“Since he has already informed me to go over, he definitely knows that I will arrive in a few minutes. At this time, he definitely won’t enter the dream world. If he wants to enter the dream world, he has to wait until i leave.”
Xiao Shi pinched his glabella. He felt that this matter was quite troublesome. Qin Mo’s death was too strange. It was difficult to deduce from conventional methods.
Although he did not have much of a relationship with Qin Mo, he knew that if he did not figure this out, he would not know if he was safe.
Was the person who killed Qin Mo related to the Lord of Xingluo? Had they already found out that Qin Mo was a member of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect? Moreover, his interaction with Qin Mo was not just to obtain the follow-up cultivation method of the Red Tiger lineage from him.
He wanted to take this opportunity to join them and understand more about the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect.
But now Qin Mo is dead. Although Xiao Shi had obtained the subsequent cultivation method, he no longer had the chance to interact with the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect.
Just as Xiao Shi was vexed, the emerald jade in his hand suddenly emitted a fluctuation. It seemed to be calling out to him. It urged him to enter the dream world.
“It seems like I can also enter the dream world through this jade and meet the other members of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect.” Xiao Shi was a little hesitant. He didn’t know if he should go in.
In the pitch-black dream world, weak spots of light lit up one after another. They turned into seven dazzling figures of light that emitted light. The leading figure of light glanced at everyone. He took a deep look at the light spot that originally belonged to Qin Mo but was not lit up and said in a low voice. “Something has happened! Mo Hu, he…”
Before he could finish his sentence, the light spot that originally belonged to Qin Mo suddenly lit up. It formed a dazzling figure of light.
After some hesitation, Xiao Shi still chose to enter the dream. Everyone’s gazes immediately converged on the figure of light that Xiao Shi had transformed into. One of the figures of light spoke. “Mo Hu, you came at the right time. Gui Wu just mentioned you, you… Eh? No! You’re not Mo Hu!!”
The figure of light snapped. Everyone was shocked. They looked at the figure of light that Xiao Shi had transformed into. Although he could not see the other party’s figure and appearance, they had a unique aura in the dream world. They clearly sensed that although Xiao Shi and Qin Mo’s auras were a little similar, they were different.
Xiao Shi looked at the seven figures of light in front of him. He could also sense that the auras of the seven figures of light were different. He knew that the seven of them were the seven members of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect in the Xingluo Province.
“Everyone, 1 believe you can all feel that I’m also a member of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect.” Xiao Shi said. He sensed the auras of the seven figures of light, Xiao Shi could also sense that there was the same aura between him and them.
This was an aura that only the members of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect could sense. It was impossible to disguise. It could not be faked either.
The seven figures of light remained silent. They naturally knew that the other party was a member of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect. Only the members of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect could use this jade stone that had entered the dream.
Which meant, even if the dream jade fell into the hands of the Lord of Xingluo, he would not be able to enter this dream through the jade. Only the members of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect could enter.
“Why is Mo Hu’s jade in your hands?” One of them asked.
“I came here to tell everyone that Mo Hu… is dead.” Xiao Shi said in a low voice.
The Mo Hu these people were talking about was Qin Mo. When they heard this, all of them had strong emotional fluctuations.
“… How did he die?!” A figure of light asked sternly.
Xiao Shi immediately told them in detail what he had seen previously. However, he hid the information that would expose his and Qin Mo’s identities. For example, Qin Mo was an elder and he was a disciple.
There was a rule among these members of Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect that they could not reveal their identities in the Xingluo Province. This was not a matter of trust between them. It was because of their status in the Xingluo Province. It was the foundation of their survival here.
If any of them unfortunately fell into the hands of the lord, once they knew each other’s identities, the lord would be able to find out the identities of all of them through soul searching.
Therefore, from the beginning, they set a rule that they could not reveal their identities in the Xingluo Province. This way, even if any of them fell into the hands of the lord, he was also unable to find out the identities of the others.
The reason why Xiao Shi decided to see them this time was because he wanted to understand Qin Mo’s strange death through them. After all, these Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect’s disciples were stronger than him.
The weakest among them was at the Martial Soul Realm at the spiritual sense stage. There were even Martial Demon Realm existences among them. He believed that at their level, they would definitely be able to see some information that he did not know.
Now that the seven of them knew about Qin Mo’s death, they fell into deep thought.
“In that case, it’s very likely that Mo Hu died…” One of the figures of light was speaking.
Suddenly, he was stopped by another figure of light and did not let him continue. The figure of light stared at Xiao Shi. “Why should we believe you?” “Because I’m also from the Red Tiger lineage!” Xiao Shi said in a low voice. “My identity is the best proof.”
“Identity? That’s not enough.” The figure of light shook its head. “How do we know if you’re not the bait released by the lord of Xingluo Territory? Ever since you met Mo Hu, I’ve already felt very strange. There are so many of us, but you just had to encounter Mo Hu, who’s of the same lineage as you?
“Then, not long after you met Mo Hu, Mo Hu died. How can there be such a coincidence in the world? Once Mo Hu died, you immediately contacted us through the Dream Jade in his hand. Aren’t you too anxious?”
The words of this figure of light made the other figures of light, who were deep in thought, react. They immediately stopped thinking about the cause of Mo Hu’s death that Xiao Shi had revealed previously.
This guy in front of him could also be the person who killed Mo Hu. After all, Mo Hu had told them before that he was prepared to summon this person from the Red Tiger lineage. Now, he had died after being summoned.
This was too much of a coincidence!
No matter how he looked at it, this fellow from the Red Tiger lineage was the most suspicious person. If he was the bait of the lord, then his encounter with Mo Hu was not a coincidence. The lord must have known Mo Hu’s identity in advance, so he sent this bait to pretend to have met him by chance and get close to Mo Hu to get rid of him!
Then, he would replace Mo Hu with his identity as a Red Tiger and approach them. He would find an opportunity to fish them out one by one.
Thinking of this, these figures of light all glared at Xiao Shi angrily and warily.
Xiao Shi had already become the greatest suspect in their hearts. He frowned at this. Before he decided to enter the dream world, he had thought that these people would suspect him. But he felt that his identity as a member of the Red Tiger lineage was enough to prove his innocence.
He didn’t expect that even the identity of the Red Tiger bloodline would be suspicious. If they could see their cultivation levels in the dream world, his suspicion would naturally be lifted. After all, with his Blood Martial Realm cultivation, it was impossible for him to kill Qin Mo, who was at the Martial Soul Realm.
However, in the dream world, he could only sense their auras and could not see their cultivation levels. This made it difficult for Xiao Shi to argue.
“In any case, you’re the most suspicious now. If you want to prove your innocence, you have to stay here.” The figure of light in front said coldly.
“What does it mean?” Xiao Shi frowned.
“It means… you have to stay in this dream and wait for us to find out the truth!” The figure of light said. He did not allow Xiao Shi to refuse. He raised his hand and pressed down. Many black tentacles suddenly stretched out from the dark dream world and firmly grabbed Xiao Shi’s body, not letting him leave and wanting to leave him in this dream.
As a method of the Dream Witch lineage of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect, this dream world did not only have the ability to meet anonymously..
