Thousand Moon Dragon...

thousand...

The King of Slaughter's eyes became unfathomable, the chill that had been gathering dissipated somewhat, and his fingertips began to tap rhythmically on the armrest: "If you, the Holy Maiden, can remain seated here forever, then you are indeed qualified to say such a thing."

As everyone knows, the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall is the designated next Pope.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Qian Yuelong will become the new Pope of the Spirit Hall in the future, and she is indeed qualified to represent the position of the entire Spirit Hall.

Thinking of this, the King of Slaughter nodded slightly: "Tell me, how do you want to cooperate?"

Qian Yuelong smiled, her clear, pale purple eyes instantly turning frosty.

The divine realm "Moon Abyss" was activated, and with Qian Yuelong's clear voice ringing out, the pale divine realm instantly swallowed the entire Hell Palace.

"I want to speak with the esteemed His Majesty behind you."

A vast divinity filled his eyes, and the air was filled with a sacred aura that made the King of Slaughter frown.

But it's not a clash of ice and fire, but rather a different kind of pure, serene, and ethereal atmosphere.

It was cold and deep, like a bottomless abyss, and the restlessness and murderous intent in my heart froze in the chill.

"Mutant Domain?"

The King of Slaughter, now on someone else's territory, scrutinized the audacious human before him, a dangerous, bloodthirsty smile curving his lips: "Qian Yuelong, is that it? Do you know what you're saying?"

Crimson light erupted from the King of Slaughter's eyes, the heavy stench of blood polluting the air within the divine realm. A chilling killing intent coalesced into a single point, the viscous air choking the throat, making it impossible to breathe.

However, just as the foul aura was about to touch Qian Yuelong, the golden wing pattern between Qian Yuelong's eyebrows shone brightly.

"Buzz—!"

The pale golden light covered Qian Yuelong like a protective film, keeping out the sticky malice.

Facing the murderous king with overwhelming killing intent, Qian Yuelong remained unfazed:

“I have another identity, which you may wish to hear. Besides being the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, I am also the Angel God’s representative on the Douluo Continent. My visit to the City of Slaughter is also at the behest of the Angel God.”

"Angel God?" The King of Slaughter repeated the word in an ambiguous tone, the blood-red light in his eyes tinged with a deep black, flowing quietly in those inhuman eyes. When he spoke again, his deep voice had some other mixed sounds, like the murmur of several voices, which subtly changed the King of Slaughter's aura.

Qian Yuelong thought to herself, "They've arrived," and her expression turned serious, her eyes showing a hint of caution.

If the first encounter with the King of Slaughter was like scalding blood bathed in flames, with thick killing intent burning like an inextinguishable fire, then the current King of Slaughter is a cold, azure flame, bringing icy death wherever it burns.

"Why did He send you here?"

The cold, overlapping sounds were like a black snake coiling around a neck, its icy tongue brushing against the cheek, bringing a chill that sent shivers down one's spine.

Although it was only a wisp of divine thought that descended, a terrifying pressure still descended upon this divine realm.

The trace of divine power left by the angel god on Qian Yuelong resonated with the [Traces of Light], offsetting the pressure of a wisp of divine thought descending from the Rakshasa God.

At this moment, Qian Yuelong was very glad that she had opened her divine domain to encompass this space; otherwise, it would have been bad if the Asura God, the true master of the Slaughter City Trial Grounds, had noticed.

"I don't know much about the relationships between the gods, but I think it's always better to have one more ally than one more powerful enemy, right?"

Qian Yuelong sincerely analyzed, "Look, the successor to the divine position you have chosen now... is my mother. At least now you and I are on the same side, aren't we? As for His Majesty the Angel God... no matter who His Majesty the Angel God ultimately chooses to succeed him, it will not be someone outside the Spirit Hall. In a sense, the two of you can become allies."

"As for the master of this place... I don't know what your past is with Him. But the original owner of this body you've descended into was His chosen successor to the divine position. Since you chose to interfere and disrupt, your relationship with Him must not be good. Coincidentally, the sect of the original owner of this body is also opposed to my Spirit Hall, but there is no other conflict."

"Then how about... finding a new successor for His divine position?"

The Rakshasa God's aura faltered, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face, which exuded a strong inhuman quality.

Qian Yuelong enthusiastically recommended it to her dear companion:

“I have a companion who I think would be a good fit for giving it a try.”

“His name is Xie Yue, codename ‘Red Moon’. Although he hasn’t participated in as many matches in the Killing Arena as I have, he is currently on a 37-match winning streak. You must have ‘seen’ his performance in the Killing Arena. He’s a very talented prospect.”

"Moreover, if I'm not mistaken, Tang Chen's current state can be considered a failure of the test. Once you and your companions leave this body, his remaining lifespan will not be long, and death is only a matter of time. Before truly inheriting the divine position, the successor can be rotated. If my companion successfully takes over, the three gods will all be allies in the future."

"Even if you fail... angels and demons won't be enemies, you won't lose anything, what do you think?"

The pace of the negotiations was completely controlled by Qian Yuelong.

Rakshasa God narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing Qian Yuelong. His terrifying black-red eyes closed, and the oppressive aura in the air gradually dissipated, indicating that Rakshasa God's divine consciousness was being withdrawn from his body.

"Let's wait until that kid reaches 100 wins."

Qian Yuelong smiled and said, "Then I'll take it as your agreement."

She secured the opportunity for Xie Yue; the rest is up to Xie Yue himself.

......

Two years is not a long time, but it's enough for a lot to happen.

Xie Yue spent two years achieving a hundred-game winning streak in the Hell Slaughter Arena, amidst the envious and bewildered gazes of others.

As agreed, the retinue that now controls Tang Chen's body will, in the name of the King of Slaughter, appoint Xie Yue as the first in line to succeed the King of Slaughter.

As a control-type Soul Master, Hu Liena is not a pure attack-type Soul Master, so her progress is slower than Xie Yue's. However, she still achieved a winning streak of 84 games. She watched as Xie Yue, under the guidance of Qian Yuelong and with the tacit approval of the King of Slaughter, began to interfere in the affairs of Slaughter City.

Then Yue Guan received a letter from Qian Yuelong, who was supposed to cut off all contact with the outside world after entering the City of Slaughter.

Yue Guan: "......"

Okay, he probably knows why the Killing City's ground base suddenly changed.

So, he took Qian Yuelong's letter to see Bibi Dong.

After reading it, Bibi Dong, seeing Yue Guan's completely unsurprised expression, immediately convened an emergency high-level meeting that very night.

They discussed three things: the original plan to send their prodigy to the City of Slaughter for training in order to gain access to the God of Slaughter's Domain, the sudden change in the order of succession to the King of Slaughter, the reason for the sudden change in the ground outpost, and the instructions in the letter sent back by Qian Yuelong.

—A side note—

We're working hard to speed things up; the latest we can start is the Soul Hunting Operation the day after tomorrow.
