Summoning the Gods: Start by creating the Eternal Night.

The Eternal Night Space, the Eastern Palace of the Five Emperors.

On the chessboard, black and white pieces are intertwined, and the situation is deadlocked.

Ye Junlin sat upright in front, holding a black chess piece between his fingers, calm and composed, as if victory was assured.

Yuan Tiangang's figure appeared silently in the hall, and he bowed respectfully:

"Your subordinate greets the sovereign and Lord Dongyu."

Ye Jun placed a piece without even looking up:

"What is it?"

"Your Majesty, the Shangguan and Nangong families have already entered Tianzhou."

Yuan Tiangang paused, then added,

"From what I overheard, they seem to be interested in establishing themselves in Tianzhou, but they are troubled by their lack of connection with my Yongyetian."

Ye Junlin slightly raised his eyes and looked at Yuan Tiangang: "What are your thoughts?"

"I do have an idea. Although my Eternal Night Heaven doesn't need to establish a sect headquarters outside,..."

But it can build a facade city that belongs to us.

"Why not bring these two families into Tianzhou, let them contribute funds and labor to build the city, and I, Yongyetian, will provide them with protection?"

Donghuang Taiyi paused slightly in his chess game, and looked at Yuan Tiangang:

"That idea has some merit."

Ye Junlin smiled slightly, placed a black stone, and cut off the large white group in half:

"The idea is feasible, but building a city is something that these two companies alone probably can't accomplish."

Donghuang Taiyi glanced at the white pieces on the chessboard, whose fate was sealed.

He put the chess pieces into the chess box and also shared some of his thoughts:

"My lord, this is not difficult."

"Firstly, we can spread the word that our Eternal Night Heaven will build a city."

Anyone who contributes funds or labor will be granted the right to reside and conduct business.

Now that the five regions are about to unite, many people will surely seek a safe haven.

"Secondly, after the city is built, those who enter the city need to pay spirit stones, and merchants will receive a share, which can also replenish resources."

Ye Junlin stood up, put his hands behind his back, looked out at the boundless void outside the hall, and pondered for a moment:

"Gangzi, then let's do it according to your and Donghuang's ideas."

"You can discuss the specific details of the city's construction with Cao Zhengchun; the two of you will be fully responsible for it!"

"I have only one requirement: anyone who enters Tianzhou must not violate the rules of my Eternal Night Heaven!"

"Yes, sir!" Yuan Tiangang bowed and accepted the order, then quietly withdrew.

……

On the other side, at the border of Tianzhou.

Just as Zhao Gao and his group arrived at the border and were about to step into Tianzhou, they heard a rapid whooshing sound behind them.

"You killed my master, you won't get away!"

Dongfang Wei caught up, his eyes bloodshot, with Bei Mingshan following behind him.

Zhao Gao frowned, then turned to Wei Zhuang and said:

"You go to Tianzhou to recuperate; we'll take care of these two."

"it is good."

Wei Zhuang nodded, and in a flash, he stepped into Tianzhou territory.

Zhao Gao turned around, looked at Dongfang Wei and Beiming Shan, and sneered:

"Since you insist on throwing your lives away, then I will grant your wish!"

"Yin Sha Palm!"

The pitch-black palm print, carrying a chilling aura, hurtled towards the two.

Shangguan Lie and Nangong Gong also attacked simultaneously, each unleashing their ultimate techniques.

The three men formed a triangular formation, surrounding Dongfang Wei and Beiming Shan in the middle.

Sword shadows and fist winds intertwined, forcing Dongfang Wei and Beiming Shan to retreat repeatedly.

Although both of them were at the peak of the Celestial Realm, they gradually fell into a disadvantageous position when facing the combined attack of Zhao Gao and the other two, and could only grit their teeth and persevere.

They knew that the imperial reinforcements were surely on their way, and that if they could hold out until the reinforcements arrived, the situation could be reversed.

During the fierce battle, Zhao Gao spotted an opening in Dongfang Wei's defenses and gave Shangguan Lie a meaningful look.

Shangguan Lie understood immediately, and his figure flashed behind Dongfang Wei like a ghost.

Extend and bring your index and middle fingers together, while bending the rest of your fingers to form a "tiger seal" shape:

"A Thousand Years of Killing!"

Dongfang Wei sensed the disturbance behind him and hastily conjured a spiritual energy barrier.

puff!

The finger beam pierced the barrier, though its power was greatly reduced.

Yet it still pierced Dongfang Wei's buttocks, and blood instantly stained his trousers.

"ah--!"

"Shangguan Lie, you despicable scoundrel, you actually dared to stab my Orange Blossom!"

Dongfang Wei cried out in pain, and his offensive immediately stalled.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!

Just then, several whooshing sounds rang out from behind the battlefield.

The two sides that were fighting immediately stopped and stood on opposite sides.

It was Qian Yuan, the Second Elder, and Shadow who caught up with them!

"Oh no! It's Qian Yuan!"

Shangguan Lie's expression changed drastically. He knew Qian Yuan's strength well and immediately sensed something was wrong!

"Greetings, Your Highness!"

Dongfang Wei and Beimingshan quickly retreated behind Qian Yuan.

"Hmm!" Qian Yuan nodded slightly.

Then, his gaze, sharp as a knife, swept over Shangguan Lie and Nangong Gong:

"You traitors, deserting the dynasty and daring to kill court officials, what is your punishment!"

After speaking, his gaze fell on Zhao Gao again, his tone icy:

"And you, the Drizzle Pavilion, dare to interfere in the affairs of my Great Qian Dynasty? Are you truly tired of living?"

Zhao Gao wouldn't tolerate him, and he began to mock him with a strange laugh:

"Hehehe, are you out of your mind?"

"If your imperial court is going to exterminate someone's entire family, isn't it only natural for them to run away?"

"And what's wrong with my Fine Rain Pavilion taking money to do things?"

"If you're so capable, you're welcome to try and destroy my Drizzle Pavilion!"

"Great! Excellent!"

Seeing that Zhao Gao was showing him such disrespect, Qian Yuan was so angry that he laughed instead.

"I will capture you today, and then I will uproot your Fine Rain Pavilion!"

Before he finished speaking, Qian Yuan shot out like an arrow and struck Zhao Gao with his palm.

"Dragon Suppressing Palm"

The palm strike contained pure royal dragon energy, transforming into a golden dragon that roared as it charged towards Zhao Gao.

"The Net of Black Stockings!"

Zhao Gao dared not be negligent and formed a hand seal.

Countless black threads appeared out of thin air, weaving together into a giant net to block Qian Yuan's palm strike.

"Bang!"

The palm strike collided with the giant net, the black threads snapped inch by inch, and Zhao Gao was forced to retreat repeatedly, his blood surging.

He was secretly shocked—Qian Yuan's strength was even greater than he had expected!

Clearly, he is only one step away from the realm of terrestrial immortals, far surpassing the peak of ordinary celestial beings.

On the other side, the Second Elder, Dongfang Wei, Beimingshan, and Shadow joined forces to besiege Shangguan Lie and Nangong Gong.

In a four-on-two situation, the two players were able to go back and forth at first, but after a few moves, the situation became extremely dangerous.

Seeing this, Zhao Gao knew that if he delayed any longer, defeat was inevitable. He quickly communicated telepathically to Shangguan Lie and Nangong Gong:

"Retreat! Advance to Tianzhou!"

He feinted, forcing Qian Yuan back, then turned and sped towards Tianzhou territory:

"Hahaha, come and chase me if you dare!"

Upon receiving the telepathic message, Shangguan Lie and Nangong Gong immediately unleashed their ultimate techniques to force their opponents back and followed Zhao Gao.

"Where do you think you're going!"

Qian Yuan roared and led the others in pursuit.

"Your Highness, the Heavenly Continent of Eternal Night is just ahead!"

The shadow gave a reminder during the pursuit.

Qian Yuan's eyes sharpened:

"Even if it's Tianzhou, we'll still give it a shot!"

"If we let them escape, what face will our Great Qian Dynasty have left!"

After saying that, he took the lead and stepped into Tianzhou territory.

However, as soon as they entered Tianzhou, an invisible pressure descended upon them.

Qian Yuan and the others felt their spiritual energy stagnate, and their cultivation was forcibly suppressed to the Void Realm!

"What's going on? My cultivation level...?"

Qian Yuan's expression changed drastically.

Shadow and the Second Elder, among others, also exclaimed in surprise:

"Your Highness, we are the same!"

"This Tianzhou is so strange!"

Qian Yuan was both shocked and furious, watching the figures of Zhao Gao and his two companions grow ever smaller in the distance.

Although they were unwilling, they understood that in their current state, they dared not blindly chase after them!

His anger grew with each passing thought, and he slammed his palm down on a nearby hilltop to vent his frustration.

As the palm strike landed, the small mountain collapsed with a deafening roar.

"hateful!"

"Let's leave first, then make further plans!"
