Xiao Shi’s expression was solemn.
Although the Imperial Prince hated Xiang Zizhen, he was still a Sage of the Great Wu Empire. If there was no special reason, no matter how much he hated Xiang Zizhen, it was impossible for him to kill him. Especially since this actually involved people from the Red Tiger Sect.
“Then there’s only one possibility. The prince knows my identity and my relationship with Xiang Zizhen and the Red Tiger Sect. That’s why he’s harming them.” Xiao Shi narrowed his eyes. He knew that his concealment was not flawless.
Xiang Zizhen and the Red Tiger Sect were his greatest flaws. Although he believed that neither Xiang Zizhen nor the people of the Red Tiger Sect would betray him, as long as they were in the Imperial Domain, the prince had too many ways to make them reveal 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 the prince discovered something, it would definitely be detrimental to them. However, he did not expect the prince to move so quickly!
Xiao Shi frowned deeply. The current situation was very bad. Not only were Xiang Zizhen and the people of the Red Tiger Sect facing a huge crisis, but he was also facing the threat of the petrified face descending. All the danger seemed to have gathered in one place.
However, one thing was certain. The prince’s target was him. Currently, he would definitely not kill Xiang Zizhen and the people from the Red Tiger Sect. He would most likely put them under house arrest to threaten him.
“In that case, in what way will he deal with me?” Xiao Shi fell into deep thought. It was undeniable that Xiang Zizhen and the people of the Red Tiger Sect were indeed his weakness. It was impossible for Xiao Shi to sit back and watch the prince kill them.
Just as he was thinking seriously, he suddenly sensed a fluctuation from the Dream Jade. Xiao Shi’s gaze suddenly turned sharp. This Dream Jade was an important item for him to communicate with Xiang Zizhen alone.
Logically speaking, it was impossible for Xiang Zizhen to contact him through the dream jade now. Even if this Dream Jade fell into the hands of the prince, he would not be able to use this Dream Jade. This was because dreams were a power system unique to the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect. If they were not from the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect, they would not be able to use the dream jade even if they obtained it.
Looking at the Dream Jade that was constantly emitting fluctuations, Xiao Shi narrowed his eyes. He had already guessed who was using Xiang Zizhen’s dream jade to contact him. He did not hesitate. He reached out and grabbed the Dream Jade. After opening it, he entered the dream world.
The dream created by this dream jade would not pose any threat to him. Even if the other party wanted to deal with him in the dream, he could escape at any time. There would be no danger. He urgently needed to know the situation of Xiang Zizhen and the others. He had to meet them in the dream world.
As the dream jade was activated, a black light expanded in Xiao Shi’s palm, covering the surroundings with a layer of black curtains. The surrounding scenery began to distort and was replaced by darkness.
Xiao Shi appeared out of thin air in the pitch-black dream world.
In the past, when Xiao Shi, Xiang Zizhen, and the other members of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect met in the dream world, they were all in the form of figures of light that emitted light. Their figures and appearances could not be seen.
However, when he appeared in the dream world, he saw a clear figure without any light on its body. This allowed Xiao Shi to see this person’s appearance clearly. He had short light brown hair, a strong face, and a light beard.
It was just as he had guessed.
The person who contacted him through the dream jade was Xiang Zizhen’s master, the current sect master of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect, Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan placed his hands behind his back and stared at Xiao Shi, who had appeared in the dream world, with a pair of blue eyes that were as deep as the starry sky. His face was expressionless, and no one could tell his emotions and thoughts. After staring at Xiao Shi for two seconds, he spoke. “We already know who you are.”
Xiao Shi was not surprised. He asked, “How are Xiang Zizhen and the people of the Red Tiger Sect?”
“They’ve been imprisoned. Their lives won’t be in danger for the time being.” Chen Yuan replied.
Xiao Shi nodded. “Tell me, what do you want?”
Chen Yuan looked at Xiao Shi. “His Highness wants me to bring you into the Imperial Domain. I can use the dream jump of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect to allow you to avoid the demigod barrier and descend into the Imperial Domain.”
“But, this requires you to cooperate with me. If you don’t cooperate, 1 won’t be able to force you to descend into the Imperial Domain.”
The moment Chen Yuan said that, Xiao Shi immediately understood the intentions of the prince. The prince wanted to use Xiang Zizhen and the people of the Red Tiger Sect as bait to lure him into the Imperial Domain. If he stayed in his domain, the prince would definitely not be able to do anything to him.
And once he entered the Imperial Domain, he could only be at the mercy of the prince. However, the prince would not kill him. After all, his true intention was not to kill him, but to obtain his domain.
Therefore, even if he entered the Imperial Domain, he believed that the prince would not kill him. Instead, he would allow him to merge the fifth region into the Great Wu Empire. He would allow him to join the Great Wu Empire again. He would completely imprison him in the Great Wu Empire..
