Summoning the Gods: Start by creating the Eternal Night.

The next day, Tianzhou.

As soon as Mei Chuan Nei and her group of over thirty ninjas stepped into Tianzhou territory, everyone's expression changed.

"What... how did my cultivation level drop?"

"Me too!"

"Could there be a deity in Tianzhou who can directly seal our cultivation levels?"

Everyone panicked and started talking all at once.

"Baka! Shut up, all of you!"

Mei Chuan Neiyi shouted sharply.

"This must be the effect of the array suppression!"

She turned and glared at the ninja squad leader who had brought the message, her tone full of anger:

"Baka! Your team found out my brother was killed by Yongye Tian, ​​but why didn't you find out that Tianzhou has a formation that suppresses cultivation levels?"

The ninja squad leader was so frightened that he didn't dare to lift his head, stammering:

"Your subordinate... Your subordinate heard about Lord Neiku's cause of death at a restaurant in Qianzhou and immediately returned to report."

Fearing that delaying too long would expose their identity, they didn't dare to inquire further.

"Useless! Your whole team is useless!" Mei Chuan Nei gritted her teeth in anger and kicked the ninja away.

Seeing this, another ninja squad leader quickly stepped forward and cautiously asked:

"Lord Neiyi, this Tianzhou is too strange. Our cultivation has been suppressed to such a state that we have no way to take revenge. Should we continue to go deeper?"

"Let's go in. We've come this far, how can we go back empty-handed?" Mei Chuan Neiyi said through gritted teeth.

"First, conceal your identity, find out about Yongyetian's background, and then think of another way to take revenge."

"Hi!"

Suppressing their panic, the group continued deeper into Tianzhou.

Shortly after they left, a figure appeared on the treetop, frowning as he watched their retreating figures, and muttered to himself:

"This group of people doesn't look like they belong to the four eastern states. Their accents are strange, and their clothes are odd. We must inform Lord Cao immediately."

After saying that, his figure flickered and disappeared into the forest.

……

Mei Chuan and her group traveled through several small towns, inquiring about Yongyetian.

But the people in the city only knew that Yongyetian was within Tianzhou, but no one knew exactly where it was or had ever seen anyone from Yongyetian.

I did learn two things: first, private use of force is strictly prohibited within Tianzhou, and violators will be killed without exception; second, Yongyetian is building a new city.

The group immediately decided to try their luck in the new city.

Before long, the group arrived at the half-finished south gate of Eternal Night City.

The construction site was bustling with activity, as cultivators moved back and forth carrying huge stones.

Ordinary craftsmen polished the city bricks with clanging and clattering sounds, their noise never ceasing.

A burly cultivator guarding the city gate saw the group of over thirty people standing by the roadside looking around, so he walked over and asked with a smile:

"Gentlemen, are you also here to help build the city?"

One of the ninjas couldn't help but blurt out:

"Baka! We're not here to build a city!"

The cultivator frowned instantly, looking puzzled.

"Why are you talking so strangely?"

"And besides, if you're not here to help build the city, then what the hell are you doing at this construction site?"

With cultivation levels suppressed and martial arts forbidden within Tianzhou, he naturally wasn't afraid of the group opposite him, and his words naturally carried weight.

Mei Chuan Neiyi glared fiercely at the talkative ninja, then quickly smiled apologetically at the cultivator:

"I'm sorry, he's not very bright and can't speak properly."

We are indeed here to help build the city, but we just arrived and don't know where to start working.

Looking at the densely packed cultivators in the city, she knew that this was the only way to find out about the Eternal Night Heaven, so she had to pretend to stay for the time being.

Upon hearing this, the cultivator's expression softened, and he pointed to the north:

"Oh! Then you need to register at the North Gate first. Your accommodation will be assigned based on how much effort you put in."

Mei Chuan Neiyi nodded and led her people toward the North Gate.

After registering under false names, the group was directed to a construction area.

Just as she picked up her tools, a ninja approached Mei Chuan Neiyi and complained in a low voice:

"Lord Nei, are we really going to help them build a city here?"

"Otherwise what?" Mei Chuan Nei rolled her eyes at him, carrying bricks in her hands, her voice low and somber.

"If you don't stay here, how can you find anyone from Eternal Night?"

"Keep to your work and secretly gather information in your spare time, but don't expose your identities."

"Hi!"

No one dared to say anything more and could only keep their heads down and get to work.

In the highest pavilion of Eternal Night City, Cao Zhengchun stood by the window, looking at the group of people, and muttered to himself:

"These must be the weirdos the Bad Guys were talking about, right?"

"Judging from his appearance, he's probably the cultivator from the desolate state that the Bad Commander mentioned before."

"They must be here for Mei Chuan Neiku, who died at Jian Jue's hands before."

He narrowed his eyes, a calculating smile playing on his lips:

"The monks of Wanfo Temple are spreading rumors and causing trouble everywhere. If these two groups get together, hehehe!"

Having said that, he beckoned to one of the thugs, whispered a few instructions in his ear, and

The scoundrel nodded in agreement and quietly slipped away.

……

Mei Chuan and his group worked on the outskirts of the new city while gathering information.

One day later,

It was eventually determined that there was a Lingguang Temple on a mountain north of Tianzhou, which was suspected to be the location of Yongyetian's stronghold.

The ninja group members left the new city in batches, agreeing to meet at the foot of Lingguang Temple.

As Cao Zhengchun watched them leave one after another, the smile on his lips deepened.

At this moment, Shangguan Yan suddenly appeared behind him.

"Miss Shangguan, what brings you here?"

"Come out and see this new world!"

Then the two of them started talking back and forth...

……

Lingguang Temple, located north of Tianzhou, was originally a dilapidated temple that had been abandoned for many years.

Most of the courtyard wall had collapsed, and the Buddha statue was covered in a thick layer of dust.

After the people from Wanfo Temple arrived in Tianzhou, they settled in this place.

Inside the temple, dozens of monks sat cross-legged, the atmosphere somewhat somber.

A young monk looked at the head of the hall and spoke with obvious anxiety:

"Master, we've been in Tianzhou for a week now, searching everywhere, but we haven't even caught a glimpse of Yongyetian. Where on earth is this force hiding?"

The monk, addressed as the hall master, clasped his hands together, his brow furrowed, and said in a deep voice:

"Amitabha! I also find it strange; it's as if this Eternal Night Heaven doesn't exist at all."

Another monk nearby chimed in, "So what do we do next? We can't just keep dragging this on."

"No rush," the hall master said in a sinister tone.

"It doesn't matter if we can't find their location. We'll continue to spread rumors that Eternal Night Heaven is a heretical sect, first stirring up the hearts of the people of Tianzhou, and then when they hold their opening ceremony..."

Before he could finish speaking, a young monk rushed in, looking flustered.

"Master, more than thirty people have come down from the mountain and are heading towards the temple. They don't seem to have any good intentions!"

The hall master suddenly stood up, a hint of wariness flashing in his eyes:

"Could it be that we spread rumors and were discovered by the people of Eternal Night? Let's go out and take a look!"

The monks immediately grabbed their wooden fish drums and followed their abbot out of the temple.

Just as they arrived at the mountain gate, they bumped right into Mei Chuan Neiyi and her group.

The two stood facing each other, sizing each other up, and the atmosphere instantly froze.

On the ninja group's side, one of the ninjas scratched his head, looking puzzled:

"Why are they a group of monks? Is Eternal Night Heaven a Buddhist force?"

The Wanfo Temple side looked at the group of short, bearded monks opposite them:

"Why does this look like a sinner from the desolate land?"

Wasn't the desolate state sealed off by several major forces?

How did I end up here?

Could it be that Yongyetian colluded with the people of Huangzhou?

Or is it that Eternal Night Heaven itself is a force of the Desolate State?

Mei Chuan Nei spoke first: "Are you from Yongyetian?"

The leader also asked, "Are you from Eternal Night Heaven?"

Both of them were taken aback. Was the other person not...?

The hall master then asked, "Are you sinful cultivators from the desolate state?"

"Baka! Who are you calling a sinner?" a ninja snapped.

The hall master's eyes darkened; he really was a criminal from the desolate state.

They actually found a way out of the state. This news needs to be relayed back immediately.

Just then, a burst of spiritual energy suddenly shot out of thin air towards the crowd at Wanfo Temple!

"Bang!"

One of the monks collapsed.

The abbot of Wanfo Temple was furious:

"Bold sin cultivator!"

"Leaving the state without permission is already a violation of the rules of the Eastern Region, and you still dare to take the initiative to attack us?"

He immediately gave an order to the monks behind him:

"Go! Perform the ritual to help them pass on to the afterlife!"

Mei Chuan Neiyi was completely bewildered.

They didn't lay a hand on it, so where did this attack come from?

There was no time to think further; the monks from Wanfo Temple had already rushed over.

The two sides immediately engaged in battle.
