The Sha City commercial district, also the most famous pedestrian street, was now packed with people.
The weather had been good these past two days, with temperatures below thirty degrees Celsius. Coupled with the fact that many students were already on vacation, the crowds here had reached a point where one might brush past over ten people with a single step.
Lin Xiao and the other two arrived at this location immediately.
"A sea of people." This was the only phrase that popped into Qi Tian's mind. He hadn't experienced this much before and didn't have much interest in strolling through the streets in broad daylight. Now that he was here, he witnessed the place with the largest foot traffic in Sha City.
Lin Xiao completely emptied his mind at this moment, allowing himself to sense any fluctuations in the vital energy of life.
Soon, he discovered that a trace of vital energy of life from everyone was seeping into the ground.
"It's underground."
Sensing all of this, the three of them quickly descended into the subway station. Following the direction Lin Xiao sensed, they rushed over.
The deeper they went into the subway station, the greater the depletion of the vital energy of life!
Inside, all the vital energy of life was converging in one direction!
"Not good!"
Lin Xiao suddenly realized that the vital energy of life had stopped its flow and then returned to the bodies of these people.
"We've been discovered."
Lin Xiao gritted his teeth. This time, he hadn't even seen what was absorbing the vital energy of life before it had already escaped.
"It seems these things can communicate with each other."
Qi Tian looked in the direction Lin Xiao was staring.
If that heart could escape right under their noses, it was not impossible for others to have fled earlier.
"Next location!"
Lin Xiao refused to believe he still couldn't catch it!
The heart in Shanghai was completely lost. There was no way to sense anyone consuming spiritual energy or power. He even suspected that the heart might be finding a place to recuperate until a certain time.
"Lin Xiao, don't rush."
Qi Tian pulled Lin Xiao back. "The more anxious you are, the harder it will be to find the right method."
"Mm..."
Lin Xiao nodded quickly, forcing himself to calm down. At this moment, if he also became agitated, they would truly be helpless.
"Let's go to Longhu Mountain first."
At this point, Lin Xiao knew that while their strength might be sufficient, they didn't know the origin of these things or how to deal with them. The only thing they knew was that the Sun Essence Gold could pierce that heart, and he himself could emerge unscathed.
For any further information, only the Old Heavenly Master would know.
Only when Zhuge Lan was about to leave, he looked at the bustling crowd with some reluctance. In the end, he still used the Eight Trigram Formation to protect the area.
At least, if anyone else wanted to absorb the vital energy of life, they wouldn't be able to within the scope of the Eight Trigram Formation.
Unless someone could break his Eight Trigram Formation.
After doing all this, Zhuge Lan breathed a sigh of relief. Then, his mind turned to the region of Shu.
In those heavily trafficked areas in Shu, would it be too late by the time he returned?
"Don't worry."
Qi Tian patted Zhuge Lan on the shoulder. "We still have at least half a year."
"I hope so..."
Half a year later would mark the beginning of the great tribulation.
"Sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood." Lin Xiao took a deep breath, still diligently searching for the location of that thing.
