Summoning the Gods: Start by creating the Eternal Night.

The top floor of Tianwailou

Ye Junlin stood by the window with his hands behind his back, and Yuan Tiangang stood beside him. The two of them could see the commotion on the streets of the northern city clearly.

Ye Junlin's eyes grew cold, his tone calm yet carrying a chilling undercurrent:

"It seems that some people don't take Tianzhou's rules seriously at all."

Yuan Tiangang stared at the two groups of cultivators in the north city, their brows furrowed, and spoke in a deep voice:

"Judging from their clothes and demeanor, they are not native cultivators of the Eastern Region; they are most likely from other regions."

"Cao Zhengchun," Ye Junlin called out softly.

"This old servant is here!"

Cao Zhengchun immediately bowed deeply, his back bent very low, his expression respectful.

"Keep the two leaders; deal with the rest."

Ye Junlin's tone was completely calm, as if he were talking about something extremely ordinary.

"Yes, sir!"

Cao Zhengchun responded, his figure flashed, and he leaped directly from the window.

In the blink of an eye, it landed steadily in front of the patrol team.

His powerful aura erupted suddenly, his gaze fixed coldly on Park Deok-kai, and he shouted sharply:

"You audacious madmen, daring to engage in private combat and injure people in Eternal Night City! You have already committed suicide!"

Before Park Deok-kai could react, Cao Zhengchun raised his hand and struck out with a palm, his powerful spiritual energy surging forth like a tidal wave.

Park Deok-kai's pupils constricted sharply; he had no time to defend himself and was instantly sent flying.

Bang!

It crashed heavily onto the bluestone pavement and rolled several meters before coming to a stop.

Fortunately, he was wearing protective soft armor, which prevented him from suffering serious injuries, but blood still trickled from the corner of his mouth, and he looked extremely disheveled.

He struggled to his feet, supporting himself on the ground, staring at Cao Zhengchun in shock, and asked in a trembling voice:

"How come your cultivation level wasn't suppressed by the formation?"

Cao Zhengchun snorted coldly and approached him step by step, his tone icy and piercing:

"Hmph! We are from the Eternal Night Heaven. Why should we be bound by this formation on our own territory? It's laughable!"

Seeing Cao Zhengchun's murderous intent surging and his relentless advance, Park Deok-kai's previous arrogance vanished instantly, and his face turned ashen.

He knew in his heart that he was being suppressed to the Nirvana Realm by the formation.

He was no match for the man before him, and immediately bowed his head and begged for mercy.

"Fellow Daoist, please have mercy! This is all a misunderstanding. I am an elder of the Black Lotus Sect from the Southern Region, and this is my first visit to Tianzhou. I am unfamiliar with the local customs, and I hope you will forgive me!"

"Too late!" Cao Zhengchun's eyes showed no sign of softening as he spoke, enunciating each word clearly.

"The rules of Tianzhou are not something you can trample on at will just because you don't understand them!"

Before he could finish speaking, Cao Zhengchun appeared in a flash, before Park Deok-kai could react.

He raised his hand and struck the back of the neck, knocking the man unconscious.

After dealing with Park Deok-kai, he turned to look at Yan Pi-fu, who was standing to the side looking somewhat flustered.

Yan Pifu trembled and quickly took half a step back, speaking in a flustered tone:

"Fellow Daoist! I didn't harm any of the patrol team members. This has nothing to do with me!"

"You didn't make a move, it's just that our family arrived in time and prevented you from succeeding."

Cao Zhengchun's gaze sharpened. "Come with me and accept your punishment!"

Before Yan Pifu could refute, Cao Zhengchun directly activated the pressure of the Celestial Realm, locking him tightly in place.

Yan Pifu was immobilized by the oppressive force, his face flushed red.

"What do you want to do! Let me go right now, or else...!"

The next second, before he could finish speaking, he was knocked unconscious by Cao Zhengchun with a single palm strike.

The disciples of the Black Lotus Sect and the Blazing Fire Sect were thrown into chaos when they saw their elders being easily knocked unconscious, and everyone looked panicked.

Someone shouted, "Run! Go back and report!"

The two groups immediately scattered like birds and beasts, turning around to try and escape.

Before they could run more than a few steps, Shangguan Lie and Nangong Gong surrounded them with a large number of men, blocking both groups completely and making it impossible for them to escape.

The two men quickly walked to Cao Zhengchun's side, cupped their hands in greeting, and said, "Eunuch Cao!"

"Hmph!" Cao Zhengchun's face was grim, his tone filled with strong rebuke.

"Is this how you manage order in the city?"

"With the city opening ceremony imminent, you dare to allow outsiders to cause trouble in the city, and in front of so many powerful forces! How dare you!"

He was filled with rage at this moment, and he no longer cared about any past courtesy.

The thought that someone had taken action before the city of Eternal Night had even officially opened, and that the monarch had witnessed it, was a clear dereliction of duty on his part.

Shangguan Lie's heart skipped a beat, his face filled with guilt, and he quickly bowed his head to apologize:

"I'm so sorry, Eunuch Cao, it was our oversight!"

Nangong Gong also repeatedly admitted his mistake, both of them filled with remorse.

If they had known this would happen, they would never have lingered at home. But they were careless for a moment, and a huge mess ensued.

"I'll give you one more chance," Cao Zhengchun said coldly.

"If you still can't do a good job, there are plenty of people who can take your place!"

"Yes, yes, yes! We will definitely take strict precautions and never let this happen again!"

The two quickly agreed, not daring to voice any objection.

Just then, two tall, imposing men wearing straw hats strode over and bowed to Cao Zhengchun, saying:

"Eunuch Cao, by order of the Commander-in-Chief, bring these two men back for interrogation."

They were referring to Park Deok-kai and Yeon Pi-bo, who were lying unconscious on the ground.

"Okay." Cao Zhengchun nodded in agreement.

Two thugs immediately stepped forward, grabbed the two men, and quickly left.

Cao Zhengchun turned to look at Shangguan Lie and Nangong Gong, his tone cold and resolute:

"Eliminate the rest of them, leave no one alive."

"yes!"

Without hesitation, the two immediately shouted a command to their men behind them: "Kill! Leave no one alive!"

As soon as the words fell, the surrounding cultivators attacked in unison, heading straight for the panicked disciples of the Black Lotus Sect and the Blazing Fire Sect.

"Ah! How dare you! We are disciples of the Black Lotus Cult!"

"The Blazing Fire Sect will not... will let you go!"

Screams filled the streets in an instant.

In a short while, all the disciples of the Black Lotus Sect and the Blazing Fire Sect were wiped out, leaving only a mess on the ground.

Cao Zhengchun channeled his spiritual power, amplifying his voice throughout the surrounding streets and alleys. His tone was authoritative, and each word resounded:

"Today is the grand opening ceremony of my Eternal Night City. Thank you all for coming to witness this event. All guests are honored, and Eternal Night City extends the warmest welcome to us."

"But! You all need to remember this well! Once you step into my Eternal Night Heavenly Realm, you must abide by the rules of Eternal Night Heaven!"

"If anyone harbors ill intentions or wants to cause trouble, this is what will happen to those people! I hope you won't make a mistake!"

The surrounding cultivators were all terrified and quickly composed themselves.

Everyone knew this was a warning from the Eternal Night Heaven, even those cultivators with ulterior motives.

At this moment, they stood obediently in place, not daring to make the slightest move.

Meanwhile, the various factions hidden among the crowd also saw the key point.

That means the people of Eternal Night Heaven are not subject to the suppression of cultivation arrays on their own territory!

This means that in the City of Eternal Night, they simply have no means of resistance.

No one dares to act recklessly again, otherwise they would be courting death.
