Chapter 161 The Problem of the Killing City, Preparing to Fleece Money

Perhaps because it had been purified by the patterns on the ground, and further filtered by the consciousness of the plane, Han Li was able to perceive that this energy was exceptionally pure.

He tried to absorb a wisp of energy and send it into his body, and immediately felt a refreshing sensation from his soul.

This captivated him, and before he knew it, he had lowered his guard, absorbing all the energy surging towards him.

Only after all the energy within him was completely exhausted did Han Li emerge from this state, which also made him shiver involuntarily.

This feeling is so irresistible; no wonder the King of Slaughter has such a tight grip on the people here with just Bloody Mary.

Han Li let out a soft breath and walked off the field. He would have to study this carefully later.

As he walked toward the stands, the people around him moved aside to make way for him.

Han Li ignored these people and calmly walked back to his original position. He was quite satisfied. It seemed that establishing his authority earlier had been effective and could save him a lot of trouble in the early stages.

"Should we continue observing, or go out first?"

When Dugu Bo saw him return, he casually asked a question.

"Get out of here and find a stable place to stay. It'll only get more chaotic at night."

Han Li glanced at the woman in black veil and made a decision immediately.

"Please follow me. However, you are no longer within the newbie protection period. After we leave, you can only stay five meters away from me. Please understand."

The woman in black veil calmly offered a reminder.

"Yes, I will follow the rules."

Han Li nodded without saying anything; it's always best to follow some rules.

After all, when you're under someone else's roof, you have to bow your head. Even though he has the Spirit Hall as his backer, he doesn't want to directly confront the King of Slaughter right now.

Moreover, it is foreseeable that for a long time to come, he will be someone else's underling, contributing to the construction of the Killing City. It wouldn't be good if things got too tense.

The group of people walked out of the hellish killing field under the watchful eyes of the crowd.

The group was in front, with Han Li behind them, at a distance. However, the gazes that had been spying on him earlier had temporarily disappeared.

The law of the jungle, where the strong prey on the weak, is best exemplified in the City of Slaughter, which is why Han Li deliberately acted so vengeful before.

Here, you can only gain a foothold and avoid being completely devoured if you are stronger and more ruthless than others.

While the woman in black veil was explaining the layout of the inner city to the others, Han Li once again set his sights on a fallen soul master who had appeared in the data before. He amiably borrowed a few Bloody Marys from him, but instead of killing him directly, he randomly found a house and threw him inside.

Han Li had already learned from the conversations of the people around the stands that the Killing City did not currently have a rule that participants had to have at least five wins to qualify. At present, as long as there were ten participants, the competition could begin.

Fortunately, otherwise, let alone the others, Han Li alone would probably have been able to kill more than anyone else in the Douluo Continent, let alone the Soul Masters in the inner city.

Perhaps, before Tang San arrived in the original story, a ruthless person had also emerged here? Perhaps that caused the King of Slaughter some financial pain, leading him to rewrite this seemingly impossible rule?

It's just that Tang San and Hu Liena were both sent in by previous generations of killing gods, and they both had powerful backgrounds, which enabled them to accomplish this.

That was all there was to it. Han Li shook his head, banishing these absurd thoughts from his mind.

Who cares? Everyone has connections anyway.

Following behind the group, Han Li and his companions gradually moved away from the hellish killing field and entered a relatively tidy "residential area".

It's not really a residential area, but the buildings here are much cleaner and tidier compared to other parts of the inner city.

Yes, the smell of blood has also faded a lot.

"We will send people to clean this large area regularly."

The woman in black veil was quite adept at reading people's expressions, and upon seeing their reactions, she took the initiative to explain.

"Of course, it's not absolutely safe here, but everyone has tacitly agreed to make their moves more discreet and rarely damage the houses here."

"The main security still depends on our own strength."

The woman in the black veil added another comment.

"Can you recommend a direction?"

Han Li spoke up without hesitation, believing that as the maid of the King of Slaughter, she wouldn't be a fool.

"In the northeast, the supplies for daily life are relatively complete, the houses are also good, and most importantly, there is no possibility of a violent conflict breaking out in the near future."

The woman in black veil gave him a deep look and pointed northeast.

"Okay, then we'll choose that location. Is there anything else you'd like to say?"

Han Li immediately made the decision and then looked at the woman in black veil.

"That's all. You can do whatever you want with the rest, but Bloody Mary must be paid on time."

The woman in the black veil spoke quickly.

"Okay, you can leave now."

Han Li nodded and immediately dismissed the guest, even though it seemed that he was the guest.

"I hope there will be another day when I can meet my distinguished guests."

The woman in black veil bowed and then walked out of the area without looking back.

Only after her figure disappeared from sight did Han Li turn to the other four and smile: "Alright, let's find a temporary place to stay first."

Choosing a temporary residence didn't take too long; under the mental scan of Han Li and Dugu Bo, they quickly selected a large mansion.

After they scared away the original owner by making a move, the mansion would belong to them from then on.

The house was very clean, and it was clear that the original owner had cleaned it carefully. Moreover, because of their sale, a lot of supplies were left behind.

After thinking for a moment, Han Li picked up the supplies, packed them up, and threw them out the door.

He stood outside for a while, making sure those who noticed the commotion remembered his appearance, before leisurely returning to the courtyard.

The group was already discussing room allocation. There were only three relatively large rooms in the courtyard, which were arranged side by side.

Finally, it was decided that the three women would live together in the largest room in the middle, while Han Li and Dugu Bo would live on either side of them, so that they could better deal with emergencies.

As for food, there's no need to worry at all. They purchased a large amount of food before they came in, enough to feed the five of them for three years, unless they were extravagant enough to hold banquets every day.

"For the next few days, the three of you should refrain from taking action. Grandpa and I will take turns trying out the moves first. Once I've made the arrangements, you can then go on stage."

Having resolved their accommodation and food issues, the group began discussing their upcoming lives. Han Li pondered for a moment before looking at the three of them.

"Okay, whatever you say, we'll get used to it here first."

Shui Bing'er spoke first. To be precise, she was the one who needed the most psychological adjustment among the three. It could be said that among everyone present, her moral values ​​were the most upright.

Xiuer had long been prepared to go on a killing spree. In addition, she had lived with Han Li since she was a child and cared only about him. Her style of doing things was directly similar to Han Li's.

Influenced by Dugu Bo, and having spent some time at the "Tian Dou Hua Hua Noble Academy," Dugu Yan had seen a lot of things and was able to accept them quickly.

Only Shui Bing'er, who had only come into contact with the others after her basic beliefs had taken shape, and who had previously lived in an orderly world, was still greatly impacted by everything that happened today, even though Han Li had lowered her bottom line in advance.

"Yes, feel free to contact me anytime if you need anything."

Han Li softened his voice and looked at her with a gentle gaze.

"Don't worry, now that I've chosen to come, I won't hold anyone back."

Shui Bing'er looked at the group seriously, expressing her wishes.

"No rush, take your time."

Dugu Yan hugged her, laughing and comforting Shui Bing'er in her own unique way.

"Do we really want to drink that Bloody Mary?"

Dugu Bo, standing to the side, frowned and asked a question. Although he had an eccentric personality and was ruthless in killing, he was still quite opposed to this kind of thing.

He is a human being, not a beast.

"No need, leave it to me. It might take a few days, and I can't accept something like this."

Han Li shook his head decisively; he couldn't accept it either.

"For the next few days, please try to purify the area for everyone once a day. I'll study it first, and then I'll take over later."

Han Li turned his gaze to Dugu Bo, pondered for a moment, and then spoke.

"it is good."

Dugu Bo paused for a moment, then carefully examined the three girls and noticed something unusual.

"Although it's still very weak for now, can just staying here really affect us? No wonder the people outside are so crazy. If this goes on for too long, even normal people will probably completely lose their minds."

As he spoke, Dugu Bo directly activated his soul power to purify the three of them.

"Well, it's alright outside, but the Hell Slaughter Arena is the biggest source of pollution. Even if you're just watching, you'll inevitably get contaminated."

Han Li's right eye also flashed red as he carefully observed the strange aura emanating from the three individuals.

"However, this might be a good way to improve combat strength, but we can't completely expel them, otherwise we'll have problems even if we leave."

Han Li put away the external soul bone, his eyes shining brightly; this was one of the reasons he came here.

Slightly tainted with the murderous aura of divine power, this item is a limited edition. Once it's gone, it's gone forever, so of course we should grab as many as possible.

Since there is a plane of consciousness and the power of faith, as long as it is not a direct Asura descending, this thing cannot escape his grasp.

Even if Shura was very unhappy, he could only grit his teeth and accept it, especially if he didn't break the rules.

"You decide. I'll just provide support and protection."

Dugu Bo withdrew his soul power and replied indifferently.

He didn't think he was as smart as Han Li. With an external brain, he could just be a henchman and he wouldn't miss out on any of the benefits anyway.
