However, with the Shadow Master around, it was impossible for the Swift Shadow Palace to form an alliance with them. As long as the Shadow Master’s injuries recovered, they could directly suppress him and unify the Swift Shadow Palace again. What right did they have to form an alliance?
Besides, even if they agreed to form an alliance with them, the Shadow Master would take the lead. Then there would not be much meaning for them to be independent. It definitely wouldn’t work.
No matter what, the Shadow Master had to be eliminated. Only by dealing with the Shadow Master would they not be a threat and be able to take the initiative.
As the intelligence of the three elders, the First Elder of the Swift Shadow Palace immediately understood the other party’s intentions after careful thought. If both sides wanted to establish themselves in the Tiandou Province, they could only form an alliance.
Even if they formed an alliance, the two sides would no longer be able to compete with the Extreme Fire Sect and Lei Miao Monastery. It would fall from a first-tier faction to a second-tier faction.
After all, they no longer had Martial Soul Realm experts at the Spiritual Sense Stage. They could only protect themselves. They could not fight for a higher status. This was exactly what Xiao Shi wanted.
He did not want to see the Tree Shadow Sect attract too much attention. Even though the Tree Shadow Sect was the outer shell that covered the Red Tiger Sect, Xiao Shi wanted this shell to be as low-key as possible. Only then could he hide the Red Tiger Sect to the greatest extent.
Falling from the A-list to the B-list was very in line with Xiao Shi’s low-key development. The Swift Shadow Palace would no longer be the focus of attention in the Tiandou Province. This was the most beneficial for the Red Tiger Sect.
The First Elder of the Swift Shadow Palace sighed. She knew that they had no other choice now. They could only form an alliance with it. This was the only way for the Swift Shadow Palace to continue to establish itself in Tiandou Province, and only then could they survive.
That day, the two sides began to discuss the relevant matters after the alliance. As a “tool”, Xiao Shi did not participate in the detailed discussion. He left it to Luo Jun and Tong Binhong. He only needed to decide the specific direction behind the scenes.
After some discussion, they did not use the name of the Tree Shadow Sect. Instead, they divided the Swift Shadow Palace into the East Palace and the West Palace.
In a sense, it could deepen the alliance between them. Usually, both sides were still in charge of their respective cities, so Luo Jun returned to the Sword Shadow City. If he encountered something big, it would be discussed by the five elders.
Under such a discussion, the final decision was still in the hands of Luo Jun and Tong Binhong. Tree Shadow City did not return to its original location. Instead, it was located in a forest a distance away from the Swift Shadow Palace.
The reason why he had to be separated from the four Shadow Cities of the Swift Shadow Palace was mainly because Xiao Shi did not want the Red Tiger Sect to attract attention. This was their original intention for independence.
In any case, if other factions dared to have designs on them, the Ancient Cang’e Tree could immediately bring the Tree Shadow City back and form the Five Shadow City.
Just like that, Tree Shadow City had completed its initial independence.
Xiao Shi had basically put two layers of cover on the Red Tiger Sect. The first shell was the Swift Shadow Palace. The second shell was the Tree Shadow Sect, which was now the Swift Shadow East Palace.
With these two shells, he believed that it was enough to hide the Red Tiger Sect.
Of course, Xiao Shi also needed to implement the idea of low-key development in the Red Tiger Sect. This made these Red Tiger Sect’s disciples focus on keeping a low profile. This way, no one would notice the Red Tiger Sect.
Soon, the news of the change in the Swift Shadow Palace spread throughout the entire Tiandou Province. It attracted the attention of many factions in the Tiandou Province.
The ones who were most delighted about this were none other than the Extreme Fire Sect and Leimiao Monastery. After all, the Swift Shadow Palace was a first-tier faction like them and was their competitor. Now that they had one less competitor, it was naturally a situation they were happy to see.
They also developed the idea of annexing the Swift Shadow Palace.
“If I can swallow the Swift Shadow Palace, I can further strengthen myself. I will naturally be the strongest faction in Tiandou Province!”
Extreme Fire Sect and Lei Miao Monastery simultaneously turned their gazes to the Swift Shadow Palace.
The first step of the competition between the two sides was to see who would swallow the Swift Shadow Palace first. The side that swallowed the Swift Shadow Palace would have an absolute advantage.
However, just as they planned everything and prepared to take action…
On the high mountain of the Extreme Fire Sect, there was a huge explosion. It came from the top of the mountain and resounded in all directions. There was a cloud of dust with this explosion.
The sect master of the Extreme Fire Sect walked out of the sunken mountain wall. He stared at the departing figure in front of him and did not stop him. Until the other party disappeared did he look down at the black flames burning on his chest. He stretched out his right hand and pressed it down. It took him some effort to extinguish the black flames on his chest.
“What kind of flame is this!?” There was intense shock and fear in the eyes of the sect master of the Extreme Fire Sect.
As a sect that mainly cultivated fire, he believed that he had a certain understanding of most flames. However, he had never seen such a flame that could burn soul power. After pondering for a moment, the Sect Master of the Extreme Fire Sect quickly gave an order in the sect. “Stop attacking the Swift Shadow Palace!”
This mysterious expert who had just emerged from the Swift Shadow Palace had come this time deliberately to tell him that even if the sky had changed for the Swift Shadow Palace, it was not something their Extreme Fire Sect could touch.
Although the two sides had only fought for the first time, the other party’s black flames had already aroused the fear and importance of the sect master of the Extreme Fire Sect..
