Inside Cloud Immortal Hall.
The hook-nosed old man, Yun Chongxin, was striding through a pitch-black cave entrance halfway up the back mountain.
The cave was exceptionally deep. Surrounded by utter darkness, it gave one the feeling that there was no end in sight.
He walked through the cave for nearly half an hour.
Only then did he finally arrive at a vast mountain hall glowing with an eerie blue radiance.
"All members of the Dark Hall, heed my command!"
The mountain hall was surrounded by stone walls on all four sides. The moment his shout left his mouth, it seemed to echo without end.
The stone walls on all four sides suddenly opened, and black-clad figures filed out one after another.
There were a great many of them.
Moreover, the auras emanating from each of them were nearly identical.
They were all Void Realm experts.
Yet their Void Realm seemed very similar to that of Elder Yunyi and the Two Elders of Xuan Mountain.
Their cultivation had stepped into the Void Realm.
But everything else remained stalled at the Shining Star Position.
"Greetings, Fourth Elder."
More than a hundred people bowed in unison to Yun Chongxin.
Yun Chongxin did not tell them to dispense with formalities. Instead, he flicked his sleeve, sending over a hundred jade talismans into their hands.
One for each person, neither more nor less.
"Among the Rogue Cultivators, a new Rogue Cultivator has emerged to oppose our Cloud Immortal Hall. He has already slain the Two Elders of Xuan Mountain, as well as Guardian Molin, the only one capable of helping you truly enter the Void Realm."
His earlier words seemed to carry not the slightest significance for these people.
But when the final sentence came out, every one of them sprang up.
"Who was it?"
