Ten thousand spirit crystals, one million drops of spirit gathering liquid, and a spirit gathering formation composed of countless spirit stones.
The above three things are what Emperor Jiu prepared for this retreat.
After sitting cross-legged in the spirit gathering formation, Emperor Jiu gently raised his head and glanced at the sky.
"seal up!"
With a low shout from Emperor Jiu, an invisible barrier suddenly enveloped the entire Xuanyu Palace.
"rise!"
With another low shout, ripples suddenly appeared on the surface of Xuanyuan Palace, and the restriction of Xuanyu Palace was activated.
"boom!"
The Emperor's Secret Art was activated, and a huge suction force suddenly came. Spirit crystals were sucked into Emperor Jiu's body as if they were free.
......
Wind and Rain City, Eternal Night Teahouse.
As a streak of light passed by, Sikong Nan's figure suddenly appeared in the retreat room.
Waving his hand to remove the secret mechanism he had set up before leaving, Sikong Nan once again turned into the down-and-out scholar.
"Deputy Sect Leader, you've come out of seclusion!"
"Meet the deputy sect leader!"
Sikong Nan walked in the vast underground world of Guimen, and people kept greeting him or saluting him along the way.
Ghost Gate!
Looking at the two clear big words on the gate, Sikong Nan knew that he had arrived at his destination!
"Master Envoy, you are out of seclusion!"
Seeing Sikong Nan appear, Lu Ling waved his hand and asked his subordinates in the room to leave, and then bowed to her respectfully.
Lu Ling has always been in awe of Sikong Nan.
After all, the deeds of Jiang Ye, Marquis of Zhenxi, are vividly displayed there.
A full 200,000-strong army from the Western Regions was gone in an instant.
When Lu Ling learned the news, he almost moved Guimen’s headquarters out of Fengyu City.
The combat power of a warrior at the Grandmaster level is simply terrifying.
With a gentle wave of his hand, an invisible restriction instantly enveloped the entire room.
"Mr. Envoy, what are you doing?"
Looking at the soundproofing restriction set up by Sikong Nan, a gleam of light suddenly flashed in Lu Ling's eyes.
"Congratulations, Lu Ling, your performance has been recognized by the master behind me!"
"That adult has decided to allow you to officially join our organization!"
Sikong Nan had no intention of beating around the bush and told Lu Ling directly why he was there.
Things are different now. With two or even three great masters at the Venerable Realm in charge, the underworld no longer needs to rely on the art of language to attract people.
Sure enough, it was right for me to turn a blind eye all along.
Or, it should be said that he was glad that he was weak.
Because he was afraid of the envoy's power at the Grand Master level, he chose to turn a blind eye after knowing that he was trying to win over his subordinates.
However, he didn't expect that the adult who asked him to build the Ghost Gate had been secretly testing his loyalty.
"Mr. Envoy, could you please tell me, Lu, what is the name of our organization?"
Lu Ling bowed respectfully to Sikong Nan again, his eyes full of anticipation.
He wanted to know who the man who asked him to build the Ghost Gate was.
"The Underworld!"
"The... the underworld?!!"
When Lu Ling heard Sikong Nan say the word "hell", he immediately exclaimed.
The most mysterious force in the world today is undoubtedly the underworld.
Apart from knowing that the people in the underworld dress very similarly to those in the Shura Palace, there is not much information about them.
There are two stories about the underworld that are circulating in the martial arts world. One is the Qianlong Secret Realm, and the other is the Tianshan Ceremony.
When the Qianlong secret realm was in progress, the underworld suddenly appeared. Five monstrous geniuses participated in the Qianlong ranking competition at the same time, shocking the entire arena.
Even the extremely cool appearance of the underworld made the black robe instantly popular throughout the Tianwu Continent.
Although the black robe incident was quickly suppressed, countless martial artists had the word "hell" imprinted in their hearts.
During the Tianshan Ceremony, the Underworld sent two powerful Venerable Realm masters to appear at the same time, allowing the forces of the entire continent to see the powerful foundation of the Underworld.
Because no one would believe that the two powerful Venerable Realm masters who appeared in Tianshan were all the powerful Venerable Realm masters in the underworld.
The underworld appeared twice in the Tianwu Continent, but both times brought great shock to the warriors of the Tianwu Continent.
Therefore, when Lu Ling heard that he was actually working for the underworld, he showed such a huge reaction.
"Master Envoy, is our organization really the most mysterious force in the martial arts world today, the Underworld?"
Lu Ling suppressed his inner excitement and couldn't help but confirm with Sikong Nan again.
After all, when the black robe incident was all the rage, he had also fantasized about whether he could one day join the underworld.
"Yes, it's the underworld!"
A smile appeared on Sikong Nan's lips. The more surprised others were about the existence of the underworld, the happier she felt in her heart.
“Bang!”
A token was thrown and fell into Lu Ling's hands.
"Eternal Night Sect, deputy sect leader?"
Looking at the large characters on the token in his hand, Lu Ling read them out loud.
"Yes, he is the deputy leader of the Eternal Night Sect."
"The existence of the Eternal Night Gate is similar to that of the Ghost Gate, but its existence is more secretive than that of the Ghost Gate."
"Ghost Gate is an open intelligence force, while Eternal Night Gate is a covert intelligence force."
"The Lord of the Mansion appointed me as the leader of the Eternal Night Sect, and you as the deputy leader."
Sikong Nan spoke slowly because she needed to observe how Lu Ling would react after hearing the news.
Although from her current interactions, Lu Ling has always been loyal and respectful to the mysterious "master".
