One Month Later
Lin Yuan brought Bibi Dong to the City of Slaughter.
"Take this and keep it on you. After entering the City of Slaughter, the more people you kill, the deeper your bloodlust becomes. The influence on you will increase as well. Only if you stay clear-headed can you survive. And there's a drink called the Bloody Mary inside—don't drink it. It's not just human blood, it's also poison."
"I understand."
They arrived at the tavern. When the waiter saw Lin Yuan, he trembled, whispered something to the person beside him, and that person hurried away.
Lin Yuan sat down and said calmly, "Kill them all."
"What?"Bibi Dong was startled for a moment but quickly understood. Her martial soul appeared, and she instantly killed everyone in the tavern except Lin Yuan and the waiter.
Lin Yuan walked to the bar counter and smashed it with one palm. "Come with me."
They stepped into the darkness, and once their feet touched ground again, someone was already waiting for them.
"Golden Spear King, why have you returned?"The Slaughter King floated in mid-air, having received the message in advance.
"Sending someone over shouldn't bother you, right?" Lin Yuan raised a brow. Although phrased like a question, his tone allowed no refusal.
"Of course I don't mind. Since they were sent by the Golden Spear King, someone will take them to the Outer City."
Lin Yuan turned to Bibi Dong. "Go first. Be careful."
After watching her follow the guide into the Outer City, Lin Yuan turned and disappeared without another word.
System Notification
[Ding! Current Mission 8: Desert Exploration.]
Objective: Travel to the great desert southwest of the Star Luo Empire and search for opportunities.Reward:• 1 God- given Spirit Ring• 70 Diamonds• "Ling Bu Wei Bu"
"A desert? That wasn't in the original story."
"The desert in the southwest Star Luo region was formed by volcanic activity at the continent's edge blocking ocean air currents. The environment inside is harsh, inhabited by dual-attribute fire-earth hybrid soul beasts with both strong offense and defense."
Lin Yuan quickly returned to the Ice-Fire Yin Yang Well, explained the situation to everyone, and set off for the Star Luo Desert with Daji.
They first went to Heaven Dou City to rent a carriage, then headed toward the Star Luo Empire.
Two months later, Lin Yuan and Daji arrived in the empire. The city was called Nebula City, located in the southwestern region, close to the desert—an important hub.
"We'll stay at a hotel tonight. Tomorrow morning we head out again. After about a day's travel, we'll reach the southwest desert."
"That's fine."
They got off the carriage and stored it in the system space. Lin Yuan had long wanted a mount of his own—it would make things far more convenient.
Nebula City
Nebula City's night scene was beautiful—bright lights and clean stone streets. The white-tiled buildings were mostly two stories tall, with shops, snack stalls, and soul-master supply stores lining both sides. A five-meter-tall desert tree had been planted intentionally near one building, and soul-guide lanterns hung from its branches.
Wealthy nobles and powerful soul masters—many Title Douluo—walked the streets.
"What a beautiful city."
There were casinos, luxurious entertainment venues, even nightclubs. A handsome attendant stood at the door, greeting every passerby.
Lin Yuan and Daji found a hotel—an enormous, gold-plated building more than ten stories high. Even stepping onto the stairs made one feel superior.
The first two floors were restaurants; the upper floors were guest rooms.
A curvy female attendant approached them and bent slightly."What service do you require?"
"One open room."
"Right away."She led them to the counter, arranged everything, and handed Lin Yuan the key."The price is 3,000 gold soul coins per night."
Lin Yuan was surprised but paid with the black gold card he obtained from Bibi Dong. After processing, he and Daji headed upstairs.
In the Room
As soon as they entered, Lin Yuan pinned Daji to the door and kissed her. Daji wrapped her arms around him and threw him onto the bed, the two rolling and embracing passionately.
Her charming beauty glowed softly, unnoticed by anyone else. Their lips intertwined, exchanging warmth and affection, holding each other tightly.
A deep sense of happiness filled the room.No lust—only pure love.
The bed was incredibly soft, like Daji's tender body. Their soul power created gentle currents that lifted the curtains like drifting wind.
…
Two hours later, they went downstairs to eat.
They ordered several delicious dishes and drinks while listening to other guests talk.
Rumors of the Desert
"You've heard about that treasure in the southwest desert, right? They say it's a few soul bones from ten years ago."
"Bullshit. I heard there are not only soul bones, but offensive soul tools and even lost soul-tool crafting techniques. Maybe a god descended there!"
"Seriously?"
"Of course seriously. The Spirit Hall sent multiple Title Douluo. None of them came back."
"Then there must be some ultimate treasure inside. The soul-power fluctuations a month ago matched perfectly with what's happening now."
"Quiet, quiet—people from the Elephant Armored Sect have arrived."
Several burly men entered. The one in the middle was so massive that even the word "huge" felt inadequate. He was several meters tall, like a walking mountain of flesh. His dark skin shone with a strange luster, and his bulging eyes were like bronze bells. Even with a head full of white hair—he looked at least seventy—his presence was overwhelmingly powerful.
The Elephant Armored Sect
The Elephant Armored Sect—just as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was known as the strongest support sect—they were known as the strongest defense sect.
The Diamond Mammoth, their inherited martial soul, possessed extremely high defense and immense strength. Among soul masters of the same rank, almost no one could break their defense.
The sect master, Hu Yanzhen, was Rank 87. His defense alone allowed him to defeat some Title Douluo who weren't attack-oriented. That alone proved how terrifying his martial soul was.
