Chapter 125 Leaving the Slaughter City.
After searching the Slaughter City for more than ten days, and even entering the Slaughter King's room, the three still found nothing. Xiao Fei had no choice but to go look for the Slaughter King again.
Seeing Xiao Fei rescue him again, the Slaughter King was obviously very unhappy: "Fenghuang Tu, you have been searching everywhere in my Slaughter City these days. What are you looking for? Are you trying to destroy my Slaughter City?"
Xiao Fei shook his head: "My Lord Slaughter King, I have absolutely no intention of destroying the Slaughter City."
"Since this is your territory, then I would like to ask you, where is the Shura Temple?"
"Shura Temple? Hahaha, you actually want to find the Shura Temple?"
Xiao Fei looked at the laughing Slaughter King with a puzzled look.
"If you're looking for the Shura Temple, look no further, for the entire Slaughter City is the Shura Temple. However, you can only enter the temple with the approval of the Shura God, and clearly, you haven't received that approval yet."
Xiao Fei seemed to think of something: "Thank you, Slaughter King, for your guidance."
That same day, Xiao Fei, Yang Wudi, and Niu Gao left Slaughter City.
After watching Xiao Fei and the others leave, the Slaughter King continued to laugh: "Who still wants to find the Shura Temple?"
"What are you laughing at? Is that funny?" a deafening voice reached the Slaughter King's ears. Suddenly, the entire void turned blood red, and a massive crimson shadow, as tall as a mountain, appeared within.
The Slaughter King abruptly stood up and saluted the shadow: "Your humble servant greets the great Shura God."
The Shura God seemed to ignore the Slaughter King, instead gazing at Xiao Fei and the others as they retreated, a trace of regret evident in his eyes.
The Slaughter King whispered, "Lord Shura, this boy Fenghuang Tu is incredibly talented and powerful. Why haven't you bestowed upon him your inheritance?"
"He hasn't even reached the Shura Temple, so he's not worthy of my inheritance."
"Then, Lord Shura, do I need to tell him how to enter the Shura Temple?"
"No, just do your job. He already knows how to enter. The rest is his own decision."
After Xiao Fei and the other two left the Slaughter City, they found the Shura Sword unwieldy. The sword was too sharp, and could easily injure someone if they weren't careful.
So, they took out their furnace and hammer and spent half a day crafting a scabbard of deep-sea silver.
Looking at the freshly-forged scabbard, Xiao Fei nodded secretly. That was more than enough. What good was a sword without a scabbard?
Yang Wudi and Niu Gao seemed distraught, sitting nearby with their eyes blank.
Yang Wudi suddenly said to Xiaofei, "Is there any way we can rescue the old sect master?"
Xiaofei shook his head, "That's impossible. The City of Slaughter is the inheritance place of the Asura God. Soul skills cannot be released there. The King of Slaughter himself is very powerful and has reached level 99. Even for me, the chances of winning will not be too high. Besides, there are other Titled Douluo guarding inside who can release soul skills. I may be able to escape unscathed, but you two probably won't be able to escape."
"Also, Tang Chen's body has been corroded by the power of the Asura God. Once he leaves the City of Slaughter, he won't have much time left and will surely die."
"Then is there no other way?"
"Of course there is a way. As long as there are more than two Gods of Slaughter attacking at the same time, they can deal with the King of Slaughter. And a healing soul master of the Titled Douluo level is required. Tang Chen is too powerful, and the hidden injuries in his body are too heavy. A healing soul master below the Titled Douluo level probably won't have any effect on him."
"Or maybe a god could rescue him. That's fine, too."
Niu Gao and Yang Wudi exchanged a serious glance and said, "Xiao Fei, are there really gods in this world?"
"Of course there are. Seagod Island is the Seagod's legacy, and the Angel Temple in the Spirit Hall is the Angel God's legacy. Otherwise, where do all these god-level spirits come from?"
A silence descended upon the three of them. Niu Gao and Yang Wuli seemed still preoccupied with Tang Chen, while Xiao Fei pondered the Asura God.
In fact, through his conversations with Tang Chen and the Slaughter King, Xiao Fei had already largely grasped the key to entering the Asura Temple. It was slaughter, endless slaughter. As long as he could massacre most of the people in Slaughter City, he'd likely be able to enter.
Xiao Fei couldn't help but recall that in the original novel, Tang San poisoned most of Slaughter City with a single Snow Swan's Kiss. Was this how he gained the Asura God's approval?
Asura? Slaughter?
Xiao Fei couldn't help but shake his head. "Forget it, let's go back and see if there's any other gods' inheritance. If not, we can come back to Slaughter City later. Anyway, I've got the Shura Demon Sword now."
Xiao Fei couldn't help but complain: Shura God must know about me, otherwise I wouldn't be able to get the Shura Demon Sword out of Slaughter City. And yet he won't give me the inheritance.
Suddenly, a thought occurred to him, and he said to Yang Wudi and Niu Gao, "Seniors, in Slaughter City, in order to meet Tang Chen and help your two clans resolve their worries, I promised the Slaughter King that he would send 1,000 people to Slaughter City. Please help me go to the nearby cities and find 1,000 criminals to give to the Slaughter King."
The two couldn't help but complain: "You old man, you promised everything, but why do you make us do it yourself?"
After a brief conversation, Xiao Fei, Yang Wudi, and Niu Gao separated. Yang Wudi and Niu Gao had promised Xiao Fei they would provide the Slaughter King with 1,000 prisoners. It seemed they were planning to visit the Clear Sky Sect first.
Xiao Fei shook his head. After all, they were both Titled Douluo. Even if they went to the Clear Sky Sect, they should be able to escape unscathed. Furthermore, they possessed the Clear Sky Order and Tang Chen's letter, which served as a final act of gratitude for the Clear Sky Sect's training and also resolved a karmic rift.
Xiao Fei didn't immediately return to the Elemental Academy, but instead headed towards the Star Dou Great Forest.
He'd miscalculated this time; he hadn't received the Asura God's inheritance, and there seemed to be no news of the Fire God's inheritance site. But with no other options, he could only go to the Star Dou Great Forest to find the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. A broken deity was better than no deity at all.
Xiao Fei had originally intended to use the Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King for his seventh soul ring, but now that he hadn't received the Asura God's inheritance, he had no choice but to change his mind and seek the tiger, and quickly.
Xiao Fei calculated the time and figured Tang San and his group should be returning from Sea God Island soon. He wondered if Bibi Dong would still be on the hunt. If Tang San snatched the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, that would be quite a bummer.
Unbeknownst to Xiao Fei, the timeline had deviated significantly from the original novel. Tang San was still undergoing his assessment on Sea City Island, while Bibi Dong seemed to be facing a more difficult situation.
In the Spirit Empire, Spirit City,
Emperor Bibi Dong sat on the platform, listening to reports from the personnel below.
"Your Majesty, our spies recently reported from the Xingdou Great Forest that something major had occurred there, and the Titan Giant Ape and Azure Bull Python we were planning to hunt have disappeared for some unknown reason. Furthermore, some of the high-level soul beasts we were keeping an eye on have also vanished."
"A conservative estimate is that there are more than five, including the Titan Giant Ape, Azure Bull Python, and Prison-Suppressing Elephant..."
Someone nearby said, "Could someone be hunting these high-level soul beasts recently?"
"The missing high-level soul beasts are at least ninety thousand years old. Soul masters need the ninth soul ring to absorb them. It's impossible for so many Titled Douluo to appear on the continent at the same time."
Emperor Bibi Dong's face was a little ashen on the high platform. The originally planned hunting operation had been repeatedly postponed for various reasons, and now those high-level soul beasts were gone. Where would they find the hundred-thousand-year soul ring?
"Investigate, arrange for someone to investigate for me. I want to know the specific situation of those high-level soul beasts, especially the Titan Giant Ape and Azure Bull Python."
