After all, a Mage King had tried to kill him,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>which meant that the Lightning Manor was probably putting a lot of pressure on the Judgment Palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After seeing that the two barriers had vanished, Shang decided to check up on the other barriers around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was when he saw the Attack Flag to the north.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the first non-hostile human contact in a thousand years, except for that little run-in with the Custodian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang had spent nearly 50% of his entire life in this war.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A thousand years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet, he felt no different from before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In these 1,000 years, the only thing that had changed was Shang's power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything else had stayed the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, how did Shang feel toward friendly human contact after so long?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ambivalent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uncaring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neutral.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn't matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang waited beside his Defender Flag until the countdown was over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eventually, a group of people entered Shang's territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang could see them from quite far away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were ten people, all of them in the Sixth Realm, two per level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surprisingly, there were also two warriors among them, and Shang could even tell that these warriors were not weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He estimated that they had threefold Spirit Senses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, there was one person that surprised Shang even more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was someone at the Peak Sixth Realm, and his Aura was quite unique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shockingly, he had the Aura of an Ancestral Mage but also the Aura of a warrior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mind seemed powerful, and his body also seemed powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang felt like this man was on the cusp of getting a fourfold Spirit Sense. He was very close to becoming a Cloud, but he wasn't quite there yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The people were following this man, making it apparent that he was their leader.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man carried a spear on his back that had the same markings as a Focus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'A weapon that also acts as a Focus?' Shang thought with some surprise. 'A lot must have happened in my absence.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the group reached a distance of 1,500 kilometers, they stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could finally see the Ancestral Hero.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only one person amongst them had seen him before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a while, the group just looked at the distant Shang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To them, Shang stood unarmed and alone on top of a mountain. His old white robes were slightly dancing in the wind, almost like he was a ghost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, his Aura was the most shocking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was so... lifeless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neutral.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unnoticeable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of this would make one think that Shang's Aura was very normal, but the opposite was actually true.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang's Aura felt like something ethereal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every Aura had some characteristics. An Aura was like a colorful pattern of someone's personality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, Shang's Aura felt like a patternless, white circle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was nothing to observe or learn from it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He seemed like something that shouldn't be alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bit like an Abomination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He's nothing like you described him,\" one of the Mages told their leader.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He's changed quite a bit,\" the leader said with a confident chuckle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The leader looked at Shang with a confident smirk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang's head slowly turned to look at the leader.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, the leader felt like a powerful Abomination was looking at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The leader was three levels above Shang and also extremely talented, but Shang still felt like a brutal monster to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The force of Shang's Aura wasn't easy to resist, but the smirk of the leader only widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you that surprised to see me again, Shang?\" the leader asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other people awkwardly watched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their leader had told them that he knew the Ancestral Hero, but the Ancestral Hero's reaction seemed quite different from what they had expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their leader had made it seem like they were old friends, but the Ancestral Hero's Aura didn't feel friendly at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt more like the Aura of someone that wants to kill someone else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang just looked at the leader for several seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The leader was wearing a formfitting purple set of plate armor. It seemed very robust but also flexible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spear had several flowing designs on it, but its head was jagged like a lightning bolt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man had white hair, and he appeared to be filled with confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Agon,\" Shang slowly said, the tone of his voice cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's my name,\" Agon Skythunder said. \"What an honor to have the Ancestral Hero call my name.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, Agon's voice was filled with sarcasm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the other people heard Shang's voice, it finally dawned on them that Shang was a human. His Aura had still been a bit confusing to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a second, Shang turned his head away from the distant group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You were the one that told Jerald,\" Shang said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Agon chuckled a bit. \"I am, yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang remained silent for a couple of seconds as old memories shot through his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The powerful King Skythunder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one who had told Jerald about Shang's deepest secret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This had caused a lot of worries for Jerald, which ultimately culminated in his decision to confront and kill Shang, assuming he didn't have a great reason to endanger the entire world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Agon hadn't said a thing, nothing would have happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a way, Agon was part of the reason why Shang had killed Jerald.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After thinking about all of these things, Shang transmitted something to Agon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Without you, I might not be alive today. Jerald was a hidden danger, and without your help, I might not have gotten rid of it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I presume I have to thank you,\" Shang transmitted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Agon just smirked. \"Is that your decision?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang didn't immediately answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's the plan?\" Shang asked the group.\u003C\u002Fp>",1027,"2026-06-06T04:07:23.276Z",1,"novelbin.me","f62679d3ee701ce6da254a82460f90b1d51b84b8b07ff7b2d235e30401affe16","sword-god-in-a-world-of-magic-chapter-848","sword-god-in-a-world-of-magic-chapter-846",1033,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsword-god-in-a-world-of-magic-cover.jpg"]
