Shang traveled to the southeast of the Empire once again, but this time, not to defend.
Shortly before Shang arrived, he took out his Transmission Medal.
"I am now at the Initial Sword Lord Realm," Shang said. "I can kill Mid Mage Lord Clouds without issues, but to keep my identity hidden, I would suggest only attacking weak Mid Mage Lords or Early Mage Lord Clouds."
"Young Master Shang, how nice to hear from you!" came the voice of the Starlight Queen. "I must extend my deepest gratitude for deciding to help us again after only a couple of centuries!"
"Forget it," Shang said. "I'll come back in a century."
Then, Shang cut the connection and moved toward the north again.
His Transmission Medal began to ring again, but Shang ignored it.
Instead, Shang entered his Isolation Barrier again and decided to refine his techniques, including Sword Blood.
