As time went on, Jiang Xiaofeng's deductions became increasingly accurate, because the name Tang Yin never appeared among his opponents.
Meanwhile, Tang Yin's victories were accelerating. In fact, he was fighting more matches each month than Jiang Xiaofeng and Hu Liena combined, which annoyed Jiang Xiaofeng.
"Honorable Slaughter Envoy, why does Tang Yin get to compete in the arena more often than we do? Isn't this a bit biased?"
The Slaughter Envoy said indifferently, "You should know that the entire City of Slaughter belongs to the Slaughter King. No one dares to stop him from doing what he wants. Do you understand now?"
Jiang Xiaofeng finally understood. It seemed the Slaughter King wanted to help Tang Yin accumulate victories quickly.
However, after Jiang Xiaofeng's repeated requests, the Slaughter Envoy agreed to increase Jiang Xiaofeng and Hu Liena's arena match frequency.
That turned out to be the case, but Jiang Xiaofeng found that as time went on, the number of arena matches they got was still very, very few.
Even though Jiang Xiaofeng had sought out the Slaughter Envoy several times, nothing changed. Jiang Xiaofeng and Hu Liena were still waiting for Tang Yin's results.
"Damn that Tang Yin, making me wait so long! According to my plan, I should have already bought 100 matches by now. Instead, I'm only at ninety-something. I'll have to wait at least another six months!"
Jiang Xiaofeng was very unhappy. According to his plan, this month would likely be the day they left the City of Slaughter. But because of Tang Yin's arrival, he had to keep waiting.
Meanwhile, Tang Yin's match wins had already exceeded 80.
Hu Liena also didn't have a good impression of Tang Yin, since he was delaying her and Jiang Xiaofeng's departure from the City of Slaughter.
"What's the deal? Sister Slaughter Envoy is too biased. We only got about fifty or sixty wins in over two years, but he's already at over eighty in the same time! We've been in the City of Slaughter for a full four years now."
Indeed, Jiang Xiaofeng and Hu Liena no longer showed any trace of their childishness. They had completely become adults.
Jiang Xiaofeng looked even more mature and steady.
Hu Liena appeared even more alluring, more mature, and more captivating, making it impossible to look away.
Tang Yin, on the other hand, hadn't changed much.
Although Jiang Xiaofeng and Hu Liena were complaining, it still couldn't change the Slaughter King's decision.
When Jiang Xiaofeng reached his 100th match, the entire City of Slaughter rang out with 100 chimes.
These 100 chimes signified the emergence of a hundred-win champion in the City of Slaughter! After reaching 100 victories, one could live in the City of Slaughter unconditionally. Of course, there was another way to leave the City of Slaughter: the Hell Road.
As long as one could pass the Hell Road, they could leave the City of Slaughter, but unfortunately, no one had ever been able to escape.
However, after Jiang Xiaofeng achieved 100 victories, there was no expression of joy on his face, because Hu Liena was only a few matches away.
Not only was Hu Liena a few matches away, but so was that Tang Yin.
Jiang Xiaofeng was also helpless and could only wait.
After waiting another three months, all three of them had reached 100 victories.
When the three of them reached a hundred victories, all the soul masters in the City of Slaughter were cheering and celebrating because they finally didn't have to be so nervous.
The tense lottery every month was a moment of terror for them.
As long as they encountered one of the three, they would undoubtedly die.
Now, those who remained either possessed a large amount of Yellow Spring Dew, were incredibly lucky, or were just a lot of new people.
"Thank heavens, those three damn people finally reached a hundred victories!"
"Damn it, can't even try to exploit a loophole. Those three finally left. Luckily, I've been fortunate enough not to run into them!"
"Damn, these past few years have been pure torture. I count the Yellow Spring Dew in my hands every day. If they'd stayed a few more months, I would have had to go!"
"Those three bastards, get the hell out! This is the City of Slaughter, a city of sin, not your personal playground!"
In short, Jiang Xiaofeng and the others had, to put it mildly, stirred up public anger in the City of Slaughter.
And just after Tang Yin achieved his hundredth victory.
The Slaughter Envoy brought them before the Slaughter King once more.
At this moment, the Slaughter King still showed little emotion.
He'd seen far too many soul masters who had achieved a hundred victories.
For example, the Slaughter Envoy was one of the victors of a hundred battles. The reason she could become a Slaughter Envoy was because of her own strength.
"Respected Slaughter King, I have brought the three soul masters who have achieved a hundred victories!"
The Slaughter King nodded.
"Mm, you may leave first. I have some words to speak with the three of them!"
The Slaughter Envoy didn't hesitate and slowly retreated.
As the heavy stone door closed, the Slaughter Envoy spread the wings on her back and slowly floated in the air.
"Congratulations on all of you achieving a hundred victories. Next, it's up to you whether you want to stay in the City of Slaughter or leave!"
"However, the three of you have excellent talent. I am even willing to accept you as my disciples. After all, Hell Road is not easy to traverse. If you're not careful, your life could be lost!"
Jiang Xiaofeng inquired, "How many chances do we get to challenge Hell Road?"
"One, and there's no turning back!"
Jiang Xiaofeng frowned. No wonder most who attempted Hell Road died; there was no going back.
Since there was no turning back, it was a dead end. No wonder Bibi Dong strongly opposed his coming to the City of Slaughter; this was probably the fundamental reason.
If Hell Road allowed for a return, it would be much simpler. One could return when failing and accumulate experience before trying again, which would probably make it very easy.
Unfortunately, Hell Road was a death path with no return. Any wrong choice could send魂师s to the Yellow Spring!
"Becoming my envoy in the City of Slaughter will bring you unparalleled glory, admired by all but one. This condition should be very favorable, wouldn't you say? What do you think?"
It seemed the Slaughter King hadn't given up, wanting to keep them by his side.
Jiang Xiaofeng still shook his head.
"I'm sorry, Slaughter King, but I'm only here to train. I'm definitely going to conquer Hell Road!"
Hu Liena declared, "Where Brother Feng goes, I go!"
The Slaughter King turned his gaze towards Tang Yin.
Tang Yin said with equal determination, "I, like them, will not stay in the City of Slaughter. My father, my friends, my family are still waiting for me!"
However, at this moment, the Slaughter King suddenly attacked.
"You don't know what's good for you, none of you are leaving!"
With that, he immediately launched an attack on Jiang Xiaofeng and the others.
Seeing the situation turn bad, Jiang Xiaofeng grabbed Hu Liena's hand, stepped onto his Zhuxian Sword, and soared into the air.
Jiang Xiaofeng's reaction speed was incredibly fast. After all, as a cultivator in the Golden Core Stage, he was extremely sensitive to danger.
Moreover, as a Golden Core Stage cultivator, facing such a situation was a trivial matter to him.
However, this small action of his actually surprised everyone else present.
