Chapter 397 (2/2)

They took a detour around the area where they sensed a battle was happening and approached the city gate. Standing before the city gate, they could see a towering wall riddled with scars of battle. The wall had bathed in so much blood it now emanated a primordial stench of blood, one that could easily provoke the bloodl.u.s.t in a person.

Standing on the city wall were mighty guards armed with tough armors and s.h.i.+ny weapons. They were filled with vitality, their presence imposing. They were part of the local faction from the city hall, and the ongoing personal battles did not bother them. They were only standing guard to ensure the actual rules of the city were not violated and to ensure not a single devil could escape to the outside world.

Above the city gate was a dreadful, b.l.o.o.d.y, and striking word: Bloodsin.

For some reason, the moment Xiang Shaoyun arrived, he could feel his blood boiling and his Nether Soul Domain pulsing unceasingly, as if something was resonating with him, making it increasingly hard for him to stay calm. He forced himself to calm down before following Devouring Ghost into the city.

Before entering, each of them had to pay a fee of 1,000 mid-grade spirit crystals. With such an expensive price tag, it would be extremely hard for a regular cultivator to even gain entry into the city.

After entering, the first thing Xiang Shaoyun saw was numerous people charging everywhere they wished on their mounts, not at all caring for the well-being of the pedestrians. Every now and then, weak cultivators could be seen being either stomped, knocked, or bitten to death. n.o.body batted an eye.

Instead, the belongings of the dead were immediately plundered by the others in the area. A fight would even break out over the belongings, causing more blood to flow. Something like this happened almost on a daily basis, so the people were already used to it.

Several figures suddenly rushed at Xiang Shaoyun's group. From how they were dressed, they were probably Skeleton Gang members as well.

”Lord Badar, you're back. So what kind of fat lamb have you slaughtered this time?” respectfully asked the fourth-stage Emperor leading the group of newcomers.

”Screw you. I met a few old friends of mine. We are going to catch up for a bit. Move on,” said Badar unhesitatingly.

”Lord Badar, we did not wish to disturb you either, but the leader has convened everyone to an emergency meeting. I am here to notify you about it,” said the fourth-stage Emperor named Jin Ji.

”Why is the leader convening a meeting?” Badar asked.

”No idea, but I think it has something to do with the two beauties of the Han Clan,” said Jin Ji.

”Alright. Leave first. I'll be there shortly,” said Badar. Jin Ji and the others did not dare to dally, and they quickly left.

”Master, I await your decision,” said Badar respectfully.

”Just go back for now,” said Xiang Shaoyun. Inwardly, he thought, Perhaps taking over this Skeleton Gang will be advantageous for me to establish a foothold in this city.
