"Tang Xiao, I don't know much about the details of Slaughter City. Could you tell me about it during this time? After all, if we're going to Slaughter City to help your grandfather, Tang Chen, then having more information would be a good thing."

Bo Saixi said this because she truly did not know much about Slaughter City on Douluo Continent. She had only heard of it before and did not know the specifics.

After all, Bo Saixi had always lived on Sea God Island. She did not understand Douluo Continent, aside from knowing something about a few of its coastal cities. How could she possibly know about Slaughter City? That place was so vile—it sheltered Fallen Soul Masters, or the Evil Soul Masters from the second part of Douluo Continent.

Some ordinary Soul Masters did not even know it existed.

"Yes, Senior Bo Saixi. I'll tell you now. Slaughter City is a lawless place on Douluo Continent, where Fallen Soul Masters from across the continent are imprisoned. It is known as the 'paradise of criminals.'"

"This place was originally a trial ground left behind by the Asura God to select an inheritor. Later, it was corrupted by the Rakshasa God's evil intent, parasitized by the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King, and transformed into a sinful paradise filled with depravity and evil."

Tang Xiao originally knew little about Slaughter City. Tang San, who later became a god, had told him about it. Tang San had only told him these things because he was his granduncle.

"The one in charge there is the King of Slaughter, the highest ruler of Slaughter City—my grandfather. While undergoing the Asura God's trial, he was plotted against by the Rakshasa God, lost his mind, and was parasitized by the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King. That was how he came to rule Slaughter City."

"There are also the Death Knights responsible for guarding Slaughter City, as well as the King of Slaughter's envoys. All of them are Fallen Soul Masters."

"Furthermore, ordinary Soul Masters cannot use soul skills at all within Slaughter City. Only those belonging to Slaughter City are qualified to use them."

"Even Fallen Soul Masters cannot use soul skills unless they are official personnel of Slaughter City."

"There is also the Hell Slaughter Arena, the core area of Slaughter City. Those who enter must take part in a brutal ten-person melee, and only the last survivor can win. Participants must achieve one hundred consecutive victories before they earn the right to set foot on Hell Road."

"Yellow Spring Dew is the special currency circulated within Slaughter City, made from human blood. Those living in the outer city must hand over two cups of Yellow Spring Dew every month. Drinking it over a long period not only erodes one's mind but also creates dependency."

"Then there are Hell Road and Divine Slaughter's Domain. To truly leave Slaughter City, one must pass through the most dangerous challenge, Hell Road. Over the past thousand years, very few survivors have successfully emerged from Hell Road. All of them received the title of 'Slaughter God' and the innate domain known as Divine Slaughter's Domain."

"Then I have a question. Where does Slaughter City get its food? If people can only enter and cannot leave, where does the food come from? Without food, even drinking only water or blood cannot meet the body's needs. They would starve to death sooner or later."

"It's Spirit Hall. As I recall, one generation of Spirit Hall's Pope reached an agreement with the Evil Soul Masters of Slaughter City. Spirit Hall would provide Slaughter City with the Fallen Soul Masters it needed, and those Fallen Soul Masters would all be captured by Spirit Hall and sent into Slaughter City."

"At the same time, they would provide some resources, such as food and water. But the condition was that those Fallen Soul Masters in Slaughter City could not be allowed to come out and disrupt the order of Douluo Continent."

After hearing this, Bo Saixi gained a somewhat higher opinion of Qian Daoliu's Spirit Hall. After all, she had never liked Qian Daoliu and had thought even less of the Spirit Hall he led.

This man might not have Tang Chen's commanding presence, but now it seemed that the Spirit Hall led by the Angel Family was quite capable. They could drive all the Fallen Soul Masters into Slaughter City and protect the safety of Douluo Continent. It seemed that Spirit Hall was both useful and capable.

The Angel Family was formidable as well.

"It seems Qian Daoliu has worked quite hard. Since Spirit Hall can suppress so many Fallen Soul Masters and preserve peace on Douluo Continent, he is worthy of being mentioned in the same breath as your grandfather, Tang Chen."

"But that makes things troublesome. If soul skills cannot be used in Slaughter City, then it seems I can only use a divine artifact to help Tang Chen return to normal. However, you must help me buy time. I cannot be interrupted during that time. Otherwise, I may not be able to help your grandfather, and we may both end up trapped there."

Bo Saixi spoke earnestly. She truly wanted to help Tang Chen, because he was the man she loved. No one could interfere with her. If Tang Chen truly had been parasitized as Tang Xiao said, then they had to be prepared. Otherwise, all their efforts would be futile.

"If that is the case, then please come with me to the Clear Sky Sect, Senior. I'll gather all the uncles in my family. They are all Soul Douluo-level powerhouses and will certainly be able to help you. As long as Grandfather can break free of the control and be saved by you, the Clear Sky Sect will be safe."

All we need to do is wait for Xiao San to become a god. Even if Spirit Hall makes a move then, even if Qian Renxue becomes a god, Xiao San can still become the Sea God. And for Xiao San to become the Sea God, he will need Senior Bo Saixi. Although Senior Bo Saixi will need to sacrifice herself for Xiao San then, Xiao San said that her divine soul would be preserved, and in the end, she would reunite with our great-grandfather in the God Realm.

Although I cannot tell Senior Bo Saixi that Xiao San is the Sea God's inheritor, I can explain it to her later, little by little.

The most important thing now is to rescue Grandfather as quickly as possible and have him protect the Clear Sky Sect. Then we can provide Xiao San with the best resources, and he will be able to become the Sea God. At that point, the Clear Sky Sect will become a sect of gods.

"If that is the case, then I think it will work. Slaughter City is such a dangerous place that the more people we bring, the better. Besides, you have so many Soul Douluos, so your strength certainly will not be lacking. Having some extra manpower will make things easier."

"When Soul Masters cannot use soul skills, aside from high-level Titled Douluos, ordinary Titled Douluos would find it difficult to kill even a Soul Sage."

Bo Saixi was speaking the truth. Since Soul Masters could not use soul skills, unless they possessed top-tier or god-tier wuhuns, the two sides' strength would basically be equal, and either side would have a chance to defeat the other.

For example, the White Tiger Wuhun and the katana wuhun differed considerably in quality and rank. But without the ability to use soul skills, the wielders of those two wuhuns would both have a chance to kill the other.

That was what happened when soul skills could not be used: the strength of most Soul Masters became roughly the same.
