Three days later.
Chen Nan, Guo Yu, Di Ting.
And Qi Ye, Kuang Tu, Qiu Shui, Bai Yu.
The six people and one dog rode horses and left Guangling Prefecture, heading towards Fengdu City, thousands of miles to the north.
Chen Nan had fulfilled his agreement with Manager Wang.
He gave him fifteen thousand Soul Devouring Pills.
The remaining pills were all pocketed by him.
Although he had now obtained the power of four laws.
But to control more law powers.
He still needed to improve his cultivation.
As the old saying goes.
You need to be strong yourself to forge iron.
Although he still owed Qingyun Tower one type of pill.
Manager Wang had given him a communication token.
When Qingyun Tower needed to refine pills, they would send Chen Nan a message and provide him with the medicinal ingredients.
"Big Brother, there's something I don't understand. Why did you resign from your current official positions?" On a fine steed, Guo Yu looked at the curved bow in his hand with great affection.
This was forged with the help of experts from the Demon Suppressing Division.
He had also tied the bowstring of the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow onto it, making it incredibly powerful.
Chen Nan casually replied, "Entering the capital without a summons is tantamount to rebellion. If we were to enter Fengdu City with our official positions, we would undoubtedly attract attention."
"Before we could make any moves, we would be apprehended."
"And the Heavenly Supervision Department would be nipped in the bud."
Although Chen Nan and the others had resigned from their official positions.
The Underworld Official Token in their bodies still existed.
Resigning from their official positions was merely a ruse to better develop the Heavenly Supervision Department.
It would take seven days to travel from Guangling Prefecture to Fengdu City by horse.
During these seven days, they experienced strong winds and heavy snow.
As a result, what was originally a seven-day journey took them nine days to reach the foot of Fengdu City's walls.
Looking at the black city that resembled an ancient beast.
Chen Nan felt a powerful sense of oppression.
After all.
This was the transit hub of the entire Three Realms.
The dead from the Three Realms would embark on the cycle of reincarnation and be reborn as humans from here.
Similarly.
Beneath Fengdu City lay the eighteen layers of hell that the billions of beings in the Three Realms feared.
"My Lord, we have entered Fengdu City. What do we do next?" Qi Ye looked at Chen Nan.
Chen Nan shook his head.
Although he had been ordered to establish the Heavenly Supervision Department.
He had not received any decree from the Great Emperor of Fengdu.
For example, what to do next.
Just then.
He felt a wave of energy from the Son of Heaven Token.
His soul power entered his storage space and after seeing the information from the Son of Heaven Token, he smiled faintly, "The Great Emperor has decreed that we first destroy the Lu family."
He was already worried about not finding a suitable opportunity to rescue the Lu sisters.
Who would have thought that the Great Emperor of Fengdu's first task was to destroy the Lu family?
This was simply giving him a legitimate reason to destroy the Lu family!
Qi Ye and the other three involuntarily swallowed hard.
Holy crap!
They had just arrived in Fengdu City and were already assigned the task of destroying the Lu family?
Although the Lu family was a family in the mortal world.
The matriarch of the Lu family was the sister of Imperial Tutor Zheng Yu!
Destroying the Lu family would be like beating the grass to startle the snake!
Thinking of this.
The four of them couldn't help but shiver.
They seemed to have understood the true intention of the Great Emperor of Fengdu.
He not only wanted to destroy the Lu family.
But also wanted to destroy the Imperial Tutor, the patron behind the Lu family!
Exciting!
This job was far more exciting than they had imagined!
It was simply too damn exciting!
"Bai Yu, you go find us a place to stay," Chen Nan said. "Qi Ye, Kuang Tu, Qiu Shui, the three of you go investigate the Lu family's influence in Fengdu City and which factions they are allied with."
Know yourself and your enemy, and you will win a hundred battles.
Since they were going to move against the Lu family.
They needed to know them inside and out.
"Why am I the one to find a place to stay?" Bai Yu was somewhat displeased with Chen Nan's arrangement.
She felt Chen Nan was discriminating against women.
Chen Nan: "The three of them, roughnecks, will definitely not be as good as you at finding accommodation."
"En, I believe in your judgment."
"You will definitely find a place that satisfies everyone."
"This is the truth, not flattery!"
Bai Yu gave Chen Nan a disdainful look and then they parted ways.
Qi Ye and the other two entered the surging crowd to investigate the Lu family's social network.
As for Chen Nan, he wandered around Fengdu City with Guo Yu and Di Ting.
Guo Yu had never seen such a grand spectacle.
Seeing the bustling Fengdu City, his eyes were not enough to take it all in.
He looked around everywhere.
He also bought a lot of snacks he had never seen before. He ate them greedily and then noticed Di Ting's abnormality, "Brother Dog, this is almost your home, why aren't you happy at all?"
Di Ting lived in the eighteen layers of hell.
Now that they had arrived in Fengdu City, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they were close to home.
Di Ting did not speak.
His eyes were very solemn.
Chen Nan asked with concern, "Brother Dog, what happened?"
Di Ting: "Nothing, I just remembered some old things."
Chen Nan knew that Di Ting had definitely sensed something.
But since she was unwilling to say, he wouldn't press further.
"Big Brother, where are we going now? We can't just wander around the city, can we?" Guo Yu asked.
Chen Nan said, "Let's go to Qingyun Tower... to sell pills."
He had refined fifty thousand Soul Devouring Pills for Qingyun Tower.
He had withheld thirty-five thousand.
Although he had consumed some of them earlier.
He still had over thirty thousand in his possession.
He wanted to buy some medicinal ingredients to refine Body Seizing Pills.
Although he couldn't take Body Seizing Pills yet.
He still wanted to refine some pills.
To help Qi Ye and the others break through their limitations and become experts in the Ghost Realm.
Only by strengthening their overall strength could the purpose of the Heavenly Supervision Department be realized.
Consider it a small contribution to the underworld.
He was about to venture deep into the eighteen layers of hell anyway.
Once he met Empress Houtu.
He would return the Human Realm and the Animal Realm to her, and then he would return to the living world.
He just hoped that Azure Dragon wouldn't cause him any major trouble.
He spent five thousand Soul Devouring Pills.
Chen Nan exchanged them for medicinal ingredients to refine two hundred Body Seizing Pills.
After finishing this, he also received a message from Bai Yu, informing him that she had purchased a property in the south of the city.
Chen Nan immediately took Guo Yu and Di Ting with him.
The courtyard was not large.
It only had six rooms.
Fortunately, the house was fully furnished, meeting the standard of moving in with just a bag in the mortal world.
As night approached.
Guo Yu took out some ingredients from his storage artifact and began preparing dinner.
Di Ting, however, remained listless.
Chen Nan was not idle.
He stayed in the room and attempted to refine Body Seizing Pills.
The pill formula was something he had asked for from the old fellows of the Fan Tian Cult earlier.
At eight o'clock in the evening.
Just before dinner, Qi Ye, Kuang Tu, and Qiu Shui also came to find them.
The six people and one dog sat around the dining table. Qi Ye said, "My Lord, we have investigated the Lu family's network. Their relationship with the Zheng family is the closest."
"In addition, the Lu family also has a very close personal relationship with the Fifth Hall's King Yanluo."
"And this time, the Lu family forcibly took away the sisters Lu Bailing and Lu Qingqing to refine the Grand Pure Divine Pill for King Yanluo."
"It is said that King Yanluo was seriously injured ten thousand years ago and needs to recover from his injuries with the Grand Pure Divine Pill."
Chen Nan's eyes suddenly became serious.
He never imagined.
That the Lu family had King Yanluo as their patron.
If he destroyed the Lu family, King Yanluo might not seek trouble with him.
But if he rescued the Lu sisters, would King Yanluo let him go?
