Caught a Three-Eyed Golden-Furred Little Beast!

Xu Xin smiled helplessly.

He was no good person. He gave benefits to his own people, but outsiders were treated as they deserved.

"Sister Erlong, Sister Dong'er, train well here."

"I'll be leaving first."

"If anything comes up, Sister Erlong, you can have the Ninja Soldiers tell me."

Xu Xin looked at the two women as he spoke. He had only come by to check on them anyway; he still had things to do.

Liu Erlong and Bibi Dong did not try to keep him. After chatting a little longer, they left as well.

After leaving the room, Xu Xin did not immediately depart from the City of Slaughter. Instead, he summoned the Ninja Soldiers. "Go see whether you can enter Hell Road."

At Xu Xin's command, the Ninja Soldiers instantly slipped into the darkness.

Not long afterward, a Ninja Soldier returned to report. The meaning was clear, though it was uncertain whether the place was Hell Road.

Xu Xin waved his hand and used the Ghost Shadow Kingdom as a transit point to arrive there.

Looking at the scorching liquid below, whether lava or blood he could not tell, Xu Xin swallowed. This place really was dangerous.

There was only a narrow path around them. If he wanted to leave, this was the only way.

"Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King, Ten-headed Fiery Sun Snake, challenge of inner demons."

Standing on the platform, Xu Xin murmured to himself.

These were the three challenges of Hell Road. Xu Xin had no intention of taking them on. He had no killing intent, so even if he passed Hell Road, he would not obtain the Slaughter God Domain.

Without undergoing the slaughtering baptism of the City of Slaughter and gathering a body full of killing intent, it was impossible to obtain the Slaughter God Domain.

Of course, it would be another matter if the Asura God personally helped condense it for you.

"Roar!!"

A terrifying roar erupted from the scorching liquid below. A three-headed bat flapped its enormous wings and flew toward Xu Xin.

"Holy shit!"

Startled, Xu Xin immediately opened the Heavenly Eye and jumped into the Ghost Shadow Kingdom.

The Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King that had flown over froze in confusion. Where was the person? Why was there no one?

"Roar, roar, roar!!"

After roaring toward the sky for a while, the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King unwillingly burrowed back into the scorching liquid.

Inside the Ghost Shadow Kingdom, Xu Xin sighed speechlessly. He had only taken a look. Was there really any need to get so worked up?

He should leave the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King for Liu Erlong and Bibi Dong. He had merely come to take a look.

It was not that he lacked the ability to kill it. He simply wanted to leave it behind. After all, his target was not this place, but the entire City of Slaughter.

Keeping the thing around would also provide a trial. Why not?

Later on, he would definitely take over the City of Slaughter.

This had been Xu Xin's intention in sending Liu Erlong into the City of Slaughter. Once he controlled it, the people of Shadow Hall would have a decent place to train as well.

It would be safer to let one of his own become the King of Slaughter! And Liu Erlong was perfectly suited for it.

Xu Xin glanced at Tang Hao's future wife, who was still being eroded by darkness, and nodded in satisfaction.

He summoned a Ninja Soldier. "Open a passage to the Star Dou Great Forest."

Star Dou Great Forest, Tang Hao, I'm bringing you your wife.

The Ninja Soldier nodded, then transformed directly into a black gateway the next moment.

It really was convenient.

As long as a Ninja Soldier had been somewhere, the Ghost Shadow Kingdom could be used as a transit point.

Entering the black gateway, Xu Xin arrived in the Star Dou Great Forest in an instant.

"The air outside is still fresher."

Xu Xin took deep breaths of fresh air. Compared to the City of Slaughter, this place was practically heaven. No wonder the people in the City of Slaughter were so crazy.

Anyone would go mad after staying in that environment for too long.

No wonder they needed relatively strong Spiritual Power.

As he wandered through the Star Dou Great Forest, Xu Xin began to hesitate. He was already level 39 and was just short of level 40.

After returning from Heaven Dou City, Xu Xin had gone into seclusion. He had likewise trained within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang, but after reaching Soul Elder, he felt that his improvement had slowed considerably.

Sure enough, the higher the level, the slower the cultivation.

Over roughly nine months, he had only risen five levels. Just five levels. Though he was close to gaining a sixth, close was still close.

Even Xu Xin felt it was slow.

But then he thought about it again. That little bastard had only risen seventeen levels in six years, and he even had an advanced cultivation technique. Looking at it that way, Xu Xin did not seem slow at all.

Still, Xu Xin felt that it was much too slow and had not met his expectations.

"Looks like I'll have to take pills when I get back. Their effect above Soul Elder isn't that great, though."

"But I have plenty of them."

After thinking it over, Xu Xin felt it was feasible. If quality was not enough, quantity would make up for it.

They were all his things anyway. Cultivating while taking pills—when it came to stockpiling medicinal pills, who could compare to him?

According to the Ninja Soldiers' surveillance, Tang Hao and the others were currently in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Otherwise, Xu Xin would not have come here. Since he had already found Tang Hao's wife, naturally he had to deliver her to him.

Suddenly, a Ninja Soldier appeared beside Xu Xin with a cage in its hand. Inside was a toad.

An Abdominal Toad!

Xu Xin took one look at the disgusting toad and immediately knew what it was. Just as A Yin had said, its back was covered in pustules, and it croaked noisily.

Just as Xu Xin was about to reach out and take it, rustling came from the bushes behind him. A pair of bright eyes stared straight at him.

Xu Xin warily looked over and waved to the Ninja Soldier. The Ninja Soldier instantly disappeared with the Abdominal Toad.

From within the bushes, the owner of those bright eyes slowly emerged.

It walked with elegant strides, every step radiating a noble aura.

This soul beast was covered in golden fur, and it also had a pair of eyes on its forehead, making it exceptionally extraordinary.

(PS: There weren't any good-looking pictures of its soul beast form, so I'm directly using its human form here. At least it looks much better than the previous one!)

(The picture is still under review, please wait a bit!!)

With its head lowered, it seemed to be sniffing for something. At times it looked up at Xu Xin, and at times it looked toward where the Ninja Soldier had just vanished.

The soul beast was deeply puzzled, as if it were saying, "Where did that disgusting toad go? What does this person want with that toad? I'm so curious."

And this little beast seemed to have suddenly come over because it had caught the scent of the toad.

Xu Xin stared intently at the golden-furred little beast, his mind constantly turning over what it could be...

It felt familiar, but he could not recall it at the moment.

Seeing no reaction from Xu Xin, the little beast turned and prepared to run away.

Xu Xin froze, then summoned the Ninja Soldiers. "Catch it!"

He definitely knew this little beast. If he could take another look, he would definitely remember.

The Ninja Soldiers were extremely fast. This little beast had only a mere hundred years of cultivation; how could it possibly outrun them?

"Roar!!"

"Release the auspicious beast!!"

A terrifying roar rang out from the forest. An immense Soul Power pressure instantly bore down in Xu Xin's direction.

"Auspicious beast?"

"Holy shit, this thing is the Three-Eyed Golden Lion."

Realizing this, Xu Xin did not hesitate in the slightest. He opened the Heavenly Eye, opened the Ghost Shadow Kingdom, and ran straight inside.

But once he was in the Ghost Shadow Kingdom, he was dumbfounded. The Ninja Soldier was holding that golden-furred little beast in its arms...
