Douluo: Soul Shadow King.

After leaving the Far North, Cheng Xiao returned to Tiandou City without stopping. Nash's speed was very fast. It took him less than a day to return to Tiandou City from the Far North. Nash's speed also shocked the Snow Emperor and the Ice Emperor.

Perhaps these two kings of the Far North had never thought that there would be living creatures with such speed.

As they were about to approach Tiandou City, curiosity appeared in the eyes of Xue Di and Bing Di. This was their first time in human society and their first time seeing a human city. After all, they had never been out of the Far North.

After entering the city and passing the inspection, Cheng Xiao easily walked into Tiandou City. The Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor who followed him in human form naturally attracted the attention of others.

Soon, he returned to Seven Star Academy. There was no change in Seven Star Academy and everything was normal.

When the students around saw the two peerless beauties following Cheng Xiao, they all opened their mouths wide with surprise on their faces.

But soon, they made way for Cheng Xiao. In the Seven Star Academy, Cheng Xiao's status was the same as that of Dugu Bo in the academy. Although he did not hold a position, his reputation was very loud.

After entering the teaching building, Cheng Xiao went straight to the dean's office.

After pushing open the door, he saw Dugu Bo sitting in a chair, handling affairs.

Cheng Xiao raised his lips and said with a smile: "Old Poison, I'm back."

Hearing Cheng Xiao's voice, Dugu Bo flashed and came in front of the latter. After looking him up and down, he smiled and said, "It seems that you have gained a lot from this trip and your strength has improved."

As he spoke, Dugu Bo looked at the Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor behind Cheng Xiao, frowned slightly, and asked, "Who are these two?"

Cheng Xiao smiled and explained to Dugu Bo: "These two are friends I met in the Far North. With them here, our strength will be further guaranteed."

Hearing this, Dugu Bo looked at Bingdi and Xuedi with strange eyes and said, "Are you making friends right?"

As if noticing Dugu Bo's strange look, Xue Di looked over with her cold eyes. Just one glance and Dugu Bo felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

Cold, extremely cold!

Shivering all over, Dugu Bo knew he couldn't afford to offend the other party, so he immediately changed the subject, "By the way, I don't know what the Spirit Hall has been doing recently. I heard from Juhua Guan that the Pope seems to be plotting something. Do we need to prepare in advance?"

"Hmm..." Cheng Xiao thought for a moment and said softly, "Let's prepare first. With what happened in the Worship Hall, I guess no one in the Spirit Hall can restrain the Pope."

After saying that, Cheng Xiao continued, "Old Poison, I came back to see you this time. I have to go out again tomorrow, and I have to solve some hidden dangers first."

Dugu Bo frowned slightly and asked in confusion: "Why are you busier than me?"

Cheng Xiao smiled helplessly and did not answer. The main reason was that he was indeed busy. After all, he could not sleep well as long as the Dragon Emperor was alive.

Wuhun Hall, Elder Hall.

"Grandpa, are you feeling better?" Qian Renxue looked at Qian Daoliu, who was lying on the bed with a face as pale as paper, her bright eyes gleaming with tears.

From childhood to adulthood, her only relative is her grandfather, and the one who cares about her the most is also her grandfather. In these days, she has never returned to the Tiandou Empire, and has been in this Elder Hall, taking care of Qian Daoliu.

The other priests wanted to help, but were rejected by Qian Renxue as expected. So, during the time Qian Renxue stayed in the Elders' Hall, the priests stood at the door, guarding it like security guards.

"Xiaoxue, Grandpa is fine." Qian Daoliu forced himself to cheer up, touched Qian Renxue's head, and said softly: "Grandpa just consumed a lot of energy, it's okay."

"Grandpa, who hurt you like this?" After hesitating for a long time, Qian Renxue asked the question that she wanted to ask most. In her heart, Qian Daoliu was omnipotent, but now, there was actually someone who could hurt Qian Daoliu like this. How strong was that person?

"It's the king of the creatures from another world." Qian Daoliu sighed and said, "Xiaoxue, don't worry about this matter for now. It's not something you can stop."

"The most urgent thing is to hurry up and complete the angel assessment. Only in this way can you prevent the tragedy from happening."

Hearing this, Qian Renxue bit her red lips lightly and nodded heavily. She knew that although her grandfather no longer cared about the affairs of the world, when it came to this, he still stood up resolutely. This was the mission of the Qian family and also the responsibility of the descendants of the Angel God.

"Grandpa, I understand..."

The next morning, when the first ray of sunlight appeared on the horizon, the Seven Stars Academy was already bustling with activity.

"Old Poisonous Man, time waits for no one. I won't say goodbye to Lingling and the others, so that they don't have to worry." Standing at the gate of the academy, Cheng Xiao said to Dugu Bo.

"You little brat, I won't say anything more. Come back alive." As a Titled Douluo, Dugu Bo had also heard of the name of the City of Slaughter. He knew that the place was abandoned by even the Spirit Hall, so it must be extremely dangerous.

"Don't worry, I will definitely come back." Looking at Dugu Bo's slightly worried face, Cheng Xiao smiled and said casually.

Hearing this, Dugu Bo took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Then let's go. I will wait for you in the academy."

Cheng Xiao smiled without saying anything. He summoned Nash and stepped on his back. As the dragon wings spread, he flew into the sky in front of everyone's eyes and disappeared into the horizon.

Looking at Cheng Xiao who was gradually disappearing from his sight, Dugu Bo sighed softly after a while. He then turned around and strode towards the teaching building.

…………

According to the map given by Dugu Bo, after Cheng Xiao confirmed the direction, Nash quickly headed towards the City of Slaughter.

Tiandou City is very far away from the City of Slaughter, but Nash's speed is also first-rate. About a week later, the endless blood-red mountains appeared in Cheng Xiao's vision, and then a blood-red town came into view.

Looking at the bloody town, Nash, who was running at a rapid speed, finally slowed down. After a moment, Nash returned to human form and followed Cheng Xiao, Xue Di and Bing Di into the blood-red town.

As soon as he stepped into the town, Cheng Xiao felt a strong breath of death. He glanced casually and saw many corpses that had been eaten beyond recognition on the road leading to the town. The strangest thing was that these corpses were shriveled beyond recognition, obviously because their blood had been drained.

"So disgusting." Bingdi frowned subconsciously, and she raised her hand, and the emerald green light instantly turned the bloody sky into dark green. Then, the ultimate ice was released, and in just a moment, this town filled with the smell of blood became an ice town. Cheng Xiao didn't say anything about Bingdi's behavior, and continued to walk on his own.

Along the way, many humans were frozen into ice sculptures. They all carried weapons to a greater or lesser extent, and quite a few even had ferocious looks on their faces. They were obviously not good people. In a place like this, if you die, you die.

The size of the town was somewhat beyond Cheng Xiao's expectations, but after he sent out the shadow soldiers, he found the only building in the town that had not been frozen by the Ice Emperor, which was a blood-red old tavern.

The air in the tavern was very turbid. From the perspective of the shadow soldier, Cheng Xiao clearly saw that the decorations inside were all blood red. It was daytime outside, but the tavern gave people a cold and dark feeling.

At the door of the tavern, there were a few Fallen who were about to open the door, but these Fallen had turned into ice sculptures, and no one could escape.

After finding the destination, Cheng Xiao activated the shadow swap, and then he pushed open the door of the tavern and walked in.

As soon as he entered the tavern, Cheng Xiao found that there were many Fallen sitting together. When these Fallen saw Cheng Xiao and the Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor behind him, their eyes immediately stopped on the two women.

Those eyes were filled with all kinds of desires, but there was no fear. Perhaps for these desperadoes, death was no longer a scary thing.

Being able to come here means they have accepted death.

Without any hesitation, Cheng Xiao walked straight to the bar. Seeing this, the waiter immediately took out three cups of dark red liquid from under the bar. Although they didn't drink it, the strong smell of blood still made Xue Di and Bing Di feel nauseous.

"What is this?" Bingdi asked with a frown.

"You come here, but you don't know what this is?" The waiter looked at Bingdi coldly and said: "It's called Bloody Mary, it's a cup of human blood."

"We don't drink this stuff, take it away." Cheng Xiao spoke before Bingdi could say anything.

"I didn't expect a novice to come?" Hearing Cheng Xiao's words, the Fallen in the tavern immediately looked over. They laughed and said, "This is a city of slaughter. You don't even dare to drink a glass of human blood. You'd better go home as soon as possible."

"He can go away, but these two girls have to stay."

"That's right, such a top-notch woman is actually following such a pretty boy. Let us nourish you properly."

All kinds of dirty noises were heard in the tavern. Those depraved people did not seem to take Cheng Xiao seriously. They all looked at Bing Di and Xue Di with lustful expressions. They had never seen such exquisite beauties before.

Hearing this, Cheng Xiao's face remained calm. He didn't even open his mouth or give any orders. The soldiers hiding in his shadow all appeared in the tavern.

With the appearance of the shadow soldiers, these fallen ones who had been boasting so much were suddenly dumbfounded. They all wanted to escape from here with horror on their faces, but it was too late. Having insulted the king of the shadows, their lives came to an end.

"Leave no one alive!" As the king's order was given, the shadow army swallowed up the fallen in an instant.

Soon, there was only one voice left in the tavern, that of Cheng Xiao.

"Now, can we open the entrance to the City of Slaughter?"

"Okay...Okay." The waiter was scared to death. He had never seen such a scary guy before. He immediately opened the passage to the city of killing.

As the passage was opened, a huge hole appeared under the bar, and a cold wind blew up from the cave.

Seeing this, Cheng Xiao jumped down directly with Bing Di and Xue Di. In the void and darkness, Cheng Xiao seemed to have lost his perception. In less than a moment, he arrived at the bottom of the passage.

After landing on the ground, Snow Emperor and Ice Emperor looked around curiously. Even though they felt repelled by this place, there was nothing they could do since they were already here, so they just followed.

"Welcome to the City of Slaughter. This is the capital of hell, a world full of slaughter. Here, you can get everything you want through killing, but the price is your life."

A cold voice came from all directions.

Hearing this, Cheng Xiao's expression did not change at all. As the successor of the King of Death, what was there to fear in a mere killing ground?

"Is this... the fluctuation of magical power?" Cheng Xiao had just taken a few steps when he keenly sensed the magical aura in the air.

A smile appeared on Cheng Xiao's lips. He had already guessed which king was here. The City of Slaughter was somewhat similar to Demon City. He just didn't know whether the ruler here was the King of Slaughter or the Demon King.

"Come on, let's go in and take a look."

Looking back at the Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor who looked like curious babies, Cheng Xiao smiled, summoned the shadow soldiers, and slowly moved forward.

Walking slowly in the dark passage, the shadow soldiers were at the front, so Cheng Xiao didn't worry about anything. If there was any problem, the shadow soldiers would inform him of the information immediately.

Walking in the dark passage, except for the rustling sound of footsteps, it was almost quiet. Cheng Xiao kept walking forward. The dark passage seemed to have no end, until a big door came into view.

Following the shadow soldiers to the front of the gate, Cheng Xiao looked up and saw the four big words "City of Killing" written on it.

"You have violated the rules." The deep and powerful voice sounded extremely cold. The black-armored knight riding a warhorse stared coldly at Cheng Xiao and his group and his soldiers.

"Kill him." Cheng Xiao said almost nothing. As soon as he thought about it, the shadow soldiers rushed towards the black-armored knight. As the king's soldiers, they didn't care about any rules.

The black-armored knight was stunned for a moment, as if he had never thought that one day he would hear the three words "kill him" from the mouth of someone who entered the City of Slaughter.

Almost in an instant, the black-armored knight was torn to pieces by the shadow soldiers. Although the City of Slaughter has restrictions on soul masters, for Cheng Xiao, these so-called restrictions are useless to him, because he is not a normal soul master. He doesn't even have soul skills, so how can there be any restrictions?
With the death of the Black-Armored Knight, the surrounding Black-Armored Knights suddenly changed their attitude. They walked forward respectfully and threw three tokens to Cheng Xiao. Although they did not drink Bloody Mary, defeating the Death Knight was also a way to enter the city.

After seeing Cheng Xiao's strength, these black-armored knights became obedient and didn't even make a sound.

Cheng Xiao didn't waste any words. He took the token and walked towards the black city in the distance. The shadow soldiers following him all looked at the black-armored knights with cold expressions, as if they were going to tear them to pieces in the next moment.

For the shadow soldiers, provoking the king has only one outcome: death. (End of this chapter)
