The three elders of the Swift Shadow Palace stared blankly. It was as if they had been struck by a bolt of lightning. Their minds were blank, and their ears were buzzing. It was because the scene in front of them was too terrifying. It had completely exceeded their understanding.
Even if they didn’t want to believe it, couldn’t believe it, the scene in front of them already showed that the fallen bones originated from the Shadow Master.
“The Shadow Master… is gone?”
“He… he… the Shadow Master…”
“How is this possible!! How is this possible!!”
Swoosh!
Xiao Shi’s figure flashed. He arrived behind Luo Jun and Tong Binhong. The wide black cloak fluttered in the air. The darkness in the cloak was like a demon hidden in the abyss in the eyes of the three elders of the Swift Shadow Palace, making their bodies turn cold and their hearts tremble.
Judging from his position, this mysterious black-robed man seemed to be Luo Jun and Tong Binhong’s subordinate. It was as if his status was far inferior to Luo Jun and Tong Binhong. He was like Luo Jun and Tong Binhong’s thug. However, this thug was the source of the fear in the hearts of the three elders of the Swift Shadow Palace. They could no longer raise any fighting spirit.
Fear grew in their hearts bit by bit, magnified. With the Shadow Master’s death, their outcome could be imagined.
Yes, in terms of numbers, they were still three against three. However, with the strength of this mysterious Body Tempering cultivator, he would probably be able to easily kill them all alone.
Just as the three elders of the Swift Shadow Palace were pale and in despair, Luo Jun said at this moment. “Let’s make peace.”
“Hmm?” The three elders of the Swift Shadow Palace were stunned. They wondered if they had heard wrongly. According to the current situation, the other party could completely kill them all. However, Luo Jun proposed peace negotiations at this time?
“From the beginning to the end, we have never thought of destroying the Swift Shadow Palace. We just want to be independent. In fact, we can even form an alliance with you after we become independent.” Tong Binhong said at this moment.
The three elders of the Swift Shadow Palace were stunned. They don’t understand anymore. They originally thought that after the other party killed the Shadow Master, the next step would be to deal with the three of them and then annex the entire Swift Shadow Palace.
In the end, the other party proposed peace negotiations at this moment and even wanted to form an alliance with them.
What kind of method was this?
On the surface, he was a tool, but he was actually the chess player behind the scenes. Xiao Shi, who was controlling the entire chessboard, was silently paying attention to all of this. This was the arrangement he had made after weighing it.
He knew that after killing the Shadow Master, they could indeed annex the Swift Shadow Palace, but this was not the most advantageous situation for them.
Because Xiao Shi knew they still had to face other forces in Tiandou Province. Especially the other two first-tier factions.
Extreme Fire Sect, Lei Miao Monastery.
If Xiao Shi directly killed the Shadow Master of the Swift Shadow Palace and the three elders this time, the Extreme Fire Sect and the Lei Miao Monastery would definitely not let go of this opportunity.
Once they attacked the Swift Shadow Palace, with the strength of the Swift Shadow Palace, they would definitely be unable to resist.
Through Luo Jun and Tong Binhong, Xiao Shi had already learned that the reason why the Swift Shadow Palace could become a first-tier faction in the Tiandou Province was mainly because of two things.
One was the Shadow Master.
As there were no Martial Demon Realm cultivators in the Tiandou Province, the Martial Soul Realm at the Spiritual Sense Stage was already the top combat strength in the Tiandou Province.
It could be said that as long as any faction had the Martial Soul Realm at the Spiritual Sense Stage, they would definitely be able to become a first-rate faction.
The second was the trump card of the Swift Shadow Palace. It was the black shadow giant that appeared when they fought against the foreign Martial Soul Realm expert.
When the Swift Shadow Palace used this black shadow giant, this black shadow giant’s strength could even suppress a Martial Soul Realm expert at the Life Spirit Stage. However, to use this black shadow giant, he had to use the five Shadow Cities as the core and the five elders in Martial Soul Realm who controlled the five Shadow Cities to succeed.
Previously, the Swift Shadow Palace had relied on this black shadow giant to repel the foreign expert at the Life Spirit Stage. Otherwise, with the strength of that foreign expert, he could directly slaughter the Swift Shadow Palace.
After understanding this, Xiao Shi realized that he could not kill these three elders of the Swift Shadow Palace. Once he killed them, even if he occupied the Swift Shadow Palace, he would not be able to use its powerful trump card.
If the Extreme Fire Sect and Lei Miao Monastery had any thoughts about them, they would be in danger. After all, the Extreme Fire Sect and Leimiao Monastery had cultivators in the Martial Soul Realm at the Spiritual Sense Stage, and they were not injured.
Without the powerful trump card of the Swift Shadow Palace, they would not be able to contend with these two first-tier forces.
“Unfortunately, the Ancient Cang’e Tree can only control two Martial Soul Realm experts at most. Otherwise, as long as it controls all five elders of the Swift Shadow Palace, it would be perfect.” Xiao Shi shook his head.
Under the circumstances that he could only control two Martial Soul Realm elders, the best way was to form an alliance with them.
On the one hand, after the alliance between the two sides, if the Extreme Fire Sect and Lei Miao Monastery had any thoughts about them, they could let the Tree Shadow City return to its position and form the Five Shadow Cities again to use the powerful trump card of the Swift Shadow Palace.
He believed that with the black shadow giant and the Ancient Cang’e Tree, even if they did not have a Martial Soul Realm martial artist at the Spiritual Sense Stage to hold down the fort, it was more than enough to protect themselves.
On the other hand, the alliance between the two sides would definitely still be dominated by them. After all, they were the stronger party, so they would definitely be the leader. Basically, the entire Swift Shadow Palace was still under their control.
It could be said that this was the most advantageous choice at the moment. Before killing the Shadow Master, Xiao Shi had also thought of forming an alliance with them..
