Summoning the Gods: Start by creating the Eternal Night.

Outside the gates of the Nine Nether Demon Sect, five figures arrived together.

It was the Blood Demon Ancestor, Bloodless Heaven, Demon Heavenly Hatred, Leng Ming, and You Ming who had returned from their retreat.

The Blood Demon Ancestor's gaze swept over the four people, and seeing that they were all injured, he frowned slightly: "Are you all alright?"

Mo Tianchou cupped his hands and said, "Master, rest assured, we are unharmed."

"But... Luo Mie, Ming He, Chi Yuan, and the other elders and disciples of the sect were unable to return."

A hint of regret flashed in the Blood Demon Ancestor's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by ruthlessness:

"We'll settle this score with the Demon-Slaying Alliance sooner or later!"

"Right now, the shackles of Heaven's Dao have not been broken, so our strength is limited, and we will not gain anything by fighting head-on."

"Our most urgent task is to temporarily leave the Eastern Region."

"Leave the Eastern Regions?"

Mo Tianchou was taken aback, and a troubled look appeared on his face.

"But Master, how do we leave? The entire continent is under lockdown, and there's no way to communicate between the different domains!"

The Blood Demon Ancestor said in a deep voice, "I told you before, do you still remember the array platform in the forbidden area of ​​the back mountain?"

"That's an ancient teleportation array that connects to the Central Region, enough to allow us to escape."

Mo Tianchou, Youming, and Lengming all looked puzzled, clearly unaware of the situation.

Xue Wutian seemed to remember something and then asked, "Brother, is this what that person meant?"

"good."

Blood Demon Ancestor nodded.

"Further words are useless. Let's retrieve the resources from the treasure vault and hurry to the forbidden area in the back mountain!"

The five turned and rushed towards the treasure vault, but when the hall doors opened and they saw the empty hall,

Mo Tianchou roared angrily:

"Who the hell did this?! My Nine Nether Demon Sect's millennia-long accumulation is gone just like that?!"

The broken jade boxes scattered on the ground and the grooves in the stone wall silently tell the story of the richness this place once possessed.

The Blood Demon Ancestor's face was ashen. He scanned his surroundings with his divine sense and said in a deep voice:

"Someone must have sneaked in during our big battle and stolen the stuff."

The other four looked at each other, completely bewildered.

The loss of all the resources of the Nine Nether Demon Sect is undoubtedly adding insult to injury.

Just then, the Blood Demon Ancestor's expression changed slightly: "Qian Long and the others are here! Let's go to the back mountain!"

Without daring to delay, the five figures transformed into streaks of light and sped toward the forbidden area behind the mountain.

Almost at the same time they left,

Qianlong, Qianxuan, Qiantian, Yan Guiren, Xingxuanfeng, Leng Wuyai, Da Gongfeng, Beimingcheng

The others also surged into the Nine Nether Demon Sect, following the aura as they pursued it. ...

Outside a hidden stone cave in the forbidden area behind the Nine Nether Demon Sect.

Black King was scratching at the protective barrier outside the cave with his claws, cursing under his breath:

"This broken barrier is pretty tough; my claws are almost worn down..."

Li Xunhuan suddenly raised an eyebrow and said in a deep voice, "There are more than a dozen powerful auras heading this way."

Yan Shisan gripped his longsword tightly, his divine sense spreading out, and then he nodded:

"It must be the people from the Nine Nether Demon Sect who retreated."

He looked at the Black Emperor, "How much longer will it take to break the seal?"

The Black Emperor paused, then looked up into the distance.

"It's too late! This restriction is formed from an ancient formation; it's not easy to break. They've already arrived!"

No sooner had the words been spoken than five figures landed in front of the stone cave; it was none other than the Blood Demon Ancestor and his group.

"How dare you! Who would dare trespass into the forbidden area of ​​my Nine Nether Demon Sect?!"

When the Blood Demon Ancestor saw Li Xunhuan and his companion, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes.

When they saw the Black Emperor beneath Li Xunhuan and the other two, their expressions were filled with astonishment!

"It's you, you black dog! What are you doing here?"

Xue Wutian also recognized Yan Shisan, and killing intent surged in his eyes:

"Are you the Celestial Being who used the sword in Tianfeng City before? What are you doing here?"

Black Emperor shook his head, a look of disdain on his face:

"Hmph, what business is it of yours where I am?"

"What, you weren't scared off by my slap before, now you want to try again?"

"court death!"

The Blood Demon Ancestor roared, his blood energy surging.

"I had only just recovered, and my strength hadn't fully returned!"

"I advise you to leave now, or don't blame me for being impolite!"

Mo Tianchou suddenly remembered something and stared intently at Li Xunhuan and the other two:

"Have you taken the resources from our sect's treasury?!"

Black Emperor stiffened his neck and looked at Blood Demon Ancestor:

"If you tell us to leave and we just leave, how could I possibly lose face?"

"And what treasure trove of resources? Do you have any evidence? You're just spouting nonsense!"

The Blood Demon Ancestor sensed that the auras of Qianlong and the others behind him were getting closer and closer.

A hint of impatience flashed in his eyes; he was too lazy to waste any more words.

"You've taken the resources from the vault, so leave now, and I can pretend nothing happened. Otherwise..."

"Otherwise what?"

Li Xunhuan toyed with the throwing knife, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

"Unless you tell us what's hidden in this cave, you won't be leaving today."

"Fine, fine, you won't listen to reason, so you'll have to suffer the consequences!"

Blood Demon Ancestor's eyes revealed a murderous intent.

"Second brother, come with me and take down this black dog!"

"Tianchou, Youming, Lengming, you deal with those two. Finish them off quickly!"

"yes!"

Mo Tianchou struck first, his figure blurring as his demonic sword, glowing with crimson light, pierced straight for Li Xunhuan's heart.

"You, a mere late-stage Celestial Being, dare to boast! You're courting death!"

"Good timing."

Instead of retreating, Li Xunhuan advanced, his figure weaving through the sword shadows like a ghost, a cold glint suddenly flashing from his fingertips.

"Little Li's Flying Dagger, First Move—Leave No Trace!"

The throwing knife sliced ​​through the air silently, yet with perfect accuracy, aiming for Mo Tianchou's wrist as he held the sword.

Mo Tianchou felt a chill on his wrist and hurriedly parried with his sword.

With a clang, the throwing knife was deflected, and the attack was momentarily halted.

"That's interesting."

Li Xunhuan chuckled, and another throwing knife materialized at his fingertips.

"Second move - Shadow Chaser!"

The three throwing knives, like three streaks of light, sliced ​​through the air with sharp whistling sounds, heading towards Mo Tianchou's wrist, throat, and heart.

The throwing knife was incredibly fast, with a tricky trajectory, and it actually struck first despite being thrown later, forcing Mo Tianchou to parry with his sword.

"Clang clang clang!"

With three sharp sounds, the demonic sword was forced back by the flying knives, and Mo Tianchou felt his arm go numb, his heart filled with great alarm:

"Such a fast and precise knife strike!"

Li Xunhuan gave him no chance to breathe, his figure closing in like a ghost, and flicking out two more throwing knives from his fingertips, at even more tricky angles.

"Little Li's flying dagger never misses its mark."

A cold voice rang out, and the flying knife was already in front of Mo Tianchou, aimed straight for his heart.

This forced Mo Tianchou to retreat repeatedly, and he no longer dared to underestimate Li Xunhuan, who was at the late stage of the Celestial Realm!

……

On the other side, Youming and Lengming had joined forces to pounce on Yan Shisan.

"Shadow Slayer!"

The Netherworld transformed into a wisp of black smoke, its sharp claws, imbued with deathly aura, reaching for Yan Shisan's back.

"Corpse Fiend Palm!"

Leng Ming then struck out with his palm, and the gray-black corpse energy condensed into a palm print, blocking the way ahead.

Yan Shisan's eyes sharpened, and he drew his longsword, its clear, resonant sound echoing through the valley.

"The Thirteen Deadly Swords - Breaking Illusion!"

The sword light slashed horizontally like a bolt of lightning, simultaneously forcing back the black smoke and the corpse palm.

Before the two could attack again, Yan Shisan's sword technique suddenly changed, and the sword light surged like a waterfall:

"Second sword strike, startling glimpse!"

The sword light almost solidified into a straight line, grazing past the black smoke of the Netherworld, forcing him to stagger backward.

At the same time, the residual force swept towards Leng Ming, forcing him to retaliate and defend himself.

"The third sword strike, Soul Lock!"

The swordplay changed again, and countless tiny sword shadows spread out like a spider web, trapping the two of them firmly within it, leaving them in a dilemma.

……

On the other side, Blood Demon Ancestor and Bloodless Heaven had already launched a fierce attack on Black Emperor.

"Blood Demon Sky-Tearing Claw!"

"Blood Fiend Slash!"

Two crimson attacks, one from the left and one from the right, carrying an aura of destruction, reached out to Black Emperor.

"roar…"

The Black Emperor let out a low roar, and its body swelled dramatically.

In an instant, it transformed into a colossal beast three zhang tall, its black fur bristling and standing up like steel needles.

"Hmph, do you really think I'm easy to bully? Taste my 'Heaven-Devouring Earth-Eating Technique'!"

It opened its massive mouth, and a terrifying suction force erupted.

He forcefully sucked the two bloody attacks to his mouth, crunched them in a few bites, and swallowed them.

"What?!"

Both Blood Demon Ancestor and Bloodless Heaven were shocked, never expecting that the Black Emperor could devour their attacks.

"Hmph, I'll show you what I, the Emperor, can do!"

"Black Emperor's Wrath!"

It slammed its giant claws into the ground, and countless black stone spikes burst forth from the earth.

At the same time, it opened its mouth and spewed out a torrent of pitch-black energy.

Wherever the torrent passed, the air was corroded, and it collided violently with the blood claws and the fiendish fists.

"Boom!"

A surge of air caused the three of them to retreat several steps.

The Blood Demon Ancestor was shocked; this black dog was several times stronger than when they last met.

"Second brother, this is serious!"

The Blood Demon Ancestor let out a low roar, and his blood energy burned wildly.

"The Blood Demon's True Form!"

His body swelled up, transforming into a ten-zhang-tall blood demon, his eyes burning with crimson flames.

Xue Wutian was not to be outdone, his body a mixture of malevolent energy and blood energy:

"Blood Shadow Devours the Heavens!"

Countless blood-red shadows flew out from his body, pouncing on the Black Emperor like hungry wolves.

Upon seeing this, the Black King raised its head and let out a deafening roar.

Black armor materialized around his body, and two dark orbs of light condensed on his giant claws.

"Black Emperor Battle Body! Annihilation Claw!"

One man, two demons, and a dog instantly engaged in battle, their blood energy, malevolent aura, and black light clashing and churning the forbidden area, causing it to shake violently.

At that moment, at the entrance to the forbidden area, Qianlong, Qiantian, and a group of other experts arrived, and were all dumbfounded by the chaotic battle in front of them!

When did these two people and the dog appear?

……

The upcoming storyline will feature the Central Region. How about establishing a new power there? For example, the Underworld, composed entirely of villains!
