Shocking World War Emperor-Chapter 476: Dark Night Lord

"Yes!"

Liu Qingcang nodded: "Not long ago, I received a message that our lord in the Dark Night has finished his seclusion, and he wants to summon all Dark Night Sons."

The true ruler of the Dark Night, referred to by its members as the lord.

"Alright."

Ling Chen nodded helplessly, "Two days should be enough, right?"

Upon joining the Dark Night, one naturally loses some freedom in exchange for its protection.

He, as a Dark Night Son, of course, couldn’t decline the summon from the Dark Night Lord.

If he could return shortly, he would have the opportunity to enter the Ghost Palace with Zhang Yan and investigate news about his father.

"I’m not sure."

Liu Qingcang shook his head and said, "Nothing was mentioned about the duration. But I suppose, the lord would like to meet you all!"

Ling Chen nodded and said, "Then let’s hurry over."

There was no need to waste time here.

"Mm."

Liu Qingcang nodded, took out the Transmission Jade Token, and activated the teleportation.

The scenery in front of them changed, and after a moment of dizziness, they arrived within the Dark Realm.

Ling Chen, familiar with the process, took out the Human Skin Mask and put it on. After changing into the attire of a Dark Night Son, he entered Dark Night City.

However, Liu Qingcang didn’t follow him in.

"Lord Seventeen Son, the Dark Night Lord has requested your direct audience in the main hall, please follow me."

As soon as he entered the city gates, someone came to lead the way.

"Mm."

Ling Chen nodded.

Before long, they reached the main hall.

At that moment, dozens of people were gathered inside the main hall.

The four Shuras, and all the Dark Night Sons were present.

However, all of them were standing below.

Atop the main seat was an elder-like man with a celestial presence.

He had the appearance of a young crane and was glowing with radiance.

It was the ruler of the Dark Night, known to the outside world as the Dark Night Lord, Ji Wuya!

"Meeting the lord!"

Upon entering the great hall, Ling Chen immediately bowed towards the elder.

"Seventeen, is it? You may dispense with the formalities."

Ji Wuya stroked his white beard and nodded in satisfaction.

"Thank you, lord."

Ling Chen then stood up.

"Alright, now that everyone is here. I’ve summoned you today partly to meet the two newly emerged Dark Night Sons. The second reason is to determine my successor as the Dark Night Young Master."

Ji Wuya said with a smile.

"Young Master?"

The crowd stiffened slightly.

The four Shuras showed expressions of puzzlement.

Having just seen their lord, his complexion seemed far better than before. It appeared his internal dark injuries had almost healed.

Though he was no longer young, for those in the Palace Mansion Realm, he was at most in his prime. There was no immediate need to choose a successor.

Ling Chen was also taken aback and looked at the elder.

Although the man’s face was radiant, there was a subtle and strange scent of death emanating from his forehead.

Could it be that this man’s life was nearing its end?

The lord was the only Palace Mansion Realm King of the Dark Night and the mainstay against Great Xia, ensuring their survival.

If he were to perish, the future road for the Dark Night would be fraught with incredible danger.

His quest to rescue his father would become even more difficult.

And even if he rescued his father, they would have to spend most of their time hiding in the Dark Realm.

"Lord, don’t you think there’s a bit of a rush?"

An Xiuluo spoke up.

The other three Shuras nodded in agreement.

The way the lord spoke sounded as if he was arranging his affairs for what comes after.

"My mind is made up."

Ji Wuya waved his hand dismissively.

Then he looked at the crowd and said, "The position of the Dark Night Young Master will be decided among you eighteen Dark Night Sons."

"Your talents do not differ much, so it will come down to your strengths. The strongest among you will inherit the position of Young Master."

"While this might not be fair to some, given your varied ages, it’s the best method I can think of."

"Hmm, I’ll give you half a day to consider whether or not to participate in the competition for the Dark Night Sons. Come back in the afternoon, and we’ll start the trials for the Young Master position directly."

"Additionally, I want to remind you that the struggle for the position of Young Master involves

combat without any rules or restrictions. All methods are at your disposal. Therefore, some of

you Dark Night Sons with weaker cultivation levels need to think carefully."

"Numbers Seventeen and Eighteen, you two stay behind, the rest may leave."

"Yes."

The four Shuras then left with the sixteen other Dark Night Sons.

Only Ji Wuya, Ling Chen, and Xu Lin remained in the main hall.

Ji Wuya got up and walked down.

"The ones I owe the most are you two. You’ve joined Dark Night not long ago and now have to

compete for the position of Young Master – it’s most unfair to you."

Ji Wuya looked at them apologetically, "Therefore, if you have any requests, feel free to ask. I

will do my best to fulfill them!"

The other Dark Night Sons had at least one year of cultivation in Dark Night.

They had all been guided by powerhouses of Dark Night.

But these two had not had such opportunity.

"Good!"

Ling Chen nodded.

He just so happened to have a matter that required the Lord’s help.

"I have no requests."

Xu Lin, however, spoke up.

Having been accepted as a disciple by the Arrow God Liu Qingcang, he was already quite

satisfied.

For now, he had no other desires.

Of course, the position of Dark Night Young Master was probably out of his reach.

"You don’t need to rush your decision, think it over well!"

Ji Wuya said.

"Mm."

Both of them nodded.

"I have not yet met you two."

Ji Wuya said to Xu Lin, "You wait here for a moment."

Then he turned to Ling Chen, "Seventeen, come with me."

To prevent an incident where a captured Dark Night Son might implicate the others from happening

again, he would not allow the two of them to meet.

Ling Chen laughed, "My Lord, there’s no need to avoid this anymore. We have already recognized each

other. We are both now students of the Stellar Scholar Academic Palace."

Saying this, Ling Chen took off his mask.

Xu Lin also smiled and revealed his true face.

"Well, if you’ve already recognized each other, then there’s no need for me to do anything

extra."

Ji Wuya said with a smile.

His eyes fell on Ling Chen and he was taken aback.

The guy in front of him was too young.

He appeared to be only about seventeen or eighteen.

So young, yet his cultivation had reached the Sixth Layer of the Primordial Pill Realm,

even somewhat higher than Xu Lin, who looked to be in his twenties.

Moreover, this Ling Chen bore some resemblance to that man from the past.

"What is your name?"

Ji Wuya asked excitedly.

He had only recently come out of seclusion and had not yet seen information about these two new

Dark Night Sons.

"Ling Chen!"

Ling Chen smiled.

"Indeed!"

Ji Wuya nodded slightly.

Just as he suspected, this Ling Chen was likely a descendant of Ling Tianxing.

However, in front of Xu Lin, he did not mention Ling Tianxing.

"And you?"

Ji Wuya then looked at Xu Lin.

"Lord, my name is Xu Lin!"

Xu Lin replied respectfully.

"Good, well done!"

Ji Wuya nodded firmly.

At that moment, a message came through his token: "My Lord, should I bring you the files of these

two new Dark Night Sons now?"

"Bring them immediately!"

Ji Wuya replied through the transmission.

Soon, Star Shura entered the great hall.

When they saw Ling Chen and Xu Lin both revealing their true faces, they couldn’t help but be

stunned.

Dark Night Sons usually never show their true faces to each other; only a few high-ranking Dark

Night members like them knew.

Yet, why would the Lord allow the two to meet face to face with their true appearances?
