"Grandpa, you don't need to blame yourself too much. All of this started because of me, and since it started because of me, it should also end because of me."
Su Zui's voice was cold, like ice shards in the dead of winter.
Qian Daoliu looked at him and gently comforted him, "This isn't your fault, it's just fate playing tricks on you."
Su Zui gently shook his head, his gaze as firm as a rock.
"Grandpa Qian, there's no need to try to persuade me. Snow Sister fell into demonic possession because of me, and I must bring her back myself. I'm going to the Slaughter City to bring her back personally."
"The Slaughter City too dangerous, and she is currently emotionally unstable; even I dare not approach her easily."
Qian Daoliu frowned. "Your going might not be of any use."
Just because others are useless doesn't mean I'm useless.
Su Zui's tone was calm, but resolute.
"Her Inner Demons arose because of me, and besides, my Heavenly Eye has the power to Heavenly Fate Prediction, allowing me to glimpse fragments within the long river of fate."
"Squeak..."
The doors to the Worship Hall suddenly opened, Bibi Dong walked in, her voice as cold as frost. "Are you sure?"
"I'm sure." Su Zui replied without hesitation, carefully putting away the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid.
"I will take Immortal Orchid with me. No matter where she is, even if there is an abyss in front of me, I will jump in and pull her out."
Ning Rongrong, who had been listening at the door, was terrified. Although she didn't know where the Slaughter City was, judging from their description, it must be an extremely dangerous place.
He just got back from his Xiao Zui, why is he going on another adventure?
Ning Rongrong rushed in. "Su Zui, didn't you promise me you'd never take any more risks? What am I going to do if you go to the Slaughter City?"
"Sorry."
Su Zui looked at Ning Rongrong, his eyes filled with guilt.
Qian Renxue abandoned the light and entered the darkness for him; he absolutely could not let her be trapped alone in hell.
"I'm sorry, it's always 'I'm sorry'..."
Ning Rongrong was trembling with anger, and the moment she turned around, tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
She knew she couldn't persuade Su Zui, especially seeing the resolute look in his eyes. Ning Rongrong knew that no one could change his mind.
"Since you've made up your mind, then go. I'll be waiting for you at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
Ning Rongrong felt a pang of pain in her heart. She didn't know why, but she always felt that she would lose something precious with Su Zui's departure.
Qian Daoliu gazed at the resolute eyes of the young man for Jiujiu, and finally sighed slowly, relenting.
"Fine, since you've made up your mind, there's no reason for me to stop you."
"Thank you, Grandpa Qian."
"But you must promise me one thing." Qian Daoliu looked at Su Zui with a deep gaze and said, word by word, "You must come back alive."
"I will."
Three simple words, yet Qian Jun weight.
Su Zui turned around and stepped out of the main hall without hesitation.
Several days later, in a small town.
As soon as Su Zui entered the town, a bone-chilling cold instantly enveloped his entire body.
The town was dilapidated and cramped, seemingly inconspicuous, but the moment you stepped into it, a sinister and malevolent aura, steeped in endless slaughter, rushed over you, far more oppressive than any dangerous place.
The pedestrians on the street were all covered in scars, with bloodthirsty eyes, devoid of any warmth or humanity.
"Such a strong Baleful Aura!"
Sensing the atmosphere around her, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm couldn't help but sigh softly.
This was Su Zui's first time in such a place filled with Baleful Aura. The thought of Snow Sister sinking alone here made him feel increasingly anxious. His guilt felt like Mount Tai and Mount Changbai pressing down on his shoulders, almost suffocating him.
Beside him Bibi Dong, dressed in a long purple-black robe, her figure cold and aloof. An invisible pressure quietly spread out, instantly suppressing the violent atmosphere of the entire street.
Inside the room in the small town, countless greedy and sinister eyes were fixed on the two, but no one dared to step forward rashly.
Bibi Dong's aura was truly terrifying.
Everyone in this town was a fugitive, but when they faced Bibi Dong, they felt as if they were facing the deepest hell.
Are you scared?
Bibi Dong her head to look at Su Zui and touched his hair.
Su Zui shook her head slightly and said calmly, "I'm not afraid. I'm here only to pick someone up."
"Remember the atmosphere here."
Bibi Dong spoke, "There are no rules here, no good or evil, no mercy; it's a true cannibalistic hell. If you want to save her, you must first survive here."
As soon as she finished speaking, she stepped forward, leading Su Zui into the deepest part of the town, to a completely black wooden tavern.
The moment I pushed open the door, a murky, rotten, bloody stench hit me.
The entire tavern was dark and oppressive, completely shut out by the light of day, and the deathly silence concealed countless deadly dangers.
The guests inside were all vicious and wicked people; their laughter and conversation were filled with villains, and no honest people frequented the place.
The two men's intrusion instantly drew everyone's attention, and in a flash, countless sinister gazes swept over them.
These gazes were filled with greed and murderous intent, yet they dared not act rashly due to Bibi Dong's imposing presence.
The two sat down in a corner, and a waiter in black, with an expressionless face, slowly approached. "What would you like to order?"
Bibi Dong's voice was icy cold, devoid of any emotion. "Two Bloody Mary."
The waiter raised an eyebrow, looking at the impeccably dressed Su Zui with a hint of skepticism. "A newcomer drinks too? Are you sure?"
Only one in ten newcomers survives here; most are too frightened to continue after hearing about Bloody Mary's origins.
Bibi Dong's eyes turned slightly cold as she glanced at him indifferently. The waiter immediately fell silent, not daring to say another word, and turned to prepare the wine.
A moment later, two glasses of dark red, turbid liquid were brought to the table. The strong, pungent smell of blood assaulted the nostrils; it was fishy, sticky, and made people feel nauseous. It was made from pure human blood.
"My God! This stuff is made from human blood!"
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm exclaimed in surprise.
"This Slaughter City truly depraved! Not only do they drink human blood, but the blood is also poisonous. After drinking it, it gradually erodes your mind, eventually turning you into a complete killing machine!"
"Xiao Zui, you absolutely mustn't drink! Once you get involved, your mind and spirit will be infected!"
Su Zui's gaze fell on the wine glass, without any intention of touching it. He turned to look at Bibi Dong and asked in a deep voice.
"Is drinking Bloody Mary a rule for entering the city?"
Bibi Dong slowly nodded. "Yes."
Who made the rules?
"King of Slaughter."
"What level of power does this King of Slaughter possess? Is God?"
"No."
Bibi Dong thought for a moment, "He can't beat me."
"Then there's no need."
Su Zui spoke calmly.
"I've come here today solely to find and rescue someone; I never intended to abide by his rules. What King of Slaughter? To hell with him!"
"That's awesome! I love it!" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's spirits instantly lifted.
"That's utter bullshit! Why should we be bound by his rules? What is this King of Slaughter anyway? Xiao Zui, now that your body has been reshaped by the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings, plus my Spiritual Power, the two of us can totally go on a rampage and slaughter Slaughter City!"
"Presumptuous!"
The waiter's expression changed drastically, and he shouted angrily, "How dare you blaspheme the King of Slaughter! Without drinking Bloody Mary, you are never worthy to set foot in the Slaughter City!"
