Chapter 991: Four Great Divine Clans

Because they needed to take care of Old Huang, Su Han and the others didn’t travel day and night, and they would stop to rest when passing through major cities.

Every major city had a black market. Su Han sent Du Yao to the black market to gather information about Ning Feifan, while sending Old Huang to inquire about the Black Abyss. As for himself, he was observing the strong ones in the Saint Realm.

There weren’t too many saints within Prison State, totaling less than thirty people. However, due to the Black Abyss, all the Immortal Forces sent strong individuals into Prison State. Su Han wanted to know the enemy as well as the friends.

“Master, still no news!”

Du Yao returned, without bringing any good news to Su Han. These information dealers didn’t know Ning Feifan, nor had any related news.

Su Han was already prepared for this mentally, so he was not discouraged and instead asked Du Yao to continue investigating.

“Brother, this time it’s a big deal. It’s said that the Yin Yang Great Emperor of the Bagua Imperial Palace personally deduced, spreading the deduction result of ‘Beneath the Black Abyss, there must be gods and demons.’ Therefore, most of the Immortal Forces in the Central Plains have sent people, and now quite a few have arrived at Silver City, eager to venture into the Black Abyss!”

Old Huang took a sip from a wine jug in his hand, seeming content and then reported excitedly to Su Han.

Beneath the Black Abyss, there must be gods and demons?

Su Han narrowed his eyes slightly, because he also had faith in the deduction skill of the Yin Yang Great Emperor. With the strength of the Yin Yang Great Emperor, if not considered the very best, his deduction skill was indeed top-notch.

The eye over Red Moon City and the white hair beneath the Black Abyss—if truly related to gods and demons, it won’t be merely saints taking action. I’m afraid all the Great Emperors of the Central Plains will gather at the Black Abyss.

However, Great Emperor Realm powerhouses aren’t impulsive, as this involves gods and demons. Even Great Emperors face the risk of falling. Therefore, they sent saints to first investigate the situation under the Black Abyss. If there really are gods and demons, they might then appear in person.

“Any other news?”

Su Han provided Old Huang with sufficient activity funds, having some interest in the Black Abyss incident as well, although his main target remained Ning Feifan.

“There’s another rumor; it’s said that this time even the Four Great Divine Clans have been stirred and sent people here.”

The Four Great Divine Clans?

Su Han’s eyes narrowed. Having been in the Central Plains for such a long time, and even playing the role of the Nineteenth Prince, Su Han was also aware of some top secrets.

Forces with Great Emperor Realm powerhouses are referred to as Immortal Forces, whereas above them are the Divine Clans.

The so-called Divine Clans are top forces whose ancestors had God Realm powerhouses and left behind Divine Artifacts.

Although the Heavenly Sword Dynasty had produced the Slashing Sky Great Emperor, it had no Divine Artifacts as the foundation, therefore it’s an Immortal Force, not a Divine Dynasty.

Reportedly, within the Desolate Heavenly Ancient Realm, there are ten Divine Clans, and there are four within the Central Plains, known as the Four Great Divine Clans.

These Four Great Divine Clans are quite interesting. Named after the four seasons, they are the Chun Clan, Xia Clan, Qiu Clan, and Dong Clan!

The Four Great Divine Clans don’t appear to the outside and live in the Great Emperor’s Void Realm, leaving only a portal for others, making it rare for outsiders to see or enter their realm.

King Yama’s Palace is called the number one dark force in the Central Plains, but it is merely the first in darkness. Truly standing above in the Central Plains are these Four Great Divine Clans.

On the Hidden Dragon List, the Imperial Son of Zhong Kui ranked fifth, but the top four are the Divine Children of the Four Great Divine Clans. Even though Su Han killed the Imperial Son of Zhong Kui, he only replaced his position on the Hidden Dragon List, becoming ranked fifth.

Among the top four, with Su Han’s current strength, he still cannot shake their positions, showing how terrifying their innate abilities and power are.

Generally, without significant events, members of the Four Great Divine Clans don’t step out from the Great Emperor’s Void Realm to the outside world, since they have Divine Artifacts as the foundation, and their cultivation environment exceeds the outside world several times over.

Yet this time, with the appearance of the Black Abyss involving gods and demons, it has attracted the attention of the Four Great Divine Clans, prompting them to leave the Great Emperor’s Void Realm and come to Prison State, seeking to discover the truth.

“Brother, I’ve also heard an interesting piece of news. Not sure if you’re interested.”

Old Huang took a gulp of wine, his sallow face flushed, eyes blurred as if about to get drunk.

“Speak!”

Su Han waited for Old Huang to continue.

“The Goddess of the Xia Clan declared that she vows to kill the Nineteenth Prince of the Heavenly Sword Dynasty to avenge the Imperial Son of Zhong Kui!”

Old Huang grinned and revealed this piece of hearsay.

Hm?

Su Han furrowed his brow. Is this aimed at me?

“It is said that the Goddess of the Xia Clan and the Imperial Son of Zhong Kui had feelings for each other. King Yama’s Palace even contacted the Xia Clan, intending for them to become cultivation partners. Unfortunately, before that could happen, the Imperial Son of Zhong Kui fell.”

“I heard that the Goddess of the Xia Clan even went to the Heavenly Sword Dynasty, wanting to kill the Nineteenth Prince, but the Nineteenth Prince never appeared, eventually being forced back by the Flying Immortal Great Emperor.”

Old Huang really gathered a lot of hearsay, even knowing this.

The Goddess of the Xia Clan seeking revenge for the Imperial Son of Zhong Kui was somewhat unexpected for Su Han, knowing that the Goddess of the Xia Clan is very powerful, ranking second on the Hidden Dragon List, reportedly already a Saint Realm Ninth Layer powerhouse.

Although the special physique or other talents of the Goddess of the Xia Clan are unknown, becoming a clan’s goddess is enough to prove her innate talent and strength, with combat power likely rivaling a quasi-emperor.

Quite the hassle!

However, Su Han wasn’t afraid. Soldiers come, water covers, and even if it came to a real fight, Su Han wasn’t convinced he’d necessarily lose.

But why does Old Huang know these rumors and tell them to me?

This time, Su Han agreed to bring Old Huang to Silver City, not just because of his request, but because of Su Han’s curiosity about him.

Old Huang isn’t as despicable as he appears. However, Su Han couldn’t see through him, even with the Nine Heavens Eye and the small causality technique, he couldn’t detect anything unusual about Old Huang.

Missing a front tooth, appearing lecherous, thin stature, Heavenly King Realm First Layer—all these Su Han checked over and over, but Old Huang always managed to give Su Han unexpected surprises.

Su Han gazed at Old Huang, trying to see through his facade to his true nature. Yet Old Huang was still drunk, even slumping down, leaning against a roadside stone and falling asleep.

“Sooner or later, you’ll show your true colors!”

Su Han didn’t confront Old Huang because he didn’t know if Old Huang was friend or foe but remained on guard.

As Old Huang slept drunkenly, Su Han carried him along, finding Du Yao and preparing to leave, continuing their journey.

Just then, the crowd became agitated, making a lot of noise.

“The Goddess of the Xia Clan is here!”
