"Mr. 8848. I understand what you're thinking," the girl in black suddenly said.
Qian Xunji was taken aback. "You know what I'm thinking?"
"You must be thinking about how the City of Slaughter protects its people, right?"
Qian Xunji's heart skipped a beat. "How did you know?"
The girl in black said, "Because everyone who comes to the City of Slaughter has this thought. But soon, they will dismiss it. Entering the City of Slaughter requires undergoing trials and the test of slaughter. Although you entered using special methods, your overall killing intent is sufficient. And you defeated Lord Terror Knight. That's why you were allowed to join. However, there's one thing I must remind you. Entering the City of Slaughter is easy, but getting out is almost impossible."
Qian Xunji gave the girl a meaningful look, smiled, and remained silent.
The girl in black looked at the young man before her. For some reason, she had a feeling that this man would successfully leave the City of Slaughter. Then, she shook her head unrealistically. How could that be?
The girl in black continued, "Within the City of Slaughter, there's a dedicated enforcement team. The terrifying knight Scott you saw is just one member of that team. The great King of Slaughter controls everything here, and the true powerhouses in the enforcement team are all Soul Douluos granted the ability to use Soul Skills by the King of Slaughter. The captain is even a Title Douluo. Many have tried to escape, but without exception, they all failed."
Qian Xunji was taken aback. If a Title Douluo using Soul Skills was still powerful, then a Title Douluo who couldn't use Soul Skills was almost certainly no match for a Soul Douluo who could. Moreover, according to the girl in black, the captain of the City of Slaughter's enforcement team was a Title Douluo who could use Soul Skills. No wonder she said this place was a place where you could only enter but not leave.
The girl in black veil calmly said, "If you wish to leave the City of Slaughter, there is only one way: after you have the qualifications to challenge the Hell Road, you must break through the Hell Road to leave the City of Slaughter. All those who achieve this will be bestowed the title of God of Slaughter. The City of Slaughter has a history of over a thousand years, and a total of eight Gods of Slaughter have appeared throughout its history."
Eight in a thousand years—what an unbalanced number!
Qian Xunji smiled. Gods of Slaughter, huh? It seems he'll have to challenge them.
Qian Xunji thought for a moment and asked, "How does one live in the City of Slaughter? Are there restaurants or anything like that?"
The girl in black veil replied, "Respected Mr. 8848, food and drink are provided free of charge in the City of Slaughter, though poison is not excluded. Here, the dead are the most valuable. Everyone uses the number of skulls they possess as a symbol of strength. The blood and skulls of opponents personally killed can be used to exchange for other items."
"Tell me about the rules of the Regional Slaughter Arena," Qian Xunji said.
The woman in black veil paused slightly, but still explained, "The Hell Slaughter Arena is the place with the highest mortality rate in the Slaughter City. Each person is only required to enter the Hell Slaughter Arena once a year. As long as you can pass one battle, you can live in the Slaughter City for another year." "
Each group in the Hell Slaughter Arena consists of ten people. No matter what methods you use, as long as you come out of the room alive, you win. And only one person from each group can come out alive."
Qian Xunji's expression turned slightly cold. One in ten survives—no wonder it's the Slaughter City; it's truly cruel.
"Take me to the Hell Slaughter Arena?"
"Are you sure you want to go now? Why not wait, observe more, and adapt before going?" the woman in black veil asked in shock.
"Absolutely, and certainly. Don't you know that practice is the only way to test the truth?"
Qian Xunji suddenly revealed a strange smile. Of course you know!
"In that case, then come with me!" A hint of doubt appeared on the woman's pretty face beneath her veil, but she ultimately nodded in agreement.
Then, led by her, Qian Xunji began to walk slowly into the city.
He wasn't in a hurry, carefully observing his surroundings.
Lined both sides of the street were simple black stone houses, apparently where people lived, but the environment was appalling!
Every so often, there were places to eat, with many people queuing up for food. They were barely better off than beggars.
In his opinion, this place, supposedly a sanctuary for those who had fallen into depravity, shouldn't be like this!
Although Qian Xunji was puzzled, he didn't ask the woman in black veils and continued walking.

As they continued forward, the crowds on the street gradually increased, but Qian Xunji frowned.
None of the people he saw were normal; they were all emaciated, pale, and looked malnourished. Some were even skin and bones, barely any flesh on their skin, walking weakly, barely clinging to life.
If this was the so-called Pure Land of Depravity, the so-called hedonism, he dared not agree.
The woman in black veils beside him naturally noticed his expression.
"Are you somewhat disappointed? You don't need to answer; I know,"
she explained.
It turned out this was only the outer city; the true Pure Land of Depravity was in the inner city.
The inner city was incredibly prosperous; the outer city didn't even qualify to carry its shoes. As long as you were strong enough, you could do whatever you wanted, indulging to your heart's content, provided you could survive.
As for the outer city, the people Qian Xunji saw were all weak, barely surviving by contributing two Bloody Marys each month—and that was only because killing was forbidden indiscriminately in the outer city; otherwise, these people wouldn't have the right to live.
Over an hour later, Qian Xunji, led by the woman in black veils, arrived at the foot of a black city wall—the inner wall of the City of Slaughter.
Compared to the outer wall, it was much shorter, reaching a maximum height of only ten meters. Beyond this wall lay the inner city of the City of Slaughter, known as the sanctuary of the fallen.
Qian Xunji's eyes flashed; he wanted to see what this so-called inner city was like.
The black city gates were wide open, without any guards.
The woman in black veils explained indifferently to Qian Xunji, "The inner city doesn't need guards. Anyone from the outer city who dares to enter can go in at any time. Of course, once inside, they must bear the unknowns of the world within. That's why I advised you before, but unfortunately, you didn't heed my advice. After entering the inner city, please don't stray more than five meters from me; otherwise, I cannot guarantee your safety."
"Being with you is safe?" Qian Xunji asked, somewhat puzzled. He had already investigated and found the woman in black veils to be relatively weak.
The girl in the black veil glanced at him, a proud glint flashing in her beautiful eyes peeking out from beneath the veil. "I am the messenger of the King of Slaughter. In the City of Slaughter, no one dares to offend the King of Slaughter's majesty. For the first twelve hours after you enter this world, you are under a protection period. My presence is the best protection for your life. After that, your fate is in the hands of fate."
A protection period for newcomers? It seems the City of Slaughter has developed a complete system.
Qian Xunji's heart skipped a beat. It seemed the King of Slaughter's authority was beyond his imagination. Suddenly, a serious question arose in his mind.
Even if he achieved a hundred victories in the regional slaughter arena and won the championship, what could he do if the King of Slaughter didn't want him to receive the title of God of Slaughter? Could he resist?
Shaking his head, he put these thoughts aside and followed the girl in the black veil into the inner city.
But the moment he stepped into the inner city, Qian Xunji immediately felt an atmosphere completely different from the outer city.
If the outer city was a desolate and indifferent world... So, the inner city is a world of luxury and madness. Moreover, the inner city is vibrant with color, unlike the monotonous and gloomy outer city.
Indeed, this is more in line with the image of a fallen paradise.
