Inside the North City, Lu An was walking on the streets. In order to better protect himself, he changed his clothes to black. In the Abyss of Hell, most people wore black. After all, in such a dark environment, black was the best protection.
The North City was very big, and there were indeed a lot of people. There were many shops here, and many people went to each shop to buy things. Lu An casually walked into a shop and found that it was as Beauty Yang had said. There were many different types of heaven techniques sold here. These heaven techniques were obviously the secrets of the sect, but they were openly sold here.
Fortunately, Lu An did not see anyone killing anyone on the streets of the North City. After walking down a street, Lu An entered a restaurant. After ordering something, he called the waiter to his side.
"Waiter, I would like to know more about this place." Lu An took out a fifth grade pill and placed it on the table, and said to the waiter, "If you tell me, I will give this pill to you."
When the waiter saw the fifth grade pill, his eyes immediately lit up. This was definitely a big deal. Even a hundred taels of gold could not compare to this pill. He quickly said to Lu An, "What do you want to know? I will definitely tell you everything I know!"
"Are there any rules in the North City?" Lu An asked.
"Rules?" The waiter was startled and quickly said, "It seems that you are a person from the Abyss of Hell! In fact, there are no big rules in the North City. You can't kill people from the City Lord's Mansion, and it's best not to let the people from the City Lord's Mansion see you killing people. Although they won't care, you still have to pay some taxes. People outside the city can be killed at will, but people in the city can only be killed at night. "
"Why?" Lu An asked.
"Because we also have to do business in the Abyss of Hell!" The waiter said with a smile, "If it's a mess even during the day, then who would dare to do business here? Moreover, even if you kill people at night, it's best not to make too much of a commotion. Otherwise, the City Lord's Mansion will still care. "
Lu An nodded slightly and asked, "Don't you care about other things?"
"Ah? What else is there to care about? " The waiter was stunned and asked, "You don't even care about killing people? Is there anything more serious than killing people?"
Lu An narrowed his eyes and asked calmly, "Are there any forces in North City that I need to pay attention to?"
"Family?" The waiter thought about it carefully and said, "There are many forces in the North City. Some of them work here during the day and leave the Abyss of Hell at night. Some of them stay here all the time, and their strength is definitely stronger than the others. Which one would you like to know? "
"The second one," Lu An said.
"The second type of big families are the Zhu, Wang, Liang, and Han families." The waiter said, "These four clans are the four biggest clans. There are a few others, but most of them are under these four clans. Moreover, it's not certain when they will disappear, so there's no need to remember."
When Lu An heard the word 'Zhu', his heart sank. If the Zhu Family was so powerful, then he would be in trouble.
"How strong are these four clans? What was the Patriarch's cultivation level? What's the Realm of the City Lord? "Lu An asked.
"The City Lord is a Level Eight Heavenly Master, and the Masters of the four clans are at the peak of Level Seven," the waiter said.
Lu An was stunned and asked, "How can you be so sure?"
"Because it's the rule." The waiter said, "Think about it. All Level Eight Heavenly Masters in the Eight Ancient Continents must enter the Four Great Empires and be under their management. Even here, they can't break the rule. Otherwise, the Abyss of Hell will threaten the Four Great Empires. How can they survive?"
"Even so, there are eight Level Eight Heavenly Masters in the Abyss of Hell and a King of Hell whose strength is unknown. This kind of strength is already terrifying!" The waiter said, "Moreover, even the eight City Lords can't stay here all the time. I also heard that the eight City Lords are actually the generals of the Four Great Empires!"
Lu An was stunned and frowned. If that was the case, then it was the Four Great Empires that allowed this place to exist.
"Then, will the City Lord take care of the affairs in the city?" Lu An asked.
"Unless someone attacks the City Lord Mansion or destroys the entire city, they won't." The waiter immediately answered, "The Abyss of Hell is a place with high freedom. If the City Lord Mansion takes care of everything, what's the difference between this place and the outside world?"
After thinking for a while, the waiter asked Lu An, "Sir, do you know about the Hell Arena?"
"I know a little," Lu An said, "What's wrong?"
"We all know that the Hell Arena is jointly held by the Four Great Empires!" The waiter approached Lu An and whispered, "Firstly, it's to select talents. Secondly, it's to entertain the Royal Family of the Four Great Empires. After all, it's much more interesting to see Heavenly Masters killing each other than playing with birds! "
"…"
Lu An frowned and said, "Thank you. You can take the elixir."
Hearing this, the waiter hurriedly revealed a smile and quickly put away the medicinal pills. He nodded and bowed to Lu An before leaving.
There were some delicacies on the table. Lu An ate symbolically while thinking about the Abyss of Hell. According to what the waiter said, no one would care about killing people in the Abyss of Hell. However, they couldn't kill people in the city during the day. Furthermore, the only Level Eight Heavenly Master in the city wouldn't take action. As such, the strongest person in the city would be a Level Seven Heavenly Master.
Thinking of this, Lu An smiled bitterly. No wonder Beauty Yang asked him to come here. She probably already knew the rules here. If there was a Level Eight Heavenly Master here who could take action, she definitely wouldn't ask him to come.
However, with Lu An's current strength, he didn't have much confidence to fight with a Level Seven Peak Heavenly Master. Basically, he would lose more than he would win. It wasn't that he didn't compare his strength with Yao, but the difference was still too great.
However, it was also impossible for these people to kill him.
Very quickly, Lu An decided that his next goal was to completely eliminate the Zhu Family. However, once he fought with a Level Seven Heavenly Master, the city would definitely be destroyed. The best way was to think of a way to lure the Zhu Family out of the city, and then defeat them one by one.
After finishing his meal, Lu An was almost done with his thoughts. After leaving the restaurant, Lu An prepared to find a place to stay in the city. However, Lu An didn't know where to buy a house. After asking around, he found out that there was no need to buy a house here. He could just stay at night.
If there were other people in the house, he could just kill them. If he couldn't beat them and was killed, he could only blame it on his bad luck.
Therefore, when night fell, people with low strength would hide in the corner of every house to sleep, or dig a tunnel underground to sleep. Danger lurked everywhere at night. It was also possible to be suddenly killed by the person under the bed while sleeping.
Lu An continued to walk on the streets, asking around for information. He wanted to adapt to life in the North City as soon as possible. Finally, the day passed and entered the Xu hour, which represented the arrival of night.
The time between the Xu hour and the Chen hour was the night of the entire Abyss of Hell. It was also during this time period that even the city became extremely dangerous.
Half an hour before Xu Shi, the entire street had basically become empty. Those who could leave the Abyss of Hell quickly left. Those who couldn't leave went home or looked for a place to stay. The advantage of looking for a place in advance was that if he bumped into someone else, he could immediately change places. After the Xu hour, everything was set.
After entering the Xu hour, the entire North City was dead silent. Who knew how many people were hiding in various corners, hoping that they could survive this night.
Facing the empty streets, Lu An also prepared to find a place to stay. The matter of the Zhu Family had to be discussed at length. He needed to find a place to cultivate.
In order to give himself some peace and quiet, Lu An didn't choose a house that was too close to the streets. Instead, he kept searching deeper. After walking through a full six streets, he finally arrived at a seemingly inconspicuous alley. The houses here were very simple and crude. Lu An randomly found a relatively clean courtyard and walked in.
Spreading out his perception, everything in the courtyard entered Lu An's perception. There was no one in the courtyard, not even in the depths of the ground.
Lu An pushed open the door and spread the quilt in the ring on the bed. Then, he sat on it and began to cultivate.
Lu An was still cultivating his One Heavenly Art, considering the possibility of all things in the world returning to origin. Time passed little by little. Soon, more than two hours had passed and it was the Xi hour.
At this moment, Lu An's brows suddenly twitched. That was because he sensed that in the tangled alley outside his courtyard, a figure was running at full speed!
