But this time, he returned to Tiandou Province. No one in the entire Tiandou Province could pose a threat to him anymore. On the day they returned to Tiandou Province, Xiao Shi arrived at Tree Shadow City.
Although the current Swift Shadow Palace was not the strongest faction in Tiandou Province, it was still very stable. The Swift Shadow Palace was still divided into the East Palace and the West Palace. Both sides usually did not interfere with each other.
However, once they encountered danger, the two sides would immediately join forces to resist the enemy.
After returning, Xiao Shi immediately summoned Guo Chengdao. Guo Chengdao did not expect Xiao Shi to return so quickly and was very happy about this. However, Xiao Shi’s expression was solemn. He felt that it was necessary to tell the other party about the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect. After all, he was going to bring them to the Imperial Domain next.
It was necessary to let Guo Chengdao, the Sect Master of the Red Tiger Sect, know about this first.
Xiao Shi told Guo Chengdao about the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect.
Guo Chengdao was greatly shocked by this. He had been in the Red Tiger Sect for even longer than Xiao Shi. However, he had never known that there was such a terrifying background behind the Red Tiger Sect.
“This matter is very important. Before we leave Tiandou Province, we can’t reveal it!” Xiao Shi reminded him in a low voice.
Guo Chengdao nodded. Although he had to tell the other people from the Red Tiger Sect about this, he knew that now was not the right time. After all, if the news was leaked now, the consequences were unimaginable.
“Next, I’ll bring you to the Xingluo Province. It’s best if you think of a suitable reason to inform the disciples of the sect. This matter has to be hidden. It’s best not to attract the attention of outsiders.” Xiao Shi reminded him solemnly.
“Understood!” Guo Chengdao’s expression was serious. He knew that this matter was very important. Fortunately, although their Red Tiger Sect controlled the entire East Palace of the Swift Shadow Palace, they were behind the scenes.
On the surface, the ones in charge of the Swift Shadow Palace were still the two elders who had betrayed the Swift Shadow Palace back then.
The Red Tiger Sect had always been implementing the idea of developing in a low profile manner, so not many people in the Tiandou Province knew of the existence of the Red Tiger Sect.
Even if the Red Tiger Sect left Tiandou Province quietly, it would not attract the attention of the various factions in the Tiandou Province.
After leaving the evacuation to Guo Chengdao, Xiao Shi entered the interior of the Ancient Cang’e Tree. He began to think about how to take the Ancient Cang’e Tree away. He first woke up the incomplete consciousness in the black coffin and asked if the other party had a way to take away the Ancient Cang’e Tree.
“If we want to take away the Ancient Cang’e Tree, we have to provide it with a ‘soil’ that can bring nutrients. The reason why the Ancient Cang’e Tree can’t be taken away now is because the Ancient Cang’e Tree has always been in a bad state.
“If we take it away rashly, it might make its condition worse. At that time, the Ancient Cang’e Tree might even face a withering situation. If there’s enough nutrients to allow the Ancient Cang’e Tree to take root, then we can naturally take it away.” The incomplete consciousness in the black coffin said.
Xiao Shi was enlightened. He realized that the “soil” the other party was talking about might not be real soil. It mostly referred to something that could provide nutrients to the Ancient Cang’e Tree.
“Then if I plant the Ancient Cang’e Tree on your black coffin, can you provide it with sufficient nutrients?” Xiao Shi suddenly asked on a whim.
“… Are you a demon?” The incomplete consciousness in the black coffin said angrily. “My current state is not much better than the Ancient Cang’e Tree. I also need nutrients to recover. If you plant it on my black coffin, I will be sucked dry by it. How can I recover then?”
Xiao Shi thought about it and felt that it made sense. “In other words, 1 need a treasure that can bring nutrients to the Ancient Cang’e Tree and allow it to continuously absorb it.”
He carefully recalled the many treasures on him. There didn’t seem to be any treasure that could withstand the Ancient Cang’e Tree’s absorption. With the Ancient Cang’e Tree’s physique, it definitely needed a lot of nutrients. It was not a random treasure that could provide enough nutrients.

Even Xiao Shi’s only Martial Demon-level item might not be able to withstand the Ancient Cang’e Tree’s absorption.
“Actually, it doesn’t have to be a treasure. It can also take root in you.” The incomplete consciousness in the black coffin suggested.
“Are you a demon? Then wouldn’t 1 be sucked dry in minutes?” Xiao Shi felt that the other party’s suggestion was quite unreliable. However, this reminded him that the Ancient Cang’e could take root on the Evil. He just didn’t know if the Evil could provide sufficient nutrients to the Ancient Cang’e Tree as a corpse.
“Not necessarily.” The incomplete consciousness in the black coffin denied the possibility that Xiao Shi would be sucked dry by the Ancient Cang’e Tree. “I can feel that your bloodline is very special. Perhaps you can carry the Ancient Cang’e Tree.”
“Bloodline?” Xiao Shi was stunned.
After fusing the Dongkui bloodline, the Red Tiger bloodline, and the Vajra bloodline, he had already reached the second place in terms of bloodline, second only to the Martial Emperor bloodline that was ranked first.
In terms of bloodline, his bloodline was indeed very powerful.
“You mean, the bloodline can provide enough nutrients to the Ancient Cang’e Tree?” Xiao Shi asked.
“That’s right. Not only can bloodline provide nutrients to the Ancient Cang’e Tree, but it’s also the best nutrition. If you use your bloodline to nurture the Ancient Cang’e Tree, over time, it might even form some new abilities and changes for the Ancient Cang’e Tree.” The incomplete consciousness in the black coffin said.
“What will it do to me?” What Xiao Shi was most worried about now was that once he took root in the Ancient Cang’e Tree, he would be sucked dry by it. Even if he was not sucked dry, once it caused his strength to decrease, it would not be worth it.
Before the rescue operation began, he could only increase his strength and not let his strength decrease.
“If your bloodline is strong enough, it won’t affect you much. It’s actually good for you. Because once the Ancient Cang’e Tree takes root in you, you can freely use the power of the Ancient Cang’e Tree. This will greatly increase your strength.”
Xiao Shi nodded. The Ancient Cang’e Tree was indeed very attractive to him. His bloodline was second only to the Martial Emperor bloodline. He did not have to worry about his bloodline not being enough to support the Ancient Cang’e Tree.
Since the Ancient Cang’e Tree had taken root in him, he could obtain the greatest improvement.
Xiao Shi naturally had nothing to hesitate about. However, before taking root in him, Xiao Shi needed to settle the entire Tree Shadow City. After all, the current Tree Shadow City was located on the branches of the Ancient Cang’e Tree.
If the Ancient Cang’e Tree takes root in him at this time, it would inevitably cause greater damage to the Tree Shadow City. Because they were going to retreat secretly. Therefore, Xiao Shi did not want to cause too much commotion and attract the attention of the other factions.
He decided to let the Eastern Palace of the Swift Shadow Palace return to the Five Shadows City. It allowed the Swift Shadow Palace to remain intact.
At the same time, Xiao Shi summoned Cheng Tianhao that day. He told Cheng Tianhao about their preparations to retreat.
“Before I leave, I’ll give you the entire Swift Shadow Palace.” Xiao Shi said. He could not bring Cheng Tianhao along this time. After all, only people from the Red Tiger lineage could head to the Imperial Domain.
Cheng Tianhao was not from the Red Tiger lineage. Even if he could leave Tiandou Province with them, he would not be able to enter the Imperial Domain. As his most capable subordinate, Xiao Shi naturally would not treat Cheng Tianhao badly. He was prepared to let Cheng Tianhao take over the entire Swift Shadow Palace.
The current Swift Shadow Palace was actually already under Xiao Shi’s control. It was not difficult to support Cheng Tianhao to the top. However, he was still more inclined to let Cheng Tianhao control the Swift Shadow Palace behind the scenes, instead of appearing on the surface.
In order to ensure that the Swift Shadow Palace could survive in Tiandou Province safely in the future,
Xiao Shi felt that there was still a need for him to clean up the abbot of Leimiao Monastery and the sect master of the Extreme Fire Sect. It was to ensure that no one in Tiandou Province could threaten the Swift Shadow Palace.
After all, after he left this time, he would take the Ancient Cang’e Tree with him and could not leave any powerful guarantee for Cheng Tianhao. He could only sweep everything away for him before he left..
