Xiao Shi looked solemn.
He knows.
Although Prince Dawu hated Xiang Zizhen, Xiang Zizhen was a saint of the Dawu Dynasty after all. If there was no special reason, Prince Dawu would not kill Xiang Zizhen no matter how much he hated him!
Especially since people from the Red Tiger Sect were involved in this.
"Then there is only one possibility..."
"Prince Dawu knows my identity and my relationship with Xiang Zizhen and the Red Tiger Sect, so he is doing harm to them."
Xiao Shi narrowed his eyes slightly.
He knew that his hiding was not perfect.
Xiang Zizheng and the Chihu Sect are his biggest weaknesses.
Although he believed that neither Xiang Zizhen nor the people from the Red Tiger Sect would betray him, as long as they were in the imperial domain, Prince Dawu had many ways to make them tell the truth.
This was also one of the reasons why Xiao Shi wanted to bring them out of the imperial domain as soon as possible.
Once Prince Dawu discovered the clues.
It will definitely be disadvantageous to them.
But he didn't expect that Prince Dawu would act so quickly!
Xiao Shi frowned.
The current situation is not good.
Not only are Xiang Zizhen and the people of the Red Tiger Sect facing a major crisis, he himself is also facing the threat of the imminent arrival of the Petrified Face.
All dangers seem to be concentrated in one place...
But one thing is certain.
Prince Dawu’s target is himself, so he will definitely not kill Xiang Zizheng and the people from the Chihu Sect at this moment.
Most likely they will be put under house arrest to threaten me.
"So… "
"How will he deal with me?"
Xiao Shi fell into deep thought about this.
It's undeniable.
Xiang Zizhen and the people from the Red Tiger Sect are indeed his weak points.
There was no way Xiao Shi would sit idly by and watch Prince Dawu kill them.
Just as he was thinking seriously.
Suddenly, I noticed some vibrations coming from the dream jade.
Xiao Shi's eyes suddenly became sharp.
This dream jade...
It is an important tool for him and Xiang Zizheng to communicate privately.
Logically speaking.
There is no chance that Xiang Zizheng will contact himself through the dream jade now.
At the same time, even if this dream jade fell into the hands of Prince Dawu, Prince Dawu would not be able to use it.
Because dreams are the unique power system of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect.
If you are not a member of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect, you will not be able to use the Dream Jade even if you obtain it.
Looking at the dream jade that was constantly emitting fluctuations.
Xiao Shi narrowed his eyes slightly.
He had already guessed who was using Xiang Zizheng's dream jade to contact him.
He didn't hesitate at that moment.
He reached out and grasped the dream jade.
When it was turned on, he entered into the dream world.
He knows.
The dream woven by this dream jade will not bring any threat to oneself. Even if the other party wants to deal with oneself in the dream, one can escape at any time.
There will be no danger.
Now he urgently needs to know the situation of Xiang Zizheng and others, so he must meet them in the dream world.
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.
Next second.
Xiao Shi appeared out of nowhere in the dark dream world.
In the past, when Xiao Shi, Xiang Zizhen and other members of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect met in the dream world, they all appeared as people of light radiating from their bodies, and their figures and faces could not be seen.
However, when Xiao Shi appeared in the dream world at this moment, he saw a clear figure without any light on it.
This allowed Xiao Shi to clearly see the man's appearance.
He has short light brown hair, strong facial features and a light beard around his mouth.
Just as he had guessed before.
The person who is contacting him through the dream jade is Xiang Zizhen’s master, the current leader of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect, Chen Yuan!
Chen Yuan put his hands behind his back, and stared at Xiao Shi who appeared in the dream world with a pair of blue eyes as deep as the starry sky. There was no expression on his face, and his emotions and thoughts could not be seen. After staring at Xiao Shi for two seconds, he spoke.
"We already know who you are."
Xiao Shi was not surprised by this.
Asked.
"How are Xiang Zizhen and the people from the Red Tiger Sect doing?"
"He has been imprisoned, but his life is not in danger for the time being."
Chen Yuan replied.
Xiao Shi nodded.
"Tell me, what do you want?"
Chen Yuan looked at Xiao Shi.
"Your Highness wants me to take you into the Imperial Domain. I can jump through the dream of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect, allowing you to avoid the demigod barrier and descend directly into the Imperial Domain."
"but… "
"This requires your cooperation with me. If you don't cooperate, I can't force you to come to the Imperial Domain."
As soon as Chen Yuan’s words came out.
Xiao Shi immediately understood Prince Dawu's intention.
It's obvious.
Prince Dawu wanted to use Xiang Zizhen and the people from the Red Tiger Sect as bait to lure himself into the Imperial Domain.
If I stay in my own territory all the time, Prince Dawu will definitely not be able to do anything to me.
And once you enter the imperial domain...
They can only allow themselves to be slaughtered by Prince Dawu.
But Prince Dawu will not kill himself.
After all, his real intention was not to kill me, but to take over my territory.
Therefore, even if he entered the imperial domain.
I believe that Prince Dawu will not kill.
Instead, he would merge the fifth domain into the Dawu Dynasty.
At the same time, he will also rejoin the Dawu Dynasty.
Completely imprison himself in the Dawu Dynasty.
In this way, even if Xiao Shi is not truly loyal to the Dawu Dynasty, as long as his people and territory are in the Dawu Dynasty, it will definitely bring a huge increase in the fortune of the Dawu Dynasty.
Although this will not pose any threat to Xiao Shi's life.
But as long as he entered the imperial domain.
Then you will be controlled by Prince Dawu for the rest of your life.
And if he doesn't comply...
Prince Dawu will definitely take action to kill Xiang Zizheng and the people from the Chihu Sect.
Xiao Shi has already verified this through the warning from the Tianji Disk. Prince Dawu will definitely not use this to threaten others for a long time.
If Xiao Shi refused now, Prince Dawu would kill Xiang Zizheng immediately.
After all, Prince Dawu himself hated Xiang Zizhen.
This kind of opportunity is rare, so I will definitely not let him live.
In this way.
If Xiao Shi wants to rescue Xiang Zizhen and others, he must go to the Imperial Domain. He has no other choice.
"The reason why Prince Dawu asked Chen Yuan to do this is obviously because he didn't want the three demigod kings to know about his action. He wanted me to enter the imperial domain quietly..."
Xiao Shi knew.
The demigod barrier outside his own domain.
In addition to preventing others from entering their territory, they are also monitoring themselves.
If he stepped out of his own territory in an ordinary way, he would definitely be sensed by these three demigod kings at the first moment.
Only methods like dream jumping of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect and space shuttle of the Heavenly Secret Palace can escape from one's own domain without the three demigod kings being able to sense it.
If the three demigod kings knew about Prince Dawu’s actions.
They will definitely find a way to stop it.
For these three demigod kings, they would rather accept the Fifth Domain falling into the hands of any one of them than accept the Fifth Domain being incorporated into the Dawu Dynasty.
"So… "
"If I tell this to the three demigod kings, can I get their help?"
Xiao Shi felt that under this circumstance.
Perhaps he could consider cooperating with the three demigod kings.
But think about it carefully.
He quickly dismissed the idea.
This approach obviously doesn't work.
On the one hand, the three demigod kings could not enter the imperial domain. Even if he told them, they would not be able to help him bring Xiang Zizheng and others out of the imperial domain.
On the other hand, Xiao Shi felt that cooperating with the three demigod kings was tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger. Compared with Prince Dawu, these three demigod kings were more dangerous.
Furthermore, once these three demigod kings realize that dream jumping and space travel can help them escape from their barrier, they will definitely find a way to impose a greater blockade.
I certainly can't tell them about this.
Without any help, how can I rescue Xiang Zizheng and others from the Imperial Domain by myself
Xiao Shi couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Chen Yuan said nothing about this, just quietly waiting for Xiao Shi to make a decision without urging him.
After thinking for a long time.
A plan gradually formed in Xiao Shi's mind.
But now he couldn't be sure whether his plan would work.
You need to use the Tianji Plate to peek into the secrets of heaven and predict the results first.
Think of this.
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."
After hearing this, Chen Yuan couldn't help but frown.
Based on his understanding of Prince Dawu, it is impossible for Prince Dawu to give Xiao Shi so much time.
"I will definitely come to the Imperial Territory within five days, but during 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 at Xiao Shi deeply.
"I can't guarantee that."
After saying that.
He turned around and was about to leave this dream.
Xiao Shi looked at Chen Yuan with some complicated feelings.
He knew that even though the other party said that, he couldn't guarantee it.
But such an answer already showed that he would try his best to help himself delay time.
At the same time, Xiao Shi could also feel from Chen Yuan...
For Chen Yuan.
He didn't want to see Xiang Zi get into trouble.
He also wanted to save Xiang Zizheng.
But the emperor has ordered me to do so.
Even if he was unwilling in his heart, he could not disobey Prince Dawu.
He can only assist Xiao Shi implicitly within a certain range.
"etc!"
Just as Chen Yuan was about to leave the dream world.
Xiao Shi suddenly spoke and called him.
He looked at Chen Yuan's back and couldn't help but ask the doubts in his heart.
"Is such a person... worthy of your loyalty?"
This doubt has existed since Xiao Shi entered the Imperial Domain.
Since the death of Emperor Wu, the imperial power of the Great Wu Dynasty collapsed. The three demigod kings and many lords left the Great Wu Dynasty one after another.
As the only descendant of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect, Chen Yuan became the "guardian god" protecting the Dawu Dynasty.
However, he never received the respect that a patron saint deserves.
He was constrained at every turn by Prince Dawu.
Prince Dawu was not thinking about worshipping this guardian god well, but to suppress him constantly, fearing that Chen Yuan's power would threaten his position after he became powerful.
To this end, he even supported a new force called "Wu Ge" to allow Wu Ge to achieve a balance of power with the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect.
If Chen Yuan was the kind of person who cared about power.
Prince Dawu's behavior is quite normal.
After all, for those in power.
Everyone will be more or less wary of their subordinates, lest they become more successful than their boss.
Especially Chen Yuan, who is in charge of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect, has certain ability to plot power and usurp the throne.
But as Xiao Shi gets to know Chen Yuan better.
He knew that the other party had no such idea at all.
What Chen Yuan has been looking at is not the current Dawu Dynasty, but the current Tianwu Continent.
All he was thinking about was how to revive the Dawu Dynasty, how to fight against the three demigod kings, and how to bring the Dawu Dynasty back to its former glory.
He had no interest in the power struggle within the Dawu Dynasty, and he did not hold any resentment even though he was constantly suppressed.
Even Xiao Shi, who had just joined the Imperial Domain, could see this.
He didn't believe that Prince Dawu didn't know.
However, Prince Dawu's gaze always stayed on the imperial domain.
As the Dawu Dynasty continues to decline, it is still thinking about the internal power struggle.
Xiao Shi felt that if he were Chen Yuan, he would have left the Dawu Dynasty long ago.
He worked hard for the Dawu Dynasty, but what he got in return was suppression and vigilance.
Why should I still work for it
This also became the biggest doubt in Xiao Shi's heart.
Whether it was him or Xiang Zizhen, after being treated unfairly by Prince Dawu, they were already extremely disappointed with the Dawu Dynasty.
However, the injustice suffered by Chen Yuan was hundreds, thousands of times greater than theirs.
But in this case.
Chen Yuan was still loyal to the Dawu Dynasty and still obeyed the orders of Prince Dawu, which made Xiao Shi very confused.
Facing Xiao Shi’s questions.
Chen Yuan did not look back.
He just said four words indifferently.
“It’s my duty.”
After saying that.
Chen Yuan's figure then disappeared from the dream world and he left the dream world directly.
Xiao Shi frowned at this.
He can feel it.
Prince Dawu's suppression of Chen Yuan and the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect was not just a simple internal power struggle, there were probably other reasons involved.
At the same time, the same is true of Chen Yuan's loyalty to the Dawu Dynasty.
After the death of Emperor Wu, many forces chose to leave the Great Wu Dynasty, but the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect remained the only one that remained.
There must be some unknown reasons behind this.
Shaked his head.
Xiao Shi put this doubt aside for the time being.
The most important thing for him at the moment is the next action plan.
This operation carries a high risk.
Xiao Shi was not very sure either.
He needs to use the Tianji Disk to peek into the secrets of heaven to predict the result. If the predicted result is failure, he needs to make corresponding adjustments.
This is also the power of the Tianji Disk.
Being able to predict the results of a decision before making it, so that adjustments can be made based on the results.
Immediately,
After Xiao Shi left the dream world, he directly activated the Tianji Disk to spy on the secrets of heaven.
