Summoning the Gods: Start by creating the Eternal Night.

Chu Yu stepped forward, clasped his hands in a salute to the six people, and spoke in a steady voice:

"Chuyu greets all seniors."

Nie Zheng, being the most cheerful and outgoing person, immediately burst into laughter and stood up:

"Forget about seniors and juniors, once you join the Eight Guards of Eternal Night, you're brothers!"

"I am Nie Zheng, and my specialty is a fast sword. Please feel free to ask if you need anything in the future!"

Jing Ke nodded slightly, his tone calm yet conveying goodwill:

"Jing Ke was skilled in assassination and was considered a colleague of the Chu Yu brothers."

Yao Li was small in stature, but had sharp eyes:

"Yao Li is skilled in disguise and infiltration. Brother Chu Yu, you can have a friendly spar another day."

Yu Rang stroked the long sword at his waist and laughed loudly:

"Yu Rang, he doesn't have any other skills, but he's incredibly resilient! If there are any tough opponents in the future, I'll take them on!"

Zhuan Zhu patted the dagger at his waist and laughed:

"Zhuan Zhu knows a thing or two about cooking, and he kills as swiftly as chopping vegetables. If Brother Chu Yu wants anything to eat, I'll show off my skills!"

Cao Mo had just completed his task and was brimming with confidence. He patted his chest and said:

"Cao Mo, we just took Zhao Kui's head yesterday. Brother Chu Yu just arrived. From now on, when there are missions, I'll show you the ropes!"

Seeing the crowd's enthusiasm, Chuyu felt a warmth rising in his heart and cupped his hands in greeting once more:

"Thank you all for your acceptance. I am new here and unfamiliar with many things. I hope you can give me some guidance."

"What kind of guidance?" Jing Ke waved his hand, pointing to the character "毕" (Bi) next to the "Zhao Kui" mission on the main stele.

"Look, Cao Mo just pulled off a great job yesterday, getting a million spirit stones in his hands. From now on, you'll definitely have plenty of opportunities to show off!"

Yu Rang chimed in, "Isn't that right?"

"Those rogue cultivators Lord Yuan recruited a few days ago are all highly skilled. Now that our intelligence network has just been established, we brothers will be indispensable in the big battles to come!"

Chu Yu was thrilled to hear this and nodded, saying, "It is my honor to work with you all."

Yuan Tiangang watched as everyone chatted and laughed, and once the atmosphere had eased a bit, he asked:

"By the way, have Di Yun and Linghu Chong returned yet?"

Upon hearing this, Jing Ke scratched his head: "We haven't seen them yet. They were searching for the location of the Blood Slaughter Pavilion's branch yesterday; they should be back by now. Perhaps they were delayed on the way?"

Nie Zheng also said, "Perhaps there has been a new discovery, and they haven't withdrawn yet."

Yuan Tiangang frowned slightly, then relaxed: "It's alright. The two of them are prudent in their actions. Now that we've made a discovery, it's good to keep an eye on them for a while longer."

No one had forgotten the Blood Slaughter Pavilion's assassination attempt on Ye Junlin, so they were ready to investigate thoroughly before destroying the Blood Slaughter Pavilion's branch.

Yuan Tiangang turned to the group and said, "You all take Chuyu to familiarize yourself with the stronghold. I have something to do later, so I'll be leaving now."

After saying that, Yuan Tiangang's figure flickered and disappeared from the Guanyu Pavilion—he needed to rush back to the Eternal Night Space to go to the Wenxian Tower with Ye Junlin.

Inside the pavilion, Jing Ke patted Chu Yu on the shoulder: "Come on, I'll take you to see our 'Fine Rain Pavilion'."

Chuyu responded and followed, looking at his comrades before him, each with their own distinct personality yet all exuding a fierce and courageous spirit.

My anticipation for the battles to come grows ever stronger.

As noon approached, Ye Junlin and Yuan Tiangang left the Eternal Night Space, transforming into two streaks of light that landed outside Qingzhou City before entering the city.

As Ye Jun was about to depart, he strolled along the streets of Qingzhou City. The streets were bustling with noise and shouts.

There were vendors hawking food and drinks, and others selling medicine and weapons; the scene was quite lively.

"Having been away from the Eternal Night Space for so long, I finally get to experience a bit of the mortal world today," Ye Junlin sighed.

Ye Junlin strolled leisurely, appreciating everything around him.

Yuan Tiangang, on the other hand, followed closely behind Ye Junlin like a loyal steward.

Ye Junlin's handsome face, coupled with his unique temperament, made him stand out from the crowd, attracting everyone's attention.

"What a handsome and dashing young man."

"So handsome, I wonder whose young master he is, he's truly a sight to behold."

People around Ye Junlin kept turning their gazes toward him.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, Ye Junlin couldn't help but sigh, no matter where you are, handsome men are always popular.

This is how I look after using the Supreme Mask to disguise myself before going out. If I were to reveal my true face, I wonder how many girls would go crazy for me.

"Senior sister, look, there's a handsome young man in white over there."

At the window of the rooftop of an inn not far from Ye Junlin, a woman dressed in purple gazed at him intently, and spoke to the veiled woman beside her.

"Look at you, all lovestruck. You've only seen a handsome man; what's there to be infatuated about?"

"What? Junior sister, are you thinking of getting married?"

"Why don't you send someone to propose marriage to that young master on your behalf?" the veiled woman joked.

"Senior sister, you're teasing me again. I'm not playing with you anymore."

Upon hearing her senior sister's words, the woman in purple blushed instantly.

The veiled woman also saw Ye Junlin and had to admit that he was indeed handsome, but she had seen too many different kinds of people and was not infatuated with him.

"Holy Maiden, the person wearing a bamboo hat behind that young man is definitely not simple. I cannot see through his strength."

At this moment, the old man beside the veiled woman spoke.

"What? Even Elder Zhao can't see his level of cultivation?"

The veiled woman was also very surprised to hear what the old man said.

"That's right, Miss, this old servant suspects that person is a master of the Celestial Realm," the old man said to the veiled woman.

"Never mind, their identities are none of our business, and we have no connection with them. Let's just enjoy our visit and then leave!"

After a brief moment of surprise, the veiled woman spoke.

Meanwhile, Ye Junlin and Yuan Tiangang had disappeared from the streets and arrived at the most famous Wenxian Tower in Qingzhou City.

This building has seven floors, each a symbol of power, with flying eaves, bracket sets, carved beams and painted rafters.

The waiters at the entrance were all Grandmasters, which shows their profound background.

Even with money, one cannot enter the top floor of the Immortal Inquiry Tower without corresponding strength.

Rumor has it that Wenxianlou is backed by a top-tier power, and over the years, the grass on the graves of those who caused trouble there has grown to over a meter high.

Before returning to the Eternal Night Space, Yuan Tiangang had come to the Wenxian Tower to reserve a spot, and the Wenxian Tower reserved the top floor for him.

This piqued Ye Junlin's curiosity, but with the thought that there was no harm in taking advantage of the situation, he decided to leave it aside for the time being.

"Distinguished guests, a private room upstairs has been prepared. Please follow me."

A middle-aged man who looked like a shopkeeper stepped forward and respectfully led the way.

Ye Junlin and his companion followed him to the top floor, where the aroma of tea filled the air in the private room.

Ye Junlin's appearance this time was solely for the purpose of enjoying the food; otherwise, there would have been no way he would have personally met with Shangguan Hong.

Therefore, he immediately said to the middle-aged man:

"Bring us all your signature dishes."

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man quickly nodded in agreement:

"Alright, please wait a moment, I'll make the arrangements right away."

The middle-aged man and the waiter served him fragrant tea, then closed the door to the private room and left.
