Chen Yuan sighed. Fragments had already begun to fall off his cracked face. “I want to ask you for a favor.” He stared at Xiao Shi seriously. “1 hope that you can take the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect away from the Great Wu Empire. Don’t let the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect continue to be a puppet of the Great Wu Empire.

“Although the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect was born for the Great Wu Empire and the meaning of its existence is to protect the Great Wu Empire, it has the right to choose to leave this rotten empire.”

As Chen Yuan said, he held out his hand. It pierced into his chest that was filled with cracks, tore open his chest, and grabbed out a constantly beating dark red heart.

The moment he saw the heart, Xiao Shi felt a huge red tiger’s roar echo in his ears. He saw a roaring illusory red tiger head on the dark red heart. Apart from the Red Tiger’s head, there were three different aura fluctuations on his heart.

With Xiao Shi’s familiarity with the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect, he could tell at a glance that these three different aura fluctuations corresponded to the three lineages of the Mountain God, Dream Witch, and Evil Ghost.

After Chen Yuan took out the heart, he handed it to Xiao Shi. The reason why he chose Xiao Shi was not just because of the powerful strength Xiao Shi had displayed. More importantly, it was a trait that ordinary people did not have in Xiao Shi. It was also a trait that their Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect needed the most.

That was… Resistance!

This could be seen from the time when Xiang Zizhen was treated unfairly by the prince. Xiao Shi had helped Xiang Zizhen forcefully refine the Nandou Domain and let Xiang Zizhen step into the Sage Realm. It could be seen that he would definitely resist when facing injustice.

No matter who the other party was!

And this unyielding resistance was what the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect needed. It was also what Chen Yuan had always lacked. He did not want the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect to continue being bound to this rotten dynasty.

If he wanted to leave the Great Wu Empire, he had to resist!

Xiao Shi was silent. With this heart, he would have the control of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect. He could become the new sect master of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect. He would take over the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect.

Although Xiao Shi had already left the Great Wu Empire, no matter what, he was still a member of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect. Furthermore, he did not have any ill feelings towards the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect.

Facing Chen Yuan’s entrustment, Xiao Shi thought for a moment. He did not refuse and took the heart from Chen Yuan’s hand. The moment he held the heart, he suddenly felt the black coffin in his body fluctuate.

He sensed a heartbeat from the black coffin. It was actually the same rhythm and frequency as the heart in his hand. This immediately reminded him of the petrified heart that he had unsealed in the Mysterious Blood Ball back then. That was how the existence in the black coffin woke up from its deep sleep.

He also knew that the huge petrified face that had appeared in the sky previously had most likely locked onto the black coffin when the existence in the black coffin obtained the petrified heart.

Now, this heart that represented the authority of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect actually resonated with the existence in the black coffin. This could not help but remind Xiao Shi that the existence in the black coffin had once said that if it wanted to completely revive, it had to start from the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect.

All of this clearly indicated that the existence in the black coffin was related to the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect.

In fact, not long ago, Xiao Shi had thought of learning more about the secrets of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect through Xiang Zizhen. He would use this to find a way to revive the existence in the black coffin from the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect.

Although he could already be considered to have officially joined the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect and become a part of it after he had come to the Imperial Domain, he had always been an inconspicuous disciple in the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect.

He could not come into contact with the core secrets of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect. He could only investigate through Xiang Zizhen.

However, before he could tell Xiang Zizhen, because of the appearance of the special area, he did not have the chance to get Xiang Zizhen to help investigate the core secrets of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect.

But now, he had this heart.

Xiao Shi believed that he could find the answer from it. When Chen Yuan gave this heart to Xiao Shi, his body, which was already covered in cracks, could no longer hold on. The spatial layer in his eyes converged, and the power lingering on the surface of his body dissipated. His body disintegrated inch by inch and dissipated.

His body and soul were destroyed!

The Eye of the Emperor Judgment floated into Xiao Shi’s hand. Be it Xiao Shi’s current identity as the leader of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect or his kindness in helping it remove the seal, it would definitely choose Xiao Shi. Apart from Xiao Shi, it could be said that no one else was qualified to wield the Eye of the Emperor Judgment.

Xiao Shi looked at Chen Yuan, who had died in front of him. Until the last moment, he did not sense any fear of death from Chen Yuan’s gaze. He only saw gratification and relief. There were also expectations for him.

Xiao Shi sighed. Before that, he did not have a good impression of Chen Yuan. He felt that the other party was too foolishly loyal. It was only then that he realized that Chen Yuan had no choice.

Although Xiao Shi and Chen Yuan did not have much contact and did not have a deep friendship, before the other party died, his method of removing the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect from the Great Wu Empire could not help but make Xiao Shi admire this old man who had been restricted by his duty for his entire life.

After all, with Chen Yuan’s position and situation, not everyone was like him, who would use his last life to resist. No matter what, Chen Yuan’s willingness to entrust the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect to him represented his trust in him.

Xiao Shi bowed deeply in the direction where Chen Yuan had dissipated with a solemn expression. He sent the heart in his hand into the storage space of the Ancient Cang’e Tree and handed it to the main body.

Right now, what he was in the Imperial Domain was a clone formed by the Martial Emperor’s Cape. Naturally, he could not fuse with this heart. He needed to send it to the main body to be integrated by the main body.

Other than that, before fusing with this heart, Xiao Shi still needed to use his own methods to remove the Sect Master of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect to be completely loyal to the Great Wu Empire.

This was also an important reason why Chen Yuan did not directly fuse this heart into Xiao Shi’s body. Instead, he chose to take it out and make it ownerless before handing it to Xiao Shi.

If he directly fused this heart into Xiao Shi’s body and handed it to Xiao Shi through inheritance, Xiao Shi would definitely immediately be loyal to the Great Wu Empire after becoming the Sect Master of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect.

He had to resolve this binding.

It was definitely difficult for ordinary people to do it. However, it was not difficult for Xiao Shi to do this. Because he had the Emperor’s Armor in his hand. Through the Martial Emperor’s aura, he completely erased the absolute loyalty contained in this heart to the Great Wu Empire.

In fact, in order to be more stable, after Xiao Shi erased it with the aura of a Martial Emperor, he used the suppression of the Star Era and combined it with the seal of his demon sealing technique to stabilize it heavily. After ensuring that this loyalty was completely eliminated, he tried to fuse this heart into his body.

As Xiao Shi brought the heart in his hand to his chest, this dark red heart instantly melted into a sticky black substance that wrapped around the tender red beating heart in his body, dyeing his heart pitch-black.

Boom!

Xiao Shi’s brain trembled violently. Information and abilities related to the Mountain God, Dream Witch, and Evil Ghost lineages surged crazily into his brain. It allowed him to instantly master all the abilities of the three lineages.

Coupled with the Red Tiger ability he already had, he had already controlled all the power of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect.

However, Xiao Shi realized that even though he had already grasped all the power of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect, the surface of his heart was still wrapped in a layer of pitch-black matter. Some matter flowed quickly and drilled into his heart.

These pitch-black substances were still very active and showed no signs of stabilization. This meant that the fusion had just begun..
