Return to Slaughter City, Evil Soul Masters
Dugu Yan was also a decisive person. After spending half a month with Oscar, she went to the Slaughter City alone.
Oscar had originally planned to go with her, but Dugu Yan felt that if Oscar were there, she would definitely avoid too much hardship.
To become a true strong person, one must undergo genuine trials, rather than undergoing so-called training under the protection of others.
Oscar was worried about Dugu Yan's safety; others might not know it, but Oscar did.
The Slaughter City not only has the Peerless Douluo King of Slaughter, but also a Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat Emperor with a cultivation level of at least 100,000 years. In fact, the King of Slaughter's mind has been corrupted by the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat Emperor.
For them, a prodigy like Dugu Yan was the best medicine.
But Dugu Yan is right about one thing: if she wants to truly grow, these dangers are things she must experience.
Therefore, Oscar gave a portion of all his Sausage Soul Skill to Dugu Yan, just in case.
Oscar even used his own blood to make several Copy Sausage, ensuring almost everything except that Dugu Yan went alone.
Dugu Yan's journey to the Slaughter City was not long at all. With the help of the Swift as Wind Rain Swallow Sausage, she arrived in the Slaughter City in just one day.
After all the Soul Ring of the Oscar Supreme Sausage Martial Soul reached the Hundred Thousand Year Level, the abilities of each Sausage also increased several times over.
Just one Swift as Wind Rain Swallow Sausage is enough to give the user extreme speed, and the time has also increased from the original fifteen minutes to fifteen hours.
A single Swift as Wind Rain Swallow Sausage, was enough to get Dugu Yan to the Slaughter City.
Upon arriving at the Slaughter City, Dugu Yan went directly into the inner city. Because of the ancient nature of the Divine Slaughter's Domain, her Soul Ring were not sealed. When she entered, the terrifying aura emanating from the eight Soul Rings on her body—two yellow, one purple, three black, and two red—instantly attracted the attention of the Enforcement Team of the Slaughter City.
Above the inner city, beneath the Purple Moon, Dugu Yan's eight Soul Ring shone brightly, and the Jade Green Dragon Phantom appeared and disappeared behind her. Terrifying dragon might and intense killing intent burst forth, and the Divine Slaughter's Domain instantly unfolded. Countless fallen ones fled and hid like rats in a gutter encountering their natural enemy, fearing that they would be implicated.
Three tall figures, their bodies Entanglement black aura, stood facing each other in the void opposite Dugu Yan. Each of them had nine Soul Rings: three purple, five black, and one red.
When Dugu Yan saw that the three of them had passed the test, she couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. Apart from herself and Oscar, this was the first time she had seen Soul Master with such a terrifying Spirit Ring Configuration.
Moreover, the aura of these three people was extremely strange; they didn't seem like real people at all, but rather... rather, they were evil spirits that had walked out of hell.
Thinking that this was the place where the Asura God's legacy was passed down, Dugu Yan slowly exhaled. Gods were omnipotent deities in this world.
As the managers of the land of inheritance, it is somewhat understandable that these three Titled Douluo are different from ordinary people.
These three Titled Douluo were each wearing a Demon Tiger Mask, Blood Bat Mask, and Scorpion Mask.
Behind them were the three animal Martial Soul manifested on the masks, their black evil aura mixed with the bloody aura, staring solemnly at Dugu Yan.
These three are the strongest beings in the Slaughter City besides the King of Slaughter, and they are also responsible for the security of the Slaughter City. They are considered the highest-ranking administrators besides the King of Slaughter.
The man in the Demon Tiger mask uttered a hoarse voice. "Honorable God of Slaughter, although you have the right to freely enter and Slaughter City, this is not a reason for you to run wild here."
As soon as he finished speaking, the nine terrifying Soul Ring on his body shone eerily, and an incomparably terrifying aura and evil presence swept over us.
Dugu Yan's Divine Slaughter's Domain blocked these auras, and she smiled and said, "I'm not here to cause trouble, I'm here to cause trouble."
Upon hearing Dugu Yan's words, Black Tiger, Blood Bat, and Scorpion were all slightly taken aback. Why invite trouble? The Jade Green Dragon Phantom behind Dugu Yan slowly disappeared, the eight terrifying Soul Ring on her body vanished, and her murderous aura gradually subsided.
The Divine Slaughter's Domain mark between her brows glowed slightly, and the Divine Slaughter's Domain, which encompassed most of the inner city, slowly contracted to a range of ten meters around her.
Dugu Yan simply said casually, "From today onwards, I will take over the Hell Slaughter Arena."
Black Tiger and his two companions exchanged glances. "You're going to join the Slaughter City?"
Dugu Yan glanced into the depths of the Slaughter City, and after a long while, she slowly said, "That's not quite right. I came here on the orders of those above. If you have any questions, just go find the King of Slaughter."
After saying that, Dugu Yan turned and headed towards the Hell Slaughter Arena.
The three men, including Black Tiger, exchanged bewildered glances. Who was above them? Besides the king they currently respected, who else was above them?
Watching Dugu Yan's leisurely strolling figure, the three hesitated for a long time before heading deeper into the Slaughter City.
In the dimly lit room, a huge black and red Skeleton stood, upon which the King of Slaughter lay on his side, the crimson liquid in the crystal goblet in his hand reflecting his sinister face.
The King of Slaughter voice echoed in the dim space, "Heh... Your successor, so many years have passed. I was just one step away from the final step. Why did you endure until the very end, only to be the one who benefits someone else?"
"It's either you die or I live, is that it? Since that's the case, then I'll grant your wish. One day, I will ascend that staircase and become the true King of Slaughter, the true God of Slaughter! A god!"
The King of Slaughter vanished instantly from the dim space and reappeared in a blood-soaked hall, sitting majestically on a Skeleton throne. "Demon Tiger, Blood Bat, Scorpion."
The three people in the main hall knelt respectfully and bowed when they heard the emperor's call, "Present."
The King of Slaughter glanced at the empty Purple Moon in the center of the hall and said slowly, "If she wants to go, let her go. You can do me a favor."
The three men respectfully replied, "We will obey the king's command."
"I require a large amount of Blood Food. I don't care what methods you use, you must collect ten Blood God Pearl within a year, or else..."
Upon hearing about the ten Blood God Pearl, Black Tiger and the other two couldn't help but shrink their pupils slightly.
The Blood God Pearl is the purest Blood Food formed from endless blood. Just one Blood God Pearl is enough to raise their cultivation level by one stage.
To refine a Blood God Pearl, at least one million ordinary people's blood is needed. Even for Soul Master with vigorous blood energy, at least a thousand people are needed to refine one Blood God Pearl...
Ten! What a terrifying number that is!
The three of them almost buried their heads in their chests. Black Tiger said tremblingly, "But... but Your Majesty, we can't get out of the Slaughter City. Where can we prepare so much Blood Food in such a short time?"
The King of Slaughter revealed a strange smile, "We're out now, there are no more restrictions."
Upon hearing this, the three Black Tiger raised their heads in surprise and couldn't help but exchange a glance with the King of Slaughter. How could this be? Ever since they became the King of Slaughter's vassals, after cultivating with that special and evil method, it was as if they had an additional layer of restriction. Once they left the Slaughter City, they would die within three days.
Now "the king" is telling them they can go out?
The King of Slaughter ignored the three men's offense, staring intently into their eyes. A flash of blood red appeared in his eyes, and the Blood Bat mark on the three men's foreheads shone for a moment before disappearing instantly.
The King of Slaughter said no more, casually waved his hand, and his figure slowly disappeared into the hall.
The hoarse voice of the King of Slaughter still echoed in the hall, "Go, by whatever means necessary, you must send back at least one Blood God Pearl every month, otherwise you don't need to come back."
The three glanced at the Purple Moon in the sky, their trembling gradually subsided, and a hint of excitement slowly crept onto their faces beneath their masks.
I thought I would be a puppet in the Slaughter City my life, but I never thought I would be able to leave.
The three of them were once despised by the Spirit Master World. They spent decades in the Slaughter City, facing death countless times, until they were valued by the King of Slaughter, at which point they seemed to be reborn.
But they were already tired of their dark lives over the past few decades, and unfortunately, without the King of Slaughter's orders, they dared not step out of the Slaughter City.
Now, with the king's command, they are finally "free".
It's just ten Blood God Pearl. There are countless humans on the Douluo Continent. Ten Blood God Pearl are nothing to them. Besides, with their current strength, how many people on this continent can rival them? The three of them smiled at each other and instantly transformed into three black streaks of light, rushing out of the dome and heading towards the Purple Moon.
The three figures vanished, and an eerie voice echoed under the Purple Moon: "Your Majesty, wait for our good news! In less than a year, we can gather all ten Blood God Pearl in just six months!"
Dugu Yan had just entered the Hell Slaughter Arena, couldn't help but look up and see that the Purple Moon was still as enchanting as ever.
Withdrawing her gaze, Dugu Yan looked at the countless trembling fallen warriors in the Hell Slaughter Arena, and her cold, emotionless voice rang out. "From this day forward, the Hell Slaughter Arena will be under my control. The competition will proceed as usual, but the rule that contributing a Bloody Mary would allow one to survive for a month needs to be changed. Let's start with half a month..."
Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye, and a lot has happened in this time.
Dai Mubai succeeded to the position of Crown Prince, and was stationed in the Eastern Palace, sitting at the golden table, listening to the government from the sidelines.
Ma Hongjun and others also rose in rank along with Dai Mubai, each taking on a position and assisting him from the side.
Various forces emerged one after another. Blazing Academy and Godwind Academy were renamed Divine Fire Gate and Wind God Valley, respectively. Of course, the academies were still retained, recruiting Soul Master of the same attribute from all over the world.
Sects such as Xuan Ming Sect Star Crown Sect also emerged one after another. Star Crown Sect directly became the Guardian Sect of the Star Luo Empire, while Xuan Ming Sect attached itself to the Heaven Dou Empire and, like Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, maintained good relations with the empire.
On the surface, it appears to be thriving, but in reality, undercurrents are surging and various forces are secretly vying for power.
Spirit City, Pope's Palace.
Qian Daoliu sat solemnly on the golden throne, while a steward hurriedly approached from below.
"Your His Holiness the Pope, the Nuotuo City, Zabiya City, Luoshan City in the Dindar Province under the Victor Kingdom the Heaven Dou Empire were attacked by Soul Grandmaster at the same time. Nearly one million people and Soul Master in the three cities were killed without a trace."
"And everyone died in an extremely gruesome manner, leaving only Skeleton, with no flesh or blood left. The entire city was like a hell on earth. The person who committed this was not only incredibly powerful but also extremely cruel..."
Upon hearing the report from the steward below, Qian Daoliu's pupils constricted slightly. Nearly a million people had been reduced to piles of bones overnight, with not a single survivor...
What a vicious and cruel method this is! And this method is clearly an evil one.
Qian Daoliu suddenly recalled the records in the Angel Sacred Scroll, and after a long while, he slowly uttered a few words: "The Evil Soul Master... have risen from the ashes!"
Qian Daoliu's eyes instantly turned icy cold. Back then, his ancestor Angel God, annihilated all the evil Soul Master on the continent, ultimately bringing endless light and being worshipped by countless people, eventually condensing into a god.
Now that I have just come out of seclusion, I never expected that the Evil Soul Master, who has been missing for ten thousand years, would reappear.
Qian Daoliu waved his hand. "You may leave."
Then, with a cold look in his eyes, he looked toward the Slaughter City: "Since you dare to break the agreement, don't blame me for flattening the Slaughter City."
Qian Daoliu didn't even need to investigate to know where this evil force came from; apart from the Slaughter City, it was impossible for a second one to appear in the entire Douluo Continent.
To be able to slaughter a million people overnight, one must be at least Titled Douluo level being, and such evil methods could only come from there.
Wait... Besides the Slaughter City, there's another person who possesses this ability!
"Dong'er, I hope you won't make a mistake. I don't want to kill you with my own hands..."
Qian Daoliu gently raised his hand, and the figures of Golden Crocodile Douluo, Azure Luan Douluo, and Mighty Lion Douluo instantly appeared.
Qian Daoliu's voice rang out in utter indifference. "Second Brother, announce to the world that the Spirit Hall will issue a nationwide warrant for the arrest of those who have committed countless crimes in Nuotuo City, Zabiya City, and Luoshan City. You three will lead the elders of the Spirit Hall and the Spirit Hall Sanctuary Enforcement Team to carry out this order personally. These evil people must be brought to justice, and none will be spared."
The three Golden Crocodile Douluo bowed and accepted the order, "We will obey your command."
After Golden Crocodile Douluo and the others left, Qian Daoliu transformed into a golden streak of light and disappeared from the main hall, heading straight for the Slaughter City.
In the most luxurious hotel within a magnificent city, three figures clad in black robes revel in a nightly, carefree existence.
The three members of the Demon Tiger had already removed their masks, revealing their sinister faces.
The three people, two men and one woman, all looked to be only in their twenties or thirties. Demon Tiger and Blood Bat were surrounded by beautiful women, while Scorpion had a fair-skinned male concubine beneath him.
For so many years, they haven't enjoyed themselves like this.
After the three displayed their skills last night, they concealed their whereabouts and fled directly to the Star Luo Empire, leaving the Spirit Hall and other forces to investigate. By the time they find any clues, they will probably have already begun their next operation.
They are evil, not stupid. Ten Blood God Pearl represent nearly ten million people. Although this number is insignificant in the Douluo Continent, caution is essential to achieve the final result.
After all, the Spirit Hall had suppressed them for an unknown period of time. Although the three were confident in their own strength, they did not want to face the behemoth that was the Spirit Hall.
The Demon Tiger smiled slightly, "The first Blood God Pearl has been refined. After a few days of leisure, we can begin the next operation."
The Blood Bat's pupils contracted slightly, red light surged, and its vision seemed to return to the three cities they had sacrificed.
In the shadows of the three cities, countless bats fluttered about, squeaking and scattering in all directions after sensing the aura of those powerful figures.
Blood Bat revealed a strange smile, "The Spirit Hall is really quick, and they've mobilized at least three Titled Douluo. We'll have to be more careful in the future."
Scorpion couldn't help but lick his lips. "Titled Douluo... that's the best Blood Food..."
Demon Tiger glared at her. "Forget about your dangerous ideas. If we attract the attention of the Spirit Hall, failing the mission will be a minor issue; we might not even have a chance to survive."
"The angels are too much of a threat to us. What's more, the strongest Angel Douluo in the world is one of the Three Greats. Now that he has regained control of the Spirit Hall, we must keep a low profile!"
Upon hearing this, Scorpion raised an eyebrow but did not refute it.
As soon as they came out, they began to understand the current situation on the mainland. They even carefully selected the three cities for the alchemy. Such a meticulous attitude is enough to prove that they are not just fools who only know how to kill!
