Under the dark clouds, Xiao Shi’s heart suddenly beat faster. He felt an incomparably dense coldness around him. He was clearly no longer affected by the coldness of this place after wearing the black clothes of Blazing Yin City.

But now, this coldness spread around him even though he was wearing the clothes. He could feel it extremely clearly. However, this coldness did not cause him any harm. There was an invisible membrane outside his body. It blocked all the coldness. It prevented it from seeping into his body.

However, Xiao Shi had a strong feeling. If the coldness had ill intentions towards him, then the membrane outside his body alone would not be able to withstand it.

Xiao Shi’s gaze shifted. He suddenly looked ahead. An old man walked over not far away from him. The old man was dressed in a black robe. Once he walked out expressionlessly, a powerful ripple of cultivation spread out from his body.

His body was cold and emitted an incomparably dense cold aura. Just standing there made Xiao Shi’s scalp tingle, his heart tremble, and his muscles tense. He felt that the person in front of him was extremely dangerous and instinctively wanted to leave.

Although he did not know much about the system of the demonic path forces, he could also determine from the aura fluctuations emitted by the other party that this old man was most likely at the Martial Soul Realm.

Xiao Shi frowned at this. “He’s clearly only at the Martial Soul Realm. Why does he give me such a feeling?”

This was not the first time he had seen the Martial Soul Realm. Previously, he had seen many Martial Soul Realm experts. He had even seen existences above the ATartial Soul Realm. However, even existences above the Martial Soul Realm did not give him this feeling. This surprised Xiao Shi. “Is it because he’s coming for me?”

Xiao Shi had a guess. After all, the Martial Soul Realm cultivators he had seen previously were all hiding in the distance and secretly watching. Those Martial Soul Realm experts did not notice him. Now, this Martial Soul Realm old man was clearly coming for him.

The feeling was naturally different.

However, Xiao Shi thought about it carefully. He felt that even if the other party was coming for him, it would not be able to give him such a dangerous aura. Although he was not a match for these Martial Soul Realm experts, he was confident that he could save his life when facing a Martial Soul Realm expert.

This was also one of the reasons why he dared to come to Blazing Yin City. Even if his identity was exposed, he could also use the Blood Space Stripping Pill to strip himself from reality and escape.

“This person is very different from those at the Martial Soul Realm!” Xiao Shi narrowed his eyes. This difference was not reflected in the fact that the other party was at the Martial Soul Realm of a demonic faction.

He thought carefully. He gradually understood the difference.

“It’s Yin Flame! There’s an extremely shocking Yin flame aura on his body. Therefore, his approach… will cause the cold qi in the surroundings to soar.” Xiao Shi instantly realized the key.

Blazing Yin City was built with the Yin flames in this Flame Land as its foundation. The reason why the Flame Bearers could manage the Blazing Yin City and make the nobles in the city afraid was because the Flame Bearer could use the power of the Yin Flames.

The so-called flame bearer meant controlling Yin flames. The Yin Flame that this old man controlled was even more shocking than those other Flame Bearers. This could not help but make Xiao Shi guess the identity of this old man.

“Could he be… the City Lord of Blazing Yin City?”

The person who had the greatest control over Yin flames in Blazing Yin City was definitely that City Lord.

When the black-robed old man walked five meters in front of Xiao Shi, he stopped. He was thin and had a hooked nose, making his face look very cold. His eyes were pitch-black, but his pupils were scarlet and bloodshot. He stared at Xiao Shi calmly.

And as he approached, the coldness around Xiao Shi had already reached the limit. As a result, the invisible membrane outside his body cracked under the pressure of the cold.

Xiao Shi had a strong premonition. As long as this black-robed old man took another step forward, the membrane outside his body would not be able to withstand it and shatter.

In the end, the black clothes on his body that could not be affected by the coldness of this place were only a part of the array formation. With the Yin Flame controlled by the other party, it was enough to easily break it.

Although this black-robed old man made Xiao Shi feel extremely dangerous, Xiao Shi did not sense any hostility or killing intent from the other party.

The black-robed old man stared at Xiao Shi. He took out a dark black token and threw it over. Xiao Shi did not take it. He allowed the black token to land on the ground in front of him with a crisp sound.

The black-robed old man did not care. After handing over the token, he turned around and left. From the beginning to the end, he did not say a word. It was as if he had only come to give this token.

As the black-robed old man left, the surrounding coldness immediately dissipated. The dark clouds in the sky dissipated. Everything returned to its initial calm. When this scene was seen by the others in Blazing Yin City, everyone had a different feeling in their hearts.

The experts who had thoughts about Xiao Shi sighed. “As expected. It’s impossible for the City Lord to ignore such a good seedling..”
