Xingluo Territory is comparable to Cangyan Territory in terms of both territory size and overall strength.
The former Xingluo Territory and Cangyan Territory both tacitly agreed to annex surrounding forces and expand their own territories.
Until now.
As many of the surrounding forces, both large and small, were either destroyed or annexed by them, they were no longer able to expand.
Both sides then pointed their fangs at each other.
Today, the imperial power of the Dawu Dynasty has collapsed.
In an era when powerful people from all over the world were fighting for power.
The lords of all parties are constantly focusing on strengthening themselves.
Among these lords.
Naturally, there will be fighting and annexation between each other!
As the saying goes, there can't be two tigers in one mountain.
Of the two fierce tigers, Xingluo Territory and Cangyan Territory, only one can survive!
Tiandou State.
As one of the seven states of Xingluo Territory, the size of its entire state is much larger than that of the Seven Star State.
The biggest difference between the seven states of Xingluo Territory and the thirteen states of Cangyan Territory...
The point is that there is no distinction between big and small states in the Xingluo Territory.
Because the territorial scope of these seven states is not too different.
Not like Cang Yanling.
The thirteen states vary greatly in size.
When the entire flying boat left the Qixing State and passed through the mysterious desert separating the Qixing State and Tiandou State.
Finally entered Tiandou Province.
The huge size of the entire Tiandou Province has also led to the fact that the forces here are extremely numerous and complex.
Although the Jiying Palace is a first-tier force in Tiandou Province, it is not the only first-tier force.
At the same time in Tiandou Province, the strongest is no longer in the Blood Martial Realm.
There are stronger people at a higher level than the Blood Martial Realm here!
With the flying boat speeding back and forth.
Soon they arrived above a city in Tiandou Province.
This is a city that is much larger than Jinyun City.
The whole city is extremely prosperous.
The population is even larger.
However, such cities are extremely common in Tiandou Province, unlike Qixing Province where cities are rare.
When the flying boat landed from the air and entered the city.
A beautiful lady has been waiting here for a long time.
She is the lord of this Bixin City.
After seeing the white-haired old man, he immediately bowed to him respectfully.
"Greetings, Mr. Luo."
The white-haired old man nodded slightly.
Look at Guo Chengdao among the crowd.
"From now on, this Bixin City will be handed over to your Red Tiger Sect."
As soon as his words came out.
Guo Chengdao and the three elders were stunned.
Before that.
They were just wondering how the white-haired old man would arrange for their Red Tiger Sect.
I thought I would just find a place for them.
Let them rebuild the mountain gate.
Unexpectedly…
They actually handed over a city to them.
"Feng Yu, you will continue to serve as the city lord and assist the Red Tiger Sect in managing Bi Xin City."
The white-haired old man arranged.
"yes!"
The beautiful woman named Fengyu nodded respectfully.
After finishing the explanation.
The white-haired old man's gaze fell on the disciples of the Red Tiger Sect again, and his gaze was focused directly on... Cen Qingci among the many disciples!
Under the gaze of the white-haired old man, Cen Qingci's pretty face suddenly turned pale.
I just felt like I was being stared at by a fierce beast.
A chill ran down my body.
My heart is beating fast.
The white-haired old man pointed at Cen Qingci and spoke indifferently.
"This girl is the core disciple of your Red Tiger Sect, right? Let her be the hostage."
"Proton!?"
Guo Chengdao and the three elders were all stunned.
It is understandable that the other party would let their core relatives serve as protons.
After all, their Chihu Sect used to be a force affiliated with Cangyan Territory.
Now that we have joined Xingluo Territory, we naturally need to leave Proton behind.
What worries them is...
The proton chosen by the other party was actually Cen Qingci!
"Sir... Actually, we have more than one core disciple in the Red Tiger Sect. The others may be more suitable..."
Guo Chengdao said quickly.
He didn't want Cen Qingci to become a hostage.
After all, Cen Qingci is the only bloodline left by the ancestor...
It is extremely important to their Red Tiger Sect!
However, the white-haired old man said calmly.
"She's the one. I'll give you three minutes to select five followers in the Qiwu realm. They will follow me back to Jiying Palace with Proton."
After saying.
The white-haired old man walked aside with three disciples and the city lord Feng Yu.
Guo Chengdao and the three elders all looked unhappy.
Not many people in the sect know Cen Qingci's identity.
Unexpectedly, the other party directly chose Cen Qingci.
"what to do?"
The three elders looked at Guo Chengdao.
Guo Chengdao looked solemn.
What they were mainly worried about was Cen Qingci's safety and how he would be treated after becoming a hostage.
Now the fate of their Red Tiger Sect is completely in the hands of the Jiying Palace. Although the other party brought them out of the Seven Star State, the arrangements they made for them cannot be questioned or refused.
The only thing they could do was to try their best to arrange five reasonable followers for Cen Qingci.
This person is not only a follower, but also Cen Qingci's protector.
According to the original intention of Guo Chengdao and the three elders.
They thought of directly assigning the five most powerful people who had reached the Great Perfection of Qi Wu Realm to Cen Qingci as his followers.
But Cen Qingci had different ideas.
"I want to choose my own followers."
Cen Qingci said seriously.
She felt that it would be best to use the team they had in the Seven Star Holy Land as her followers.
Rather than choosing some unfamiliar people as followers.
It would be better to bring a team that you are familiar with.
After all, in a place like the Jiying Palace where hidden dragons and crouching tigers are hidden, even if one has reached the great perfection of the Qiwu realm, he may not be able to play any role there.
"this… "
The three elders frowned.
“Nonsense!”
Guo Chengdao, however, directly scolded him.
With Cen Qingci's status, how could he treat it so lightly
As the only bloodline of the ancestor.
If Cen Qingci's cultivation had not been too weak, she would definitely be the current leader of the Red Tiger Sect!
Even if Cen Qingci is not qualified to be the sect leader now, he is still a figure like the young ancestor in the Red Tiger Sect.
Even if one has reached the Great Perfection of the Qiwu Realm, it will not have any effect in the Jiying Palace.
They are better than the disciples selected by Cen Qingci himself.
But just when Guo Chengdao insisted on becoming Cen Qingci's follower with the Great Perfection of Qiwu Realm.
Suddenly, a voice sounded in my mind.
"Just do as she wishes."
Guo Chengdao was stunned.
He quickly sent a message.
"Senior, you don't know that Cen Qingci is the only bloodline left by the ancestor, which is related to the entire Red Tiger Sect..."
Xiao Shi was not surprised by this.
After the Red Tiger Totem parasitized him, he had already sensed a very special aura in Cen Qingci...
In addition, he has been in contact with Cen Qingci.
The innocence and inexperience of the other person obviously indicate that he has been well protected since childhood, which is why he possesses such traits in such a chaotic world.
His identity…
It is not difficult to guess.
As for Cen Qingci, he was chosen to be a proton.
This was also within Xiao Shi's expectations.
He knew that Jiying Palace had come specifically to take them away, and there must be some purpose behind it.
They will definitely choose the most important person in their Red Tiger Sect to be a hostage.
Even if it wasn’t Cen Qingci, it would be Sect Leader Guo Chengdao.
This is one of their ways to control the Red Tiger Sect.
This includes letting the Red Tiger Sect take charge of the Bi Xin City, but leaving the city lord here to manage it together with them.
Obviously, he also wanted to know all the actions of the Red Tiger Sect through this city lord.
It can be said that all arrangements made by the other party.
There is only one purpose...
That means the Red Tiger Sect is completely under control!
Given the current situation of the Red Tiger Sect, even if they were aware of this, they would be helpless.
Although Xiao Shi is still unable to see the Jiying Palace's plot...
But he knows.
If you want to break free from the control of Jiying Palace, the key lies in yourself!
In other words, it lies in the red tiger totem on his body!
The Red Tiger Totem is the key to the rise of the Red Tiger Sect.
As long as the Red Tiger Totem can be restored, there will be hope of escaping the control of the Jiying Palace.
And we need to speed up the recovery of the Red Tiger Totem.
Xiao Shi needs to constantly improve his cultivation.
The higher his cultivation level, the faster he can nurture the Red Tiger Totem.
If he stayed in this Bi Xin City to develop, on the one hand, he would be under the control of the Jiying Palace and his own development would be restricted to a certain extent, and on the other hand, he would not be able to protect Cen Qingci.
If I go to Jiying Palace with Cen Qingci.
Although he is also under the control of Jiying Palace, Jiying Palace will not pay too much attention to one follower.
They will only pay attention to Cen Qingci as a hostage.
In this way, Xiao Shi can cover himself through Cen Qingci.
At the same time, he can also protect Cen Qingci.
To this.
Xiao Shi directly transmitted the message to Guo Chengdao.
"Don't worry, among Cen Qingci's followers, there is someone I arranged to go in. With this person, it is enough to ensure Cen Qingci's safety."
Guo Chengdao was startled.
I didn’t expect that there was someone like this senior in the sect!
He suddenly thought of the unnamed night watchman who had appeared before.
I was thinking that this person might be the one of this senior.
And now that this senior is the decision-maker of their Red Tiger Sect, since the other party has said so, he believes that he must be sure.
"Then let's follow what the senior said."
Guo Chengdao nodded.
Agreed with Cen Qingci's arrangement.
So the followers who went to Jiying Palace with Cen Qingci were Mimiyan, Fan Li, Yang Zhen, Wang Luo and Xiao Shi.
To this.
Before leaving, Guo Chengdao specially gathered five people together.
Decided to tell them Cen Qingci's identity.
This will let them know how important Cen Qingci is to the entire sect.
"Remember! You must do your best to ensure the safety of our young master. Even if it means sacrificing yourself, you must not let our young master be in danger!"
Guo Chengdao spoke to the five people in an extremely serious tone.
At the same time, he was also looking at the five people calmly.
I want to know which of the five of them was arranged by the senior.
However, after observing for a while, he didn't notice any clues.
Xiao Shi and the other four all showed some degree of shock.
Except for Fan Li, no one else among them knew Cen Qingci's identity.
I didn’t expect that Cen Qingci was actually the young ancestor of the Red Tiger Sect!
After one stick of incense.
The white-haired old man reappeared in front of everyone.
"Let's go."
He raised his hand and pointed at everyone.
Cen Qingci, Xiao Shi and their five followers suddenly appeared on the flying boat out of thin air.
Then the flying boat slowly rose into the air.
Flash in the air.
It disappeared directly from the sky above Bixin City.
On the flying boat.
Apart from the six of them, only the white-haired old man and his three disciples were left.
The white-haired old man looked at Cen Qingci, who seemed a little nervous and uneasy.
Said indifferently.
"Don't be nervous. Although you are a proton, you are still a disciple of Jiying Palace once you arrive at Jiying Palace, including your five followers."
"Being able to become a disciple of my Jiying Palace is a blessing for you."
There was pride in the white-haired old man's words.
After all, their Jiying Palace is a first-line force in the entire Tiandou Province.
It is far from being comparable to a small sect like the Red Tiger Sect.
There are countless people in the entire Tiandou Province who want to join the Jiying Palace.
It is something many people dream of.
The Jiying Palace is also extremely strict in recruiting disciples.
In the eyes of the white-haired old man.
Under normal circumstances, the five followers around Cen Qingci would not be qualified to join the Jiying Palace.
Now that they can join the Jiying Palace, it is naturally a great fortune.
As the flying boat continues to move.
Xiao Shi and the others also once again felt the vastness of the entire Tiandou Province.
After all, with the speed of the flying boat, if it were in the Seven Star State, it would have crossed the Seven Star State several times.
However, up to now, they have not yet arrived at the main gate of Jiying Palace.
finally.
After the flying boat sailed for a while again.
They finally saw the location of the Jiying Palace's sect.
The sect of Jiying Palace is quite different from what they had imagined before!
The entire Jiying Palace is located on a wide plain.
It is composed of five huge cities, pieced together to form a majestic and huge city!
here…
It is the sect of Jiying Palace, Wuying City!
Xiao Shi and the others looked at the majestic city below with shock in their eyes.
This majestic city is huge.
It was far larger than any city they had ever seen before.
Any one of the five cities that make up this stunning city is large enough to accommodate tens of millions of people. The astonishing degree of its size is enough to shock people after seeing it.
The flying boat directly entered the Tree Shadow City among the five cities and hovered above the Tree Shadow City.
The white-haired old man spoke calmly to Cen Qingci and the others.
"This is Shuying City. This is your identity token. From now on, you are my Jiying Palace disciples."
As the white-haired old man spoke, several identity tokens appeared in front of him.
These identity tokens flew towards the crowd on their own.
Into their hands.
Then, Xiao Shi and the others disappeared from the flying boat and appeared out of thin air in the Tree Shadow City.
The flying boat in the sky suddenly disappeared from the sky above Tree Shadow City.
Xiao Shi and the other six people looked down at the tokens in their hands.
When these tokens appeared in their hands.
It quickly flashed in their hands.
Then it merged directly into their palms.
A seed then appeared in their bodies!
This seed seems to have some miraculous effect in this city.
It made them all feel a special atmosphere filling the city!
"This is… "
“Spiritual tree breath!
”
