City of Slaughter?
Mubai and Zhuqing were shocked, knowing what kind of place it was. Even for geniuses like them, going there would be a nine out of ten chance of dying. But if it were Ye Yu, he would surely come back alive.
At this moment, a thirty-year-old man returned to Taoyuan Village. He was a Soul Master who had left from here. When he entered the village, he saw a banquet set up in the center from a distance and paused, then looked over.
Upon seeing Ye Yu, his expression changed dramatically, his eyes filled with excitement and thrill.
"He... he's Ye Yu!"
The man turned around immediately, hurried towards the exit, and took out all his remaining Gold Soul Coins to have a Flying Soul Master take him away.
The man's heart was extremely excited: "He is the wanted Ye Yu, hahaha, whoever provides clues can get a Soul Bone. However, killing or capturing him will grant Elder status and a Soul Bone, as well as the Soul Bones on him."
The man arrived at the cliff and said, "Take me to Hundred Emperors City!"
"I only take people here, I can't take you there."
"Take me there, and I'll give you one thousand Gold Soul Coins afterward!"
Hearing this, the Flying Soul Master was shocked, one thousand Gold Soul Coins?
"I'm from Hundred Emperors City, why would I deceive you?"
"Alright then."
The Flying Soul Master quickly took the man towards Hundred Emperors City, a large city on the edge of the Tian Dou Empire.
Hundred Emperors City, as the name suggests, is a vast city consisting of a hundred small cities, each with its own City Lord, all of whom are Soul Emperors. So there are a hundred Soul Emperors, hence the name Hundred Emperors City.
Hundred Emperors City is the city with the largest area in the Tian Dou Empire, with strong comprehensive strength.
The Chief City Lord of Hundred Emperors City is a Soul Douluo, and there are also Ten Strongest of Hundred Emperors City, comprising three Soul Douluo and seven Soul Saint.
With three Soul Douluo, seven Soul Saint, a hundred Soul Emperors, and other Soul Kings, Soul Sects, and Soul Venerables, the combined strength of Hundred Emperors City is not inferior to the Lower Four Sects.
Since the cliff was located on the border of the Xingluo Empire, passing through Martial Soul City, they quickly arrived at Hundred Emperors City.
This man was from Hundred Emperors City, a Soul Venerable. He originally planned to visit the village and saw a notice when passing through Martial Soul City but didn't pay it much attention. Such a figure was not someone he could deal with. However, unexpectedly, luck was on his side, allowing him to see it.
The man quickly arrived at City Fifteen, exclaiming excitedly, "I want to see the Sub-City Lord!"
In the entire Hundred Emperors City, a Soul Venerable doesn't have much status, but within the small city, he does, and soon he was led into the hall.
The man excitedly approached and whispered a few words in the ear of the Soul Emperor Sub-City Lord, whose eyes instantly lit up with excitement.
"Really? Are you sure you didn't make a mistake?"
"No, it's definitely him!"
"Good!"
The Soul Emperor looked at the Flying Soul Master and said, "Here's two thousand Gold Soul Coins for you, no need to go back, you can work in Hundred Emperors City from now on."
The Flying Soul Master, being a Soul King, was utterly astonished and excited. Was there something to be happy about?
"Thank you very much!"
The Soul Emperor hurriedly left, heading towards the large city at the very back of Hundred Emperors City, where the Chief City Lord resided.
In the grand hall, the Soul Emperor, excited, said, "City Lord! According to my subordinate's report, Ye Yu was spotted in his village."
The City Lord was an elder over seventy years old, sitting solemnly in the grand hall, exuding an aura of authority. He was an eighty-seventh-level Soul Douluo, the City Lord Li Gucheng of Hundred Emperors City. Even then, upon hearing this, he was thrilled.
After all, the Martial Soul Hall Elder status, along with the Soul Bone reward, and killing Ye Yu could earn the two External Soul Bones on Ye Yu's body, the rest going to the Martial Soul Hall. This reward would tempt even a Titled Douluo, let alone a Soul Douluo.
Li Gucheng couldn't hide his excitement and commanded, "Quickly! Assemble the ten strongest of Hundred Emperors City to go! Be discreet, we cannot let anyone find out. This head of Ye Yu will belong to our Hundred Emperors City!"
"Yes!"
Li Gucheng didn't send many people, just the ten strongest of Hundred Emperors City, since too much commotion would draw attention.
Meanwhile, in Taoyuan Village.
Ye Yu and the others enjoyed the feast, singing and dancing merrily.
At this moment, outside the village.
Qiulu carried a backpack as she walked along the wooded path, suddenly noticing twelve figures descending at the cliff teleportation point in the distance.
"Honored ones, down below is the village, and Ye Yu is in there."
"Hahaha, good job. Once we're done, the City Lord will greatly reward you."
Though far away, Qiulu, like Ye Yu, had a natural special constitution, allowing her to hear.
Qiulu looked worried, "Are those people going to harm Ye Yu? Each of them looks to be in their sixties or seventies, will they be very strong? If I go through the back path to the Soul Village, I should reach the village before them to warn Ye Yu, right? But even if I manage to warn him, what good would it do? Those people will have arrived by then. Forget it, I won't go back. He's so powerful, and his friends are with him, they should be alright. If I go back, I will only hold him back. He should be able to escape. As for the villagers, there's no need to worry about them. I better not meddle unnecessarily."
At this moment, the feast ended, and Ye Yu and the three prepared to leave.
"Hmm?"
Ye Yu frowned, sensing twelve presences rapidly approaching, ten of which sent a chill down his spine.
Mubai and Zhuqing sensed it too, their faces heavy with concern.
Swish, swish, swish...
Figures flickered, first three figures dashed forward, surrounding Ye Yu, then seven more arrived, encircling the three. Two more followed behind, being the Soul Emperor and the Soul Venerable man.
"Hahaha, it really is him, wonderful!"
Seeing Ye Yu, all ten were thrilled, even the Soul Douluo shared the excitement.
"Who would've thought we'd be so lucky, kill him, and the City Lord becomes a Martial Soul Hall elder, we three Soul Douluo each get a Soul Bone."
They had already divided the spoils, the two strongest Soul Douluo splitting the two External Soul Bones on Ye Yu, with the Martial Soul Hall reward going to the other Soul Douluo.
"Son, is that you? What are you doing?"
Noticing the hostility towards Ye Yu from the other side, a villager spotted the Soul Venerable man at the back, utterly shocked.
"Dad, he's wanted by the Martial Soul Hall, we're here to deal with him."
"He's the enemy of the Martial Soul Hall, but not yours, he's also the savior of the entire village. How can you bring people to harm him?"
"Hmph, you'd better stay away from him, otherwise, we'll kill you too." The man looked at his parents with indifference.
"You! Ungrateful child!" The villager was furious.
Mubai and Zhu Qing immediately released their Martial Souls, both being Five-Rings.
Zhu Qing recently broke through, now at fifty-first level.
However, both had grave expressions, it was unexpected to be this unlucky, not many knew about this place.
Dai Mubai said in a deep voice, "You guys aren't from the Martial Soul Hall, right? I'm the prince of the Xingluo Empire, Dai Mubai, give me face and leave."
"Huh? Prince of the Xingluo Empire?"
The leading Soul Douluo, after being surprised, snorted coldly, "You're not even the prince of the Tian Dou Empire. You'd better stay out of this, or you won't fare well either. Once we kill Ye Yu, our City Lord becomes a Martial Soul Hall elder. Even your royal family would have to be wary, not daring to provoke the Martial Soul Hall."
