A Helping Hand

"How about we see some blood beforehand?" the Slaughter Envoy asked with a smile.

Hu Liena has also taken over a hundred lives, and she is not afraid of killing. But if she were to slaughter dozens or hundreds of people in one go, she would not be able to handle it.

"No need, take me to the Hell Slaughter Arena!"

The Slaughter Envoy continued, "I must remind you that once the Hell Slaughter Arena begins, your Newcomer Protection Period will end. From then on, you must rely on your own strength to survive in the Slaughter City."

Hu Liena scoffed, "I don't need your excessive protection."

The Slaughter King dared not let Hu Liena die in the Hell Slaughter Arena, so he secretly tampered with things. Most of the nine people competing against Hu Liena were undead who couldn't survive in the outer city and wanted to fight to the death.

Therefore, they would first test Hu Liena's strength before making any further plans.

The Slaughter King was very dissatisfied with the Spirit Hall sending two people in one after another, but there was nothing he could do about it.

I just hope these two can reach 100 wins soon, or get defeated and kicked out as soon as possible.

As expected, Hu Liena won the first match and also won the right to reside in the Inner City for a year.

As soon as I stepped out of the Hell Slaughter Arena, I saw that the streets in front of the gates were completely empty.

Just as Hu Liena was wondering what was going on, she suddenly noticed Wu Qi's figure in the distance.

"Junior, I'm here."

For a moment, she seemed to forget how terrifying the other person was, and waved to them in greeting.

Fortunately, Wu Qi had no intention of causing her trouble; otherwise, given her level of vigilance, she would have surely died.

As soon as the two met, Wu Qi said, "Do you know that you've been targeted?"

Women are more likely to be coveted in Slaughter City capital, especially those with Hu Liena's looks.

Both of them were members of the Spirit Hall, and they might even become colleagues in the future, Wu Qi felt it was necessary to give them a reminder.

Hu Liena chuckled softly, "Have you forgotten that I also completed the trials of the Death Grand Canyon?"

"By the way, your aura doesn't match your demeanor. What's going on?"

Wu Qi offered no explanation, but instead called out, "Come with me."

There was no one living within a radius of 100 meters of the house where Wu Qi lived.

The almost tangible killing intent emanating from him chilled the Fallen.

Originally, a dozen or so people were lying in ambush outside the killing field, intending to harm Hu Liena.

Upon Wu Qi's appearance, the group scattered in panic, not daring to make a sound.

Seeing the two of them together, people started whispering among themselves, "What's the relationship between that woman and the Hell King? Why are they together?"

This matter left them completely baffled.

The only possible explanation is that the two knew each other before entering the Slaughter City.

"The woman the Hell King has his eye on... we should probably pass, brothers. Let's not cause any more trouble."

Although this group had Slaughter City, the veteran Fallen were terrified of the Hell King.

Even a "newborn calf" has to fear this fierce tiger.

Wu Qi's residence.

The room was clean and tidy, without even the usual smell of blood, which seemed out of place in the environment of the Slaughter City.

Wu Qi leaned back on the sofa and gestured for Hu Liena to sit down.

"Junior, this place doesn't feel like the Slaughter City. I thought I was still in the outside world."

Wu Qi jokingly said, "I can be considered someone who remains untainted by the mud."

"By the way, have you taken Bloody Mary?"

Before entering the Slaughter City, at Bibi Dong's request, Hu Liena drank two large bowls of food at the Slaughter Tavern.

She knew it was blood, but when she drank it, there was no Bloody Stench as she had imagined; instead, it tasted sweet.

More importantly, Bloody Mary contains trace amounts of Soul Power; by consuming more of it, Soul Power Level will naturally break through.

Wu Qi said solemnly, "This is a sugar-coated bullet, specifically designed to harm the Fallen here."

"If you continue taking it, you will definitely become addicted, and then you will be assimilated and stay here forever."

"What!" Hu Liena exclaimed in shock, instinctively taking a step back.

Bloody Mary contains trace amounts of toxins, which, if accumulated over a long period, can affect the mind of Soul Master, causing them to become extremely bloodthirsty.

Perhaps this is also part of the test for the Slaughter City.

While Bloody Mary can certainly enhance one's strength, the Soul Master must also bear greater risks in return.

Although Hu Liena is Spirit-Type Spirit Master with a certain level of Spiritual Resistance, she couldn't withstand the relentless force of time!

Upon learning of the dangers of Bloody Mary, Hu Liena unconsciously swallowed.

Just now, the Hell Slaughter Arena competition ended, and she downed several drinks in a row.

Wu Qi calmly said, "It's time to cut your losses. You have spiritual cultivation; a small amount of toxins won't affect you."

"Now that you've won in the Hell Slaughter Arena, choose a room next to mine to stay in. While I'm here, these people won't dare to lay a hand on you. But I've achieved a sixty-six-win streak, and one day I'll have to leave."

"If you cannot adapt to this environment in time, then your death will be imminent."

In the Original Space-Time, Hu Liena would have entered this place about a year later.

But things are different now. The three members of the Golden Generation obtained the Soul Bone from Tang Hao and made rapid progress in their training in the Lost Grand Canyon, completing the task in less than half a year.

Because of Wu Qi's influence, Bibi Dong did not give Hu Liena a chance to rest, and instead proposed the training in the Slaughter City.

If Tang San enters the Slaughter City according to the Original Space-Time, Hu Liena's winning streak will definitely exceed fifty matches by then.

These two were ultimately unable to brave the Hell Road together.

Judging from the Original Space-Time, Hu Liena was destined to die if she ventured alone into the Hell Road.

Currently, Bibi Dong is becoming increasingly erratic. With Hu Liena around, she might pave the way for the latter and restrain her behavior somewhat.

But without Hu Liena, things are hard to say.

Therefore, in order to ensure a smooth transition of power in the Spirit Hall, Wu Qi planned to "help" Hu Liena.

"From the end of the Spirit Master Competition until I arrived in the Slaughter City, nothing major happened on the continent?"

"If we have to say something, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Imperial Family have erected statues of you in the academy. In this year's enrollment, the Seven Treasures Royal Academy recruited four hundred outstanding new students, which is already comparable to the Spirit Hall Academy."

"Your two friends, Qiangu Changkong and Chen Ping, have completed their trials. When I returned, they had just left to carry out a new mission."

Recently, most of the things have been minor and nothing worth paying attention to.

Although Hu Liena had feelings for Wu Qi, she was not so sure that she would reveal the secrets of the Papal Hall.

Bibi Dong is planning the Soul Hunting Operation, but there are no major moves yet, and the Spirit Hall remains unchanged.

Upon learning this, Wu Qi breathed a slight sigh of relief and also formed his own assessment of the situation on the mainland.

"Oh, right, I forgot to tell you. Recently, the Spirit Hall of Notting City sent back news that they seem to have discovered traces of Yu Xiaogang within their jurisdiction."

"We suspect that Tang San may be hiding in Notting City since he left Spirit City."
