Darkness Hall Festival

The Darkness City is located in the center of the Northern Xuan Region. This area is arguably the most famous place in the Northern Xuan Region, after all, the headquarters of the Northern Xuan Region's overlord, the Darkness Hall, is located here.

If the various branch halls of the Darkness Hall are like regional governors, then the Darkness City is undoubtedly the central Wang City of the Northern Xuan Region, the central hub that commands the Northern Xuan Region.

Even in normal times, Darkness City is bustling with activity and traffic. Now, with the Darkness Hall holding its triennial festival, Darkness City is even more lively and bustling with people.

Perhaps due to the festival, the gates of the Darkness City have been under stricter inspection in recent days, and even the captain of the gate guards has the strength of the Life Profound Stage.

Fortunately, Lin Langtian managed to infiltrate the Blazing Fire Mercenary Group, and under Kalon's cover, Lin Langtian successfully entered the Darkness City as a mercenary of the Blazing Fire Mercenary Group.

Upon entering the Darkness City, Lin Langtian once again experienced the charm of this city. He saw that the wide streets were lined with all kinds of shops selling a wide variety of goods, and even some high-level Spirit Treasure and Demon Crystal could be seen everywhere.

Moreover, after walking just a few hundred meters down a street, Lin Langtian secretly sensed the powerful auras of no less than a dozen people.

These auras have all reached at least the Life Profound Stage, and some have even reached the powerful level of the Death Profound Stage.

"As expected of the Darkness City, the headquarters of the Darkness Hall..." Lin Langtian murmured with emotion upon seeing this.

It should be noted that those at the Life Profound Stage can hold high-ranking positions such as department head or Hall Master in the Eight Great Super Sects of the Eastern Xuan Region. However, in this Darkness City, Life Profound Stage experts are commonplace and easily found.

"Hehe, Young Master Langtian, you must be quite surprised to come to Darkness City for the first time. When I first came to Darkness City, I was even more shocked than Young Master Langtian. I was like a country bumpkin."

Seeing Lin Langtian's surprised expression, Kalon chuckled as he revealed his secret.

Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian smiled faintly and said, "Indeed, I did not expect the Darkness City to be so prosperous and magnificent. In my opinion, even on the entire continent, the Darkness City is enough to rank among the top."

"I haven't been to other places, but the number one city in the Northern Xuan Region is none other than the Darkness City beneath our feet," Kalon said as he walked.

As they walked and talked, Kalon's steps slowed down, and his gaze swept over a luxurious hotel called ' Linsuo Flower Garden ' on the side of the street. He said to Lin Langtian, "The festival will start in two days. Shall we rest here for a while?"

"Yes, that's fine," Lin Langtian nodded.

The group entered the luxurious hotel and glanced around. They were slightly surprised to find that there were quite a few people sitting in the hotel lobby.

After listening intently to their conversation, Lin Langtian realized that these people were all from out of town who had come to participate in the Darkness Hall Festival.

Lin Langtian glanced at them and realized that these people weren't very strong. The strongest among them was only at the Life Profound Stage Great Success. They were probably just like the Blazing Fire Mercenary Group, some of the smaller peripheral forces participating in the festival.

Of course, truly powerful forces probably wouldn't stay in this mixed-up inn. The Darkness Hall would definitely have rooms specifically for its guests, but smaller forces like the Blazing Fire Mercenary Group simply don't have that privilege.

Shaking his head, Lin Langtian spoke briefly with Kalon before returning to his room.

After several days of travel, Lin Langtian wanted to take a good rest. After all, he had traveled a long way from the Eastern Xuan Region to the Northern Xuan Region. Even if his body could withstand it, his mind was somewhat tired. He could take this opportunity to rest.

"Langtian, are you sure you can obtain the Life-Death Reincarnation Pill from the Darkness Hall?"

As soon as he sat down on the bed, Spirit Aunt's voice rang in Lin Langtian's mind.

Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian shook his head and said, "I'm not sure either, but the Darkness Hall is an extremely long-standing force on the continent. Even if Eight Great Super Sects of the Eastern Xuan Region were combined, they probably wouldn't be a match for the Darkness Hall. Therefore, the Darkness Hall has a very high probability of possessing the Life-Death Reincarnation Pill."

"If we can truly obtain the Life-Death Reincarnation Pill, then we can attempt to revive Zhou Tong, a Samsara Stage Space Ancestral Talisman. I'm very much looking forward to having this extremely powerful comrade-in-arms."

On the Heavenly Profound Continent, whether it was Mo Luo, who possessed the Flame Ancestral Symbol, or Bo Xuan, who possessed the Dark Ancestral Symbol, although they were both experts in the Samsara Stage, their combat strength was comparable to some peak experts in the Reincarnation Stage.

With Zhou Tong's talent, his mastery of Space Ancestral Talisman is no less than that of Mo Luo and Bo Xuan, and his combat strength is also considerable.

"Yes, although Zhou Tong's Nascent Soul suffered severe damage, if he can truly recover his physical body, his strength will not be underestimated."

"However, Langtian, you went to such great lengths to revive Zhou Tong, win over Dugu Qi, and build your own faction and power base. It can't be just to fight against the Yuan Sect, can it?" Spirit Aunt said.

"Hehe, as expected, nothing can be hidden from you, Spirit Aunt." Lin Langtian chuckled and shook his head, then narrowed his eyes slightly and said.

"Spirit Aunt is right. The reason I want to create my own power is only partly to fight against the Yuan Sect. The main reason is that I want to have enough power in my hands."

Before parting ways with Jin Wu, although he didn't say anything to me, I knew that Jin Wu must have encountered some trouble, and this trouble must involve many powerful people. I didn't want Jin Wu to come to me, his older brother, for help, only to be powerless to do anything but watch from the sidelines.

Therefore, I want to establish a force even more powerful than the Yuan Sect. Then, even if the entire Seven Fiend Black Gold Crow Clan opposes the Jin Wu, I will have the ability to suppress this Royal Beast clan entirely!

Although he didn't know what kind of predicament Jin Wu's parents were in, through the few words exchanged in the Abyssal Demon City, Lin Langtian vaguely guessed that Jin Wu's situation in the Seven Fiend Black Gold Crow Clan was not good. If it weren't for the bloodline of the Nine Fiend Black Gold Crow, Jin Wu would probably be unable to move an inch at this moment.

As Jin Wu's elder brother, Lin Langtian had long regarded Jin Wu as his own family, so he would never allow Jin Wu to stand idly by when he was in trouble.

"Hehe, Jin Wu is truly blessed to have a brother like you." Spirit Aunt smiled, Lin Langtian's loyalty and righteousness were undoubtedly what she admired most.

"Of course, another reason for establishing my power is for you, Spirit Aunt. I promised Spirit Aunt that I would obtain a drop of the Blood Essence of a royal beast of the Kunpeng Race for you. When my power grows stronger, I will go directly to the Kunpeng Race to ask for it. If they refuse, then we will fight them." Lin Langtian said with a faint smile.

"You brat, the Kunpeng Race is one of the Four Hegemon Clans of the Beast Domain. Their power is much stronger than that of the Yuan Sect. It won't be so easy to force them to hand over their Blood Essence." Hearing Lin Langtian's words, Spirit Aunt felt a little warm inside, but she still reminded him.

"Where there's a will, there's a way. Don't worry, Spirit Aunt. Although the Kunpeng Race is strong, one day, the forces under my command will be stronger than the Kunpeng Race." Lin Langtian smiled faintly and said confidently.

Not to mention the Heavenly Profound Continent, even in the Great Thousand World, he will create a top-tier force with a prestigious reputation!

"Then I wish you good luck..." As if she could see through Lin Langtian's burning ambition, Spirit Aunt was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and offered her blessings.

She was also very much looking forward to seeing what kind of powerful force this young man from a remote dynasty in Lower Plane would establish...

For the next two days, Lin Langtian stayed in his room to rest. During this time, Ling Zhi shyly tried to invite Lin Langtian to wander around the Darkness City, but Lin Langtian politely declined.

Lin Langtian seemed to have some idea about the little girl's shy thoughts, but he just smiled and shook his head.

It wasn't that Ling Zhi wasn't beautiful, but after meeting Ling Qingzhu, most women in the world paled in comparison to him.

Perhaps this is what is meant by "meeting Ling Qingzhu and being doomed for life." And the reason why Lin Langtian wanted to create a powerful force was actually for Ling Qingzhu.

Even if the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace n't agree to his relationship with Ling Qingzhu, he can simply use his power to pressure them and force them to back down.

Two days passed by in this way, and on the morning of the third day, Kalon knocked on Lin Langtian's door.

"Young Master Langtian, the Darkness Hall's festival is about to begin. Let's pack up and set off," Kalon said with a smile as he looked at Lin Langtian, who had opened the door.

"Well, I don't have much to pack, let's just get going."

Lin Langtian stretched and glanced at Ling Zhi, who was in a bad mood because he had politely refused him, and chuckled.

"Okay, Blazing Fire Mercenary Group, assemble, let's go." Kalon nodded slightly, then turned around, waved, and said.

After gathering, the group headed towards the very center of the Darkness City, the Darkness Plaza, where the festival was to be held.

At the very center of the enormous Darkness City lies a vast black stone plaza that stretches to almost no end, upon which countless Black Stone Pillar stand upright.

The Black Stone Pillar are covered with inscriptions, inscribed with the names of those who made great contributions to the Darkness Hall Darkness Hall and were among its most outstanding members.

This square, called Darkness Plaza, is a key location in the Darkness City, and it is only opened to the public when festivals begin.

Those who are able to enter this place are all powerful figures in the Northern Xuan Region. Of course, their so-called power is bestowed upon them by the Darkness Hall.

With the help of the Blazing Fire Mercenary Group's invitation, Lin Langtian, along with Kalon and the others, infiltrated the heavily guarded Darkness Plaza, a place so tightly defended that even experts at the Samsara Stage couldn't force their way in.

However, given the current strength of the Blazing Fire Mercenary Group, the place they were assigned to was undoubtedly a very remote area of Darkness Plaza. Although Kalon was somewhat embarrassed by this, Lin Langtian did not care at all.

As long as I can find Qing Tan here, that's fine; as for the rest, it doesn't matter.

Thinking of this, Lin Langtian couldn't help but scan his surroundings, and in the center of the square at the very front, Lin Langtian sensed a number of powerful auras.

Some of them possessed an aura that was even comparable to that of Tian Yuanzi and the other two, clearly indicating that they had also reached the Samsara Stage Realm.

"This is the true strength of the Darkness Hall. If it weren't for the secret support of the Evil Demon, the Yuan Sect would be nothing but trash compared to the Darkness Hall," Lin Langtian said, curling his lip.

Putting aside everything else, just consider the two old monsters in the Reincarnation Stage hidden in the Darkness Hall and Bo Xuan, who possesses the Dark Ancestral Symbol. They are comparable to three Reincarnation Stage experts, while the three Samsara Stage experts of the Yuan Sect are simply a joke. And yet they still dare to offend the Heavenly Demon Marten Race without knowing their own mortality.

Who gave Tian Yuanzi and the other two the courage? The Evil Demon?

Shaking his head, just as Lin Langtian finished observing and was about to close his eyes to rest, a resounding bell suddenly rang out in the Darkness Plaza. Faced with this bell sound carrying special Yuan energy fluctuations, Lin Langtian's heart couldn't help but tighten, as if his entire body had been spied on.

"Pure Origin Treasure..." Lin Langtian said with a solemn expression, noticing this strange feeling.

This Darkness Hall was indeed extremely domineering, immediately showing off its Pure Origin Treasure.

At the same time, as the bell rang, the once noisy Darkness Plaza fell silent instantly, as if by telepathy. The expressions of Kalon and the others beside Lin Langtian were even more solemn and awe-inspiring.

Seeing this, Lin Langtian's eyes flickered slightly. He knew that the Darkness Hall's ceremony was about to begin, and the important figures of the Darkness Hall were about to make their appearance.

Thinking of this, Lin Langtian felt elated. If he wasn't mistaken, he would soon be able to see Qing Tan.

Back in the Abyssal Demon Domain Realm, Lin Langtian didn't have a chance to talk to Qing Tan because she was always with Lin Dong. Now that he has traveled thousands of miles to the Northern Xuan Region, he finally has the opportunity to meet his younger sister.

It's worth noting that during their time at the Lin Clan's main family, although Lin Langtian and Qing Tan's relationship wasn't as close as hers with Lin Dong, they still got along very well.

The two are about to meet again in a foreign land far away from the Great Yan Dynasty, which will surely be a heartwarming and touching scene...

As Lin Langtian reminisced about his time with Qing Tan, the Darkness Plaza was filled with a vast, seemingly endless sea of people. Yet, despite the terrifying number of people gathered there, the area remained eerily quiet.

No one dared to utter a sound, and countless eyes, filled with fear, gazed toward the very center of the square.

There stood a Black Altar with Ten-Thousand-Step Stone Stairway leading up to it. At the very top of the steps was a black throne, from which one could overlook the entire Darkness Plaza. That position seemed to be the throne of the ruler of the Northern Xuan Region.

At this moment, on the altar throne, accompanied by a spatial fluctuation, a gaunt old man dressed in a black robe and wearing a black crown slowly emerged.

Upon seeing the old man, countless people in the Darkness Plaza, including those at the Samsara Stage Realm, bowed in respect.

Because this person is Bo Xuan, the Hall Master of the Darkness Hall, the ruler of the Northern Xuan Region, and the uncrowned king.

However, while everyone looked at Bo Xuan with awe, Lin Langtian's gaze was fixed on the slender figure beside the old man, and he murmured.

"Qing Tan ..."
