Junior sister took first place again

Jizhou.

Deep in the Demon Realm, a tall and majestic black-gold palace stands on the main peak of Phantom Mountain, which was flattened by a sword.

This is the Jiuyou Palace where Ding Kun, the leader of the Hidden Moon Sect, resides. It represents his unrivaled and unshakable position among the demon clan.

There are also countless palace complexes scattered around, guarding the area.

The surroundings are shrouded in clouds and mist, and the blood moon in the sky and the spinels on the ground that emit blood-red light give people a mysterious and terrifying feeling from a distance.

A few streaks of light slid across the dim sky and landed outside the palace gate perched high on the mountain top.

The guards stationed on both sides of the crystal floor had expressionless faces. On each of the black gold stone pillars outside the palace gate, there was a high-level candle moth guard.

Figures gradually emerged from the light and walked into the hall one after another.

The guards all bowed their heads and half-knelt, saluted respectfully to the first person and said, "Lord Shuoyue."

The man was tall and wore a set of exquisite silver light armor.

His face had clear lines and his facial features exuded a sharp, sculpted look. His nose was straight, his lips were tightly pursed into a line, and his sword-like eyebrows slanted into his temples. Beneath them were a pair of cold, dark-gold eyes. He looked handsome and tough.

He nodded slightly when he heard that and walked in without stopping.

Next came two women, one of whom was wearing a dark suit with neat geometric patterns embroidered in gold thread on the cuffs and collar.

She wore an exquisite silver mask on her face, revealing only the same pale golden eyes and bloodless lips as the person before her.

Her silver hair was braided into many small braids, dotted with many colorful gems, and tied with an exquisite golden crown. Her skin was also sickly pale, but her smooth jawline also showed that she was a pretty lady.

The other one is very bright.

She has a pair of affectionate dark golden peach blossom eyes, a tall and delicate nose bridge and lips that are just beginning to bloom like red cherry blossoms. She can be described as having spring in her eyes with light eyebrows, and her skin is as smooth as warm jade. The words "delicate and charming" seem to be born for her.

She was dressed in an even more luxurious and gorgeous manner, wearing a long, floor-length dress made of butterfly-wing gauze in the color of imperial concubines, with flame-like patterns embroidered on the wide hem. Her arms were wrapped around a camellia-red shawl that was about a meter long and stretched on the ground.

Her long black hair was combed into a bun, with a seven-treasure coral hairpin and several gold ornaments inserted in her hair. She wore a crystal necklace around her neck and a pair of white jade bracelets on her wrists, which made her skin look as white as snow and delicate and translucent.

The guards lowered their heads even lower and said respectfully again, "Master Wangyue, Master Xianyue."

The woman in black nodded lightly and walked in without any pause.

The Crescent Moon City Lord paused briefly and said with a smile, "Everyone has worked hard. Get up."

Everyone stood up silently, only the leader said he didn't dare, and watched the two people step into the hall one after another.

About half a cup of tea later, the last person came over.

The guards half-knelt and saluted again, "Lord Huiyue."

He smiled and said casually, "Well, get up."

This person is different from the three top-level demons mentioned above. His pupils are as dark as ink, indicating that he is a human.

Her eyes are narrow and long, her lips are thin and smiling, and her facial features are very outstanding.

He had an extremely tall and straight figure, and was wearing a scarlet brocade robe with wide sleeves and dark patterns. The clothes hung loosely on his body, revealing his seductive collarbone and a large, well-muscled chest. It was no exaggeration to say that his chest circumference was over 100cm.

Her long black hair was partially tied up with a headband of the same color as her clothes, and then cascaded down behind her. Although she looked lazy in her every move, she was still very imposing.

As he stepped in, the heavy and exquisite palace gate slammed shut, blocking out all prying eyes from the outside world.

This palace looks mysterious and terrifying from a distance, but once you step inside, it is completely different from what you see from the outside.

Warm, bright, and luxurious.

The crystal dome above sparkles with starlight, and the floor below is paved with a whole piece of obsidian, which is bright enough to illuminate people.

All the utensils inside were exquisite and gorgeous. In the middle was a gold-woven mat several meters long and wide. The curtains around it were made of floating brocade, and the decorations were golden lamps and jade trees. The lighting fixtures were luminous pearls emitting gold and white. Even the murals on the wall were gilded.

There was mist outside the hall, but it was warm as spring inside, and soul-nourishing incense worth a fortune was lit.

Huiyue and the three people in front of him knelt down and saluted one after another. After the ceremony, they sat quietly in their respective seats, waiting for instructions from the person in charge. The sitting and lying utensils were all carved from precious fragrant wood that could calm the mind and concentrate the spirit.

Ding Kun, the leader of the Hidden Moon Sect, did not sit in the large black-gold chair at the top, but stood and looked down at a picture on the table - on it was a complete map of the four major continents in the world of immortal cultivation.

The two bodyguards on the left and right stood behind him one step back.

After a while, he raised his head, revealing a captivatingly deep and three-dimensional handsome face.

As he moved, his ankle-length dark red curls, like blazing flames, seemed to burst into flames in an instant.

His dark golden eyes casually swept over the four city lords below. He flicked his sleeves and sat down on the chair behind him with great force, and said:

"News came from the Immortal Sect that the Cangwu Secret Realm will be opened ahead of schedule."

Those who were seen by him bowed their heads respectfully, their breathing and heartbeats not being irregular at all.

After hearing what he said, everyone's eyes flashed. The Lord of Shuoyue City stood up first and stepped forward respectfully and said:

"Ha, opening the Cangwu Secret Realm in advance, are the Immortal Sect afraid that it will be too troublesome for us to capture them one by one?"

The Lord of Shuoyue City scoffed, then changed the subject and said ambitiously:

"Master, the Cangwu Secret Realm only opens once every six hundred years, and this time it's only twenty years early. When this secret realm opens, almost all the younger elites in the Immortal Sect will gather here. This is the perfect time for us to capture them all in one fell swoop. Shuoyue has challenged us to a battle, and we will definitely deal a heavy blow to the Immortal Sect and enhance the prestige of our demon clan!"

Ding Kun's eyebrows twitched, and he chuckled softly, "Alright, let's get ready for now. Go find a location first and wait for the Divine Master's arrangements."

"Yes!"

Shuoyue retreated and sat down with a fierce look on his face.

Then the Lord of Wangyue City stepped forward, lowered his head and said calmly:

"The formation is intact."

Dingkun nodded, and Wangyue also retreated and sat down.

The Crescent Moon City Lord then stepped forward to report, "The news of the Dragon Scale Fruit has been released, and the two brothers from the Blue Water Sect have already rushed to Soul Island."

Upon hearing this, Ding Kun said without hesitation: "Since the Cangwu Secret Realm has been opened ahead of time, let's give them the things. A good show needs more people to be lively. However, there is no such thing as free food. There is always a price to pay."

The Crescent Moon City Lord smiled sweetly and said in a brisk tone:

"Yes, I will definitely entertain them well."

After she finished speaking, she bowed gracefully, turned around and sat down with a brisk pace.

Then, everyone's attention turned to the only human present.

The Lord of Huiyue City stood up, took a step forward and said respectfully:

"Several major sects in the four states are secretly recalling their masters. Although they are doing so covertly, it's still impossible to hide. The most concentrated efforts are in Western and Central states. Furthermore, the spiritual energy in these two states is quietly converging in all directions. I suspect that the location of the Cangwu secret realm is hidden in these two states."

Ding Kun raised his eyebrows slightly, nodded in satisfaction and said, "That's right, then I'll leave the investigation of the secret location to you."

The Lord of Huiyue City lowered his head slightly and replied, "Yes."

Ding Kun finally said, "Proceed with all other matters as usual. Wait for the Divine Master's instructions. Go."

"My subordinate understands."

The heavy palace door opened silently, and the four people left the palace one after another, flying towards the four major cities in the east, west, south and north of the Demon Realm respectively.
