Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 1261 Imperial City Showdown: The Winner Takes All (6K)

The next moment, as if springs were installed under its feet, a flying zombie suddenly leaped back to its trainer, its bloodthirsty eyes flashing with hatred.

This is one of the few remaining spiritualities of this flying zombie, its deepest hatred for its trainer.

"What do you think you're doing? Get out of my way! Get out of my way! Corpse puppet control! Corpse puppet control!"

The evil spirit master retreated a few steps in fear, frantically trying to summon his spirit ring and use his corpse puppet control skill, but to no avail.

Huo Yuhao did not immediately end these chaotic events. Those corpse puppets and vengeful spirits that were forcibly created were also suffering. They deserved a chance to settle their scores and grievances.

In Xingluo, in Douling, and even on the ruins of the Heavenly Soul Empire, wherever there was a large population, people had already set up Soul Guide screening stalls early on.

Each screening booth was staffed with one or two narrators who, while adjusting the projector, would also use a brochure to explain to the audience the crimes committed by the decapitated evil spirit elders.

All of this information was revealed by Long Xiaoyao. According to the core ledger of the Holy Spirit Cult, all the sordid deeds of the evil elders and worshippers can be fully exposed.

In cities, in villages, in squares, and in wastelands, small film screening stalls were set up one after another.

Many townspeople who came to watch the film were so angry when they heard the horrifying things that they beat their chests and stamped their feet.

At the ruins of the Heavenly Soul Empire, the people who had been hiding and struggling to survive were all moved to tears after seeing the footage shown at the screening booth.

"alright."

In just a few minutes, over a thousand of the nine thousand or so evil spirit masters in the imperial city had died.

With a snap of his fingers, Huo Yuhao froze the bloodthirsty corpse puppets, vengeful spirits, and other undead beings created through ritual in mid-air.

"Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt its debtor. Since you have fulfilled your long-cherished wishes, I will send you to be reincarnated. As for the remaining evil spirit masters, I still have a use for them."

Most of the undead beings who were being trained seemed to understand Huo Yuhao's words at this moment, and the resentment in their eyes, which had been so intense for years, actually dissipated somewhat.

However, a small number of the dead, consumed by anger, could not suppress their murderous intent.

"These remaining evil spirit masters will stay behind to earn money. They can choose to live in the inner city and choose one form of torture to be inflicted on them each month in exchange for a month of respite."

"Alternatively, you can choose to re-enter the Imperial City, sign up for the Killing Arena, and fight to the last moment against the other side of the participants. Only one person can survive, and the surviving evil spirit master can enjoy a full month of freedom."

"Alternatively, they can choose to participate in the monthly Royal City Battle Royale. Out of a hundred people, only ten can grab the survival token and survive for more than half an hour with the token. Only then will they be eligible to win the game and enjoy themselves here for the rest of the year."

"These evil soul masters will become the most sought-after star players in the future of the Sun Moon Empire. Many people are betting heavily on them, gambling on their lives."

"And we are responsible for running the operation and taking a cut of the profits. We will use this money to compensate the families of the survivors who were harmed by the evil spirit masters. Until they die, they will be the best money-making tools here for all eternity. This is also the greatest punishment for them."

"Within the imperial city, they can freely unleash their madness. As long as they have enough strength, they can enjoy many pleasures that they cannot experience outside."

"Those noble families and powerful clans that I have trapped here, who instigated the Sun Moon Empire to launch a war, will become servants here and will never be able to leave. This is my punishment for them."

"As for weak evil spirit masters, they can go to the inner city where fighting is prohibited, and rely on enduring different tortures every month to prolong their lives until they die in obscurity due to increasingly severe injuries."

"By the way, the inner city won't offer any entertainment or service staff; all they'll be have are undead guards to prevent them from escaping."

"As for the name of this place, it is both a paradise where evil spirit masters derive pleasure from killing, and a place where they atone for their sins through killing—let's call it the City of Slaughter."

After saying this, Huo Yuhao didn't say anything more.

And most of the undead beings that had been trained by evil spirit masters finally showed a look of liberation in their eyes.

Wisps of golden flames rose from beneath their feet; these were the purifying flames that Huo Yuhao had lit for them.

One after another, clusters of faith power, completely different from what he had experienced before, merged into Huo Yuhao's body.

Huo Yuhao looked at the specks of light flying in from all directions. These specks of light did not only come from the purified undead creatures in front of him, but also seemed to come from other sources.

They seem to come from every corner of the entire Douluo Continent!

[King of Slaughter], [The Merciful and Iron-Faced Judge], [The Living Ancestor of Evil Soul Masters].

All sorts of strange descriptions of Huo Yuhao flowed into his body through the power of faith.

This is completely different from the power of faith he once gained by demonstrating the holy power of angels.

However, when he possessed these two completely different powers of faith within his body, these powers of faith, which Huo Yuhao had always considered to be of little use, actually showed signs of being digested by Huo Yuhao.

Yes, it's not about integrating and storing, but about digesting.

It felt like hot oil meeting solid ice. They were fine separately, but the moment they touched, they exploded and sizzled.

Huo Yuhao raised his hand and made a gesture, which Nana immediately understood.

"You have three days to adapt to everything here. The rules here are basically the same as those in the Killing City ten thousand years ago, but there are also differences."

"But you only need to understand one thing: this Slaughter City, just like the Slaughter City of ten thousand years ago, does not allow the use of soul skills. It is a good place to imprison you beasts in human skin."

"Now that you're here, start enjoying yourself. Your average lifespan won't exceed three years. Less than 10% of you will survive to the tenth year in the Killing City."

"Our Soul Hall will cooperate with Shrek Academy. After our Soul Hall has established its own criteria for judging evil soul masters, we will continuously capture evil soul masters from the Douluo Continent and send them here."

Nana smiled radiantly, but the evil spirit masters below felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave. Their eyes were wide open as if they were about to bulge out, and they nervously turned around, not daring to make a single extra sound.

"There's no need to worry about us accidentally harming ordinary Soul Masters. Soul Masters who possess common evil Soul Master martial souls but have never intentionally harmed anyone will not be sent to the Slaughter City after verification."

"Soul Masters like this can even come to us to receive a special evil soul master martial soul correction fund. Those who need to drink blood to become stronger can try chicken blood or pig blood. Those who need a soul to become stronger can start by digging up ant nests."
