Summoning the Gods: Start by creating the Eternal Night.

At that very moment, in the clouds above the City Lord's Mansion,

Two figures stood silently; they were the elder sister and the surrendered minister.

The elder sister looked down at the Celestial Realm battlefield.

Qin Lie, the city's commander, is already covered in wounds and will eventually be defeated by Gui San.

The fourth retainer, Mo Cang, was on the verge of death and could die at any moment. He hurriedly said to the surrendered officials beside him:

"They can't hold on much longer, my lord, you must go and help them!"

The surrendered official glanced at her sideways, a faint smile playing on his lips:

"You sure know how to make arrangements. You just sent out Little Black and Little White, and now it's my turn?"

The older sister chuckled and scratched her head:

"Hehehe, well, it's not that I'm good at fighting..."

"If you can't do it, then let Ying Gou come out."

The surrendered official raised an eyebrow, pressed his hand against her head, and deliberately teased her.

"Do you want me to wake her up for you?"

The elder sister immediately recalled the scene of the surrendered official throwing her out last time, dodged the official aside, and quickly waved her hand:

"No, no, no, I don't want to!"

The surrendered official chuckled lightly:

"Pfft! Alright, I'll go deal with those two Celestial Realm cultivators from the Ghost King Sect."

"I really don't know what else you can do besides eat; you're nothing!"

Having said that, she moved with the speed of a ghost, appearing on the battlefield of the Celestial Realm.

It appeared directly behind the Third Elder of the Ghost King Sect, its five fingers forming a claw, enveloped in dense black energy.

He unleashed the "Mysterious Yin Ghost Claw," viciously grabbing at Ghost Three's back.

"Pfft!"

Gui San was focused on suppressing Qin Lie and was completely unaware of the murderous intent lurking behind him.

"ah--!"

The claw struck him squarely, and he screamed in agony.

His body flew forward like a kite with a broken string.

"Boom!"

It crashed to the ground, creating a large crater.

"Cough cough cough..."

He struggled to get up, his body covered in blood, his breath weak, and he looked at the surrendered minister in disbelief:

"Who are you? Why...?"

Before he could finish speaking, the surrendered minister had already closed in, thrusting out both palms, and a surge of immense Yin Fire erupted instantly:

"A complete collapse!"

A ring of eerie blue flames spread out from the surrendered minister.

Wherever it passed, the air seemed to be scorched.

Gui San was instantly engulfed in flames, feeling his spiritual energy stagnate and his defenses weaken instantly.

"Ouch—it hurts...it hurts so much..."

He was as if he had been thrown into a furnace, letting out a piercing scream, and after a moment he was on the verge of death.

Upon seeing this, Qin Lie, the commander of the city's defenses, was greatly encouraged.

He recognized the surrendered woman as the one who had clashed with Yi Shangqi in Sin City earlier, and quickly cupped his hands in greeting:

"Thank you for your help, fellow Daoist!"

The surrendered official waved his hand, looked up at the Fourth Elder of the Ghost King Sect, and gestured to the city's commander:

"You're on your own now!"

"Alright, alright, then he won't trouble you any further, fellow Daoist."

After saying that, Qin Lie excitedly picked up his long sword, turned around, and charged towards Gui Si.

"Hahaha, Fourth Elder of the Ghost King Sect, prepare to die!"

The blade was sharp and swift, slashing out with a whooshing sound.

"clang!"

Gui Si was preparing to eliminate the four retainers, Mo Cang, in one move.

Hearing Qin Lie's voice, he was about to turn around when he was suddenly struck by the long sword.

"puff--"

He was immediately thrown backward by the shock, spitting out blood.

Mo Cang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Qin Lie arrive to help.

"Commander Qin, if you hadn't come soon, I might never be able to drink with you again!"

"Hahaha, Old Mo, here I am! Don't worry, I won't let you die!"

"You heal your wounds first, I'll go deal with him."

Qin Lie turned to Mo Cang and teased him, then drew his sword again and rushed toward Gui Si.

Upon seeing this, Mo Cang quickly sat down cross-legged and circulated his spiritual energy to recover from his injuries.

The remaining cultivators of the city lord's mansion saw reinforcements arrive, and the situation reversed.

"kill---!"

Their fighting spirit was rekindled, and they roared as they charged toward the Ghost King Sect cultivators, their battle cries deafening.

The fighting in the courtyard intensified once again.

This time, however, the scales of victory have quietly tipped in favor of the city lord's mansion.

The older sister watched with great interest from mid-air, clapping her hands:

"Well done! Defeat all these bad guys!"

"Sister, I'm still looking forward to going back to that villa for another barbecue."

The surrendered official dealt with the three elders, then his gaze swept across the battlefield.

Seeing that Black and White Impermanence had suppressed all the Nirvana Realm elders of the Ghost King Sect.

Qin Lie, the city's commander, has already killed the four elders of the Ghost King Sect.

They began to organize manpower to eliminate other Ghost King Sect cultivators.

He then stopped making a move and quietly stood aside to observe.

Before long, most of the Ghost King Sect cultivators were killed or wounded, and the rest, seeing the situation was not good, tried to escape.

"Hmph! Trying to run away?"

Hei Wuchang Chang Haoling snorted coldly.

"Soul-Snatching Lock"

The Soul-Hooking Chains flew out, entangling the fleeing cultivators one by one.

"The Claws of the Underworld"

With another roar, Black Impermanence twisted his wrist, and the black energy exploded outwards.

It transformed into a hideous ghost claw phantom several meters in size, grabbing at the Ghost King Sect cultivators who were entangled!

"boom!"

After a deafening explosion, no one survived!

On the other side

Bai Wuchang's mourning staff fell.

"Hehehe, take this from your sister!"

He smashed the brains of the last Nirvana Realm elder who resisted.

The fighting within the city lord's mansion gradually subsided.

The city's commander stepped forward and bowed to the surrendered officials and the Black and White Impermanence:

"Many thanks to all fellow cultivators for their timely rescue; otherwise, my City of Sin would have been saved!"

The surrendered official nodded expressionlessly.

"We have come on the orders of the Ghost Emperor, there is no need for formalities."

Just then, the space above the City Lord's Mansion cracked open, and two streams of light streaked out from the crack, landing in the air above the City Lord's Mansion courtyard.

It was Di Shitian and Li Wujiu who rushed back.

Li Wujiu looked at the mess and corpses in the mansion, his expression grave.

He then bowed deeply to Indra and the surrendered officials:

"Thank you all for your help; otherwise, Sin City would be in grave danger today!"

Indra waved his hand:

"Now that Sin City is also part of my Underworld territory, it's just my duty."

"Alright, let's clean up the battlefield, calm people down, and restore order to Sin City as soon as possible."

"Yes!" Li Wujiu responded and immediately began arranging the follow-up matters.

……

Eastern Regions, Qingzhou

Eternal Night Space, Monarch's Palace.

Ye Junlin sat cross-legged on the Xuanyu Throne, his spiritual energy flowing around him.

He is currently immersed in deep cultivation, attempting to reach a higher realm.

Suddenly, a cold, mechanical female voice rang in his mind, breaking the silence of the space:

[Ding, System mission: Head to the Central Region and formally establish the Underworld.]

Furthermore, they successfully subdued or killed at least one cultivator above the Celestial Realm, exceeding their target!

Ye Junlin suddenly opened his eyes, a hint of surprise flashing across them, which was then replaced by overwhelming joy.

He stopped cultivating and muttered to himself:

"Indra and his group have only been gone for less than a week, and they've already completed their mission so quickly?"

"And they even exceeded the target?"

"That's impressive efficiency!"

[Task Reward: One Underworld Palace, already sent to your system space]

[Because the host exceeded the task requirements, a random summoning card is hereby awarded.]

"Hmm? I also got an extra random summon card as a reward?"

Ye Junlin's lips unconsciously curled up into a smile.

"Chief, we need to offer more of these kinds of missions and rewards from now on!"

[Host, system tasks are assigned randomly.]

The voice in my mind remained calm, yet carried a subtle, almost imperceptible, "human" quality.

However, if the host is willing to take on more tasks, the system will increase the task frequency accordingly.

After all, the core of this system is to assist the host in becoming supreme.

Ye Junlin laughed heartily, in a great mood:

"Hahaha, not bad, not bad, Tongzi, I love you!"

【system:……】

After a brief interaction, Ye Junlin calmed his mind and sank his consciousness into the system space.

A magnificent, miniature palace floated in the air.

As if the system understood his thoughts, the notification sounded in his mind again.

The text details the palace's structure and power.

The Palace of the Underworld: modeled after the underworld in mythology.

Inside are ten Yama King Palaces and five Ghost Emperor Palaces, each in charge of a region of the underworld;

It also features the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Hall, the Meng Po Hall, the eighteen levels of hell, and the Naihe Bridge, all complete.

There is also a separate residence for the Underworld Emperor, magnificent and imposing, towering above all other palaces.

This palace contains the power of the laws of heaven and earth; wherever it appears, evil spirits flee in terror, and all things are impervious to its presence.

It can easily withstand the full-force attack of a terrestrial immortal.

(The defense increases as the cultivation levels of the Underworld's inhabitants increase.)

"Ten Yama Palaces, five Ghost Emperor Palaces..."

Ye Junlin repeated in a low voice, his eyes gleaming.

"They even have the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Hall and the Meng Po Hall. They're trying to bring the mythical underworld to this world in its entirety."

He held the miniature palace in his palm; though small, the palace seemed to exist in its own world.

The shadows could be faintly seen shifting between the palaces, and the murmuring of water could be heard from beneath the Bridge of Helplessness.

You can even feel the chilling aura emanating from the eighteenth level of hell.

"So this is the palace of the underworld...?"

A hint of amazement flashed in Ye Junlin's eyes.

"Truly impressive! Even in its miniature form, it exudes such grandeur; when it is fully realized, it will surely be even more awe-inspiring."

"It seems that Indra and the others have already found a place to stay in the Underworld."

We need to find an opportunity to send this palace to them.
