The Five Great Households and Three Great Generals

They stayed at the Setting Sun Chamber of Commerce for another half an hour.

He handed over some of his talismans and pills to the merchant guild to sell.

They received a full ten thousand earth crystals.

Everything was handled by Elder Duan.

Yao Hao, watching from the side, was completely dumbfounded.

I regret it now.

If the items this distinguished guest sells could pass through his hands, it would make him proud and respected by the chairman!

After leaving the Setting Sun Chamber of Commerce.

Chen Ning then bought a place to stay in Lone Smoke City. In fact, given the vastness of the Vast Land, he had nowhere else to go.

It would be better to stay in Lone Smoke City and make some preparations first.

As for searching for news of the First-Generation Sect Master...

There's no rush.

We need to find out some of their cards first.

His strength is probably still among the top in the Nine Provinces Realm.

The Vast Land is vast.

There are countless powerful individuals.

There are even god-like beings.

For example, the divine God Clan behind the Blazing Star Lord is the strongest enemy.

A battle was inevitable.

To fight them, we need to be much stronger.

Therefore.

At this moment, Chen Ning devoted himself entirely to cultivating and comprehending his Great Divine Ability martial arts techniques.

Devil God Transformation!

The First-Generation Sect Master, Nameless, used a single move.

Mythical Reward: Purple Firmament Divine Lightning!

In.

Among them, the Purple Firmament Divine Lightning is the most magnificent and complex.

After all, it surpasses the level of legend.

In addition.

As one's cultivation level increases, the power that the Darkness Divine Mark can draw upon after defeating enemies becomes relatively limited.

"I'll look for news of the old man again when I reach the Saint Realm..."

Chen Ning opened his eyes.

His expression was calm.

He said, pointing in a certain direction, "Since you're here, come out."

The words had barely left his mouth.

Five figures suddenly appeared in the once peaceful courtyard, all of them at the Heavenly Martial Realm.

"It seems your Divine Sense is quite strong. When did you detect us?"

The leader had bright, piercing eyes and a rather dignified aura; he was a powerful expert at the Ninth Level of the Heaven Martial Realm.

"It was probably around the time you all came back with me..."

"What? You sensed us back then? And you're still so calm? Did you really think you could act with impunity in Lone Smoke City just because you're at the Heaven Martial Realm Eighth Layer?"

Chen Ning smiled upon hearing this.

He knew he would be watched the moment he took out that top-grade Immortal Pill.

But.

Trouble can be divided into big trouble and small trouble.

The person before me.

It's just a minor inconvenience.

Chen Ning tacitly allowed them to follow him all the way.

The reason for this is that I want to learn more about Lone Smoke City.

At this point.

Chen Ning was actually quite kind to people. Since he was unfamiliar with the area, he couldn't just randomly ask people for information; if someone did, he would silence them.

My conscience is bothering me...

We can only wait for someone like that to come to us.

I previously inquired about information from Yellow Sand Lord.

The questions were all about major events on this Vast Land.

This time, we can add some information about Lone Smoke City.

"Brother Chai, stop wasting your breath on him. If he can produce top-grade Immortal Pill, he must come from a prominent Aristocratic Clan in some major city. He definitely has other good things on him!"

"Don't blame us for being ruthless; a young nobleman like you, fresh out of school, shouldn't be so careless!"

"You won't be alone on your journey to the underworld. Soon, the stunning beauty from your house will accompany you on your way!"

The words had barely left his mouth.

A gust of wind swept in.

All five attacked simultaneously.

Among these people, the one in the lead was the strongest, at the Ninth Level of the Heaven Martial Realm.

The others were all at around the Heaven Martial Realm Seventh Layer.

"Roar!"

At that very moment.

A monkey's cry rang out.

The Sha Qi surged forth, causing chaos among the crowd, who were all rendered immobile by its Sha Qi force.

"What a terrifying spirit beast!"

Seeing a ferocious giant ape standing beside Chen Ning, everyone was terrified.

"Next, I'll ask you a few questions. If you can answer them, you can live; if you can't, you'll stay..."

Chen Ning's tone was flat.

One of the five men spoke disdainfully, "We've lost today, but don't be arrogant. You can't afford to offend the Lineage behind us!"

"I haven't even asked yet, so... you're out!"

Chen Ning finished speaking.

While the five were still wondering what being eliminated meant...

The demonic ape excitedly took a few steps forward and swallowed the head of the person who had just spoken.

The human head was separated from the body.

Blood gushed out like a fountain.

The others were immediately startled.

They were all young people in the clan and had rarely experienced such a scene; a chill ran through them.

What exactly do you want?

Some people finally realized the seriousness of the situation.

They also discovered that they seemed to have offended someone very powerful.

"I told you, I was just asking you a few questions."

Chen Ning's voice remained calm.

"You... you can ask!"

They were all trembling with fear at that moment.

The person opposite them was simply too ruthless. They were now absolutely certain that if they displeased him, he might kill them all.

What kind of Lineage do you come from?

"We... we are from the Hu Household... My Hu Chai, and these are my cousins."

"Tell me about the power and influence of the various Lineage in Lone Smoke City, the more detailed the better."

Upon hearing this...

Hu Chai spoke again, "Lone Smoke City is led by five major Lineage, among which the Han Household Lineage, where the city lord resides, is the most powerful. Our Hu Household is one of the five major families."

What are the strongest members of the five major Lineage at different cultivation levels?

"The heads of the five major Lineage are all at the Saint Realm Middle Stage, and the city lord Han Qianren at the Late-Stage Saint realm, and is also... the strongest person in Lone Smoke City."

"Let's talk about the layout of the City Lord's Mansion..."

"The City Lord's Mansion has many experts. The City Lord has three generals under his command, two of whom are at the Saint Realm Early Stage, and one is at the Saint Realm Middle Stage..."

"Alright, for the last question, I'll only accept one answer. You all choose one person to answer, and the rest of you will have to answer the same question..."

Chen Ning pointed to the headless corpse.

A chill ran through the three of them.

Hu Chai, however, revealed a look of great joy, but he still pretended to be hesitant. "My dear cousins, I am, after all, a direct descendant of the Hu Household, and my fate is in the hands of the Lineage's future. Please bear with me, I will give you a proper burial."

None of them spoke upon seeing them.

Hu Chai threatened, "You'd better not have any other ideas, or I'll make sure you're all reduced to dust!"

Upon hearing this, the three of them immediately showed expressions of obedience.

Hu Chai was finally satisfied, and just as he was about to hear Chen Ning's next question...

Pfft!

A poisoned blade pierced his spine.

His face turned pale instantly, but he was still unable to move, his eyes wide open, staring intently ahead.

He could only helplessly endure the attacks from his three cousins.

Chen Ning smiled and said, "I didn't do anything. I just had the demonic ape release the suppression it had placed on them. It's your character that's bad."

Hu Chai collapsed to the ground, his body soaked in poisonous blood.

His gaze lingered on his three cousins who were killing each other.

They were all vying for the chance to answer a question and survive.

All three eventually collapsed in pools of blood.

Hu Chai was on the verge of death.

Chen Ning walked to his side expressionlessly and said, "It seems none of you can answer this last question..."
