Summoning the Gods: Start by creating the Eternal Night.

Yunlan Sect, a secluded courtyard.

The Left Protector held the communication jade slip, reading its contents:

[The Palace Master has ordered! Proceed to Youzhou immediately to annihilate the Underworld! No delays allowed!]

He dared not delay, and flashed to Yun Feiyang's cave, pushed open the stone door, and looked directly at Yun Feiyang, speaking:

"Immediately assemble all cultivators above the Void Realm level from your Yunlan Sect and accompany me to Youzhou!"

Upon hearing this, Yun Feiyang's expression changed. Wasn't this tantamount to draining the entire fighting force of the Yunlan Sect?

"Left Protector, isn't this... a bit too much of a fuss? I feel..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the Left Protector's cold gaze.

"I want to completely wipe out Youzhou, and the more people I have, the better."

"What, you don't want to?"

The Left Protector stepped forward slowly, lowered his voice, and uttered words that struck at Yun Feiyang's weak spot:

"The Palace Master has already agreed. Once this matter is settled, the entire Yunzhou region will be under the control of your Yunlan Sect."

"If you continue to make excuses like this, I don't mind reporting back to the Palace Master and reconsidering this promise."

Upon hearing the words "take charge of Yunzhou," Yun Feiyang was overjoyed.

But then he thought about having to mobilize the entire clan to go to Youzhou, and he was troubled again.

The power of the Underworld should not be underestimated. Who knows how many more people will die this time? These are the very foundation of his Yunlan Sect.

His expression shifted several times, his brows furrowed into a tight knot, and after a long silence, he finally gritted his teeth and nodded:

"I agree! But my sect's Second Elder, Yun Xizhou, needs to stay behind to guard the sect."

The Left Protector pondered for a moment. Knowing that Yun Xizhou was a mid-stage Land Immortal, he figured it wouldn't hurt to keep him. He then nodded in agreement: "Alright!"

Yun Feiyang took a deep breath and channeled his spiritual power to project his voice throughout the entire sect: "All disciples of the Yunlan Sect above the Void Realm, assemble immediately at the plaza!"

The sound rolled and crashed back and forth between the mountain gates.

In an instant, figures emerged from various caves and palaces, rushing towards the plaza.

No one dared to delay. The Supreme Elder personally issued the order, so who would dare to dawdle?

In a secluded courtyard, Feng Lingxu, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, opened his eyes.

He got up and pushed open the door, where the two Celestial Elders were already waiting.

"Supreme Elder."

"Hmm." Feng Lingxu lifted his foot and walked out, his voice as cold as ice.

"Let's go, let's go too. The day has come to avenge our Fenglei Pavilion."

……

In less than 15 minutes, the square was packed with people, roughly more than two hundred.

The crowd whispered amongst themselves, discussing the matter animatedly.

"Why did the Supreme Elder summon us so urgently? Could it be that a powerful enemy is about to attack?"

"I don't know, but judging from this setup, it's definitely not simple."

"I did hear some news that they're going to Youzhou to fight a force called the Underworld."

"The Underworld? The Underworld that destroyed the Wind and Thunder Pavilion a couple of days ago?"

"Nonsense, what other underworld could there be besides this one?"

"Alright, alright, stop talking. The Supreme Elder and the Sect Master are here!"

On the high platform, Yun Feiyang, Yun Xizhou, Yun Shan, Yun Leng, and three other celestial elders appeared one after another.

Yun Feiyang stepped forward, his gaze sweeping over the crowd below the stage, and said in a deep voice:

"Gentlemen, I have summoned you here today for a matter of life and death concerning my Yunlan Sect."

The audience fell silent, with over two hundred pairs of eyes fixed on him.

"There is a Netherworld in Youzhou that harms its fellow practitioners and indiscriminately kills the innocent. Recently, it even wiped out the entire Fenglei Pavilion."

"If such a scourge is not eliminated, it will surely become a major problem in the future."

Yun Feiyang's voice grew louder and louder.

"What's worse, the Underworld is already eyeing my Yunlan Sect covetously and may attack at any time."

"These wicked people, do you promise to let them go?"

"No way!"

More than two hundred people roared in unison, the sound so loud that the wind and clouds above the square rippled slightly.

Yun Feiyang raised his hand and waved it, his tone resolute:

"Alright! Follow me on this expedition to annihilate the Underworld and protect the peace of my Central Plains! Let's go!"

"yes!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yunshan took the lead, leading Yunling and three elders at the Celestial Realm, along with more than two hundred elite disciples, and marched in a grand procession toward the mountain gate.

On the high platform, Yun Feiyang turned to look at Yun Xizhou beside him, his expression solemn:

"Second brother, the entire sect is entrusted to you."

Yun Xizhou patted his shoulder, his eyes filled with deep worry, and said in a deep voice:

"Don't worry, brother. With me here, Yunlan Sect will never make any mistakes."

"You also need to take care of your own safety and bring the disciples back safely. They are the future of the Yunlan Sect."

"I will."

After Yun Feiyang finished speaking, he flashed into the air.

The Left Protector, Feng Lingxu, and the two Celestial Elders were already waiting there.

Yun Feiyang approached the group, glanced at the winding procession below the mountain, and frowned:

"Left Protector, there are so many people, we can't tear through space to bring them over."

"It's alright." The Left Protector raised his eyes and looked towards Youzhou, his eyes filled with a chilling killing intent.

"Let those people from the Underworld live a little longer, let's go!"

Without further delay, the group leaped up and caught up with the main force that was gradually moving further away, speeding towards Youzhou.

Yun Xizhou stood on the high platform, watching the procession disappear into the horizon.

He let out a long sigh, his brow furrowed with worry.

"Sigh... Brother, I hope you made the right choice today..."

He withdrew his gaze, his voice carrying spiritual energy throughout the mountain gate:

"The rest of you disciples, each perform your duties, cultivate diligently, and do not panic!"

After saying that, he turned and left the square, returning to his cave.

Unnoticed by anyone, an ordinary disciple quickly returned to his cultivation room after the crowd dispersed.

After confirming that no one was around, he took out a pitch-black token from his pocket.

He gathered spiritual energy at his fingertips, channeled it into the token, and quickly entered a message.

Then, with a burst of spiritual power, the token flashed with a faint light, and the message was instantly transmitted to a distant place.

After doing all this, he hid the token again, took a deep breath, and casually pushed open the door and walked out.

……

Youzhou, the City of Sin, the secret chamber of the city lord's mansion.

As Indra was practicing his breathing exercises in his room, the token at his waist suddenly began to vibrate.

He opened his eyes, picked up the token, and channeled his spiritual power into it. A clear, cold female voice immediately entered his ears.

"Master, the spy we planted in the Yunlan Sect has sent back a message."

"The Yunlan Sect has assembled all its disciples above the Void Realm and is heading to Youzhou."

"Only the Second Elder, Yun Xizhou, a mid-stage Land Immortal, remains in the sect to guard it."

"Understood. Continue to keep a close eye on their movements and report any unusual activity immediately."

Indra spoke in a flat tone, revealing neither joy nor anger.

"Yes, Master."

Luo Xian paused, then added,

"Oh, right! There's one more thing. The Zhongzhou Tiandi Pavilion has also sent people to Youzhou. Their purpose is not yet clear. Master, you need to be extra careful."

"The Heaven and Earth Pavilion?" Di Shitian's eyes flashed slightly as he responded calmly.

"I understand. When you are out there, please take good care of your safety."

"I understand, disciple."

The communication was cut off. Di Shitian put away the token, and in a flash, he appeared in the council hall of the city lord's mansion. His voice, enveloped in spiritual energy, resounded throughout the mansion:

"Everyone, proceed to the council chamber immediately for a meeting!"
