Lu Yin's eyes widened. The Fourteenth Gate? He'd heard of it.
The Cold Immortal Sect's Cold Gate was divided into nine gates in Zhongping Realm and four in Upper Realm, making thirteen in total. Beyond those thirteen gates, there was also a mysterious Fourteenth Gate. It did not guard a single location, but instead patrolled the entire Tree Starry Sky. Every year, it captured as many Dark Sons and Red Backs as the other thirteen gates combined. It was the Cold Gate's most elite and secretive division.
He hadn't expected to join the Fourteenth Gate.
Joining the Fourteenth Gate meant taking on difficult assignments. Each year, he had to turn in at least ten Dark Sons. That was only the minimum. Supposedly, the Fourteenth Gate captured tens of thousands of Dark Sons every year, though he had no idea whether that was true.
But while the assignments were difficult, the Fourteenth Gate also wielded immense authority. Its members had the right to arrest and interrogate anyone in the Tree Starry Sky. That authority came from the Cold Gate's Governor Lord, the ancestor who had founded the organization.
Joining the Fourteenth Gate meant having the ancestor's support. As one of his disciples, Lu Yin wouldn't need to worry about the Cold Immortal Sect plotting against him.
He hadn't expected he could join the Fourteenth Gate, either. It seemed his true identity wasn't something he could let people discover.
As he was thinking, his Cloud Communication Stone vibrated again. Lu Yin glanced at it and swallowed. Long Xi.
He hesitated. Should he answer or not? That was the question.
The Cloud Communication Stone vibrated for a long time, but Long Xi showed no sign of giving up.
Lu Yin could almost see Long Xi's furious face through the Cloud Communication Stone. No,
