Douluo: I Am Not an Evil Soul

Even though he was already in a sealed room, Hu Wansan remained silent when he mentioned the strange phenomenon in the city.

After looking around and confirming again and again that the doors and windows were closed, he whispered: "Master, please listen to me. This started 30 years ago."

"Thirty years ago, this city was not called Bafan Street. This city was no different from other cities in the Sun and Moon Empire. The people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the society was prosperous and developed."

"However, since the old city lord was transferred by the empire 30 years ago and the new city lord took office, the crime rate in the city has been increasing day by day. People are dying and escaping. The strange thing is that as long as they are not killing people and setting fires in front of the officers and soldiers, They don’t care about these things at all, and even deliberately indulge in these things.”

"Gradually, more and more fugitives came here to avoid being wanted by the government or to avoid being pursued by their enemies. This place gradually became what it is now."

"Later, as more and more people died, people gradually discovered that the ground here could actually absorb the blood of humans and spirit beasts. For 30 years, the earth has been like an endless dry sponge. No matter how much blood it absorbs, it can never reach the level of To saturation. But as time goes by, more and more blood is absorbed, and the ground gradually deepens from white-gray at the beginning. Until now, the ground of the entire city is dark red."

"As for why we are not allowed to talk about this matter, it is a strict order from the Lord of the City. Anyone who disobeys will be put to death! But who is an ordinary person who can come here? How can he be restrained by others?"

"On the contrary, the less people want to talk about it, the more they have to talk about it. Until that happens,,,"

Speaking of this, after 30 years, Hu Wansan still seemed a little scared: "I remember that in just a few days, countless corpses were thrown on the streets in the city every day. Without exception, all of them died in public places. People who talked about this matter said that the corpses almost covered the streets and alleys of the city. No one dared to collect the corpses. After the blood of the corpses was sucked dry by the earth, they became mummies. Until a month later, the city lord's escort team Only after these mummies were disposed of. Since then, people have realized the terror of the Lord of the City, and no one dares to openly disobey the Lord of the City's rules."

"As for where the blood went after it was absorbed by the earth? What it was used for, I'm afraid only the city lord himself knows."

The more Xue Tong listened, the more horrified he felt. This was not Bafan Street. It was clearly a mass grave that ate people without spitting out their bones.

Asked: "Don't the officials of the Sun and Moon Empire care about it?"

"Then what's there to worry about? Nine out of ten people who come here have committed crimes anyway. Even if a few unlucky people accidentally enter, it won't be able to shake the people of the Sun and Moon Empire. So the Sun and Moon Empire is happy with the people here. Killing each other.”

Xuetong asked again: "If this place is so dangerous, why are there so many people?"

"I said, although it is dangerous here, it is also a paradise. As long as you have the strength, you can ignore the laws of the empire. As long as you don't touch the Lord of the City, you can do whatever you want. Anyone who can come here, No one is a normal person, either a desperate fugitive or a madman."

Xue Tong smiled, and suddenly felt that what he said seemed to make sense. From a normal person's point of view, it was impossible for this place to continue, but this was not a place for normal people to come.

Xue Tong thought for a while and then asked: "Isn't it possible that no one has been curious about this phenomenon for so many years? Absorbing blood is generally the cultivation method of evil soul masters."

"Of course some people are curious, and indeed many people speculate that the City Lord is an evil soul master. Although in other places on the mainland, it may be difficult for evil soul masters to establish themselves openly, but here, in Bafan Street, even if everyone knows that the City Lord It doesn't matter that you are an evil soul master."

"Oh~" Xue Tong nodded thoughtfully, but he had made the first impression.

"Okay, you go down. I've been busy all night and I'm tired. I want to rest." Xue Tong ordered.

"Yes, sir."

"Oh, by the way, don't call me father, my surname is blood. The blood of blood." Xuetong said.

"Yes, Lord Blood."

Xuetong stood up and walked into the back room. Of course he wasn't going to sleep, he just wanted to be alone.

. .

Originally, Xue Tong just wanted to find a city to rest.I didn't expect to encounter such a strange place.Although he has mastered the mystery of the cycle of life and death, and can even absorb the energy in the bodies of living beings at will, this behavior is not completely beneficial, because whether it is a soul beast, a soul master, or even an ordinary person.

After being killed, most of the blood, soul power, and mental power in the body contain endless resentment. This resentment will confuse the consciousness of the soul master who absorbs this energy. If his spiritual cultivation is not enough to control himself, he may even You will lose yourself.

In addition, regardless of any soul master, there are more or less impurities in his soul power and flesh and blood. When absorbing his dead energy, he will also absorb those impurities into his own body. If things go on like this, it will even cause the meridians to be blocked and the soul to be mixed. .

If the city lord is really an evil soul master and relies on the blood of soul masters to practice, then so much blood of soul masters should have made him insane.

So Xue Tong wanted to know what this mysterious city lord was doing, and how he solved the problem of backlash that devoured the cultivation method.

...

The next day, Xuetong walked around Xicheng Street seemingly aimlessly.

Under the blue sky and white sun, the crimson earth looked even worse than yesterday. It seemed that after walking for a long time, even the soles of the shoes were stained with a faint smell of blood. In this environment, it was easy for soul masters to have disputes or even fights.

Xuetong only spent an hour wandering around the west city and saw more than ten fights, including a sneak attack by a soul master.

However, the opponent was only a second-level soul master without a soul guide. After the sneak attack failed, he committed suicide before Xue Tong could capture him!

There were comments from passers-by: "This guy is really an idiot. Didn't he notice the level of soul power fluctuations in that person's body? It's obviously the soul power fluctuations of the fourth ring. He dares to sneak attack as a two-ring great soul master. He is really looking for death. .”

Another person responded: "He owes a large amount of gambling debt, and it is less than half an hour before the debt is repaid. It is probably because he is young and has no experience in the world, so he wants to make a splash."

. . .

The conversation between the two was as if they were talking about family matters, and they did not shy away from Xue Tong at the side.

Because the probability of being unexpectedly attacked in the city is too high, most soul masters usually keep their soul power running when living in the city to prepare for unexpected events.

Therefore, Xue Tong and the two passers-by could clearly detect each other's general cultivation level.

Of course, this has to exclude the situation where someone pretends to be a pig and eats the tiger. He is obviously in the Soul King realm, but he only shows the soul power fluctuations at the Soul Lord level. When someone makes a sneak attack, he suddenly exerts his force and retaliates in the same way.

In Bafan Street, even this kind of situation of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger is not rare.
