Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Xiang Zizhen shook his head. “I don’t know the exact situation either. Usually, every priest of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect can only master two powers at most. What I master is the power of the Dream Witch line and the Mountain God line.
“I’m not too sure about the Red Tiger lineage and the Evil Ghost lineage. However, Master once said that the four branches of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect are special in the Martial Soul Realm.
“For example, the Mountain God’s lineage will show its specialness during the Soul Awakening Stage. However, the Evil Ghost lineage has to reach the Life Spirit Stage to show its specialness.”
Xiao Shi was enlightened. He began to think about the special characteristics of the Red Tiger lineage. From his current situation, Xiao Shi felt that the specialness of the Red Tiger lineage seemed to be the clone formed by the Red Tiger Soul.
However, the reason why he could form such a clone was his Red Tiger Totem had once undergone an atavistic transformation under the omniscient fire of the Extreme Fire Sect. The first clone he formed started from that time.
Unfortunately, Qin Mo died early and didn’t have the chance to ask him if he could do the same.
“How can 1 help him?” Xiao Shi asked. His current identity was, after all, a jailer in Prison City. The jailers also couldn’t leave Prison City casually.
“I’ll find a way to transfer you over.” Xiang Zizhen said. “I’m not worried about anything else. What I’m most worried about is that the trouble at the Barbarian Ghost’s place is too great. It might exceed your range of ability.
“You have to remember that no matter what the situation is, safety comes first. If this matter has already exceeded your ability, don’t try to show off. discuss it with me first.”
If not for his identity, he would not have been able to move. Xiang Zizhen wanted to help him even more. With his strength and cultivation, it would definitely be easier for him to deal with this matter than Xiao Shi.
But he had no choice. His identity was obvious. As a Martial Demon Realm expert, he held an important position in the Xingluo Army. His every move was watched by the entire Xingluo Province. He could only leave this matter to Xiao Shi.
Xiao Shi was not too worried about this. When he came to the Xingluo Province, he had already gained a certain understanding of every member of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect through Wu Muzhen. He knew that the strength of the Barbarian Ghost was at the spiritual sense stage. Now, he seemed to be undergoing the advancement at the Life Spirit Stage. It was not to the extent that he could not interfere in the trouble at this stage.
Immediately, Xiang Zizhen brought the Barbarian Ghost into the dream world again.
“Barbarian Ghost, perhaps Howling Tiger can help with your matter.” Xiang Zizhen said. He was mainly acting as a middleman now. After all, Xiao Shi and the Barbarian Ghost were not from the Dream Witch lineage. They needed him as a middleman to chat privately in the dream world.
“Really?!” When the Barbarian Ghost heard this, he immediately perked up.
“Tell me about yourself.” Xiao Shi asked directly.
Xiang Zizhen tactfully left the dream world at this moment. Only Xiao Shi and the Barbarian Ghost were left.
Barbarian Ghost pondered for a moment. He said, “It’s like this. My identity in the Xingluo Province is actually the Ancient Nether Sect’s Guardian of the Three Sword Alliance. Recently, our Ancient Nether Sect has discovered an important ancient ruin in the Xingluo Province. There are many rare treasures and powerful souls in this ancient ruin.
“However, because of a traitor in our Ancient Nether Sect, the news leaked, causing the Temple of Prayer to receive the news. Currently, the Temple of Prayer is fighting with us for this ancient ruin. The exact situation can’t be explained in a few words.
“The most troublesome thing is that I’ve been targeted! 1 can’t enter the ancient ruins. And in this ancient ruin, there’s a key item for me to break through to the Life Spirit Stage. If 1 miss this opportunity, 1 don’t know when I will have the chance to break through to the Life Spirit Stage. Therefore, I need a trusted helper who can help me go to the ancient ruins and obtain what I need.”
Xiao Shi nodded. He had a certain understanding of the Three Sword Alliance and the Temple of Prayer in the Xingluo Province. He knew that these two factions were the second-tier factions in the Xingluo Province, second only to the Xingluo Army. It was even stronger than the third-tier factions like the Qianqi Mountain and the Mo Yu Chamber of Commerce.
An ancient ruin that could cause two large factions to compete was definitely not simple.
“I need to know more about this ancient site.” Xiao Shi said.
“No problem!”
That day, after Xiao Shi learned a lot of information from the Barbarian Ghost, he immediately conveyed this information to Xiang Zizhen. “Mysterious ancient ruin?” Xiang Zizhen was deep in thought.
“Do you know the origin of this mysterious ancient ruin?” Xiao Shi’s heart skipped a beat.
Currently, the Three Sword Alliance and the Temple of Prayer were somewhat uncertain about the origin of this mysterious ancient ruin. One had to enter the ancient ruins to explore before they could know the relevant origins of this ancient ruin.
However, they were now in a stalemate. People from both factions could not enter this ancient ruin.
“Ancient ruins… are actually not very common in the entire Tianwu Continent. Most ancient ruins often date back to the dynasty before the Great Wu Empire. However, such an ancient ruin is extremely valuable.
“It seems that although the Three Sword Alliance and the Temple of Prayer are in a deadlock over this matter, they have tacitly sealed off the news. If the lord finds out about this ancient ruin, 1 believe they won’t get anything valuable. Therefore, no matter what the final outcome is, both sides will not announce it. This is a good opportunity.” Xiang Zizhen analyzed.
“As for the dangers inside… Although we know that there are some rare treasures and powerful souls inside according to the preliminary exploration of the Three Sword Alliance, this is only the outside of the ancient ruins.
“No one knows what exists in the depths of the ancient ruins. It’s not impossible for you to go in and help Barbarian Ghost get what he needs, but remember not to go deep into the ancient ruins, let alone be greedy.
“It’s best to get what Barbarian Ghost needs and leave immediately. In such an ancient ruin, the most dangerous thing is actually greed. If you see some precious treasures inside and become greedy, it’s very likely that you won’t be able to leave.”
Xiao Shi nodded. He was not worried about this. With his stability, he was not the kind of person who would not be able to walk when he saw a treasure.
Besides, he had a great resistance to treasures. Whether it was the loot from his kills along the way or the treasures in the Myriad Treasure Pagoda. The treasures he had seen were not something ordinary people could compare to. His “resistance” to treasures was far stronger than ordinary people. He would definitely not be rash just because he saw a certain treasure.
“I’ll arrange for you to be transferred over as soon as possible. In the meantime, try your best to increase your strength and make more preparations.”
After deciding to help the Barbarian Ghost,
Xiao Shi began to make preparations. What he was mainly considering now was whether he needed to let his main body enter the ancient ruins. The advantage of entering the ancient ruins with the main body was that the main body’s strength was much stronger than the clone.
Be it the items on him or the various methods, the main body had an advantage over the clone. The disadvantage was instability. Once the main body died inside, he would really die. But at the same time, if he entered the ancient site with his avatar, once his avatar died in the ancient site, he would also lose his status as Wang Xiao.
In the future, if he wanted to come into contact with Xiang Zizhen again, he would have to expose the fact that he had a clone.
After thinking about it, Xiao Shi felt that perhaps the main body was more suitable than the clone to enter the ancient ruins this time.
On one hand, he was very confident in the strength of his main body. On the other hand, if he entered the ancient ruins with his main body, the gains would definitely be greater than his avatar.
Using a clone to do things was mostly because of his identity. It was very likely that he would be the only one in the ancient ruins this time. Then, there would be no problem of his identity being exposed.
But before that, he still had to ensure that he had enough means to escape. Even if he encountered danger, he could successfully escape.
“There’s still time. I can take advantage of these few days to kill a few Martial Soul Realm experts in prison and accumulate a wave of items before going over.” Xiao Shi thought to himself..
