Douluo Continent: Starting from Awakening the Vermilion Bird Martial Soul

They were all exceptional talents, so they could naturally suppress their killing intent. However, they could no longer stay in this place.

They are now at the very bottom of Hell Road, with no way forward but upward.

"The exit is up there."

Tang Hao pointed upwards, where there was a cave entrance about two hundred meters away from them.

"It's not easy to get on board." Bibi Dong frowned.

Of the three, only Di Hong could fly; neither she nor Tang Hao could. The surrounding area was an endless pool of blood; falling in would mean certain death. The walls around them were also incredibly steep, almost vertical.

It will take a lot of effort to get up there.

Just then, Di Hong took out a rope from his soul tool.

"I'll take you flying up there."

At this moment, the advantage of a Soul Master with the ability to fly became apparent. He tied the middle of the rope around his waist and then handed both ends to Tang Hao and Bibi Dong.

The two of them also tied the rope around their waists, and then Di Hong led them towards the cave entrance.

As they entered the cave, the three felt their killing intent being drawn to them by something. Then, a white light screen appeared before them, and Di Hong entered it without hesitation.

After entering the light curtain, the three found themselves in a vast white space, surrounded by nothingness; there was nothing but white.

At the same time, the three of them felt an extremely cold sensation. This coldness did not come from the outside in, but from the inside out. This chill was formed by killing intent, and their killing intent was forming a domain.

When they regained consciousness, they found themselves in a valley. Looking around, the scenery was beautiful, with birds singing and flowers blooming, but it was filled with a strong murderous aura that could not be concealed no matter how hard they tried.

Feeling himself, he could now unleash his soul skill.

Di Hong was certain that they had left the City of Slaughter.

Released with its martial spirit, the Vermilion Bird's resounding cry echoed throughout the valley, causing all birds to bow their heads in homage.

He could sense a slight difference in his martial soul; a hint of ferocity had crept into its sacred aura, which must be the effect of the Killing God Domain.

Just then, a murderous aura swept towards him, and Di Hong's gaze sharpened as he also unleashed his own murderous aura.

The two murderous auras collided and quickly dissipated.

Tang Hao approached Di Hong.

"This is the Domain of the God of Slaughter. It is indeed extraordinary."

"Where is Bibi Dong?" Di Hong asked.

Tang Hao shrugged slightly.

"They've left; they were picked up by the Spirit Hall."

Not long after he regained consciousness, he saw the people from the Spirit Hall leave with Bibi Dong.

Although they also spotted Tang Hao, they did not take action against him.

"What, you're smitten just because she's pretty? I'm warning you, you already have my sister, so don't get any funny ideas, or my brother and I won't let you off the hook with our Clear Sky Hammers." Tang Hao put his arm around Di Hong's shoulder, feigning a threat.

Di Hong gave him the middle finger.

"You're overthinking it. I have no feelings for her."

"Brother Hao, Di Hong." A familiar voice came, and the two looked in the direction of the voice, only to see Tang Xiao walking towards them.

"Big brother is here to pick us up, let's go." Tang Hao walked towards Tang Xiao.

Seeing the two of them emerge safely, Tang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief. He had come several times over the past two years, but without any success. Fortunately, they were out now, and a weight had been lifted from his heart.

Tang Hao recounted the situation in the Slaughter City to Tang Xiao in a very relaxed tone.

With Di Hong around, their journey through Hell Road was incredibly easy; otherwise, that ten-headed Fiery Sun Serpent alone would have been enough to give them a hard time.

Tang Xiao listened quietly to him, and then the three of them left and returned to Tiandou City.

After two years of training, Di Hong had gained a lot. Looking back at the mountain behind him, he had thought that the City of Slaughter was underground, but now it seemed that the City of Slaughter should be in the mountains.

Chapter 102 Return to Heavenly Battle City

Chapter 102 Return to Tiandou City

Two years is neither a short nor a long time.

During his two years in the Killing City, Di Hong did only one thing: kill. Every day he was either killing or on his way to kill. When he left the Killing City, he even had a feeling that the world was so beautiful, but he killed people every day. What was the point of it?

However, the Di family's great cause must continue.

He was thoroughly fed up with killing.

This time he was determined. After returning to Tiandou City, he would cultivate his mind and body and work hard in his training. He had no intention of killing anyone unless absolutely necessary.

In the days that followed, there were basically no major events that concerned him. He only needed to lie low and hide himself well, cooperating with the kingdom in infiltrating the empire, especially the imperial army, within Tiandou City.

The Royal Knights couldn't infiltrate, but that doesn't mean other armies can't, especially the Royal Guard. There are people planted and secretly recruited by the Kingdom within the Royal Guard, but these people can't be used now; it's not the right time.

In the future, he will have to cooperate with that 'Crown Prince Xue Qinghe' and use her and the Spirit Hall to remove those obstacles.

A month later, he returned to Tiandou City.

Two years have passed, and basically nothing has changed. The Heavenly Dou Empire is still the same Heavenly Dou Empire, and Heavenly Dou City is still the same Heavenly Dou City. Since Xue Ye ascended the throne, the empire has not undergone any major changes, despite his ambition and drive.

However, the empire's deep-seated problems cannot be changed overnight.

The resistance encountered on the snowy night was extraordinary, coming not only from the central government but also from local authorities and even the military.

He wanted to change the status quo of the army, to promote capable and diligent generals and to remove incompetent nobles, but the resistance was too great, and his progress was very slow, almost like a snail crawling.

He now understands how difficult it must have been for his father back then.

Xue Tang's edges were worn down by time, and his heart to revitalize the empire died with each failure. But Xue Ye was different; he hadn't experienced too many failures, and his heart remained steadfast.

Moreover, his situation is much better than Xue Tang's. Besides the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, he also has Di Hong by his side. When Di Hong breaks through to the Title Douluo level, if anyone dares to disobey, he will simply release Di Hong to bite them.

Even if you're tough, can you really be tougher than a Title Douluo?

He can afford to wait.

Upon returning to the Marquis's mansion and seeing that Di Hong had come back, Tang Yuehua, who had been eagerly awaiting his return every day, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"You are finally back."

For the past two years, she has been worried about Di Hong every day. The Killing City is too dangerous; a moment's carelessness could mean certain death. Although she trusts Di Hong, she can't help but worry.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine." He pulled Tang Yuehua into his arms to comfort her.

Behind him, Tang Hao cleared his throat.

"Yuehua, don't you care about your second brother?"

These two are going too far. They're showing off their affection right in front of him and Tang Xiao, hugging each other. Their saccharine love is disgusting.

Women will only slow him down when he's swinging the sledgehammer.

Tang Yuehua glanced at Tang Hao.

"It's good that Second Brother is alright."

Tang Hao couldn't help but roll his eyes. They say that once a sister is married, she's like water spilled from a cup. This girl hasn't even gotten married yet, and the water's already been spilled on someone else's property.

"Alright, you two can continue chatting. I'm going to rest."

After saying that, he left. Tang Xiao smiled and shook his head, then also left so as not to delay the young couple. After all, they hadn't seen each other for two years, and they needed to give each other some space.

Di Hong and Tang Yuehua arrived at the garden pavilion and listened to Tang Yuehua tell him about the events of the past two years.

In the past two years, not many major events have occurred. The only notable event was that Ning Fengzhi, the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, broke through to the Soul Saint level, which meant that his cultivation path had come to an end. Also, the Star Luo Empire invaded the border, but no large-scale war broke out between the two sides.

The invasion of the Star Luo Empire was quickly repelled.

Nothing much happened inside the Marquis's mansion.

Although Di Hong has no real power, he holds a high position, and given his talent, the Marquis's mansion is a highly sought-after place, with countless people wanting to cultivate a good relationship with him.

There's no harm in befriending a future Title Douluo.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School announced that Emperor Hong was their honorary elder, which greatly enhanced the school's status. Although it was not as prestigious as the Haotian School, not many forces dared to provoke it.

Furthermore, the relationship between the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the royal family has become increasingly close, and even the Haotian Sect has improved its relationship with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School because of Emperor Hong.

Ning Fengzhi used swift and decisive measures to quell the elders within the sect who wanted to seize power. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is no longer the sect that was beset by internal and external troubles.

The sect is thriving.

Tang Yuehua handled all the affairs of the Marquis's mansion. At the same time, she also developed some businesses to increase the wealth of the Marquis's mansion. She moved between various forces with ease, and her cultivation did not suffer.

With Tang Yuehua in charge of the Marquis's Mansion, Di Hong had nothing to worry about; he could simply continue to be a hands-off manager.

After she finished speaking, she suddenly frowned. The murderous aura and bloodlust emanating from Di Hong were too strong, especially the murderous aura, which was too intense and made her very uncomfortable.

"Can't you control your murderous aura?"

Di Hong shook his head: "It will take some time to control."

Tang Yuehua didn't say anything, but directly released her domain. Soft golden ripples appeared, and the killing intent emanating from Di Hong's body instantly dissipated, just like a mouse seeing a cat.

Her domain has a strong ability to suppress killing intent, and the God of Slaughter's domain is completely countered by her domain.
