Qin Han Chu remained silent.
He hadn't expected Dragon Gate to have such a history.
He had lived in Dragon Gate for over two years and had never heard of this matter.
"Is the Heavenly God Hall trying to make a comeback?"
"It seems your strength has recovered well."
The man said nothing, merely staring coldly at Qin Han Chu.
"Last question, what is the cultivation realm of the strongest person in your Heavenly God Hall?" Qin Han Chu asked.
"Kill me, I won't tell you any of this," the man stated firmly.
Qin Han Chu stuffed the towel back into the man's mouth and then said, "If you're only going to speak halfway, you might as well not speak at all."
Before long, Wan Hu walked over with a plastic bucket.
"Marquis, I've brought the syrup you asked for," Wan Hu said.
Qin Han Chu pointed at the man who had just spoken and said, "Give him a syrup bath!"
Although Wan Hu didn't know why, he poured the syrup onto the man.
The others were also very confused about what Qin Han Chu was doing.
That evening, an ant followed the syrup on the ground onto the man's body.
The man didn't feel anything amiss yet.
Two hours later, dense swarms of ants appeared at the man's feet.
They began collecting the syrup on the ground.
There was so much syrup that it attracted more and more ants.
By dawn, countless ants were at the man's feet.
Ants had already begun to crawl onto the man's body.
At this moment, everyone finally understood what Qin Han Chu intended to do.
Three days and three nights later, the man who had spoken earlier finally met Satan.
As soon as Wan Hu and the others had finished cleaning up the scene, Qin Han Chu walked in with a hamburger and a bottle of mineral water.
Upon seeing Qin Han Chu, everyone's eyes were filled with terror.
In their eyes, Qin Han Chu was like a demon god.
"Old rules, whoever is willing to answer my questions, I will send them on their way with good food and drink."
"There is only one spot, first come, first served."
"As for the rest, they will have to suffer the same fate as the one just now."
Hearing this, the fear in everyone's eyes intensified.
More than a dozen people began to make muffled sounds, indicating their eagerness to answer.
Qin Han Chu removed the towel from one of them and then gave him something to eat and drink.
"Speak, what is the cultivation realm of the strongest person in the Heavenly God Hall?" Qin Han Chu asked after the man had finished eating and drinking.
"It's the Martial King realm, and there are currently two of them!"
"One is the hall master of our Sun God Hall, and the other is the hall master of the Star God Hall."
The man answered hastily and provided further detailed explanations.
"How many branches does the Heavenly God Hall have?" Qin Han Chu continued to ask.
"Six branches!"
Qin Han Chu nodded with satisfaction. "Where is the Heavenly God Hall located?"
"I truly don't know that."
"We travel in and out via sealed aircraft."
"Only the pilots and high-ranking members of the hall know the specific location."
"I am absolutely not lying."
The man, fearing Qin Han Chu wouldn't believe him, shouted in terror.
Qin Han Chu believed the man wasn't lying.
After all, Dragon Gate operated in a similar manner.
These people were just pawns; they wouldn't know any true secrets.
"How do you contact the pilot?" Qin Han Chu asked again.
"I don't know that either. Only team leaders can contact the pilot."
Qin Han Chu pondered, feeling he had no more questions.
"Alright, you pass!" With that, Qin Han Chu placed a palm strike on the man's head.
The man ascended to heaven without any pain.
"Do any of you have anything else to add?"
"If you can provide useful information, I will grant you the same treatment."
Qin Han Chu surveyed the people around him and asked.
At this point, only one person was shifting his body, as if he had something to say.
Qin Han Chu approached him and removed the towel.
"I saw yellow sand from the aircraft. The headquarters of the Heavenly God Hall should be in the desert," the man said.
Qin Han Chu nodded. "That's a decent clue. I'll have someone bring you food and water. You can depart after you've eaten and drunk your fill."
With that, Qin Han Chu left the training ground.
He knew he wouldn't be able to extract any more useful information from these individuals.
Concurrently, a uniquely designed warplane was speeding through the sky above a vast desert.
As the aircraft descended, a sand dune in the distance suddenly transformed into a massive whirlpool of quicksand.
The warplane slowly landed in the center of the quicksand vortex and then disappeared into the sea of sand with it.
As the aircraft vanished, the quicksand vortex ceased its motion.
This was the entrance to the Heavenly God Hall's base.
The quicksand flowed away through a sand discharge pipe, leaving only the warplane parked on the tarmac.
The hatch opened, and a group of people disembarked.
Moments later, these individuals arrived at the Heavenly God Hall's council chamber.
In this chamber stood six colossal statues.
Below the statues were six grand and imposing thrones.
Seated on these thrones were six elderly men and women.
These six individuals were the administrators of the six divine halls.
To be precise, they were merely proxies for their respective hall masters.
"Greetings to the Six Divine Envoys!"
The group that had returned from outside bowed in greeting.
"Why are there only a few of you?"
"Where are the warriors of my Sun God Hall?"
Among the six, an old man clad in golden robes spoke in a deep voice.
"They did not appear. They are likely all but lost."
The group that had returned from outside was the pilots of the Heavenly God Hall.
Much like the captains of Dragon Gate, their sole responsibility was to transport the martial artists on missions; they were not involved in other matters.
"The strong warriors of our Sun God Hall would not perish so easily."
"They might merely be trapped."
"Prepare yourselves. I will mobilize the strong warriors of the Sun God Hall to search for them."
The Sun Divine Envoy spoke coldly.
"Our Star God Hall will also send people to assist you," the Star Divine Envoy said with a smile.
The Sun Divine Envoy snorted. "Capturing Qin Han Chu is a mission bestowed upon our Sun God Hall by the God King. We can accomplish it ourselves and do not require the participation of your Star God Hall."
"We are all serving the God King and share a common enemy. Why be so calculative?" the Star Divine Envoy continued to say with a smile.
"We appreciate the offer," the Sun Divine Envoy stated, then turned and left.
...
In Lijiang City, Qin Han Chu was dining alone in a restaurant.
Just then, Ji Huairou walked over and said with a smile, "Aren't you lonely eating alone?"
"What do you want to ask?" Qin Han Chu asked after taking a sip of his drink.
"Who were the people who attacked you?"
Ji Huairou understood Qin Han Chu's personality.
His directness indicated that Qin Han Chu was not inclined for casual conversation at the moment.
"Do you know of the Heavenly God Hall?"
Qin Han Chu did not conceal his knowledge and asked.
Ji Huairou frowned, her eyes filled with confusion. "Heavenly God Hall? What faction is that? I've never heard of it!"
"This is the first time I've heard of it too."
"This faction seems very powerful, capable of rivaling Dragon Gate."
Qin Han Chu continued.
"What did you say? This faction can rival Dragon Gate?" Ji Huairou exclaimed in disbelief.
