Chapter 42 Unification of the World, Heading to the City of Slaughter
"The Star Luo Empire? Hmm, this is indeed the Star Luo Empire. But so what?"
Bibi Dong, dressed in imperial robes, suddenly appeared before Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo, accompanied by Qiu Hou Gong and Qian Ren Xue. A terrifying aura unique to level 99 peerless Douluo emanated from Bibi Dong's captivating body. "What I see is my land. Do you have any objections?"
"Peerless Douluo?! She has actually reached such a level?!"
Feeling the terrifying aura emanating from Bibi Dong, Dai Zhongli broke out in a cold sweat, and his initial resolve to fight her vanished completely. "The Star Luo Empire has no objection."
"No objections!" x320
The court officials echoed this sentiment, noting that while many of them were unaware of Bibi Dong's current strength, the aura she exuded and Dai Zhongli's performance suggested that Bibi Dong's power had undoubtedly reached an incredibly terrifying level.
Seeing that Dai Zhongli had submitted, Bibi Dong, who ignored them, reached out and pulled Zhu Zhuqing, who was standing behind the group of women, to her side. She gently patted Zhu Zhuqing's small hand and said softly, "Zhuqing, you can do what you want to do without worry. With your sister here, none of them will dare to make a move."
"Thank you sister."
Zhu Zhuqing expressed her gratitude.
"No need to thank me, we're all family..."
Bibi Dong smiled and said, "Go ahead."
"Ah."
Zhu Zhuqing nodded, then activated her martial spirit and walked towards Zhu Lie, who was also looking at her.
"Zhu Zhuqing, what are you doing?! I am your father!"
Seeing the seven soul rings surrounding Zhu Zhuqing and the coldness in her eyes, Zhu Lie knew he was about to face a great calamity and hurriedly shouted.
"Father? You only know you're my father now?"
Zhu Zhuqing walked slowly to Zhu Lie, staring intently at him, and said, "When I suffered in the Zhu family and was targeted by others, why didn't you say you were my father? When I was being chased by Zhu Zhuyun, why didn't you say you were my father?!"
"These are all rules passed down from our family ancestors, and I have no power to change them."
Zhu Lie explained.
"Rules? Fine, then tell me, why are you so good to Zhu Zhuyun? Giving her a transfer order and preparing so many resources to help her cultivate? Just because she's a few years older than me?"
Zhu Zhuqing grabbed Zhu Lie's collar with both hands and continued to ask.
"..."
This time, Zhu Lie remained silent because he hadn't really paid much attention to Zhu Zhuqing before. After all, Zhu Zhuyun had shown excellent abilities and had the powerful support of the eldest prince, Davis. So, in Zhu Lie's previous view, Zhu Zhuyun would definitely win the final victory and become the new head of the Zhu family.
"Ha, it seems I was right. In that case, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Seeing that Zhu Lie did not answer, Zhu Zhuqing, who already knew what was going on, raised her cat paw and gave Zhu Lie a good beating.
A dozen minutes later, Zhu Zhuqing released her martial spirit possession, while Zhu Lie was already lying on the ground, unable to move.
"Zhuqing, it's alright, I'm here..."
Walking quickly to Zhu Zhuqing's side, Qiu Hougong reached out and hugged her while saying to Ju and Gui Douluo, "Grandpa Ju, Grandpa Gui, please take these people away first."
"Yes, Your Highness!" x2
Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo spoke in unison, and then they led Dai Zhongli, Zhu Lie, and the others away from the main hall...
Time flies like an arrow, and three months have passed in the blink of an eye.
In these three months, the Dai and Zhu families, the two most powerful families in the Star Luo Empire, completely disappeared from the land of Douluo Continent. Dai Mubai, Davis, and Zhu Zhuyun were personally executed by Zhu Zhuqing.
At the same time, all officials, from top to bottom, of the Star Luo Empire were replaced by members of the Divine Martial Empire, who had been secretly cultivated. Thus, the Douluo Continent entered an era of unprecedented unification.
The Divine Martial Empire, the Emperor's Palace.
Sitting at the dining table, Qiu Hougong smiled and ate the food that Bibi Dong fed him. Then he said to the women around him, "My dear darlings, there is something I want to tell you."
"There's something... what is it?"
Liu Erlong poured Qiu Hougong a cup of wine from the wine pot, then asked softly.
"I want to go to the Killing City."
Qiu Hougong took a sip of the wine in his cup and replied.
"The City of Slaughter?" x2
Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue, who were about to serve food to Qiu Hougong, immediately put down their chopsticks and said in unison, "Little Qiu, what are you going there for?" Bibi Dong then spoke first, "Little Qiu, what are you going there for?"
"I learned from a book a couple of days ago that there is a divine legacy in the City of Slaughter, so I want to go there to see if it's true."
"I'll answer," Qiu Hougong replied. Actually, with the system around, Qiu Hougong didn't need to inherit the divine position at all, but for the sake of his women, he still had to go and collect them.
"The legacy of God?!" x17
Apart from Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue, all the other women shouted in unison.
"Xiao Qiu, is your information reliable?"
Hu Liena, who was sitting next to Bibi Dong, spoke up.
"It is indeed true..."
Bibi Dong answered for Qiu Hou Gong: "I have been to the City of Slaughter before, and there should be more than one divine lineage there."
"More than one lineage? That shouldn't be the case..."
Qian Renxue shook her head when she heard Bibi Dong's words, and then said, "As far as I know, if a place has a divine inheritance, then that place should only have one divine inheritance. How could there be multiple ones at the same time?"
"Yes, Xue'er, you're right..."
Bibi Dong nodded in agreement with Qian Renxue's words, but then explained, "Normally speaking, there is indeed one, but the location of the Slaughter City is somewhat special; it does indeed contain the inheritance of two gods."
"Who are those two gods?"
Huo Wu asked.
"Asura and Rakshasa..."
Bibi Dong replied, "When I went to the City of Slaughter, I originally wanted to train myself and see if I could obtain the inheritance of the Asura God. Unexpectedly, I didn't encounter the Asura God, but instead met the Rakshasa God."
Qiu Hougong hugged Bibi Dong tightly and then said, "So this time I went there to see if I could find the inheritance of the Asura God."
"Hmm, that's a good idea, but I want to go with you."
Bibi Dong nodded, then looked at Qiu Hougong and said.
"I want to go with you too."
"Me too."
……
The women all spoke up.
"Okay. Two days later, let's go to Tiandou City to pick up Ke'er and Rongrong. After that, we'll go to the Slaughter City together."
Qiu Hougong did not refuse, and then...
Two days later, Qiu Hougong led nineteen women—Bibi Dong, Xiao Wu, Qian Renxue, Tang Yuehua, Liu Erlong, Zhu Zhuqing, Hu Liena, Ling Yuan, Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, Huo Wu, Shui Bing'er, Shui Yue'er, Xue Wu, Ye Jiuge, Meng Yiran, Huo Xingying, Shui Yun, and Shui Jingyi—to Tiandou City to pick up Ning Rongrong and Xue Ke. Then, led by Bibi Dong, the group headed towards the City of Slaughter.
Half a day later, Qiu Hougong and his party stopped in front of a small town that was not very large.
"Is this the Killing City? It doesn't look like much."
Looking at the town not far away, Dugu Yan, standing next to Qiu Hougong, said with some disappointment.
"That's because you're only seeing the surface. The real killing capital isn't here."
Bibi Dong, on the other side of Qiu Hou Gong, laughed.
"Oh? Sister Dong'er, you mean this town in front of us is just a disguise, and we haven't seen the real killing city yet?"
Shui Bing'er spoke up.
“Bing’er, you’re right. This is just one entrance to the City of Slaughter.”
Bibi Dong nodded.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go inside quickly."
Shuiyue'er took Qiu Hougong's big hand and said.
"Okay, let's go."
Qiu Hougong said, and then the women followed Qiu Hougong toward the town.
Upon arriving in the town, the group, led by Bibi Dong, entered a tavern.
As soon as they entered, Qiu Hougong and his group attracted the attention of everyone in the tavern.
"This way, please..."
A waiter approached Qiu Hougong and his group, led them to two tables, and then asked with a smile, "What would you like to order?"
"We're not ordering anything..."
After glancing at the burly men around him whose eyes were gleaming with a peculiar light, Qiu Hougong, who had his arms around Xiao Wu and Bibi Dong, first twisted his neck before speaking, "Tell me, how do we enter the Killing Capital?"
"It's just you..."
Before the waiter could finish his question, Qiu Hougong's voice rang out again, "We all need to go in."
"What? He's actually bringing so many people into the Killing City? Isn't that like lambs to the slaughter?"
Upon hearing this, the waiter's expression changed, and he continued to say to Qiu Hougong, "The way to enter the Killing City is very simple. First, each of you must drink a Crimson Mary, and then you can enter when the Killing City opens at night."
"Hmm, so how do we get in if we don't drink it?"
Qiu Hougong looked at the waiter and said.
"You want to come in without drinking? Ha..."
The waiter gave a cold laugh, then tapped the table a few times with his left index finger and said, "Anyone who wants to enter the City of Slaughter must go through this process; no one can be exempt..."
Snapped!
A crisp slap echoed throughout the tavern. Qiu Hougong, having activated his Illusionary Armor Mode, slapped the waiter in front of him, sending him flying four or five meters away. He then quickly got up and dealt with all the burly men sitting in the tavern.
"Xiao Qiu, you're moving way too fast! At least let us move around a bit too."
Looking at the lifeless waiter, Liu Erlong puffed out her cheeks and said.
"Hehe, the way they looked at you was so disgusting, I couldn't help myself."
Qiu Hougong, now disarmed, chuckled at Liu Erlong.
"Alright, Erlong. You'll have plenty of opportunities to fight later..."
Bibi Dong stood up, smiled, patted Liu Erlong's shoulder, and then pointed to the bar area, saying, "This is the real entrance to the City of Slaughter. Xiao Qiu, shall we go in now?"
"Okay, Sister Dong'er, let's go."
Qiu Hougong nodded, then punched the bar counter, smashing it, and jumped down with Bibi Dong and the others.
Search!
Once back on the ground, Bibi Dong led Qiu Hougong and the others forward at a leisurely pace.
Three minutes later, Qiu Hougong and his group, who were walking and talking, arrived at a portal emitting a white light. Then, a cold voice suddenly came from both sides of the tunnel toward them, "Welcome to the City of Slaughter. This is the capital of hell, a world full of slaughter. Here, you can get anything you want, but the price you have to pay is your life!"
"Wow, this Killing City is pretty intimidating, isn't it, Xiao Qiu?"
Suddenly, Dugu Yan jumped from behind Qiu Hougong onto his back and said in a sweet voice. The other girls also seemed very relaxed and did not show any negative emotions because of the voice just now.
"Yes, Sister Yan, you're right."
Qiu Hougong responded with a smile, then carried her on his back and followed Bibi Dong into the portal.
After passing through the portal, 101 figures exuding murderous intent appeared in Qiu Hougong and the others' field of vision.
These hundred or so people were well-equipped, their entire bodies covered in black iron armor, including their faces.
"Sister Dong'er, if we want to enter the City of Slaughter, do we have to kill all these people?"
Glancing at the hundred soldiers wielding heavy swords and the black-armored knight riding a heavily armored warhorse, Liu Erlong, standing beside Bibi Dong, said to her with some excitement.
"That's right, this time you can kill to your heart's content."
Bibi Dong nodded and smiled.
"Okay, Xiao Qiu, please keep track of the time for me and see how long it will take me to deal with them."
With a surge of fighting spirit, Liu Erlong twisted his wrist and then charged quickly toward the black-armored knight wielding a spear.
Bang!
As the sound of collision rang out, Liu Erlong, who had already completed the possession of his martial spirit, grabbed the black-armored knight who was using his spear to block him and split him in two. Then, he quickly dealt with the remaining hundred soldiers.
"Xiao Qiu, how long did it take me?"
After Liu Erlong removed the martial spirit possession, he walked up to Qiu Hougong and asked.
"Fifteen seconds."
Qiu Hougong replied with a smile.
"Hmm, not bad..."
Liu Erlong nodded, then waved the several black tokens he had taken from the black-armored knight and asked Bibi Dong, "Sister Dong'er, what are these for? Should we keep them?"
"These signs are proof that we are in the Killing City, so they are still somewhat useful."
Bibi Dong spoke up.
"Oh, I see..."
Liu Erlong nodded, then handed all the name tags to Qiu Hougong and said with a smile, "Little Qiu, I'm leaving the task of distributing name tags to everyone to you."
"Okay, leave it to me."
Qiu Hougong answered with a smile, then picked up the plaques and put them on the women.
A minute later, Qiu Hougong and the others, having put on their signs, set off towards the black city not far away, which was shrouded in the light emitted by a purple moon.
Upon arriving at the city gate, Qiu Hougong and his companions, who possessed identification tokens, entered the city without any hindrance.
As they entered the city and casually observed their surroundings, a slightly seductive voice suddenly came from the shadows, "Welcome to the City of Slaughter."
