Nine Regions Sword Emperor

"What is the purpose of this sudden Shadow Conference?"

"I don't know either. I heard it's because a little guy appeared in the Other Shore Era?"

"It seems to be related to the Blood Fate Gate. The Blood Fate Gate was destroyed and the Blood Fate Emperor was killed."

"Oh? The Blood Emperor has only recently joined us, and the fusion with the power of lifelessness is not yet apparent. How could someone detect his problem? Who did it? With the Blood Emperor's strength, he is not so easy to kill."

"It seems to be made by the Absolute Sword. This Absolute Sword even broke through the Shadow God War and rescued the Demon Ancestor."

"Absolute Sword? I don't think I've ever heard of that name before."

In the Other Shore Era, amidst the endless shadows of darkness, a colossal city stands.

This is Shadow City.

Hidden in the shadows, impossible to find, yet equally omnipresent.

And in the very center of Shadow City, in the main hall.

There are nine enormous thrones in total, all black in color, with special inscriptions carved on them, containing incredible power.

These nine enormous thrones belong to the true high-ranking members of Shadow City: the Six Pillars of State, the two deputy city lords of Shadow City, and the most mysterious and unpredictable Shadow City Lord.

Above these nine enormous thrones, there is an even taller throne, but this throne has always been vacant and has never had an owner.

This highest throne belongs to the creator of Shadow City, the origin of all lifeless power, the Mother of Lifeless.

However, the Mother of No Birth never truly came to Shadow City, and this throne has never had a master.

The entire Shadow City was built because of the power of lifelessness, and for the warriors of Shadow City, the Mother of Lifelessness is their ancestor and the source of all the power of lifelessness.

These nine thrones are rarely visited by anyone, unless it concerns some important matter in Shadow City. Otherwise, the six pillars of Shadow City and the deputy city lords all act independently.

But today is different. On seven of the nine thrones below, a figure sits. This is the most people gathered in Shadow City in recent eras.

Among the nine thrones below, there are two vacant positions. The first one belongs to the elusive Shadow City Lord.

Although the Shadow City Lord is the founder of Shadow City and holds a high position within it, he rarely appears in public. Major events in Shadow City are handled by the two deputy city lords and the six pillars of the state.

As for the other one, he is a deputy city lord of Shadow City. He has reached a critical juncture in his breakthrough and is therefore in seclusion.

In addition, the other deputy city lord and the six pillars of Shadow City are all gathered here today. It is clear that something big has happened in Shadow City, which is why the six pillars need to be summoned to discuss important matters.

"Is the city lord still not here?"

"The plan has reached its final stage, and the city lord needs to communicate with the Mother Goddess."

"Fu Ying is still in seclusion and cannot come out."

"So, this time, there will only be seven of us at the Shadow Conference?"

The figures atop these thrones exchanged glances and spoke in deep voices.

"Now that everyone's here, let's begin."

After everyone's voices subsided, an old man slowly spoke. He was dressed in a black robe that completely covered his body, and even in Shadow City, few people had seen his true face.

He was Qingying, another deputy city lord of Shadow City. Within Shadow City, Qingying had always kept a low profile, and even among the other six pillar kingdoms present, few had ever seen Qingying's true appearance.

However, none of the six pillars present would underestimate Qingying, because Qingying was appointed as the deputy city lord by the Shadow City Lord when Shadow City was established.

Over the long years, the other deputy city lord has been replaced by two others, but Qingying has always been the deputy city lord. In fact, all matters, big and small, in Shadow City are handled by Qingying.

Compared to the elusive Shadow City Lord, this Deputy City Lord Qingying is actually more like the Shadow City Lord.

The Shadow City was able to grow and expand, gradually becoming a vast shadow that shrouded the entire Other Shore Era, and Qingying played an indispensable role in this.

Upon hearing Qingying speak, the other six pillars of the state also fell silent and turned their gazes toward Qingying.

"The problem this time is how to deal with that Absolute Sword, who has become a major threat to Shadow City."

Qingying spoke calmly.

After he finished speaking, his gaze fell on the other martial artists present.

Six Pillar Kingdom.

They are all powerful figures within Shadow City, wielding immense influence there.

In particular, these six pillars of the state are all supreme experts. These six supreme experts are the most powerful force in Shadow City.

Moreover, these six pillars of the kingdom all possess the power of non-life, giving them a significant advantage when facing other human martial arts masters.

Currently, all the forces in the Other Shore Era are making concessions and even turning a blind eye to Shadow City, unwilling to be enemies with it, mainly because of the illustrious reputation of the Six Pillars Kingdom.

Hearing Qingying bring the topic back once again.

One of the burly men on one of the thrones spoke slowly.

"I just came out of seclusion, and this little guy ruined the Shadow City plan? The Blood Life Gate was destroyed by this person, the Shadow City's arrangements in the Pill Valley also failed, the Rock People were slaughtered by this person, and even the Demon Ancestor, who had been sealed long ago, was freed with his help?"

"This Absolute Sword has only been around for less than a year, yet in just one year, it has already ruined so many of Shadow City's plans?"

This burly man is Liaoying Divine General, one of the Six Pillars of Shadow City, and also the oldest among them.

He had been in seclusion and only emerged after receiving news of the Shadow Assembly. However, upon learning of Chu Fengmian's actions, his face was now filled with rage.

"This person dares to oppose Shadow City! Why not kill him as soon as possible? His continued existence is an insult to Shadow City!"

"This Absolute Sword is not easy to deal with. Rong Ying was forced to self-destruct by it before and escaped with his life. He was almost suppressed by that Absolute Sword."

Just as Liao Ying Shenjiang finished speaking, a voice rang out.

This was an old man, his body as thin as a skeleton, looking like an old man about to starve to death. He exuded an aura of decay, and was swaying precariously, as if he would die at any moment.

However, a martial artist with sufficient strength could see just how much power was contained within the seemingly withered old man's body.

This withered old man is also the Eastern Shadow General, one of the six pillars of Shadow City.

Upon hearing General Dongying speak, General Rongying's expression immediately turned extremely ugly. (End of Chapter)
