After Ye Wuyou became a Title Douluo, he planned to complete the first step of his Death God Divine Trial by hunting the criminals on the Red Wanted Order. Gu Chen gave him a device that could locate fugitives, but eleven targets were in Slaughter City, creating a problem Ye Wuyou would need help to solve.
