Journey to the City of Slaughter

The next day, early morning.

In the Pope's Palace, a luxurious carriage slowly made its way towards the Spirit City.

Jun Xuehan, Xie Yue, and Yan sat at the front of the carriage, each holding a whip, and drove the carriage forward.

Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue, and Hu Liena sat quietly in the carriage, with Bibi Dong directing the way towards the City of Slaughter.

As the carriage left Spirit City, Jun Xuehan swung her whip, which struck the horse, instantly increasing the carriage's speed.

"Brother Han, how far is the City of Slaughter from Spirit City?" Yan flicked the whip a few times, increasing the carriage's speed.

"I don't know, I've never been there, asking me is pointless," Jun Xuehan said softly, putting her hands behind her head.

"If the journey is long, won't the three of us have to wait outside the carriage for a long time?" Xie Yue also swung the carriage, and the horse, in pain, increased its speed again.

"No need for that. We're not traveling all the time. If we're lucky, we can spend the night in a city along the way, but if we're unlucky and come to a place with no village or shop in sight, we'll have to camp out in the wild," Jun Xuehan replied nonchalantly, looking at the scenery along the way.

"By the way, Brother Han, it's been over a year since the competition. How's your strength improving? Our Golden Generation's strength has increased significantly." Yan smiled and waved his riding whip.

"I've spent most of my time recovering from my injuries, so my improvement is probably slower, but beating you guys wouldn't be a problem at all," Jun Xuehan said casually, glancing at Yan.

In just over a year, due to his injuries, Jun Xuehan's Soul Power only increased by three levels, from level 63 Soul Emperor to level 66 Soul Emperor.

But Jun Xuehan is only sixteen years old, and for someone like him who can fight beyond his level, Soul Power is not the only standard for measuring strength.

Xie Yue cracked his whip and said, "Brother Han, even if we improve a lot, our Soul Power is still not as high as it was a year ago, so naturally we can't beat you."

The increasing speed of the carriage blew through the hair of the three of them.

Jun Xuehan looked at the scenery rushing past and said, "Does this horse have a grudge against you? If you keep fighting like this, I think we might not even make it to Spirit City."

The horses pulling the carriage were not ordinary horses, but rather Soul Beast with a cultivation level of around thirty years, amazing endurance, a very docile temperament, and great speed: Scale Horse.

But Scale Horse is still a horse after all. Its current speed is estimated to be 120 miles per hour. If they continue fighting like this, even if they don't kill it, the Scale Horse will die of exhaustion.

"We didn't notice, we didn't notice." Xie Yue and Yan smiled awkwardly and stopped waving their riding whips.

Fortunately, everyone on the vehicle was Soul Master, and a powerful Soul Master at that. If they were ordinary people, they would probably have been thrown off long ago at that speed.

They endured wind and rain, sleeping outdoors, for a month.

A small town appeared before Jun Xuehan's eyes.

The town was small, but as soon as the carriage entered, a strange atmosphere enveloped it, and the passersby looked at them with a chill in their eyes.

In the center of the town, there was a tavern, and the carriage slowly came to a stop in front of it.

Bibi Dong, Jun Xuehan, Qian Renxue, Hu Liena and their entourage stepped down from the carriage and entered the tavern.

The air inside the tavern was very stuffy, and the decorations were all black, giving it a cold and dark feel.

The arrival of Bibi Dong, Jun Xuehan, and the others attracted a lot of attention, but most people only glanced at them briefly. Only a few people looked at Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue, and Hu Liena with greedy and lustful eyes.

The group found an empty seat and sat down. A woman dressed in black with an indifferent expression walked over.

What would you like to order?

"Five Bloody Mary," Bibi Dong said coldly, glancing at the newcomer.

"Are you sure?" The waiter's expression changed slightly. He was about to ask more questions when he was frightened by Bibi Dong's cold gaze and dared not say anything more. He turned around and left.

In just a short while, five glasses of murky liquid were brought over. The liquid was dark red and emitted a strong, fishy smell, as Blood One.

Qian Renxue looked at the Bloody Mary in front of her, sniffed it lightly, and immediately determined that it was a cup of human blood.

"You drank Bloody Mary," Bibi Dong said calmly, her eyes slightly closed.

Upon hearing this, Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan did not pick up the Bloody Mary in front of them. Qian Renxue frowned slightly, seemingly hesitant, while Jun Xuehan showed no intention of picking it up at all.

Just as Qian Renxue was about to reach for Bloody Mary, Jun Xuehan reached out and pressed down on it.

"Don't drink it, it's poisoned," Jun Xuehan said calmly.

Qian Renxue glanced at Jun Xuehan in surprise and quickly withdrew her hand. Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan, on the other hand, spat out the Bloody Mary they were eating.

"Junior brother, why didn't you say so sooner?" Hu Liena looked at Jun Xuehan.

"Bloody Mary contains Chronic Toxin and can cause dependence. As long as it doesn't cause dependence, drinking a small amount of Bloody Mary is fine," Jun Xuehan said nonchalantly.

"Drinking Bloody Mary is one of the rules for entering the City of Slaughter," Bibi Dong said softly, slowly opening her eyes.

"Teacher, do we still need to follow the rules when entering the City of Slaughter?" Jun Xuehan smiled indifferently, glancing subtly at the counter.

The entrance to the City of Slaughter is located just below the tavern counter.

"What you say is not wrong. Nana, in the City of Slaughter, you should prioritize Xuehan." Bibi Dong smiled and looked at Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan.

"Okay, teacher!"

"Yes, Your His Holiness the Pope!"

Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan readily agreed.

"Where did this chick come from? Hahaha, even Bloody Mary can't stand it. Go home, this is not a place for you."

"He can't even drink Bloody Mary, yet he still wants to enter the City of Slaughter."

All sorts of filthy noises spread through the tavern, as if the patrons had found an outlet for their frustrations, making noise without restraint.

"Xie Yue, Yan, kill them." Jun Xuehan tapped her fingers lightly on the table, glanced around, and said softly.

"Kill them?" Xie Yue and Yan looked at Jun Xuehan in surprise, then turned their gazes to Bibi Dong, as if seeking Bibi Dong opinion.
