Cannibal Village!

Lin Ziyi smirked at the little fox's confusion and explained:

"Ever since I absorbed the 100,000-year Head Spirit Bone, my spiritual power has become slightly stronger than yours.

"Shiren Village, the Cannibal Village! I felt something was off as soon as we entered the village.

"From the sky, we saw smoke rising from the village, but once inside, we didn't smell any cooking rice. Instead, every house smelled like boiling bones.

"Besides that, the Village Chief's family was overly hospitable to us.

"Logically, a remote village should be somewhat wary of three strangers arriving.

"Furthermore, I noticed when we entered the village.

"The way those people stared at us wasn't like they were admiring handsome men and beautiful women.

"It was more like they were inspecting the pork sold by the butcher, wondering which cut was fatter, leaner, and tastier!

"Of course, the most suspicious thing was when I fought that person named Ma He just now. I found that although his Soul Power was weak, his combat skills were quite impressive!

"His fighting ability wasn't that of an ordinary hunter, but more like a seasoned Soul Master!

"If my Martial Soul hadn't suddenly absorbed his Martial Soul, I might not have had an easy time in the subsequent fight...

"Combining all these strange occurrences, I realized this village was definitely not right!

"Coupled with what you saw just now, it further confirmed my suspicions.

"The inhabitants of this village are likely the legendary cannibals!"

Hearing Lin Ziyi's explanation, Tushan Lingling showed an appreciative expression and leaned her head on the young man's shoulder:

"So Master had already guessed it. Lingling worried for nothing..."

Lin Ziyi gently stroked the little fox's hair and said:

"What does it matter if we didn't know?

"We have a Soul Fighting Douluo and a Super Douluo on our side. Are we afraid of a group of villagers who aren't even Soul Masters?"

"That's true,"

Tushan Lingling said, stretching her small feet towards Bloody Mary, who was standing quietly beside her:

"Give my legs a massage."

Bloody Mary responded respectfully and knelt on one knee before Tushan Lingling.

She removed Tushan Lingling's shoes, placed her small feet on her knees, and began to massage them with even pressure.

Lin Ziyi watched this scene, shook his head helplessly, and then extended one of his own feet...

Meanwhile, in the adjacent courtyard.

In a dark room, a rectangular table was placed.

On the table lay a cooked humanoid creature, and a group of people were gathered around it, devouring it frantically!

On a Grand Tutor's chair by the wall, the Village Chief sat leaning on his cane, watching his descendants eat with a smile.

Just then, the door opened, and Liu Qiang and Liu Jing walked in with grim expressions.

They glanced at the "delicacy" on the table, swallowed hard, and then approached the Village Chief, Liu Zhi.

"Father, those three have settled in the cabin next door," Liu Jing reported respectfully.

Liu Zhi nodded slightly and then looked at his son, Liu Qiang:

"How are things on your end? Did you figure out who that young man is, and what his Soul Power level is?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Qiang recounted the details of the fight between the young man and Ma He to Liu Zhi, word for word.

When he heard that the young man was a disciple of the Clear Sky Sect, Liu Zhi's aged face showed a slight shock:

"A disciple of the Clear Sky Sect? The Clear Sky Sect disciples have come out of seclusion!?

"If this kid wasn't expelled from the sect, it means the Clear Sky Sect might be making a comeback soon!"

Liu Jing's expression turned grim:

"The Clear Sky Sect is the number one sect on the continent! What if we cook and eat their disciple? Will they come looking for us?"

This question was clearly also on Liu Zhi's mind.

However, after a moment of thought, he suddenly let out a cold laugh:

"That kid looks about eighteen or nineteen years old. At this age, being only Level 12, his talent is truly too poor!

"I believe that even though he's a Clear Sky Sect disciple, he's definitely not a core disciple.

"Even if we kill this piece of trash, the Clear Sky Sect probably won't pursue it too much!

"The only thing I'm confused about is, with such a low cultivation for a Soul Master, how could he have two such beautiful women willingly follow him.

"This kid, could he be hiding some trump card? Or perhaps, are those two women high-level Soul Masters?"

Listening to his father's concerns, Liu Qiang snorted coldly:

"I don't care what his level is. Even if he's a Titled Douluo, as long as he eats the medicine we've given him, his Soul Power will be completely lost!"

"Besides, even if our medicine doesn't work, we can still ask that lady for help!

"She recently took in a Level 95 Super Douluo!

"With her intervening, do you think these three people can keep causing trouble?"

Hearing his son mention that "lady," Liu Zhi felt much more at ease.

He pondered for a moment and nodded slightly:

"Alright, let's proceed the old way.

"If we can't handle it, I'll immediately send a signal down the dry well to request that lady's assistance!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Qiang excitedly licked his lips, his previous simple-mindedness completely gone, replaced by a sinister demeanor!

Inside the small cabin.

Lin Ziyi moved his foot away from Bloody Mary's embrace, a look of contentment on his face.

He wondered if Bloody Mary, being a prominent figure in Slaughter City and possibly serving the King of Slaughter, was particularly skilled at this.

After subduing her, Lin Ziyi had already learned a lot about Slaughter City from Bloody Mary.

For instance, the King of Slaughter commanded three Bat Generals, each of whom was a Super Douluo!

Furthermore, the King of Slaughter could remotely sense and control the Three Bat Generals.

Therefore, Bloody Mary's current loss of senses would have definitely been noticed by the King of Slaughter, who might be taking further action!

Perhaps someone had already been dispatched to Barack Royal City.

This was one of the reasons Lin Ziyi chose to leave immediately...

Just as Lin Ziyi was contemplating how to deal with the King of Slaughter's next move, there was a knock on the door.

Lin Ziyi knew someone was delivering food, so he had Bloody Mary open the door.

When the door opened, Liu Jing, with a gentle smile, stood at the entrance holding three dishes, a bowl of rice, and a bottle of wine.

Liu Jing did not enter, merely handing the food to Bloody Mary and greeting Lin Ziyi with a smile:

"Little brother, please enjoy your meal. If the food isn't enough, I'll bring more later."

Lin Ziyi stood up, thanked her, and watched as Liu Jing returned to the courtyard.

Opening the door, Lin Ziyi immediately had Tushan Lingling re-envelop the cabin with Soul Power, and then had Bloody Mary check if the food had been drugged.

As an important figure in Slaughter City, long influenced by Yellow Springs Dew, Bloody Mary had considerable knowledge of poisons.

Bloody Mary carefully examined the food with her Soul Power and then shook her head at Lin Ziyi:

"There are no signs of poison."

"Is that so..." A look of solemnity appeared on Lin Ziyi's face, "Then it seems these people's methods are not as simple as I imagined..."
