Time Flies
Stepping out of the room, Jun Xuehan instructed the maids to prepare a rattan chair, a pot of tea, and a plate of pastries before standing still and waiting quietly.
After the maid brought the things over, Jun Xuehan leisurely lay on the rattan chair, drinking tea, eating pastries, and basking in the sun.
In the room, Hu Liena looked at the things in front of her, then at the direction Jun Xuehan had left in, and her hands, which were resting on the table, clenched involuntarily.
"Junior brother, thank you so much!" Hu Liena murmured to herself, her eyes filled with resentment.
This is something only a human being could do; anything that involves humans, I would never do.
"Nana, since you like to eat, then eat more," Bibi Dong said quietly, and then began to eat the dishes in front of her.
Time flies like an arrow, and years pass like a shuttle; time is like flowing water, never to return.
In the blink of an eye, a year has quietly passed.
Over the course of a year, Jun Xuehan's Soul Power increased relatively slowly due to her recovery from injuries.
Meanwhile, Qian Renxue found a Soul Master in the Worship Hall who could disguise himself and impersonate Xue Qinghe to temporarily stay in the Heaven Dou Imperial Family in her place, and to carry out the plan she had already set out.
After suffering a crushing defeat in the competition, the Golden Generation spent a year focusing on training.
In the Front Hall of the Pope's Palace, Bibi Dong put down her political affairs and looked down at Hu Liena and Jun Xuehan, who was leisurely drinking tea to the side.
"Xuehan, I plan to send you and the Golden Generation to the City of Slaughter. Although the City of Slaughter is dangerous, as long as you achieve Hundred Victories in the Hell Slaughter Arena and walk the Road to Hell, you will obtain a Divine Slaughter's Domain. You also possess a domain, so you should be very clear about how much a domain can enhance your strength." Bibi Dong looked at Jun Xuehan and said softly.
"I know, but to be honest, teacher, my injuries haven't fully healed yet, so please let Senior Sister and the Golden Generation go instead." Jun Xuehan thought for a moment and then refused.
His injuries had fully healed several months ago, and his refusal was simply because he didn't want to go to the City of Slaughter.
The City of Slaughter is the place of inheritance of the Supreme God of the Divine Realm: the Asura God. Although with his current strength, the Asura God probably wouldn't bother with him.
But no matter what, that is the place where the Asura God's legacy is passed down, so it's best to avoid wandering around there.
"Xue'er, you'll be going too. After things are settled in the Heaven Dou Empire, I plan to Bestow Marriage you both. If your injuries haven't healed, then let them go on their own. You should rest and recover in the Pope's Palace." Bibi Dong glanced at Jun Xuehan, then looked down at the government affairs before her, speaking as if casually.
"There's no need for that. It's just a minor injury, nothing serious. Besides, Senior Sister and the Golden Generation are still a bit lacking in strength. I'm a little worried about their safety if we let them go on their own."
"After all, my senior sister took great care of me when I first came to the Pope's Palace. Xie Yue and Yan are also rare geniuses in our Spirit Hall, so I should go with them."
Jun Xuehan put down her teacup, stood up straight, and said in a serious tone.
Upon hearing this, Hu Liena glanced at Jun Xuehan without showing any emotion. She almost believed it; she was just a hair's breadth away from believing it.
"Xuehan, if your injuries haven't healed, there's no need to force yourself," Bibi Dong said with a light laugh.
"I won't force it. Whether the Bestow Marriage not doesn't matter. My main concern is the safety of my senior sisters." Jun Xuehan waved her hand dismissively.
Bibi Dong smiled and said, "The City of Slaughter is a place without any rules. As long as you are strong enough, you can do whatever you want there."
"In this place, trust no one except your own people. Strength and killing are the only ways to solve things."
Bibi Dong looked at them and gave a brief explanation of the situation in the City of Slaughter.
Jun Xuehan blinked as she looked at the smile on Bibi Dong's face. Ever since the incident with Yu Xiaogang, Bibi Dong had been smiling more and more often.
Moreover, over the course of a year, the relationship between Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue has eased considerably. Although it hasn't improved much, it's no longer as strained as before.
"Go and make some preparations. In a few days, I will take you to the City of Slaughter." Bibi Dong waved her hand gently, signaling them to go and make some preparations.
"Okay, teacher." Jun Xuehan and Hu Liena each agreed and walked off in different directions.
Jun Xuehan headed towards the rear hall, while Hu Liena walked straight out of the Pope's Palace.
Jun Xuehan returned to her room and looked at Qian Renxue, who was packing her things, and couldn't help but ask, "Xue'er, it seems that you knew about this earlier than I did."
Hearing Jun Xuehan's voice, Qian Renxue sat down on the bed and said, "Xuehan, are you talking about going to the City of Slaughter?"
Jun Xuehan nodded slightly, sat down directly next to Qian Renxue, and said, "Yes, I just found out that you've already started packing."
Qian Renxue rolled her eyes and said, "I found out this morning. You were cultivating at the time, so I went back to the Worship Hall first, told Grandpa about it, and then came back to pack my things."
Jun Xuehan reached out and stroked Qian Renxue's hair, asking softly, "So, the Great Worship Elder agrees to let you go to the City of Slaughter."
Qian Renxue glanced at Jun Xuehan and said, "Of course I agree. The City of Slaughter is a very suitable place for training, and also a place to hone one's killing intent."
She did know something about the City of Slaughter, but not in great detail.
"Yes, that makes sense. The City of Slaughter is indeed a very suitable place for training. Moreover, after walking the Road to Hell, you can obtain a Divine Slaughter's Domain, which greatly enhances your strength." Jun Xuehan nodded in agreement.
Putting everything else aside, if you have enough strength and a strong enough will, the City of Slaughter is a place for training. But if you are not strong enough or your will is not strong enough, it is a very dangerous place to get out of there.
Putting aside everything else, just considering desires, there are no rules to follow. People with weak willpower can easily fall into them and become Fallen Ones.
Moreover, there is the most dangerous Road to Hell. The Hundred Victories in the Slaughter Hell Arena are only for accumulating killing intent. For those with strength, it is not that dangerous. The real danger is the Road to Hell that follows.
