Summoning the Gods: Start by creating the Eternal Night.

At this moment,

Yunshan, the sect leader of Yunlan Sect, flew out and caught him quickly, his brows furrowed as he looked at the two people in mid-air.

The two men exuded a heavy, imposing aura that made him feel a subtle pressure. He dared not be negligent and softened his tone slightly:

"Who are you two? Why are you attacking my Yunlan Sect elders and addressing my sect's supreme leader by his given name?"

"The Netherworld Palace, Left Protector!"

The Left Protector's gaze swept over Yunshan, his tone indifferent as he announced his name.

Yun Shan's expression changed in surprise. The newcomer was actually the Left Protector, one of the four great protectors of the Netherworld Palace in the Central Region?

But the Yunlan Sect has never had any dealings with the Netherworld Palace, so why did they suddenly come knocking on their door?

His heart was filled with doubt, but he dared not be negligent and quickly bowed.

"So it is the Left Protector who has graced us with his presence. Our elders were blind to his greatness and have no respect for him. Please forgive us."

"I wonder what important matter the Left Protector wishes to discuss with my master?"

The Left Protector, too lazy to pay attention to Yunshan, shouted again towards the back mountain of Yunlan Sect:

"Yun Feiyang, aren't you coming out yet?"

In the cave behind the Yunlan Sect, Yun Feiyang had already overheard everything.

He hadn't expected the Left Protector of the Underworld to come so openly and brazenly.

He originally harbored some selfish motives, only wanting to submit to the Netherworld Palace himself.

Even if he makes a mistake in the future, Yunlan Sect will have a way out.

Now things have gotten really bad. The Left Protector has come knocking on our door, making it known to everyone. From now on, Yunlan Sect will have no way to clear their name.

"Oh well, never mind."

He sighed softly, and with no other choice, channeled his spiritual power to project his voice:

"Yunshan, bring these two distinguished guests in for a chat."

Upon hearing the Supreme Elder's voice, Yunshan was even more puzzled, yet dared not disobey.

He quickly gestured for the Left Protector and Feng Lingxu to enter:

"Please come in, gentlemen."

With that, he led the two through the mountain gate and headed straight for the cave dwelling where clouds soared in the back mountains.

Upon arriving at the entrance of the cave, Yunshan pushed open the door and bowed, saying:

"Your Majesty, our two distinguished guests have arrived."

Yun Feiyang glanced at him and said calmly:

"You can go now. I'll explain everything to you in detail later."

"Yes."

Yunshan left, filled with doubt.

Only three people remained in the cave. Yun Feiyang pointed to the stone bench and greeted them with a smile:

"Please sit down."

As he poured the tea, his gaze fell on Feng Lingxu.

Staring at the black robe for a long time, feeling that the figure looked somewhat familiar, I couldn't help but ask:

"And who is this fellow Daoist?"

Feng Lingxu reached up and pulled off the cloak covering his head, revealing a face full of wrinkles but with clear eyes. He grinned, his voice hoarse:

"What? Old Ghost Yun, it's been so many years, don't you recognize me?"

Yun Feiyang paused, holding his teacup, and looked up to take a closer look. His eyes widened immediately, and he almost dropped the teacup:

"It's you! Crazy Hush?! You old geezer, you're still alive?"

Feng Lingxu rolled his eyes and said irritably:

"You're still alive, how could I bear to die?"

"Also, stop yelling at me like you did when you were young, it sounds awful."

The two had known each other since they were young, and had been rivals for most of their lives. Whenever they met, they would act all serious and unserious.

"Alright," the Left Protector interrupted the two in a deep voice, "Let's get down to business."

He looked at Yun Feiyang, his tone carrying a hint of accusation:

"Let me ask you, when you went to the City of Sin in Youzhou with the Right Protector?"

"Why was he crippled, his legs severed, and on the verge of death, while you remained unharmed?"

Yun Feiyang's expression changed, and he abruptly stood up, his face filled with shock:

"What? He...he's in trouble?"

He then explained urgently,

"When I saw that things were not going well, I was afraid that there were more experts from the underworld coming, so I clearly told him to leave quickly."

"After I returned to Yunzhou, I noticed he didn't come with me. I thought he had escaped and returned to Zhongzhou. How could this be..."

The Left Protector stared at him for a moment, and seeing that his expression did not seem feigned, he slowly nodded:

"Okay, I'll believe you for now."

"The reason we've come here is to have you accompany us to the City of Sin in Youzhou to completely annihilate the Netherworld forces that injured the Right Protector."

Yun Feiyang's face instantly showed difficulty, and he subconsciously frowned.

"Are you going again?"

The thought of the eerie soul attack from the person in the ice-carved mask sent chills down his spine, and he really didn't want to provoke them again.

Seeing his hesitation, the Left Protector's face instantly turned cold, and his tone carried a hint of oppressive power:

"What, now that you've submitted to the Netherworld Palace, you're unwilling to do even this simple thing?"

"It's not that I'm unwilling." Yun Feiyang quickly waved his hand, making up an excuse:

"It's just that the Wang family of Yunzhou has been keeping a close eye on my Yunlan Sect recently."

"If I leave the sect, they might take advantage of the situation to cause trouble once they find out."

"The Wang family?" the Left Protector asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Are you referring to the ancient Wang family?"

"Exactly." Yun Feiyang nodded, a calculating glint in his eyes.

"My Yunlan Sect and the Wang family both live in Yunzhou, and they have never gotten along. It is no exaggeration to say that they are sworn enemies."

"so…."

The Left Protector interrupted him with a disdainful smirk:

"What's so difficult about that? I'll just use the name of the Netherworld Palace to make them submit."

Yun Feiyang shook his head: "Difficult. The Wang family is very arrogant, I'm afraid they won't agree."

A ruthless glint flashed in the Left Protector's eyes, his tone cold and hard:

"They dare disobey? If they refuse to listen to reason, then we'll wipe them out."

Yun Feiyang's eyes lit up instantly.

The Wang family and the Yunlan Sect had been fighting for years, and he had long wanted to eliminate this major threat, but he had never had the opportunity.

If he could use the Netherworld Palace to eliminate the Wang family, then the Cloud Mist Sect would be able to completely control Cloud Prefecture. He couldn't be happier with such a good thing.

"Is the Left Protector's statement true?"

"When has the Netherworld Palace ever gone back on its word?"

The Left Protector also had his own plans. Previously, the Right Protector had subdued the Yunlan Sect.

If he could subdue the Wang family again, or even destroy them and allow the Yunlan Sect to control Yunzhou alone,

Upon returning, the Palace Master will surely reward you, and your position will be more secure.

He immediately stood up: "There's no time to lose, let's go and meet the Wang family first."

"good!"

As soon as they finished speaking, the three figures flashed and disappeared into the cave, leaving only a gentle breeze behind.

.....

On the other side, the Wang family mansion

In the stone chamber where he had secluded himself in his ancestral home, Wang Xuansheng was meditating with his eyes closed.

The door was flung open, and the patriarch, Wang Hetian, rushed in.

His face was contorted with panic, and his voice trembled.

"Fourth Patriarch, something terrible has happened!"

Wang Xuansheng slowly opened his eyes, and frowned slightly as he looked at his flustered appearance:

"What's the panic? Is the sky falling down?"

"It's worse than the sky falling!" Wang Hetian gasped for breath and blurted out.

"Our spy planted in the Yunlan Sect sent word back to the Left Protector of the Netherworld Palace in Zhongzhou."

He brought a powerful stranger into the Yunlan Sect, and the two had a secret conversation in Yun Feiyang's cave, not emerging for a long time!

"The Netherworld Palace?"

Wang Xuansheng suddenly stood up, his face instantly darkening.

"That old bastard Yun Feiyang has indeed sided with them!"

He paced back and forth, his heart sinking to the bottom.

He had previously gone to Sin City seeking an alliance to deal with the chaos after the world's restoration, but he was met with a rebuff and has been worried ever since.

Now that the Left Protector of the Netherworld Palace has approached the Cloud Mist Sect, it's obvious that the Cloud Mist Sect has already colluded with the Netherworld Palace.

The Wang family had been fighting with the Yunlan Sect their entire lives, and he knew Yun Feiyang's thoughts all too well.

Now that the Netherworld Palace has become his backer, Yun Feiyang will definitely use the Netherworld Palace to eliminate the Wang family.
