“I remember.” Xiao Shi nodded. Previously, Xiang Zizhen had instructed him to increase his strength as soon as possible so that he could participate in this operation. From this, Xiao Shi realized that this operation was not simple.
“Originally, I wanted to tell you about this operation after your strength increased, but the situation has changed. It is necessary to inform you of this operation now. I think you know that too.
“Apart from us, the members of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect, a portion of the disciples in the Xingluo Province unfortunately fell into the hands of the Lord of Xingluo and were secretly imprisoned by him.” Xiang Zizhen said in a low voice.
Xiao Shi nodded slightly. Before coming to the Xingluo Province, he had already learned that
Although the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect had been destroyed many years ago, no one had ever found the altar of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect. If he wanted to find the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect, he had to break through the Four Symbols Mysteries of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect.
However, the secrets of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect could only be seen through by people from the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect.
Therefore, many people who knew this secret were either intentionally or unintentionally searching for the few remaining branches of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect.
As an insider, the Lord of Xingluo had always been searching for these remaining branch disciples. Currently, there was a group of Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect’s disciples imprisoned in the hands of the Lord of Xingluo.
“The operation I’m talking about is… to save these imprisoned members of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect! I already know where they’re being held. Now, as long as the time is right, we will immediately rescue them.” Xiang Zizhen said seriously.
Xiao Shi was shocked. Although he realized that the operation Xiang Zizhen mentioned was not simple, he did not expect it to be to save these imprisoned members of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect.
In Xiao Shi’s opinion, it was almost impossible. With how much the lord valued these Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect disciples, even if they knew where they were imprisoned, it was unrealistic to save them.
The first person they would have to face might very well be the lord! As the lord of the Xingluo Territory, no matter what, it was not something they could resist. From Xiao Shi’s expression, Xiang Zizhen had already guessed his thoughts.
“Don’t worry, this operation is not tempting fate. I’m confident enough. The others also know about this operation. When the time comes, they will all participate. However, it’s not the time yet. I can’t reveal some important information for the time being.
“I’m telling you now because I want you to prepare for this as soon as possible. On the other hand, 1 want you to have enough time to arrange for the people from the Red Tiger lineage on your side.
“You have to know that once this operation is launched, regardless of success or failure, it will be difficult for us to continue surviving in the Xingluo Province.
“And in our plan, one of the reasons why we want to save these believers is because we don’t want to stay in the Xingluo Province anymore. We’re preparing to go home.” Xiang Zizhen said earnestly.
“Home?” Xiao Shi was puzzled.
“Yes, home!” Xiang Zizhen said seriously. “Our Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect has always been the divine sect of the Great Wu Empire. Although the Great Wu Empire has already collapsed, the Great Wu Empire’s fate is not over yet. It still occupies a corner of the Tianwu Continent. As a member of the Great Wu Empire, as long as there’s a chance, we naturally have to return to the dynasty.
“That’s our home!”
Xiao Shi understood. “In other words, not only do we want to save these members, but we also want to retreat from the Xingluo Province.”
As he learned more information, Xiao Shi also realized that this rescue operation was not simple. Although he did not know where the Great Wu Empire was and how far it was from the Xingluo Province, he also knew that this kind of long-distance crossing was not easy. It was definitely not something that a few disciples of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect could do.
“It seems that there will be an even higher existence involved in this matter.” Xiao Shi thought of Xiang Zizhen’s master. With such an advanced existence participating, there was indeed hope!
“What is the current situation of the Great Wu Empire?” Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xiao Shi began to inquire about the Great Wu Empire from Xiang Zizhen.
The Great Wu Empire was now a taboo in the various territories. The information and topics regarding the Great Wu Empire were all blocked.
Back then, one of the reasons why Xiao Shi decided to come to the Xingluo Province to find these Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect’s members was to obtain relevant information about the Great Wu Empire from them.
Xiang Zizhen clearly knew a lot about this. So he did not hide anything and told Xiao Shi what he knew.
“After the imperial power of the Great Wu Empire collapsed, the entire Tianwu Continent was in a state of secession. As far as I know, the Tianwu Continent has a total of 33 territories. The Xingluo Territory is one of them.
“Apart from these 33 territories, there are also three large domains. Be it the territory or overall strength, these three domains are far stronger than the 33 territories. To a certain extent, these three domains are like three independent kingdoms!
“The ones in charge of these three domains were the three Heavenly Kings of the Great Wu Empire back then. Many years ago, these three Heavenly Kings had already reached the realm above the Sage Realm..”
