Summoning the Gods: Start by creating the Eternal Night.

Ye Junlin raised his hand and pressed down, and the hall instantly fell silent.

His gaze swept over the crowd, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes:

"Your fighting spirit is commendable. This battle is indeed a crucial one for the Misty Rain Pavilion under my Eternal Night Heaven to make a name for itself in Qingzhou!"

"Di Yun, Linghu Chong!" Ye Junlin suddenly said in a deep voice.

"Your subordinates are here!" the two replied in unison, their voices echoing across the surrounding area.

"I, Yongyetian, have no plans to appear in the world yet, as we are currently short-handed. For now, I will appear as a retainer of Xiyulou, a subordinate force of Yongyetian."

"I order you two to lead Nie Zheng, Yao Li, and Yu Rang to Qingzhou to meet with Jing Ke and Zhuan Chu, and then go and meet the people from the Qingyun Sect." Ye Junlin's voice was firm and resolute.

"Remember, there are two objectives for this trip."

First, by beheading Li Yaochao, he shattered the reputation of the Qingyun Sect.

Secondly, it will lure out the Third and Fourth Elders who are secretly overseeing the operation, allowing us to turn the tables and catch them off guard!

"Your subordinates obey!" Di Yun and Linghu Chong clasped their fists in acceptance, their eyes gleaming.

Then, Ye Junlin turned his gaze to Yuan Tiangang, who was standing in front of the crowd. His tone softened slightly, but it still carried an undeniable authority: "Yuan Tiangang."

"Your subordinate is here." Yuan Tiangang stepped out slowly, a faint smile seemingly visible on his face behind the bronze mask.

"You will accompany them to Qingzhou City and secretly oversee the situation," Ye Junlin said slowly.

"The Qingyun Sect has a deep foundation, and there may be a Celestial Realm expert lying in wait."

"Remember, as long as the opponent at the Celestial Realm doesn't make a move, you don't need to expose yourself;"

[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name 12199.99]

"Once the opponent reveals themselves at the Celestial Realm level, you must strike and kill them. We must not allow even the slightest harm to any of our Eternal Night Heaven's people!"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Tiangang's eyes flashed with a sharp light. He bowed and smiled, "Your subordinate understands. I will certainly not fail in the trust placed in me by the sovereign and will protect everyone's safety."

"And by the way, let the Qingyun Sect see that my Eternal Night Heaven is not a pushover!"

Ye Junlin nodded slightly and waved his hand, saying, "Let's not delay, let's set off immediately!"

"Remember, act quickly and decisively; don't get yourself into a predicament!"

"Yes, sir!"

The crowd responded in unison, their shouts reaching the heavens.

Di Yun and Linghu Chong exchanged a glance, then turned around and led Nie Zheng, Yao Li, and Yu Rang, transforming into five streams of light that rushed straight out of the Eternal Night Space.

Yuan Tiangang's figure also transformed into a phantom, silently following after them and disappearing into the horizon.

Ye Junlin stood with his hands behind his back, gazing in the direction the crowd had left, a cold smile playing on his lips:

"Qingyun Sect... Third Elder, Fourth Elder? This show has only just begun!"

On the other side

Inside Langya Pavilion.

Upon hearing Su Mei's report, Pavilion Master Shangguan Hong couldn't help but sigh:

"Xiyulou is truly remarkable. They dared to accept the mission even knowing it was a trap. Their courage is truly admirable."

"Judging from their actions, their strength is probably no less than that of the Qingyun Sect."

"If Xiyu Tower emerges victorious after this great battle, I might try to make contact with them and see if I can win them over to help me ascend to the position of family head."

Meanwhile, in the Wenxian Pavilion in the northern part of Qingzhou City, a mysterious man was gazing at the information before him, and said thoughtfully:

"It seems that Xiyu Tower is trying to use the name of Qingyun Sect to show off its power. In that case, our Xingchen Pavilion also needs to find an opportunity to show itself."

The Star Pavilion is a mysterious and powerful force that existed even before the Great War of Gods and Demons. Its core mission is the research of stellar power.

They believed that the movement of the stars contained endless power and secrets, and that the masters in the pavilion could use the power of the stars to cast powerful spells.

Meanwhile, inside the Xuanming Sect stronghold in Qingzhou, the Sixth Elder lightly tapped the table with his fingertips, a cold glint in his eyes:

"The black market in Qingzhou City has issued a mission to assassinate the manager of the Qingyun Sect. It must be the work of the Qingyun Sect, and their purpose is clearly aimed at Xiyu Tower."

He paused, then glanced at the crowd below.

"Can you find out which elder from the Qingyun Sect went to Qingzhou City this time?"

"Reporting to the Fifth Elder, our scouts have sent word that the Qingyun Sect has dispatched three elders this time, splitting into two groups."

"Ten elders appeared in Luoxia City to support Mo Xiao, the surviving son of the Luoxia City Lord, in taking control of the city."

"As for the other two Qingyun Sect elders, they are the third and fourth elders."

"Furthermore, we had already spread this news in advance," the scout reported respectfully.

The sixth elder of the Xuanming Sect looked at the spy before him with satisfaction, and then said to the spy:

"You did the right thing. There aren't many opportunities to cause trouble for the Qingyun Sect."

"Heh heh, I hope the Drizzle Pavilion can really teach those guys from the Azure Cloud Sect a lesson."

The Qingyun Sect and the Xuanming Sect have always been at odds, and neither side will let go of any opportunity to deal with the other.

"Let's go to Qingzhou City. If Xiyu Tower and Qingyun Sect really start fighting, we can pick up some of the survivors and also find out what Xiyu Tower is all about."

As the Sixth Elder spoke, he led the Xuanming Sect members toward the Qingyun Sect's Qingzhou headquarters.

at the same time

Seeing that Xiyulou had accepted the mission, many people who understood the reason began to appear near the Qingyun Sect's Qingzhou City headquarters, ready to watch the show.

After all, this is a battle at the Nirvana Realm level, something that hasn't happened in decades. There's also the possibility of a battle at the Celestial Realm level.

In an instant, Qingzhou City became the most bustling place, with forces from other states rushing towards it.

Meanwhile, deep within the Qingyun Sect's territory, inside a secret chamber.

The Third Elder, Zhang Tao, slammed his hand on the table, a smug glint in his eyes:

"Good! Well done, Xiyulou! They really don't know what's good for them, actually accepting the mission!"

The Fourth Elder, Wang Yuan, also clapped his hands and laughed, his tone full of disdain:

"A bunch of arrogant bastards, do they really think they can mess with my Qingyun Sect just because they have a few Void Realm cultivators?"

"Pass on my orders!"

Zhang Tao suddenly raised his voice, and the powerful spiritual energy vibrated so loudly that the doors and windows hummed.

"Order all Qingyun Sect disciples within Qingzhou City to immediately assemble at their headquarters! Lay a tight net!"

"Tonight, we'll make sure those bastards from the Drizzle Pavilion never leave alive!"

"Furthermore, have the disciples push the sword formation to its limit, and deploy twenty Innate Realm disciples to guard the perimeter of the mansion. Do not let a single one escape!"

Zhang Tao added, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

The orders were passed down through the ranks, and within half an hour, the Qingyun Sect's headquarters was bustling with activity.

As the sword flashed, a chilling aura shot straight into the sky, even causing the stars in the night sky to dim slightly under its force.

Meanwhile, Di Yun and his companions met up with Jing Ke and his companion, and then prepared to take action at night.

.....

The night was as dark as ink, spilling over the walls of Qingzhou.

Inside the Wenxian Tower, the tallest building in Qingzhou City, the mysterious man stood quietly by the window, with a beautiful woman beside him.

—These two are none other than Xing Xuanchen, the third pavilion master, and Xing Luoyao, the fifth pavilion master, of the hidden force "Star Pavilion".

Xing Luoyao twirled a strand of her hair between her fingers, her gaze sweeping over the brightly lit Qingyun Sect compound below.

Her red lips parted slightly, her voice carrying a hint of languid laughter:

"Third brother, look at the Qingyun Sect's grand display, it's as if they're afraid others won't know they've set a trap."

"Who do you think will win this time, the Drizzle Pavilion or the Azure Cloud Sect?"

Xing Xuanchen stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze as deep as the night sky, and slowly said, "Xiyulou dared to accept this mission, which is by no means reckless."

"I have a feeling that Xiyu Tower will win. Although the auras of the third and fourth elders of Qingyun Sect are strong, they lack composure and are likely to suffer a setback."

Upon hearing this, Xing Luoyao's eyes flashed with curiosity.

"The Qingyun Sect must have some backup plans in order to save face."

"The same goes for Xiyu Tower. Knowing that Qingyun Sect was plotting, they still took action. They must have some trump cards up their sleeves."

"Perhaps so, let's see how things develop," Xing Xuanchen said slowly.

"Should we take action? If we can use this opportunity to weaken the Qingyun Sect's power, it will be of great benefit to our Star Pavilion's emergence."

Xing Xuanchen shook his head, a meaningful smile playing on his lips: "No need!"

"Since the last appearance of the phantom of gods and demons, the Eastern Region is destined to fall into chaos. We still need some time to plan."

"This time, we just need to wait and see how far this show can go."

"You mustn't be too playful. You're still in the mid-stage of the Celestial Realm, so you need to seize the time to improve your cultivation."

"After I leave, you will be in charge of the affairs here. As the spiritual energy of heaven and earth further recovers, we will gradually reappear in the world."

Xing Xuanchen said to Xing Luoyao.

"Hmph! I understand. Don't worry, with me here, there won't be any trouble here," Xing Luoyao said, both embarrassed and annoyed.
