Summoning the Gods: Start by creating the Eternal Night.

Central Region, Youzhou, City of Sin.

Suddenly, a crack appeared in the void, and a figure in black robes stepped out.

It was the black-robed man who had previously appeared in the cave behind the Yunlan Sect.

"Is this the City of Sin?"

He whispered something, and suddenly unleashed the oppressive aura of a late-stage terrestrial immortal, enveloping the entire City of Sin.

In an instant, the houses in the city rattled and tiles fell one after another.

The cultivators in the city felt as if a huge rock was pressing on their chests; many immediately knelt on the ground, finding it difficult to breathe.

They all looked up and around, but could not find the source of the oppressive aura.

"What's going on? Who is this powerful figure who has angered us here?"

"Such a powerful aura! Is it aimed at our Sin City?"

"Quickly find somewhere to hide! Don't get caught in the crossfire!"

Inside the study of the city lord's mansion, Li Wujiu was handling official business when he suddenly looked up, a hint of seriousness flashing in his eyes.

He instantly flashed out of the mansion, stepped into the void, and faced the black-robed man from afar.

"Who are you? And why are you harassing Sin City?"

Li Wujiu's sharp gaze locked onto the man in black robes, and his spiritual energy circulated silently around him.

The man in black robes let out a strange laugh: "Hehehe! You must be Li Wujiu? I am the Right Protector of the Netherworld Palace in Zhongzhou."

Li Wujiu's heart sank. He naturally knew about the Netherworld Palace.

That was a powerful figure from the evil sects of the Central Region, known for his ruthless and unpredictable actions. Apart from the Heaven and Earth Pavilion, almost no one in the Central Region dared to provoke him.

Why would they suddenly target the City of Sin in Youzhou?

"I didn't know the Right Protector had come. What brings you here?" Li Wujiu asked calmly.

"I'm giving Sin City a chance."

The right-hand guard's tone carried an undeniable arrogance.

"Submit to our Netherworld Palace, and we can help you advance your cultivation to a higher level. What do you say?"

Li Wujiu sneered inwardly. So this was a recruitment drive. With the Underworld backing him up, why would he submit to anyone else?

"Thank you for your kind offer, Right Protector," he declined curtly.

"My Sin City has no intention of submitting; please return."

Upon hearing this, a sinister glint flashed in the eyes of the Right Protector:

Are you sure you want to refuse? Or is it that you can't make the decision?

He looked Li Wujiu up and down.

"You must have someone behind you, right? Otherwise, how could you be so calm with your mid-stage Earth Immortal cultivation?"

"Since you've already guessed, why ask any more questions?"

Li Wujiu remained calm, but secretly crushed a communication jade slip.

The Right Protector cackled, "Hehehe! If that's the case, as long as you or this City of Sin is in danger, the person behind you will surely show up, won't they?"

Li Wujiu's expression changed slightly: "What do you want to do?"

The Right Protector licked his lips, a ruthless glint in his eyes: "Naturally... we'll force him out!"

Before he finished speaking, he threw a punch, the wind from which was wrapped with black evil energy, aimed straight at Li Wujiu's face.

Li Wujiu was prepared and quickly used his spiritual power to block.

With a muffled thud, he felt his arm go numb and his blood surge, and he was so shocked that he was forced to retreat hundreds of steps.

"Is that all you've got?" the Right Protector scoffed, his attacks becoming even fiercer.

Li Wujiu knew he was no match for him and could only barely parry and buy time.

He struck out with a palm, the wind of which was fierce, but it was easily neutralized by the Right Protector.

"A mere mid-stage terrestrial immortal dares to be so insolent before me!"

The Right Protector grinned maliciously, his figure swayed, easily dodging the giant palm, and at the same time, he threw a punch to meet it.

The two exchanged several blows in the void, and Li Wujiu was clearly at a disadvantage.

The Right Protector seized an opening, flashed forward, and punched him in the chest.

"puff!"

Li Wujiu spat out a mouthful of blood and fell towards Sin City like a kite with a broken string, crashing down on a group of houses.

Upon seeing this, the cultivators in the city were immediately thrown into panic:

"The city lord has been defeated!"

"Who is fighting the city lord? That's terrifying!"

"Didn't we hear there's a powerful figure behind Sin City? Why haven't they come out yet?"

The Right Protector slowly descended into the air, his gaze, hidden beneath his black robes, sweeping over the panicked Sin City cultivators and the disheveled Li Wujiu, carrying a hint of mockery:

"Li Wujiu, you must have already informed your backer that they've arrived, right?"

Li Wujiu struggled to his feet from the ruins, clutching his chest, a cold glint in his eyes:

"You... will regret this."

"Oh? Regret?" The Right Protector scoffed, unconcerned.

"Then I'll see just how capable the person behind you is."

"But before that, let's liven up this City of Sin!"

He suddenly raised his hand and shouted:

"Meteor Fist!"

In an instant, countless fist imprints appeared in the sky, like a meteor shower, densely crashing down on Sin City.

Li Wujiu was extremely anxious and quickly mobilized all his spiritual power to create a huge protective shield to protect the core area of ​​the city lord's mansion.

Boom boom boom!

But the rest of the area suffered. As the fist imprints fell, the houses instantly turned into ruins, and the cultivators who had no time to dodge screamed as they were smashed into mincemeat.

"How dare you do this!" Li Wujiu's eyes were bloodshot, but he was powerless to stop it.

The Right Protector licked his lips and sneered, "A bunch of ants, they're dead and that's it."

"As for you, the fact that you've managed to hold on until now is somewhat beyond my expectations."

He had barely finished speaking when he suddenly looked up in one direction, a playful smile curling at the corner of his lips:

"Oh? They've finally arrived?"

"Snap!"

The void tore open, and a figure stepped out.

The newcomer wore an ice sculpture mask and exuded a cold aura; it was none other than Indra, who had rushed over after receiving the message.

His gaze swept over the devastation in the city and the wounded Li Wujiu.

Finally, the sound landed on the right protector, as cold as ice:

"Did you do all of this?"

The Right Protector readily admitted it, and said smugly:

"Indeed. It is I!"

"So you're the one behind Li Wujiu, aren't you? I've been waiting for you for a long time. I am..."

"Very well!" Di Shitian interrupted him directly as he introduced himself, his eyes revealing murderous intent.

"Since you did it, you'll leave your life behind!"

Before he could finish speaking, Di Shitian had already closed in, unleashing a palm strike: "Dry Ice Palm!"

The chilling air instantly condensed into a palm print, carrying the power to freeze everything, and went straight for the Right Protector's head.

The Right Protector was dumbfounded. Why did this person attack without listening to anyone?

He had intended to reveal the name of the Netherworld Palace to force the other party to submit, but now it seemed that the other party had not given him a chance to speak at all.

In the heat of the moment, he could only throw punches to defend himself.

boom!

As the two attacks collided, the Right Protector felt a chill spread along his arm, making his bones ache.

He was so shaken that he was sent flying hundreds of meters before he could barely regain his balance.

"How is that possible?"

He was both shocked and furious. His opponent was clearly also a late-stage terrestrial immortal, so why was his strength so terrifying?

Before he could even recover, Indra's second attack arrived:

"A thousand blades piercing the clouds!"

Countless ice blades appeared out of thin air and rained down on the right protector, blocking all his escape routes.

The Right Protector quickly summoned a black banner, which unfolded and transformed into a barrier of black mist.

The ice blade struck the black mist, making a hissing sound, and most of the black mist was frozen.

"Interesting," a cold smile curled at the corner of Indra's mouth beneath his mask, "but not enough."

His figure flickered and disappeared from the spot.

The Right Protector felt a sudden sense of alarm and was about to turn around when he felt a chill run down his spine.

Indra had already appeared behind him, placing a palm on his back.

"Snap!"

The ice spread, and the Right Protector's body was instantly frozen solid.

The cold air seeped into his skin, making him shiver all over, and his spiritual energy flow was immediately blocked.

He then realized that he had probably kicked a hornet's nest.

"Who exactly are you?!"

The Right Protector was both shocked and frightened; he had never imagined that he would be so easily defeated.
