After the failed pursuit of the Netherworld Demon Sovereign, the Six Immortals reconvened for a secret council.
The recent chain of events revealed far too many suspicious elements to ignore.
The initial trigger of the entire incident had been the interrupted meeting between the five ninth-rank monsters and Minghe Yama Zi—a disruption that directly led the Immortals to launch a coordinated assault on Minghe Yama Zi.
In response, Minghe Yama Zi unleashed his trump card, summoning the projection of the Netherworld Demon Sovereign.
Up to that point, there was nothing amiss.
However—what followed raised grave concerns.
A mysterious figure suddenly appeared amidst the battle outside the Four Regions of the Nine Provinces, wielding Immortal-level power, and launched a surprise attack to assist the two Immortals under siege.
Immediately after, one of the ninth-rank monsters, Destruction King, fell in battle, and his Rule-bound Artifact vanished without a trace.
