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.

He had to admit that cultivating the profound was stronger than cultivating the Dao. But the Human Emperor proved to the world that this view was wrong. Because the three masters of the three great peaks had clashed with each other while cultivating in the Nether Sect of the Profound Cultivation, the Xuan Artifact had heavily injured the three of them as a result of the internal conflict.

These three main forces controlled the tens of thousands of disciples of the Netherworld Sect and disappeared at the same time, causing chaos to the entire sect. The Hierarch could only evade. The three of them had to undergo several years of closed-door cultivation before they could finally calm down.

However, all the people knew, how could it be that the Sect Leader did not go into seclusion, and let his three disciples go into seclusion at the same time? There was clearly a reason that was hard to explain. The first person to test the sect was the Da Yang sect.

The Great Yang first sent people to send valuable gifts to the Nether Sect. The Nether Sect didn't return the greeting and didn't say anything. For many years, they had been friendly and friendly, wanting to avoid water.

Next, they sent people to expand the borders of the neighboring states to the foot of the three peaks. The Ghost sect still didn't express anything. They only smiled and nodded, silently admitting defeat.

In the end, the Great Yang directly beat the emissary and the leader of the Ming sect about the matter of surrender. The price was to protect the Nether Sect in the name of the Great Yang, and also to manage the Holy Scale Guards to guard the southern part of the Three Peaks Mountain that had been spied on by the demons.

This wasn't really anything, but more importantly, the sect was forbidden from continuing to cultivate and all of them changed to cultivation.

This was a condition that the Nether Sect could not accept. Of course, the Great Central Region's Human Emperor knew that this would be the result. Thus, he naturally initiated a crackdown on the Nether Sect.

This battle had lasted for many years. From the time the Netherworld Sect and the Great Yang were on equal footing, to the time they disregarded each other and treated each other as enemies, it had taken less than 10 years.

In this battle, the Netherworld Sect had already suffered a great loss in strength, and they had used almost all of their strength to reduce the number of their members to less than a thousand. Thus, in the following days, they began to recruit people, regardless of whether it was martial practitioners or cultivators, to join their sects and start anew to cultivate their profound strength. Of course, the aptitudes of these people were all different, and the Sect Leader's subordinates were not like those three with outstanding leadership and talent. He was in charge of all these things, and gradually, the Nether Sect turned into a disorderly crowd, turning into a sect that Great Yang and the demons despised.

The decline of the power of the sect was also the reason for the decline of the sect. To launch the final attack on the main branch like this, it could only be regarded as a form of expression. His attitude towards the main branch was no longer just kowtowing. There was no other meaning to it.

If the demons took another step, the Nether Sect would really disappear from this world.

The old man knew very well that if he wanted to rise up again in a hundred years, he could only preserve his final strength and slowly develop it. Thus, leaving now was the best choice.

And the girl next to him was none other than the daughter of the Main Peak, eldest disciple Lin Guangxuan, Lin Che. This girl had followed the Sect Leader since she was young. She was very smart, but had no parents to take care of her. Fortunately, Laoen didn't make her suffer much. She just couldn't see the reason why her body was so weak. This also became a sore spot in the Sect Leader's heart.

However, Little Che did not know about these things.

At this time, Little Che laughed: "Grandfather, we better not leave. Daddy, Uncle, Uncle, it's not like Third Uncle is in closed door training. If they can't find us, what should we do?"
