This was completely different from the previous situation! In the past, as long as Guo Chengdao received his voice transmission, he would definitely reply immediately. But this time, there was no reply at all.

Following that, Xiao Shi sent a voice transmission to the other three Blood Martial Realm Elders of the Red Tiger Sect. But the result was the same. The three Blood Martial Realm Elders did not reply.

“There’s… something wrong!!” Xiao Shi’s expression was solemn. He realized that something unknown must have happened in the current Bixin City. If this happened in other cities, he would definitely choose to take a detour and not get involved.

However, this concerned the Red Tiger Sect, so it was impossible for him to ignore it. At the very least, he had to ensure that Guo Chengdao and the others were safe.

Xiao Shi immediately arrived at an empty corner. His figure instantly disappeared. He escaped into the lunar state. He wanted to infiltrate Bixin City. Although he was not completely invisible in the lunar state and would still be sensed by others, those who could sense him were at least martial artists of the Blood Martial Realm.

Moreover, they could only sense it when Xiao Shi approached. If they were far away, then even these Blood Martial Realm martial artists would find it difficult to sense his whereabouts. As for these guards, they could not sense Xiao Shi’s existence.

This allowed Xiao Shi to easily infiltrate Bixin City. After Xiao Shi entered Bixin City, he immediately felt the difference in the entire Bixin City. He still remembered that the last time he came to Bixin City, the atmosphere in the city was very good. The city was especially lively.

However, the current Bixin City seemed extremely desolate and cold. There were no pedestrians on the streets. Even though Xiao Shi kept shuttling through the streets of Bixin City, he still did not see anyone.

For this reason, he even entered the houses of many residents, but he did not see any of them inside. It was as if everyone in Bixin City had disappeared into thin air!

This made Xiao Shi feel even more uneasy.

Finally, when he passed by this district and arrived at another district, he finally saw a living person in this Bixin City.

Bixin City was divided into many districts. Now, Xiao Shi has arrived at the main city district. However, what he did not expect was that not only were there living people in the main city area, but there were also many people. It was as if the people from the other districts had all gathered in the main district. This caused the main district to be filled with people.

However, the strange thing was, these people who appeared in the main district had wooden expressions and empty eyes, as if they had no souls and were only shells. But they were not completely motionless. They were still walking around the main district.

This scene couldn’t help but make Xiao Shi’s expression even more solemn. Not only were there ordinary people gathered in the main district, but there was also no lack of Martial Entry-Level and Qi Martial Realm martial artists.

However, they all seemed to have lost their souls and kept walking here with wooden expressions.

Xiao Shi was not in a hurry to enter the main district. Instead, he observed quietly outside the main district. Even though he had yet to understand souls, he could tell that there was a problem with their souls from everyone’s state.

Usually, those who could do this were definitely only experts at the Martial Soul Realm or higher.

Other than that, under Xiao Shi’s constant observation, he also vaguely realized that there was an array formation on the ground of the main district.

Back then, because Xiao Shi had dropped too many items through killing in the Martial Entry-Level, he had also dabbled in array formations. Although he could not be considered proficient, he could still tell. He sensed a huge and complicated shocking array formation in the main district through some obscure fluctuations on the ground.

This was only the tip of the iceberg that Xiao Shi had sensed. It confirmed that this array formation was extremely extraordinary. It had already far exceeded the level he could come into contact with at the moment.

Xiao Shi did not dare to step into the main district easily. He could not be sure now whether the reason why these people in the main city area had such a missing soul was because of the array formation in the main city area. If it was because he had stepped into the array formation, his soul would be missing.

Then he would be too stupid to walk in like this.

“In other words, right now, it’s very likely that everyone in Bixin City is in the array formation in the main district. Moreover, they’re all in a soulless state. That’s why they didn’t receive any response to my voice transmission.”

Although he did not see Guo Chengdao and the others, Xiao Shi could also deduce Guo Chengdao’s situation after seeing the current situation in Bixin City.

It was obvious. All of this was done by the experts who occupied this Bixin City. As for its purpose, it was unknown. Although the souls of the people in Bixin City were in a deficient state, their lives were not much of a problem.

This also made Xiao Shi heave a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Guo Chengdao and the others were already dead. However, it was clearly not easy to save them.

Xiao Shi thought that he first had to figure out who occupied this Bixin City and what cultivation and strength they had before thinking of a way to save them.

“Hmm?” Xiao Shi suddenly noticed. In the main district, there were a few martial artists who were clearly different from the others. They seemed to be patrolling here. From their expressions, it was obvious at a glance that they were not in a soulless state like the others. Their bodies emitted extremely powerful aura fluctuations as well.

Even though they were very far away, Xiao Shi could tell at a glance. These people were all Blood Martial Realm martial artists!

“They should be the subordinates of the expert who occupied Bixin City.”

Xiao Shi already knew that the experts that occupied the cities were not alone. They often had some subordinates under them. Just like the Blood Martial Realm experts in Zhongjiu City.

Xiao Shi observed these people carefully. He realized that these people could all walk freely under the array formation in the main district without being affected.

But just based on this, he could not be sure if this array formation was the key to making people lose their souls. After all, it was very likely that there was something on them that could be immune to array formations. It was impossible for Xiao Shi to step into the array formation rashly when he saw that they could walk freely.

However, a thought emerged in his heart.

Buzz!

In an instant, the Intrinsic Martial Blood in Xiao Shi’s body trembled and began to circulate. As it was circulating, many blood forces kept gathering between Xiao Shi’s fingers, finally forming a seal.

Xiao Shi raised his finger and pointed at one of the Blood Martial Realm martial artists in the distance.

Swoosh!

The blood seal between his fingers instantly disappeared. Then, it appeared on the Blood Martial Realm martial artist he pointed at. However, the blood seal was in a hidden state. Apart from Xiao Shi, no one else could see it with the naked eye.

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

Xiao Shi left blood seals on these Blood Martial Realm martial artists one after another.

Now, the range of the Blood Seal has basically increased greatly. This allowed Xiao Shi to condense the blood seal on these Blood Martial Realm martial artists even from a distance. Through the blood seals on their bodies, not only could Xiao Shi grasp all their movements, but he could also hear all their conversations.

Other than that, the Blood Seal still had a powerful ability. That was to absorb the intrinsic martial blood in their bodies and use it to nourish the blood seal.

However, Xiao Shi was prepared to understand the situation through the blood seal this time. Therefore, he did not let the blood seal absorb their intrinsic martial blood, afraid that they would notice it.

As long as he left the blood seal on them, he believed that he would soon understand who the expert who occupied Bixin City was and what cultivation he had through their usual conversations. He would also know what the other party’s ultimate goal was.

Xiao Shi could already hear their conversation through the blood seal now..
