However, after taking only a few steps, he suddenly stopped.
"Something's wrong."
Shen Lian frowned slightly.
Both the Dark Gold Three-headed Bat King and the Ten-Headed Sun-Burning Dragon had been slain by him. Hell Road had effectively lost its final barrier.
If the Evil Soul Masters in the Capital of Slaughter who had achieved a hundred consecutive victories took this chance to escape through the unguarded Hell Road... the consequences would be unimaginable.
Shen Lian's fingertips moved slightly, and his spiritual power pierced through space, reaching the core region of the Capital of Slaughter.

"Yes... I will obey."
Shen Lian withdrew his spiritual power and continued onward.
Bound by that spiritual imprint, the Bat King would not dare to obey in public while defying him in secret.
At the very least, before Tang San arrived, the Evil Soul Masters of the Capital of Slaughter could forget about taking even half a step out of Hell Road.
