Everything sounded normal at first, but the last sentence was completely unexpected for Zhao Gao and Yan Ri. They were both caught off guard by this sudden turn.

The two of them simultaneously stared at the White Lotus Sect Leader in front of them with strange eyes, and all kinds of strange thoughts surged in their minds.

"Hmph..." Perhaps feeling uncomfortable with such a gaze, Liuying snorted coldly and said, "No point in talking any more, hand..."

However, before she could finish her words, the space behind her suddenly began to twist violently as if being kneaded by an invisible hand.

In the blink of an eye, the originally ordinary space turned into a huge black and purple space crack, with howling winds inside, and the wind was as cold as a knife, biting and bone-chilling.

“Pah.”

At this thrilling moment, a huge dark hand appeared out of nowhere like a ghost.

This hand was like a devil's hand from hell, grabbing Liuying's body with lightning speed.

Liuying didn't even have time to let out a scream before she was suddenly dragged by the big hand. The whole person was like being caught in a vortex and was instantly pulled into the dark and purple space crack.

In the blink of an eye, her figure disappeared without a trace, as if she had never existed.

"What is that?!"

Yanri cried out in astonishment. He was completely stunned by this sudden change and was unable to react for a moment.

Zhao Gao frowned tightly. He stared at the residual power fluctuations in the distance and said thoughtfully, "Perhaps, that is the ancient demigod from the Central Region?"

Seeing this, the Earth Protector felt something was wrong. He looked at Zhao Gao for help and said, "Master Zhao, what should we do now?"

"Should we notify the Mirror Heart Demon Envoy above?"

All the Heavenly Guards trained by Tianwai Tian were created by Mirror Heart Demon, so the first person that the Earth Protector in front of him thought of was Mirror Heart Demon.

"No need. The most important thing now is to let you ascend to the position of the leader of the White Lotus Sect. First, kill the guardian that day."

A gloom flashed across Zhao Gao's eyes, and he said in a slightly cold tone:

The Earth Protector wanted to say something but hesitated in the end he did not say it.

at the same time.

Zhu Ying, the leader of the White Lotus Sect, was pulled into space by a mysterious hand. She only felt a flash before her eyes and then she came to a completely unfamiliar place.

She looked carefully and found herself in a strange dark palace.

This palace was extremely large, with no end in sight. The surrounding walls and ground were flickering with strange golden flames, illuminating the entire space in a dim yellow.

In the center of the palace, there are eighteen strange stone statues. These stone statues are lifelike, as if they have life.

What’s even more surprising is that the eyes of each stone statue seem to emit a faint light, making it feel as if they could come alive at any moment.

"Where is this?" Liuying looked around and said in confusion.

However, before she finished her words, four dark evil spirits suddenly penetrated in from outside the palace.

The four evil spirits floated in the air like ghosts for a while, and finally gathered into a black-robed ghost on the throne in the center.

The black-robed ghost slowly raised his head, revealing a sinister and terrifying face.

There was no expression on his face, only a pair of empty eyes staring at Firefly.

“Hehehe…”

"This is the Dark Demon Palace. You don't need to know who I am. You just need to know that I saved you."

The man in black robe let out a low and sinister laugh, which echoed in the empty palace and made people feel creepy.

"Dark Demon?"

There was a hint of doubt in Liuying's eyes, and his mind kept recalling the information about ancient forces, but there was no record of this force.

At this moment, several familiar figures appeared from both sides.

The escaped Snake Queen Mu Ling, the Lord of the Heavenly Demon Palace Di Jue, and the Green Prince Gu Qingshan holding the magic sword.

These are all the top land gods on the continent!

"I didn't expect you to be valued. How strange!"

Di Jue's eyes were cold, his tone was full of mockery and disdain, and deep down he looked down upon the White Lotus Sect.

Gu Qingshan and Mu Ling looked indifferent and had no interest in Liuying.

Seeing the people meet, the atmosphere became tense. The black-robed man standing at the top said, "Okay, we are all on the same side, so restrain yourselves."

"I don't want to see infighting before my divine path begins."

His words seemed extremely majestic. After he finished speaking, Di Jue and Liu Ying restrained their breath, turned their heads away, and did not look at each other.

"Lord Dark Demon, if you have anything to say, just speak frankly. We are all demons, and we don't like the righteous people's beating around the bush!"

Snake Queen Mu Ling asked at the right time

The man in black robe looked at him in surprise and said in a serious tone:

"I summoned you here this time because the world ranking list will be opened in advance, and we can start our plan now."

“When the time comes, you only need to cooperate in secret, and I will capture all those land immortals in one fell swoop, and turn them into a trace of divine power to surge up the divine path.”

There was a flash of lightning in the black-robed man's eyes, and a hint of hope and desire emerged in them.

"The world ranking list is opened in advance?"

"But Tianxia City is where Emperor Xuan is based. Will he agree?"

The emperor looked at the man in black robe in despair, his tone full of doubt. An idea had already begun to emerge in his mind: could it be that the man in front of him was the Xuan Emperor?

He was not the only one who had such thoughts, Mu Ling and Liu Ying also felt the same way.

"Hehehe......."

The man in black robe did not respond directly. He just laughed and said mysteriously, "Don't worry, he will agree. Hahaha..."

The scene changed.

After finishing the conversation, the man in black robe appeared in Tianxia City with just a thought.

Even though Tianxia City had countless masters, they had no sense of this man's arrival. Only Emperor Xuan, who had been sitting in the sky above the city, discovered it.

"This feeling is... Dark Heavenly Dao?"

Emperor Xuan's eyelids trembled slightly, and his tone was excited but also carried a hint of anger.

Before he could stand up, a man in black robe appeared above him.

"It's been a long time since we last met, my old friend, Emperor Xuan."

An Tiandao's face was full of emotion, as if he was really meeting an old friend.

But Emperor Xuan, on the other hand, had a gloomy face and said in a dissatisfied tone: "I have done everything I should do. We are even now. Why are you looking for me now?"
