“In this world, where else can one find a higher peak?
Where can one find even a glimmer of opportunity to become a god?” Since the battle over a year ago, Tang Chen had returned to the Clear Sky Sect to recuperate.
He handed the position of Sect Master to his son, left the Sect, and embarked on a journey to find a way to defeat that giant beast.
However, human history was too short; apart from Spirit Hall, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and the Star Luo imperial family, there were almost no traces of divine Legacy.
In order to Breakthrough to level one hundred, he had once traveled to the sea with Qian Daoliu to inquire about the Sea God.
But in the end, he did not find the opportunity to become a god, and instead lost an arm.
Tang Chen sighed and walked into a dim tavern.
As soon as he entered, all the guests in the tavern turned to look at him.
“Bring me a cup of the best wine you have here!” Tang Chen threw out a gold coin.
The bartender glanced at him and poured a cup of dark red, cloudy wine that emitted a strong scent of blood.
“What kind of wine is this?” Tang Chen frowned.
“This is human blood.” “What?” Tang Chen was stunned, his eyes turning sharp.
The guests in the tavern burst into laughter.
“Where did this rookie come from?
Go back home; this isn’t a place you should be.” “You don’t even dare drink a Bloody Mary, yet you want to enter here?” “Haha, go home and ask your mommy for milk.” Tang Chen didn’t get angry, but instead pondered, “Qualifications to enter?
Is there a place in this world I don’t know about?” He gently raised his hand, and the Clear Sky Hammer rose in response, quickly smashing towards everyone in the tavern.
A moment later, there was silence in the tavern.
Tang Chen held the Clear Sky Hammer in one hand, pressing it against the bartender’s head.
“What was that ‘qualification’ they mentioned just now?” The bartender trembled in fear, “It…
it is the qualification for Slaughter City!
Don’t kill me!” “Slaughter City?” A glint flashed in Tang Chen’s eyes.
“Slaughter City has existed for a thousand years.
Legend has it that it is a place left behind by a Spirit Master who Breakthrough to level one hundred.
Spirit Master skills cannot be used here; everyone can only survive by instinct and strength.
spirit power is the only source of power.” Tang Chen’s eyes lit up, and his heart raced—this was exactly the place he had been looking for!
If he could obtain the Legacy left behind by that level one hundred Spirit Master, perhaps he could defeat that giant beast!
“Take me there,” he said coldly.
“If you lead the way, I will spare your life.” The bartender swallowed, his face pale.
He nodded quickly and led Tang Chen toward the tavern’s underground passage.
Tang Chen did not know that his trip had cleverly allowed him to avoid Qian Daoliu coming to seek revenge.
Besides Tang Chen, the other person Qian Daoliu held a grudge against was Yu Xiaogang.
After overhearing the Tenth Elder and Bibi Dong exposing him, Yu Xiaogang immediately fled onto a ship, drifting for a long time before reaching the continent.
As soon as he got off the ship, he heard that people were hunting for him.
Just as he thought he was about to be caught, another Spirit Master who was also being hunted rescued him.
“My name is Flender.
Why are you also being hunted by Spirit Hall?
What did you do?” asked the bespectacled man, Flender, in confusion.
“I accidentally destroyed a few of Spirit Hall’s ships.” Yu Xiaogang spoke vaguely and changed the subject, “What about you?” “I just sold them something a bit too expensive, and that branch master actually issued a bounty on me!” “What did you sell?
How much?” “A water-spraying spirit tool.
It had no attack power at all, and I could only use it once at the time, but it actually sold for 100,000 gold coins.” Flender said triumphantly, “I didn’t expect anyone to actually fall for it!
I heard that person was the branch master’s son who took the spirit tool to hunt spirits, and ended up being killed by a Spirit Beast!
People from Spirit Hall deserve to die!” “Uh…” Hearing this, Yu Xiaogang understood the situation.
This person was young and impetuous, valued money highly, and was full of hostility toward Spirit Hall.
Regardless of what his future held, he could be useful for now.
He would first get through the immediate crisis, hide for a while, and wait until Spirit Hall could not find him before making further plans.
“Oh no!
Someone is coming, come with me quickly!” Seeing this, Flender hurriedly grabbed Yu Xiaogang, spread his wings, and flew into the air.
However, Yu Xiaogang’s clothes were already tattered after enduring long days of exposure at sea.
As soon as he was lifted, his clothes ripped, and Yu Xiaogang could not help but fall from the air.
Although Flender tried his best to grab him, he failed to hold on.
Yu Xiaogang landed directly on the ground, and one of his legs was fractured.
“Ouch, brother—” Flender hurriedly covered Yu Xiaogang’s mouth.
“This isn’t my fault; it was your clothes…” “Quick, run!” Yu Xiaogang clutched his broken leg, gritted his teeth, and endured the excruciating pain, making whimpering sounds.
Bastard!
I will make you pay sooner or later!
Although Spirit Hall had issued a warrant for Yu Xiaogang, they could not clearly write out the charges.
After all, he had schemed against the Holy Maiden and offered a venomous plan, causing Spirit Hall to lose two Titled Douluo and over a thousand Spirit Masters.
If this were written on the wanted poster, it would inevitably cause an uproar.
By then, the prestige of Spirit Hall, which Qian Daoliu had worked hard for decades to establish, might completely collapse.
Therefore, Qian Daoliu kept the matters of Sea God Island and the giant beast strictly confidential.
Except for giving the Tenth Elder a stern warning, the High Priest hunted down and killed all other Spirit Masters who had left.
People all said that this High Priest was fair and treated others like a spring breeze, but if that were truly the case, the High Priest would not be known as Spirit Hall’s “Number One Executioner.” The High Priest slaughtered countless Geniuses from various Sects and rarely let any threat go.
The High Priest had even kept the matter of Sea God Island hidden from its own son, the current Supreme Pontiff Qian Xunji.
Although this was to protect its son’s morale in Cultivate, to avoid the truth shaking his resolve.
But this also created a rift between father and son.
“That Yu Xiaogang must be found!
Dig three feet into the ground if you have to, but dig him out!” Inside the Supreme Pontiff Palace, Qian Xunji reviewed the reports again, his heart burning with rage.
His own father, the dignified First Adjudicator Elder of Spirit Hall, a level 99 Titled Douluo, and one of only two top experts in the world, had actually been scared out of his wits after going out to sea!
Not only had he left his own direct Disciple, the newly appointed Holy Maiden, on the island as a hostage, but he had even scavenged Spirit Bone as compensation!
His own side had lost two Titled Douluo, and of the remaining two thousand Spirit Master survivors, less than a hundred remained, yet his father was actually paying the other side compensation!
He had almost scavenged all the Spirit Bone on the market, yet it was still not enough, and now he had to go and capture 100,000-year Soul Beasts to continue the compensation.
“Am I even his biological son!
I am about to reach level 90 and become a Titled Douluo, and he actually wants to take 100,000-year Soul Beasts to compensate that wretched island!
Where am I supposed to get a 100,000-year Soul Beast spirit ring?” Hearing the Supreme Pontiff flying into a rage, the Elders of the Supreme Pontiff Palace looked at each other.
“The High Priest has its own difficulties…” the only one who knew the truth, the Tenth Elder, could only offer persuasion.
“He has his difficulties, and I have mine!” Qian Xunji slammed the imperial chair and said angrily, “Tenth Elder, Ninth Elder, you also go and find 100,000-year Soul Beasts, but don’t tell my father.” “This…” The Tenth Elder and Ninth Elder looked at each other, not knowing how to respond.
“I will explain it to my father personally.
If the forces on the island are truly that strong, once I obtain a 100,000-year Soul Beast spirit ring and reach level 99, even if I cannot inherit a God Position, I will be able to work with my father to completely eradicate the forces on that island!” Thanks to the meteoric rise of Spirit Hall over the last decade, Qian Xunji had also begun to develop the habit of arrogance.
“Yes!” ————————
It might not seem tempting right now but who knows what the future holds?
“And If you’re enjoying it, drop a Power Stone for me!”
