Chapter 219: The Four Great Shura

Chapter 219: Chapter 219: The Four Great Shura

Ling Chen understood.

Cultivators with strong cultivation couldn’t enter, and even if the weak ones managed to get in, given the powerful Dark Night elites within the Dark Realm, they probably wouldn’t fare well.

"Let’s enter the city first! We can talk about other things as we go."

Su Changge started walking towards the city gates.

Carved above the huge gates was the name of the city.

"Dark Night!"

The name of the city was very simple and crude.

Just as they reached the city gate, the three of them were stopped by a team of guards, and the team leader’s cultivation was even stronger than Su Changge’s.

"Greetings to Protector Jiang, I am Su Changge, dispatched by the sovereign to recruit Dark Night Sons!"

Su Changge respectfully saluted the team leader.

Then, he handed a Token to the strong one called Protector Jiang.

After the team leader had checked the Token, he verified the Identity Tokens of the three of them, and only then did he allow them to pass.

"This person is one of our Dark Night’s Protectors, surnamed Jiang, so he is generally referred to as Protector Jiang. In the future, when you meet other Protectors, you should address them in the same manner."

Su Changge said.

"Understood, my lord!"

Ling Chen and Xu Lin quickly replied.

"Additionally, our city is called Dark Night City."

"Dark Night City is not big, essentially consisting of five palaces."

"The most central palace is the Main Palace, which is also the living area for our sovereign and you Dark Night Sons."

"On the north side of the Main Palace is the Guardian Palace, where the Protectors live. On the south side is the Rashamon Palace, which is the living area for us Rashamons. On the east side of the Main Palace is the Shura Palace, which is the activity area for the four great Shuras of our Dark Night. As for the west side, there is a Temporary Palace. People who enter from the outside, whether Gold or Silver Assassins, are generally arranged to stay there."

"Additionally, I want to highlight the Shura Palace."

"Shura Palace, divided into four major halls, Dark Hall, Ye Hall, Star Hall, and Spirit Hall, each managed by one of the four great Shuras. Normally, all the people of Dark Night, except for the sovereign, are governed by these four Shuras."

"Among them, the Hall Master of Dark Hall is called An Xiuluo, with Dark Hall being responsible for intelligence gathering. The Hall Master of Ye Hall is Ye Xiuluo, responsible for assassin missions. The Hall Master of Star Hall is named Star Xiuluo, responsible for the recruitment of talents for Dark Night. Lastly, Spirit Hall is responsible for the supply of Elixirs and Spiritual Artifacts; the Hall Master is Ling Xiuluo."

"And, we are now headed to Star Hall in Shura Palace for the awarding ceremony; Lord Star Xiuluo has been waiting for you."

...

Su Changge shared some information about Dark Night with the two of them.

Two quarters of an hour later, the three finally arrived inside Star Hall of Shura Palace.

At that moment, inside Star Hall, there were eight Cultivators waiting.

Among them, four were seated at the upper end of Star Hall.

The other four were standing in the middle of the hall.

Hearing footsteps, the eyes of the eight people converged towards the entrance of Star Hall.

"Su Changge, greets the four distinguished Shuras!"

Upon entering Star Hall, Su Changge immediately bowed deeply to those four Cultivators above.

"Greetings to Star Xiuluo and the other three Shura lords!"

Ling Chen and Xu Lin likewise saluted.

"Su Luosha, the two prospective Dark Night Sons, no need for such formalities!"

Among the four great Shuras, the one seated in the middle addressed them with a smile.

This person was the Hall Master of Star Hall, Star Xiuluo!

"Thank you, Lord Star Xiuluo!"

Su Changge and the others then stood up.

When Ling Chen’s gaze fell on the person who had spoken, his eyes suddenly sharpened.

This person was the powerful individual he had met at the top of the Observing Stars Tower!

He knew this person was likely to be one of Dark Night’s high-rankers.

But he had never imagined that this person would be the Hall Master of Star Hall, Star Xiuluo!

Star Xiuluo seemed to notice the change in Ling Chen’s expression and looked towards Ling Chen with a trace of a smile in his eyes.

"Lord Star Xiuluo, in the name of the sovereign, I have recruited two Dark Night Sons."

Su Changge stated respectfully.

"Mmm, Su Luosha, thank you for your hard work!"

Xing Xiuluo nodded in acknowledgment.

"Bai 323, Bai 397, congratulations on becoming Dark Night Sons of the Dark Night!"

Xing Xiuluo said with a smile to the two of them.

At this moment, the other three Shura lords, along with the four cultivators in the hall, also cast curious glances at Ling Chen and his companion.

"Primordial Pill Realm second layer, mid-phase. Hmm, not bad."

An Xiuluo remarked.

When his gaze landed on Ling Chen, he was momentarily taken aback and said with some astonishment, "Spirit Sea Realm nine layers late phase?"

"Is it really the Spirit Sea Realm?"

Both Ye Xiuluo and Ling Xiuluo exhibited disbelieving looks in their eyes.

To them, there was no difference between the ninth layer of the Spirit Sea Realm and the first; either could be easily swatted away like a fly.

As for the other four standing cultivators, they were completely bewildered.

In their hearts, they all began to doubt when it had become so easy to become a Dark Night Son.

Moreover, it was said that this was the most difficult assessment yet, and two Dark Night Sons were being recruited at once!

Seeing everyone’s expression, a hint of pride appeared on Xing Xiuluo’s face.

He had not told anyone about Ling Chen’s information!

"So that’s how it is!"

Ling Xiuluo’s gaze was fixed tightly on Ling Chen, then her beautiful eyes suddenly lit up, shimmering with insight.

She finally sensed that Ling Chen was also a Divine Thought Master!

And not just any, but a superior-grade Divine Thought Master!

"Wait a moment!"

One of the four standing cultivators came forward, bowed to Xing Xiuluo, and said, "May I ask Lord Xing Xiuluo, does this Bai 397 truly qualify to become a Dark Night Son alongside us?"

"Yes, please Lord Xing Xiuluo explain."

The other three cultivators also bowed and asked.

It turned out that these four were also Dark Night Sons!

They had already undergone the initiation ceremony and were true Dark Night Sons.

They were not provisional Dark Night Sons like Ling Chen.

Their purpose for coming was simply to attend the ceremony.

Xing Xiuluo glanced at Ling Xiuluo and smiled lightly, "Ling Xiuluo, you must have seen it already, right? Then could you please explain to number Fifteen and the others?"

"Fifteen" was the Dark Night Son who had just spoken.

In the Dark Night, Dark Night Sons were also referred to by code names.

These four Dark Night Sons were Fifteen, Sixteen, Seventeen, and Eighteen.

"Alright!"

Ling Xiuluo nodded lightly, a smile curling her lips, and staring at Ling Chen, she announced, "He is a superior-grade Divine Thought Master!"

"What? A superior-grade Divine Thought Master?"

The four Dark Night Sons exclaimed in surprise, their eyes brimming with incredulity.

One of the basic conditions for becoming a Dark Night Son was being under thirty years old.

The difficulty of training as a Divine Thought Master far exceeded that of a Spiritual Power Practitioner. To become a superior-grade Divine Thought Master by the age of thirty was simply terrifying!

In the entire Dark Night, the only Divine Thought Master Dark Night Son was currently only at a mid-grade level.

An Xiuluo and Ye Xiuluo, having realized this by now, also focused their attention and could faintly sense Ling Chen’s formidable Divine Soul.

Xing Xiuluo looked at the four Dark Night Sons and with a smile asked, "Now, do you believe he is qualified to become a Dark Night Son?"

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, the four quickly nodded in affirmation, awakening from their shock, and then they returned to their original positions.

"Mmm."

Xing Xiuluo nodded, his gaze intense as he watched Ling Chen, "Next, we will proceed with the initiation ceremony!"

As the Hall Master of Xing Hall, in charge of recruiting talents, Xing Xiuluo naturally knew Ling Chen’s information.

Even more so than Su Changge knew of Ling Chen’s background.
