The sect leader was an old man who was over 50 years old. He sat inside the pavilion on the main peak of the three Netherworld Udumbara Peak, closed his eyes, and leisurely meditated. Next to him was a bookkeeper who was lighting incense sticks. Slowly, the tranquil music flowed from his fingertips. An ancient zither covered the mountains and rivers, creating a unique flavor.

The errand boy slowly filled the incense burner with new incense, and wisps of white smoke drifted into the air. The sound reverberated endlessly through the distant sky valley, as if it had reached the realm of immortals.

However, the black clouds in the sky slowly enveloped the three peaks.

At this time, a man wearing black tights and a mask flew down from who knows where. A gust of wind blew by and he knelt in front of the High Priestess. The fragrance in the small pavilion swayed slightly. The female attendant stood aside, not showing any expression of surprise on her face.

Accompanying this gust of wind, the sound of the Sect Leader's zither stopped abruptly. His fingers touched the strings, and the sound he made was still resonating.

”Black Cloud, how's the situation?” The Sect Leader's voice was rather hoarse, and as he spoke, he took in a deep breath. It could be seen that the Sect Leader's aura was unstable, but his cultivation was deep. His body, which was currently seated in front of the zither, left the ground and floated in the air.

The man named Hei Yun didn't remove his mask, and said in a muffled voice, ”Sect Leader, Subordinate's scout group is together with the second brothers of the demon race, advancing towards the direction of the demons.”

The Hierarch stroked his beard and slowly landed on the ground. He slowly said, ”If the Great Yang ally with the demon race, the Nether Sect will be in grave danger.” Dismissed some of the primary profound practitioners and cultivators that you recruited the day before yesterday, and we won't be able to protect them. ”

At this time, he was kneeling on the ground with both hands cupped together, but he was surprised: ”Sect Leader, this subordinate has only seen the scene of them together. Great Yang may not be allied with the demon race, and before this, the two have never made any alliance, are you thinking too much?”

”Just do as I say.” With that, the melodious sound of the zither rang out once more. The High Priestess took a deep breath and the surrounding wind began to stir. Slowly, her body began to rise into the air again.

Seeing this, Black Cloud did not say anything else and turned to leave.

The main peak of the three peaks of the Nether Sect was still as high and smooth as ever.

The girl next to him looked to be about ten years old. She was wearing two simple bun, and her round face was even adorable. At this moment, she asked in doubt, ”Grandfather, could it be that we are going to leave the Three Peak Mountain and move out?”

The Hierarch sighed, placed the zither under his hand, and slowly stood up. Little Che, you must remember, at any time, only when you are strong will you truly be strong. ”

The girl called Xiao Che shook her head: ”Grandfather, why should we be strong? Watching the sunrise, playing the zither, and burning incense day by day like this, isn't that great? ”

His grandfather turned his head to look at him and smiled. ”That's right. This kind of life is the best.” However, he understood that the Netherworld Sect was no longer the same sect that was equal to the demons and the Great Yang Empire.

The Nether Sect always occupied the three peaks and the main peak was located on the side of the two peaks. Although the position was not ideal, the peaks were still foggy, surrounded by a sea of clouds, green mountains, and clear waters; the four seasons could be seen clearly. As a sect that focused on cultivation, in the eyes of the growing power of the martial arts world, it was a kind of hatred and hostility. It was precisely because many years ago, the Great Yang was exterminated once by a profound practitioner, and they forcefully endured through the most difficult period, that they finally rose up once more. From then on, they were forbidden to cultivate the Profound Mysteries of the Great Yang clansmen in order to avoid repeating the same mistake.
