Summoning the Gods: Start by creating the Eternal Night.

Qiongzhou, Langchuan City.

In a small tavern facing the street, Chang Haoling held a wine glass, gazing at the bustling crowd outside the window.

"Little sister, don't you think this world is much more wonderful than the one in my last life?"

He turned to look at Chang Xuanling beside him, a faint smile playing on his lips.

Chang Xuanling, who was fiddling with the token at her waist, looked up upon hearing this and blinked:

"It was truly spectacular, and our cultivation levels are much stronger than in our previous lives."

Chang Haoling took a sip of her drink, her gaze sweeping across the tavern entrance, her eyebrows slightly raised:

"It's almost noon, why hasn't Jiang Yuyan arrived yet?"

After the brother and sister set off from the Underworld and entered the territory of Qiongzhou, they split up with Jiang Yuyan to investigate the Demon Alliance and agreed to meet in Langchuan City two days later.

But as the appointed time approached, Jiang Yuyan still hadn't shown up, and the brother and sister both looked worried.

"They're probably delayed on the way. Let's wait a bit longer."

Chang Xuanling offered words of comfort, but a vague unease lingered in her heart.

……

Meanwhile, on a desolate ancient road within Qiongzhou.

Jiang Yuyan, dressed in white clothes stained with blood and with her hair disheveled, was desperately trying to escape.

Blood trickled from the corner of her mouth, and her breathing was somewhat disordered; she was clearly injured.

"You little wench, stop right there!"

A rough, hoarse roar came from behind, and two figures gave chase.

It was Zhu Tou and Fan Tong, two elders of the Demon Alliance, who were originally from the Hehuan Sect.

"Hehehe! Surrender obediently and come back with us, maybe we'll spare you some suffering!"

Fan Tong grinned maliciously and increased his speed even further.

Jiang Yuyan didn't turn her head, gritting her teeth and angrily said:

"Don't even think about it!"

The story begins after she separated from the Black and White Impermanence.

After separating from the Black and White Impermanence, she went alone to "Joy City," the former territory of the Hehuan Sect, to gather information.

In order not to attract attention, she disguised herself, but in the end she still underestimated her own appearance.

Even with a veil covering her face, her figure and demeanor could not conceal her elegance.

At first, things went smoothly. She blended into the crowd and quietly inquired about the Demon Alliance.

The next day, she learned that Hua Xiaoji, the second son of Hua Wuxin, the former sect leader of the Hehuan Sect, was having fun at the Huanxi Pavilion in Huanle City.

"Hua Xiaoji... as the son of the Demon Lord, must know a lot of inside information."

Jiang Yuyan had a sudden thought and decided to take the risk.

She knocked out a maid, changed into her clothes, and carrying a fruit platter, walked calmly toward Hua Xiaoji's private room.

As soon as she pushed open the door, her heart tightened. Behind Hua Xiaoji stood two composed old men, both with cultivation levels at the mid-stage of the Celestial Realm! They were Zhu Tou and Fan Tong.

Jiang Yuyan sensed something was wrong and put down the fruit plate, intending to leave, but just as he bent down...

But Hua Xiaoji inadvertently caught a glimpse of her silhouette beneath the veil and immediately called out to her:

"You, come and drink with me."

"If you serve me well, I'll take you back to the Demon Alliance to enjoy a life of luxury."

Jiang Yuyan frowned and did not respond.

Zhu Tou immediately scolded, "Didn't you hear what the Second Young Master said? What are you standing there for? Come here right now!"

When had Jiang Yuyan ever suffered such humiliation? Even in her most destitute moments in her past life, she had never been treated like this.

She said coldly, "I don't drink. Please invite someone else, sir." With that, she turned and left.

"stop!"

Hua Xiaoji was furious. He had always been unruly and undisciplined in this Joy City, and no one had ever dared to defy him.

"How dare you, a mere maid, give me attitude?"

Jiang Yuyan ignored her and swung a palm strike at Hua Xiaoji.

"Watch out!" Zhu Tou and Fan Tong rushed forward to block.

Taking advantage of the momentary chaos, Jiang Yuyan leaped out of the window and sped away.

"Grab her! I'm going to torture her properly!"

Hua Xiaoji was both shocked and furious, and roared at the two of them.

"yes!"

Zhu Tou and Fan Tong dared not delay and immediately chased after her, leaving the guards outside to protect Hua Xiaoji.

Moments later, in the dense forest outside the city, the three quickly engaged in combat.

"graft!"

"Wedding Dress Divine Palm!"

Jiang Yuyan managed to withstand two consecutive attacks from Zhu Tou and Fan Tong.

Both of them were shocked. This woman was clearly only at the early stage of the Celestial Realm, but her strength far exceeded her realm, and her movement technique was even more bizarre.

"You've got some skills; no wonder you dare to be so presumptuous in front of the Second Young Master!"

A ruthless glint flashed in Zhu Tou's eyes. "But do you think you can escape like this?"

The two no longer held back and attacked with all their might.

Jiang Yuyan was fighting two opponents at once, and she could barely hold on at first, but after all, her cultivation level was much lower.

Gradually, he lost ground and sustained several wounds.

"We can't afford to waste any more time!"

She acted decisively, striking out with her palm to force the two men back, then used her movement technique to turn and run away.

This led to the scene of the chase on the ancient road.

The chase lasted for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

Jiang Yuyan, with her exquisite agility, finally managed to shake off the two men.

"Damn it! That little wench got away! How am I going to explain this to the Second Young Master?"

"Who knew this woman could run so fast! I guess I'll just have to go back and tell the truth."

Zhu Tou and Fan Tong lost their target and could only return to Huanle City cursing and swearing as they reported back.

Inside the Huanxi Pavilion private room, Hua Xiaoji was furious when she saw the two return empty-handed:

"Useless! Two mid-stage Celestial Realm cultivators couldn't even catch a little wench?"

"I think you should stop calling yourselves Zhu Tou and Fan Tong, and start calling yourselves Pig Head and Rice Bucket!"

These words struck a nerve with both of them, and their faces turned pale and then red.

However, due to Hua Xiaoji's status, he dared not lash out and could only bow and reply:

"Yes, the Second Young Master is right."

"Hmph! What a spoilsport!" Hua Xiaoji lost interest and waved her hand. "Let's go back."

……

On the other side, Jiang Yuyan, despite her injuries, headed towards Langchuan City following the route she had previously learned.

She just wanted to reunite with the Black and White Impermanence as soon as possible, treat her wounds, and then make further plans.

But just as she rounded a bend, a figure suddenly appeared in front of her, blocking her way.

"Um?"

Jiang Yuyan's pupils shrank suddenly, and she was terrified. This person had a very strong aura.

The man blocking their path was a burly man with a thick beard, none other than Zhu Debiao, the former elder of the Hehuan Sect, who was now an elder of the Demon Alliance.

Since the Hehuan Sect submitted to the Demon Alliance and began cultivating the techniques bestowed upon them by the Blood Demon Ancestor,

He has now advanced from the late stage of the Celestial Realm to the peak stage of the Celestial Realm.

He had been ordered to go out and collect the essence blood of cultivators, and had just returned from another state.

He happened to run into Jiang Yuyan, who was fleeing in a disheveled state, and immediately had evil intentions.

"Who are you?"

Zhu Debiao sized her up, his eyes filled with hostility.

"I don't think there's a female cultivator like you in Qiongzhou."

Jiang Yuyan suppressed the panic in her heart and said, panting:

"I am from out of state, just passing through, and will be leaving now..."

"Out-of-state resident?" Zhu Debiao grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth. "That's perfect, hehehehe..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly unleashed his peak Celestial Realm cultivation and struck out with a palm!

Jiang Yuyan was already severely depleted of spiritual energy and was also injured, so how could she be his match?

There was no time to dodge; he was struck hard in the chest by a palm strike.

He flew backwards like a kite with a broken string.

He coughed up a mouthful of blood.

She struggled to get up, but found her whole body weak and sore.

He couldn't muster even the slightest strength and could only watch helplessly as Zhu Debiao approached step by step.

"This is it..."

Jiang Yuyan felt a chill in her heart. Was she going to die here today?

Zhu Debiao walked up to her, looking down at her with greed in his eyes:

"A female cultivator at the early stage of the Celestial Realm, and quite a beauty..."

"This essence blood must be very nourishing... It's perfect to take you back and offer you to the Demon Lord!"

He stretched out his large, fan-like hand, grabbed Jiang Yuyan, and headed towards the Demon Alliance.
