On the second floor of the Hell Slaughter Arena , there was a hall.
This was not a place ordinary people could enter. Only the guide of the Slaughter City and the captain of law enforcement were qualified to step into this hall.
The hall was wide and dark. At the very front sat an enormous chair inlaid with blue and purple crystals. These crystals were arranged in a drum-like shape. Aside from this chair, everything else in the hall was blood red.
"Great King, They have rejected your invitation," a cold female voice echoed through the darkness.
"Really?"
A tall figure sat on the massive chair. His features were obscured by the shadows, but one could vaguely tell he was tall and thin. "So, the King Shura, Hell Messenger, the Demon Angel, and the Nine-Hearted Witch all rejected my invitation too?"
(TL: This is the nicknames of Ye Feng, Hu Liena, Qian Renxue, and Ning Rongrong)
"Yes, Great King. They're simply ungrateful."
"Hmph. Do they really think I can't do anything to them just because of that? Naive. If they want all twenty-eight people to brave the Hell Road together, they can forget it."
"Great King, what should we do now? If no strong ones join the Slaughter City, we won't grow stronger. Although we had an agreement with the Spirit Hall a thousand years ago, who knows when they'll tear it up?"
"The Spirit Hall doesn't have time to worry about us right now. A month ago, we had a guest. Do you remember?"
"Guest?"
"Yes. One of the only two remaining Gods of Death in the world. Also, the current Pope of the Spirit Hall."
"Bibi Dong?"
"Yes. Hard to believe, right? She's so busy, yet she still took the time to come see me. From her tone, she's very concerned about King Shura." Asura King let out a sigh.
King Shura, also known as Ye Feng.
"So, we can't target them openly?"
"Exactly. In this world, the only ones who can truly threaten Slaughter City aren't Spirit Hall—they're the two Gods of Death. I can't afford to offend them either. You should know, those who pass through the Hell Road can still use spirit skills within Slaughter City."
"Great King, are we just going to let it happen? Let all twenty-eight of them win a hundred consecutive victories and then walk the Hell Road together? Please don't forget, there's a prophecy on the wall of Slaughter City. The coming of the God of Slaughter will bring disaster to Hell. The last few times the God of Slaughter appeared, it caused heavy losses to our city. If twenty-eight Gods of Slaughter appear at once, I'm afraid…"
"I've considered this. While we can't interfere in the arena directly, we can make new rules," the Asura King smiled wickedly.

In the Slaughter City, inside a hotel.
"Senior Brother, I just stepped out for a moment. I found out that the Asura King issued a new rule." Ning Rongrong walked quickly into the room and reported to Ye Feng.
"What rule?" Ye Feng asked.
"Only five people who've achieved one hundred consecutive victories can enter the Hell Road at the same time. Only after those five either pass through or die in the Hell Road can the next group of people enter." Ning Rongrong explained.
"Damn it!" Hu Liena clenched her fists.
"That means we can't go together anymore," Zhu Zhuqing frowned.
Since arriving in Slaughter City, Zhu Zhuqing had already won sixty-seven battles. She would need roughly six more months to reach one hundred.
"They're clearly targeting us." Xiao Wu was furious.
Xiao Wu currently had seventy-six wins. It would take her at least four months to hit one hundred.
Now that the Asura King issued this rule, it meant Xiao Wu couldn't enter the Hell Road alongside Ye Feng.
"They're definitely aiming this at us." Ye Feng nodded.
"So are we just going to sit here and take it?" Shui Bing'er said angrily.
Her record was even worse—only thirty-six wins. She wouldn't be able to hit one hundred in less than a year.
"He's the Asura King, the ruler of this place. He has the authority to make new rules. It's obvious he doesn't want us to obtain the Death God domain," Ye Feng said calmly.
Among the twenty-eight members in their group, only Ye Feng, Qian Renxue, Hu Liena, and Ye Lingling had already won one hundred consecutive matches.
But they hadn't rushed into the Hell Road. Instead, they chose to wait for the others to catch up.
Everyone had two pistols in hand, so getting one hundred wins was just a matter of time.
Of course, the real danger in Slaughter City wasn't the Hell Slaughter Arena —it was outside.
Some people, afraid of Ye Feng and his team, formed a mob of two hundred to ambush them.
But they were wiped out.
To minimize threats, Ye Feng only allowed his team to stay in this hotel. Anyone who dared to stay within fifty meters of it would be targeted.
Didn't matter who it was—Ye Feng would kill without hesitation.
After that, no one dared provoke them again.
"Ye Feng."
Hu Liena stepped forward. "The situation's changed. We can't go together. You should make a plan."
Ye Feng looked at her, then turned his gaze to Qian Renxue. "What about you? What do you think?"
"My grandfather told me to follow your lead in Slaughter City," Qian Renxue said indifferently.
"In that case, I've made my decision. I'll enter the Hell Road first. I'll need four companions. Who's coming with me?" Ye Feng asked.
"Me!" Xie Yue responded immediately.
"I'm in!" Yan said.
"Count me in!" Ma Hongjun added.
…
As soon as Ye Feng finished speaking, all his companions were eager to join.
"Don't be in such a rush," Ye Feng said calmly. "Dong'er told me before—the Hell Road is vast and filled with dangers. The first group that enters won't just pass through it. They also need to eliminate threats along the way to raise the success rate for those who follow. That means the first five people to go in will face the most danger."
"I'm a Spirit Saint. No one's taking this spot from me," Qian Renxue said.
"If anyone gets hurt, we'll need a healing spirit master. So, cousin, I have to go with you," Ye Lingling insisted.
"Ye Feng," Hu Liena smiled, "I've already hit a hundred wins. I'm qualified. You're not seriously going to leave me behind, right? Besides, I'm not just some pretty face."
