Soul Town: Claiming the throne? You've asked my Tian Ce Army, haven't you?

Li Moxuan recalled the Cloud-Shattering City-Breaking Halberd. He knew that Ma Linghai was trying to provoke him, but he just couldn't help himself...

However, this also means that Fan Tianyin should be alright for the time being, otherwise why would Ma Linghai have gone to all this trouble?

He was stalling for time for the person he was talking about...

Li Moxuan took a deep breath and asked Jin Lingzi, who had her eyes closed, "Jin Lingzi, have you found her?"

"Um……"

Jin Lingzi opened her eyes and pointed outside the door, "There's a disgusting aura in the ground in that direction, just like the one emanating from him..."

Ma Linghai's expression changed slightly, and Li Moxuan noticed this. It seemed that he had chosen the right direction...

"Can you open a spatial portal?"

"I'll give it a try..."

Jin Lingzi casually slapped her hand, and the space behind her instantly shattered, revealing a spatial passage. She sensed it, "It's down below..."

Damn, he's cheating, with X-ray vision and teleportation!

Ma Linghai cursed under his breath, "Ma Shumou, stop them!"

If I ruin that person's plans, I'll die a horrible death...

Ma Shumou had just stepped forward when Li Siye slashed him back, yelling, "You actually eat people, you beast!"

Having snapped out of his daze at Li Moxuan's cheat code, Li Yijun stepped forward. "Brother, why don't you and this cheat code... cough cough, young lady, go and rescue people together!"

His eyes flashed with lightning, and the horizontal sword in his hand also crackled with lightning. "That bastard, I'll kill him!"

"Thank you for your trouble..."

Li Moxuan jumped into the spatial passage with Jin Lingzi, landing on a street in Dajiang Street. The surrounding pedestrians were a little confused as they watched the two fall from the sky...

"It's right down here..."

Li Moxuan looked in the direction Jin Lingzi pointed, and standing in front of them was the brothel he had passed by earlier...

Chapter 137: The Ghost King

"Cough cough..."

Inside the dimly lit underground palace, Fan Tianyin coughed up blood and struggled to open her eyes.

Her hands were handcuffed to the stone pillar behind her by the Soul-Locking Stone, and her feet were also shackled with heavy leg irons. Her body was covered with bruises and wounds, and her clothes were stained red with blood.

These injuries are manageable, but the most serious problem is the black dagger stuck in her thigh. Because her spiritual power is locked, she can't stop the bleeding and has already lost a lot of blood.

It's fortunate that the dagger wasn't pulled out, otherwise she might already be dead from blood loss...

"They're still alive? Their willpower is truly strong..."

As the sound faded, the surrounding wall lamps suddenly lit up, and a figure emerged from the darkness, walking to the dining table not far from Fan Tianyin.

Fan Tianyin struggled to lift her head and finally saw his appearance clearly. He had long, fiery red hair and a pair of dark red demon horns on his head.

His face was handsome yet eerie, with a pair of golden vertical pupils. He wore a Japanese-style demon armor in dark purple and black, with a vermilion wine gourd hanging at his waist, and a faint purplish-red demonic aura surrounding him.

"Who are you... cough cough...?"

Fan Tianyin struggled to stay conscious; she remembered that it was this person in front of her who had ambushed her…

"You can call me Shuten-dōji, but I prefer to be called the Demon King..."

Shuten-dōji had a wicked smile on his lips as he looked at Fan Tianyin as if she were a delicious meal.

"It's truly rare to see a girl so young possessing such immense power. I can't even remember the last time I ate one..."

"Most importantly..."

Shuten-dōji took a deep breath, his face full of ecstasy, "She's still a virgin, she's practically a top-quality, uncontaminated ingredient!"

He eats people?

Fan Tianyin's heart tightened, and she then noticed that there were many human heads and skeletons under the dining table...

Shuten-dōji wiped the tableware in his hands. "Originally, for a top-quality ingredient like you, I should have washed you clean and cooked you properly..."

"But there's a guy up there who seems to be looking for you. I can't figure him out, and he looks like he'll be difficult to deal with..."

Is someone looking for me? Is it Li Moxuan?

A glimmer of hope ignited in Fan Tianyin's heart. Binded by the Spirit-Locking Stone and severely injured, she had no chance of escaping on her own...

"If he really finds this place, it will probably be a long time before we encounter a top-tier ingredient like you again, so..."

Shuten-dōji took out his sake gourd, took a sip, stopped what he was doing, stared intently at Fan Tianyin, a smile playing on his lips, "I'd rather just eat you alive like this..."

After he finished speaking, cracks appeared on his face, his body began to grow rapidly, his demon horns became rugged, his face became more ferocious, and demonic patterns covered his entire body.

Shuten-dōji was surrounded by a solidified purple demonic aura, his skin turned dark red, his fingernails transformed into sharp claws, and scorching demonic fire and wine mist spewed from the mouth of his sake gourd.

He picked up the gourd and took a big gulp of wine, then opened his blood-red mouth, revealing jagged, sharp teeth, and pounced on Fan Tianyin.

Fan Tianyin slowly closed her eyes, and the words Li Moxuan had said to her before leaving Death Soul Island flashed through her mind.

"Ahem, Tianyin, your senior has treated you well all these years, hasn't he?"

"Um……"

"So, what's our relationship like?"

"Great!"

"Since that's the case, Tianyin, would you be willing to follow me from now on?"

"..."

"Hmm? Tianyin, why is your face so red? Are you hot?"

"You...we...isn't this too fast?"

"Not fast, right? You have to do these things early and seize the opportunity, otherwise someone else will snatch it away..."

"..."

"No, no, I still think it's too fast. I'm only ten years old... Let's talk about it after we grow up and leave Dead Soul Island... okay?"

"All right……"

What a pity!

Fan Tianyin sighed softly. There were some things she hadn't had a chance to say before, and now that they had finally met again, she hadn't even had a chance to say them before he left again...

Little did I know that this departure would be my last...

If I had been braver back then, would things have been better?

Forget it, there's no chance anymore...

Fan Tianyin awaited her death, but instead of feeling the pain of being torn apart, she heard a loud bang and a scream.

She opened her eyes and found a large hole in the palace ceiling, Shuten-dōji lying on the ground, a giant golden hammer on his body, and what appeared to be a person standing there...

Suddenly, Fan Tianyin felt her hands loosen, and her spiritual energy returned. A familiar voice rang out, "Sorry I'm late..."

Fan Tianyin was taken aback. She looked in the direction of the sound and suddenly felt a lump in her throat. She bit her lip, trying hard not to let the tears fall, and forced a smile.

"I knew you would find me..."

Li Moxuan squatted down next to her, and after noticing her injuries, the anger that had been stirred up by Ma Linghai was reignited.

He took a deep breath, pulled Fan Tianyin into his arms, and patted her shoulder. "Alright, we're such good friends, why are you pretending to be strong in front of me?"

"It's all over now, feel free to cry if you want!"

Fan Tianyin reached out and hugged Li Moxuan tightly, burying her face in his chest, tears silently streaming down her face...

"enough!"

Shuten-dōji roared and threw Li Yuanba off him.

Li Yuanba landed steadily, holding the Golden Hammer of the Drummer in his hand, and grinned, "How is it? Does my hammer taste good?"

"I am the Ghost King! Who do you think you are...?"

Before Shuten-dōji could finish speaking, a black dragon darted out from beside Li Moxuan and pounced on him, slamming him against the palace wall, instantly creating a large crater in the wall.

The black dragon flew to Li Yuanba's side, transforming into the appearance of Li Cunxiao. He curled his lip, "It seems even trash like this dares to call themselves king in front of His Highness..."

This is the Nine Beast Transformation technique that Li Moxuan learned after releasing all his guardian spirits. The guardian spirits can transform into the appearance of ancient divine beasts to fight.

After comforting Fan Tianyin, Li Moxuan pressed down on her leg with one hand to channel spiritual energy, while using the other hand to grasp the black dagger stuck in her leg.

This thing needs to be pulled out as soon as possible; who knows if Shuten-dōji did anything to it...

"Bear with it!"

"Um……"

Fan Tianyin nodded, gripping Li Moxuan's arm with one hand and clenching her teeth.

Seizing the opportunity, Li Moxuan swiftly drew his black dagger...

Fan Tianyin let out a painful groan, and her grip on Li Moxuan's arm tightened. Li Moxuan used his spiritual power to stop the bleeding, took out a healing pill and fed it to her to stabilize her injuries.

"Tianyin, are you alright?"

Freed from the binding of the Spirit-Locking Stone, Fan Kuai finally emerged from her body and asked worriedly.

Despite being very weak, Fan Tianyin nodded to indicate that she was alright.

"Damn it, that bastard actually ambushed us last night!"

Enraged, Fan Kuai drew his knife and was about to step forward, but Li Moxuan stopped him, "Fan Kuai, you protect Tianyin, leave this guy to me..."

Chapter 138: Using a cannon to kill a mosquito

Above the underground palace, which is inside the brothel, Li Jing, Cheng Yaojin, and Xue Rengui are sweeping away evil spirits.

Cheng Yaojin pierced through a palace-dressed demon with a single spear thrust, sending it flying and crashing into the wall, then chuckled.

"If these people knew that these girls were transformed from sharp-tongued demons, I wonder if they could still sleep..."
