This is a dark land, shrouded in clouds and covered with dead trees. There is always a vague black air lingering between the sky and the earth, the sun is dim, and the air is filled with whispers.
It is difficult to see living beings on the earth. Occasionally, a black-robed shadow appears and leaves quickly. The departure is so fast that there are bursts of sounds breaking through the air.
This lonely and monotonous scene always repeats itself on the dark land, day after day, year after year.
Until, one day.
A bloody halo suddenly cut through the gloomy sky and fell on this land.
From the bloody light, a figure slowly walked out. The figure's face was very blurry and could not be seen clearly. He was wearing a dark robe and his pale palms were exposed from the sleeves.
At the same time as the blood light fell to the ground, this dark place also trembled slightly, as if it was sensing something. In the dark depths, countless black shadows condensed, eventually forming a human-like shadow.
The man in dark robes stopped and stood there, watching the shadow form.
"Blood River King, I haven't seen you for a long time, but you are still so domineering..." Shadow took a step forward, and a loud voice came from his mouth. As his words came out, the whole land trembled slightly. .
"Your Excellency is here this time, but has the alliance leader issued an order?"
"The Shadow King is living a happy life, maybe he has forgotten our number one enemy?" A slight smile appeared on the corner of the Blood River King's mouth, which was neither humble nor arrogant.
"It has been 30,000 years since there has been a war between the heavens. I should concentrate on my cultivation so that I can protect our Shadow Clan." There was a hint of sarcasm in the Shadow Emperor's eyes, "Lest the next time there is a war, my clan, Being used as cannon fodder.”
"So, how can we talk about being free?"
"Haha." Blood River King raised his eyebrows, and there was no emotion or joy in his blood-colored eyes. He said calmly: "I came here this time to convey the order of the alliance leader. All races in the world can prepare for war. .”
"Oh? Could it be that you waited and found a way to break through the [Sealing Heaven Ancient Formation]?" Shadow Emperor was startled and asked softly.
"Then, I have no comment." The Blood River King smiled slightly, then cupped his hands and said, "Farewell."
Immediately, the Blood River King turned into a streak of blood light, broke through the clouds again, and disappeared directly as he came.
The Shadow King watched the bloody light leave, and the shadow palms were clenched tightly unconsciously: "Are you preparing for war? It can take at least ten years, or as many as fifty years. I'm afraid the disaster will be severe... ···”
······
boom--! Boom——!
Rays of lightning streaked across the sky, and the dazzling light illuminated the sea area in an instant. In the thick clouds, countless silver-white thunder and lightning danced happily inside. Looking down through the clouds, the entire sea area is dark in color. The sea water is surging, as if it is extremely heavy, and the color is like ink.
If someone with a deep sea phobia takes a few glances here, he may be so frightened that he faints on the spot. Where is the sea? This is clearly a dark abyss! The water is so black that even light cannot penetrate it. It is unimaginable that anyone can survive here.
On the sea, a storm will rise at this moment. It was windy and rainy, and huge waves beat against the sky. But under the sea, in a deep palace, it was very quiet. There is a thin film of light above the palace. It is this film of light that carries the immeasurable weight of the sea water above.
In the palace, there were beautiful maids in blue and black palace clothes standing on both sides of the road, bowing slightly with a respectful expression on their faces, as if they were waiting for the arrival of some big shot.
In the distance, I suddenly remembered the sound of footsteps. Immediately afterwards, two powerful male voices could be vaguely heard.
"Uncle Mu can accept the invitation and come here, it really makes my humble home full of glory!"
"No, my nephew's status is much higher than mine now. Just this place to stay, this luxury, this concealment, and the safety are all beyond my reach!"
As they got closer, they could see clearly that they were two people chatting. One was younger, wearing a black robe and a jade pendant. He had a handsome appearance and had a kind of demeanor when talking and laughing, which made people look at him. The other one was older. , but somewhat similar to this young man, but his eyes looked much smarter.
Behind the two of them, there were still some people, but those people did not dare to interrupt. They all lowered their heads and followed the two of them silently.
When he reached the palace gate, the young man stopped, raised his hands to the old man and said, "Uncle Mu, please go first."
"Oh! Okay, okay, nephew, don't be polite, we are all family members." The old man, with a smile on his face, stepped into the splendid hall one step ahead of the young man.
"Tsk, tsk, this is the finest Millennium Night Pearl. I don't know how many people are rushing to grab it in the imperial city. Oh, this chair is made of purple spirit wood. Sitting on it for a long time has the effect of concentrating your mind and boosting your energy. Oops, this······"
As soon as he entered the palace, the old man was attracted by the luxurious interior of the palace. He glanced at each item and kept saying "tsk tsk" in admiration.
"It's just some small items. If Uncle Mu likes it, I'll send someone to give you a few later." The young man followed the elder and said with a smile: "Why don't we talk about business first?"
After the old man sighed in admiration for a long time, his eyes returned to the young man and said with some sigh: "With the current status of my nephew, he still needs the help of this useless uncle like me. Forget it, just let me listen. Just say what you want to say.”
"Uncle Mu, please sit down first." The young man waved to two chairs. After the two of them sat down and the maid filled their glasses with wine, he continued: "Uncle Mu is now in the imperial city. Is he the owner of a pavilion?"
"Yes, I am the master of Yong'an Pavilion." Speaking of this, the old man felt a little more proud. There are ten pavilions in four districts in the imperial city, and it must be very extraordinary to be the master of one of them.
"I wonder if Uncle Mu has any ideas about expanding his power." The young man played with the wine glass in his hand and smiled slightly.
"Your Uncle Mu and I, the strength of the Five Heaven Realm, can only be regarded as ordinary in the imperial city. I'm afraid it will be difficult to expand our power..." The old man stared at the clear wine in the wine glass and said .
"I have some pills here that can help Uncle Mu greatly increase his cultivation. I also have some manpower, so Uncle Mu can use them as well." The young man still smiled.
The old man's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at the young man seriously. After a moment, he sighed softly: "Tell me, what do you want to do?" He could feel that his nephew, he had become more and more mature. It’s so elusive.
"What Uncle Mu wants to do for me is to weaken the Lin family as much as possible." The young man laughed, drank the wine in the glass, and said softly.
"The Lin family? That is one of the four major families in the imperial capital. I am afraid it will be difficult to shake them with my own strength. What's more, the royal family has become very close to the Lin family in recent years. Offending the Lin family is equivalent to offending the royal family... "..." The old man looked at the young man with a troubled expression on his face.
"Uncle Mu doesn't need to worry. The royal family has people to check it. Uncle Mu just needs to concentrate on dealing with the Lin family and constantly weaken them. Of course, if they can be eliminated, that would be great..." The young man said There seemed to be a sick smile on his face.
"Well, I have to agree to get on your pirate ship." The old man sighed, and then continued: "With the status of the power behind you, why do you suddenly fall in love with the Lin family? They can't do it easily if they take action personally. Did it achieve its goal?”
"Uncle Mu, there are unwritten rules among the various forces. Those who are the most powerful are not allowed to die in person, so naturally we have to do the work. And what we want for this trip are things from the Lin family's ancestral land... ····”
"In that case, we look forward to happy cooperation." An old smile appeared on the old man's face, he raised his glass, clinked it with the young man, and drank it down.
But at the end, the young man looked towards the southwest, his gaze became particularly sharp, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but slightly raise.
"The God of Hades is immortal through the ages, and our clan will be prosperous for eternity..."
