Chapter 269 The City of Slaughter
Knowing that Dai Weis was determined to leave, Dai Pojun no longer tried to stop him. Instead, he focused on his son's desire to gain greater power and immediately asked,
"Alright, Dai Weis, since you've made your decision, when do you plan to depart?"
Dai Weis bowed and replied, "I plan to depart early tomorrow morning. I came here today specifically to resign from my post, Father."
"Good, then I'll write a letter now! Next, go to the Clear Sky Sect and give my letter to Sect Master Tang Xiao. He will send Clear Sky Sect disciples to escort you to the City of Slaughter."
"In that case, thank you very much, Father. Before heading to the City of Slaughter, I also have something to discuss with His Majesty Xiaotian."
Dai Weis chuckled. Now that Ye Lingling had returned to Star Luo City with her mother, he planned to take Ye Lingling to the Clear Sky Sect to see if they could help Tang Xiao recover his lost right arm.
If successful, Tang Xiao would owe him a huge favor, and the Clear Sky Sect disciples would have greater recognition of the Star Luo Empire—a win-win situation.
After receiving Dai Pojun's letter, Dai Weis took his leave and returned to the Crown Prince's residence.
After a sweet night with his first wife, Zhu Zhuyun, he took Tang Yuehua and Ye Lingling to the Clear Sky Sect early the next morning.
Star Luo City was not far from the Clear Sky Sect; the journey by carriage took only five days.
At this time, a magnificent castle was under construction on the Carthus Mountains, twice the size of the original Clear Sky Fortress.
Watchtowers, bunkers, and arrow towers were also erected on the surrounding mountains, constantly guarding the castle—it was practically a fixed fortress!
Clearly, after the devastating night attack by the Spirit Hall, Tang Xiao and the Clear Sky Sect disciples had realized the importance of city defense. Now, they were willing to sleep in tents every day to make Clear Sky Fortress easy to defend and impregnable!
Led by a disciple of the Clear Sky Sect, Dai Weis and his two companions successfully met Tang Xiao. Tang Xiao, who had lost an arm, was currently overseeing the construction of Clear Sky Fortress. Upon seeing Dai Weis, he quickly bowed and said, "Greetings, Your Highness the Crown Prince."
"Your Highness, there's no need for such formalities!" Dai Weis quickly helped Tang Xiao up, a slight smile playing on his lips. "Your Highness, I've come here for two reasons: first, to deliver some good news, and second, to ask you to take me somewhere."
"Oh?"
Tang Xiao raised an eyebrow, a hint of doubt appearing on his face. He thought to himself: His Highness the Crown Prince wants me to take him somewhere? What place can't His Highness go that I have to take him to?
Suppressing his doubts, Tang Xiao asked, "What good news is Your Highness speaking of?"
"Hehe, the good news is that Your Highness's arm has hope of recovery?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Xiao was struck dumb, and the three elders beside him also paled.
"Is what Your Highness says true?"
"Of course it is." Dai Weis smiled. "Let me introduce you, Your Highness. This is Miss Ye Lingling. Her Spirit is the number one healing-type Spirit in the world, the Nine Heart Flowering Apple. Now her Spirit has evolved into the Nine Heart Jade Begonia, so even something as simple as reviving a severed arm can be done with ease."
At this point, Dai Weis changed the subject, adding, "However, the Nine Heart Jade Begonia can only help Your Highness restore your lost right arm, but it cannot restore your cultivation. As for whether Your Highness can restore your cultivation as a Title Douluo, I cannot guarantee that."
Upon learning that his cultivation could not be restored, Tang Xiao's expression darkened slightly, but then he thought that being able to restore his lost right arm to its original state was already a great thing. What more could he ask for?
"It doesn't matter. As long as I can become a healthy adult, I will be content."
"Alright!"
Dai Weis nodded, glancing at Ye Lingling. The girl immediately understood and released her Nine Heart Jade Begonia Spirit to heal Tang Xiao.
A bright green light flashed, and Tang Xiao's arm began to grow at a visible speed. Large beads of sweat dripped from Ye Lingling's forehead; clearly, regenerating a severed arm was extremely taxing on her Spirit power. After all, she was only a minor Spirit Master.
While Ye Lingling was performing the treatment, Tang Xiao asked again, "Where does Your Highness wish me to take you?"
"Your Majesty should know that place—it's the City of Slaughter!"
"What?" Tang Xiao's expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed in horror, "Your Highness wants to go to the City of Slaughter?"
"That's right. Although I know the City of Slaughter is in the Great Wilderness of the West, I don't know its exact location. Your Majesty is the elder brother of His Majesty Clear Sky, so you must know its exact location. I hope Your Majesty can take me there."
Dai Weis wasn't lying; he genuinely didn't know the exact location of the City of Slaughter.
"Your Highness, are you sure about this? The City of Slaughter is no joke. If you can't get through the Hell Road, you can't get out. Even Clear Sky almost..."
Before Tang Xiao could finish speaking, Dai Weis smiled faintly, and Tang Xiao realized what was going on.
He had personally witnessed Dai Weis's abilities. With his agile skills, even a Title Douluo might not be his match without using Spirit skills.
"Very well, since Your Highness has made up your mind, I will take you there!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty Xiaotian!"
After three courses of treatment from Ye Lingling, Tang Xiao's lost right arm was finally fully restored, although his cultivation level was still stuck at level eighty-seven, unable to advance any further.
However, Tang Xiao was already satisfied to be able-bodied again, and immediately took Dai Weis to the City of Slaughter.
After a week of travel, the two finally arrived at the small village where the City of Slaughter was located. The village was in ruins, as if it had been ravaged by wolf bandits, sparsely populated and extremely desolate, with only a few dilapidated wooden houses. Dai Weis knew that this was not the City of Slaughter; the real City of Slaughter was underground.
"Your Highness, please follow me." With that, Tang Xiao walked straight into a tavern, with Dai Weis following closely behind.
The air inside the tavern was murky, and all the decorations were black. Several ugly, strong men were drinking heartily at the table.
But what they were drinking was not alcohol, but a red liquid.
"That must be the Bloody Mary, right?" Dai Weis murmured. At that moment, Tang Xiao arrived at the bar and said in an unquestionable tone, "Two Bloody Marys, please!"
Everyone around was stunned, including the waiter. He was the first to react, smiling, "Sir, have you made up your mind?"
"Just bring them out! Enough with the nonsense!"
Hearing this, the waiter said nothing more, silently taking out two Bloody Marys and handing them to Tang Xiao.
"Your Highness, please!"
"Your Majesty, please!"
Dai Weis took a Bloody Mary and drank it down in one gulp. Aside from being a little unpleasant to drink, it wasn't anything special.
"Your Highness should know what you're drinking, right?"
"I know. Just human blood, nothing special!" Dai Weis's lips curled slightly. Human blood? What was that? He knew some nobles were perverted; they would eat raw human flesh.
Compared to that, a glass of human blood was truly nothing.
