"One more thing, we should conceal our identities while in the Slaughter City, otherwise our actions will be severely restricted," Qian Renxue said. "To achieve this, we first need to disguise ourselves and change our appearance."
As she spoke, Qian Renxue took out three mask-like objects. These were unique products of the Spirit Hall. As long as they were worn on the face, they could create a deceptive effect and thus conceal one's appearance.
Furthermore, since Soul Skill cannot be used within the Slaughter City, the risk of exposure is greatly reduced, making the mask's effect sufficient.
Nevertheless, Qi Ling declined Qian Renxue's offer, because his artifact, the Divine Head and Ghost Face, was clearly a more advanced tool that could perfectly conceal his identity.
After seeing Qi Ling equip the Divine Head and Ghost Face, not only did his appearance change, but his temperament also changed. Even if he knew Qi Ling's identity, he would not be able to recognize him at all, even if he stood right in front of him.
Such a magical artifact has such powerful effects, sometimes even to unimaginable degrees. With it, infiltrating a place or even someone's side becomes incredibly easy.
" Qi Ling, this prop of yours..." Qian Renxue asked curiously.
"Hmm? What, you want to play? Here, you can have it." Qi Ling said, casually tossing the Divine Head and Ghost Face to Qian Renxue.
Seeing that Qi Ling didn't seem to care about such a precious item at all, Qian Renxue was touched, but still refused, saying, "No, Qi Ling, this thing is too precious. It might even attract people with ulterior motives to snatch it. You must take good care of it."
"After all, many people are afraid that a stranger will suddenly appear next to them without them noticing, and your magical artifact can obviously do just that."
"Of course I know, that's why I only take this out in front of people I trust," Qi Ling said with a smile. "We're all friends who've risked our lives for each other, what's there to hide?"
Both Qian Renxue and Jian Lan had deep conversations with Qi Ling and had gone through many things together, so Qi Ling trusted them completely.
To reiterate, Qi Ling trusts those he trusts completely. He also believes that no one can afford the cost of betraying him.
Generally speaking, those who want to go to the Slaughter City are either heinous outlaws or exiled criminals who have no place to live in the normal world.
Therefore, the entrances to the Slaughter City are mostly places with high foot traffic, such as inns, hotels, or shops.
The entrance that Qian Renxue led Qi Ling and the others to was a pawnshop, a pawnshop where anything could be pawned.
As the three entered the pawnshop, the owner behind the counter glanced at them sideways and then lazily said, "What would you three like to pawn at my little shop?"
Qi Ling stepped forward and, following Qian Renxue's instructions, said, "I'll take your life!"
"Oh? Pawn your life?" The shopkeeper's interest was piqued by Qi Ling's words. "You only have one life. If you pawn it, what will you use?"
"Use other people's lives!" Qi Ling said.
"Hmm, that's a good deal," the shopkeeper chuckled. "Are all three of you here to risk your lives? These days, there aren't many female customers willing to risk their lives."
"Enough with the nonsense, I'll take the job if you want!" Qi Ling said, feigning impatience.
"Hmph, you think you can just take your life? Not everyone can!" the shopkeeper sneered. "Go in, follow the tunnel down the back. As for how much you can take, that depends on how much your lives are worth!"
Following the shopkeeper's instructions, the three entered the pawnshop and then followed a tunnel down to the ground. Below lay the official trial of the Slaughter City.
"Hey, this is like a secret deal, they even have to use a code!" Qi Ling said speechlessly, " A Xue, how did you know their code?"
"Our people have seen others go in before, so they know what they were saying," Qian Renxue said. "As for what's down in this tunnel, we have no idea."
"Wow, is there some kind of hideous monster living down there, and it's going to feed us all to it?" Qi Ling laughed. "Isn't that how it's always written in fairy tales? Beneath the sinful pawnshop lives a greedy dragon."
"Huh? A greedy dragon? Well, Qi Ling, are you greedy or not?" Jian Lan laughed.
"Punctuations will get you fined, Jian Lan!" Qi Ling said helplessly. "How could you even come up with such a lame joke?"
When the three arrived at the end of the underground passage, they were greeted by a large open space and more than a dozen fierce-looking, burly men, who were presumably also planning to enter the Slaughter City.
Upon seeing that the refined and cultured Qi Ling had actually entered with two beautiful women, the others couldn't help but smirk and say, "Oh my, where did this young master come from, with servants at the same time? Are you here for an outing?"
"Kid, this isn't a place for you to play around. Leave the woman here and get back to your house! Otherwise, I might just take one of your arms!"
"Hahaha, woman, woman, I haven't seen a woman in so long! I want a woman, a woman!"
Looking at this group of crazy people, Qi Ling couldn't help but frown, even though she had already imagined what the situation inside the Slaughter City would be like.
"What should we do? Should we kill them?" Qi Ling asked the two in a low voice.
Jian Lan shrugged indifferently and said, "It's the same whether we kill them or not. They're very weak, so there's no point in killing them."
"No, it still has meaning," Qian Renxue said, drawing her Angel Sword. "At least it can purify the air here and make this place much more pleasing to the eye."
Then, those villains who had been so arrogant just moments before learned what regret was. They weren't even Soul Master, and under Qian Renxue's sword, they couldn't even put up a fight.
As the leader of the Holy Temple Knight Order, Qian Renxue has never been a soft-hearted person. On the contrary, she is often so cold-blooded that it is frightening.
Since she was determined to uphold her own sense of justice, she could not tolerate any enemies who stood in her way. Therefore, Qian Renxue never regretted wielding her sword against her enemies.
In less than ten seconds, all the enemies who had spoken rudely earlier had fallen to Qian Renxue's sword. The remaining people were trembling incessantly, fearing that Qian Renxue might dislike them and kill them as well.
" A Xue, what are you doing..." Qi Ling said.
"What's wrong? Qi Ling, do you think I was too cruel? If you can't be ruthless towards your enemies, you'll regret it sooner or later," Qian Renxue said.
"No, I mean, if you're going to do something, do it cleanly. What's the point of leaving these few eyewitnesses?" Qi Ling sighed and drew her sword. "Also, stop using your Angel Sword. It's too easy to give yourself away!"
