Summoning the Gods: Start by creating the Eternal Night.

In the midst of the fierce battle, Yin Wuji knew that the situation was hopeless.

While desperately resisting Sikong Changfeng's spear strikes,

He urgently transmitted his voice to Yin Wushang's protector, the withered old man:

"Quickly take the young master out through the secret passage and seek help from the Xuanming Sect! Hurry!"

With a flick of his withered eyes, he moved like a ghost and appeared before Yin Wushang.

"Young Master, the Sect Leader has instructed me to take you away first!"

Yin Wushang was already terrified out of his wits. Upon hearing this, he nodded repeatedly, his voice trembling:

"Quick! Old man, take me away right now!"

The withered old man led him quickly into the main hall, and Yin Wushang spoke urgently:

"Quickly open the secret passage!"

The withered old man suddenly stopped, turned around, and revealed a strange smile on his face:

"Hehehe... Young Master, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave."

Yin Wushang was stunned, his expression suddenly changing:

"What...what do you mean?"

The withered old man suddenly reached out and grabbed Yin Wushang by the neck, grinning maliciously as he spoke:

"It's nothing special, just wanted to see the young master off!"

"You...you dare to kill your master? I am the young master of the Xuan Yin Sect!"

Yin Wushang struggled desperately, his eyes filled with disbelief and fear.

"Pfft."

The withered old man chuckled.

"Let me tell you the truth, I am no longer a member of the Xuan Yin Sect, but one of the Bad Guys of the Eternal Night Heaven!"

He suddenly increased the pressure on his hand, and Yin Wushang's face instantly turned purplish-blue.

His limbs convulsed, and the last glimmer of light in his eyes went out completely.

The withered old man casually tossed the corpse aside.

He raised his hand and slammed a palm strike into the entrance to the secret passage beneath the main seat in the hall, sealing it off completely.

He then turned and walked out of the main hall, disappearing into the chaotic battlefield as if he had never existed.

Outside, the battle was nearing its end.

Yin Wuji was sent flying by Sikong Changfeng's spear.

It crashed heavily into the center of the square, creating a deep crater.

His clothes were tattered, and he kept vomiting blood. He didn't even have the strength to stand up.

The elders and disciples of the Xuan Yin Sect have all been killed, and the square is littered with corpses and rivers of blood.

Yin Wuji gazed at Sikong Changfeng in the sky, a mad, resentful glint flashing in his eyes, and sneered:

"Hahaha...you just wait!"

"My son has already left. Once he arrives at the Xuanming Sect, they will surely avenge my Xuanyin Sect!"

"None of you will escape!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the withered old man walked out of the main hall and bowed to Sikong Changfeng in the sky above:

"Old Ku, a member of the Xuanzhou Bad Guys, greets Your Excellency!"

Upon seeing the withered old man, Yin Wuji's eyes widened instantly, and he struggled to roar:

"Kurōzō! You...where is my son?!"

The withered old man glanced at Yin Wuji in the pit and spoke calmly:

"Naturally, I'll take him downstairs first and wait for you."

"You...how dare you..."

Yin Wuji's eyes were bloodshot, and he couldn't catch his breath, so he started coughing violently.

Sikong Changfeng was too lazy to listen to his nonsense anymore.

He tossed his spear, tip pointing downwards, and it shot towards Yin Wuji like a streak of light.

"Pfft!"

The spear pierced Yin Wuji's chest with pinpoint accuracy, pinning him to the bottom of the pit.

Yin Wuji stared wide-eyed, filled with resentment and bitterness, before finally breathing his last.

Yang Guo, Qiao Feng, and others gathered together, clasped their hands in greeting, and said:

"My lord, the Xuan Yin Sect has been destroyed!"

"Very good." Sikong Changfeng nodded.

"Clear out all resources and take them all with you!"

"yes!"

A moment later, the group, carrying the resources they had plundered, gradually disappeared into the horizon.

As the sun set, a raging fire broke out at the Xuan Yin Sect's mountain gate, flames shooting into the sky and reddening half the heavens.

This once first-rate power in the Eastern Region was annihilated, with no survivors.

.....

The news spread quickly within the Xuanming Sect.

An elder bowed to the cult leader, Ming Shang, and reported:

"Master, the Xuan Yin Sect has been destroyed by the Eternal Night Heaven!"

Ming Shang frowned slightly: "Do you know why?"

"It is understood that the Xuan Yin Sect, unaware of its own mortality, occupied part of the former territory of the Qingyun Sect, thus angering the Eternal Night Heaven."

Ming Shang sneered, "Hmph! A bunch of idiots!"

"Didn't you see that even other forces dare not approach the old territory of the Qingyun Sect? They're practically courting death!"

The elder hesitated before speaking, "Since the Xuan Yin Sect is an affiliate of our Xuan Ming Sect, should we... step forward and demand an explanation?"

"I demand an explanation from you!" Ming Shang roared angrily.

"Have you forgotten the ancestor's warning? Never provoke the Eternal Night Heaven lightly!"

He took a deep breath and said in a low voice:

"Pass down the order: all affiliated forces must behave themselves. Anyone who dares to provoke Eternal Night Heaven will face the consequences!"

"Yes!" The elder quickly accepted the order and withdrew.

....

Eternal Night Space, Monarch's Palace.

Cao Zhengchun was reporting to Ye Junlin, who was on the Xuanyu Throne:

"Your Majesty, Lord Sikong Changfeng and others have wiped out all the unruly forces in the former territory of the Qingyun Sect, and the Xuanyin Sect has also been destroyed."

Ye Junlin opened his eyes and nodded slightly: "Very good."

A sharp glint flashed in his eyes as he gave the order:

"The news was sent out to the outside world, announcing to the world that, effective immediately, the area where Qingzhou, Xuanzhou, and Qianzhou meet..."

"It belongs to my Eternal Night Heaven and will be renamed 'Tianzhou'!"

"Yes, sir!" Cao Zhengchun accepted the order and withdrew.

At that moment, the system's voice suddenly rang out!

[Ding! Congratulations, host, on completing the hidden mission: Establish a foundation for Eternal Night Heaven outside the Eternal Night Space.]

[Task Reward: "Heavenly Realm Spirit Locking Array"]

Note: This formation can cover the entire Tianzhou region. Anyone who enters the Tianzhou region and whose cultivation level is higher than the Void Realm will be automatically suppressed to the Void Realm.

Ye Junlin was stunned for a moment, then cursed:

"Holy shit, system!"

"Why didn't you tell me about this hidden quest sooner?"

"If you had told me earlier, I would have acquired a piece of land long ago, instead of being so indifferent to it like before!"

[Ding! Hidden quest; the notification will only be triggered after the host completes it.]

Ye Junlin rolled his eyes:

"Get lost!"

【system:……】

....

The next day,

The news that Yongyetian had officially occupied the border area of ​​the three states and named it "Tianzhou"

Like a bombshell, it exploded in the Eastern Region.

Qianzhou, the Great Qian Dynasty, Zichen Palace.

The shadow reported to Qian Tian on the throne:

"Your Majesty, news has arrived from Yongye Heaven that it has officially seized the area at the junction of the three states and renamed it Tianzhou!"

Qian Tian slammed his hand on the armrest of the dragon throne, his face turning ashen.

"Outrageous! Occupying the territory is one thing, but daring to establish a new state without authorization and name it 'Tianzhou'?"

"This is a complete disregard for our Great Qian Dynasty!"

"No matter what, my Great Qian was once the overlord of the Eastern Region."

Even our Great Qian Dynasty has never dared to use the character 'Heaven' to name a province.

"How dare he, Yongye Tian, ​​try to rule over all the states!"

The shadow whispered, "Your Majesty, should we go and issue a warning?"

Qian Tian took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and calmed down:

"Forget it, let's ignore it for now. Before the Great Ancestor went into seclusion, he left a message saying that we should not make enemies of the Eternal Night Heaven for the time being."

"Go now and continue to keep a close eye on the four great families, collecting evidence of their crimes."

"The time is almost here; it's time to get rid of these parasites!"

"Yes, sir!" The shadow bowed and withdrew.

Wanfo Temple, Mahavira Hall.

The abbot heard that Yongyetian had destroyed the Xuanyin Sect.

He then renamed the area where the three states met Tianzhou and seized it for himself. He clasped his hands together and sighed:

"Amitabha!"

"The Eternal Night Heaven's murderous intent is so strong; this is yet another Nine Nether Demon Sect!"

Many eminent monks and laymen below echoed this sentiment:

"Amitabha Buddha, the abbot is absolutely right."

"If this scoundrel from the Eternal Night Heaven is not eliminated, he will likely endanger the people of the Eastern Region!"

The abbot, with a profound gaze, slowly said:

"Don't be impatient."

"Once the second shackle of heaven and earth is broken, we will contact the top powers to discuss countermeasures."

"We will obey the abbot's decree," the monks said in unison.
