Aside from this, there was a mature beauty dressed in a light veil, with a fiery figure, revealing her long legs and large patches of snow-white skin. She held a jade flute in her hand, sitting by the window, her eyes affectionate yet somewhat forlorn as she looked at the young Daoist.

In the room against the wall, there was a swordsman wearing a bamboo hat and an ascetic with long hair, a necklace of white bone Buddhist beads around his neck.

At this time, the old beggar sitting in the corner couldn't help but shout, "I say, Black Wind Monster, you're scurrying around in such a hurry this time, even sending out the Black Wind Token to invite all of us here, surely you have a plan?"

"Why don't you just speak plainly, instead of beating around the bush?"

If others from the Martial World were eavesdropping, they would know that the speaker, the old beggar, was none other than Wu Liujin, the leader of the Beggar Gang, dominating the Martial World with the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms and the Dog Beating Staff Technique, a master of the Half-Step Celestial Human Realm.

His actions were both righteous and evil. Anyone who offended him, regardless of being good or evil, with any background, would have their tendons and bones severed, their martial arts wasted, their appearance ruined, their tongue cut off, becoming a tool for the Beggar Gang to gather wealth.

The one he called Black Wind Ancestor was the most feared force in the Underworld; he became infamous sixty years ago, killing thirty-nine Underworld experts consecutively upon his emergence, destroying seventy-six strongholds.

In just over a year's time, he unified the Green Forests of both the North and South, then set up his stronghold in the South at Black Wind Ridge, being revered as the Black Wind Ancestor.

Subsequently, he bloodily slaughtered the Seventy-Two Righteous Sects, causing a river of blood and bodies to pile up, making everyone in the Martial World panic-stricken, leaving no ordinary martial artist daring to claim righteousness.

During that period, the path of righteousness declined while demons flourished, with Black Wind reigning; his name could stop a child's crying, make bandits bow their heads, and both the righteous and underworld submitted to his demonic might.

Aside from the Celestial Law-Controlling Sect and Yuncang Sword Sect of that time, which had Celestial Humans holding fort, nearly all renowned large sects and prestigious families of the world were visited by him. His martial arts were exceedingly high, his combat power unmatched, nearly invincible among those of the same tier.

Even before breaking through to a Celestial Human, the Heaven-Suppressing King engaged with this old demon seven times, ending in neither victory nor defeat.

The contemporary King Xiang, after three hundred seventy-nine rounds of battle with him, was defeated in one move, suffering serious injuries.

Once, King Wu had his mansion breached by him at night, where dozens of his guards were killed, yet he left unscathed.

He entered and exited King Chu's mansion five times, even abducting the former Princess Consort. This event was considered a great humiliation by the then King Chu, who passed away depressed years later. His son took the throne, rising to dominance in the South in just decades, later breaking through to Celestial Human, claiming the title of contemporary foremost.

Yet, after King Chu became a Celestial Human, he did not eliminate Black Wind Ridge. Some say this was because King Chu once secretly stormed Black Wind Ridge but was unable to deal with Black Wind Ancestor. Others say King Chu was not of the Chu royal bloodline but born of the defilement of the Princess Consort by Black Wind Ancestor.

Back then, various forces initiated dozens of encirclements, each time utterly destroying Black Wind Mountain Stronghold, yet Black Wind Ancestor eluded capture.

Whenever he reappeared in the Martial World, he mercilessly slaughtered the encircling parties, claiming thousands of lives.

Eventually, the righteous path had to compromise with him, and after many negotiations, an agreement was privately made to annually send immense resources to Black Wind Mountain, acknowledging its position in the Underworld.

From then on, Black Wind Mountain became famous throughout the world, respected as a demonic lair and holy land of the Green Forest, with Black Wind Ancestor rising as the foremost figure in the Underworld.

Sixty years ago, he was already a Half-Step Celestial Human and claimed to be invincible at the same realm. Some even said this old demon could battle across levels, reversing the course against Celestial Humans.

There were rumors that the Celestial Human from Cyan Cloud Peak of Yuncang Sword Sect once descended the mountain to seek this old demon, and although he defeated him, he escaped with his life.

Though the truth of this matter is unknown, one can see how monstrous the talent of this old demon was.

Sixty years have passed now, and no one knows the extent of his cultivation today.

Seven days ago, emissaries from various forces were expelled from Jade Dragon Mountain, only to be issued a Black Wind Token by the Yin Bat Envoy of Black Wind Ridge. Once this token surfaced, it weighed heavily on the leaders of various forces.

No matter how unwilling they were, they had to attend the meeting at the time and place specified in the token.

Otherwise, no matter how they reigned on regular days, they could face ruin in the blink of an eye.

At this time, the old beggar from the Beggar Gang spoke while eyeing the middle-aged scholar sitting at the desk.

The middle-aged man with the look of a scholar seemed startled by the voice, slowly coming back from the bamboo slip, casting his eyes toward the crowd.

This was indeed the master of demonic might, the Master of Black Wind Mountain, the current foremost of the Underworld?

Yet this underworld overlord appeared nothing like a ferocious demon, dressed in a blue cloth scholar's robe, wearing a squared cap, holding a bamboo slip, looking every bit like a gentle and refined scholar.

However, all present, except for the young Daoist, were extremely fearful of this middle-aged scholar, not daring to look at him for fear of inviting disaster upon themselves.

If possible, they would have avoided any association with Black Wind Ancestor. If it weren't for that Black Wind Token, no one would wish to have contact with this old demon.

But recalling this old demon's past reputation, even if they were unwilling, they still obediently arrived at the place appointed by the Black Wind Token.
