Chapter 536: Imperial Domain (2)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
One was the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect. As the former Divine Protector Sect of the Great Wu Empire, the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect had always been loyal to the Great Wu Empire.
Even though the Martial Emperor had fallen and the imperial power of the Great Wu Empire had collapsed, even though many organizations that had once belonged to the Great Wu Empire had left the Great Wu Empire one after another, the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect had always maintained an unwavering attitude. It was still the Divine Protectorate of the Great Wu Empire.
The second was the royal guards. The Royal Guard was a powerful organization personally established by the Martial Emperor. The purpose of the royal guards’ existence was to protect the Martial Emperor’s descendants. The royal guards had always been the most mysterious existence in the Great Wu Empire. They hid in the dark. No one knew how many people they had, nor did anyone know their strength and cultivation. They only knew that such a powerful organization existed in the Great Wu Empire.
Apart from the prince, no one could come into contact with them. When the Great Wu Empire was strong, the duty of the royal guards was mainly to protect the safety of the Martial Emperor’s descendants.
But now, apart from ensuring the safety of the current prince, they would also be assigned by the prince to carry out some secret and important missions.
The third organization was the martial pavilion. Be it the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect or the royal guards, they were all factions left behind from the Martial Emperor era. The martial pavilion was a new faction established by the prince after he took power.
It was in charge of many matters in the Imperial Domain. If the responsibility of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect in the Imperial Domain was mainly to outsiders, in that case, the existence of the martial pavilion was to manage the various internal affairs of the Imperial Domain and deal with them.
The Four Symbols City they were currently in was the main city in Xiang Zizhen’s master’s domain. Apart from them, the other disciples of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect were also teleported to this main city.
A ray of light suddenly whistled over from afar. She turned into a woman in a white robe. Her appearance was beautiful, her skin was fair, and her eyes were bright and clear. She did not put on any makeup, and her face exuded an innocence and simpleness that was far from ostentatious.
After her gaze swept across Xiang Zizhen and Xiao Shi, she focused on Xiang Zizhen. Her voice was pleasant to the ears. “You’re Junior Brother Xiang, right? I’m your Second Senior Sister. Master ordered you to see him immediately.”
Xiang Zizhen immediately greeted her respectfully. “Yes, Second Senior Sister.”
Xiao Shi also greeted her respectfully at the side. As the only priest of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect who was still alive, Xiang Zizhen’s master was the most experienced, had the highest status, and was the strongest existence in the entire Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect.
The other party did not only have a disciple like Xiang Zizhen. There were also three other disciples in the Imperial Domain. Including Xiang Zizhen, the four of them were the priests of the Church of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect. Their status was far higher than Xiao Shi and the other disciples.
Before he left, Xiang Zizhen looked at Xiao Shi. He was about to ask the other party how to arrange Xiao Shi when Xiang Zizhen’s Second Senior Sister said, “This disciple is from the Red Tiger lineage, right? Don’t worry, someone will come to welcome him later. Let’s go. Don’t let Master wait too long.”
Xiang Zizhen frowned slightly. He felt that the other party had neglected Xiao Shi by treating him like this. She was completely dismissing Xiao Shi as an ordinary disciple. The others did not know Xiao Shi’s situation, but he knew better than anyone that Xiao Shi was the greatest contributor this time. Even if Xiao Shi had given all the credit to him now, he should not be treated like this.
Xiang Zizhen was about to say something when he saw Xiao Shi shake his head at him. Only then did he hold back from saying anything. He could only follow the other party to see his master first.
Xiao Shi was not uncomfortable by the other party’s treatment. This feeling of being treated as invisible was what he wanted the most. He was glad that he did not meet the other party’s master with Xiang Zizhen as soon as he arrived.
With the other party’s status, it was not something that could be seen casually. Although Xiao Shi did not know what realm the current ruler of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect was in, he knew that the other party was definitely above the Sage Realm.
If the other party saw him, it was very likely that he would be directly exposed that he was a clone here.
“Next, I need to think of a way to change my clone.”
Xiao Shi felt that Wang Xiao could already be eliminated. On the one hand, the strength of this avatar could no longer keep up with him. On the other hand, it might be seen through by those experts.
The simplest solution was to use a treasure that could change the appearance of his main body or the Evil to Wang Xiao. This way, he could secretly change his body without attracting any attention.
Although the Evil was an avatar, this avatar was fundamentally different from Wang Xiao. There was no need to worry that those experts would see through it. After all, the Evil was his Life Spirit to begin with. It was even to the extent that it was not an exaggeration to consider this to be his other body.
On the item that changed his appearance, Xiao Shi had changed his figure and appearance through medicinal pills. However, this change was too low-end. He could not hide it from those experts. What he needed was something that those experts in the Upper Three Realms could not see through his disguise. He would have to go to the Myriad Treasure Pagoda to search later.
After Xiao Shi waited here for a while, a white-haired old farmer with dark wrinkles on his face and a burly figure came to welcome Xiao Shi. The old man belonged to the Mountain God’s lineage. He was only at the Blood Martial Realm. He was very enthusiastic and friendly to Xiao Shi.
As he led Xiao Shi into the Four Symbols City, he introduced the situation of the entire Four Symbols City to Xiao Shi.
Four Symbols City was incomparably huge. It was larger than any city Xiao Shi had seen before.
In the Four Symbols City, the four lineages, Evil Ghost, Red Tiger, Dream Witch, and Mountain God, each had their own region. However, the four lineages got along well. There was no rapprochement. Even if they appeared in each other’s area, they would be warmly received and not rejected.
Now, the old man had brought Xiao Shi to the Four Symbols City, an area that belonged to the Red Tiger lineage. The people in this area were basically all from the Red Tiger lineage. This was also the first time Xiao Shi had seen so many people from the Red Tiger lineage. The people from the Red Tiger Sect who had teleported here earlier than him were also placed here.
The old man brought Xiao Shi to the leader of the Red Tiger lineage. The greatest power structure of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect was Xiang Zizhen’s master, Chen Yuan. Next were his four disciples, who were the four priests of the Church. Below these four priests were the four leaders of the Four Symbols. In the end, it was ordinary disciples like Xiao Shi.
The leader of the Red Tiger lineage was a tall middle-aged man with red eyebrows, red pupils, and red hair. His temperament was ostentatious and domineering. His cultivation was at the peak of the Martial Demon Realm.
When the leader of the Red Tiger lineage saw Xiao Shi, his eyes immediately lit up.
“Little brother, you’re the Patriarch of the Red Tiger Sect in the Xingluo Territory, right? You did very well! Better than anyone else!” He praised him sincerely.
Xiao Shi knew that the other party was referring to his treatment of the Red Tiger Sect. Clearly, after the Red Tiger Sect was teleported here, the other party had already obtained some understanding from the Red Tiger Sect.
This leader was a bold person. At the same time, he valued his followers very much. He admired people like him who protected their subordinates.
“Greetings, Leader.” Xiao Shi immediately greeted him.
“You and I don’t have to be so polite!” The leader of the Red Tiger lineage waved his hand. He sighed. “Although there have been occasional returns of disciples scattered in other territories over the years, there are not many of them. Although there are sects like yours, most of them have suffered heavy casualties.
“This is the first time I’ve seen such a complete Red Tiger lineage sect! Not only that, there are actually so many Blood Martial Realm experts among you.. It’s simply unbelievable! You’re really amazing to be able to do this! By the way, what’s your name?”
