I am the Thunder Emperor in the fight

Faced with the combined attack of two lower-level Earthly Sovereigns, Night Falcon simply stood still, without even adopting a defensive stance.

He didn't move until the two men's attacks were about to hit him.

His movements didn't seem fast; he simply raised his hands, and his ten fingers, clad in "Touch of Eternal Night" gloves, gently plucked the strings in the air in front of him, as if playing a zither.

"Shadows...weave a web."

Chi Chi Chi!
Countless dark threads, thinner than a hair and almost invisible, burst forth from his fingertips in an instant, weaving and spreading at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye, forming a huge and flexible dark net in front of him in the blink of an eye!

This net is not a physical object, but it contains pure shadow power and the amplification of the sacred relic "Touch of Eternal Night", which has a strong weakening and binding effect on energy attacks.

The stench and toxic fumes of the corrupting heart and poisonous palm collided with the internet, like a mud ox sinking into the sea, quickly decomposed and absorbed by the dark threads.

The fierce corpse fist slammed into the net, but it was as if it had hit layers of rubber, the force was dissipated layer by layer, and it was difficult to move forward!
"What?!" The two elders' expressions changed simultaneously, feeling as if their attacks had sunk into an endless quagmire.

Just as their old strength had waned and new strength had not yet emerged, and their techniques were worn out, the Night Falcon's hands, which had been manipulating the silk threads, suddenly clasped together in the middle!
"receive!"

The web of darkness suddenly tightened!

Like living tentacles, they instantly wrapped around the arms and bodies of the two elders and quickly tightened!
A cold and tough binding force emanated from the silk thread, which also contained the property of corroding spiritual power, making the two elders feel that the flow of spiritual power had become sluggish!

"Not good! Break free quickly!" The gaunt elder was shocked and frantically activated his poison technique to try to corrode the silk threads.

The obese elder roared, his body flashing with a bluish-gray light, attempting to break free with brute force.

But would the Night Falcon give them that chance?

His figure flashed like a ghost, disappearing from his original spot, and the next moment, he appeared beside the gaunt elder who was struggling desperately.

"Shadow Pulse Interception Finger!"

With a single, silent, yet incredibly precise strike, he landed three inches below the gaunt elder's ribs—a crucial point in the circulation of his poisonous energy.

puff!
The gaunt elder trembled violently, spitting out a mouthful of black blood. The poisonous gas surging around him instantly dissipated, his aura weakened, and he was tightly bound by dark threads, unable to move.

Almost simultaneously, Night Falcon seemingly casually stepped back with his left foot, and a shadow on the ground sprang up like a living thing, precisely wrapping around the fat elder's ankle and pulling him sharply!
The obese elder struggled with all his might against the restraints on his upper body, but his lower body was unstable, and he was pulled and staggered.

Without turning its head, the Night Falcon struck out with its palm, its dark spiritual energy condensing into a miniature vortex in its hand.

"Shadow Vortex Palm!"

The vortex imprinted itself on the back of the obese elder, its powerful suction and shock penetrating his body, instantly disrupting the surging corpse energy within him, causing his blood and qi to churn, greatly reducing his defenses. He was then completely bound by the tightening dark threads and collapsed to the ground with a thud.

In the blink of an eye, the two elders of the Bone-Eating Sect, both of whom possessed the strength of a lower-level Earthly Sovereign, had fallen to the ground, bound, and rendered unable to fight!

The whole process was smooth and efficient, taking only two or three breaths!

The disciples of the Bone-Eating Sect, who had originally been ready to watch the spectacle, froze completely with their sinister smiles, their expressions turning into boundless horror.

The members of the Black Nether Elder's faction within the mining area erupted in joyful cheers.

The smugness and disdain on Bone Owl's face had vanished without a trace, replaced by shock and a hint of barely perceptible fear.

The two sides were clearly evenly matched, and our side even had a numerical advantage, but the other side dealt with the two elders too quickly!
That use of shadow power was simply divine!

"You...you dare to touch anyone from my Bone-Eating Sect?!" Bone Owl's voice was somewhat dry as he stared intently at Night Falcon.

Night Falcon slowly turned around, his pure black eyes locking onto Bone Owl, and walked towards him step by step. There was no earth-shattering aura erupting from him, but the sound of his footsteps seemed to strike Bone Owl's heart, carrying a heavy pressure.

"So what if we did move? The Shadow Palace Enforcement Team is incorruptible." He repeated his identity, his tone still calm, but with a touch more icy coldness than before.

"Now, it's your turn. Will you kneel down and submit to the law yourself, or will I do it for you personally?"

Bone Owl watched the Night Falcon approach, then glanced at the two elders who were bound like dumplings and looked weak, and a chill ran from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

He knew he had bitten off more than he could chew! This Night Falcon's strength far exceeded his apparent cultivation level!
But under the watchful eyes of everyone, if he were to kneel down and beg for mercy, how could he ever stand up again?
"You bastard! I'll fight you to the death! Ten Thousand Bones Soul Erosion!" A mad look flashed in Bone Owl's eyes. He bit his tongue hard and spat a mouthful of blood onto the pale bone staff in his hand!
This pale white bone staff is actually a remarkable sacred object!

Immediately afterwards, the skull at the top of the bone staff shone brightly with green light and emitted a shrill shriek. Instantly, countless pale white bone shadows and green, soul-eating ghost fire surged out from the skull, sweeping towards the Night Falcon like a tidal wave!

This is his trump card, a desperate move that combines bone-corroding poison and ghostly secret techniques. Its power is astonishing and enough to severely injure or even endanger a high-ranking Earthly Sovereign!

Faced with this powerful attack, the Night Falcon finally stopped.

He slightly raised his head, his pure black eyes reflecting the countless bone shadows and ghostly flames, his face remaining completely expressionless.

He simply raised his right hand slowly, spread his five fingers, and gently clenched them in response to the whistling attack.

"Darkness...devours."

As his deep voice rang out, the Dark Ancestral Symbol within his body trembled slightly. Then, centered on his palm, a miniature dark vortex, seemingly capable of absorbing all light, suddenly appeared and rapidly expanded!
The vortex slowly rotated, radiating an irresistible devouring power!
The seemingly ferocious bone shadows and soul-eating ghost fires that filled the sky seemed to be drawn by an invisible force the moment they approached the dark vortex, involuntarily changing direction and surging wildly into the vortex!

Like all rivers flowing into the sea, or like moths drawn to a flame!
The vortex accepted everything without exception, devouring all the bone shadows, will-o'-the-wisps, and poisonous gas, and even sound and light seemed to be sucked in!

In the blink of an eye, the terrifying "Ten Thousand Bones Devouring Soul" was completely devoured, leaving only the bone staff in Bone Owl's hand, which had dimmed and even developed fine cracks, and his own stunned, ashen face.

"No...it's impossible..."

Bone Owl muttered in despair, his strongest, desperate attack had been so easily...swallowed up by his opponent?
The Night Falcon lowered its right hand, and the dark vortex disappeared.

He took a step forward and appeared in front of Bone Owl as if by teleportation. Before the other party could react, his palm covered with dark threads had already gently pressed on his vital points.

A pure and domineering dark spiritual power instantly penetrated, sealing his Supreme Sea and severing his meridians.

Bone Owl groaned, his spiritual energy dissipating as he collapsed limply to the ground, his eyes filled with endless fear and despair.

The night falcon didn't even look at him. It turned around and sent a signal to the shadows on the outskirts of the valley.

The law enforcement officers, who had been waiting for a long time, quickly rushed into the valley and swiftly apprehended and sealed the incapacitated Bone Owl and the two elders, along with the trembling disciples of the Bone-Eating Sect. "Take the three main culprits back to the Law Enforcement Hall for strict interrogation. The remaining accomplices will be temporarily detained until their crimes are investigated and dealt with accordingly. Clean up the battlefield, repair the mine's formation, and appease our personnel."

The night falcon gave the order in a calm voice, as if it had just been a trivial matter.

"Yes, Captain!" the law enforcement officers responded in unison, their eyes filled with awe and admiration as they looked at the Night Falcon.

Members of the Black Nether Elder's faction within the mining area poured out, bowing deeply to the Night Falcon, their gratitude overflowing.

Night Falcon nodded slightly, said no more, and transformed into a shadowy figure, leaving the valley first and returning to the Shadow Flying Boat.

Throughout the entire process, he never uttered a single unnecessary word to Bone Owl and the others, demonstrating absolute dominance and highly efficient execution.

The news quickly reached the ears of the Shadow Palace and the Black Nether Elder.

"Captain Night Falcon, single-handedly, captured Bone Owl, the young master of the Bone-Eating Sect under Elder Yin Bone, and two elders within ten moves in the Black Nightmare Mountains mining area, quelling the incident without any losses on our side."

This battle report is concise and powerful, just like the way Night Falcon himself handled this matter.

It not only quelled the conflict quickly, but also intimidated the Yin Bone Elders and other unscrupulous individuals with an almost overwhelming force, greatly enhancing the prestige of the Black Nether Elders and making the name "Night Falcon" even more prominent in the Shadow Palace and in the hearts of the Black Nether Elders.

After this incident, Night Falcon's prestige within the Shadow Palace Enforcement Team reached a new level.

The team members looked at him with awe and even more respect. Those who might have had some complaints about him not being a direct descendant of the clan mostly kept quiet.

Strength is always the most effective language.

Elder Heiming was clearly very satisfied with the result. Soon after, a batch of even purer dark attribute cultivation resources, as well as several ancient jade slips containing rare shadow divine abilities, were quietly sent to the Night Falcon Cave. This was a silent reward and a further allocation of resources.

The Night Falcon did not become complacent because of a single victory; instead, it devoted itself even more humbly to training and mission execution.

He knew that establishing authority once might intimidate people temporarily, but true status required continuous achievements and strength to solidify.

In the following months, he completed several challenging tasks in succession, handling each one cleanly and beautifully.

In one mission, he even led the enforcement team to kill a seriously wounded Supreme Sovereign traitor, and for this achievement, he was promoted to the deputy commander of the enforcement team.

The successful completion of each and every mission not only accumulated a wealth of merit points for Night Falcon, but also allowed his abilities to be fully demonstrated.

Formidable individual combat skills, calm and meticulous planning abilities, extraordinary control over dark forces, and fairness and tact in handling complex matters...

His cultivation level is also steadily improving, making solid progress towards the peak of the lower-level Earthly Sovereign.

As his achievements and reputation grew, Night Falcon's position within the enforcement team became increasingly secure.

The former leader of the enforcement team, a senior member of the direct line, has gradually handed over most of the daily affairs and decision-making power to Night Falcon as he gets older and his ambitions no longer lie in this field.

Although Night Falcon is nominally still the deputy commander, he has in fact been exercising the power of the commander, responsible for the daily operation of the enforcement team, task assignment, personnel assessment, and some external coordination matters, and has become one of the young middle-level backbone members in the Shadow Palace who truly holds real power.

On this day, Night Falcon had just finished processing a batch of backlogged files when suddenly, a special fluctuation came from the restrictions outside the cave, a message from Elder Black Nether's residence.

Night Falcon dismissed the steward, activated the communication talisman, and Elder Black Nether's peaceful yet authoritative voice resounded directly in his mind.

"Night Falcon, come to the Netherworld Palace."

There were no extra words, but Night Falcon could sense that this summons was somewhat different from usual. He dared not delay and set off immediately.

Upon entering the Youxuan Palace once again, Elder Heiming was still sitting cross-legged behind the black jade desk, but he was not alone in the palace.

Seated below were two elderly men of similarly profound bearing and noble attire, clearly of high status. Judging from the patterns on their clothing, they were not core figures of the Black Nether Elders' lineage, but rather elders responsible for clan etiquette or external affairs.

"Disciple Night Falcon greets the elders, and pays respects to both elders." Night Falcon stepped forward and bowed.

Elder Heiming nodded slightly and got straight to the point: "Night Falcon, this is Elder Mo from the Hall of Rites, and this is Elder You from the Hall of Foreign Affairs."

The two elders' gazes fell on the Night Falcon, their expressions scrutinizing and assessing him, clearly indicating that they had heard of him.

Elder Hei Ming continued, "I summoned you here because there is something I need you to know, and I may need your participation in."

Three days later, the Tailing Ancient Clan will send a delegation of young members to our clan for a month-long exchange visit.

The Tai Ling Ancient Clan?!
A thought struck the Night Falcon.

As one of the five ancient clans, the Tai Ling Ancient Clan has a long history and profound heritage. Although it is not as outspoken as the Mo He Ancient Clan, nor as mysterious and profound as the Hei Tian Ancient Clan, its spiritual power cultivation method is unique. The clan's members often possess vast and enduring spiritual power, and their methods are mysterious and profound. Their strength should not be underestimated.

There is both competition and cooperation between the two groups. High-level exchanges are not frequent, but exchanges and learning among the younger generation are an important way to maintain relations, demonstrate strength, and encourage each other.

"As is customary, this exchange will involve several stages, including discussions and sparring." Elder Hei Ming looked at Night Falcon, his tone calm yet profound.

"The younger generation of our clan will need someone to step forward and deal with the situation, demonstrating the style and strength of our clan while also being mindful of etiquette."

You are now considered one of the best among the younger generation in the Shadow Palace, and you also hold the power of law enforcement, acting with composure.

These days, prepare well; there may be a time when you'll be needed.

Night Falcon instantly understood Elder Black Nether's intention.

This is to make him one of the representative figures of the younger generation of the Black Sky Ancient Clan and put him on the front line to confront the prodigies of the Tai Ling Ancient Clan!
This is both recognition and a test, but also an excellent opportunity to make a name for oneself at a higher level and to gain greater prestige and benefits for one's faction!

"Disciple understands! I will do my utmost to live up to the elder's expectations!" Night Falcon replied solemnly, but his mind was already racing with calculations.

With the opening of the Night God Ancient Body drawing ever closer, could this exchange be an opportunity to make a name for oneself?
Elder Hei Ming nodded, exchanged a few more words with the two elders in hushed tones, and then dismissed Night Falcon.

Stepping out of the Netherworld Palace, Night Falcon gazed at the dark purple sky, a sharp glint flashing in its pure black eyes… (End of Chapter)
