The second level of cultivator power can actually be divided into two levels strictly speaking.
What distinguishes these two levels is whether there are land gods among the cultivators.
In a force, whether there are land gods or not, the strength is naturally completely different.
Shu Guan looked down at each force.
Of course, the forces going down are stronger.
For each force, Shu Guan would spend a thousand silver dollars to take a look at the general situation of the cultivator's force.
And when he saw the penultimate cultivator force, he saw a rather familiar name:
Fan family.
Behind the words "Fan Family", I made a note and wrote the words "Land Gods".
The second level of cultivator forces, starting from the third-ranked Fan family, began to include land god-level cultivators.
Therefore, the strength of the top three companies is completely different from the other five companies.
Then Shuguan spent another thousand silver dollars to look at the detailed information of the Fan family.
The Fan family has a land-god-level ancestor. He has two sons, Fan Chengze and Fan Chengzhi, who are powerful in the Nascent Soul Realm respectively. There are also five powerful men in the Fetal Movement Realm. In addition, there are a total of thirty-nine in their family. The name of the practitioner.
The Fan family is also closely connected with the secular world in Shanghai. They run many businesses in Shanghai, such as the Qing Gang, which has actually been secretly controlled by the Fan family.
Of course, these are only the most basic information about the Fan family.
"Then if you want to know more information about the Fan family, how much should you pay?"
After reading it, Shu Guan asked.
"The Fan family doesn't have any special secrets, at least we at the Secret Order don't know about it. What we have in the meeting is just the Taoism, character and temperament that the Fan family and his son are good at."
"If you want to know, just pay thirty thousand silver dollars."
Woman No. 3 replied.
After Shu Guan thought for a few seconds, he said decisively:
"I want to see."
Yes, he wants to see it.
Because a descendant of the Fan family died in his hands, Fan Lei, the culprit who killed Wang Ru.
So Shu Guan and the Fan family actually have a big feud.
The "Mr. Fan" who came to his bedroom that morning must have been one of Fan Chengze or Fan Chengzhi!
With such an enemy force that has land gods, Shu Guan will naturally have the opportunity to understand as much as possible about the other party.
These thirty thousand silver dollars must be spent!
Then Ms. No. 3 gave him a few pages. After Shu Guan wrote down all the contents on those pages, he returned the pages to Girl No. 3, and then continued to pick up the original album and read it. .
Then he saw another familiar name:
Dajiangtang.
Ranking second among the eight forces in Shanghai's second tier is an organization called Dajiangtang.
Shu Guan had heard of this name. The first time he met Zhang Hushan at his home was on the night when Zhang Hushan was poisoned. The practitioner who was supposed to protect Zhang Hushan claimed to be from Dajiangtang.
Later, he also heard about this organization from Bai Zhiweng.
It is a cultivator force similar to a killer organization. As long as you are willing to pay enough money, they are willing to kill anyone for you.
And it's not just killing people, they can do a lot for you.
Shu Guan spent another thousand silver dollars to read more detailed information about Dajiang Hall.
Dajiangtang is a more mysterious organization than the Blood Demon Sect, and is certainly more powerful.
The most mysterious thing about Dajiangtang is that no one knows where the main hall of this organization is. Of course, the identity of the hall leader is also mysterious, but what is certain is that he is a land god. Regarding this, the Secret Order The information records this in a very definite tone.
As for other things, everything is uncertain.
There are several powerful Nascent Souls in Dajiangtang, but they cannot be determined.
There are several Fetal Movement Realm experts in Dajiangtang, but they cannot be identified.
It is impossible to determine how many practitioners there are in Dajiangtang.
According to the speculation in the data, the killers in Dajiangtang may have multiple identities, and many of them may even be practitioners from other forces.
"If I need to know more information about this Dajiangtang, how many silver coins will I need?"
After reading it, Shu Guan asked the same question.
"There is no need for silver coins, because our secret cult has no other information about Dajiangtang. This is an extremely mysterious organization."
This answer came from the mist.
…
Dajiangtang is already so powerful, so among the second-level cultivator forces, what kind of force can stabilize it, so that Dajiangtang can only be ranked second?
With such curiosity, Shu Wang looked at the name at the bottom.
Qingmei Society.
Shu Guan saw these three words.
The notes below read the words Liao Liao: Yao Clan, two land gods.
"Monster clan?"
Shu Guan raised his head in surprise.
"That's right, all the Qingmei Club members are monsters. Do you want to know more details?"
"nature."
So after spending a thousand silver dollars, Shu Guan obtained more detailed information about the Qingmei Club.
This is actually a cultivator force composed entirely of monsters, and the earliest organizers are a couple of monsters. Both of them are great monsters at the land god level.
The number of members of this Qingmei Association is very small, with only nine demon clans in total. This is not surprising. After all, the number of demon clans in today's world is already extremely rare.
Among the nine demon clans, except for the two land fairy couples, among the remaining seven demon clans, five are at the Nascent Soul Realm, and the other two are at the Fetal Movement Realm.
No wonder there are only nine demon clan members in Qingmei Society, but their ability surpasses that of Dajiangtang, making them the most powerful family among the second-level cultivators.
Shu Guan couldn't help but think of the female fish demon he met at the door of this room not long ago. He wondered if she was a member of the Qingmei Club.
The realm of the female fish demon is the fetal movement realm.
Although this Qingmei Society is extremely powerful, it operates in a very low-key manner. Apart from gatherings within their own society, they rarely come into contact with other human cultivators.
"How many silver coins will it cost to provide more detailed information about Qingmei Club?"
Then Shu Guan asked Ms. No. 3 this question again.
If the price is right, Shu Guan is willing to take a closer look at the three top three companies among the second-level practitioners.
"three million."
Ms. No. 3 said a number that made Shu Guan immediately give up, and then said:
"However, you must reach a more advanced senior membership before you are eligible to purchase more information about Qingmei Club."
…I don’t have that much money anyway…
Shu Guan consoled himself in this way.
Then he took a deep breath and turned to the last page of the book.
Even power organizations such as Dajiangtang and Qingmei Society can only become second-level cultivator forces. So what kind of terrifying strength should the first-level ones have?
Shu Guan's mood at this moment was not just curiosity, but confusion.
On the last page of the paper, there were only a few lines of words written on the names of the two factions.
One of them is the Seven Immortals Alliance.
This did not surprise Shu Guan. The Seven Immortals Alliance was originally the most powerful cultivator force in Dahua, and its power was far beyond the reach of all other cultivator forces in Dahua combined.
Therefore, even if the Seven Immortals Alliance does not have many people in Shen City, and there are no land gods sitting in charge, it is still called the Seven Immortals Alliance, which is a guarantee of strength and must be the most powerful cultivator force in Shen City.
What really puzzled Shu Guan was another cultivator force that could be compared with the Seven Immortals Alliance. Even if it could be compared with the Seven Immortals Alliance in Shen City, this was already a very remarkable thing.
Now he saw the name of that force.
Tantai family.
…
Tantai family?
Shu Guan felt that the name sounded familiar, and then he immediately remembered where he had heard this name.
Just in the early morning of last month, Wang Maorong shouted the three words "Tantai Family" to those members of the Black Dragon Society of the Rising Sun Kingdom in the Runling Hall, and said that they were in the Runling Hall and accepted the Tantai family. The shelter of home.
Then those practitioners from the Black Dragon Society immediately stopped attacking Wang Maorong and his daughter.
The three words "Tantai Family" seem to have some magical power, and even the practitioners of the Black Dragon Society of the Kingdom of the Rising Sun have to be afraid of them.
That was the first time Shu Guan heard this name a few months after arriving in Shanghai.
Of course, there were very few practitioners who he had actually contacted and communicated with after coming to Shanghai. They were not newbies in the spiritual world like Yang Ruijun, or strangers like Bai Zhiweng who came to Shanghai around the same time as him.
However, after Zuo Shu read the notes about the Tantai family on the page, he took a breath of cold air and suddenly understood.
The Tantai family’s note only has two words:
Immortal.
The immortals mentioned by practitioners always refer to real immortals.
In other words, the Tantai family has the existence of real people in the fairyland.
Shu Guan's mind was shocked for a while before he came back to his senses.
"I want to see other information about the Tantai family."
Then he raised his eyes and said firmly to Ms. No. 3.
…
The Tantai family is a very old family.
Its history is older than the Seven Immortals Alliance, and even older than the Heavenly Court.
When this human race in the world was born is a secret that has long been submerged in the long river of time. According to the inference of the current practice world, it should be between the Second and Third Yuanhui eras in ancient times.
Of course, many people question this inference. Some people think that it should have been born together with those powerful wizards and monsters during the First Yuanhui era. Others think that the human race did not appear in the world until the end of the Third Yuanhui era. time, and after experiencing the fourth Yuanhui era, which is the age of gods, they gradually became the most important race in this world.
But there is no dispute about the fact that the surname Tantai is one of the oldest surnames in the human race.
In some ancient books that were lucky enough to survive the chaos of the Monkey Army, it is clearly recorded that among the eight oldest surnames of the human race, Tantai is one of them.
Such an ancient surname naturally had a special glorious moment in human history.
Of course, the surname Tantai today cannot be compared with its most glorious time. At least after the establishment of the Great China Dynasty, the surname Tantai was not conspicuous in the history of the Great China Dynasty. It seemed to be lost to everyone. trend.
But sometimes, "oldness" itself is a strength.
Especially a surname that has continued since the birth of the human race and has never been cut off in bloodline inheritance. It must have a heritage and destiny that cannot be underestimated.
For example, the Tantai branch in Shencheng has always been a family of practitioners. It has experienced prosperity and decline.
And more than a thousand years ago, when the fate of this family reached its lowest point and was about to be wiped out by a powerful enemy, a genius appeared and achieved the realm of immortality in an era when the Great Dao was in such decline.
Since the beginning of the Seventh Yuan Hui, the number of new immortals born in heaven and earth has become less and less, and in the past thousand years, it has been unprecedented.
But thousands of years ago, there were still two or three.
And the peerless genius named Tantai Jingming is one of them.
Since the emergence of this peerless genius from the Celestial Realm, the Tantai family has gotten rid of its declining fortunes, destroyed its once powerful enemies, and prospered again.
Over the past thousand years, under the painstaking management and cultivation of the immortal Tantai Jingming, the Tantai family now has more than 200 practitioners among the direct descendants.
Among them, there are two land gods, six powerful ones in the Nascent Soul Realm, and more than 30 powerful ones in the Fetal Movement Realm.
This kind of strength is naturally far inferior to that of the Seven Immortals Alliance, but looking at the entire Dahua cultivation world, it can be regarded as a quite powerful cultivator force.
As for the Fan family, which is also a family of practitioners, the Fan family is actually just a vassal family in front of the Tantai family.
The Tantai family and the Fan family have different acting styles. They are not direct. They do not have much direct contact with the mortal world. They do not control the Qinggang and run many businesses like the Fan family.
However, it does not mean that the Tantai family really does not know the fireworks in the world, but the "fireworks" they need will naturally be filially worshiped by vassal families like the Fan family.
In fact, among the second-level cultivator forces in Shencheng, there are a total of three, including the Fan family, that are vassal forces of the Tantai family.
As for the third and fourth level forces, the number is even greater. About 60% of the forces are dependent on the Tantai family.
A large part of the benefits obtained by these cultivators from the mortal world eventually flowed to the Tantai family, which was hidden behind the scenes.
It can be said that Shencheng is actually the Shencheng of the Tantai family.
Regarding this point, even the Alliance of Seven Immortals has acquiesced, and as long as the Tantai family maintains its current low-key style of not directly intervening in the affairs of the mortal world, the Alliance of Seven Immortals has no intention of competing with the Tantai family for control of Shencheng.
Shu Guan finally finished reading the basic information about the Tantai family.
After a moment of silence, a wry smile appeared on his face.
Three months ago, when he stepped into Shanghai in the drizzle, he was ambitious to take the city into his own hands.
Of course, at that time, he didn't know the structure of Shencheng's cultivation world, so he came up with such an idea.
Now I finally know that Shencheng has actually been controlled by others for a long time, and it is also a family with a real immortal in charge.
If he still insists on his original idea, he will definitely become the enemy of this Tantai family.
Yuanying is easy to say, he is no longer afraid, and many powerful Yuanyings have died in his hands.
Shu Guan felt that if he practiced for a few more years, he might be able to compete with the land gods.
But this is a real fairy!
No matter how confident Shu Guan was, he didn't think he could fight against an immortal.
It seemed that the wry smile on Shu Guan's face caused some misunderstanding to Ms. No. 3.
Then an old yet elegant voice sounded under the mist.
"These information on the Tantai family were all from half a year ago. I was planning to revise them in the past few days."
"After all, the number of land gods in the Tantai family should be increased by another one soon."
"Because the Tantai family now has another peerless genius."
Shu Guan raised his eyebrows and asked:
"A peerless genius? Can he be compared to that Tantai Jingming?"
"...Perhaps, it's more than that..."
After the mist, there was a sigh.
"His name is Tantai Yu."
