Chapter 315: Chapter Three Hundred and Twelve - ’Because We Are Dazzling and Powerful

In the silence, only the street that Su Ming’an could see was the most flamboyant, with various lights twinkling and a strong scent that could be smelled even here.

Flower Street.

Chaotic, dirty, thrilling, dangerous.

Honestly, it was his first time visiting such a place.

The moment he stepped onto this street, a strong smell of alcohol rushed up to him, with various people slumped on the sides of the road, and melodious singing floated in the air, carrying a unique exotic tune.

He didn’t head straight for the center, but turned into a dark alley on the right.

Flower Street only had a main street that ran north to south, flanked by storefronts like the Red Mansion, pubs, and casinos. Beyond the storefronts, there was a network of pitch-black alleyways, incredibly chaotic, where incidents of death concentrated every night.

Fearing to spook the target, and unable to distinguish normal humans from the Soul Clan, the Soul Hunters were at a loss with these alleys.

The Soul Clan could gain strength by absorbing human souls, so long as they still had a breath, killing one person could revive them, and the more people, the more advantageous it was for them.

A sea of people strategy was utterly ineffective; against the Soul Clan, only a dispersed combat of elites worked.

Su Ming’an turned into the alley, looking up.

An exceptionally cold breeze hit him, and the dark alley loomed like a black hole.

Although the smell was faint, he had already sensed it; there was a scent of blood in the alley.

Perhaps his Soul Clan identity made his sense of smell somewhat sensitive, but as he turned into the alley, the human blood smell seemed to hook him and guide him inside, like a navigation marker pointing the way.

His task was to eradicate a Soul Clan stronghold, which meant he had to penetrate deep into enemy territory. This suspicious alley was precisely the area he needed to inspect.

The instant he delved into the alley, he felt he was being watched, with several gazes scanning over him, seemingly deciding whether to strike immediately.

This was the hunting ground of the Soul Clan.

After a moment, he finally reached the source of the blood scent.

It was a dead end.

High walls completely blocked the entrance, and inside the narrow path, a dark figure was hunched over, engrossed in eating something on the ground.

A wave of blood smell hit him, and the human attacked on the ground was already dead.

Su Ming’an stood at the entrance of the alley, waiting for the other to turn around.

Seemingly satiated, the Soul Clan member turned around after a while, directly meeting Su Ming’an’s gaze.

Just then, Su Ming’an detected a unique smell from the other.

...This smell was the same as the one he had smelled on Xia Na earlier in the day.

"Human?" the Soul Clan member stared straight at Su Ming’an.

The Soul Clan member was a young man, dressed in tattered clothes like an ordinary fisherman.

But his eyes were blood-red, and after feeding, his entire lip area was smeared with fresh blood, looking incredibly terrifying.

Su Ming’an didn’t speak.

He turned and ran.

The young Soul Clan member hesitated on the spot, watching as Su Ming’an’s figure ran further away.

The young Soul Clan member noticed that Su Ming’an was taking very shaky steps, as if he lacked strength.

Hesitating briefly, and considering that he might be hungry for several days after, he still decided to kill.

Crouching on the spot for a moment, he suddenly shot out like an arrow, his claws tracing a bloody streak in the night sky, charging straight towards the running Su Ming’an.

"Whoosh!"

To the young man’s surprise, the strike was incredibly light. The claw swept across, scratching a long mark on the human’s back, and blood sprayed out.

...Was it really just a misguided human?

The young Soul Clan member was relieved, as he had thought it was a Soul Hunter who had come to investigate. After all, ordinary humans would not come here alone, generally lured in by other Soul Clan members.

He opened his mouth full of sharp teeth and reached out with both hands, attempting to grab the other.

The next moment, the other turned his head.

The young Soul Clan member met a pair of dark red eyes, very much like his own.

"Boom—"

A loud explosion.

The body of the young Soul Clan member, shattered into pieces, fell before him, as Su Ming’an retracted his hand and turned off the system mirror, seeing his own pair of dark red eyes.

He confirmed his suspicion.

He had been curious what would make his eye color change. But now it seemed, being "attacked by the Soul Clan" was the condition that caused his eyes to change color.

Thus, he had to be cautious in regular battles, unable to be attacked by the Soul Clan in public places.

He stood still for a moment, and ten seconds later, his eye color restored.

Just as he was about to check another area, he suddenly heard a series of crisp applause.

"Clap—clap—clap!"

Su Ming’an slightly furrowed his brow.

Throughout the battle, he hadn’t noticed someone standing nearby.

An energetic old man with white hair and dressed in a crisp uniform slowly emerged from the shadows.

This elderly man wore a Blue Rose top hat and carried no weapon, appearing like a British gentleman.

But his eyes were distinctively blood-red.

"Not bad strength," the old man said as he approached while clapping, a satisfied smile on his face, "I haven’t seen you around before, are you... a new Soul Clan member to Pulaya? What level?"

"State your name first," Su Ming’an said.

"Haha... interesting," the old man chuckled, taking off his hat and bowing slightly, "I am the chief leader of the ’Grid Funeral’ Soul Clan organization responsible for the hunting eastern region, High Soul Clan Archilev. Welcome to the eastern hunting area, my dear powerful brethren."

High Soul Clan.

Su Ming’an gained further insight into the unreliable nature of Soul Hunt.

There were High Soul Clan members here equivalent in strength to S-level Soul Hunters, yet no word of it had leaked. If it were a regular S-level Soul Hunter entering such a den, it would likely mean no return.

"My brethren," Archilev spread his arms, seemingly wanting to embrace him, "I don’t mind your lethal actions against other brethren. After all, it really was he who mistook you for a human—your scent is very special, quite similar to humans yet with a hint of Soul Clan, can you tell me why?"

Su Ming’an understood now.

Soul Clan members could sense each other by this kind of distinct, disinfectant-like smell.

But Su Rin seemed different from regular Soul Clan members; his scent was somewhat close to humans, easily leading Soul Clan members to mistake him for one.

"That’s my business, none of yours," Su Ming’an said coldly.

Facing a being of closely matched power, he couldn’t show the slightest weakness.

"Alright," Archilev appeared unconcerned, "My powerful brethren, what exactly brought you into this eastern hunting area? To join us... or to hunt on your own? If you could understand our situation in the eastern hunting area better, I would be more than happy to enlighten you."

"Hunting?" Su Ming’an laughed, "Soul Clan hunting like underground rats, rounded up like nocturnal creatures that can only skulk about at night. You dare to use the word ’hunting’."

When Archilev heard this, his brows lifted, unoffended:

"In the grand scheme, we indeed are," he said softly, "but—what of it? This area belongs entirely to the Soul Clan, within it, we are like deities. Neither the lowly humans nor the Soul Hunters can step in, disturbing our hunt—this is a sanctuary we’ve established for Soul Clan brethren, where they can find absolute peace without worry of being killed by Soul Hunters one day."

"So," he said with a smile, "why not call it ’hunting’ humans? To us, humans are merely food, and the food that enters this forbidden land is powerless under our hands, so why can’t we use the word ’hunting’?"

Su Ming’an scoffed at this, but he didn’t further provoke the other party.

"I am very interested in your so-called Soul Clan organizations," Su Ming’an said, "I initially thought the Soul Clan in Pulaya fought each for themselves, but I didn’t expect you to divide it up among humans like slicing a cake."

"Then you’ve come at just the right time, my brethren," Archilev affably put his arm on his shoulder, pushing him deeper into the alley, "Pulaya is a lively place, though some Soul Hunters are extremely vexing, our lives here are relatively affluent. Today is our monthly gathering in March, everyone’s enjoying themselves, perfect to welcome your arrival."

A gathering?

Su Ming’an immediately thought about the mission target, destroying the Soul Clan gathering place here.

He had been prepared to painstakingly search for it, but here it was, coming to him automatically.

He let Archilev push him forward, noting the old man’s great strength.

To enhance his perception, he was currently in Shadow State; otherwise, this alley was so dark that even the ground was invisible. The other’s strength was far above his, and within a few steps, he saw a plain-looking bungalow.

Archilev stood in front of him, seemingly feeling the ground with his hand, then the door of the bungalow opened, revealing a clear underground staircase.

Su Ming’an memorized the movements of the other’s hands and followed him down.

He hadn’t gone far when he heard a high-pitched female voice below.

"—Clearly, the Soul Clan and humans are incompatible."

"We are several times stronger than these physically and willfully weak humans. We deserve power that matches our strength."

"As long as we like, as long as we want, as long as we ’desire to possess,’ we should obtain what we need from the weak humans, because we are the mighty beings favored by the world."

"Humans will submit to us."

"—Because we are dazzling and powerful."

"For our further advancement, for the glory of the Soul Clan, for the treatment that matches us—we invade and conquer, why not advance further?"

Listening to the spirited speech below, Su Ming’an revealed a smile.

...These Soul Clan leaders truly were interesting.

Perhaps he could have a chat with her.
