However, Xiao Shi thought about it again. If these people had a way to find him, it would be meaningless even if he stayed in Five Shadows City. It was impossible for the Swift Shadow Palace to vouch for him.
Even if they wanted to protect him, they could not. Although he could rely on the Ancient Cang’e Tree here, these people who had come to find the Palace Master of the Heavenly Mystery Palace all had powerful strength.
The Ancient Cang’e Tree alone was not enough to contend with these people.
Which meant, as long as these people could find him, no matter where he stayed, it was impossible for him to be safe.
“I need to know more information related to the Heavenly Mystery Palace.” Xiao Shi said to Cheng Tianhao with a solemn expression. He had to confirm it now. How could these experts who came find him?
That day, through his status and authority in the Swift Shadow Palace, Cheng Tianhao obtained a relatively detailed understanding of the entire Heavenly Mystery Palace. He quickly explained the information he had learned and told Xiao Shi.
Because the entire Heavenly Mystery Palace was too famous in the Tianwu Continent, therefore, even the Swift Shadow Palace had a certain level of understanding of the Heavenly Mystery Palace.
“The terrifying thing about the Heavenly Mystery Palace is firstly the members of the Heavenly Mystery Palace.
“Although very few people know how to become a member of the Heavenly Mystery Palace, the Heavenly Mystery Palace has developed to this point. Even though it has been silent for hundreds of years, the number of members of the Heavenly Mystery Palace has already developed to an extremely terrifying level. It can be said to be spread throughout the entire Tianwu Continent.
“There are members of the Heavenly Mystery Palace in many factions. From some overlords who rule a region to ordinary passersby and beggars, there are members of the Heavenly Mystery Palace.
“This also allows the Heavenly Mystery Palace to have an extremely powerful intelligence system that other factions can’t have!
“In terms of intelligence, there has never been a faction that can compare to the Heavenly Mystery Palace. Even the former Great Wu Empire is inferior to the Heavenly Mystery Palace in terms of intelligence.” Cheng Tianhao lamented.
Xiao Shi nodded. With the entire Tianwu Continent filled with members of the Heavenly Mystery Palace, one could imagine how powerful this faction’s intelligence system was. However, just the information alone was clearly not enough to allow the Heavenly Mystery Palace to have its current status.
Then Cheng Tianhao continued. “Of course, intelligence is only a powerful part of the Heavenly Mystery Palace.
“Apart from the information, there’s also a strange box in the Heavenly Mystery Palace called the Heavenly Mystery Box. It’s said that various items can be obtained in the Heavenly Mystery Box. In the past, some experts and even a faction had directly risen through the items in the Heavenly Mystery Box.
“It’s just that ever since the Heavenly Mystery Palace fell silent, the Heavenly Mystery Box has never appeared in the Tianwu Continent again.”
Xiao Shi’s heart stirred. As expected. It was just as he had guessed. The Heavenly Mystery Box was indeed related to the Heavenly Mystery Palace.
Under normal circumstances, it was clearly impossible for the Heavenly Mystery Box to appear on the Tianwu Continent. However, Xiao Shi successfully dropped the Heavenly Mystery Box through his own drop and obtained the lost Heavenly Mystery Mask.
He couldn’t help but think, if he had not dropped the Heavenly Mystery Box, would the Heavenly Mystery Mask not have reappeared on the Tianwu Continent?
It was as if a closed loop had been formed. Without the Heavenly Mystery Mask, there would not be the Heavenly Mystery Box. However, the Heavenly Mystery Mask existed in the Heavenly Mystery Box.
Perhaps this was also the reason why the Heavenly Mystery Mask had not appeared on the Tianwu Continent for hundreds of years.
Apart from the powerful intelligence system and the Heavenly Mystery Box, the Heavenly Mystery Palace was also extraordinary in other aspects. However, its powerful intelligence system and the unique Heavenly Mystery Box were the most famous.
It became the main signboard of the Heavenly Mystery Palace.
Xiao Shi also understood from this information that the Heavenly Mystery Palace was different from ordinary factions. This faction did not want to continuously recruit talents and expand their territory to dominate. This was a relatively idle faction.
Through Cheng Tianhao’s investigation, Xiao Shi also understood. The experts who came to look for the Palace Master of the Heavenly Mystery Palace all searched through the fluctuations of the aura.
It was said that the Palace Master of the Heavenly Mystery Palace would have a special aura fluctuation. Ordinary people might not be able to tell. However, to these experts, they could sense the difference in this aura.
“It’s indeed an aura.” Xiao Shi narrowed his eyes. In fact, when he examined himself, he could already vaguely feel that his aura was different from before. However, he could not tell whether this was because he had broken through from the Qi Martial Realm to the Blood Martial Realm, or whether it was also a change brought about by his identity as the Palace Master of the Heavenly Mystery Palace.
After Cheng Tianhao’s investigation, Xiao Shi finally confirmed the change in his aura was mainly because of his identity as the Palace Master of the Heavenly Mystery Palace.
“Then, I only need to hide my aura through the Martial Emperor Mask.” Xiao Shi heaved a sigh of relief.
If it was anyone else, it was definitely very difficult to hide the aura. In particular, the special aura brought about by the identity of the Palace Master of the Heavenly Mystery Palace was even more difficult to hide.
However, under the effect of the Martial Emperor’s Mask, Xiao Shi did not have to worry at all.
In this way, he could also go outside Five Shadow City to hunt in the Blood Martial Realm according to the original plan. As for the current turmoil and chaos in Tiandou Province, he wasn’t worried.
As long as his identity as the palace master of the Heavenly Mystery Palace was not exposed, he was confident that he could survive..
