It was mainly because with Cheng Tianhao’s current status, he already had the right to let his hand guard carry out missions for him.

Under Cheng Tianhao’s arrangements, Xiao Shi finally had a chance to leave Five Shadows City.

“The waters in Tiandou Province are very deep now. Master, be careful.” Cheng Tianhao was still worried about Xiao Shi’s departure. Despite the fact that he had witnessed his master’s strength time and time again, and knew that this master was very powerful and extraordinary, even the geniuses in his eyes in the past paled in comparison to Xiao Shi. But he was still filled with worry.

After all, the current waters in Tiandou Province were too deep. Even though Xiao Shi was extraordinary, in terms of strength and cultivation, he was still only at the Blood Martial Realm.

However, Xiao Shi was full of fighting spirit for this departure. His heart was filled with intense anticipation. Even though Tiandou Province was filled with experts and danger was everywhere, this was also a rare opportunity for him!

Usually, there were not so many Blood Martial Realm martial artists in the Tiandou Province.

Such an opportunity was extremely rare.

At the same time, Xiao Shi was filled with anticipation for the items that would drop after killing a Blood Martial Realm martial artist.

That day, he left Five Shadows City and set off alone. He already had a clear plan in mind. He prepared to head to Bixin City first to take a look at the current situation of the Red Tiger Sect. Then, he would find an opportunity to go to the Extreme Fire Sect and ask Liang Su if there was any way to obtain more Flames of Truth.

It was a long journey from Five Shadows City to Bixin City.

Back then, when Xiao Shi came, because he was riding a flying ship of a higher standard, he did not spend too much time.

If he were to walk there now, it would take at least ten days to half a month. Even though he had the Martial Emperor’s Pauldon to fly, it was difficult to maintain it for long.

Xiao Shi was not in a hurry. Through the map in his hand, after planning the route to Bixin City, he set off for Bixin City according to the planned route.

Now, he has changed his appearance again. It turned into a burly square-faced man. This time, he did not plan to act as Nie Jie. Therefore, he changed his identity again.

That night, he rushed to Zhongjiu City, which was not far from Five Shadows City. There were many cities in Tiandou Province, and they were not as rare as the Seven Star Province.

Zhongjiu City, like Bixin City, was a subsidiary force of the Swift Shadow Palace to a certain extent.

Usually, once a person from the Swift Shadow Palace came to Zhongjiu City, even if he was just an ordinary disciple of the Swift Shadow Palace, he would have great power and status in Zhongjiu City.

As for a True Blood Martial Realm expert like Xiao Shi, he would be treated as a distinguished guest by the City Lord of Zhongjiu City and not dare to be negligent at all.

But that was for the previous Zhongjiu City.

With all the experts of the Xingluo Territory gathered in Tiandou Province, Zhongjiu City was already occupied by an expert as a temporary stronghold. They became the ruler of Zhongjiu City.

The Swift Shadow Palace could do nothing about this.

Zhongjiu City was not the only one. The other cities that were affiliated to them had basically been occupied by these experts when they arrived. They had become their stronghold here.

Currently, the expert occupying Zhongjiu City was a Martial Soul Realm expert. Other than that, in Zhongjiu City, there were also some Blood Martial Realm martial artists from outside. However, in Xiao Shi’s plan, he did not plan to hunt for the Blood Martial Realm in Zhongjiu City.

On the one hand, Zhongjiu City was currently controlled by that foreign Martial Soul Realm expert. If he attacked here, he would definitely not be able to hide from that Martial Soul Realm expert. As long as he attacked, the other party would definitely immediately notice. On the other hand, Xiao Shi did not know much about the Blood Martial Realm martial artists here.

Even if they were both in the Blood Martial Realm, there would be a huge difference in strength. If he encountered a second or even third-blood realm existence, he definitely had no chance of winning. Moreover, even among the first blood realm, there were also existences that he could not match.

In the end, he had only just broken through to the Blood Martial Realm. He could not do whatever he wanted in the Blood Martial Realm and kill anyone.

However, when Xiao Shi arrived at Zhongjiu City, he heard a piece of news. Currently, the Martial Soul Realm expert who occupied Zhongjiu City was not in Zhongjiu City. This immediately made Xiao Shi’s heart skip a beat.

If that Martial Soul Realm expert was in Zhongjiu City, he would not be able to make a move here no matter what.

But now that the Martial Soul Realm expert was not around, this gave Xiao Shi an opportunity. However, he also knew that he could not act rashly. Even if he wanted to hunt the Blood Martial Realm here, he had to first investigate and understand the information of these Blood Martial Realms.

He had to ensure that he had enough strength to kill it.

That day, Xiao Shi began to investigate in Zhongjiu City.

Now, his identity was that of a Blood Martial realm itinerant cultivator in the Tiandou Province. Although there were not many itinerant cultivators in the Tiandou Province who could cultivate to the Blood Martial Realm, there were still some. In the past, itinerant cultivators like him might have attracted some attention.

However, now that many experts in the entire Xingluo Territory had come to Tiandou Province, itinerant cultivators like this were insignificant.

Therefore, Xiao Shi was not noticed. He could also better obtain information through his own strength and cultivation.

Xiao Shi also knew that if his strength was not enough, not only would it not reduce his trouble, but it would also cause more trouble. After all, in this world where the strong preyed on the weak, there would only be endless trouble without sufficient strength.

At the same time, the stronger one was, the easier it would be to obtain the information he wanted.

Therefore, after some investigation, Xiao Shi successfully learned that there were a total of 16 Blood Martial Realm martial artists in the entire Zhongjiu City. Among them, fourteen Blood Martial Realm martial artists came with that Martial Soul Realm expert.

They were the subordinates of that Martial Soul Realm expert. The other two Blood Martial Realm martial artists were originally from Zhongjiu City. No one was unfamiliar with the two Blood Martial Realm martial artists who were originally from Zhongjiu City. It was very easy to find out about them.

Both of them had already reached the second-blood realm!

Xiao Shi knew very well that the Blood Martial Realm of this realm was clearly not something he could deal with. He could only choose the remaining fourteen Blood Martial Realm martial artists. However, because these fourteen Blood Martial Realm martial artists were all outsiders, no one knew their exact strength and cultivation.

Even the first and second blood realms had different aura fluctuations.

However, these Blood Martial Realm martial artists would not release their aura for no reason. This also caused those who were not familiar with them to be unable to know their exact strength and cultivation.

He only knew that they were Blood Martial Realms.

This made Xiao Shi feel troubled.

“Looks like I have to personally investigate their strength.” As he thought about it, Xiao Shi began to approach these Blood Martial Realm martial artists calmly.

With the Martial Emperor’s Mask covering his aura, he was often like an ordinary passerby. He passed by these Blood Martial Realm martial artists without attracting their attention.

The moment he passed, Xiao Shi used the Red Tiger totem on his body to sense these Blood Martial Realm martial artists. Soon, he received feedback from the Red Tiger Totem. With the level of the Red Tiger Totem, it was not difficult to sense the strength and cultivation of these Blood Martial Realm martial artists.

Especially now that the Red Tiger Totem had been enhanced by the Flame of Truth. In terms of perception, it has also improved greatly. He easily sensed the strength of these Blood Martial Realm martial artists.

“Hmm? Another second blood realm!” Xiao Shi frowned. He did not expect that the Blood Martial Realm martial artist he was investigating was also a second-blood realm martial artist. He could only shake his head and give up. He continued to investigate the other Blood Martial Realms.

Finally, after a series of investigations, he finally found a First Blood Realm among these Blood Martial Realm experts!
