Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Two days later, Cheng Tianhao returned from the Land of Inheritance. This time, he had gained a lot in the Land of Inheritance. He had already successfully broken through from the Qi Martial Realm to the Blood Martial Realm.

When he heard that those Echelon disciples had designs on Xiao Shi’s blood beasts when he entered the Land of Inheritance, he was immediately furious. On the same day, he went to find these Echelon disciples and settled the scores one by one.

Cheng Tianhao’s actions directly caused a huge commotion in the Swift Shadow Palace. After all, as the most dazzling figure in the Swift Shadow Palace, his every move was closely watched.

When these Echelon disciples heard that Cheng Tianhao was coming to settle scores with them, they all expressed disdain. Even though Cheng Tianhao was like the sun in the sky now, he had only just stepped into the Blood Martial Realm.

As Echelon disciples, they had all stepped into the Blood Martial Realm for a certain period of time. They were not afraid of Cheng Tianhao at all.

“That’s good… This person’s momentum is too strong now! He doesn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth. It’s a good opportunity for us to teach him a lesson.” These Echelon disciples sneered.

The current Cheng Tianhao was too dazzling. They were all a little envious of this. They were just worried that they would not have the chance to teach him a lesson. Now, he just had to come knocking on their door.

If they could beat Cheng Tianhao up in the middle of everyone’s attention, it would undoubtedly be a chance for them to increase their reputation.

However, after they fought Cheng Tianhao, they realized they were not Cheng Tianhao’s match! Although Cheng Tianhao had just stepped into the Blood Martial realm, the strength he displayed was extremely powerful.

Even these Echelon disciples who had stepped into the Blood Martial Realm for a period of time were not his match. They were all defeated by Cheng Tianhao.

Everyone was shocked by the powerful strength Cheng Tianhao displayed. They had not expected Cheng Tianhao, who had just entered the Blood Martial realm, to be so ferocious. This gave them a new understanding of Cheng Tianhao’s strength.

Although Cheng Tianhao did not attack the Echelon disciples of his faction this time, he conveyed his dissatisfaction and anger. Therefore, in order to appease Cheng Tianhao’s anger, the other Echelon disciples of their faction had no choice but to make some compensation.

Originally, they did not have this plan. However, the strength that Cheng Tianhao displayed this time round gave them immense pressure. They knew that Cheng Tianhao was no longer the same as before.

Even though Cheng Tianhao had only joined their faction for a short period of time, he was someone who could not be underestimated. They had no choice but to lower their heads to him. The higher-ups of the Swift Shadow Palace came forward to mediate. Only then did this matter be considered over.

Through this battle, Cheng Tianhao’s reputation and status in the Swift Shadow Palace were even more resounding and his limelight was even greater.

As Cheng Tianhao returned, Xiao Shi immediately used Cheng Tianhao to see if there was any way to let him leave Five Shadows City. He knew very well that if he continued to stay in Five Shadows City, he would definitely not have the chance to kill Blood Martial Realm martial artists.

If he wanted to find a Blood Martial Realm martial artist to kill, he had to leave Five Shadows City. Due to the rule that one could not go out of the Swift Shadow Palace easily, it was obvious that Xiao Shi alone could not escape. He could only think of a way through Cheng Tianhao.

“Out?” When Cheng Tianhao found out that Xiao Shi wanted to go out, he could not help but be stunned. If it was before, he would definitely not be able to do it. However, with his current status and authority in the Swift Shadow Palace, it was not difficult to let Xiao Shi go out. However, he looked worried.

“Master, it’s very unsafe outside now. It might not be a good time to go out now.” Cheng Tianhao said solemnly. “I think Master should have seen the black mask that appeared in the sky above Tiandou Province before. Now, the entire Tiandou Province is in great turmoil because of this black mask! It’s actually the safest to stay in Five Shadows City at this time.”

Cheng Tianhao’s words made Xiao Shi’s heart skip a beat.

“How so?”

“I only found out about this from the First Elder yesterday.” Cheng Tianhao’s expression was solemn. With his current status in the Swift Shadow Palace, he could already come into contact with these secrets. “This black mask that appeared in the sky above Tiandou Province is called the Heavenly Mystery Mask. It belongs to the Palace Master of the Heavenly Mystery Palace.

“Now that the Heavenly Mystery Mask has reappeared, it means that a new Palace Master of the Heavenly Mystery Palace has been born. This involves an extremely huge faction, the Heavenly Mystery Palace!

“It’s said that this faction is extremely terrifying. It’s a famous faction in the entire Tianwu Continent. However, after the previous Palace Master died, the Heavenly Mystery Palace fell silent for hundreds of years.

“Not long ago, a new Palace Master was born and the Heavenly Mystery Palace reappeared on the Tianwu Continent! And this new Palace Master is in our Tiandou Province! Now, everyone wants to find this Palace Master.

“All the experts from the various provinces of the Xingluo Territory have already arrived in Tiandou Province! Although most of them are here for this palace master, there are also some who have other motives.

“This led to the current Tiandou Province being filled with fish and snakes. Moreover, there are many experts, and it’s not peaceful. Although it can still maintain some basic order and not be completely chaotic, this is a chaotic world after all.”

When Xiao Shi heard this, his expression was extremely solemn. Although he had already thought that the Heavenly Mystery Palace was not simple, he did not expect this to be a large faction that could shake the entire Tianwu Continent!

Such a faction had already surpassed the Swift Shadow Palace by too much. Even the Xingluo Territory was incomparably small in front of such a faction. Now, he had become the leader of such a huge faction?

Xiao Shi took a deep breath. He knew that this was not a good thing. It could be seen from the fact that everyone wanted to find him, the palace master of the Heavenly Mystery Palace.

The position of the palace master wasn’t easy to sit on. If he had invincible strength, then there would naturally be no problem.

But an ordinary member under him in such a huge faction might be above the Blood Martial Realm. And he as the Palace Master was only in the Blood Martial Realm. Once his identity as the Palace Master of the Heavenly Mystery Palace was exposed, it would definitely be a disaster!

After all, for a position like the Palace Master of the Heavenly Mystery Palace, it would definitely be coveted by countless people. He was a Blood Martial Realm cultivator, but he was sitting in such a position.

Once he was exposed, there must be countless people who wanted to snatch this position.

“So I’m already in such a dangerous situation!” Xiao Shi’s forehead was covered in sweat. Although he had been vigilant before, he still underestimated the impact of the Heavenly Mystery Palace. In that case, he could not expose his Heavenly Mystery Mask no matter what!

“Although Tiandou Province isn’t big, finding someone here is like finding a needle in a haystack. How do these people plan to find the Palace Master of the Heavenly Mystery Palace?” Xiao Shi asked. He was worried that these people who came to find him would have some special method to find him.

“I don’t know either.” Cheng Tianhao shook his head. “Maybe through some latent aura?”

Xiao Shi hurriedly checked himself. In terms of aura, he was not worried. With the Martial Emperor’s Mask in hand, he could hide all his aura. Ever since he obtained the Heavenly Mystery Mask, he had never worn it out of caution, so there shouldn’t be any traces left.

“I should be safe now” Xiao Shi thought to himself. His greatest reliance was the hiding of aura by the Martial Emperor Mask. Even if he had any hidden aura after obtaining the Heavenly Mystery Mask, it would disappear without a trace under the concealment of the Martial Emperor Mask.

Xiao Shi was mainly thinking now.

Under the current situation, could he still leave Five Shadows City?

With Cheng Tianhao’s explanation, he already had a rough understanding of the current situation in Tiandou Province. Leaving Five Shadows City at this time was indeed very risky. Especially since these people were all here for him.

However, if he did not go out and there was no Blood Martial Realm to kill here, he would stagnate in all aspects.

This gave Xiao Shi a headache..
