"Senior Bo Saixi," Tang Xiao stepped forward at that moment and said.

"Because Grandfather is currently in a parasitized state, he can't recognize us at all. Even if you appear before him, he won't recognize you. Grandfather's mind has been eroded by the Rakshasa God's evil thoughts, and he has been parasitized by the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King, reduced to the King of Slaughter of Slaughter City.

So, Senior Bo Saixi, when Grandfather sees you for the first time, he may very well regard you as an enemy. You must be careful. We can buy time for you, but you must be quick."

When Tang Xiao said this, the elders of the Clear Sky Sect also agreed. After all, this was for the spiritual totem of the Clear Sky Sect, Tang Chen.

So no matter what, they had to move quickly. Bo Saixi was currently the only person who could help them save Tang Chen.

Therefore, in their eyes, nothing could happen to Bo Saixi no matter what. Even if they lost an arm or a leg, they could not let anything happen to Bo Saixi.

Besides, Bo Saixi was the woman their eldest uncle liked. Just imagine: if Clear Sky Douluo Tang Chen and Sea God Douluo Bo Saixi married and had a child, how strong would that child's talent be? Perhaps it would be many times stronger than Tang San's.

Eldest Uncle, we've come to save you. Once we free you and let you be together with Senior Bo Saixi, not only will we have the support of a powerful force like Sea God Island as our backing, but with your return, it will be equivalent to having two Limit Douluo. Would we still need to fear Spirit Hall?

When the time comes, the two of you can have a child together and give birth to an outstanding genius, someone who surpasses Tang San. That will also leave hope for our Clear Sky Sect.

The Second Elder of the Clear Sky Sect thought this to himself.

Soon after, the Death Knight appeared.

The representative figure of the Death Knights was Scott. He was stationed year-round at the entrance to Slaughter City, and he was the ultimate trial that outside soul masters had to face when entering Slaughter City.

His strength was at the Title Douluo level, and he possessed an extremely sharp killing intent.

His exclusive privilege was that soul skills were forbidden throughout all of Slaughter City, while he was the only one who could freely use soul skills in the outer area.

His core duty was to screen entrants, while also leading the entire Spirit Douluo-level "Slaughter Enforcement Team" in hunting down fugitives and suppressing rebellions.

"Hello, Death Knight. We wish to see the King of Slaughter."

At this moment, the Second Elder of the Clear Sky Sect did not want to draw over the fallen ones—in other words, those Fallen Soul Masters—nor did he want to fight the Death Knight, because the Death Knight could use soul skills, while they probably could not use soul skills right now. So it was best not to make a move, or it would be very disadvantageous for them.

"Who are you people? Why do you want to see the King of Slaughter?" Scott could not understand why anyone would dare to see the King of Slaughter at a time like this. The King of Slaughter's reputation was not good at all. The King of Slaughter was the ruler of Slaughter City, and also the strongest among the Fallen Soul Masters.

On the Douluo Continent, in the eyes of those bright and glorious soul masters, Fallen Soul Masters were existences that ought to be crusaded against and destroyed. In Spirit Hall's eyes, it was the same.

But these people before him all seemed to be around the Spirit Douluo level, and that woman looked like she had the strength of a Title Douluo, perhaps even stronger than him. Why did these people want to see the King of Slaughter?

"We have come to see the King of Slaughter to make a deal. We hope to meet the King of Slaughter himself first, and then state the contents of the deal."

Tang Lie stepped forward at that moment and said this. This was the method he had thought of. If they directly stated that they wanted to save the King of Slaughter, how could that possibly work? How could these Death Knights let them through? Besides, what did the affairs of their Clear Sky Sect have to do with the Death Knights? They definitely would not help, and they might even suspect them of being frauds.

If they fought directly then, the Death Knight, who could use soul skills, would be a huge problem for them.

So at this moment, saying that they had come to make a deal with the King of Slaughter, and also stating that they wanted to make the deal after meeting him, was the best choice. That way, the Death Knight would not make things difficult for them. Perhaps he would contact the higher-ups, and after they considered it, they might agree to meet.

"..." Death Knight Scott indeed sank into thought at that moment.

Are these guys telling the truth or not? Why do these guys want to see the King of Slaughter? Could they really have come to make a deal?

If it's a deal, then it should be some special deal with the King of Slaughter. In that case, it shouldn't be a bad thing for us. If so, then that's fine. Let them go see the King of Slaughter.

But the problem is, if they didn't come to make a deal and instead have ill intentions, what then?

But the problem is, the King of Slaughter's strength is nothing to scoff at either. The King of Slaughter is a peerless Douluo, a top-tier Title Douluo. Even if people from Spirit Hall came, there would be no need to fear them. So letting them in should be fine. But who exactly is this woman? Why does Moscow still feel so strange?

It feels as if I've encountered some kind of natural enemy. Forget it. I'll report to the King of Slaughter first.

After Death Knight Scott finished considering it, he gave his answer.

"I will first report to the King of Slaughter. You wait in the city for our reply. After all, not just anyone can see the King of Slaughter. It must be approved by the King of Slaughter. Even I cannot decide. I do not have the King of Slaughter's strength. In this place, only strength matters."

These words were also the truth. Scott did indeed have the combat strength of a Title Douluo, but the problem was that compared to the King of Slaughter, he was still far too lacking. At the Title Douluo level, the higher the rank, the greater the gap.

It was just like the gap between rank 97 and rank 98; it was enormous.

"Understood."

Very soon, the Clear Sky Sect's elders, Tang Xiao, and Bo Saixi arrived in Slaughter City. They first entered a room for receiving guests to wait for an opportunity. Before long, the King of Slaughter indicated that he wanted to see them.

"The King of Slaughter has stated that he is willing to meet with you, and he also hopes that this deal of yours is sincere. Otherwise, you will regret it."

After Scott finished speaking, he led everyone toward the location of the King of Slaughter within Slaughter City, which was his throne.

Very soon, several of them arrived at the place where the King of Slaughter was and saw the parasitized Tang Chen, who was the King of Slaughter.

"Tang Chen." Bo Saixi looked at the hybrid of bat and human before her, her heart aching terribly as she watched the person she loved suffering.

"Eldest Uncle." The Second Elder of the Clear Sky Sect also felt pain. His own eldest uncle had become like this.

"Grandfather." Tang Xiao also shed tears.
