Gu Anran and the young man known as Grid obtain a Mysterious Yin Zhu Fruit. A mysterious black-robed man directs them to Underworld Emperor City, deep within the Yin Wind Range, and assures them their invitation will protect them from Yin Soul Beasts. Grid reveals he is a friend of Gu Anran's Senior Brother, Ye Yun, and promises to help her find him after their business in the Yin Wind Range is concluded. Their conversation is interrupted by a Celestial Boat carrying many cultivators. Grid, revealing his Divine King Realm power, easily crashes the boat, astonishing Gu Anran and the red-robed man aboard. After reprimanding them for scaring Gu Anran, Grid accepts a Mysterious Yin Zhu Fruit as recompense and inquires about the Yin Emperor, learning he resides in a dangerous forbidden area.

"Forbidden Land..."

"Yin Emperor..."

The young man mumbled a couple of words, touching his chin, and a look of interest appeared on his face.

He chuckled: "Not bad, this place is worth a visit!"

The man in the red robe also wanted to form a good relationship with this God King Expert, so he volunteered: "Senior, why not join us on this Magic Boat, what do you think?"

"Alright."

The young man agreed without hesitation.

The Celestial Boat flew over and landed steadily at the young man’s feet.

"Miss, please!"

The young man said respectfully.

Gu Anran, under everyone’s gaze, could only brace herself and board.

The young man followed behind her.

The man in the red robe, with a respectful expression, was the last to board the Celestial Boat.

The Celestial Boat soared into the sky, flying deep into the Yin Wind Range.

If someone were standing in the deepest void, overlooking the entire Yin Wind Range, they would discover there were seventy-two factions that had received invitations, all heading to the Forbidden Land—the Yin Emperor Dynasty.

This Celestial Boat from Daluo Sword Palace was naturally one of them.

Ye Yun silently sensed the surroundings, finding the speed of the Imitation Mirror slowing down, and he couldn’t help but marvel at it.

He took a sneaky glance.

This is when he discovered the Imitation Mirror and Gu Anran on a crowded Celestial Boat, traveling together, heading deeper into the Yin Wind Range.

The Imitation Mirror was holding a black invitation in its hand.

"Interesting, even the Imitation Mirror has an invitation, which means all the powerful ones should have received invitations..."

Ye Yun smiled inwardly, not minding it.

...

The Celestial Boat flew for a while.

A few hours later, the howling Yin Wind ahead grew stronger.

Even the Celestial Boat seemed like it was struggling against the current, its speed slowing down.

"Senior Brother, we are not far from the Forbidden Land’s Yin Emperor City..."

Liu Yingying stood at the bow, gazing into the distance, silently speaking.

In the distant, hazy black mist, there appeared the outline of a massive city, majestic and imposing, like a giant beast lurking there.

"Hmm!"

Ye Yun nodded.

His expression remained calm and collected.

"Wow, Senior Brother is really calm!"

Liu Yingying licked her lips, deeply admiring her senior brother’s composure.

Zhou Xiaoqian and others were somewhat inexplicably excited at this moment.

After all, the fame of the Forbidden Land had penetrated deeply.

Now, following their senior brother, they were about to enter this mysterious place.

Regarding this so-called "Adult Dark Prince," the beauties of Daluo Sword Palace were also very interested, curious about who this person was.

The Celestial Boat from Daluo Sword Palace was surrounded in all directions by other Celestial Boats, making headway against the strong Yin Wind, converging towards Yin Emperor City.

Different factions noticed each other.

"Wow, quite a crowd!

Many powerful factions from the Daluo Region and Hell Ghost Domain received invitations from the Yin Emperor..."

Zhou Xiaoqian exclaimed in surprise.

"This Yin Emperor, since he is the master of the Forbidden Land, must be very powerful, but why would he invite so many factions here?"

Liu Yingying pondered aloud.

Ye Yun also laughed, speculating: "If, as you previously said, the Forbidden Land is a place even God King Experts dare not lightly step into, what would he want with these little cultivators of the God Venerable Realm?"

"I don’t know either, Senior Brother.

I always feel this Yin Emperor is too mysterious, who knows what he really wants..."

Liu Yingying spread her hands, helplessly smiling wryly.

"Hehe, when we reach Yin Emperor City, everything will become clear."

Ye Yun smiled.

He glanced sideways and saw the Celestial Boat carrying the Imitation Mirror approaching from the far right.

With composure, Ye Yun executed the Ten Thousand Changes at Heart.

At the moment, his appearance transformed subtly into that of another white-robed youth.

Hum...

Ye Yun’s pupils contracted slightly, employing the Sky Exterminating Phantom Eye.

This way, the young girls around him wouldn’t notice any anomalies in his appearance.

Ye Yun had no intention of letting the Imitation Mirror recognize him in advance, hence the disguise.

As long as the Imitation Mirror didn’t engage its main body for scanning, Ye Yun didn’t even need to use the Concealing Cloth.

...

"Junior Sister’s True God Realm is indeed the weakest among all the factions..."

Watching Gu Anran, being surrounded at the center of the Celestial Boat like stars surrounding the moon, Ye Yun couldn’t help but chuckle, shaking his head lightly.

Due to the Imitation Mirror connection.

The Junior Sister also received an unexpectedly warm reception.

Not long after.

The Celestial Boat plunged into the black mist, traveled for another hour, finally reaching Yin Emperor City.

This vast Yin Emperor City floated atop a layer of black mist, majestic and magnificent, with an ancient black city wall towering over ten thousand feet high.

Yin Emperor City, entirely black, exuded a ghastly, eerie aura.

"Friends of the Daluo Sky Sect, welcome!"

At the entrance of the massive city gate, a black-robed man wearing a ghost mask awaited silently, waving with a smile as he saw Ye Yun and others arrive.

The Celestial Boat descended.

Ye Yun and his entourage disembarked.

Liu Yingying gestured, and the Celestial Boat suddenly shrank, flying into her hand.

"Dear friends, you have journeyed long and hard! Within the Royal Palace, my Yin Emperor has long awaited to entertain you, please follow me!"

The black-robed man said with a smile.

He looked at Ye Yun, with unchanged eyes.

He did not notice any change in Ye Yun.

When he appeared, Ye Yun had already used the Sky Exterminating Phantom Eye on him, so naturally, he noticed nothing unusual about Ye Yun’s appearance.

"Alright!"

Ye Yun nodded with a smile, following the black-robed man inside.

Not only the Daluo Sword Palace’s group, but other Celestial Boat factions were also being led into the city by corresponding Ghost Envoys.

Yin Emperor City’s streets bustled with people, seemingly no different from a worldly imperial city.

This surprised Ye Yun.

Yet, the living humans in Yin Emperor City didn’t have high cultivation bases, each possessing Yin Spirit Bodies.

They were considered ghostly beings.

"Unexpectedly, Yin Emperor City is so lively..."

Liu Yingying muttered, her face deeply shocked.

"The Yin Emperor has always been low-key, even with such a massive imperial city, he never revealed anything to the outside world. So all the factions in Tianluo Domain and Hell Ghost Domain are unaware of the situation here..."

The black-robed man leading them turned and said proudly to the group.

"How long has this Yin Emperor City been established?"

Ye Yun raised an eyebrow, asking blandly.

"For over a million years."

The black-robed man said with pride.

"That long? The outside world knows nothing, your Yin Emperor is indeed very low-key..."

Ye Yun smiled insipidly.

"Not bad!"

The black-robed man nodded with a smile.

He led Ye Yun and the others on a leisurely tour, unknowingly arriving outside the Royal Palace.

Here stood another black palace, with grand architecture radiating the aura of imperial superiority.

However.

This architectural style appeared very ancient, quite different from the palatial styles of the Divine Land.

Under the guidance of the black-robed man, they entered the Royal Palace, arriving at the Golden Hall.

At this moment.

Along the jade tables on either side of the Golden Hall, were already seated numerous powerful talents from various factions.

Of course.

Those seated at the tables were the leaders of these factions, while their subordinates stood in an orderly manner behind them.

The Golden Hall was vast and spacious, even accommodating tens of thousands wouldn’t make it appear overcrowded.

At a jade table to the left, the young man and Gu Anran sat there.

As Ye Yun entered, the young man glanced at him briefly, then looked away.

Without using any detection divine skills with its main body, the Imitation Mirror didn’t recognize Ye Yun either.

After all.

The Imitation Mirror wouldn’t even dream that the long-missing master was now in the Golden Hall of Yin Emperor City.

...
