The crowd was stunned by the revelation.
A peak Great Cultivator, a formidable figure with five consecutive victories at the Sixth Layer of Tianxia Building, could easily kill them as if slaughtering a chicken, and yet... even if ten or eight of them joined forces, they couldn't withstand a casual blow from such a person?
What kind of terrifying Daoist power was this?
It was unimaginable.
"In any case, you can regard this person as truly invincible beneath a Saint-level cultivator."
The black-robed man said in a deep voice, "Rember, if you discover any objects of suspicion, you must report it as soon as possible, even if it's just a possibility, you may report it to . There's no need to worry about trouble."
While shocked, everyone understood Eternal Night Mountain's regard for this prince.
Even if soone was rely suspected, should they not be let go?
"By the way, Your Excellency."
Suddenly, Lady Nine Yin said, "Not long ago, a guest arrived at Yin Ji's Sumr Tavern. Is it possible this person was guided here by Your Excellency?"
"A guest?" The black-robed man frowned slightly and said, "Apart from you twelve, is there anyone else in this inn?"
Lady Nine Yin was montarily stunned.
Even soone with such Daoist prowess and realm as His Excellency didn't detect the person's presence?
Feeling a bit uneasy, she quickly said, "That person is upstairs right now. We don't know her identity, she only carries a child. Once she concealed her aura, we thought she was a mortal, but able to enter this place, we also thought she was guided here by an internal mber of Eternal Night Mountain..."
"Guided? For soone whose prowess even I can't detect, she needs to co here?"
The black-robed man knitted his brows tightly and unhesitatingly produced the Eternal Night Order, injecting a strand of Divine Thought into it.
Subsequently, several slender silver chains appeared on the surface of his body, moving and converging like spiritual snakes, rapidly forming an ornate chainmail——
"Boom!"
Astonishing aura emanated instantly, rendering those present pale-faced.
"Heavenly Mourning Demon Armor? Your Excellency, are you..."
Lady Nine Yin looked in surprise at His Excellency, who seed ready to confront an enemy, becoming sowhat nervous.
Such a top-tier secret technique of the Demon Path, combined excellently with Heavenly Demon Body Refinent, was a fearso power that only true masters of the Demon Path could cultivate. So why was it being used now?
"The Heavenly Strategy Envoy of Xiahong's Heaven Patrol Alliance and the operative of the Ancestor Hall are also investigating our Eternal Night Mountain."
The black-robed man swept his eyes over everyone with icy gaze, transmitting with Divine Thought, "I didn't hear of a thirteenth person when eting you this ti. Could it be... that soone among you has revealed your whereabouts, attracting this person?"
"This..."
"Your Excellency, I am already endlessly grateful to be accepted by Eternal Night Mountain. How could I have inford on you to Xiahong?"
"Your Excellency, I could swear a Heart Demon oath, I absolutely haven't betrayed you."
"My Lord..."
The Great Cultivators hurriedly explained to prove themselves.
"I'm only speculating," the black-robed man's face remained calm, saying indifferently, "To be cautious, I have already sent a ssage to Peak Master Yama. Once he arrives, we will naturally understand."
Lady Nine Yin was surprised for a mont.
You've already sent a ssage to our Master?
You haven't even t the person yet, and you're already summoning a Saint-level cultivator?
Isn't that being too cautious?
The black-robed man did not pay attention to her.
Currently, it's a special period, and the cultivation resources released by Eternal Night Mountain are nurous, especially the treasures provided to the Peak Masters, which constitute the major portion. This enables each Peak Master to have enough treasures to develop powerful avatars.
Therefore, once there's suspicion of the Heavenly Strategy Envoy or an operative from the Ancestor Hall from Xiahong, notifying the Peak Master to descend with an avatar is understandable.
After all, the highest-level Heavenly Strategy Envoy of the patrol league, and the operative from the Ancestor Hall, each are formidable figures at the Seventh Layer of Tianxia Building.
For such rare powerhouses, even capturing one, if only suppressed and then sent to Eternal Night, would be a great rit for Eternal Night Mountain!
As long as the avatar of a Saint-level cultivator descends, what are the Heavenly Strategy Patrol Envoys and the operatives from the Ancestor Hall?
After preparing thoroughly, the black-robed man finally settled his mind, looked towards the second floor of the tavern, and with Mana spreading his voice like rolling thunder, he said, "Who are you? Having dared to enter, you shouldn't just hide away like this, right?"
As he spoke, he suddenly stamped his foot on the ground.
An invisible ripple spread out, and a slender silver chain from the black-robed man's silver chain armor imdiately followed his foot, probing out like a spiritual snake and quickly moving upstairs.
If the opposite wasn't a strong person like a Heavenly Strategy Envoy from the Heaven patrol league or an operative from the Ancestor Hall, his Heavenly Mourning Chain would already be sufficient to seal most Great Cultivators.
Moreover, this Sumr Tavern was one of the Eternal Night Mountain's locations established by Peak Master Yama, protected by a Saint-level Barrier; having the fight here was most appropriate.
"Swish, swish, swish—"
The silver chains moved like lightning and instantly found a room upstairs shielded by a Barrier.
"What a clever Barrier."
The black-robed man praised once, and stamped his foot again. Three more slender silver chains shot out like lightning, simultaneously probing toward that room upstairs, attempting to break through the Barrier.
It was at this mont——
"Courting trouble?"
A lazy immature child's voice suddenly sounded.
In the next mont, the black-robed man felt a terrifying power erupt as his Heavenly Mourning Chains touched the Barrier.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
His Heavenly Mourning Chains, refined over many years with the quintessence of various treasures, shattered into dust at that mont.
"Hmm?" The black-robed man's already pale face turned even paler.
However, he suddenly burst into laughter, his delighted voice instantly echoing in the entire tavern:
"Hahaha... I only intended to test it, and I really caught a big fish? Are you Xiahong's Heavenly Strategy Envoy, or an operative from the Ancestor Hall?"
Discovering such a figure, for him, was also a significant rit!
Eternal Night Mountain, and Sumr, the Ancestor Hall, they were natural adversaries, Sumr and the Ancestor Hall desired to kill mbers of Eternal Night Mountain, and vice versa.
Eat or be eaten, it was but a matter of who was stronger.
"Xiahong? Ancestor Hall?"
That immature child's voice ca again from upstairs: "Consider both, but do you think soone with your power can capture ?"
The black-robed man's whole body moved with chains, yet he chuckled and said, "Of course not, but rather..."
"Boom!"
A terrifying aura suddenly spread.
Countless jets of black airflow congealed out of thin air everywhere in the tavern, masses of light erged, forming a figure shrouded in endless crimson ominous light within the barrier.
This figure emanated appalling pressure, donning a crimson robe bright as blood, exuding boundless murderous energy.
The features were unrecognizable, a deliberate confluence of boundless power, evidently an avatar.
"Master!"
Lady Nine Yin imdiately recognized this aura, respectfully kneeling down.
The Saint-level master of the Demon Path, Yama Lord.
"Zha Xi."
After Yama Lord's avatar descended, those eyes glinting with crimson light looked once at the black-robed man and said indifferently, "I heard you detected a suspect who might be Xiahong's Heavenly Strategy Envoy or an operative from the Ancestor Hall?"
The black-robed man imdiately smiled and respectfully said, "Yes, Peak Master Yama, the person is upstairs."
Yama Lord's avatar nodded slightly and said coolly, "You shall share in the rit."
At that mont——
"Tsk, so the Yama Lord of the Demon Path is also a mber of Eternal Night Mountain..."
Suddenly, a voice arose from upstairs.
The voice was peculiar; starting as an immature infantile tone, then subtly shifting into a young man's voice.
"Hmm?"
Yama Lord looked upstairs, hearing footsteps approaching.
He could sense, upstairs, a clear pinnacle Great Cultivator aura, only...
In the next mont, a young man in white robes appeared at the top of the stairs, smiling calmly at the crowd below.
"Yama Lord's avatar? That's not bad."
