Moves by All Sides in Lone Smoke City

Until this moment.

Hu Chai finally realized that he had never intended to let them go in the first place.

Final.

All five men died.

Throughout the entire ordeal, Chen Ning only allowed the demonic ape to kill one person.

Everyone else died at the hands of their own people.

It's quite ironic.

Chen Ning showed them no pity whatsoever.

If it weren't for his own strength far exceeding the cultivation level, and the powerful assistance of the demonic ape, the outcome today would probably be that he and Hua'er were killed by them.

Since they dared to harbor thoughts of stealing treasure and killing...

Therefore, we must be even more willing to accept such consequences.

The information Chen Ning gleaned about Lone Smoke City from them gave him a better understanding of the forces within the city.

"The Five Great Lineage... the City Lord's Mansion..."

Chen Ning couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement; it turned out that every family had Saint among them.

It's no exaggeration to say that...

The number of Saint- level experts in Lone Smoke City is greater than the total number in the entire Nine Provinces Realm.

This is a rather stark contrast.

However, the five major Lineage are not a cause for concern.

The strongest among them was only at the Saint Realm Middle Stage.

With the Demon Ape around, there's nothing to worry about.

The only thing Chen Ning was wary of was the City Lord's Mansion.

If I act recklessly, it will be truly troublesome if the city lord intervenes.

After all.

City Lord Han Qianren and Rakshasa King are at the same cultivation level.

Late-Stage Saint.

That was an existence that almost drove the entire Nine Provinces Realm to destruction!

"Tsk tsk tsk, you've started killing again?"

At this moment.

Sikong Xue pushed open the door and walked into the courtyard. She saw a scene of blood everywhere, but she didn't react much.

He just covered his nose and looked disgusted.

This made Chen Ning curious about her past again.

If she wasn't a ruthless killer, there's only one explanation: she had experienced something far more horrific.

Sikong Xue placed a roast suckling pig on the stone table, then hurriedly ran into the house to Hua Luo out for dinner.

Hua Luo has always been indifferent to everything and everyone.

She only listens to Chen Ning.

But interestingly...

However, she did not resist Sikong Xue.

This is also one of the reasons why Chen Ning kept her by his side.

Hua'er really need someone to keep them company.

"By the way, you mentioned before that Yellow Sand Lord's backer is also in Lone Smoke City. I wonder who it is?"

Chen Ning asked casually.

Sikong Xue's eyes lit up, and she said, "That person is Yuan Ming, one of the three great generals of Lone Smoke City, Wolf General, at the Saint Realm Middle Stage realm."

"Who is the Yellow Sand Lord to him?"

"He's his maternal uncle, and it's because of this relationship that Yuan Ming found the Divine Fruit for him, helping him advance to the Saint."

Sikong Xue then joked, "Yuan Ming is the strongest young man in Lone Smoke City, and he's also extremely handsome. He's adored by countless women. But after you arrive, even without his uncle's affair, he'd probably still see you as a thorn in his side."

I'll take that as a compliment.

Chen Ning smiled and said, "By the way, clean up those corpses later."

"Ah?"

Sikong Xue said reluctantly, "How can you bear to make me, a woman, do such a thing?"

"Do you still want to be my follower?"

Chen Ning uttered a single, casual remark.

Sikong Xue immediately put on a smiling face and said, "Okay! I'll go clean it up right away!"

Chen Ning then looked at Hua Luo, who was taking small bites of suckling pig. Ever since she transferred some of the power in the Great Snow Mountain, Hua Luo's condition seemed to be somewhat different from before.

I used to just drift along aimlessly.

Except when listening to himself, he is completely immersed in a state of daydreaming.

The current Hua Luo, however, exhibit some of the proactive behaviors of normal people.

For example, there are needs related to food, and curiosity about the outside world.

They're just still very naive.

That night.

The Lone Smoke City is far from peaceful.

Inside the Hu Household's attic.

When the light on the five soul tablets went out, the head of the Hu Household was furious.

"Investigate! Who killed Chai'er?"

Hu Chai is the most talented member of the Hu Household in recent years.

He should have had a bright future ahead of him.

But now he has suddenly died outside.

"Patriarch, Yao Musheng, the patriarch of the Yao Household family, requests an audience!"

"Please invite him over!"

Not long after.

Yao Musheng entered the courtyard, cupped his hands, and said, "Greetings, Patriarch Hu Household."

"You've come so late, is there anything I can help you with?"

Yao Musheng, who was opposite him, was at the Saint Realm Early Stage, although he had only entered the Saint Realm through the stimulation of Divine Fruit.

However, his strength is considerable, and he remains one of the strongest in Lone Smoke City.

The Yao Household, to which he belongs, is the strongest among the five great Lineage.

"Hu Household, I know who killed your junior."

Who is it?

A murderous glint flashed in Hu Qiu's eyes.

"That man was at the Setting Sun Chamber of Commerce today, and he even clashed with some members of my Lineage. Most importantly... he produced a Seven-Pattern Immortal Pill!"

"Is this really true?"

Hu Qiu calmed down. Anyone who could produce a Seven-Pattern Immortal Pill was no ordinary person. He needed to find out more about the other party first.

"The Hu Household is well-informed; finding out his identity shouldn't be difficult."

Yao Musheng smiled and said, "As for my Yao Household, we only hope that this person can be dealt with by Hu Household."

The Setting Sun Chamber of Commerce, where Yao Hao works.

He is famous throughout the entire Cangxuan Domain.

They finally managed to get Yao Hao in, but he was constantly restricted by that Old Man Duan. This time, he suddenly found a powerful backer.

All they need to do is drive Old Man Duan out of the Chamber of Commerce.

Yao Hao will be able to fully utilize his talents, and the Yao Household will be able to become even stronger as a result.

So.

As long as the Hu Household can bring down Old Man Duan's powerful backer.

His Yao Household would then have no more worries.

At the same time.

In a camp outside the city.

The Earth-Burrowing Demonic Lizard was curled up, and opposite it stood a tall and handsome young man.

This man was none other than Yuan Ming Wolf General, one of the three great generals who guarded Lone Smoke City.

He stretched out a hand, releasing a pure white light, fully sensing the aura of the Earth-Burrowing Demonic Lizard.

He possesses a Divine Ability that allows him to communicate with spirit beasts.

This shows the sights the spirit beast has witnessed within the last three days.

And through the eyes of this Earth-Burrowing Demonic Lizard.

He clearly saw a figure.

He was a handsome man who made him feel somewhat ashamed of his own appearance.

"Was it you who did it?"

Yuan Ming squinted, his expression cold and stern.

Even though he looked down on his maternal uncle, blood is thicker than water, and not just anyone could bully him.

"Unfortunately, my Divine Ability cannot hear their voices, but that is enough. I will find you and offer your head as a sacrifice to him."

Yuan Ming's body emanated an extremely violent aura befitting Saint Realm Middle Stage.

Lone Smoke City.

The City Lord's Mansion.

Han Qianren sat on the gilded throne, reached out and unfurled a scroll of cryptic text, which described the appearance of a mysterious person in the city.

He casually took out the Seven-Pattern Immortal Pill, displaying an extraordinary demeanor.

Seeing this, Han Qianren's expression remained largely unchanged.

"Please invite this gentleman to our residence for a chat tomorrow."

As the king of this Lone Smoke City!

He naturally wanted to meet this mysterious figure.

Find out the other party's background and purpose.

To avoid causing uncontrollable consequences.
