Transmission Array; he could confirm that no one would be chasing after him anytime soon.

The sealing of this world was shaking but still existed. The cultivators of Heavenly Water Continent could not massively invade the Eastern Continent unless they used specific times when the seals were loosened or relied on the Jade Tokens of the Ancient Transmission Array.

In fact,

During this trip, he observed that the cultivators of the Cultivation World had always been doing this.

The Cultivation World is vast and boundless, not limited to the Daze Fang City he saw and the various sects mentioned by Old Man Li—there must be many of them, surely finding ways to enter the Divine Continent to look for so-called Spirit Veins.

If they found anything, they would definitely stir up trouble in the Eastern Continent.

Moreover, judging by their hefty rewards, it is quite possible they have already discovered something.

"Why are you covered in a stench of blood?"

Zhaozhao, who was arranged to wait near the Transmission Array, looked behind to see if there were pursuers, asking, "Did you kill someone?"

"Yes."

This trip to Daze Fang City,

Had made Chen Sansi somewhat notorious. If he wanted to come back and buy things, he would need to change his appearance again.

After leaving the ends of the earth,

He made his way back to Nanxu Small City and regrouped with Qin Changxu and others.

"Lord Governor,"

Qin Changxu reported, "There's been trouble!"

"Is it related to Immortals?" Chen Sansi guessed.

"How did you know, Lord Governor?" Qin Changxu was slightly surprised and then informed, "Shortly after you went to the ends of the earth, I received news from Beiliang that the West Qi Kingdom, in alliance with many Immortal Masters, invaded our Great Sheng Dynasty from the west side of Mu State, and then they pressed straight into Luozhou."

"Mu State's Great Wall is sturdy and has sufficient troops. If I remember correctly, after the turmoil at Ziwei Mountain, a newly advanced Martial Saint was sent to keep watch over it. How could it fall in such a short amount of time? Was it because of Immortals too?"

"Exactly."

Qin Changxu answered, "According to the intelligence reports, it was simply unwinnable. West Qi Kingdom's troops included Immortals who could do Sword Flight, even launching beheading operations in the dead of night, killing the Generals and then flying away, leaving our soldiers completely helpless. Plus, after several years of West Qi's meticulous preparations, the depletion from the previous turmoil in Ming State has basically recovered seventy to eighty percent, and this time, they gathered the might of their entire nation, claiming to have five hundred thousand troops in an imposing manner."

"The battlefronts at Mu State and Luozhou are indeed peculiar,"

Chen Sansi inquired, "Altogether, the West Border Eight States have an army of two hundred thousand under the Commander's standard. Are they still in the process of maneuvering? Has there been any movement from the Liangzhou Army?"

"Most of the Beiliang Army has been deployed to the East!"

Qin Changxu said, "Dongqing is also amassing a large force once again, pressing into the border at all costs, with the so-called assistance of Immortal Masters; Nan Xu is no exception. In the places ahead, they have already clashed several times with forces under Prince Zhen Nan."

Dongqing.

Shen Guiti?

Chen Sansi mulled over it in his mind.

Having just driven off the barbarians, the countries from the East, West, and South had all emerged in full force.

This could only mean one thing.

The Spirit Veins had been found.

And most likely, right within the territory of the Great Sheng Dynasty.

According to the rules of the Cultivation World, whichever power can occupy the territory when the Spirit Veins resurge, that power owns the Spirit Veins. This is why there's such a great upheaval affecting the entire world.

The Immortals had shifted a war that should've been theirs onto the mortals' shoulders.

No matter the outcome of this war, it would be a great drain on the national strength of the countries involved. All of this would have to be borne by the common people.

"The Beiliang Army has gone eastward."

Chen Sansi strategized, "What sort of plans does the court have for me?"

"Nothing as of now."

Qin Changxu's intelligence was detailed, "They say that at the beginning of the war, they wanted to ask for strategic advice from the Commander, but when they learned that you were in retreat, they did not disturb you further."

"At present, only the Hongze Camp remains stationed in Liangzhou City."

"The rest of the Beiliang Army, led by General Lyu, Pei Tiannan, and others, is confronting Dongqing."

"This means..."

Chen Sansi joked, "My retreat and non-participation in the battle not only didn't result in the court urging me to end my retreat, but they seem quite supportive of my continued seclusion."

"Currently, this does seem to be the case," frёeωebɳovel.com

Qin Changxu cautiously said, "Would it be okay for me to share my opinion?"

"What's there to ask? You may speak your mind,"

Chen Sansi led the horse forward, "Just speak freely."

"The court doesn't want to continue seeing you gain more merits,"

Qin Changxu said gravely, "Lord Governor, at just over twenty years of age, you're already Champion Marquis; with your current position, if you continue gaining merits, there'd be nothing left to bestow upon you."

"The court does not aim to stop using you,

"But rather..."

"They dare not rely on you anymore."

"Whether they use me is of no concern to me,"

Chen Sansi said, "I'm just worried about the west ultimately running into trouble. Who, specifically, is West Qi's commander? Tell me in detail."

"The nominal commander is Zhong Wuxin. Lord Governor, you might have come across him before in Ming State. But the true leader of West Qi this time is the 'Military Immortal,'"
