Summoning the Gods: Start by creating the Eternal Night.

Central Region, Death Valley, Underworld Square.

With a flash of light, Luo Xian's figure appeared in the center of the square.

She looked around and saw black mist swirling around, a sinister atmosphere permeating the air, giving off a chilling feeling that kept strangers away.

"Is this the underworld...? So gloomy and terrifying," she murmured to herself.

Just then, inside the Eastern Ghost Emperor's Palace, Emperor Shitian suddenly opened his eyes.

His gaze turned toward the square, a hint of surprise in his eyes:

"Luo Xian? She's been summoned by the monarch too?"

The next moment, his figure appeared in the square.

Luo Xian stiffened slightly upon seeing Di Shitian.

He quickly bowed his head in greeting, his voice carrying a barely perceptible hint of nervousness:

"Disciple Luo Xian greets Master."

She dared not look up and meet his gaze; her brows were filled with awe.

In her heart, Indra was both the master who gave her everything and the one she dared not disobey in the slightest.

The debt of gratitude for raising us is as heavy as mountains and seas, but the deep-seated awe and fear are already etched into our very bones.

Di Shitian looked at her, a hint of emotion in his eyes: "Xian'er, I never thought I would see you again."

"This disciple didn't expect this either..." Luo Xian said in a low voice.

"In my previous life, I was in the wrong. If Master wanted to punish me, I would have no complaints."

"There's no need to dwell on the past," Indra waved his hand.

"We are both at fault, there's no point in dwelling on it."

Luo Xian was taken aback for a moment, then breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes, thank you, Master."

"What did the monarch send you here to do?" Indra asked.

"The monarch has tasked his disciples with establishing an intelligence organization for the Underworld."

"The ten thousand Heavenly Gate disciples who were summoned at the same time have been dispersed throughout the Central Region and are ready to be deployed at any time."

"Oh?" Indra raised an eyebrow. "What a coincidence, our Underworld is in dire need of an intelligence network."

"It all comes down to the monarch's thorough consideration!"

He paused for a moment, then said, "Let me first tell you about the states and power distribution in the Central Region, so that it will be easier for you to carry out your work later."

He then gave Luo Xian a brief introduction to the division of the Central Region into states and the distribution of major powers.

That's roughly the situation...

Indra had not finished speaking.

A hearty laugh suddenly rang out:

"Hey, Emperor Sixth, you're not a very good person, but your female disciples are much more pleasing to the eye than you are."

Wu Wudi strode over, his gaze sweeping over Luo Xian with a hint of mockery.

Di Shitian's face darkened: "Hmph! Martial arts madman, it seems the injuries from destroying the Ghost King Sect last time have healed well?"

"Hehe, do you want to give it a try?" Wu Wudi cracked his knuckles, his eyes blazing with fighting spirit.

A thought flashed through Luo Xian's mind: a martial arts fanatic?

Could it be the same Wu Wudi who defeated his master in the previous life?

Although she had never met him, she had heard of him before. Seeing him today, she was indeed impressed by his extraordinary bearing.

Di Shitian glared at Wu Wudi: "I don't want to fight you right now. Don't get in my way, get lost!"

"What's the rush? I'm just here to watch the fun."

Wu Wudi smiled and turned his gaze to Luo Xian.

"Young lady, are you the Divine Mother of Heavenly Gate, the one from Emperor Lao Liu's story? I've heard so much about you."

She quickly stepped forward and bowed to Wu Wudi, saying, "Luo Xian greets Senior Wu."

"Oh? You know me?" Wu Wudi raised an eyebrow.

"I have heard of your illustrious reputation, senior," Luo Xian said respectfully.

"Haha, the little girl knows how to talk."

Wu Wudi laughed and patted Di Shitian on the shoulder.

"Sixth Emperor, your disciple is quite good; he's much more polite than you."

Di Shitian shook off his hand and said irritably, "Wu Wudi, if you keep messing around, I won't be polite!"

"Alright, alright, I won't disturb your reunion as master and disciple."

Wu Wudi waved his hand, turned around and left.

"snort!"

Indra watched his retreating figure and snorted before turning to Luo Xian:

"Let's go, I'll show you around the Underworld. We'll deal with the intelligence tomorrow."

"Yes! Thank you, Master."

The two walked side by side into the hall.

The next day, early morning.

After consulting with Emperor Shitian, the Divine Mother Luo Xian tore through space and left the Underworld.

They traveled to various parts of the Central Region to mobilize the disciples of the Heavenly Gate and begin building an intelligence network.

The Underworld's intelligence network, the "Underworld Detectives," officially began operation.

And on the other side,

Chang Xuanling rushed along, his spiritual energy severely depleted, and finally arrived at the border of Youzhou.

They happened to run into the four people: the surrendered minister, the drought demon, the Marquis, and the elder sister.

"Xiaobai? What's wrong with you?"

The surrendered minister was the first to notice her disordered breathing and quickly stepped forward.

Upon seeing the four, Chang Xuanling cried out urgently, "My lord, Yu Yan is in trouble!"

"What!" The surrendered official's heart sank. "What happened to Yu Yan?"

"There's no time to explain in detail! I must hurry back to the Underworld to report to the Ghost Emperor!"

Before Chang Xuanling could finish speaking, he had already bypassed the group and was rushing towards Death Valley.

The four surrendered officials exchanged glances, their hearts tightening.

"Let's go back and take a look!" The surrendered minister made a decisive decision, and the four of them immediately gave chase.

Before long, the five arrived at the Underworld and went straight into the Eastern Ghost Emperor's Palace.

Upon seeing Di Shitian, Chang Xuanling knelt down with a thud, her voice trembling with tears:

"Lord Ghost Emperor! Jiang Yuyan...she might have been captured by the Demon Alliance!"

She was panting heavily when she briefly recounted what had happened in Qiongzhou.

The three split up to investigate, and she and Chang Haoling waited in vain at the agreed location.

In the end, he only received a message from Jiang Yuyan containing the words "Demon Alliance".

"The Demon Alliance?" Di Shitian's fingertip paused, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

"Ghost Emperor, we must hurry and save her!" Chang Xuanling's eyes were red with anxiety.

"Yes, Your Majesty the Ghost Emperor!" The surrendered minister stepped forward as well.

"Those people from the Demon Alliance plunder the essence and blood of cultivators everywhere to cultivate demonic arts."

If Yu Yan truly falls into the hands of the Demon Alliance, her chances of survival are slim. We must rescue her as soon as possible!

Before the words were finished, two figures stepped into the hall; they were Wu Wudi and Yin Zhong.

Clearly, they heard the commotion outside.

"We heard what you just said."

Yin Zhong stood with his arms around his shoulder, his tone somewhat solemn.

"Jiang Yuyan is a member of our Underworld. If the Demon Alliance dares to touch her, it's a slap in our face."

Wu Wudi immediately said, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go! Let's storm the Demon Alliance and demand our people back!"

Emperor Shitian made a decisive decision: "Good! There's no time to lose, let's set off immediately to the Demon Alliance to demand our people back."

Yin Zhong suddenly spoke:

"Wait. The underworld cannot be left unattended."

He looked at Indra and explained:

"Recently, some forces have begun to stir, showing interest in Youzhou."

"If we all leave, and a master at the Land Immortal Realm attacks, Li Wujiu might not be able to handle it."

"How about I go to Qiongzhou with Wu Wudi, while you, Eastern Ghost Emperor, stay in the Underworld to oversee things?"

Indra thought about it briefly and found it reasonable:

"Alright."

"The Demon Alliance's control over Qiongzhou suggests they are no ordinary entity; you must be careful."

"If you encounter danger, evacuate immediately and contact me."

"Okay," Yin Zhonghe and Wu Wudi replied.

"Let's go too!" Chang Xuanling, Jiang Chen, Hou Qing, Hanba, and their elder sister all stepped forward to volunteer.

Indra turned to look at the surrendered officials and waved his hand: "You stay."

"The strength of the Demon Alliance is unknown. If you go there, you will not only be of no help, but you may even become a burden."

Yin Zhong also said, "That's right! This trip is dangerous, and the two of us will be more agile."

"If you go with us, we two might not be able to protect you if a fight breaks out. It's better to stay in the Underworld and wait for news!"

Although they were unwilling, they knew that the two ghost emperors were right.

They could only suppress their anxiety and replied in unison, "Yes."

The older sister stepped forward, tugged at Wu Wudi's sleeve, her eyes filled with worry:

"Lord Ghost Emperor, you must...you absolutely must bring Little Swallow back safely!"

Wu Wudi patted her head and said loudly:

"Haha, don't worry! With me here, I guarantee she'll be completely unharmed!"

After saying that, he and Yin Zhong exchanged a glance, and both of them simultaneously unleashed powerful auras.

Space twisted before them, tearing open a dark rift.

"Walk!"

The two leaped into the crevice, their figures vanishing instantly.
