Chapter 135. Destroying the Slaughter City is either foolish or evil.
Of course, the most enticing reward within Qianxunji's contribution reward system was the Millennium Soul Bone. Soul bones from the 1,000-year level to the 9,000-year level were essentially all included in this reward.
This move immediately caused an uproar among all factions across the continent.
For some reason, no faction dared to guarantee a long-term supply of soul bones as rewards, as the drop rate was incredibly low. Even a large sect wouldn't be able to produce more than a few dozen of them. While the Spirit Hall's reward and punishment system made it difficult to achieve the desired reward, it wasn't impossible. Among the hundreds of thousands of Spirit Hall members, perhaps one or two hundred would fall within the Spirit Hall's reward range. Could the Spirit Hall possibly release these soul bones?
Of course, to answer these questions, the Spirit Hall provided its own answer. Qianxunji first recognized several individuals who had made outstanding contributions to the Spirit Hall in the past, then unveiled a cabinet filled with soul bones from the Spirit Hall's soul bone vault.
All of them were thousand-year soul bones. Now, no one questioned the Spirit Hall's contribution system, because at least until the hundreds of thousand-year soul bones in this cabinet were rewarded, this system was effective.
"Hahahaha!" Gu Rong laughed wildly, saying, "Qian Xunji is truly a prodigal son! The Spirit Hall's heritage is so profound, it can't afford such a reward."
"That cabinet of soul bones truly astounds me," Chen Xin said. "We in the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect don't seem to have many soul bones, yet the Spirit Hall can easily offer so many."
"What are you afraid of? People are greedy. If the Spirit Hall dares to offer soul bones as a reward, there will be people who will risk their lives to get them. I guarantee that in a dozen years, no, not even ten, the Spirit Hall's thousand-year soul bones will be completely gone. Then we'll see what Qian Xunji can offer to fulfill his promise."
Ning Fengzhi fell into deep thought. Based on Qian Xunji's actions in the Haotian Sect, he was a cruel and unkind person, but also a very resourceful one. Would he make such a foolish decision?
Ning Fengzhi could never have imagined that the Spirit Hall's thousand-year soul bones were practically unlimited.
But this matter couldn't be that simple.
At the exit of the Slaughter City, a woman with rosy hair emerged.
Her eyes glowed crimson, and a murderous aura emanated from them, but she quickly retracted it.
"Is this the Killing God's Domain?"
Hua Qiang became one of the few people in Douluo Continent's history to have attained the Killing God's Domain.
She turned around, seeing the Slaughter City behind her, and a wave of emotion welled up in her heart. Although she held no affection for the Shura God, the Shura God's Slaughter City had indeed solved a major problem for Douluo Continent.
The most common creatures in the Slaughter City were evil spirit masters, who daily engaged in killing and being killed. Hua Qiang had slain countless evil spirit masters.
Historically, one of Tang San's most celebrated achievements was his destruction of the Slaughter City, utterly annihilating its inhabitants.
She scoffed at the idea. Destroy the Slaughter City, eradicate the evil within?
What evil was the most ineradicable? It was the evil in the human heart!
No matter how many evil people you eliminate in reality, as long as there is evil in people's hearts, evil thoughts will continue to arise.
The Slaughter City is inhabited by evildoers, but these evildoers are taken into this Slaughter City, where they cannot harm others. The Slaughter City has a certain attraction for those with evil thoughts in Douluo Continent, causing them to enter the Slaughter City voluntarily and continuously.
This, then, is the most natural prison for evil.
The Spirit Hall stands in opposition to evil spirit masters, yet it has managed to coexist with the Slaughter City, which harbors a vast population of them. This is the wisdom of successive Spirit Hall rulers.
The Spirit Hall's suppression of evil spirit masters has left them with no place to thrive in the spirit master world or on the Douluo Continent. They seek freedom only in the Slaughter City, but once there, they find themselves trapped in a prison.
This explains why evil spirit masters are so rare in this era. However, both the Spirit Hall and the Slaughter City were destroyed by a single individual.
That was Tang San!
Hua Qiang didn't know what he was thinking when he destroyed the Slaughter City. If he was thinking, "I want to destroy the Slaughter City and bring the punishment it holds upon its inhabitants," then he'd be foolish.
But what if it was another motive? If Slaughter City were destroyed, no one would ever gain the Killing God Domain. Furthermore, if Slaughter City were destroyed, there would be no shelter left in the world. Over time, the evil spirit masters would have no place to go, and would they then continue to cause trouble for the Spirit Hall on Douluo Continent?
That would be disastrous!
Hua Qiang couldn't fathom Tang San's thoughts, but she believed that even if Slaughter City didn't exist, there should be some kind of order similar to that found there.
Forget it, she decided to return to the Spirit Hall and report to the Pope.
With this in mind, Hua Qiang left Slaughter City and headed for the Spirit Hall.
On her way from Slaughter City to the Spirit Hall, she passed through the province of Asdaka. In this chaotic province, in the small city of Qingshan Town, Hua Qiang was heading towards the Spirit Hall when she saw a man rush out from the crowd, clutching a sack as he hurried forward. A muffled humming sound emanated from the sack.
An urgent voice came from behind: "Let go, put my son down, don't take my son away."
Slave traders? ? ?
In Hua Qiang's time, slave traders were everywhere. After all, the nobles and powerful soul masters had a demand for slaves, so this market existed. It was unexpected that there were such slave traders in this era.
Hua Qiang herself came from the bottom of society, so she naturally had no good feelings towards slave traders. When she was about to rescue this person, she suddenly saw a patrol of Star Luo Empire guards in front of the slave trader, so she didn't make a move.
She wanted to see how the Star Luo Empire would deal with this matter.
Soon, the slave trader ran into those Star Luo Empire guards.
"Stop, put the man down?" The Star Luo Empire guards pointed their spears at the slave traders and ordered.
