141 Branch of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect? (2)
It immediately emitted from the flying ship. It enveloped everyone in the Red Tiger Sect.
The next moment, the figures of everyone from the Red Tiger Sect instantly disappeared from the sect. They appeared on the huge blue flying ship. Only then did they see that the person standing on the blue flying ship was a tall, white-haired old man in a blue battle robe. His eyes seemed to be condensed with lightning.
It was hard to look at him directly. The terrifying cultivation fluctuations made their hearts tremble. They felt that the person standing in front of them was not a person, but a peerless ferocious beast. There was a fear that came from the depths of their souls, from the level of their lives.
Behind the old man, there were also three youths following him. Two men and a woman. They were all wearing blue battle robes. From the cultivation fluctuations emitted from their bodies, they seemed to be in the Blood Martial Realm.
Guo Chengdao endured his fear of the white-haired old man and tried his best not to tremble in front of him. He cupped his fists respectfully. “Lord… Lord, I wonder if you can bring the outer sect disciples of our Red Tiger Sect with you?”
He realized only the people from their Red Tiger Sect’s upper sect appeared on the flying ship. The outer sect disciples of the lower sect were not brought up.
The white-haired old man glanced at him indifferently. “There are many Martial Entry-Level cultivators in the Tiandou Province.”
It was just a sentence. He rejected Guo Chengdao’s request.
Guo Chengdao opened his mouth. He wanted to ask again. However, he could sense a trace of impatience on the other party’s face. He could only remain bitter and silent. He could sense an unquestionable dominance from the other party.
They knew very well that for a small sect like theirs to be able to let the other party come and take them away was already the greatest gift to them. He was not qualified to ask the other party for anything.
After bringing everyone from the Red Tiger Sect onto the flying ship, the white-haired old man waved his hand. The entire huge blue flying ship immediately turned into a bolt of lightning and instantly left.
Although its speed was shocking, there was a barrier on the flying ship, preventing everyone in the flying ship from being affected. Otherwise, most people’s bodies would not be able to withstand such a shocking speed.
The disciples of the Red Tiger Sect were a little uneasy on the flying ship. The white-haired old man in front of them gave them too much pressure. Even Guo Chengdao did not dare to say anything else. He was afraid of angering the other party.
In the crowd, Xiao Shi was very surprised that the Swift Shadow Palace had arrived but did not eliminate the evil spirits here.
Originally, in their opinion, once the people from the Xingluo Territory arrived, they would definitely eliminate the evil spirits in the Seven Star Province and return it to normal. From there, the entire Seven Star Province would be included in the territory of the Xingluo Territory.
However, after the Swift Shadow Palace arrived, they only brought the people from the Red Tiger Sect away. It had no intention of eliminating the many evil spirits in the Seven Star Province. It was obvious that he did not intend to take the Seven Star Province into his territory.
“Could it be that they only took a fancy to the forces in the Seven Star Province?” Xiao Shi really could not figure out the thoughts of the Swift Shadow Palace.
Logically speaking, the factions in the Seven Star Province did not have much meaning and value to them. After all, there were countless of such small factions in the entire Xingluo Territory. There was no need for them to specially come and take them away.
Among them, there must be some unknown secret.
Under the rapid driving of the flying ship, it arrived above the Seven Stars Sect. Xiao Shi originally thought that the Swift Shadow Palace would take away the Seven Stars Sect like they had done to the Red Tiger Sect previously.
However, even when the flying ship arrived above the Seven Stars Sect, it did not stop at all and flew past. They had no intention of accepting the Seven Stars Sect at all! This surprised Xiao Shi even more. “Could it be that they specially came here to… take away the Red Tiger Sect?!”
Xiao Shi was not the only one who was surprised. Guo Chengdao and the three elders were also shocked. Although their Red Tiger Sect was one of the top sects in the Seven Star Province, it was far inferior to the Seven Stars Sect in terms of strength.
However, the Swift Shadow Palace chose to take them away and ignored the Seven Stars Sect. This shocked them. In an instant, the flying ship had already flown out of the Seven Star Province.
Apart from the Red Tiger Sect, they did not take away any faction in the Seven Star Province. Now, it was not only Xiao Shi and Guo Chengdao who were shocked and puzzled. Even the three youths beside the white-haired old man were extremely puzzled along the way.
“This Red Tiger Sect is only an inconspicuous small sect. Why did Master specially come to take them away?” One of the three youths could not help but ask.
The white-haired old man looked ahead. His gaze was ethereal. He said calmly, “I’m sure you all know that in the past, there was a powerful sect in the Great Wu Empire. Its name was… the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect. Red Tiger was one of the four symbols of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect.”
The three youths were shocked. Although they had never seen the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect back then, they had heard about how powerful and terrifying this sect was.
However, as the imperial power of the Great Wu Empire collapsed, the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect had also fallen apart many years ago.
“Master, are you suspecting that this Red Tiger Sect is related to the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect?” One of the young men asked.
“That’s right.” The white-haired old man nodded. “Even if the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect has long ceased to exist, even if this Red Tiger Sect is really a branch of the Red Tiger of the Four Symbols back then and is only a completely declining small sect now, it still has a certain value. Perhaps we can master the profoundness of that realm through this sect. At that time…”
As the white-haired old man spoke, the three youths understood what their master meant at the same time. No wonder Master specially came this time to take this inconspicuous sect away.
But they also knew this Red Tiger Sect might not be the Red Tiger Branch of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect back then. Perhaps it was just a similar name. After all, with the size of the Tianwu Continent, it was not as if there were no sects with the same name.
However, even if this Red Tiger Sect was not a branch of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect, they came to take them away. It was not a difficult thing. It was just a piece of cake. It would not be a loss to them.
However, once this Red Tiger Sect was really a branch of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect, then their actions this time would be very meaningful!
As for the entire Seven Star Province, although they had the ability to eliminate these evil spirits, it didn’t mean much.
The Xingluo Territory had no intention of occupying the Seven Star Province. After all, the Seven Star Province was only a barren small continent. It was just a small addition to the game between the two territories. It was enough for the Xingluo Territory to make the Cangyan Territory lose a province. They did not need this poor little province.
More importantly, it was to win the game between them.
“The Cangyan Territory thought that they could disgust us by turning this place into an evil spirit world. Little did they know that… we had long expected them to do this.” The white-haired elder looked at the Seven Star Province that was gradually disappearing into the distance. He sneered in his heart.
Through this game, they had successfully probed some of the styles of the Cangyan Territory. They realized that the Cangyan Territory was a territory without any bottom line.
In order to prevent them from obtaining the Seven Star Province, they actually reached an agreement with the evil cult organization that had always been hostile to them to create an evil spirit world in the entire Seven Star Province.
This was something that the Xingluo Territory could not do. Although the Xingluo Territory also prioritized benefits, it was impossible for them to collude with a tumor like a cult organization.
In this game, the Xingluo Territory had the upper hand, however, the white-haired old man knew that this was only the first game between the two territories. After that, there would be more and more games between the two sides.
“I believe that soon, there will be a war between the two territories!” The white-haired old man’s expression was solemn. There was also some urgency in his heart. He was eager to grasp the profundity of that realm before the war arrived. “Red Tiger Sect… don’t disappoint me!”
He took a deep look at the Red Tiger Sect’s disciples on the flying ship. He had already thought of how to settle down the Red Tiger Sect.
