As the dream jade opened, a faint black light expanded from the palm of Xiao Shi's hand, covering the surroundings with a dark veil.
The surrounding scenery began to distort and was replaced by darkness.
Xiao Shi appeared out of nowhere in the dark dream world.
In front of him were seven bright people whose bodies were radiating light.
"Roaring Tiger has arrived."
Everyone looked at Xiao Shi.
Xiaohu is Xiao Shi's code name in the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect.
Since these people from the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect usually do not come into contact with each other in real life and keep their identities secret, when they meet in dreams, they do not use their real names but have their own code names.
For example, Qin Mo’s code name in the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect was Mo Hu.
Now that Xiao Shi has joined, he also has his own code name...
Roaring tiger!
"Now that everyone is here, Mangui, tell me about your gathering of everyone this time."
The light man representing Xiang Zizhen looked at another light man.
This person is codenamed Man Gui, and he is a descendant of the evil ghosts in the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect.
These are the members of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect in Xingluo State.
Among them, three are from the mountain god lineage, two are from the dream witch lineage, one is from the red tiger lineage, and one is from the evil ghost lineage.
The one who gathered everyone this time was the barbarian ghost from the evil ghost lineage.
The barbarian nodded.
He looked at everyone and said.
"Everyone."
"I recently encountered a difficult matter and need help..."
As soon as his words came out.
This immediately made many people frown.
According to the rules, the followers of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect are not allowed to meet in private.
Now the wild ghosts are seeking their help.
It is undoubtedly a violation of etiquette.
"I have no other choice..."
"This matter is extremely important to me, and I really need your help!"
Man Gui said this very seriously.
"Can you tell me what's going on first?"
One of the light people asked.
However, Man Gui shook his head.
"I'm sorry, I can't go into detail about the specific situation, as this would expose my identity. I can only explain the specific matters to those who are willing to help me..."
"All I can reveal now is that this matter concerns my future soul, and I may need you to come to my city to help me."
Everyone was silent about this.
It's not that they don't want to help.
It’s not that I don’t trust the ghost.
But there is nothing I can do to help.
First of all, they all have their own identities in Xingluo Province. People with identities like Xiang Zizhen have to stay in the prison city on weekdays. At most, they go to the demonic forces to capture prisoners. They have no chance to go to other cities.
Secondly, these people have different positions and personalities in their respective forces.
This is how they hide their identities.
Most people maintain a low profile.
If you rashly try to help, you might end up destroying the persona you’ve built up.
Especially if things with the barbarians become tricky, they will need to reveal more.
This is very disadvantageous to themselves.
After all, not all members of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect are as good at hiding and disguising their identities as Xiao Shi.
This is the only identity they have, so they certainly can't take risks easily.
The barbarian sighed at this.
He also knew that everyone had their own difficulties and he could only find a solution on his own.
that's all.
Everyone exited the dream world one after another.
However, Xiao Shi had just exited the dream world.
The dream jade in his hand vibrated again.
"Um?"
He looked at the jade in his hand in confusion.
I found that this time someone was looking for me for a "private chat", not a "group chat" like before.
Immediately he entered the dream world again.
I found out that the person who chatted with me privately this time was Xiang Zizheng.
In the entire dream world.
Just the two of them.
"What do you think about the barbarian ghosts?"
Xiang Zizhen asked straight to the point.
Xiao Shi thought about it and shook his head.
"I can't help you."
Although if he really wanted to help, he could do it.
Just let the clone stay in the prison city.
The main body can go to provide support.
But his main body is his foundation, and even in front of Xiang Zizhen, he cannot expose his main body.
This is not a question of trust or not.
It's his way of survival in this world.
"I want you to help him with this matter!"
Xiang Zizhen said seriously.
"On the one hand, I don't want to see any harm done to my brothers. We don't have many people to begin with, and in the evil ghost lineage, there is only one man, Man Gui... If anything happens to him, it will be very detrimental to the entire Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect."
"On the other hand, I also have some selfish motives..."
"I learned from my master that in our Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect, there is a method that can control the demonic body clone. If I can control the demonic body clone, then I don't have to worry about my demonic body clone anymore."
"However, this method involves the evil ghost lineage... and is related to the life soul of the evil ghost lineage."
"So I want you to learn about the soul of the evil ghost lineage from the barbarian ghost through this support."
"If you have this method to control your demonic body clone, it will be much easier for you when you reach the Martial Demon Realm in the future."
Xiang Zizhen's words successfully aroused Xiao Shi's interest.
After he learned that the Wumo Realm required the splitting of the demon body, he had been worrying about it.
Now, nothing interests him more than his demonic clone.
"What's the difference between the souls of evil spirits?"
Xiao Shi asked doubtfully.
Xiang Zizhen shook his head.
"I don't know the specific situation..."
"Usually, every priest of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect can only master two kinds of power at most. What I master is the power of the Dream Witch lineage and the Mountain God lineage."
"I am not very clear about the Red Tiger lineage and the Evil Ghost lineage."
"But Master once said..."
"The four sects of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect all have their own special features in the Martial Soul Realm."
"Like the mountain god lineage, its special features will be revealed during the soul awakening stage."
"But the evil ghost lineage has to reach the soul stage before its specialness can be reflected."
Xiao Shi suddenly realized.
I began to think about the special features of the Red Tiger lineage.
Judging from his current situation, Xiao Shi feels that the specialness of the Red Tiger lineage seems to lie in the clone formed by the Red Tiger soul!
However, the reason why I can form this kind of clone.
In addition to the power of the Red Tiger lineage, there is another reason, that is, his own Red Tiger Totem had undergone a reversionary transformation under the omniscient fire of the Jihuo Sect.
The first time I formed a clone of myself started from that time.
It’s a pity that Qin Mo died early and I didn’t have the chance to ask him if he could do the same.
"How can I go over and help him?"
Xiao Shi asked.
After all, his current official identity is a jailer in the prison city.
The jailers are also not allowed to leave the prison city at will.
"I'll find a way to transfer you over."
Xiang Zizhen said.
"I'm not worried about other things. What I'm most worried about is that the trouble with the Barbarian Ghosts is too big, which may be beyond your ability to deal with."
"You have to remember, no matter what the situation is, safety comes first."
"If something is beyond your ability, don't try to be brave, discuss it with me first."
If it weren't for my identity, I would be unable to act.
Xiang Zizhen would rather go and help himself.
With his strength and cultivation, it would definitely be easier for him to handle this matter than for Xiao Shi.
But there's no way.
His identity is there.
As a powerful warrior in the Martial Demon Realm, he also holds an important position in the Xing Luo Army. His every move is closely watched throughout the Xing Luo State.
This matter can only be handled by Xiao Shi.
Xiao Shi wasn't too worried about this.
When he came to Xingluo Province, he had already gained some understanding of every follower of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect through Wu Muzhen.
Knowing the strength of the barbarian ghost is the soul consciousness stage.
Now it seems that the impact is making its way to the soul stage.
The troubles at this stage are not so serious that I can't help.
Immediately.
Xiang Zizhen brought the barbarian ghost into the dream world again.
"Mangui, maybe Xiaohu can help you with your problem."
Xiang Zizhen said.
He now mainly acts as a middleman.
After all, Xiao Shi and Man Gui are not from the Dream Witch lineage, so they need him as a middleman to have private conversations in the dream world.
"really!?"
After hearing this, Man Gui.
Suddenly I felt refreshed.
"Tell me about your situation."
Xiao Shi asked directly.
Xiang Zizhen tactfully exited the dream world at this time.
Only Xiao Shi and Man Gui were left.
The barbarian ghost hesitated for a moment.
Speak.
"Here's the thing..."
"My identity in Xingluo Province is actually the guardian of the Yougu Sect in the Three Swords Alliance."
"Recently, our Yougu Sect discovered an important ancient site in Xingluo Province. In this ancient site, there are many rare treasures and powerful souls."
"However, a traitor appeared in our Yougu Sect."
"The news leaked out, and the Qishen Temple also received the news."
"Now the Qishen Temple and we have started a competition and confrontation over this ancient monument. The specific situation cannot be explained in a few words."
"The most troublesome thing is..."
"I'm being watched! I can't get into the ruins."
"And within this ancient site, there is a key item for me to break through to the Soul Stage..."
"If I miss this opportunity, I don't know when I will have the chance to reach the Soul Stage again."
"So I need a trusted helper who can help me go into the ruins and get what I need."
Xiao Shi nodded.
He has some understanding of the Three Swords Alliance and the Temple of Prayer in Xingluo Province.
It is known that these two forces are the second-tier forces in Xingluo Province, second only to the Xingluo Army.
It is more powerful than the third-tier forces such as Qianqi Mountain and Moyu Chamber of Commerce.
A monument that could cause two powerful forces to fight over...
It must not be simple.
"I need to know more information about this ancient site."
Xiao Shi said.
"no problem!"
…
That day.
After Xiao Shi learned a lot of information from Man Gui.
He immediately conveyed the information to Xiang Zizheng.
"Mysterious relics?"
Xiang Zizhen thought deeply about this.
"Do you know the origin of this mysterious ancient monument?"
Xiao Shi's heart moved.
The Three Swords Alliance and the Temple of Prayer are now somewhat unsure about the origins of this mysterious ancient monument.
You need to enter the ancient ruins and explore them to know the origins of this ancient monument.
But now they are in a stalemate with soldiers against soldiers and generals against generals.
No one from either side could enter this ancient site.
"As for ancient monuments... Actually, they are not very common in the entire Tianwu Continent. Most of them can be traced back to dynasties before the Dawu Dynasty."
"But this kind of ancient monument is extremely valuable."
"It seems that although the Three Swords Alliance and the Prayer Temple have reached a stalemate over this matter, they have both tacitly blocked the news."
"If the lord knew about this ancient site..."
"I believe they won't get any valuable items."
"So no matter what the final result is, neither of them will make it public."
"This is a good opportunity."
Xiang Zizhen analyzed.
"As for the dangers inside..."
"Although the preliminary exploration by the Three Swords Alliance revealed that there are some rare treasures and powerful souls inside, this is only the exterior of the monument..."
“No one knows what lies deep within the ancient ruins.”
"You can go in and help Mangui get what he needs, but remember not to go too deep into the ancient ruins, and don't be greedy..."
"It's best to get what the barbarian ghosts need and then leave immediately. In ancient sites like this, the most dangerous thing is that money can tempt people."
"If you see some precious treasures in there and become greedy, you may not be able to get out."
Xiao Shi nodded.
He is not worried about this.
With his prudent nature, he is not the kind of person who can't move when he sees treasure.
Besides.
He has a great resistance to treasure itself.
Regardless of the drops from his kills along the way, or the treasures in the Ten Thousand Treasures Pagoda...
The treasures he had seen were incomparable to those of ordinary people.
Their "resistance" to treasures is far stronger than that of ordinary people.
I definitely won't get carried away just because I see a treasure.
"I will arrange for you to be transferred there as soon as possible. During this period, you should improve your strength as much as possible and make more preparations."
…
After deciding to go and help the mangui.
Xiao Shi began his preparations that day.
His main concern now is whether he needs to let his main body enter the ancient ruins...
The advantage of entering the ancient ruins with the main body is that the strength of the main body is much stronger than that of the clone.
Whether it is the items on the body or the various means.
The main body has more advantages than the clone.
The disadvantage is instability.
Once the Lord dies inside, he will be truly dead!
But at the same time, if he enters the ancient ruins with his clone, once the clone dies in the ancient ruins, he will also lose his identity as the jailer of Wang Xiao...
If he wants to contact Xiang Zizheng again, he will have to reveal the existence of his clone.
Think about it.
Xiao Shidu felt that this time when entering the ancient ruins, perhaps the main body would be more suitable than the clone.
On the one hand, he is very confident in the strength of his main body.
On the other hand, if you enter the ancient ruins with your main body, the gains will definitely be greater than with your clone.
Acting with a clone is more about considering the issue of identity.
And it is very likely that I am the only one in this ancient monument, so there is no problem of exposing my identity.
But before that.
He still had to make sure he had enough means of escape.
Even if you encounter danger, you can escape safely.
"There is still time..."
"I can take advantage of these few days to kill a few Wuhun Realm warriors in the prison and accumulate some items before going there again."
Xiao Shi thought to himself.
