In the upper world, on the new Demon Peak, there was a palace several times larger than the Demon Palace in the lower world. Zhou Qiong was still sitting upright on the Demon Dragon Chair, and below him, kneeling on one knee were Di Yi, wearing a golden mask, and Xuan Yi, wearing a silver mask.
"Master, the area where my sect is located currently belongs to the Black King City in the Chaos Region. There are more than 200 cities like the Black King City in the Chaos Region, and the Black King City has jurisdiction over an area of one million miles. Each of the major cities is independent of each other, and the entire Chaos Region is much larger than the Cangwu Continent. There are also some dynasties and sects outside whose jurisdiction is even more boundless. Because it is too far away, I don't know it very clearly yet."
Zhou Qiong nodded calmly. The system had said before that the upper realm was infinitely large, and this situation was within his expectations.
"Tell me about the situation in Black King City!"
"Yes, the Lord of Black King City is called Mu Lao. It is said that he is a tree spirit who has cultivated to the True Martial Realm. He is the strongest person in the entire Black King City, but he is kind and never interferes in other people's affairs..."
"So now Black King City is jointly ruled by eight major forces, namely the Blue Rain Clan, the Red Fox Clan, the One-Eyed Clan, the Bull-Head Clan, the Sword Clan, the Great River Gang, the Ghost Clan, and the Flower Clan. Every ten years, the major forces exchange control of the city square, allowing the warriors who have ascended to help them work for free for a few years, and they will also absorb some good seedlings."
"Is there any other useful news?"
"According to the city guards, Elder Mu will celebrate his 3,000-year-old birthday in a month. The address will be the city lord's mansion, and a secret realm will be opened at the same time. I haven't heard the details yet!"
Zhou Qiong nodded, and the two slowly disappeared in the hall. He thought to himself that the Black King City must be taken over by Zhou Qiong within three years, so that the people of the Demon Cult in the lower world can ascend safely.
"Ding, the task is being generated: Participate in Mu Lao's birthday, obtain the qualification to enter the secret realm, successfully enter the secret realm, complete the upgrade of the host's cultivation by two small levels, 200,000 villain points, no penalty for failure, host, do you accept it?"
"Accept!" Although Zhou Qiong didn't understand how to obtain the qualification, he accepted it first and would know it naturally during his birthday celebration.
In the City Lord's Mansion, in a huge courtyard, an old farmer was fiddling with the vegetables on the ground, turning the soil and watering them from time to time. Next to him, a charming young girl in a bright red dress kept saying something, but the old man never looked up and kept fiddling with the vegetables.
“Oh, Mr. Mu, did you hear what I said?…” The fiery red girl stomped her feet in anger.
The old man raised his head and said helplessly, "I heard it. Aren't there just a lot of people flying up from the lower world? Why are you so excited?"
"Mr. Mu, there are thousands of people flying up at once, and the leader is said to be extremely ferocious. He beat up the one-eyed monster in Longchang right after he came up! He is probably still recovering from his injuries!"
"You little girl, don't you usually hate Longchang? How come you are not happy when someone helps you teach him a lesson?" The old man patted the dirt off his body helplessly!
"Oh, I'm just curious. Master Mu, you said your birthday is in two days. Will the leader of the evil cult come?"
"Why, our Miss Rose has grown up and is beginning to have sexual thoughts!"
"What are you talking about? I haven't even seen him. I'm just curious. Who in the entire Black King City isn't curious? Master Mu, what secrets do you think the lower world has that could produce such a great giant?"
"Okay, there are all kinds of things in this world. By the way, how is your cultivation going..." Mu Lao suddenly changed the subject;
"Ah..." The fiery red girl covered her ears, pretending not to listen, and ran away quickly.
——
Two days later, the City Lord's Mansion was filled with joy, and people were coming and going throughout the mansion. Today was the 3,000th birthday of Mu Lao, the master of Black King City.
Although Mu Lao never gets involved in anything, it cannot change the fact that he is the strongest person in Black King City. No one dares to disrespect him, and all the forces, big or small, within the jurisdiction of Black King City have come.
Two people at the door greeted the guests and shouted out the guests' names from time to time.
"Boss Qian of the Dajiang Gang is here!"
"Here comes the Blue Rain Clan leader!"
"Sword Sect's Shangguan Yun has arrived!"
"Red Fox Tribe—"
——
Inside the lobby, an old man was sitting on the upper seat. He was none other than Mu Lao, the master of Black King City. A young girl in red was pouring wine for the old man. There were four seats on each side, and seven of them were already occupied. They were none other than the leaders of the eight major forces in Black King City.
There are hundreds of scattered seats below, which are reserved for small forces or individual cultivators.
The two tree men at the door were still shouting loudly. Suddenly, three figures appeared in front of them. The leader was wearing a dragon robe and looked flamboyant and domineering. The two behind him, one had a delicate look and wore a red robe, and the other wore black clothes and a silver mask.
They were Zhou Qiong, Lian Sheng and Xuan Yi.
One of the tree people bowed to Zhou Qiong and said, "Did you bring your invitation?"
Zhou Qiong said calmly, "There is no invitation. I heard that the master of Black King City is celebrating his birthday today, so I came here to congratulate him. Isn't that okay?"
At the same time, Zhou Qiong's domineering aura pressed towards the two of them. Another tree man hurriedly said, "Okay, I don't know which faction you belong to, so we can inform you!"
"I am the leader of the Demon Cult." After saying this, Zhou Qiong did not wait for the two to report, and directly took Liansheng and Xuanyi into the mansion. The two tree people did not dare to stop them because of their power.
The leaders of the various forces were chatting inside. Qian Sihai pointed to an empty position opposite and said loudly, "I think we should evacuate this position. Longchang is currently recuperating in some corner and can't come at all!"
A man sitting opposite him, dressed in black and wearing a black cloth, looking eerie, slammed the table.
"I say, that Longchang is such a loser that he could be seriously injured by someone who just ascended from the lower realm. I think his One-Eyed Clan is not worthy of becoming one of the eight major forces in Black King City with us."
A woman wearing pink clothes and looking like a human but with a fox tail also said softly, "I think so too. Longchang's injuries are probably not going to heal properly. We can just give him to their tribe to replace him."
At this time, a young man was standing behind Qian Sihai, carrying a long sword on his back and wearing a ring on his right hand, which occasionally emitted blue light. He listened to the leaders of many forces talking about the leader of the Demon Cult. His face was very ugly and his eyes were full of disbelief. It was Zhao Li who disappeared in the Cangwu Continent.
"Old Fu, do you think that the leader of the Demon Cult has really reached the Eternal Realm? He was able to severely injure the One-Eyed Clan leader who was at the Eternal Eighth Realm with one strike?"
The ring emitted a faint light, and a few words appeared in Zhao Li's mind.
"His cultivation speed is indeed too fast, comparable to the princes and saints of some imperial dynasties and holy places, but he is not, unless he is the reincarnation of a great being!"
Zhao Li frowned when suddenly a loud shout came from outside.
"The leader of the Demon Cult has arrived!"
