This way, even if Xiao Shi was not sincerely loyal to the Great Wu Empire, as long as his people and domain were in the Great Wu Empire, it would definitely bring a huge increase to the Great Wu Empire.
Although this would not pose any threat to Xiao Shi’s life, as long as he entered the Imperial Domain, then he would be controlled by the prince for the rest of his life. And if he did not comply, the prince would definitely kill Xiang Zizhen and the people from the Red Tiger Sect.
Xiao Shi had already verified this through the Heavenly Mystery Disc’s warning. The prince would definitely not use this to threaten him for a long time. If Xiao Shi refused now, the prince would immediately kill Xiang Zizhen. After all, the Imperial Prince hated Xiang Zizhen to begin with. It was such a rare opportunity, so he would definitely not let him live.
As such, ilf Xiao Shi wanted to save Xiang Zizhen and the others, he had to go to the Imperial Domain. There was no other choice.
” The reason why the prince got Chen Yuan to do this is clearly because he doesn’t want the three demigod Heavenly Kings to know about his operation. He wants me to enter the Imperial Domain silently.”
The demigod barrier outside his domain, apart from preventing others from entering his domain, was also monitoring him. If he stepped out of his domain in an ordinary way, he would definitely be sensed by the three demigod Heavenly Kings immediately.
Only a method similar to the dream jump of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect and the spatial teleportation of the Heavenly Mystery Palace could leave their domain without the three demigod Heavenly Kings sensing it.
If the three demigod Heavenly Kings knew of the prince’s actions, they would definitely think of a way to stop it. To the three demigod Heavenly Kings, they would rather accept the fifth domain falling into the hands of any one of them than accept the fifth domain joining the Great Wu Empire.
“In that case, if 1 tell the three demigod Heavenly Kings about this, will 1 be able to obtain their help?” Xiao Shi felt that under such circumstances, Perhaps he could consider cooperating with the three demigod Heavenly Kings.
On careful thought, he quickly dismissed it. This method obviously wouldn’t work.
On the one hand, the three demigod Heavenly Kings could not enter the Imperial Domain. Even if he told them, they would not be able to help him bring Xiang Zizhen and company out of the Imperial Domain.
On the other hand, he felt that working with the three demigod Heavenly Kings was no different from asking a tiger for its skin. Compared to the prince, the three demigod Heavenly Kings were even more dangerous.
Furthermore, once the three demigod Heavenly Kings realized that dream jumps and spatial teleportation could escape their barrier, they would definitely think of a way to seal them off to a greater extent. He definitely could not tell them about this.
Without any help, how could he save Xiang Zizhen and the others from the Imperial Domain alone?
Xiao Shi could not help but fall into deep thought. Chen Yuan did not say a word about this and quietly waited for Xiao Shi to make a decision. He did not rush him. After thinking for a long time, a plan gradually formed in Xiao Shi’s heart.
However, he was not sure if his plan would work. He needed to use the Heavenly Mystery Disc to pry into the heavenly secrets and predict the outcome first.
Xiao Shi looked at Chen Yuan and asked, “How much time do I have?”
“One day.” Chen Yuan said.
Xiao Shi shook his head. “One day is not enough. I need five days.”
Chen Yuan could not help but frown when he heard that. With his understanding of the prince, it was definitely impossible for him to give Xiao Shi so much time.
“I will definitely come to the Imperial Domain in five days, but in these five days, I hope you can protect Xiang Zizhen and the people of the Red Tiger Sect.” Xiao Shi said seriously.
Chen Yuan looked deeply at Xiao Shi. “I can’t guarantee that.” After saying that, he turned around and wanted to leave this dream.
Xiao Shi looked at Chen Yuan with a complicated expression. He knew that although the other party said that he could not guarantee it, this answer meant that he would do his best to help him stall for time.
Xiao Shi could tell from Chen Yuan that he did not want anything to happen to Xiang Zizhen. He also wanted to save Xiang Zizhen. However, he had the royal order. No matter how unwilling he was, he could not disobey the prince. He could only secretly help Xiao Shi within a certain range.
“Wait!” Just as Chen Yuan was about to leave the dream world, Xiao Shi suddenly called out to him. He looked at Chen Yuan’s back and could not help but ask the question in his heart. “Is such a person… worthy of your loyalty?”
This doubt had been there since Xiao Shi entered the Imperial Domain. Ever since the Martial Emperor died and the Great Wu Empire’s imperial power collapsed, the three demigod Heavenly Kings and many suzerains left the Great Wu Empire one after another.
As the only child of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect, Chen Yuan had become the “Guardian God” guarding the Great Wu Empire. However, he had never received the respect that a guardian deity deserved. He was restricted by the prince everywhere.
The prince was not thinking of paying tribute to this guardian. Instead, he was constantly suppressing him, afraid that Chen Yuan’s power would threaten his status. For this, he even supported a new faction, the Martial Pavilion, and let it reach a balance of power with the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect.
If Chen Yuan was the kind of person who cared about power, it was normal for the prince to do this. After all, for those in power, they would more or less be on guard against their subordinates who had advanced and overshadowed their master.
In particular, Chen Yuan, who controlled the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect, had a certain ability to usurp the throne. However, as Xiao Shi understood Chen Yuan, he knew that the other party did not have such thoughts at all.
What Chen Yuan was looking at was not the current Great Wu Empire, but the current Tianwu Continent.
What he was thinking about was how to revive the Great Wu Empire, how to resist the three demigod Heavenly Kings, and how to return the Great Wu Empire to its former glory. He had no interest in the power struggles in the Great Wu Empire at all. Even if he was constantly suppressed, he did not have any resentment.
Even Xiao Shi, who had just joined the Imperial Domain, could tell this. He did not believe that the prince would not know. However, the prince’s gaze remained fixed on the Imperial Domain. In the current situation where the Great Wu Empire was constantly declining, he was still thinking about internal power struggles.
Xiao Shi felt that if he were Chen Yuan, he would have left the Great Wu Empire long ago. He had done his best for the Great Wu Empire, but in exchange, he was suppressed and guarded. Why should he still serve him?
This also became the greatest doubt in Xiao Shi’s heart. Be it him or Xiang Zizhen, after being treated unfairly by the Great Wu Empire, they were already extremely disappointed in the Great Wu Empire. The injustice Chen Yuan suffered was a hundred or a thousand times more than them.
However, under such circumstances, Chen Yuan was still loyal to the Great Wu Empire and still listened to the prince. This made Xiao Shi very confused.
Faced with Xiao Shi’s question, Chen Yuan did not turn back. He only said two words indifferently. “Duty calls.” After saying that, his figure disappeared from the dream world and left it.
Xiao Shi frowned at this. He could feel it. The suppression of Chen Yuan and the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect was not as simple as an internal power struggle. There were most likely other reasons.
Chen Yuan’s loyalty to the Great Wu Empire was the same. After the Martial Emperor died back then, many factions chose to leave the Great Wu Empire, except for the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect.
There must be some unknown reason.
He shook his head. Xiao Shi put this doubt aside for the time being. For him, the most important thing now was the next plan. This operation carries high risks.
Xiao Shi was not too confident either. He needed to use the Heavenly Mystery Disc to pry into the heavenly secrets to predict the outcome. If the outcome he predicted was a failure, he needed to make the corresponding adjustments.
This was also the strength of the Heavenly Mystery Disc. It could predict the outcome in advance before making a decision and adjust according to it.
Xiao Shi left the dream world and activated the Heavenly Mystery Disc to spy on the heavenly secrets..
