This was not the first time he had come to the palace. Back then, before heading to the special area, the Martial Demon Realm cultivators who were about to enter were summoned to the palace. However, at that time, he was still an inconspicuous little translucent person.

And now, everyone’s gazes were focused on him, the fourth Heavenly King.

“I announce that from today onwards, you are the Heavenly King of my Great Wu Empire.” The prince smiled and conferred the t.i.tle to Xiao s.h.i.+. He had already treated Xiao s.h.i.+ as a member of the Great Wu Empire.

After all, in his eyes, from the moment Xiao s.h.i.+ stepped into the Imperial Domain, regardless of whether the other party was willing or not, he could only stay in the Great Wu Empire in the future.

If Xiao s.h.i.+ was willing to submit and serve the Great Wu Empire, this was naturally the most ideal situation. Even if Xiao s.h.i.+ was unwilling, he would be imprisoned in the Great Wu Empire in the future and become a “Heavenly King” in name only.

The conferment of Xiao s.h.i.+ by the prince also contained a deeper meaning. He wanted to use this to provoke the three demiG.o.d Heavenly Kings.

The three demiG.o.d Heavenly Kings were filled with disdain for Xiao s.h.i.+. They looked down on a mere Sage and felt that this Sage was not worthy of being on par with the three demiG.o.ds. And he wanted this Sage that they looked down on to have the same t.i.tle as them.

This was to counterattack the three demiG.o.d Heavenly Kings.

Ever since the Martial Emperor died and the three demiG.o.d Heavenly Kings left the Great Wu Empire, the three of them had been constantly suppressing and weakening the Great Wu Empire.

If not for the uniqueness of the Imperial Domain, preventing the three demiG.o.d Heavenly Kings from entering the Imperial Domain, they would have long attacked the Great Wu Empire.

As for the Great Wu Empire, they did not have any demiG.o.ds. Therefore, they could only defend the Imperial Domain under the suppression of the three demiG.o.d Heavenly Kings and were unable to expand their factions. He was unable to retaliate against the three demiG.o.d Heavenly Kings.

Until this moment, the prince had just made his first counterattack against the three demiG.o.d Heavenly Kings through the conferment of Xiao s.h.i.+! This made him extremely happy.

Xiao s.h.i.+ ignored the conferment of the prince. He looked around the palace. He did not see Xiang Zizhen and the people from the Red Tiger Sect. Through his senses, he discovered that Xiang Zizhen and the people of the Red Tiger Sect were currently imprisoned in the Imperial City.

This prison was still a distance away from the palace.

After Xiao s.h.i.+ thought for a while, he felt that he needed to think of a way to get the prince to bring Xiang Zizhen and the people from the Red Tiger Sect over first.

He looked at the prince and said, “I can join the Great Wu Empire again, but you have to give me Xiang Zizhen and the people from the Red Tiger Sect.”

When the prince heard this, the corners of his mouth curled up. It was as if he had expected Xiao s.h.i.+ to answer like this. He raised his hand and snapped his fingers. Immediately, Xiang Zizhen and a group of people from the Red Tiger Sect appeared out of thin air in the palace hall.

When Xiang Zizhen and the Red Tiger Sect saw Xiao s.h.i.+, their expressions were complicated. Especially Xiang Zizhen. On the one hand, he was touched that Xiao s.h.i.+ had come to save him. On the other hand, he was worried about Xiao s.h.i.+’s current situation.

Once Xiao s.h.i.+ entered the Imperial Domain, he would definitely not have the chance to escape. He would be imprisoned in the Great Wu Empire for the rest of his life. Even if Xiang Zizhen trusted Xiao s.h.i.+’s strength very much, he did not think that Xiao s.h.i.+ could forcefully take them away from here after entering the Imperial Domain.

Not to mention anything else, just the two Daolords, Chen Yuan and Cheng Riyou, were far from what Xiao s.h.i.+, as a Sage, could resist!

The prince looked down at Xiao s.h.i.+. “From now on, w.a.n.g Xiao, you will stay in our Great Wu Empire. I can give you these people from the Red Tiger Sect, but Xiang Zizhen has committed a heinous crime and violated many prohibitions of our Great Wu Empire. He has to die!”

A sharp glint flashed across Xiao s.h.i.+’s eyes. This was not the first time he had heard the words of the prince. In the three future scenes he had seen through the Heavenly Mystery Disc, the prince had said the same thing in the first future scene. In that future scene, after the prince said this, Xiao s.h.i.+ roared and self-destructed.

However, Xiao s.h.i.+ did not have any thoughts of self-destructing. This also meant that this future mirror image was not accurate.

Xiao s.h.i.+ stared at the prince with a cold gaze. “1’11 repeat myself. I want to take away all the people from Xiang Zizhen and the Red Tiger Sect. Not a single one can be missing.”

The prince smiled. He said nothing. He only leaned back on the throne behind him.

Cheng Riyou, who was standing at the side, immediately understood and took a step forward, staring at Xiao s.h.i.+ with an unfriendly expression. “How rude. Do you think this is your territory? Do you have the final say? Looks like you haven’t figured out the situation yet. Then let me tell you who has the final say in our Great Wu Empire!”

A terrifying aura belonging to the Daolord immediately spread out from Cheng Riyou’s body, causing the entire palace hall to tremble. He raised his hand and was about to teach Xiao s.h.i.+ a lesson. Suddenly, his expression changed.

At the same time, the expressions of the prince and Chen Yuan also changed. Including the Sages here, all of them did the same thing at the same time, which was to look up at the sky. With their ability, they could easily penetrate the roof beams of the hall and see the sky above.

The golden sky suddenly turned dark red and spread out at an extremely fast speed, engulfing all the gold.

The entire golden sky of the Great Wu Empire was dyed dark red. Ever since the Great Wu Empire was established, such a scene had never appeared. Even when the Martial Emperor died, the sky of the Imperial Domain remained resplendent golden.

However, at this moment, the sky of the Imperial Domain was dyed dark red.

A terrifying aura spread throughout the entire Imperial Domain under the change in the sky, causing everyone in the Imperial Domain to feel that something was amiss. They all looked up at the sky in unison.

From the Daolord to the commoners, everyone’s hearts surged with fear at this moment. Especially the prince! The crisis that filled his mind was the strongest. It made his body tremble uncontrollably.

“How is this possible… This… How is this possible!!” The prince muttered softly. His eyes were filled with disbelief. He could clearly sense that this crisis that filled his mind was no longer only threatening him, but the entire Imperial Domain! This stunned him.

One had to know that in the current Tianwu Continent, even if the three strongest demiG.o.d Heavenly Kings joined forces, they would not be able to pose a threat to the Imperial Domain. In his understanding, nothing could threaten the entire Imperial Domain.

However, the sense of danger that appeared at this moment made him have a strong intuition that the entire Imperial Domain might be destroyed. This had already exceeded his understanding.

Soon, everyone in the Imperial Domain looked up. A huge petrified face pierced through the clouds and appeared in the sky. It was a petrified face that almost occupied the entire sky. It was filled with indifference. It was as if all living beings were ants below him.

“This… this is!!” The moment he saw this petrified face, the pupils of the prince constricted violently. He finally understood why he felt such a strong sense of danger. This petrified face… indeed had the ability to destroy the entire Imperial Domain!

The sky above the Imperial Domain had turned dark red, but the places outside the Imperial Domain were not affected. Yet the three demiG.o.d Heavenly Kings sensed something at the instant the Imperial Domain changed.

Swoos.h.!.+ They instantly appeared above their respective domains. They looked in the direction of the Imperial Domain with a solemn expression.

“It’s him!!” Even the three demiG.o.d Heavenly Kings revealed shocked expressions the moment they saw this petrified face. “Why… would it appear in the Imperial Domain?!” They looked at each other. Their eyes were filled with confusion..
