In Cheng Tianhao and the others’ minds, There had always been only one ancient tree crystal. There had never been many ancient tree crystals. But now, there were actually so many ancient tree crystals in Xiao Shi’s hand.
This shocked them.
“How… How did he get so many ancient tree crystals?” They were all puzzled. They increasingly felt that Xiao Shi was unfathomable. He was not as simple as it seemed. This made their hearts tremble. They suddenly felt that being the other party’s servant… was not a bad thing!
Especially for Cheng Tianhao, who had obtained the ancient tree crystal this time. He was even more convinced by Xiao Shi.
Xiao Shi was very satisfied with everyone’s reaction.
Although he had completely controlled them through the Lunar Seal, if he could make them acknowledge him from the bottom of their hearts and feel that becoming his servants was not a helpless thing, but a blessing, it would be more beneficial to his control over them.
As long as they could work for him well, Xiao Shi did not mind helping them increase their strength. To make them submit from the bottom of their hearts, they had to first show him their ability and value. He had to let them know. Following him would have a great future for them.
After giving the ancient tree crystal to Cheng Tianhao, Xiao Shi began to discuss with them what to say to the outside world after leaving. After some discussion, they agreed on what to say. They modified what had happened inside the ancient tree.
It hid Xiao Shi’s role in it. The focus was on Cheng Tianhao’s excellence. At the same time, there was a reasonable explanation for why Xiao Shi could survive in the end. It meant that in the process of clearing the level, as Xiao Shi’s cultivation fell to the mid-stage Qi Martial Realm, no one paid attention to him anymore, which allowed him to survive until the end.
As for Wei Chen’s death, the four of them had joined forces to kill him. After perfecting the details and ensuring that there were no mistakes, they left the ancient tree. As long as everyone’s words were the same, then, the Swift Shadow Palace would not have any doubts.
Whoosh!
When they left the ancient tree and appeared outside, there were already a few experts from the Swift Shadow Palace waiting here. After seeing them, their eyes lit up. However, a few of the experts’ expressions darkened when they did not see Wei Chen.
Earlier, through his conversation with Cheng Tianhao and the others, Xiao Shi had already understood that behind these Echelon competitors, there were different factions.
In the Swift Shadow Palace, Echelon disciples had many different factions. Their competition this time also involved the struggle between the factions behind them. However, Xiao Shi was not interested in these factional conflicts.
Soon, Cheng Tianhao and the other three left under the lead of the experts from their respective factions.
No one asked about Xiao Shi. He was also happy about this, too. After returning to the treehouse, Xiao Shi began to plan his next move. Now that he had become the owner of the Ancient Cang’e Tree, he could be considered to have completely stabilized himself in Tree Shadow City.
It was not an exaggeration to say that the entire Tree Shadow City was under his control. There were also Cheng Tianhao and the other two servants. Next, he had to wait for the nourishment of the Red Tiger Totem and find an opportunity to expand the remaining four vortexes to the limit. Then, he could carry out the last step of the Major Perfection Qi Martial realm.
Combination of Qi vortexes!
Because Xiao Shi walked the path of the Red Tiger Technique, especially after he obtained the Red Tiger Totem, he could not change his cultivation technique. Therefore, the combination he wanted to condense would also be in the red tiger form.
After condensing the Red Tiger Form, he could prepare for the breakthrough to the Blood Martial Realm.
Of course, the precondition was that he had successfully dropped the Martial Emperor Set of the Qi Martial-level after killing the martial artists. If the Martial Emperor Set did not drop, he would definitely have to stay in the Qi Martial Realm for a while. Therefore, the most important thing for him now was to find more targets to kill.
However, the people below the Major Perfection Qi Martial realm clearly could not satisfy his needs. After all, they could not drop high-quality items.
Xiao Shi needed to find a Major Perfection Qi Martial Realm cultivator to kill. Currently, among the many missions in Tree Shadow City, there was no mission that could kill a Major Perfection Qi Martial Realm cultivator.
Xiao Shi wondered if Cheng Tianhao and the others could make some arrangements for him. At the same time, Xiao Shi was also prepared to take care of Cen Qingci and the others through Cheng Tianhao and the others.
Previously, due to the matter of his identity, it was not easy to help them. Now that they had Cheng Tianhao and the other servants, it was very easy for Cen Qingci and the others to live comfortably in Tree Shadow City.
However, he also needed to grasp the scale. He could not improve too much at once and attract the attention of the Swift Shadow Palace.
After all, Cen Qingci was a hostage. She would always be under the gaze of the Swift Shadow Palace. If Cen Qingci received a huge boost, she would definitely attract attention. At that time, it would only backfire.
Just like that, Xiao Shi arrived at a luxurious tree house in Tree Shadow City two days later.
In the treehouse, Cheng Tianhao was already waiting here. After seeing Xiao Shi, he immediately greeted Xiao Shi respectfully. “Master.”
Xiao Shi nodded.
Now, with his authority in Tree Shadow City, he could easily block this treehouse, so that even the upper echelons of the Swift Shadow Palace could not hear their conversation through the treehouse..
