Douluo Continent: The Phoenix God Returns

Chapter 35 Slaughter City

After arranging the tasks for his avatars, Ye Li left the Soto Grand Arena and went to the hotel in Soto City to find Bi Ji.

"Little Phoenix, what should we do next?" Brigitte asked, looking at Ye Li, who had switched back to her female form.

"Let's return to Tiandou City and begin the next phase of the recruitment plan. My avatar is overseeing Shrek Academy, so I'm confident there won't be any problems," Ye Li said.

At the same time, Ye Li was also eyeing the Blue Silver Emperor. Putting aside everything else, the Blue Silver Emperor was, after all, a soul beast. Since there was hope of resurrection, then let it be revived. Whether Tang San cared about this or not, having more combat power was always a good thing.

With Bi Ji's help, the two quickly returned to Heaven Dou City and the Spirit Hall. Salas was not in the Spirit Hall, so he must have already broken through to the Title Douluo level and gone to the Spirit Hall. Ye Li used the Spirit Hall's code to summon Qian Renxue's guard, She Long, from the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!" She Long said respectfully.

"Uncle Yu Long, please give this letter to Qian Renxue and tell her that if anyone recommends someone to her in the future, she should ignore them." Ye Li handed the envelope to Yu Long.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Yu Long accepted the letter, bowed respectfully, and then disappeared from the Martial Soul Branch Hall.

The main reason Ye Li wrote to Qian Renxue was for the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace's treasure, the Vast Ocean Universe Cover. Ye Li himself held a divine position, but his avatar did not. The position of the Sea God was a good choice.

Asura God had considered plotting, but the risks were too great and it was easy to fail. The five great god kings of the god realm were very familiar with the auras of the Phoenix God and the Dragon God. The Sea God was relatively safer, and his potential was not weak. However, Ye Li had to go to the City of Slaughter. He could not obtain a godhood, but he could obtain a domain. The prerequisite for the activation of the Azure Jade Phoenix Martial Soul's innate domain was that the host must have a domain talent domain before it could be awakened.

The next day, Ye Li finally made up her mind and said to Bi Ji, "Sister Bi Ji, I want to go to the City of Slaughter."

"No way." Brigitte rejected the idea without even thinking. She could agree with Ye Li on other things, but she knew what kind of place the Killing City was. Once inside, there was no guarantee of life.

"Little Phoenix, you should know what kind of place that is. Once you go in, even the Lord can't interfere with things there. You'll have to rely on yourself for everything, and your life won't be guaranteed at all."

"That's why I'm going. Only by training in dire circumstances can I advance further. I'm already level 54. Without a platform for soul power, no one can rival my physical strength. Only there can I experience the best training," Ye Li said confidently.

Brigitte hesitated for a moment, her voice becoming extremely worried, "Little Phoenix, are you really sure?"

"Mm." Ye Li nodded.

"You must come out alive. My Lord and I will be waiting for you."

"I am the child of the Phoenix God, that place can't stop me, besides, I still have many things to finish." Ye Li took a deep breath and said.

"Alright, get ready and you can leave now," Brigitte said. However, she couldn't go with Ye Li this time. This was Ye Li's business alone, and she couldn't help him at all.

…………

In the sky, Ye Li used the Phoenix Wings, an external soul bone, to travel. "Soul skills cannot be used in the Slaughter City, which is a good training ground. I will kill until no one dares to claim supremacy."

After several days of flying, Ye Li arrived at a small town. The town wasn't large, but as soon as he stepped inside, Ye Li sensed a strange atmosphere. Everyone seemed to exude a special chill, an aura of killing. Apart from Ye Li, everyone in this town was a desperate criminal. Ye Li's appearance made everyone restless. Although Ye Li was wearing a mask and had put on tight-fitting clothes before coming, their eyes were filled with greed.

After walking for about ten minutes, Ye Li arrived at a tavern in the town. The air inside the tavern was very murky. All the decorations were blood red, and although it was daytime outside, the entire tavern presented an eerie blood red atmosphere.

A waiter dressed in black with an indifferent expression approached. "What would you like to order?"

Ye Li coldly said, "Get out of my way." Before he finished speaking, Ye Li released his Azure Jade Phoenix Martial Soul, and five black ten-thousand-year soul rings appeared.

Those patrons, with broadswords at their waists and fierce faces, who had been looking at Ye Li with a mocking expression, were instantly burned to ashes by the Azure Jade True Fire. The deaths of dozens of people in the tavern did not alarm the waiter. He remained calm, as if he had long been accustomed to the scene before him. Just as he was about to say something, Ye Li kicked him away.

Ye Li arrived at the entrance of the City of Slaughter and stomped on the ground. The ground shattered into pieces, and with a loud bang, a huge black hole appeared in the ground, from which a biting cold wind howled out.

Ye Li jumped directly into the dark cave entrance, his whole body enveloped in darkness. After falling only a few meters, he felt his feet were already on solid ground. He didn't need any light. Ye Li's Eye of Insight allowed him to see everything in front of him clearly in the dark. It was a long tunnel that extended downwards at an angle, and a cold aura kept blowing against his body.

"Let me see the terror of the Killing City," Ye Li said with a wicked smile.

"Welcome to the City of Slaughter. This is the capital of hell, a world filled with carnage. Here, you can obtain anything you desire, at the cost of your lives."

Ye Li turned a corner, and a faint light appeared ahead—an open door. He strode forward, hearing a commotion. When he emerged from the passageway, one hundred and one people stood before him.

"You have broken the rules." The deep voice sounded extremely cold, and it was the black-armored knight who spoke, sitting upright on his horse.

"Since when has the City of Slaughter ever had rules? I am the rule." Ye Li said coldly.

The black-armored knight's voice remained icy, devoid of any human warmth, "Then you must accept your punishment. Defeat me, and you will gain the right to enter the City of Slaughter."

"I am the Dread Knight Scott." The warhorse suddenly accelerated, and the black-armored knight charged straight at Ye Li with a chilling aura. A cold aura permeated the air, and a fierce killing intent rushed towards him head-on.

Ye Li smiled slightly, and the phoenix feather fan quietly appeared in her hand. She raised it to her chest, aimed the fan at Scott, and suddenly swung it. An extreme heat surged towards the opponent, and the warhorse and the so-called terrifying knight were directly swept away by this heat.

Ye Li looked at him coldly and said, "Are you still going to make a move?"

"No need, you've already passed my test. You're qualified to enter the City of Slaughter," the Dread Knight said with some difficulty.

A black plaque was handed to Ye Li, who casually took it. The plaque was engraved with a skull and a number: 9000.

"This is your proof of identity in the Killing City. Please enter the city; someone will guide you at the city gate," said Dread Knight Scott with some humility.

The pitch-black city gate gave people an extremely oppressive feeling. Above the huge city gate, four large characters were hung: "City of Slaughter"!
