Announce My Visit, I've Come for His Head
"This little brat is too stubborn. Let's take her back to the master of the house for interrogation!"
"Alright!"
Without further delay, the group captured Sikong Xue and left.
They returned to the Hu Household mansion.
In the courtyard of the Hu Household.
The patriarch Hu Qiu, looked at the people opposite him and said in a low voice, "Speak! Who are they? How did you become acquainted with them?"
Sikong Xue stubbornly raised her head.
He did not answer.
"As long as you tell me where they came from, these earth crystals are all yours."
Hu Qiu finished speaking.
With a flick of a finger.
A Storage Bag landed in front of Sikong Xue.
"Here are ten thousand earth crystals. Think it over carefully..."
Seeing this scene...
Sikong Xue's eyes flickered, and after a moment's struggle, she frowned and said, "You can't say that I said that."
"Certainly."
Hu Qiu nodded and smiled.
"Alright! I'll tell you, they are descendants of the Ghost Capital Ghost Tomb, and have been living in seclusion until recently when they arrived in the area of Lone Smoke City."
Upon hearing this, Hu Qiu's face darkened.
"So that's how it is... No wonder we couldn't find any trace of him; it turns out he was a force that was wiped out a hundred years ago..."
Hu Qiu was very satisfied at this moment.
The other party doesn't seem to have any powerful connections, which means he can avenge his younger family members!
"Master Hu, I've already told you, this earth crystal..."
A look of anticipation appeared in Sikong Xue's eyes.
"Hmph! Who do you think you are?"
Hu Qiu snorted coldly, then said to one of the people beside him, "Send her to the City Lord's Mansion. We're still far from meeting this year's quota..."
"Yes, sir!"
The man obeyed, grabbed one end of the rope, and dragged Sikong Xue away.
Hu Qiu rubbed his temples. He felt a little dissatisfied when he thought of the city lord's mansion. The city lord cultivated using human internal organs, which consumed a great deal of energy.
Many Lineage in the city were forced to scavenge for people to fill their quotas.
The Hu Household was one of them.
The refugees were gradually all captured...
The only option left was to take action against the people in the city.
There are many such cases.
Some rumors always leak out.
Often, it takes people like the Hu Household to clean up their messes.
What the people of Lone Smoke City didn't know was that the seemingly righteous city lord was actually an absolute demon.
When the sun is high in the sky.
In front of the Hu Household mansion.
Two figures slowly approached; it was Chen Ning and Hua Luo.
"Stop!"
The guard at the gate drew his sword and spoke.
"This is the Hu residence; trespassing is strictly prohibited!"
"Who are you from? State your name so I can inform them!"
Upon hearing this...
Chen Ning chuckled and said, "Please inform them that there are guests outside, here to take the head of the Hu Household patriarch."
"How dare you!"
The two guards at the gate immediately drew their swords at each other.
"Why don't you two go back and inform them? Never mind... I'll inform them myself."
Chen Ning finished speaking.
Sword Qi bursts forth from fingertips.
Sweep it away.
All the roofs within the entire Hu Mansion complex were cut off.
Now.
Both guards were startled.
The visitor is no ordinary person.
The Hu Household was protected by a powerful array, but that person's sword Sword Qi shattered the array with overwhelming force.
This alarmed everyone in the Hu household.
Is this person going to challenge the entire Hu Household all by himself?
Soon.
The commotion alerted those nearby.
The crowd watched from a distance.
They started watching the spectacle.
The man had black hair and black eyes, his long robes fluttering in the wind; the woman was stunningly beautiful and Wuxia. This combination was truly a feast for the eyes.
And.
That man was incredibly strong.
This drew gasps of amazement from the onlookers.
"Who is this person? Daring to shout in front of the Hu Household's gate, what audacity!"
"I recognize him. He was at the Setting Sun Chamber of Commerce that day, selling quite a few high-quality pills and talismans."
"How handsome he is! Even more handsome than the Wolf General Yuan Ming! My face is so red..."
Some women in the city were overcome with lust, their eyes gleaming with desire.
At this moment, inside the Hu residence.
Several powerful figures also emerged.
"Who dares to be so insolent in my Hu Household!"
Chen Ning looked calmly at these people.
Among them, there are eight Ninth Level of the Heaven Martial Realm.
In the Saint Realm Early Stage.
The rest can be completely ignored.
After they appeared.
A figure finally arrived late.
It was Hu Qiu.
He stood proudly in the void, his scarlet eyes, like those of a wild beast, staring directly at Chen Ning, and gritted his teeth, saying, "You're the one who killed Chai'er and the others, aren't you?"
"They wanted to steal the treasures from my siblings. What's wrong with me killing them?"
Chen Ning gave a calm reply.
"You can let them go, and my Hu Household will naturally consider you a friend."
Hu Qiu's voice was cold. "It's a pity, you chose to be an enemy of the Hu Household yourself..."
"I see, you like making friends..."
Chen Ning suddenly realized and said, "Well then, since I was a bit presumptuous today and damaged your roof, how about you let me off the hook and we become friends?"
Hu Qiu's face darkened upon hearing this, and he said, "Boy, don't try to be clever with your words. I haven't even come looking for you yet, and you're already courting death..."
The words had barely left his mouth.
Hu Qiu took the initiative and unleashed a powerful, earth-yellow fist strike.
Roar!
A monkey's cry rang out.
A surge of Sha Qi swept over, and the demonic ape met it with a punch.
The earth trembled.
Hu Qiu staggered back several steps, his face showing surprise, and said, "So you have such a ferocious beast to aid you in battle! No wonder you dared to run wild in my Hu Household!"
"Let's attack together!"
"Supporting the Patriarch!"
The Hu Household members rushed towards the demonic ape, unleashing all sorts of martial arts techniques powered by the earth.
Yet it still couldn't harm the demonic ape's body.
Instead, he was backfired by the surging Sha Qi, his body was blasted back a hundred meters, and he crashed into and destroyed many of the Hu Household's houses.
"So strong..."
Another Saint from the Hu Household, with a solemn expression in his eyes, joined Hu Qiu in attacking the demonic ape from both the front and the back.
Hu Qiu grew increasingly alarmed as the battle progressed.
This demonic ape possessed formidable flesh and blood, and its terrifying Sha Qi permeated its entire body, making it unmatched even by him.
It has fallen into a slump.
In a fleeting moment.
Seizing the opportunity, the demonic ape swiftly grasped the head of another Saint from the Hu Household.
Then they brutally crushed it.
At the same time.
Sha Qi invades.
All life has vanished!
The Saint of the Hu Household has fallen!
Those watching couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.
"What a terrifying spirit beast! It can actually withstand the attacks of two Saints at the same time and still gain the upper hand..."
"This doesn't seem to be an ordinary spirit beast... but rather a High Antiquity mythical creature!"
What is that?
"High Antiquity beasts, extraordinary and otherworldly, born of heaven and earth, possessing innate power. Such beasts have never appeared in the Cangxuan Domain, but one did appear on the High Antiquity Nebula Continent!"
A look of horror flashed in some people's eyes.
"It was a divine bird so enormous it could blot out an entire city. With a flap of its wings, it could destroy everything within a radius of ten thousand miles, leaving nothing but barren land. It was once a legend on the continent!"
Upon hearing this, everyone shook their heads in astonishment.
Although this great ape's destructive power was not as great as that of the legendary beast, it still possessed terrifying strength.
This is something even mythical beasts cannot match.
