Douluo Dalu:Breaking Clan

After resting for a few more days in Spirit City, Yang Podi received a notice from Bibi Dong that Qian Renxue was ready, and they could set off.

When Yang Podi arrived at the Douluo Hall, Qian Renxue seemed unusually cold. "Yang Podi, what exactly is your other request? What do you need the Angelic Holy Sword for?"

Yang Podi glanced at Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue beside him, then carefully thought before replying, "The goal this time is the Slaughter City. I want to use the Angelic Holy Sword to eliminate the evil aura within the Slaughter City. This should benefit everyone."

Bibi Dong's expression changed drastically upon hearing this. "Yang Podi, do you even know what you're talking about? The Slaughter City is extremely dangerous, and all spirit abilities are forbidden there. Once Xiaoxue enters, she will face countless threats. Especially with the King of Slaughter in there—even I wouldn't dare underestimate him."

Yang Podi smiled faintly. "Since I dare invite the Qian Renxue to the Slaughter City, I naturally can guarantee her safety and ensure she leaves the Slaughter City unharmed."

"The King of Slaughter is already dead. I am now the master of the Slaughter City; otherwise, I wouldn't be idly transforming it. Besides, given Qian Renxue's situation, it's beneficial for her to see such a place. At the very least, it will allow her to understand the darkness of the world."

Bibi Dong pondered deeply. If she had understood the darkness of the world earlier, perhaps she wouldn't have experienced such tragedies.

However, Bibi Dong was still worried. "Yang Podi, why don't I accompany you to the Slaughter City? I'm more familiar with the place and can enter and leave freely."

Yang Podi shook his head. "Bibi Dong, that won't work. You're the inheritor of the Rakshasa God. The darkness and evil in the Slaughter City originate from the Rakshasa God. If you go, it will only cause more trouble."

On the side, Qian Renxue thought for a long time before speaking. "I'll go with you to the Slaughter City. However, I hope you keep your promise. Otherwise, I won't let you off."

After a round of discussions, Yang Podi and Qian Renxue flew out of Spirit City, heading towards the Slaughter City.

The Slaughter City was a certain distance from Spirit City. It took the two of them half a day of flying to reach the entrance.

Upon entering the Slaughter City, Qian Renxue's expression turned extremely eerie and cold.

As they walked through the Slaughter City, its horrific scenes unfolded before Qian Renxue. Everywhere was filled with killing and evil auras, and occasionally, they even encountered some extremely depraved situations.

Qian Renxue's face was icy cold. "I never imagined such an evil place exists in this world. In my opinion, it would be better to destroy the entire Slaughter City. This way, we could prevent these people from escaping one day and harming the spirit master world."

Since entering the Slaughter City, Qian Renxue felt an overwhelmingly unpleasant aura enveloping her. This aura was entirely opposite to her Angel Martial Soul, even suppressing it.

When Qian Renxue tried to summon her Martial Soul, her six-winged Seraphim felt an immense hostility in this space, rendering it suppressed and seemingly on the verge of collapse.

Only the Angelic Holy Sword emitted a holy light, counteracting the killing and evil aura of the Slaughter City.

Yang Podi shook his head slightly. "I don't like the Slaughter City either. But these fallen individuals are trapped here like prisoners in a massive cage. They have no hope of leaving in their lifetime."

"If the Slaughter City were destroyed, many of these fallen individuals—most of whom are spirit masters or even high-level spirit masters—would wreak havoc on the continent. They would be especially disastrous for the common people."

Qian Renxue was silent for a long time before speaking. "You may have a point, but why not eradicate these fallen individuals entirely? Wouldn't that also eliminate future troubles?"

Yang Podi sighed. "You're not wrong. But these fallen individuals were once ordinary spirit masters from the outside or even evil spirit masters. By imprisoning them in the Slaughter City, they retain a sliver of hope to live. However, if they were to be directly exterminated, many would retaliate by harming innocent people, causing even greater devastation."

"These fallen individuals were once spirit masters, cursed either by their Martial Souls or their cultivation methods. Many needed to consume the blood and flesh of spirit masters or civilians to increase their power. This method of cultivation severely endangered ordinary people. By imprisoning them in the Slaughter City, the Spirit Hall and the two empires enacted the harshest punishment."

Qian Renxue closed her eyes and sensed the aura around her. Finally, she asked, "Does the Spirit Hall know about the Slaughter City's existence? How long has it been around?"

Yang Podi shook his head. "No one knows how long the Slaughter City has existed. But the Spirit Hall undoubtedly knows about it and even cooperates with it. After all, so many spirit masters are confined here, and they still need food and resources—all provided by the Spirit Hall."

Qian Renxue was stunned. "How is that possible? Why has my grandfather never mentioned this?"

"Qian Daoliu must know. But what can he do about it? The Slaughter City is the inheritance site of the Asura God, one of the five supreme gods of the Divine Realm, ranking above the Angel God. Even the Angel God cannot destroy it."

"Then what does this place have to do with the Rakshasa God? Could it be that the Asura God and the Rakshasa God are colluding?"

"That, I don't know. Normally, the Slaughter City should only have the aura of killing. But for some reason, it also contains the Rakshasa God's evil aura."

As he spoke, Yang Podi took out a glass of Bloody Mary and handed it to Qian Renxue. "Everyone in the Slaughter City must drink Bloody Mary, whether they're living in the inner city or participating in the Hell Slaughter Arena. It's the currency here. You can sense the aura within it."

Qian Renxue took the glass and carefully examined it with her spiritual power. The Bloody Mary contained a potent aura of killing and a trace of evil. She even felt an inexplicable attraction to it.

"This Bloody Mary isn't normal. What exactly is it made of?"

Yang Podi sighed. "Human blood. Bloody Mary is composed of human blood, along with other unknown elements likely produced within the Slaughter City."

Qian Renxue's expression changed. "If it's human blood, why do I feel so strongly attracted to it? This shouldn't be the case. My Angel Martial Soul should reject such an aura."

Yang Podi shook his head. "There is no absolute light or darkness in this world. Light and darkness are always opposing forces. Your Angel Martial Soul is the most sacred and even perfect Martial Soul. But humans aren't perfect. Even you harbor evil thoughts. It's unavoidable."

Qian Renxue's face turned pale, and she pointed her Angelic Holy Sword at Yang Podi. "Nonsense! My Angel Clan is the most sacred family. How could there be evil or darkness within us? You're trying to disrupt my state of mind and prevent me from becoming a god!"

Yang Podi sneered. "Qian Renxue, you couldn't be more wrong. Spirit City is the holiest place in the world, yet why is the Rakshasa Secret Realm located at the foot of Spirit City's mountain? And as for you, weren't you ruthless and ambitious in Heaven Dou City? Aren't those evil thoughts? I suggest you stop being naïve, or you won't pass the final trial for inheriting the Angel God."

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue's face turned pale. She seemed to realize something and quickly asked, "Bibi Dong is the inheritor of the Rakshasa God. What are the origins of her darkness and malice? How did it become so powerful, to the extent of wanting to kill me?"

Yang Podi couldn't help but laugh. "You're asking the wrong person. Bibi Dong's darkness and malice naturally originate from your Angel Clan. As for the specifics, you'd better ask your grandfather. He's the only person alive who knows the truth."

"I asked my grandfather, but he refused to tell me."

"Then there's nothing I can do. However, I can provide you with a small hint. What kind of event could drive a woman to such madness? What could make a woman hate her child so much? You're a woman too; try putting yourself in Bibi Dong's shoes and think it through."

After listening to these words, Qian Renxue was stunned. She muttered absentmindedly, "What kind of thing could make a mother hate her own daughter?"

After a while, Yang Podi finally spoke. "Alright, stop worrying about these irrelevant matters. I brought you here for a purpose, not to delve into your domestic troubles."

Qian Renxue seemed to regain her composure, her expression turning cold once more. "Speak then. Why did you want me to bring the Angelic Holy Sword to the Slaughter City? What exactly are you planning?"

Yang Podi's demeanor turned serious as well. "Besides the aura of the Asura God, the Slaughter City also harbors the malice of the Rakshasa God. This malice is the source of all the evil here. The power of the Asura God and the Rakshasa God are somewhat similar, which prevents me from locating the source of this malice or eradicating it. But your Angel Martial Soul and Angelic Sacred Sword possess the ultimate holy attributes, the nemesis of all evil. I need your help to purify the entire Slaughter City."

Qian Renxue gazed at the vast Slaughter City and replied, "That's impossible. I've only just reached the rank of Titled Douluo. With my current strength, it's impossible to purify the Slaughter City, even with the Angelic Holy Sword."

"I know you can't do it entirely," Yang Podi said. "What I need is for you to purify the sliver of the Rakshasa God's malice—the source of all this. Once we remove the root, we can deal with the rest step by step."

"Do you know where the source is? The Slaughter City is so vast. How am I supposed to find it?"

"Come, let me show you the most sinister and blood-soaked place in the world. That must be where the source lies."

With that, Yang Podi led Qian Renxue toward the Hell Slaughter Arena.
