“At the very least, he will definitely investigate this faction that has entered his sight. I can’t take the risk!” Xiao Shi pinched his glabella.
From the current situation, the Red Tiger Sect had yet to enter the sights of the various factions in the Tiandou Province and had hidden very well. After all, the Red Tiger Sect was a small faction that had migrated from the Seven Star Province.
No one would pay attention to such a small force.
Apart from Luo Jun, the others did not pay much attention to the Red Tiger Sect. Of course, they could not stay in the Swift Shadow Palace anymore.
On the one hand, Xiao Shi had already started a war with Luo Jun and controlled the entire Tree Shadow City with the Ancient Cang’e Tree. There was no room for reconciliation with the Swift Shadow Palace.
On the other hand, even if they could continue to stay in the Swift Shadow Palace, it was not a safe thing to do. Once the Swift Shadow Palace noticed the Red Tiger Sect one day, there might also be a problem.
“We definitely have to be independent, but we can’t be independent in the name of the Red Tiger Sect, we have to be independent in other names, such as… independence in the name of Luo Jun!”
A thought suddenly flashed across Xiao Shi’s mind. He looked at Luo Jun and asked, “Apart from being able to read his memories, can you control him?”
Xiao Shi felt that since the existence in the black coffin could read Luo Jun’s memories, it should have the ability to control him. If he could control Luo Jun, then he could push Luo Jun out and become independent in Luo Jun’s name.
However, Luo Jun shook his head. “I can only read his memories. 1 can’t control him.” Xiao Shi’s heart sank. However, the other party continued. “However… the Ancient Cang’e Tree can do it!”
Bro! Can’t you finish your sentence in one go?
The corners of Xiao Shi’s mouth twitched. “Help me control him.”
As long as they controlled Luo Jun and became independent in his name, they would think that this matter was caused by Luo Jun’s rebellion in Tree Shadow City and had nothing to do with their Red Tiger Sect.
Their Red Tiger Sect was only forced to be involved in this dispute.
“Not yet.” Luo Jun shook his head again.
“Hmm? Xiao Shi frowned slightly.
“Although the Ancient Cang’e Tree can control him, it still lacks an important thing.” Luo Jun said seriously.
“What important thing?” Xiao Shi hurriedly asked.
“Your tree seed! 1 know very well what kind of control you want. Although 1 can read his memories and control him to talk to you normally, this control is on me. Once 1 fall into a deep sleep, my control over him will disappear. I believe that this is definitely not the control you want. It’s only safe if you control it yourself. So, this requires your tree seed!”
Xiao Shi nodded. It was indeed safe to control him himself. If he could control him with his tree seed, that would naturally be the best situation.
Immediately, Xiao Shi had a thought. A shadow suddenly appeared behind him. This shadow was not his own shadow, but a tree shadow with thick trunks and lush leaves.
It had been a long time since Xiao Shi had used the tree shadow. It was mainly because his strength had increased too quickly that the growth of the tree shadow could not keep up with his strength. This made the tree shadow seem a little useless in his hands.
However, the tree shadow had become the key to his control of Luo Jun. A tree shadow appeared behind Xiao Shi.
Black smoke spread from Luo Jun’s palm. He raised his hand, pressed down on the ground below him. Immediately, the tree shadow behind Xiao Shi trembled violently. While it was shaking, the tree shadow let out a sharp roar.
Every branch on it was dancing wantonly. It was as if it was undergoing some kind of transformation.
Xiao Shi could clearly feel that the entire tree shadow and the Ancient Cang’e Tree had formed an inseparable connection. It did not last long. His tree shadow was already different from before.
Swoosh!
A branch in the tree shadow shot out like lightning. It pierced straight into the back of Luo Jun’s neck. The black smoke that had seeped into Luo Jun’s body earlier also floated out at this moment so that Xiao Shi could control it easily.
Pfft!
Not long after the branch pierced the back of Luo Jun’s neck, it was pulled out. It retracted into the tree shadow.
Xiao Shi could feel that the entire tree shadow had become much weaker. It seemed to have a huge consumption. He looked at Luo Jun in front of him. His expression and gaze did not change at all.
The only difference was that he looked at Xiao Shi with respect and fanaticism. This kind of control was not to turn Luo Jun into a puppet. Instead, it changed his understanding. In Luo Jun’s understanding, Xiao Shi was his most respected and loyal master. He would obey all the orders Xiao Shi gave him unconditionally.
He respected Xiao Shi. To a certain extent, it was the same as the Lunar Seal that Xiao Shi had left on Cheng Tianhao and the others. The difference was that this kind of control of the tree shadow was of a higher level and had more benefits.
For example, after Luo Jun was controlled, he could obtain strength from the Ancient Cang’e Tree, allowing his strength to increase greatly when fighting in the range of the Ancient Cang’e Tree.
His previous injuries and the foundation that had been burned by the Yin Flame would also be repaired. He believed that he would be able to return to the Martial Soul Realm soon.
Xiao Shi now had an additional servant at the Martial Soul Realm. He checked the status of the tree shadow. He realized that although the tree shadow was much weaker, it should be possible to control another Martial Soul Realm expert.
Xiao Shi thought of the Fifth Elder in Tree Shadow City. If he controlled the Fifth Elder together and used his and Luo Jun’s names to become independent, he believed that this would be the most reasonable situation.
After all, if Luo Jun wanted to betray the Swift Shadow Palace and become independent, he would definitely choose his own Shadow Sword City. There was no reason for him to choose Tree Shadow City to become independent.
If the fifth elder was with him, that would explain it. Moreover, Xiao Shi had thought of the name of the sect after independence.
It was called the Tree Shadow Sect. As the Red Tiger Sect in the Tree Shadow City, it naturally merged into the Tree Shadow Sect. As such, he believed that no one would pay attention to the Red Tiger Sect.
They would only focus on the Tree Shadow Sect and no one would think too much about the Red Tiger Sect.
That day, Xiao Shi followed his plan and directly controlled the fifth elder of the Swift Shadow Palace through the tree shadows.
Although the fifth elder of the Swift Shadow Palace was powerful, he could not resist at all in front of the Ancient Cang’e Tree, and was easily controlled by Xiao Shi through the tree shadow.
After controlling two Martial Soul Realm experts in a row, Xiao Shi’s tree shadow completely withered. For the next long period, he would not be able to continue this control. As for the other disciples of the Swift Shadow Palace in the Tree Shadow City, the Ancient Cang’e Tree could control them.
“Then, the next step is to get Luo Jun and the fifth elder to step forward and announce the independence of the Tree Shadow Sect. With this, we can start a war with the Swift Shadow Palace.”
Xiao Shi still chose to hide behind the scenes. Moreover, he was not the only one hiding behind the scenes this time. He hid the entire Red Tiger Sect behind the scenes. On the surface, it was the Tree Shadow Sect who was the main, but it was still controlled by the Red Tiger Sect.
Even if it attracted the attention of the lord of the Xingluo Territory, he would not associate this Tree Shadow Sect with the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect.
Xiao Shi felt that even so, the disciples of the Red Tiger Sect had to keep a low profile in the Tiandou Province. At the very least, they could not reveal that the Red Tiger Sect was a branch of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect before he had the ability to resist the lord of the Xingluo Territory.
That day, Xiao Shi quickly made arrangements. Guo Chengdao originally thought that they would become independent in the name of the Red Tiger Sect, but he did not expect this Patriarch to make a major adjustment at the last minute.
Although he did not know the exact reason, Guo Chengdao had never had any objections to the Patriarch’s decision. He was just shocked. The two Martial Soul Realm experts of the Swift Shadow Palace actually listened to the Patriarch and regarded themselves as servants..
