"Ding dong!"
"Congratulations! You have triggered a hidden D-level mission: 'Lead the Crowd, Duty Bound.' Lead the eight members of the Shrek Nine through the Hellish Path and obtain the God of Slaughter's domain."
As the Shrek Nine reached the gates of the City of Slaughter, the space around them shimmered.
"Welcome to the City of Slaughter."
A melodious voice echoed around them as four men and five women appeared from thin air.
The women were stunningly beautiful, with pale skin and long black eyelashes, reminiscent of Persian beauties. The men were dressed elegantly, courteous, and all bore handsome features.
"This is your token."
The four men and five women handed over their respective identity tokens to the Shrek Nine.
Meng Yiran's number was 9520, Zhu Zhuqing was 9521, Ning Rongrong was 9522, Xiao Wu was 9523, Dai Mubai was 9524, Ma Hongjun was 9525, Oscar was 9526, Mu Chen was 9527, and Tang San was 9528.
The group of four men and five women bowed politely to the Shrek Nine, welcoming them into the city.
Upon stepping through the city gates, the Shrek Nine noticed the smell of blood in the air was even stronger.
"I will be your guide. For twelve hours, you are under the protection of a newcomer policy. I will answer any questions you may have. After twelve hours, you will officially become a part of the City of Slaughter."
As the guide explained, the Shrek Nine learned that the City of Slaughter had existed for a thousand years. It was said to be a domain left behind by a powerful soul master who broke through level 100. Here, martial souls could be activated, and soul power could be borrowed as a source of strength. However, the skills contained within soul rings could not be used. Almost all soul masters in this place were merely a bit stronger than ordinary people.
The rules of the City of Slaughter were essentially non-existent. The outer city was protected by the King of Slaughter, while the inner city was a place where killing could happen at any time. To live in the outer city, one needed to contribute two cups of Yellow Spring Dew daily. Living comfortably in the inner city required winning a match in the Hellish Arena, but without the protection of the King of Slaughter.
In a sense, this place was a paradise of sins. As long as you could survive and kill others, you could enjoy many pleasures that were unattainable outside, satisfying your inner desires.
Once you entered the City of Slaughter, unless you achieved a hundred consecutive victories in the Hellish Arena and passed through the Hellish Path, there was no way out.
The City of Slaughter was entirely governed by the King of Slaughter.
As Mu Chen had mentioned, the King of Slaughter could use soul skills. There was also an enforcement team composed of Soul Douluos granted the ability to use soul skills. Anyone who attempted to leave without permission was seeking their own demise.
Dai Mubai, Xiao Wu, and the others learned that anyone who broke through the Hellish Path would be referred to as a God of Slaughter. However, in the thousand years of the City of Slaughter's existence, only eight Gods of Slaughter had ever appeared. The success rate was incredibly low.
Still, Dai Mubai, Xiao Wu, and the others exchanged glances and smiled slightly. With Mu Chen accompanying them, they weren't worried about breaking through the Hellish Path.
During the guide's explanation, they learned that the Hellish Arena was far more demanding than the Soto City Great Soul Arena. Each battle would involve ten contestants, and losing meant certain death. The winners could absorb the soul power of the defeated.
Furthermore, to enjoy a carefree life in the inner city, one had to win a match in the Hellish Arena for every year they wished to live there.
In a way, the outer city required daily contributions of two cups of Yellow Spring Dew, while the inner city required a victory in the Hellish Arena once a year. Those living here had no choice but to kill, whether they wanted to or not.
Perhaps that was the true meaning behind the name "City of Slaughter."
"Will you really answer any question?"
Mu Chen walked into the Hellish Arena and suddenly asked the guide beside him.
"Yes, I will answer any question unless it's something I don't know," the guide said with a smile.
"Are you still a virgin?" Mu Chen asked.
"Ah?"
"Ah?"
"Ah?"
Dugu Yan, Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and Xiao Wu all stared at Mu Chen in shock. Among the four women, only Xiao Wu slightly paused, her eyes flickering with an elusive expression.
In her view, she didn't mind Mu Chen having multiple partners, but anyone who could be her sister must have the necessary strength. It was clear that Mu Chen's guide didn't have the qualifications to be considered her sister.
As for the guide, she showed no signs of shock. She touched Mu Chen's shoulder and smiled, "As of now, I am indeed inexperienced."
"No way?"
The scene before Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Tang San, and Oscar exceeded their understanding. Mu Chen's guide actually agreed to serve him.
"As your guide, it is our duty to serve you, including in that aspect."
Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Tang San, and Oscar's guides began to explain their duties too.
Mu Chen chuckled and pointed to Ma Hongjun, saying, "Alright, you can serve him."
"Me?"
Ma Hongjun was stunned, realizing Mu Chen had just offered his guide to him.
Mu Chen nodded, "You can quickly increase your soul power through those intimate acts. Being inexperienced is also beneficial for you."
"Boss Mu."
Ma Hongjun looked at Mu Chen with gratitude, saying, "You're truly my benefactor! No matter when, you will always be my Boss Mu."
Mu Chen smiled and turned to his guide, asking, "Is that alright?"
The guide nodded but asked, "Are you sure you want to give me to him? Without me by your side, you will need to bear the pressure from the City of Slaughter alone."
Mu Chen nodded.
"Then, your fate is now in the hands of heaven."
The guide walked over to Ma Hongjun's side.
As for the other guides, they began to inquire about their respective charges.
The guide beside Zhu Zhuqing was mesmerized by her beauty, saying, "If you have any needs in that regard, I can fulfill them. I am still a virgin, you know!"
"Get lost!"
Zhu Zhuqing coldly retorted.
"Are you sure?"
Zhu Zhuqing's guide raised an eyebrow, looking at her with a mocking expression. In his eyes, without his protection, Zhu Zhuqing would surely not survive long.
"I'm sure."
Zhu Zhuqing continued to respond coldly, casting a meaningful glance at Mu Chen as if afraid he might misunderstand.
Seeing Zhu Zhuqing's firm stance, Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Dugu Yan, who were fond of Mu Chen, quickly rejected their guides out of concern that Mu Chen might misinterpret their actions.
As for Oscar, Ma Hongjun, and Dai Mubai, they had no qualms about accepting this newfound benefit. Their guides were all stunning beauties. They just didn't know if they were also inexperienced.
As for Tang San, perhaps due to his own reservations, he, like Mu Chen, rejected the special services from his guide.
