Cold and Glamorous Tribunal Chief

Little Marten and Little Flame returned to the Demon Domain together.

Lin Dong then set off for the Northern Xuan Region.

Firstly, following his parents' wishes, he brought Qing Tan home so that she could reunite with her parents.

Secondly, while several other Ancient Masters have emerged one after another, the Master of Thunder, who is sleeping in the Northern Xuan Region, has not yet come out, and Lin Dong needs to go and check the situation.

Northern Xuan Region, the Darkness City.

As the main hall and core of power of the Darkness Palace, Darkness City is large enough to accommodate tens of millions of people at the same time. It also gathers the essence of the overlord of the Northern Xuan Region. On the surface, there are more than twenty Samsara Stage experts who guard this place year-round.

On a towering pavilion in the center of the city.

A tall, beautiful woman in a black dress is leaning on the railing, gazing at the distant horizon, her eyes filled with longing.

Behind them were figures shrouded in black robes and wearing Ghost Face Mask. They held Black Longsword, exuded a strong aura of malevolence, and had indifferent and cold eyes, guarding the place like statues.

The Darkness Tribunal, a colossal and bloodthirsty institution in the Northern Xuan Region that suppresses all dissent, is so infamous that it strikes fear into the hearts of countless powerful figures in the Northern Xuan Region.

The Darkness Goddess before us has grown from an ordinary member to the new chief Tribunal Chief of the Darkness Tribunal in just two years.

It is said that after the Great Hall Master of Darkness Palace Bo Xuan, officially stepped into the Reincarnation Stage Realm, he bestowed upon her two Sacred Object passed down through generations of temple Hall Master — the Darkness Ancestral Symbol and the Darkness Sacred Scythe. This Young Palace Master is already the undisputed next Hall Master of the Darkness Palace, just waiting for the moment she steps into the Reincarnation Stage.

It could be said that she was the faith of these Darkness Tribunal Army!

"Qing Tan, it's been a long time."

As the chuckle faded, a tall, slender figure appeared out of nowhere.

"Brother Lin Dong, Qing Tan has been waiting for you for so long!"

Before the Darkness Tribunal Army, whose bodies had suddenly tensed, could launch an attack, the beautiful woman in the black robe, like a swallow returning to its nest, gracefully and nimbly plunged into the arms of the newcomer.

"The Tribunal Chief..."

The Darkness Tribunal Army was stunned, a profound sense of absurdity welling up within them.

Is this delicate, girl-next-door type still the cold, elegant, and ruthless goddess they've always known? Where has that aloof and powerful Tribunal Chief gone?!

"It's been three years, and Qing Tan has grown up quite a bit."

Looking at the mature, aloof, and tall beauty before him, Lin Dong couldn't help but feel a surge of emotions. The snotty-nosed child who used to follow him around had become a mature commander leading a vast army.

"Brother Lin Dong ~"

Qing Tan seemed unhappy that Lin Dong pushed her away, so she stomped her jade foot charmingly and tried to throw her curvaceous body into his arms again.

"Alright, alright, you're like a child who never grows up. If you keep hugging her, how will you maintain your authority in front of your subordinates?"

Lin Dong gestured to the referees behind him who were already stunned.

"Hmph, they dare?"

The slender figure adjusted her long black dress with dark gold patterns along the edges, gave a displeased snort, and the elegant goddess was back.

Upon hearing this, many members of the Darkness Tribunal Army felt a chill run down their spines and instinctively straightened their bodies even more. Anyone who dared to defy the might of the Tribunal Chief was already dead.

"Brother Lin Dong, come on, I'll take you to see the teacher."

Qing Tan grabbed Lin Dong's large hand and eagerly rushed downwards.

The ancient palace complex is heavily fortified.

Led by the Young Palace Master Qing Tan, Lin Dong encountered wave after wave of elite experts who seemed endless, and they all bowed respectfully to the two of them.

Finally, the two stopped in front of a towering, Majestic Ancient Hall, where a tall, handsome man of about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old was already waiting.

"Brother Chen Kui, where did your Ghost Face Mask go?"

Lin Dong greeted the handsome man with a familiar air.

"When I went to the Eastern Xuan Region for training, I was afraid that the Super Sect of the Eastern Xuan Region would find out about my sensitive identity and cause some unnecessary trouble, so I wore Ghost Face Mask to cover it up."

"Now that I'm back in the Northern Xuan Region, why should I continue wearing a mask? I'm not one of those people from the Darkness Tribunal who like to keep themselves completely covered up and keep strangers away."

The handsome man came up and hugged Lin Dong.

Chen Kui, the first disciple of Bo Xuan, the Darkness Palace Master, and Qing Tan's Senior Disciple Brother.

Unable to resonate with the Darkness Ancestral Symbol, his master Bo Xuan, decided to transform him into Qing Tan's protector, making him the sharpest sword in the hands of the next Darkness Palace Hall Master.

Currently at the Peak Death Profound Stage, only One Step Away from the Samsara Stage.

"Hehe, Chen Kui is talking nonsense. How come you're not a member of my Darkness Tribunal anymore? Once I take over as the Great Hall Master of Darkness Palace, won't you be the one to take over as the Tribunal Chief of the Darkness Tribunal?"

Qing Tan happily undermined her senior brother's efforts.

"Tsk, Qing Tan, you..."

Chen Kui rolled his eyes at his junior sister, then pulled Lin Dong into the hall, saying, "Brother Lin Dong, come with me. Don't pay any attention to this crazy girl. Master has been waiting in the hall for a long time."

Deep inside the main hall.

A majestic old man wearing a black crown sat on Darkness Throne. When the three entered the hall, he immediately smiled and stepped down from the throne, "Lin Dong, how have you been?"

"Congratulations to Senior Bo Xuan on successfully attaining enlightenment and stepping into the Reincarnation."

Lin Dong smiled and cupped his hands in congratulations to the old man in black robes.

"This is all thanks to your Reincarnation Insight; they've been a great help to me."

Bo Xuan recalled the perilous moment when he attempted to break through to the Reincarnation Stage, and couldn't help but show a look of lingering fear on his face.

After exchanging pleasantries, everyone took their seats.

"Besides bringing Qing Tan home for a family reunion, Lin Dong has another matter to attend to."

Lin Dong pondered for a moment before speaking.

"Lin Dong, just say it. What is it? This is the Northern Xuan Region. With just one order from me, millions of people will find what I want."

Bo Xuan, seated on the Darkness Throne, smiled rather reservedly.

"Speaking of which, this matter is related to your palace."

Lin Dong turned to Qing Tan and said, "Qing Tan, give me the Darkness Sacred Scythe."

Without asking why, Qing Tan took out a Black Giant Scythe that was completely black and covered with dense and mysterious runes. The Scythe Blade emitted a Youyou light that made countless powerful people's hearts tremble.

"As a powerful Darkness Sacred Scythe artifact ranked fifth on the Ancient Divine Artifact Ranking, and the Natal Spirit Treasure of the Master of Darkness among the Eight Ancient Masters, does Senior Bo Xuan know that it was damaged during the Ancient Great War?"

Lin Dong stroked the Black Giant Scythe in his hand and said slowly.

"According to the ancient records in the hall, during the Ancient Great War, the Master of Darkness fought against the Demon Emperor with the Darkness Sacred Scythe and suffered a crushing defeat. Even the Scythe Spirit of the Darkness Sacred Scythe was erased. Fortunately, the Ancestor of Symbol Ancestor intervened and saved the Master of Darkness."

"After the Darkness Sacred Scythe fell into the hands of the First Generation Hall Master, the First Generation Hall Master keenly realized that due to the damage to the Scythe Spirit, the power of the Darkness Sacred Scythe had also greatly decreased, so he racked his brains for a way to repair it."

"When he passed away in his later years, the First Generation Hall Master sacrificed himself to the sword, transforming himself into the Scythe Spirit of the Darkness Sacred Scythe, thus completing the Darkness Sacred Scythe."

Bo Xuan nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.

P. S.: It turns out that the Darkness Sacred Scythe was ranked fifth on the Ancient Divine Artifact Ranking. I made a mistake earlier and confused it with the Ancient Qiankun Formation.
