Mojito Mansion.

Zhong Shenxiu retracted his gaze, rubbed his eyes, and dried the blood that had trickled down.

Peering into the battlefield of the Corpse-Resolved Immortal always came with a price.

"Was the previous attack by the three great Dharma Bodies just to verify certain things, such as the existence of a cursed object transformed by the 'unique divinity'? And the highest combat power of the Clement Kingdom?"

"Now that the Corpse-Resolved Immortal has made a move, the real terror begins…"

"Furthermore, the reinforcements from the Enrique Kingdom and the Bauhinia Kingdom have yet to arrive, clearly being held back... The Second Yan Han Empire is taking this rare opportunity to reconcile the court, sects, and the conflict between good and evil, deploying most of its strength…"

Setting aside the regular military forces, it's an easy task for those high-ranking extraordinary ones to traverse millions of miles and descend directly.

But now, they can't.

Either they wish to watch the fall of the Clement Kingdom, or they've been entangled by other powerhouses.

Such as… other Corpse-Resolved Immortals from the East!

"Hmm... the Clement Kingdom possesses an ancient relic of the Old Gods. It's very likely that the other two kingdoms have them as well, and perhaps Corpse-Resolved Immortals have already set their sights on them…"

Zhong Shenxiu drained the red wine in his glass and suddenly stood up: "It's time to act."

The others in the room had already been taken into the Wuji Pearl, so there was no concern for their safety.

And Kerr, who hadn't managed to arrive yet, could only be considered mocked by fate, missing this chance of escape.

Zhong Shenxiu had protected him several times, but he would not be a nanny forever.

With that thought, he shed his disguise as Li Wei Mojito and returned to his appearance as an Eastern cultivator, casting the Five Elements Heavenly Escape and melding into the ground, vanishing from sight.

His target was the Royal Palace, the treasure of the Medici Family!

"Hmm... since my time at the Fufeng Protector Mansion, I've gained many benefits from the side branches of the Medici Family, the Felix Family. I have a destiny with this house."

On his way there, Zhong Shenxiu also sensed quite a few fluctuations of spell battles.

These were high-ranking cultivators bypassing the defenses to engage in magical warfare with Western extraordinaries in various districts of Kaleston.

Fighting on enemy territory meant having no concerns, unreservedly unleashing any powerful spell one desired.

If not for the blessing previously bestowed upon the entire city by the Holy Seat, Medlin, the city would have likely perished hundreds of times over due to the cultivators' battles.

Even so, citizens directly hit by spells still inevitably met with death.

This might well be the punishment for the kingdom's decision to launch the war first!

…

Black Phoenix Palace.

This is the Holy Land in the hearts of all members of the Medici Family, the nucleus of the entire kingdom.

Now, outside the palace walls, Zhong Shenxiu's figure slowly emerged: "Unable to directly escape into it... to block my escape technique, the ancient family truly deserves its reputation, still possessing some things…"

"An invader!"

The piercing alarm sounded directly in the vicinity.

After all, at the moment the Eastern army was attacking the capital, seeing an Eastern cultivator suddenly appear outside the Royal Palace, even a fool would understand there was a problem.

"Prepare to shoot!"

Behind the fortress and barricades, numerous soldiers, 'controlled' by a voice, fired mysterious bullets from their gun chambers.

These bullets were enhanced with alchemy for added lethality, a volley capable of wounding a 5th-tier extraordinary person.

This was because the soldiers, apart from alchemical bullets, also received mystic blessings.

They came from a [Controller]!

Even more so, Zhong Shenxiu recognized this person as an acquaintance—'the Near-God' Klado Tisamo!

A high-ranking church official who had appeared in the dispute over the shroud!

"Only sixth-rank extraordinaries? It seems the royal family and the church have truly dispatched most of their forces to the front lines…"

Countless bullets fell beside Zhong Shenxiu, directly dissolved by a layer of Nine Pure Celestial Light, leaving not the slightest trace.

"Stop your footsteps!"

In front of the palace gate on the square, Klado Tisamo, dressed in a priestly robe, held a pendant in his hand, his voice stern.

In an instant, Zhong Shenxiu felt his body somewhat out of control, as if another spirit was attempting to interfere.

"Heh heh…"

He let out a cold laugh, tossing out a yellow gourd, and shouted, "Turn around, my treasure!"

Crack!

A tremendous white Sword Qi surged to the sky, like a collapsing sword peak, thunderously smashing down.

Thousands of sharp, unmatched Sword Qi burst forth, shredding the defending army to pieces, bodies severed in multitude.

Sword Qi stretched thirty thousand miles, one sword's chill spanned nineteen provinces!

Klado Tisamo's forehead deeply furrowed as he struggled to 'control' the Sword Qi around him, ensuring they did no harm to himself.

Meanwhile, the pendant in his hand suddenly released a layer of blood-colored radiance.

This too was a formidable cursed artifact, activated by the church for this war, capable of rapidly replenishing his spiritual essence, healing any fatal wounds.

"Easterners... you will pay for your actions!"

He roared, as black-knight figures emerged behind him.

"Heh heh!"

Zhong Shenxiu continued with his cold laughter, casting streaks of Nine Heavens Secret Prayer Demon Light.

With an Ancient Seven Flames Flag in one hand, he released infinite Spirit Flame, seemingly intending to reduce the magnificent Royal Palace to ashes in one sweep.

In his other hand, he held the Heavenly Demon Banner, with a slight shake, infinite demonic heads fell, indiscriminately slaughtering and destroying everything in sight.

Inside the main entrance of the Royal Palace.

Zhong Shenxiu, in white robes, looked back at Klado Tisamo, who was still battling with the second Primordial Spirit, and sneered, "I came for treasure, not to slaughter. What good comes from this entanglement?"

"Alas... it seems 'Damp Bone Forest' is ultimately fated to elude me."

He silently walked past gardens, through long corridors, and across banquet halls…

The scurrying guards, the beautiful palace maids, all ignored his presence as if he were invisible.

"The most secure areas in the Royal Palace are troublesome to breach, easily surrounded and attacked…"

Zhong Shenxiu earnestly decided not to attempt breaking through the more formidable defenses but instead arrived at a side hall.

Stepping into the grand hall, he immediately saw the seated extraordinary.

He was an old man with grizzled beard and hair, guarding in front of a large black door, already possessing the power of the fifth rank.

"You…"

He had scarcely uttered a word when Zhong Shenxiu flicked his finger casually, releasing a Great Five Elements Annihilation Light that pierced through the head, turning the entire body into a torch.

Zhong Shenxiu approached the large black door, sensing a powerful seal.

Within the seemingly cold black iron, there lurked a terrifying temperature that could burn a person alive.

Merely touching it felt like experiencing a powerful flame.

On the door, there were also ancient scratches depicting several strange and mystical symbols.

"A furnace? Are the Medici Family still trying to offer sacrifices and prayers to this entity?"

Zhong Shenxiu's eyebrows raised as he made a judgment based on his knowledge.
