Douluo Continent: I came from Demon Slayer!

Lin Yang first rested and recuperated in the city of Peraj, and also bought a carriage and replenished supplies.

The next day, at the first light of dawn.

The mist had not yet dissipated, and dewdrops from the previous night still clung to the grass blades along the roadside, but the city was already beginning to come alive.

After feeding the horses, Lin Yang prepared to set off for the Disaster Mountain Range.

"This time it's just you and me."

Sitting in the carriage, Lin Yang murmured to himself.

The leaves of the Blue Silver Emperor quietly peeked out from his collar and brushed against his cheek as if caressing him.

Lin Yang scratched the leaf: "It's a little itchy..."

The man and the grass chatted idly as they drove their carriage toward the Disaster Mountain Range.

The Cataclysm Mountains are located to the east of the Kingdom of Pelagi, bordering the Principality of Nanau.

Lin Yang had seen in the Soul Beast Compendium that Su Hong gave him that there was a unique Soul Beast in the Disaster Mountain Range called Gengjin Sword Bamboo.

Although it is a plant-type soul beast, it is more metal-based.

Gengjin sword bamboo only grows on Gengjin mineral veins.

By absorbing the energy of Geng metal, one can strengthen their body to be as hard as steel, and even unleash sword energy attacks that can pierce through metal and split rocks.

If Lin Yang can use the Gengjin Sword Bamboo as his second soul ring, he will most likely obtain a soul ring with penetrating attributes, which can further enhance the sharpness of the Sun Wheel Blade martial soul.

It is not impossible to reach the ultimate level in the future.

That's why Lin Yang went to great lengths to come to the Disaster Mountain Range, just to find a suitable Gengjin Sword Bamboo.

The seven-day journey was tedious and boring, but the trip was smooth and uneventful.

Just when Lin Yang thought nothing would happen, another caravan came towards them.

Following the wind, Lin Yang easily detected a faint smell of blood in the air.

In the middle of the caravan, several wagons were covered with black cloth, giving them a cage-like appearance.

The smell of blood was coming from under the black cloth.

Lin Yang frowned. This caravan was likely a slave-hunting team disguised as a merchant caravan.

The slave-catching teams were notorious.

Along with the Fallen Soul Masters and the Gale Wolf Bandits, they are known as the three most evil gangs on the Douluo Continent.

On the surface, both empires were doing their utmost to suppress the slave-catching teams.

However, this kind of shady business has only disappeared from the open and moved to the shadows; it has never been truly eradicated.

After all, only noble lords like to collect all kinds of maids and are willing to spend a fortune on it.

Where there is demand, there is trade; where there is trade, evil will arise.

Lin Yang did not choose to make a move.

This is not just a problem with one slave-hunting team, but a disease affecting the entire continent.

However, just as the tree may wish to remain still, the wind will not cease. The more Lin Yang tried to avoid trouble, the more trouble seemed to find him.

Just as the caravan was about to pass his carriage, a high-pitched, neither-male-nor-female voice came from the most luxurious carriage in the caravan.

"etc."

The guards of this slave-catching team were well-trained; upon hearing the sound, they immediately stopped and fell silent.

Lin Yang frowned, a bad feeling inexplicably welling up in his heart.

The curtains of the luxurious carriage were slightly lifted, revealing a crack, and the same voice rang out again.

"Young man, when you're traveling, it's fate that you meet someone. Why don't I give you a ride so we can look after each other?"

The shrill voice was neither male nor female, but it sent a chill down Lin Yang's spine, and he immediately shook his head.

"Thank you for your kind offer, but we're not going that way, so goodbye!"

After saying that, Lin Yang prepared to drive the carriage away.

At the same time, in the cage covered by a black cloth behind the carriage, a pair of bright eyes suddenly opened, a hint of suspicion flashing across their faces.

Just as Lin Yang was about to start moving, a long spear made of fine steel was already placed in front of him, blocking his way.

Lin Yang's face darkened, and he turned to look at the owner of the spear.

He was a fair-skinned young man with strong features, who looked to be in his twenties.

Although young, the fact that he was always by the side of a luxurious carriage clearly indicated that he held a high position.

"What do you mean by that?" Lin Yang asked coldly.

The young guard was expressionless, his tone cold and hard.

"I advise you to behave and listen to me, or you'll live..."

Lin Yang was so angry he laughed: "What if I don't listen?"

"You have no choice but to listen. Being favored by my master is a blessing you've earned in ten lifetimes."

The guard's expression and tone were as cold as a rock, clearly brooking no argument.

"I can't accept such good fortune, get out of my way!"

Lin Yang let out a low shout, and an invisible aura instantly pressed down.

Swish!

The other guards stood in perfect unison, their weapons all pointed at Lin Yang.

Long spears stood in rows, and a chilling aura instantly filled the entire arena.

The young guard looked at Lin Yang, a fleeting glint of pity flashing in his eyes, but it vanished just as quickly.

"As I said before, listening to the advice of benefactors can ensure survival..."

"Hmph, then let's give it a try."

A cold glint flashed in Lin Yang's eyes as he stared directly at the young guard without flinching.

Although he didn't know who was sitting in the carriage, he figured that someone who was involved in slave-catching was probably not a respectable person.

And this inexplicable invitation clearly has ulterior motives.

The young guard took a step back and looked towards the carriage.

After a while, a soft sigh was heard from inside the carriage.

"Go easy on him, don't smudge his face. Just teach him a lesson, I still need him tonight."

"Yes, Master!"

At this moment, Lin Yang, who had already thought of something, got goosebumps all over his body.

No wonder the vast majority of the guards were fair-skinned, cold-faced, and extremely handsome men.

It turns out that the person sitting inside the carriage was such a filthy creature.

Especially since this filthy thing has its eyes on me.

In an instant, the killing intent in Lin Yang's heart reached its peak!

Swish!

The young guard's spear jerked violently, thrusting straight forward with a sharp gust of wind.

He moved with lightning speed, the tip of his spear flashing coldly, aimed directly at Lin Yang's shoulder blade, clearly intending to capture him directly.

Lin Yang snorted coldly and instantly grabbed the spear in his hand.

The guard was startled at first, and his arms tensed as he tried to draw his spear, but he found that Lin Yang's hand was like an iron clamp, and he did not move an inch.

Now his body is that of a ghost god, and with the added enhancement of his 100,000-year-old soul bone, his physique has long surpassed that of ordinary people.

With a little force, the steel spear was twisted into a pretzel shape, just like dough.

The young guard was startled and quickly abandoned his spear, taking two steps back.

"A Soul Master?"

Inside the luxurious carriage, the androgynous voice let out a soft "Eh," and the curtains were pulled back slightly, revealing only a finger adorned with a jade thumb ring.

"No wonder you're so confident, young man... I'm growing to like you more and more."

Upon hearing this, the young guard felt a chill run down his spine, as if he had imagined something terrible, and he no longer held back.

With a flash of light, a bronze shield appeared in his hand.

The shield's surface was covered with thorn-like patterns, and its edges gleamed with a cold, hard metallic luster. Three spirit rings appeared one after another at his feet.

One white, one yellow, and one purple.

A surge of powerful soul energy rushed in.

This guard was actually a three-ring Soul Master.
