I've already been given the title of Douluo, and you want me to be reasonable?

Wuhun City, the Pope's Palace.

In the magnificent palace, Pope Bibidon leaned back in her chair, her fingers lightly tapping the chair in front of her, a cold and piercing look flashing in her eyes.

"Nana has been in the City of Slaughter for quite some time now, how is she doing?"

Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan knelt on the ground and bowed to Bibi Dong in front of him: "Your Holiness the Pope, the Holy Maiden Hu Liena is still in the City of Slaughter. As for her situation... it is not yet clear."

Ghost Douluo walked over and knelt on the ground as well. His hoarse voice slowly rang out: "Your Holiness, what should we do next? At present, the Heaven Dou Royal Academy where Lin Yuan is located is extremely powerful."

"After investigation, it was found that the disciples of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy have made great breakthroughs, including Ye Lingling, who has reached the Soul Saint realm, and Zhu Zhuqing, who has reached the Soul Emperor realm."

Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong dug her nails deep into the armrest, causing tiny cracks to seep from the sandalwood surface.

She narrowed her scarlet eyes, a chilling smile curving her lips: "Ye Lingling's Nine-Heart Begonia and Zhu Zhuqing's Netherworld Cat are both uniquely gifted martial souls. If we let them grow unchecked, they will surely become a great threat in the future."

Before the words were even finished, the air suddenly froze, and dark purple spiderweb-like patterns spread across the ground.

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo exchanged a glance, their foreheads dripping with cold sweat.

Ghost Douluo said in a trembling voice, "But Lin Yuan... this person is not only unfathomably strong, but also has very close ties with the Heaven Dou royal family. If we act rashly, the relationship between the Spirit Hall and the Empire may be..."

"relation?"

Bibi Dong abruptly stood up, her long black dress trailing a dark afterimage, and said indifferently, "When he led the elite of the Heavenly Dou Army to sabotage the Soul Hunting Operation, he should have thought of this day! But Lin Yuan is indeed troublesome..."

Thinking of this, Bibi Dong stopped what she was doing, and a wisp of dark purple energy condensed at her fingertips, which then slowly dissipated unwillingly.

"Pass down the order: secretly monitor the Heaven Dou Royal Academy and look for an opportunity. If possible, eliminate these two without exposing the Spirit Hall..."

Bibi Dong gripped the scepter tightly, her crimson eyes seemingly laced with poison, and said calmly, "At all costs."

Upon hearing this, Ghost glanced at Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan beside him, nodded slightly, and then turned and left.

Bibi Dong gazed in the direction of Wuhun City and whispered, "Nana... are you alright now?"

.........

Hu Liena has been in the Killing City for a year now. Not long ago, she met Tang Yin, who had also entered the Killing City.

However, to Hu Liena, who had seen Tang Yin's truly stunning appearance, Tang Yin was not outstanding at the moment; at most, he was just a Soul Master who possessed the Clear Sky Hammer.

If it weren't for the special status of the other party, the King of Slaughter would probably have already arranged for them to compete in the same match.

After all, none of the existing killing gods could be offended by him, especially that evil star Lin Yuan. Even now, when he thinks about it, the King of Slaughter still feels lingering fear.

The King of Slaughter rested his chin on his hand, looked at Tang San and Hu Liena in front of him, and said calmly, "I just received news that even if you pass the hundred matches, you will not be qualified to obtain what's inside."

Upon hearing this, Hu Liena frowned slightly, clearly knowing that the City of Slaughter contained the will of the God of Slaughter and that one could obtain the God of Slaughter's Domain.

But now the King of Slaughter is saying that they are not qualified to obtain the God of Slaughter Domain, which Hu Liena finds hard to accept.

"Why? We've already completed so many assessments, why aren't we allowed to receive the final reward?"

The King of Slaughter's crimson pupils contracted slightly, his fingers beneath his black robes unconsciously stroking the armrests of his throne, the metal clanging against his bones. Hu Liena's question echoed in the empty hall. Tang San stood beside her, the Clear Sky Hammer silently gathering in his palm, wary of any potential crisis.

"qualifications?"

The King of Slaughter's voice seemed to come from the deepest hell, hoarse and sickening, as he said, "There is no such thing as qualification in the City of Slaughter; only the strong can survive."

"And I forgot to tell you, the rules of the Killing City have changed, and I myself haven't changed them either, so you should be prepared for what's to come."

The King of Slaughter raised his hand and waved it, and blood-red patterns suddenly lit up the dome of the hall, with countless dark red dots converging in the air to form a blurry image.

When they saw the blurry, unreal figure, Tang San and Hu Liena were both startled.

That's because he was Lin Yuan, the teacher from the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy back then!
Lin Yuan stood with his hands behind his back in the center of the training ground, his aura sending chills down one's spine.

Hu Liena's breathing suddenly quickened: "Lin Yuan? What is his connection to the Killing God Domain?"

"Could it be... that he also obtained the Killing God Domain?"

Hu Liena subconsciously looked at Tang San, only to find that Tang Yin's gaze was fixed on the mysterious runes that were faintly visible behind Lin Yuan in the scene, his Adam's apple bobbing violently.

The King of Slaughter let out a sinister laugh: "Years ago, Lin Yuan single-handedly traversed the Hell Road and left his mark at the core of the God of Slaughter's Domain."

The temperature in the hall suddenly dropped, and dark red liquid seeped from the floor. "The current God of Slaughter Domain is no longer something you can touch. Even if you complete a hundred matches and force your way in, you will only be torn apart by the dual wills within the domain."

Tang San clenched his fists at his sides, memories of his past life flooding back. He remembered that in the original story, the God of Slaughter Domain was the key to Hu Liena's and his own breakthrough.

But now...

Tang San glanced at Hu Liena, who was pale-faced beside him, and suddenly realized that the world had already deviated from its original trajectory because of Lin Yuan's existence.

"Impossible!" Hu Liena staggered forward. "Lin Yuan is a Title Douluo powerhouse, why would he come back here? How is this possible..."

"Title Douluo?"

The King of Slaughter's voice suddenly rose, causing the blood-red crystal on the ceiling of the hall to rattle. "Why do you think he can make me wary? Twenty years ago, the legends he left behind in the City of Slaughter were bloodier than all of you combined!"

The pool of blood beneath the throne suddenly boiled, and countless pale arms emerged from it.

"He left behind a message: if anyone dares to encroach on his territory, no matter where they are, he will crush them to dust."

"Moreover, the items inside have already been selected and will not be given to anyone else. If you know what's good for you, complete the hundred matches and leave this place."

Tang San's pupils shrank sharply, and he finally understood why the King of Slaughter was so wary.

Lin Yuan is not only terrifying in strength, but even more frightening is his ruthlessness and decisiveness.

In this world where the strong rule, someone who can instill fear in even the King of Slaughter is capable of overturning any established order.
