In Douluo, Wuhun holds the Tianping

After Li Xuan and Bai Chuan emerged from the secret passage, they began searching for clues in the wilderness outside the Killing City, hoping to find some useful leads.

The entire Killing City was illuminated by the Star Fruit Vine, making the space much brighter and making it easier to find clues.

Illuminated by the yellow light, Li Xuan saw that the soil in the City of Slaughter was all blood red, looking extremely eerie.

Li Xuan bent down, grabbed a handful of soil, and smelled it.

A strong smell of rust.

Blood!

Too many bodies have been buried here.

Li Xuan shook his head helplessly. It was quite normal for people to die here, so Li Xuan didn't pay any attention to it and continued to search for traces of the destruction of the Killing City.

After searching for half an hour, Li Xuan and Bai Chuan met at the entrance of the Killing City. They both shrugged, indicating that they had not found anything.

"Young Master, the main battlefield shouldn't be here. These are all corpses that have been dead for a while; there are no recently deceased bodies here," Bai Chuan reported earnestly to Li Xuan.

"It's not a big problem. We weren't expecting to find any useful clues here anyway. We still need to go in and take a look. Hopefully, there will be some clues inside." Li Xuan sighed helplessly, then pointed to the city in front of him and said to Bai Chuan behind him.

The red skull above his head, which was related to the Blood God, had made Li Xuan extremely vigilant.

That's an evil god! An evil god should be someone who can use divine power in the Douluo Continent.

Although Li Xuan had experienced true divine power with Poseidon, he knew just how much divine power could restrain his own strength.

Therefore, when facing an evil god, Li Xuan had to be on high alert and guard against such an existence.

After hearing Li Xuan's words, Bai Chuan nodded, since the main battlefield was inside the city of the Slaughter City.

Searching outside the city is merely a way to find other information, which would be helpful in entering the Killing City.

Then Bai Chuan and Li Xuan entered the City of Slaughter together.

As they entered the Killing City, Li Xuan and Bai Chuan saw many corpses on the streets. These corpses were not intact; most were only half-dead, and most had probably been cut in half at the waist.

Moreover, the chest was open, and upon closer inspection, it appeared that the body had been drained of blood before death, and the heart had also been removed.

Even from a distance, Li Xuan could clearly see that these people were all wearing the black uniforms that were exclusive to the staff of the Killing City.

It seems that those who died were all staff members of Killing City, not the "people" who provided Bloody Mary.

Then Li Xuan stepped forward and bent down to carefully examine the injuries on the corpses.

The moment Li Xuan touched the corpses, an extremely domineering and eerie energy tried to enter his body.

"You dare to try and enter my body? You've got some nerve!" Li Xuan snorted, using his mental power and pressure to suppress the energy within his own body. Under Li Xuan's control, no matter how much the energy struggled, it couldn't break free.

Li Xuan pondered for a moment, then condensed a Burning Heart Seal within his body to seal away these special energies. He then removed them from his body, since these things were like time bombs, and no one knew when they might cause trouble.

Just then, when Li Xuan sensed that Bai Chuan was about to touch the corpse, he quickly reached out and grabbed Bai Chuan's wrist.

After seeing Li Xuan touch the corpse and then stop moving, Bai Chuan also wanted to know if there was anything special about the corpse, so he wanted to touch it himself.

“Uncle Bai, from now on, do not touch any corpses or items lightly. It's a bit troublesome for me to clean these things, let alone for you.” Li Xuan sighed and said to Bai Chuan with a helpless expression.

"You actually feel this is difficult to handle? What on earth is this thing?" Shirakawa was also taken aback, not expecting it to be so strange.

"A special kind of energy, it should affect the mind." Li Xuan had never experienced it himself, so he could only speculate based on the aura emanating from this energy.

After listening to Li Xuan's words, Bai Chuan nodded cautiously, thinking that he would not touch it lightly.

Li Xuan then examined the injuries on the corpses. They were mostly cut in half at the waist, and their hearts had been ripped out of their chests through their ribs.

The person who did this is really ruthless.

Next, Li Xuan began to collect each of the corpses here, and soon he condensed dozens of strands of blood-red special energy from these dozens of corpses.

To Li Xuan's surprise, these energies actually contained some power of faith!
Although it's not true divine power, it's beyond what a Limit Douluo could condense.

Judging from the looks of it, Blood God has probably surpassed the Limit Douluo level.

Li Xuan took out a small porcelain bottle, poured the energy into it, and then sealed it with the Burning Heart Seal.

Li Xuan really didn't have any better sealing spells left, otherwise he wouldn't have used the Burning Heart Seal for everything.

However, although the Burning Heart Seal is not a top-tier sealing skill, it excels in its versatility, capable of both offense and defense, and also capable of sealing.

Li Xuan glanced at the corpses, collected all the valuable items from them, and then burned the bodies to ashes.

Bai Chuan didn't say much, just obediently waited for Li Xuan to deal with the corpses, without handling them himself.

Two hours later, Li Xuan had cleaned up all the corpses in the outer city of the Slaughter City. Apart from obtaining two full bottles of blood-red special energy, all that was left were some gold and silver jewelry, nothing special.

The fact that no corpses of evil spirit masters were found here is very strange. It seems that those evil spirit masters were taken away by the Blood God or someone else.

The fact that no medicine figures created by Tang San were found here means that the possibility that Tang San was the one who destroyed the City of Slaughter has greatly decreased.

Li Xuan pondered for a moment, then took out a box and sealed all the items inside. Finally, he used a fire to burn all the corpses here to ashes.

The entire outer city of the Killing Capital has been cleared.

“These people probably didn’t put up a fight for long; they were all killed with a single blow,” Bai Chuan said to Li Xuan, frowning.

Bai Chuan meant that the being inside the City of Slaughter was definitely not weak, and might even be very powerful, and wanted to remind Li Xuan to be careful.

"Don't worry, Uncle Bai, that thing inside should have left by now. Otherwise, it would have reacted by now that we're here," Li Xuan said with a smile to Bai Chuan, who had a serious expression.

"It's always better to be careful," Bai Chuan earnestly advised Li Xuan.

“Understood, Uncle Bai.” Li Xuan nodded and said to Bai Chuan.

Within the City of Slaughter, the range of mental power detection is greatly reduced. Li Xuan's mental power can now only observe the outer perimeter of the City of Slaughter, but it cannot explore the entire underground world.

As for the City of Slaughter, it must have been sealed by special energy, preventing Li Xuan's spiritual power from entering.

Li Xuan originally thought that he had cultivated his mental power to a minor level of mastery, and that he could basically do anything he wanted.

However, this was not the first time Li Xuan's mental strength had been limited.

On Poseidon Island, Li Xuan's spiritual power had no effect on the Poseidon. Last time, in the Primordial Valley, the primordial turbidity suppressed Li Xuan's spiritual power.

Now, in the City of Slaughter, Li Xuan's mental power was suppressed once again, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

"Alright, Uncle Bai, let's check the outer city again carefully to see if there are any clues. If we really can't find any, I'm going to go into the inner city to take a look. I feel that the secret of the Killing City is in the inner city." Li Xuan asked Bai Chuan beside him.

“Alright, young master, I’ll go right away.” Bai Chuan nodded and then turned to investigate the surrounding clues.

Li Xuan and Bai Chuan split up again to ensure they didn't miss any important information.

Next, Li Xuan and Bai Chuan inspected the entire Killing City.

To prevent any ghosts or monsters from possessing his body, Li Xuan dared not release the puppet, since puppets were the easiest objects to be possessed.

After confirming that there were no clues in the outer city, Li Xuan led Bai Chuan to the inner city gate of the Killing Capital.

"Young Master, the inner city gives me a very strange feeling. Isn't it too dangerous? Should we bring a few more people to investigate?" Bai Chuan frowned, his tone full of worry.

Shirakawa was also helpless. The Killing City was too strange now, and he couldn't help in any way, so he felt that it was even more dangerous here.

"Don't worry, Uncle Bai, I won't put myself in danger," Li Xuan said, nodding earnestly to Bai Chuan.

Li Xuan wasn't stupid either; he still had quite a few trump cards up his sleeve, and a mere killing city couldn't possibly keep him here.

Bai Chuan was also helpless; once Li Xuan made up his mind, nothing could change it.

So I had no choice but to agree.

At this time, the inner city gates were tightly closed.

Although there were no gaps in the gate, as they approached it, Li Xuan and Bai Chuan simultaneously smelled the strong stench of blood emanating from the inner city.

The stench of blood could only be detected when approaching the inner city.

"The toxins in the air around here must be a mixture of this bloody smell and the toxins already in the air," Li Xuan muttered, frowning.

"All the secrets are behind the door. I hope it's not too dangerous." Shirakawa nodded, then sighed.

Li Xuan hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and slowly pushed open the door in front of him.

"Crunch... crunch..."

With a series of scraping sounds from the door hinges, as if the door hadn't been opened for decades, Li Xuan felt goosebumps rise on his skin upon hearing it.

As the door opened, a strong stench of blood wafted out.

Li Xuan quickly used the Filthy Flame to refine all the bloody aura into pure soul power.

Shirakawa did not retreat, but he also held his breath and focused his mind to prevent being poisoned.

As the door opened, Li Xuan saw the scene inside.

The once chaotic streets were now completely quiet.

Everywhere there were rotting, decaying corpses, neatly arranged in the streets.

These people were all dressed in black, and they appeared to be staff members of the Killing City.

Moreover, Li Xuan noticed that these corpses were not stiff after death, and the skin outside their clothes looked as if it had been peeled off, appearing bloody and eerily strange.

The words "blood corpse" appeared in Li Xuan's mind.

"They're probably not quite dead yet. Since they're so eager to die, let them die a full death." Li Xuan frowned slightly as he looked at the strange corpses on the ground.

"Snapped!"

With a snap of the fingers.

A strange flame appeared inside the bodies of the corpses lying on the ground and began to burn them.

Before these corpses could even be revived, Li Xuan burned them to ashes with flames.

Li Xuan controlled the flames, burning the corpses clean without damaging any buildings; this was Li Xuan's fire control ability.

Soon, the streets were clean.

As the corpses turned to ashes, wisps of crimson energy were released from them.

The crimson energy contained in these blood corpses is exactly the same as that in the corpses outside, except that the blood corpses do not contain much of it.

Li Xuan snorted, and his mental energy transformed into a fishing net, directly collecting the blood-red energy and putting it into a large bottle.

"Uncle Bai, there might be danger ahead. Put a few detoxifying pills in your mouth just in case." Li Xuan didn't rush into the inner city. Instead, he stood at the city gate and continued to observe the situation, giving Bai Chuan instructions as he did so.

Upon hearing Li Xuan's words, Bai Chuan immediately nodded, then took out several detoxifying pills from his pocket and put them in his mouth.

Seeing that Bai Chuan was ready, Li Xuan immediately stepped into the inner city of the Killing City.

The very next second after Li Xuan took a step.

A vast and powerful aura of evil enveloped Li Xuan.

Moreover, this aura actually tried to enter Li Xuan's body through his limbs and bones, eroding his mind.

Li Xuan didn't care about his own situation. He turned to look at Bai Chuan, who was standing in the inner city with a pale face, lifeless eyes, and trembling body, as if he had entered an illusion.

"If he can pull through, it will be a great blessing for Uncle Bai," Li Xuan muttered, stroking his chin as he looked at Bai Chuan.

Although this evil aura can affect one's mind, as long as one can withstand its attack, not only will one's mental strength be improved, but even one's state of mind will be enhanced.

Li Xuan thought for a moment, then took out a defensive soul tool and covered Bai Chuan with it to protect Bai Chuan's safety.

Li Xuan walked alone toward the hellish killing field.

That was the place where Li Xuan sensed the strongest scent of blood.

Therefore, Bai Chuan probably won't be able to get involved in what Li Xuan is facing next. (End of Chapter)
