The stars were sparse and the moon was bright.

Inside a luxurious room in the City Lord's mansion, a middle-aged man stood respectfully before a white-haired elder.

"Elder Yan, I've investigated. The young woman with Xuanhuang energy is currently in the Pure Yang Pavilion."

The middle-aged man wore a slight smile, quite pleased with himself.

However, the white-haired elder glared at him and said in a deep voice, "Who told you to investigate that girl? Are you tired of living? Don't you think about it? Since ancient times, besides those with powerful figures backing them, who can obtain Emperor-grade materials at the mere Transcendent Realm? Are you a spy sent by our Yin Yang Sect's opponents, trying to harm us?"

The middle-aged man was stunned. He had served Elder Yan for two hundred years, and this was the first time he had been scolded so harshly. Just as he was about to explain, Elder Yan continued speaking.

"If you want to be a villain, you have to see if you have enough strength. Wanting to be a villain without enough strength? That's courting death. Don't meddle in things you shouldn't. Focus on cultivating your own path."

Elder Yan glared and drove the middle-aged man out with his scolding.

After the middle-aged man left, Elder Yan paced back and forth in the room, still feeling uneasy. He summoned the City Lord of Demon Suppression City.

"Elder Yan, what do you need from this disciple?" the City Lord asked respectfully. Although he and Elder Yan were both in the Life and Death Realm, Elder Yan was his senior uncle and had always favored him, so he was very respectful.

"I called you here for something else. You told me before that Young Master Nine Swords, Li Beifei, and that Miss Honghong are both disciples of the Pure Yang Pavilion's behind-the-scenes boss, and they gave their slots to others, right?"

Elder Yan asked.

The City Lord of Demon Suppression City nodded and said, "That is indeed the case."

After receiving the reply, Elder Yan pondered for a moment and said, "In that case, give me the information of those two lucky ones. After I return, I will suggest to the sect leader that we cultivate them well."

"Elder Yan, has something happened?" The City Lord of Demon Suppression City sensed something was wrong and asked.

Seeing this, Elder Yan did not hide anything and told him about his subordinate's investigation into Honghong.

Upon hearing this, the City Lord of Demon Suppression City's face turned pale, and a trace of his aura leaked out, causing Elder Yan's expression to change.

"You've broken through to the Life and Death Realm?" Elder Yan asked in surprise.

The City Lord of Demon Suppression City nodded.

"Then I must congratulate you. If your master knew, he would be very happy in heaven," Elder Yan said with a smile.

But the City Lord of Demon Suppression City did not look happy at all, but said with a bitter face, "Senior Uncle Yan, you've caused a great disaster this time."

This time, he did not call him Elder Yan, but used a more affectionate term.

"What do you mean?"

Elder Yan realized something was wrong and quickly asked.

"That Miss Honghong's master is very, very, very terrifying..."

The City Lord of Demon Suppression City told him about Gu Changsheng coming to him for invitation letters that day.

"The reason why this disciple was able to break through to the Life and Death Realm was because that great figure gave me a bottle of Life and Death Breakthrough Pills."

After hearing this, Elder Yan's old face suddenly turned extremely pale. He was furious and his hair stood on end.

"Damn it, Xiao Chenzi, you're trying to harm my Yin Yang Sect."

Saying that, Elder Yan walked out of the room, and then a pig-like scream came from outside.

Soon, Elder Yan walked in with the middle-aged man from before. The middle-aged man was covered in bruises, and even his head was swollen like a pig's head, even worse than Li Beifei.

Elder Yan threw the pretending-to-be-dead Xiao Chenzi on the ground and said, "Tell me, what should we do now?"

The City Lord of Demon Suppression City pondered for a moment and said, "That great figure is not an unreasonable person. On the contrary, in this disciple's opinion, that great figure is a very generous person. A small invitation letter, which can be bought with a little source crystal, he was willing to exchange it with this disciple for Life and Death Breakthrough Pills. I think, as long as we go to his door to apologize in time, I think the great figure will not blame us."

After listening to the City Lord of Demon Suppression City's analysis, Elder Yan nodded, "What you said makes sense. Alright, I will now take this good-for-nothing to apologize."

After saying that, Elder Yan was about to take Xiao Chenzi to the Pure Yang Pavilion to apologize to Gu Changsheng, but he was stopped by the City Lord.

"Why are you stopping me?" Elder Yan asked in confusion.

The City Lord said with a bitter smile, "Senior Uncle Yan, don't you see what time it is now? Is it appropriate?"

Elder Yan was stunned, glanced at the dark sky outside, and suddenly understood.

"I was too anxious."

The City Lord did not laugh at him. Anyone who knew they had offended such a big shot would be so anxious that they couldn't find north.

After the two discussed, they agreed to go to the Pure Yang Pavilion to apologize tomorrow.

...

Pure Yang Pavilion, Gu Changsheng sat in the room drinking wine.

He felt the fluctuation of heaven and earth spiritual energy in Honghong's room, and a look of relief appeared on his face.

"As expected of my chief disciple."

But the next moment, a cold light flashed in Gu Changsheng's eyes.

As Honghong's protector, Su Wanqing naturally had to protect Honghong at all times as she was about to break through.

At this time, Su Wanqing was sitting cross-legged at the door of Honghong's room. Suddenly, she felt a subtle fluctuation in the surrounding space.

Just then, she felt a shocking killing intent pierce through the layers of void towards Honghong in the room.

"Not good!"

Su Wanqing's figure flashed and she entered Honghong's room, then she slapped the void with her palm.

"Puchi ~"

A mouthful of blood spurted out of the void, followed by a black shadow falling out of the void, holding a dagger that exuded a cold light in his hand.

Su Wanqing was afraid that her attack would interfere with Honghong's breakthrough, so she only seriously injured the assassin and did not take his life.

Su Wanqing captured the assassin and threw him on the ground, coldly asking, "Who are you?"

But the assassin did not answer Su Wanqing's words, but looked at Su Wanqing with disbelief.

"How is it possible? How could you have discovered me?"

Hearing this, Su Wanqing smiled coldly. If she had still been in her three-tailed state, she would not have been able to detect this trace of spatial fluctuation.

"Speak, who are you? Why did you come to assassinate the little master?"

Su Wanqing's face was frosty, and her heart was also full of fear. Fortunately, she discovered it in time, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.

But the assassin had no awareness of being a prisoner, he sneered: "Kill me, a member of Nine Nether, you just wait to be hunted down to death by Nine Nether!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the assassin's eyes darkened, and the breath of life quietly disappeared.

Su Wanqing was shocked when she heard his words.

Nine Nether, not the legendary Nine Nether Hell, but a killer organization that has existed since ancient times. From the Awakening Realm to the Quasi-Emperor Realm, they have been assassinated by Nine Nether, which has created the notorious reputation of Nine Nether. Even the Immortal Holy Land and the Desolate Ancient Family must treat this name with caution.

Nine Nether is ruthless to outsiders, and even more ruthless to their own people. As long as the mission fails, no matter what the reason, the failed assassin will commit suicide.

Looking at the Nine Nether assassin who had no breath of life, Su Wanqing couldn't help but feel a trace of worry in her heart.

"What are you afraid of?"

At this time, Gu Changsheng walked out slowly with a wine pot.

"Master, this is Nine Nether..."

Su Wanqing wanted Gu Changsheng to realize the seriousness of the matter. As long as the target is targeted by Nine Nether, it will be an endless chase.

But she stopped before she finished speaking. It seemed that her master was even stronger.

"A mere Nine Nether dares to assassinate my precious disciple. Very well, you guard her well, I'll go out for a while."

After speaking, Gu Changsheng left.
