Summoning the Gods: Start by creating the Eternal Night.

at the same time.

Xuanming Sect.

In the dimly lit hall, the Xuanming Sect Master listened to his subordinate's report and let out a low laugh:

"Heh... the Qingyun Sect's lackey is dead? Good! Excellent!"

"Master! This Drizzle Pavilion is completely unheard of. Could it be a reclusive ancient power? Otherwise, why wouldn't it fear the Azure Cloud Sect?"

A gray-robed man standing nearby asked in confusion.

The Xuanming Sect Leader stood up, the hem of his black robe brushing the ground, stirring up a gust of cold wind:

"Regardless of what kind of power Xiyu Tower is, it is somewhat beyond my expectations that they have such courage and strength."

"The Qingyun Sect will definitely send experts to take action against the Xiyu Tower."

Then, he looked at the gray-robed man and spoke.

"Pass on my orders to closely monitor the Qingyun Sect, and then spread the news that Mo Chen is a lackey of the Qingyun Sect."

"Furthermore, I have been instructed to teach my disciples in Qingzhou to secretly assist Xiyu Tower if the opportunity arises."

"Although we do not know its true strength, as long as it can make the Qingyun Sect wary, our Xuanming Sect will be satisfied."

"Yes, Master. I will order my disciples in Qingzhou to keep a close eye on the movements of the Qingyun Sect."

"If anything happens, immediately inform Xiyu Tower and seize the opportunity to take action against the Qingyun Sect members who have come down the mountain."

After speaking, the gray-robed man disappeared from the main hall.

Qingzhou City. Black Market.

The cultivators were all discussing the news of the murder of the city lord of Luoxia City.

Upon receiving news of the destruction of the City Lord's Mansion in Luoxia City, many people expressed doubts about the accuracy of the information.

However, after being confirmed by one person after another, it turned out to be true! Everyone had no choice but to believe it.

"Wow, this Drizzle Pavilion is terrifying! I heard the news that Drizzle Pavilion had Langya Pavilion spread..."

"When they said 'even those above the Void Realm can be killed,' I thought it was just some arrogant little force trying to make a scene."

"Unexpectedly, in less than three days, the city lord's mansion of Luoxia City has been destroyed," a burly man said in a deep voice.

"Although the Drizzle Pavilion can kill cultivators at the Void Realm, it's not particularly powerful."

"However, Mo Chen, the city lord of Luoxia City, is by no means an ordinary Void Realm cultivator."

"There have long been rumors that it has powerful backing."

The monks beside him echoed his sentiments.

"Does anyone know which force this is?"

"I know that I overheard someone on the black market saying that Mo Chen is a member of the Qingyun Sect."

"Hiss! Is that really the case? If so, that would be terrible."

"The Fine Rain Pavilion doesn't take the Azure Cloud Sect behind Mo Chen seriously; they must have some backing."

"I told you! These lackeys of the Qingyun Sect will suffer sooner or later!"

"That old lord of Luoxia City, how could he have foreseen this day when he was plundering the people's wealth?"

"Keep your voice down! The Qingyun Sect has spies all over Qingzhou."

"Can you guess who the Rain Pavilion, who made the move, really is?"

"To dare kill a city lord supported by the Qingyun Sect is tantamount to stirring up a hornet's nest!"

"Who cares about their background! Anyone who can punish the Qingyun Sect is a hero!"

"I'm even thinking of going to try my luck with the Fine Rain Pavilion! Those disciples from the major sects have been arrogant and domineering for too long, it's the perfect opportunity for the Fine Rain Pavilion to take action."

"Don't be impulsive! Do you know where the Fine Rain Pavilion is?"

"Moreover, the Qingyun Sect will certainly not let this go. They might send troops to massacre Qingzhou City one day. It's best for us minor cultivators to stay out of it."

"participate?"

"Have you forgotten who stole your cultivation resources last month?"

Have you forgotten who killed your sworn brothers? They were all disciples of the Qingyun Sect!

"If this Drizzle Pavilion can defeat the Azure Cloud Sect, I'd be willing to empty my entire fortune to support them!"

"Hmph! It's still uncertain whether the Drizzle Pavilion can withstand the retaliation from the Azure Cloud Sect behind City Lord Mo!"

"Even if the Drizzle Pavilion can survive this calamity caused by the forces behind Lord Mo."

"And there are also the two major assassin organizations in the Eastern Region, 'Mo Yuan' and 'Blood Slaughter Pavilion'."

The cultivators were discussing it animatedly.

.....

The Qingyun Sect, like a dazzling pearl, is embedded in the Tianyuan Continent and is a leader among the top forces.

It was founded after the war between gods and demons and has been passed down for thousands of years. Its power is astonishing.

Rumor has it that a terrestrial immortal is slumbering within the sect, like a dormant dragon, ready to soar into the sky at any moment.

The Qingyun Sect is located at the border of Qingzhou and Xuanzhou in the Eastern Region.

In recent years, due to the decline of the Great Qian Dynasty, the Qingyun Sect has privately occupied the border area between the two states.

The Great Qian Dynasty initially tried its best to stop this behavior, and even sent experts to the Qingyun Sect to negotiate.

A fierce battle even broke out, with neither side able to gain the upper hand.

However, as the dynasty gradually declined, other sects and forces began to stir.

As the saying goes, even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake, and over time, the imperial court could only helplessly choose to turn a blind eye.

Within the Qingyun Sect, the publicly acknowledged combat strength includes:

Sect Master Xuanxiaozi is in the late stage of the Celestial Realm, and Deputy Sect Master Cangwuzi is in the middle stage of the Celestial Realm.

The Grand Elder, Zhuge Xiu, was at the early stage of the Celestial Realm, while the other nine elders were all at the Nirvana Realm.

At this moment, in the sect's council hall

The sect's ten elders and sect leader were gathered together, staring intently at the intelligence report in their hands.

After Xuanxiaozi finished reading, the teacup in his hand shattered with a "bang," and he didn't even notice the scalding tea splashing onto his robes.

He slammed his fist on the table, veins bulging on his face, and roared:

"That idiot Mo Chen, knowing that someone wanted to assassinate him, still dared to be careless and not report to the sect."

"This is utterly disgraceful to my Qingyun Sect!"

"Sect Master, that's true! But the Drizzle Pavilion is far too arrogant and domineering."

"They dared to kill Mo Chen, the son of the deceased Supreme Elder, and even wiped out the City Lord's Mansion of Luoxia City in one fell swoop."

"This is a slap in the face to our Qingyun Sect!"

"Yes! Sect Master,"

"If we don't severely punish Xiyu Tower, people will think that my Qingyun Sect is a pushover that can be bullied at will."

"How will we be able to establish ourselves in the Eastern Region in the future?"

"We'll go down the mountain now, find them, and wipe them all out!"

The elders echoed in agreement.

Xuanxiaozi, sitting in the main seat, frowned slightly, seemingly lost in thought. After a moment...

"As the son of the sect's deceased Supreme Elder, Mo Chen was originally sent to Luoxia City by us, so the sect will definitely have to take action in this matter."

"Otherwise, people will think that our Qingyun Sect has fallen on hard times, and that some unknown small force dares to provoke us."

"But we also need to find out whether it's an enemy force of our sect, or Mo Chen's enemy, hired by Xiyulou."

"After the sudden appearance of the phantom of gods and demons in the sky last time, various forces are now slowly emerging."

"It's possible that other forces were behind this, with the aim of weakening our sect."

"Think about what forces could be plotting against our Qingyun Sect from behind."

Without even thinking, the Second Elder spoke directly:

"Sect Master, I suspect it was the imperial court that intervened. They fought a major battle with us because we occupied this area where Qingzhou and Xuanzhou meet."

"Later, because we sent Mo Chen to secretly control Luoxia City, we also secretly sent people to kill many people sent by the imperial court to Luoxia City."

"Although they have no evidence, as long as they're not stupid, they should be able to find out it was us, so they're using the same methods to disgust us."

The other elders nodded in agreement: "Yes! It must have been the imperial court's doing."

"Gentlemen! This matter could also be related to Mo Chen's personal enemies."

"After all, Mo Chen has been arrogant and domineering in recent years, offending many people."

After some thought, Elder Zhuge Xiu, who had been keeping his eyes closed, opened them and addressed the crowd.

Xuanxiaozi narrowed his eyes and then said in a deep voice.

"The Grand Elder's words make sense!"

"But if Xiyulou dares to kill our people, no matter which force is supporting them, they must pay the price."

"Let the Third Elder and Fourth Elder handle this matter; your strength is at the Nirvana Realm."

"Your mission is to descend the mountain to find members of the Drizzle Pavilion, and then eliminate them to establish your authority."

"I imagine that ordinary Nirvana Realm experts are no match for the two of you. Even if you are outmatched, you can still escape, unless you encounter a Celestial Realm expert."

"Just in case there are experts at the Celestial Realm in the Drizzle Pavilion, take this teleportation talisman with you."

"If someone at the Celestial Realm really makes a move, just activate this talisman, and the Grand Elder will immediately come to your aid."

"Yes, Sect Master, I will complete the mission."

The Third Elder and the Fourth Elder stepped forward, took the teleportation talisman, and responded.

"Sect Master, now that Mo Chen is dead, what should be done with Luo Xia City? Should we send someone there?"

"Elder Zhuge Xiuyan said."

"Luoxia City is of great significance to us, as it can not only help our sect collect a large amount of resources."

"Furthermore, its geographical location is close to the sect and can also check the imperial court. It must be kept in our hands and must not be allowed to be taken back by other forces or the imperial court."

Xuanxiaozi said with a solemn expression.

"I remember that Mo Chen's son, Mo Xiao, is still in my sect."

"Tenth Elder, go and take him as your disciple, and let him return to Luoxia City to inherit the position of City Lord."

"With this legitimate reason, Luoxia City will surely come under our control."

"Then you will go with Mo Xiao and temporarily guard Luoxia City."

It must be said that as the head of a sect, he is indeed very thorough in his consideration of issues. Those who can occupy this position must be both intelligent and capable.

"Yes, Sect Master."

The ten elders responded.

"Alright, that concludes today's meeting. We will discuss other matters upon your return."

After speaking, Xuanxiaozi got up and left.

The elders of the Qingyun Sect also dispersed.
