As Xiao Yan approached the gates of Spring God City, the pungent stench of blood filled his nostrils.
The wooden gate was dilapidated, bearing numerous signs of damage.
Xiao Yan, expressionless, slowly pushed open the gate, revealing a scene of utter hell before him.
Behind the gate lay once bustling streets.
Now, however, these streets were entirely stained with dark red blood, a somber and somber color, resembling the legendary hell.
Besides the blood that soaked the ground, the streets and alleys were littered with severed limbs.
Pale bones and dried flesh lay densely packed, and desiccated corpses, drained of blood, struggled in their final moments.
Above this dark purple expanse, wisps of black mist swirled. When one of these wisps touched Xiao Yan's body, it ignited a violent rage within him.
It even possessed the same bloodlust as the one in the Evil Saint Ancient City.
However, this mist was much weaker than the one in the Evil Saint Ancient City. If one was careful, it would be much more difficult to infiltrate even a Great Dou Master.
Unfortunately, most people in this city probably hadn't even reached the Dou Master level.
This led to the current scene.
Looking at this hellish scene, Xiao Yan, who always considered himself cold-hearted and indifferent to the world, fell silent for the first time.
"Young Master!" The figures of the two Saints, Wen and Wu, emerged from the space behind Xiao Yan. Even with their Half-Saint level cultivation, they were speechless upon seeing the scene before them. The
Dou Qi Continent hadn't seen such a tragedy in a long time. A city with tens of millions of people had been slaughtered. Even for the two Half-Saint level experts, this was something rarely seen.
Seeing Xiao Yan's rare silence, Xiao Wu wanted to wake him, but Xiao Wen stopped him.
"Don't disturb the Young Master." Xiao Wen gently shook his head.
Since meeting Xiao Yan, this was the first time he had seen Xiao Yan so provoked. Before this, he had even thought that Xiao Yan's temperament was already on par with them, the old folks.
Xiao Yan didn't speak again, but gently closed his eyes, his soul enveloping the city, and a scene appeared in his mind.
That day, the Golden and Silver Elders, infected by demonic energy, appeared above Spring God City, tearing the old city lord of Spring God City to pieces amidst the despair of everyone.
After that, it was a one-sided slaughter.
Whether they were Dou Huang, Dou Wang, or Dou Ling, they had no power to resist the two who had already fallen into demonic possession.
Some had their necks twisted, some had their heads crushed, leaving only a dark red bloodstain on the ground.
At this moment, they also released the black mist on their bodies, which permeated the entire city.
The people infected by this demonic energy also turned into beasts who only knew how to kill, taking any weapon they could control and hacking at their former neighbors.
The blood flowed more and more, until the entire city's ground was stained crimson. By then, most of the city's experts had been killed.
Only a few dozen escaped, while the rest perished in their mutual slaughter. The last survivors were drained of their soul essence, reduced to withered skeletons.
When Xiao Yan opened his eyes again, a rare rage, unseen since arriving in this world, flickered in his usually carefree gaze.
This rage was unlike anything he had seen in either his past or present lives.
Since abandoning his conscience in his previous life, Xiao Yan had always believed that even if the world were destroyed, he could accept it calmly.
He would show no mercy even if human tragedies unfolded before him.
But when a true hell on earth appeared before him, Xiao Yan realized that even his self-proclaimed strong heart had an unchangeable root.
After a long while, Xiao Yan suppressed the rage within him, took a deep breath, and regained his composure.
"Grandpa, I'm fine now." Xiao Yan's voice returned to its usual calm, but the perceptive Xiao Wen detected an unusual nuance in it.
Even the calmest person would have some emotional fluctuations. Faced with such a horrific scene, anyone with a shred of humanity would likely feel anger.
Xiao Yan didn't know if he had a change of heart, but he knew he never wanted to see such a scene, such a tragedy, again.
"Elder Yan Xiao, should we still go in?"
After seeing Xiao Yan emerge, a group of students looked at the city with trepidation.
"The situation inside is extremely horrific; calling it a living hell is no exaggeration."
"Seeing it will have a significant impact on your minds, so I won't force you."
Xiao Yan glanced at the students and said, "Those who want to go in, I won't stop you; it's your choice."
Hearing Xiao Yan's words, the students' expressions changed slightly. For a powerhouse like Xiao Yan to call a place a living hell, one could imagine how terrifying it must be.
However, when they thought of becoming a powerhouse like Xiao Yan, they all made up their minds and walked into the city side by side.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan looked at these guys with a hint of admiration.
Although these individuals were still weak, they all possessed the hearts of powerful beings.
However, no matter how strong their minds were, when they appeared before Xiao Yan, their faces turned deathly pale.
Some even had bloodshot eyes, their bodies shrouded in demonic energy, showing signs of demonic possession.
Even though they had already reached the Dou Ling level, if their hearts were not firm enough, they were still in danger of being possessed by demonic energy.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan merely moved his mind, and the student showing signs of demonic possession turned red, then spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes regaining their clarity.
"Thank you, Elder Yan Xiao,"
the student said softly, but he still hadn't completely recovered from the experience.
It wasn't until the sky was almost dark that these people finally recovered.
However, there were many inexplicable meanings in the depths of their eyes.
The same hell on earth could have ten completely different effects on the ten people before them.
"Next, what's the closest city to Spring God Ravine?"
Seeing that everyone had recovered, Xiao Yan finally asked slowly.
"It's Spring Lake City, eight hundred li from here,"
Han Yue replied softly.
"Then let's go to Spring Lake City!" Xiao Yan nodded slightly, but then his gaze swept over the students behind him.
"Everyone, going to Spring Lake City might lead to the same fate as Spring God Ravine. Are you all willing to come with me?"
Hearing this, the students paused slightly, but to Xiao Yan's surprise, not a single one hesitated.
"Even Elder Yan Xiao is willing, why shouldn't we?"
Lin Xiuya's voice rang out slowly.
"We don't want to see the tragedy of Spring God Ravine repeated."
