Douluo Continent: Long Live the Spirit Hall

Soon, Xue Ke finished communicating with the three of them. After learning about the situation outside, Xue Xing, Xue Qinghe, and Xue Beng reacted differently.

Xue Qinghe looked relieved, Xue Xing's face was pained and heavy, while Xue Beng looked a little excited, especially after hearing that Xue Ke and Yan had already slept together.

"Greetings, Your Highness."

The three bowed to Yan at the same time, but Yan simply waved his hand dismissively, not caring at all.

"You should have all heard about the current situation from Xue Ke. In a few days, His Holiness the Pope will personally come to Tian Dou City to crown Xue Ke. If everything goes smoothly, the situation should stabilize soon."

Yan's gaze swept across the three faces one by one, and he said slowly, "The next period of time is crucial. I hope you will stay here obediently and quietly. When the time is right, you will naturally be given the opportunity to choose."

"Is it better to go out and live a life of leisure and wealth, or to stay here for a few more years until the mainland is unified?"

Xue Beng smiled obsequiously and said, "Your Highness, you know I used to be a spoiled brat with no ambition. I just wanted to get out of here as soon as possible so I could eat, drink, and have fun."

Yan's eyelids twitched slightly, and he said calmly, "Have you thought this through? Going out early will result in the loss of your cultivation, the kind that you'll never be able to regain."

Xue Beng waved his hand dismissively, saying, "It's nothing, it's nothing. My cultivation level isn't that high anyway, so I don't care."

"And you?"

Yan's gaze did not linger on him for long, but instead turned to Xue Qinghe and Xue Xing. The two of them hesitated and did not make a decision immediately.

"Forget it, you guys think about it some more, there's still plenty of time."

Yan's expression seemed to change for a moment, then he said something else. He left the rest of the time with Xue Ke and the others. About an hour later, he and Xue Ke left the prison.

"Avalanche, they haven't given up yet, their decision was too decisive."

Under the warm sunlight, Yan and Xue Ke walked hand in hand when he suddenly uttered these words. Beside him, Xue Ke paused for a moment, then rested her head on his shoulder.

"Once they find out, they won't let the avalanche ruin the Holy Son's plans."

Xue Ke spoke softly, as if it were just a sentence, yet it also seemed like she was making a vow.

Yan reached out and pinched her moist cheek, then chuckled and said, "Get ready, I'll help you open up your meridians tonight so you can become a Soul Master."

"Really."

Xue Ke's face was full of surprise. Although she didn't like fighting, becoming a Soul Master had always been her dream.

Yan turned and kissed her, teasingly saying, "You'll find out tonight, hehe, Your Majesty, you'd better work hard."

"Waaah..."

Xue Ke let out a soft moan. It was clearly not dark yet, but she had already become obsessed with him. She was obviously preparing to give him a sweet appetizer first. But this girl didn't know that after he tasted the sweetness, he would only want more.

……

Inside the newly built imperial palace, Yan lay drenched in sweat on the spacious dragon bed, while nestled in his arms was the newly enthroned Empress.

Xue Ke, dressed in a small outfit, looked even more alluring in her semi-dim state. She wrapped her arms around his strong waist and rubbed against him like a cat. "It's so good that Xue Ke is able to follow the Holy Son."

The girl had just successfully opened her meridians and, with the help of His Highness the Holy Son, had been using her soul power for a long time. She had never been so happy, so naturally she became even more proactive.

Yan didn't know how much sincerity she had, but he didn't care. The more Xue Ke gained right now, the more inseparable she would be from him.

He enjoyed the empress's service, then slapped her on the buttocks with his other hand, saying, "You'll only get better in the future, and there's still a long time to be grateful."

"Ah."

Xue Ke simply lowered her head obediently, without saying much.

"The deaths of those two guys from Xingluo can't be kept secret any longer, and the news from Tiandou City will spread quickly as well."

After a moment of silence, Yan got down to business, “The Spirit Hall will cause trouble for those kingdoms, duchies and Star Luo, keeping them too busy to take care of themselves. You just need to do as I say and stabilize the foundation of the empire.”

Also, I'll be heading north in a while, so you'll be looking after the house in Tiandou City..."

"Ok."

Yan spoke slowly and deliberately, and Xue Ke responded gently like a kitten. It was precisely this adorable appearance that warmed one's heart. After talking for a while, the Holy Son felt a little thirsty and lowered his head to quench his thirst, but the two of them ended up entwined in a passionate embrace.

Chapter 420 The God of Slaughter Appears

The City of Slaughter is an underground city located north of Tiandou City. It is the inherited divine land of the Asura God, one of the five great giants of the God Realm.

The Asura God is the god of slaughter in the divine realm, in charge of killing, judgment, and laws. Although not born in Douluo Continent, he left his divine legacy in this plane for certain special purposes.

At this moment, outside the entrance to the City of Slaughter, at the foot of a not-too-high hill, four figures appeared in this region that faintly smelled of blood.

"At this time of year, the blood energy in the City of Slaughter is at its peak, and the King of Slaughter is most likely to open the Hell Road at this time."

Among the four figures, the woman with an elegant and noble air was gazing at the high mountain, recalling past events. She was Bibi Dong, the current Pope of the Spirit Hall. She had once fallen into madness, and now she only had a few things to hold onto.

Bibi Dong gazed at the low mountain in front of her. Back then, she had entered this place alone when no one believed in her, just to escape the control of her teacher.

Life in the Killing City was incredibly dark and bloody, but for her, it was a rare period of ease.

Because in that perilous place, she didn't need to worry too much, didn't need to think about Qianxun, Jiyu, or Xiaogang; she only needed one belief: to survive.

Although this place of Asura God's inheritance is incredibly difficult and dark, the benefits of escaping it are immense. The Killing God Domain, a top-tier domain ability in the Douluo Continent, can be obtained by anyone who leaves the City of Slaughter.

Before Bibi Dong, the only powerful figures who had emerged from the City of Slaughter were the two generations of Clear Sky Douluo from the Clear Sky Sect. Tang Hao and Tang Chen were the two most outstanding powerhouses in a thousand years, suppressing the Angel Clan of the Spirit Hall, each representing two eras.

Bibi Dong was the third, and before that, the only killing god outside of the Haotian Sect.

Her two martial souls were not entirely compatible with the domain of killing, but she still managed to escape this dark place on her own. She not only obtained the God of Slaughter Domain, but also successfully gained the favor of the Rakshasa God, and truly had the possibility of revenge.

Bibi Dong's revenge story is quite legendary, but after a certain person appeared, it completely changed the fate of many people. For example, now there are many more people coming to welcome Hu Liena, and the person waiting for another has also changed.

"The gift you prepared for Nana doesn't seem to be anything special. Does she really have a soul bone?"

Beside Bibi Dong, Yan held a well-behaved demon fox beast in his arms. As someone gently scratched its neck, the little fox obediently rolled over and exposed its belly, seemingly waiting for him to do as he pleased. The Pope couldn't resist reaching out to touch the docile little fox.

The little fox was quite resistant to His Holiness the Pope's good intentions. She stretched out her little paws and let out two soft "ah ah" sounds, then tugged at Yan's hand and slid down onto her belly.

"What's going on with your technique? Why are there always spirit beasts willing to let you touch them?"

Bibi Dong's temper was much better than before. She wasn't annoyed by the little fox's rejection, but she was a little puzzled as to what kind of skill Yan had.

This wasn't the first time she'd seen Yan be so affectionate with spirit beasts. From the little rabbit Three-Eyed Golden Lion in the distance, to the little shark Bai Xiuxiu later, and now this little fox, it was as if his hands possessed magic, making these little beasts very obedient.

"Yes, teacher, you should understand."

Yan raised an eyebrow and wiggled his fingers, subtly conveying a message to His Holiness the Pope. It was just that the timing wasn't right, and Elders Gui Mei and Yue Guan were following behind him. Otherwise, Yan could really let his teacher experience firsthand what Kato... cough cough, the eighteen ways to pet a cat is like.

"You little rascal."

Bibi Dong was no stranger to this little thief. Seeing his shifty eyes, she subconsciously recalled the absurd incident she had committed a couple of days ago while traveling. Her face immediately became much more radiant, as tempting as a ripe peach.

However, the two elders following behind were indeed a minor problem, but they kept their eyes fixed straight ahead, and Yan and Bibi Dong concealed their true intentions well, so nothing was revealed.

"This 70,000-year-old three-eyed demon fox, although its cultivation is higher than Nana's, has accumulated enough strength through years of training in this killing city."

Yan gently stroked the three-eyed demon fox with one hand, while keeping his eyes fixed on the exit of the City of Slaughter. "I have basically perfected this Soul Spirit Technique. As long as Nana successfully contracts with this three-eyed demon fox, her cultivation path will be even smoother."

Furthermore, she could accumulate even more resources, allowing her to try her hand at crafting her last two spirit rings from 100,000-year-old spirit beasts. Perhaps even after breaking through to the Title Douluo level, her Demon Fox spirit might surpass 100,000 years, granting her multiple 100,000-year spirit rings, thus laying the foundation for godhood.

To have multiple 100,000-year spirit rings on your first spirit is quite an achievement, even excluding you.

Bibi Dong nodded slightly after hearing Yan's words. In this era of Douluo Continent, 100,000-year-old soul beasts are rare, and there are not many soul masters who have the ability to absorb 100,000-year-old soul rings.

There are nearly thirty Title Douluos in the Spirit Hall, but only three of them possess a 100,000-year spirit ring. Apart from Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu, who were favored by the gods due to their good fortune, only Golden Crocodile Douluo obtained his 100,000-year spirit ring on his own.

The other titled Douluo are not that they don't covet 100,000-year spirit rings, but they can't obtain them for various reasons. Either their foundation is not strong enough to refine them, or they are unlucky enough to encounter 100,000-year spirit beasts. Among these, the former is more common.

In this era of Douluo Continent, the Soul Master system was still a bit too crude, but this also gave Yan an opportunity to gain recognition more easily and even take power.

Just as Yan and Bibi Dong were whispering to each other, the low hill beneath their feet suddenly seemed to move slightly. The movement was extremely small, but both Bibi Dong and Yan felt it was quite astonishing.

"Nana succeeded in this direction."

A hint of joy flashed across Bibi Dong's face. Then she grabbed Yan's hand and ran forward. Gui Mei and Yue Guan quickly followed.

They hadn't gone far when they arrived at a location on a low hill that was filled with strange fluctuations. Blood light soared into the sky ahead, and killing intent boiled. The intense energy fluctuations made it impossible for Yan and Bibi Dong to see the situation on the roadside.

"The God of Slaughter has been born. This is an unusual phenomenon indicating the birth of the God of Slaughter, and there is more than one. Nana is among them."

As the contemporary killing goddess, Bibi Dong knew the situation ahead better than anyone else. It was because of her guidance that Yan, Yue Guan, and Gui Mei were able to reach this location. Otherwise, they would have had to wait obediently at the foot of the mountain.

"Oh, two people? Then the other one must be him. Don't let me down."

When Yan heard Bibi Dong say that there were two people inside, one of whom was Hu Liena, he already had a plan in mind. His eyes sharpened as he stared at the source of the endless blood light, which was located in the core of the Slaughter City below.

"Teacher, can you sense any changes in the City of Slaughter?"

Yan showed considerable respect for Bibi Dong in public. Although the question he asked was a bit strange, it was still serious. As for when the jockey would be invited, that depended on His Highness the Holy Son's mood and His Holiness the Pope's cooperation. In any case, it was foreseeable that there would be an event tonight.

The little fox saintess has emerged from the City of Slaughter, which is a momentous occasion worthy of celebration, and the holy son naturally has to do his utmost.

As his cultivation level increased, the little fox's martial soul, under his guidance, began to evolve into a nine-tailed fox. It grew longer and whiter tails, and Yan was able to enjoy the life of a king who neglected his duties.

Now, even while covering the three-eyed fox demon, one can still feel the allure of the fox spirit. Her childlike whining and coquettishness are enough to make anyone swoon.

As Yan was lost in thought, the regional anomalies of energy fluctuations became even more pronounced.

The crimson light was suddenly replaced by a white light curtain, which was not a pure white like snowflakes, but a white nothingness that was hard to describe.

A chilling killing intent converged from all directions, as if countless icy energies were gathering towards the front, and countless icy auras were released from the two hazy figures.

The two hazy figures ahead only revealed a trace of their aura, and Yan, Guimei, and Yueguan instinctively moved slightly. It was an instinctive feeling of danger, as if a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood had appeared ahead.

The situation inside the City of Slaughter is special. Those who can enter are all evil soul masters and powerful individuals. Due to the special rules of the inner city arena, those who can participate in the battle are probably at least at the Soul Master level, and most of them are proficient in killing techniques.

The killing gods who emerged from the City of Slaughter had killed at least a thousand Soul Masters. Killing so many Soul Masters with considerable cultivation levels allowed them to accumulate killing intent far more effectively than killing ordinary people, thus earning them the reputation of having slaughtered countless people.

As the white light enveloped the two figures before them, a chilling aura enveloped them. The coldness didn't come from a real temperature change, but from the chill brought by the killing intent.

The purest killing intent rapidly converged. Every time a God of Slaughter was born in the City of Slaughter, it meant the death of countless evil people. The killing intent accumulated from the deaths of such high-quality beings was the key for the God of Slaughter who walked out of the Hell Road to obtain his domain.

As the dense, murderous white light gradually condenses, it signifies that the God of Slaughter's domain is beginning to stabilize, and it also represents the complete birth of a new God of Slaughter.

Yan, Bibi Dong, Gui Mei, and Yue Guan watched the entire process, seeing the two figures before them go from blurry to clear, and finally appear in their sight.

Chapter 421 Rain of Pear Blossom Needles

"Buzz..."

Above the low hill at the exit of the City of Slaughter, accompanied by wisps of killing intent condensing, the killing intent that was originally filled with the aura of death was replaced by two different life energies. One of the life energies was particularly powerful, causing countless blue silver grasses to sprout wherever it passed.

The scene before Yan, Bibi Dong, and the other two changed dramatically. The familiar little fox appeared, along with a strange man who seemed somewhat familiar.

The man held a Haotian Hammer in one hand. At this moment, the top of the Haotian Hammer was flashing with a strange light. Although it was smaller than an ordinary Haotian Hammer, it had an extra white pattern.
