In the Flame Bearer Division.
The patriarch of the Crafty Formation sat quietly in front of the hall with an expressionless face. Ever since Xiao Shi entered the Yin Flame Valley, he had been waiting here without taking half-steps. He knew that there was only one entrance to the Yin Flame Valley. He was not afraid that Xiao Shi would escape from other places. As long as he stayed here, he would definitely be able to find the other party.
Although he looked very calm, he was already starting to panic. Because once the City Lord returned, things might change. What he was most worried about was that after the City Lord returned, he would protect him because he admired Xiao Shi.
With the City Lord’s strength and the array formation authority in Blazing Yin City, he was far from being able to resist it. Once the City Lord protected Xiao Shi, no one in Blazing Yin City could kill him.
The City Lord’s whereabouts had always been elusive. Even as the butler, Lord Mo did not know when he would return. The longer it dragged on, the more anxious and uneasy the Patriarch of the Crafty Formation was.
Swoosh!
A black-robed Lord Mo appeared behind the patriarch. His expression was as indifferent as ever. Although the Patriarch did not turn around, he had already sensed the other party’s arrival.
“He shouldn’t know that the City Lord isn’t in Blazing Yin City, right?” The patriarch asked in a low voice. He suspected that Xiao Shi knew in advance that as long as he delayed until the City Lord returned, he would have a chance of survival, so he stayed inside and did not come out.
Lord Mo shook his head. “I’m the only one who knows.” As he spoke, he glanced at the patriarch. “Actually, you don’t have to be in such a hurry. The City Lord’s departure this time is different from before. I suspect… that the City Lord might have encountered some trouble. I don’t think he’ll be back so soon.”
The patriarch did not relax because of Lord Mo’s words. He was still frowning. “Should? This is just your speculation. I don’t want any variables in this matter.
I want him dead! As the City Lord’s butler, don’t you have any way to let me enter the Yin Flame Valley?”
Lord Mo’s expression was normal. “This hall is a part of the array formation below. You know this better than me. Not to mention me, even the City Lord can’t let you in unless you’re the Flame Bearer. But it’s a pity that you left the Flame Bearer Division back then. It’s impossible for you to become the Flame Bearer now. But, since you’re in such a hurry, I have an idea.”
When the patriarch heard that, he immediately turned to look at Lord Mo. Lord Mo said indifferently. “All Flame Bearers have two chances to enter the Yin Flame Valley. Some of these Flame Bearers can even enter once more.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the patriarch’s eyes lit up. He understood what the other party meant.
As long as he let these Flame Bearers who could still enter the Yin Flame Valley go in and capture Xiao Shi, he would not have to be afraid that the other party would hide inside and stall for time.
In the valley.
Xiao Shi let out a long breath. He opened his eyes. After ten days of cultivation, he had already successfully researched the theory that was not implemented in the Gray Blood Sword Technique. It also fused with the sword technique in the Enlightenment Bead.
Now, when he executed this sword technique, he could directly enter a powerful sword form through the martial blood in his body. He called this form the Grey Sword Form. In this form, he could only use sword techniques.
Methods like the Blood Tattoo Finger could not be used. However, after entering this form, his sword technique would reach an extremely powerful level. Other than that, Xiao Shi had already completed the changes and adjustments to the forbidden array.
He could already use this powerful array formation. It formed a transformation similar to that of Ke Zhuozheng.
Unfortunately, the gray sword form and array formation transformation could not be carried out at the same time. But even so, Xiao Shi’s strength had already increased greatly.
“Next, it’s time to decipher the array formation here through the Heavenly Support Array Formation.” Xiao Shi thought. He took out the Heavenly Support Array Formation.
This array formation that existed in the valley was even more profound and high-end than the Yin Flame Array in Blazing Yin City. After all, this array formation had to seal and suppress the Yin flames while constantly absorbing its power.
Without the Heavenly Support Array Formation, even with Xiao Shi’s current talent in array formations, it would be difficult for him to understand this array formation.
The level of this array formation was really too high. Now that he had the help of the Heavenly Support Array Formation, this complicated and profound array formation seemed to have been split in his eyes.
It was directly split into countless small array formations. However, even these small array formations were still profound in Xiao Shi’s eyes, making him unable to understand them. Fortunately, the Heavenly Support Array Formation could continue to be split.
After many splittings, Xiao Shi finally understood. This also allowed him to have a clearer understanding of the profoundness of this array formation.
In addition, there were only two Intrinsic Martial Bloods left in terms of cracking the blood ball. As long as the last two Intrinsic Martial Bloods fell off, Xiao Shi could obtain the secret in the blood ball.
Before this, he had thought that he would be able to crack the last layer of the blood ball
As long as a few pieces of the intrinsic martial blood fell from the last layer, even if they did not all fall, as long as there was a gap, he would be able to know what was inside in advance through this gap.
Even though more than half of the last layer of the martial blood had fallen off, he still did not know what was inside. It was as if there was a ball invisible to the naked eye in the layer of Intrinsic Martial Blood. The Intrinsic Martial Blood was all stuck to the ball.
Only when all the Intrinsic Martial Blood fell off would the invisible ball appear in front of him.
“Soon!” Xiao Shi took a deep breath. His eyes were filled with anticipation.
Flame Bearer Division.
Under the summoning of the patriarch, he had successfully gathered three Flame Bearers who could enter the Yin Flame Valley. Hong Liu was among them.
The patriarch looked at the three of them and said in a low voice. “Your mission this time is to capture him from the Yin Flame Valley. Even if you can’t capture him, you have to force him to leave the Yin Flame Valley.”
Before that, he had already given these three Flame Bearers many benefits. After all, to these Flame Bearers, every opportunity to enter the Yin Flame Valley was very precious. If there were not enough benefits, they naturally could not waste this opportunity for no reason.
“If we accidentally kill him…” The tall, black-bearded man, Xiong Wu, asked in a low voice.
“Try to keep him alive.” The Patriarch of the Crafty Formation said coldly. He wanted to kill Xiao Shi personally. “If you can capture him or let him escape on his own, I will give you additional benefits after the matter is done. But if there’s really no other way, you can kill him, but 1 won’t give you any more benefits.”
The words of the Patriarch of the Crafty Formation immediately lit up the eyes of the three Flame Bearers. Especially Hong Liu. Originally, he had cooperated with Yu Shuang of the Crafty Formation Clan to obtain the augmentation of the array formation through the Crafty Formation Clan. Now, if he could obtain the enhancement of the array formation from the patriarch, it would definitely be more enhanced than Yu Shuang’s!
“We have to catch him alive!” The three Flame Bearers had a firm thought at the same time.
They were not worried about Xiao Shi’s combat strength. All three of them were in the third blood realm! Among them, Xiong Wu had a powerful combat strength that was not inferior to Ke Zhuozheng. Now, with the help of the Patriarch of the Crafty Formation, he had improved quite a bit. If the three of them attacked together, they would definitely be able to take Xiao Shi down.
Immediately, the three of them moved and rushed towards the hall in front of them. They stepped into it and disappeared.
“Unfortunately, those Martial Soul Realm Flame Bearers don’t even have the chance to enter the Yin Flame Valley. Otherwise, it would definitely be easier to get those few Martial Soul Realm Flame Bearers to attack.”
The patriarch felt a little regretful about that. However, even if those Martial Soul Realm experts did not attack, he believed that these three Flame Bearers were enough..
