Daluotian, central region.

At the central region of Daluotian, which looked like a small continent, there was a towering, majestic mountain peak. The peak pierced into the clouds like a sword, producing a spectacular sight.

This peak was called the Daluo Peak, and was the most important place in the entire Daluotian region. It was not only a place where the three kings controlled the whole Daluo Territory, but also one where even the mysterious Dominator was said to be secluded within. It was like the pivot point of the whole Daluotian region, or even the whole Daluo Territory.

At that moment, the Daluo Peak was exceptionally lively. In the sky, whistling sounds could be heard continuously, as people whizzed over from afar, one by one, eventually landing on the magnificent peak.

That day was when the biannual Meeting of the Nine Lords in the Daluo Territory would be held. This was considered to be a very important meeting in the Daluo Territory, so normally, nobody would be absent.

At the highest part of the Daluo Peak, a giant palace stood in silence. The palace was emitting an ancient feeling, as if it had been retained from the olden times, causing many to feel awe.

Before the palace was a series of stone stairs, which were one hundred thousand feet long. All the figures landed below the stone stairs, not daring to fly to the top directly. Instead, they chose to walk up, respectfully using the long stone stairs.

Before the hundred thousand feet long stone stairs, there were already many people congregated. However, most of them stood in various clusters, with clear divisions between the different groups.

Where there are people, there are conflicts, and in the huge Daluo Territory, this rule also applied. For their own benefits, the different clans fought against each other. There was gratitude among some of them, resentment among others, which indeed made for a complicated situation.

Vroom!

As the extensive platform started to be filled with people, a few streamers suddenly flew over from the distant sky, eventually landing on the platform. Everyone’s sight was projected onto the few people. When they saw the newcomers clearly, their eyes were all filled with intense surprise. Immediately, some soft whispering spread quietly.

“That’s… Lord Nine Nether? She has indeed returned!”

“Yesterday, I already received some news, which seems to be indeed true. Lord Nine Nether disappeared for many years, and it was said that she went for her tribulation. By the looks of it, she has passed the tribulation successfully.”

“Incredible. To think that she could pass the tribulation at her age, and turn from a spiritual beast into being divine.”

“Seems like the Meeting of the Nine Lords today will be interesting. Over these past years, the Nine Nether Palace has been severely bullied by the other lords, the leading one being Lord Blood Hawk. Based on the character of Lord Nine Nether, she will not leave the matter as such.”

“In the past, Lord Nine Nether had yet to pass the tribulation. The Condor King supported her, but she was of no threat still. Today, however, she has passed the tribulation and returned, so things will probably not end that easily.”

“…”

On the vast platform, different kinds of whispering spread quietly. Towards those gossiping, Nine Nether acted as if she heard nothing. Lifting her face, she stared at the ancient palace at the top of the hundred thousand feet long stone stairs, her long eyes squinting slightly.

Mu Chen and the two sisters, Tang Bing and Tang Rou, all stood behind Nine Nether, looking steadily forward. Shortly after Nine Nether emerged, more whistling was heard from the sky. A few figures flew over, eventually landing on the platform.

As these figures arrived, a strong spiritual energy pressure enveloped the place instantly. The people who were walking over were obviously very powerful.

Mu Chen also glanced at them, realizing that there were about three groups of people who had just emerged. On the left, the leader was an emotionless middle-aged man. He wore black robes and his pupils were dark red, making people tremble in fear.

Behind the middle-aged man, a younger man followed closely. The man was tall and straight, and he wore a green shirt. His dashing eyebrows swung in the air, and in fact, he was pretty handsome.

Around him, there was a decent spiritual energy fluctuation. His expression was originally quite calm, but once he saw that slender and tall body, the look in his eyes started to fluctuate uncontrollably.

“That is Lord Asura, who is considered to be the strongest among the nine lords today. In time, he may even be eligible to become one of the three kings.” When Mu Chen saw the two people, Tang Bing, who was at the side, said softly.

Mu Chen nodded gently, his look somewhat solemn. The feeling that Lord Asura had given him was even stronger and more unfathomable than the that which he had gotten from the old man in black robes, who was now accompanying Liu Ming.

“The person behind Lord Asura is Xu Qing, the head of the four great commanders. He is pretty powerful.”
