Summoning the Gods: Start by creating the Eternal Night.

Tianzhou, the site selection location for the new city.

Yuan Tiangang and Cao Zhengchun stood side by side, followed by Shangguan Lie and Nangong Gong.

Yuan Tiangang's gaze swept across the mountainous terrain before him. He raised his hand and waved it, unleashing a vast array of spiritual energy that transformed into an invisible giant blade.

With a few sharp "crack" sounds, the surrounding towering peaks...

Faced with this force, it was as fragile as tofu, and was flattened in an instant.

Then, with a flick of his sleeve, a gentle force surged forth, slowly filling in the deep canyon below.

In just a short while, the rugged terrain was transformed into a flat and open vast open space.

Yuan Tiangang withdrew his hand, patted the non-existent dust in his palm, and looked at Shangguan Lie and the other person behind him:

"Alright, the foundation is leveled. Now we can proceed with construction according to the plan."

He pointed to Cao Zhengchun beside him.

"This is Eunuch Cao, one of the Nine Envoys of Eternal Night."

"From now on, he will be in charge of coordinating and managing the city's construction."

"Furthermore, quite a few cultivators have already flocked to Tianzhou."

"Your two families need to assist in managing and registering the resources they bring, and hand them all over to Eunuch Cao."

"We will arrange for someone to purchase the necessary building materials from the Linglong Chamber of Commerce."

Shangguan Lie and Nangong Gong quickly bowed and replied, "Yes! We will obey your orders!"

Yuan Tiangang said no more, and his figure disappeared from the spot in a flash.

Cao Zhengchun stepped forward, his face plastered with his usual polite smile:

"Gentlemen, there's no time to lose. Please lead your men to clear the area first."

"Then we will bring the cultivators who have flocked to Tianzhou here to register their information and collect resources."

"Sure, sure, we'll make the arrangements right away!"

Shangguan Lie and Nangong Gong responded in unison, then turned and quickly left to begin allocating manpower.

About three hours later.

The vast flat ground was already bustling with noise.

Shangguan Lie directed his clansmen to move rubble and level the land.

Nangong Gong arranged for people to register and collect resources.

The two glanced at the endless stream of cultivators pouring into Tianzhou from time to time, exchanged a smile, and their eyes revealed a hint of relief.

A mysterious place, the location of the Star Pavilion.

Inside the elegant attic, Xing Luoyao whispered to a refined-looking middle-aged man:

"Second brother, Yongyetian is going to build a city in Tianzhou. Do you think our Star Pavilion should join in the fun?"

The second master of the Star Pavilion put down his teacup and looked at her with gentle eyes:

"Little sister, please feel free to speak your mind."

Xing Luoyao's eyes lit up, and she began to speak eloquently:

"I think we should take the initiative to talk to Yongye Tian."

"Provide them with some resources to build a city, and in return, give them the right to do business."

"Think about it, with Yongyetian's current momentum, this city will definitely become one of the top cities on the Tianyuan Continent in the future."

"Our Star Pavilion's businesses are all over the Eastern Region. We can't just give up on Tianzhou. It's always a good idea to secure a spot in advance."

The second pavilion master pondered for a moment and nodded:

You have a point.

"You've dealt with the people of Eternal Night Sky before, so I'll leave this matter to you. Just be careful."

"good!"

Xing Luoyao smiled and agreed, then turned and quickly left, clearly impatient.

……

Central Region, City of Sin.

"Bang! Bang!"

A violent collision sound came from above, and the two figures were fighting fiercely back and forth.

One claw-like motion was soft and sinister, carrying the aura of death.

A figure with unpredictable movements and a sharp, blood-stained blade.

These two men were none other than the surrendered official and the Marquis.

In a separate courtyard below, a burly, bronze-skinned drought demon...

Looking at the roof, which was shaking and shedding dust.

His brows furrowed, and he looked up and shouted:

"Hey! Stop fighting! Please stop!"

"If you keep fighting, you'll tear Sin City down!"

Beside her, the older sister was holding a greasy oil paper package.

While munching on a fragrant chicken leg, he mumbled a suggestion:

"It's a terrible drought, don't worry about them!"

"They'll stop when they get tired."

"Here, have a taste. It's fresh out of the oven and smells amazing!"

The drought demon gave her a disgruntled look: "Eat yours! I'm not eating!"

In the air, the surrendered minister dodged Hou Qing's attacks while roaring in response to the drought demon below:

"It's his fault for always interrupting me!"

Hou Qing retorted, "Wasn't it you who first said I hadn't improved and had no taste!"

"You've always had no class! Take this!"

The surrendered minister's fist struck Hou Qing's face directly.

"You freak who stitches corpses together, how dare you talk to me like that!"

Hou Qing dodged to the side and threw a punch in return.

The two exchanged blows, each punch landing squarely, and fought for another half an hour.

They only stopped reluctantly when they were both panting heavily, and then landed beside their elder sister and the drought demon.

Hou Qing's eyes were swollen like a panda's, and the surrendered minister's right eye was also covered in a dark circle.

Neither of them paid any attention to the other, and they went straight to pick up the chicken leg in front of their older sister and started gnawing on it.

Inside the Sin City Lord's Mansion, Li Wujiu witnessed this scene through the window.

He breathed a long sigh of relief, but his heart was filled with helplessness: these two troublemakers have finally calmed down.

Ever since his four ancestors—Jiangchen, Houqing, Hanba, and Ajie—came to the City of Sin, he hasn't had a single night of peaceful sleep.

They fight every three days and cause a major disturbance every five days, scaring the cultivators in the city so much that they dare not go out.

"Alas! Your Majesty the Ghost Emperor, please come and take them away! Your subordinate can't hold on much longer..."

Li Wujiu rubbed his temples, silently grumbling to himself.

Just then, the commander of the secret guards hurried in and bowed to report:

"Lord Qi, recently many cultivators from other states have been flocking to Youzhou."

"To investigate the forces behind Sin City, both openly and covertly."

"Even worse, some disregard the rules we have set and commit crimes within the territory of Youzhou."

A cold glint flashed in Li Wujiu's eyes, and he snorted coldly:

"Hmph! It seems some people are starting to test our limits."

"Pass down the order: anyone who disobeys the rules of Youzhou will be executed without mercy!"

"Yes!" The commander of the secret guards accepted the order and turned to leave.

Li Wujiu stood up and walked towards the villa where the four surrendered officials lived.

"Perfect timing, let's give these 'ancestors' something to do."

They soon arrived at the villa, and his elder sister spotted him immediately, greeting him with a smile:

"Tomoko, what brings you here?"

Li Wujiu's lips twitched; the way he was addressed as "Little Jiuzi" always made him feel awkward.

Luckily, I don't have an older sister, otherwise I would really be the "brother-in-law".

He composed himself and said seriously, "I've come to ask you four for a favor."

"Recently, many cultivators from other states have flocked to Youzhou, and some of them have broken the rules."

"I would like to ask the four of you to go out for a stroll when you have nothing to do, and take care of those unruly high-level cultivators while you're at it."

The surrendered official, who was applying an egg to his eye, lazily replied upon hearing this:

"Understood. I'll take care of it when I go out."

Li Wujiu breathed a sigh of relief: "Then I'll trouble you four. I won't bother you any longer."

After saying that, he turned around and left quickly, afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would be affected by the "daily routine" of these people.

After he left, the older sister wiped her mouth:

"We're getting tired of staying in Sin City anyway, how about we go out for a walk tomorrow?"

The drought demon nodded: "I have no objection. I've been thinking about some new things recently, so I'll go out and find someone to try them out."

The older sister looked at Hou Qing, who was leaning against a pillar with his eyes closed, and asked, "Where's my brother? Does he want to go out?"

Hou Qing opened his panda eyes and said calmly, "Okay."

"Okay! Let's go out and play tomorrow!" The older sister clapped her hands and smiled like a child.
