Summoning the Gods: Start by creating the Eternal Night.

The fierce battle between Zhao Gao and Dongfang Wei and Beiming Mountain was interrupted by an explosion.

He glanced out of the corner of his eye at the spot where the shadow had been, but it was now empty.

A cold glint flashed in his eyes; the shadow must have fled to fetch reinforcements.

"Looks like I don't have time to play with you guys anymore!"

Zhao Gao snorted coldly and suddenly unleashed a fierce palm strike.

After forcing Dongfang Wei and Beiming Shan to retreat, he then shouted:

"Shangguan Lie, Nangong Gong, retreat!"

The three of them moved in a flash and arrived at the battlefield between Wei Zhuang and Dongfang Wu.

At this moment, although Wei Zhuang had suffered some minor injuries, he had gained the upper hand, while Dongfang Wu was more seriously injured and his breathing was disordered.

Seeing this, Zhao Gao did not hesitate and reached out a claw from behind, instantly piercing Dongfang Wu's heart!

Dongfang Wu's body stiffened, and he slowly turned around, his eyes filled with disbelief and resentment:

"You...despicable!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his body plummeted straight down from the sky.

"Wu'er...!"

Dongfang Wei, who was chasing from a distance, saw this scene and his eyes widened in horror. He let out a heart-wrenching roar.

Zhao Gao turned around and gave Dongfang Wei and Beiming Shan a cruel smile:

"Hehehe, next time we meet, I'll send you down to keep him company!"

He exchanged glances with Wei Zhuang, Shangguan Lie, and Nangong Gong.

The four figures flashed simultaneously, rushing towards Tianzhou.

They knew that it would be difficult to defeat Dongfang Wei and Beiming Shan, both at the peak of the Celestial Realm, in a short period of time.

If we delay here and wait for the shadow to bring reinforcements, we will only find ourselves in a passive position.

Meanwhile, Jing Ni and the others had already dealt with the remaining Shadow Guards and retreated ahead of time to catch up with the two clans' forces.

"Where do you think you're going! I'm going to kill you all!"

Dongfang Wei, acting like a madman, disregarded Dongfang Wu's corpse and roared as he chased after him.

Seeing this, Bei Mingshan had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow.

At this moment, he and Dongfang Wei were already in the same boat.

……

On the other side, not long after the shadow escaped from the ravine,

Then they encountered Qian Yuan and the Second Master who came to their aid.

Seeing that the shadow was covered in wounds and its spiritual energy was exhausted, Qian Yuan immediately flew to the shadow's side and asked with a frown:

"Shadow! What's going on?"

Shadow coughed up blood, his voice weak:

"Ahem~, Your Highness... the Shangguan family and the Nangong family have colluded with the Xiyu Tower; we are no match for them..."

"The three elders sacrificed themselves to cover their subordinates' retreat!"

"What?"

"The Fine Rain Pavilion?"

Qian Yuan was furious.

"How dare they interfere in the affairs of my Great Qian Dynasty! Where are they?"

"A mountain valley five hundred li away!"

Qian Yuan took out a pill from his storage ring and threw it over:

"Take it quickly and lead us there!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Shadow took the pill, swallowed it, and after a short rest, led Qian Yuan and the two elders to fly towards the mountain valley.

Upon arriving at the mountain valley, they found only a scene of devastation, with not a single living person in sight.

Qian Yuan's gaze swept across the entire mountain valley, finally landing on Dongfang Wu's corpse, and he said in a deep voice:

"Dongfang Wu also failed here; it seems they've already escaped."

"Since we didn't find the bodies of Dongfang Wei and Beiming Shan, they must have caught up with them."

The Shadow Movement Technique probed for a few moments, pointing in one direction:

"Your Highness, there's still a lingering aura over there!"

"Chase!"

Qian Yuan's eyes were icy cold.

"They will pay the price today!"

The three followed the scent and quickly gave chase.

……

At the border between Qianzhou and Tianzhou, members of the Shangguan and Nangong families are resting and recuperating.

Shangguan Hong gazed at the misty mountains ahead, his expression filled with trepidation.

"We're now in Tianzhou territory."

Nangong Lin also looked towards Tianzhou, his expression filled with worry.

"Yes, but I wonder if our rash entry might anger the mysterious Eternal Night Heaven?"

Just then, Hei Bai Xuan Jian, Jing Ni, and the others caught up.

"Don't worry," Hei Bai Xuan Jian said.

"My Xiyu Tower has some connections with Yongyetian, so you can rest assured."

"As long as we don't use force within Tianzhou territory, we'll be fine."

No one outside knows that Xiyulou is a force under Yongyetian, and they have no intention of revealing it.

Upon hearing this, both Shangguan Hong and Nangong Lin were startled.

Since its appearance, the Eternal Night Heaven has been shrouded in mystery.

I've never heard of any connections with any power.

Today, I learned from the people at Xiyulou that they had a connection with him.

Such secrecy is enough to overturn their understanding!

"That's great!" Shangguan Hong breathed a sigh of relief.

Black and White Xuanjian took the lead:

"alright!"

"Two clan leaders, bring your people and come with us."

Shangguan Hong hesitated before asking, "Aren't we waiting for your esteemed building's deputy master and our two families' ancestors?"

"No need, they'll be there soon. Let's go to Tianzhou first."

"good!"

Without further hesitation, Nangong Lin and Shangguan Hong led their clansmen into Tianzhou territory, following Hei Bai Xuan Jian and the others.

Upon entering, among the members of both clans, those whose cultivation was above the Void Realm...

They all felt an invisible pressure, and their cultivation was forcibly suppressed to the Void Realm!

"What's going on? My early Nirvana cultivation has been suppressed..."

"Me too! I've been suppressed to the Void Realm!"

People from both families exclaimed in surprise, their faces showing panic.

Nangong Lin also discovered that his mid-stage Celestial Realm cultivation was being suppressed, and frowned as he looked at Hei Bai Xuan Jian:

"Fellow Daoist, what's going on?"

Hei Bai Xuan Jian turned to face the crowd and began to explain:

"Do not be nervous!"

"This is the state-level formation of the Eternal Night Heaven. Any outsider whose cultivation level is higher than the Void Realm will be suppressed to the Void Realm."

"Such a formation exists?"

Upon hearing this, Nangong Lin gasped.

"The work of Yongyetian is truly terrifying!"

He had never seen such a domineering formation in his entire life.

Shangguan Hong was also shocked: "So, as long as they're within Tianzhou, isn't Yongye Heaven invincible?"

"You could say that."

Hei Bai Xuan Jian nodded. "Also, remember! The use of force is strictly prohibited within Tianzhou."

"As long as you behave yourselves, you will be in no danger."

Looking at the mountains and rivers of Tianzhou, shrouded in spiritual energy, Nangong Lin sighed:

"Tianzhou is truly a treasure land..."

"It's a pity that our two clans have little interaction with the Eternal Night Heaven, otherwise, if we could establish ourselves here, we would definitely be able to develop peacefully."

At this moment, in the void above everyone's heads,

Yuan Tiangang looked down and heard everyone's conversation clearly. He seemed to be deep in thought.

"Oh? These two powerful families want to establish themselves in Tianzhou?"

"After the destruction of the Qingyun Sect, cultivators in Tianzhou either died or fled, so the area became less lively."

"If we can let them develop here, perhaps they can provide some resources for my Eternal Night Heaven."

"This matter can be reported to the monarch."

After saying that, Yuan Tiangang's figure flashed and disappeared into the void.

At the entrance to the Eternal Night Space

As soon as Yuan Tiangang stepped out, he saw Black Emperor wagging its tail, preparing to go out.

"Yo! Gangzi, you're back?"

Black Emperor looked at Yuan Tiangang with a grin.

Yuan Tiangang frowned slightly; he really disliked the black dog calling him "Gangzi."

They even sparred several times over this matter, but neither gained the upper hand, so they gave up on pursuing it.

"Trying to sneak out again?"

What does "slippery" mean?

Black King held his neck high, looking arrogant.

"I am going to inspect the territory of Tianzhou, and I specifically sought permission from the monarch beforehand!"

Yuan Tiangang thought to himself:

"Even a dog wouldn't believe that!"

"Oh, no! It is a dog, maybe it just believed it."

He didn't bother to argue and waved his hand dismissively.

"Then you may go. I'm going to see the monarch to report some matters."

"Alright! Oh! By the way, the monarch is playing chess with the Eastern Emperor Taizong in the Five Imperial Palace. Go find him there!"

After saying that, the Black Emperor dashed out of the Eternal Night Space.

Yuan Tiangang then turned and walked towards the Five Imperial Palace.
