Chapter 612: Hiding (2)

With the two of them working together, it shouldn’t be too difficult to pass the second round. As he continued forward, Xiao Shi discovered a huge pavilion in the forest in front of him. This pavilion happened to be at the intersection of the three paths. It was obvious that he wanted them to gather here and wait.
The people on the other two paths had yet to arrive. Xiao Shi waited in the pavilion with a group of guards. At the left and right ends of the pavilion, which was the entrance that connected to the other two official roads, there was a barrier. The existence of this barrier was clearly to prevent those who cleared it first from entering the checkpoints on the other two sides.
Help was forbidden. So he could only wait here. Other than that, there was also a barrier that led to the third checkpoint. This meant that before the people from the other two sides arrived, Xiao Shi would not be able to enter the third round.
While Xiao Shi waited, he also began to conceptualize the construction of the teleportation array. If he could build this teleportation array before entering the next checkpoint, it would undoubtedly be very beneficial for him in the next checkpoint.
Even in the face of an unmanageable crisis, he could also use teleportation to clear the level. However, after Xiao Shi tried, he realized that the construction of the teleportation array was far more complicated and difficult than he had imagined.
Although he had already successfully grasped the principles of the teleportation array, in order to establish the teleportation array, apart from needing many precious and rare materials, the most important thing was the location of the teleportation array. There were very high requirements.
Teleportation array formations were the most high-end, profound, and mysterious array formations among all array formations. It was not something that could be built anywhere. The location where the teleportation array was built had to be extremely stable.
The problem Xiao Shi was facing now was not about the rare materials needed to build it. Even though most of these construction materials were very rare, Xiao Shi’s large-scale killing in the sea had already given him many items. There was no shortage in terms of materials.
The problem he was facing now was mainly the location of the teleportation array. It was not stable enough, so he could not build it.
According to Xiao Shi’s idea, he was prepared to build the teleportation array formation in the inner space of the Ancient Cang’e Tree as the fourth array formation in the Ancient Cang’e Tree, just like the three array formations he had previously set up in the inner space of the Ancient Cang’e Tree.
However, he did not expect that the internal space of the Ancient Cang’e Tree did not have enough stability to build a teleportation array. To solve this problem, he had to increase the stability of the internal space of the Ancient Cang’e Tree. And only the Ancient Cang’e Tree itself could do this.
However, ever since the Ancient Cang’e Tree absorbed the heart of a divine tree in the demigod land where the Eye of the Emperor Judgment was sealed, it fell into a deep sleep. It had yet to wake up.
Xiao Shi could only wait for the Ancient Cang’e Tree to awaken and increase the stability of the internal space before he could build the teleportation array. He also felt a little regretful about this. If he could build a teleportation array at this time, he would not have to worry about the subsequent checkpoints.
But the Ancient Cang’e Tree was not far from awakening. At that time, the various abilities of the Ancient Cang’e Tree would definitely cause a huge increase. He believed that it would not be difficult to establish the teleportation array.
After Xiao Shi waited in this pavilion for a while, footsteps suddenly came from the official road on the left. Xiao Shi turned around. He realized that two Martial Demon Realm experts were leading a group of guards over.
One of them had a square face and dark and thick eyebrows. He was 1.9 meters tall and burly. The other person was a thin old man in a long robe with silver hair. He had a faint scholarly aura.
Both of them looked exhausted. Especially the thin old man. His entire left hand was still covered in a layer of ice and was in a frozen state. Moreover, this frozen state seemed to be impossible to resolve.
Other than that, Xiao Shi also noticed that the number of guards following behind them had also decreased. There were only eight guards following behind the tall man. As for the guards following behind the thin old man, half of them were gone, leaving only five people. These two people were both martial artists of the Great Wu Empire. Xiao Shi had an impression of them.
Especially that tall man. Just like Xiao Shi, they were both from the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect! However, this person was not a Martial Demon Realm cultivator from the Mountain God lineage that Chen Yuan had chosen. Instead, he was a disciple chosen by another Sage of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect.
Including Xiao Shi, there were a total of five members of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect who had entered this area. After all, the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect had a total of four Sages. Coupled with Chen Yuan, who was the Daolord, it had five spots.
Xiao Shi could clearly feel that this person was a disciple from the evil ghost lineage. While Xiao Shi was paying attention to the two of them, the two of them also saw Xiao Shi in the pavilion. But Xiao Shi was completely covered by a black cloak, preventing them from seeing Xiao Shi’s face.
Xiao Shi also hid his Red Tiger aura. As a result, this person from the evil ghost lineage did not realize that Xiao Shi was from the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect like him. As they could not see Xiao Shi’s face, this made the two of them instinctively tense up, unable to determine if the other party was from the three great domains.
If this person came from the three great domains, he might attack them. They had to be wary! Fortunately, as they approached, they sensed the taboo on Xiao Shi. Only then did they heave a sigh of relief. They also noticed that although the other party had a large number of people, the others were all guards.
This person was the only Martial Demon Realm cultivator. This stunned both of them.
“…Brother, where is your teammate?” The tall man from the evil ghost lineage could not help but ask.
“I killed him.” A hoarse and old voice came from under Xiao Shi’s black cloak. He did not intend to expose his identity here.
Although the prince and the others had already known of his existence when he followed Xiang Zizhen to the palace, Xiao Shi had already thought about it. Regardless of whether he successfully obtained this special area, he would create a fake death phenomenon.
It made everyone in the Great Wu Empire think that the Martial Demon Realm expert that Xiang Zizhen had chosen had already died in this special area. At that time, he only needed to change his identity. This way, he would not have to worry about being exposed to everyone. He could continue to hide behind the scenes.
Other than that, his actions in this area would also be carried out in another identity. This way, even if he performed extremely powerful here, no one would think that he was the Martial Demon Realm expert chosen by Xiang Zizhen.
Then no one would doubt his “death”. Moreover, even if someone really noticed him, his identity with Xiang Zizhen was also fake. So in terms of identity concealment and disguise, Xiao Shi was not worried.
If not for the fact that the taboo on him could not be eradicated, he would even disguise himself as someone from the three major domains. This would be more beneficial to his actions here. No matter what, he would always hide behind the scenes and would definitely not easily appear in the line of sight of those experts and attract their attention.
As Xiao Shi spoke, Zhou Hong from the evil ghost lineage and the old man named Guan Zhihong were both shocked.
“He’s a Martial Demon Realm cultivator from the three great domains. The moment 1 met him, I had already killed him.” Xiao Shi’s voice was indifferent. “Since you’ve already passed the second round, it’s necessary for me to tell you the problems you’ll face next before entering the next round..”
