The autumn wind blows through the mountains and passes over the layers of green pines and ancient cypresses in Longhu Mountain.

The wooden door of the stone house on Suoxin Cliff slowly opened, and Hu Jiulang stood on the edge of the cliff dressed in black, his figure as tall as a pine tree on the cliff.After sitting in seclusion for seven days, he didn't drink a drop of water or touch a grain of rice, but his figure didn't look haggard. Instead, there was an increasingly condensed coldness lingering around him.

The pair of eyes that used to be insightful of yin and yang, with a bit of casual indifference, now only have a frozen indifference, and there is an obsession and loneliness hidden deep in the eyes.

The lingering sound of the Heavenly Master's bell gradually faded away, and the strong mountain wind made his black clothes rustle.

The Taoist boy at the foot of the mountain quickly climbed up to Suoxin Cliff, bowed his head, and said in a respectful tone: "Senior Brother Jiulang, the Heavenly Master has ordered you to go to the Heavenly Master's main hall immediately to discuss matters. You have an important earthly responsibility entrusted to you."

Hu Jiulang nodded slightly, without saying anything. He picked up the black cloth bag containing the talisman, compass and Yang Tong's broken amulet, and stepped towards the bluestone mountain road.

His steps were neither fast nor slow, and every step he took landed on the ground was steady and heavy, as if he had trampled all the past of the world and the love between his children under his feet.

All the way through the Taoist temple complex, the disciples of Longhu Mountain who were passing by along the way stopped to salute, their eyes full of awe.Everyone could see that Hu Jiulang changed after seven days of seclusion.A little less worldly and gentle, but a little more fierce and murderous like a Taoist monk. Keep away from strangers.

Not long after, they arrived at the main hall of the Heavenly Master again.

There was incense in the hall, and the white-haired Heavenly Master was sitting on the futon with a solemn expression.On one side stood Lin Jia, a smart man in white clothes, standing quietly. When he saw Hu Jiulang walking into the palace door, a trace of complicated emotions flashed across his eyes, including worry, regret, and a trace of relief.

This was the first time she had seen such a cold and distant Hu Jiulang. He had completely lost the casual fortune-telling and occasional joking look he had in the Magic City Gua Shop.

Hu Jiulang walked to the center of the hall, bowed and saluted: "Master."

The Heavenly Master raised his eyes, his turbid eyes fell on him, and slowly spoke: "After seven days of seclusion, the cracks in the heart of the Tao were not completely healed, but the inner demons were suppressed. The disaster in the north is coming. The Japanese Onmyoji, Jiuju Faction, and Koga Ninja secretly penetrated into the Changbai Mountains in the northeast, coveting the Chinese dragon vein earth energy, setting up evil formations, killing the monks with supernatural powers, and disturbing the lives outside the gate."

After a pause in his words, the Tianshi's tone suddenly became solemn: "Bureau 749 is unable to control the evil spirits outside the territory on its own, and all the major sects have no choice but to shoulder the responsibility. Today, I give you orders to go down the mountain for the second time and rush to the northeast to assist Bureau 749 in calming down the chaos and guarding the mountains and rivers outside the pass."

Hu Jiulang lowered his eyes and said in a calm voice: "Disciple, I obey."

He had expected this fate.

That day in Guapu, the capital city, he observed the stars at night and deduced numerology, and noticed that the evil energy in the north was soaring to the sky and the dragon veins were moving strangely. He was just deeply involved in the grief of Yang Tong's death and had no intention of intervening in the disputes of the world.Now that the master's order has been issued, his family and country are in front of him. As a descendant of the Longhu Mountain Celestial Master, he cannot avoid it and has no way to escape.

Lin Jia stepped forward in time and handed the top-secret intelligence dossier in his hand to Hu Jiulang: "Mr. Jiulang, this is all the information compiled by the 749 Bureau. The power distribution, magic characteristics, stronghold locations of the three Japanese sects, as well as the monitoring data of the dragon vein disorder in Changbai Mountain, are all recorded. I will accompany you throughout this mission to coordinate logistics and intelligence docking."

Hu Jiulang raised his hand to take the file, his fingertips were slightly cold, and he flipped through a few pages at random. Japanese spells, sacrifices to shikigami, Jiuju evil poison, Koga illusion assassination...the dense text and topographic maps made his eyes even colder.

These extraterrestrial evil ways have vicious and strange methods. They are based on living people to refine evil spirits and steal earth energy, and they have no bottom line in their actions.

"Where are the manpower?" Hu Jiulang said calmly.

Lin Jia replied: "Bureau 749 has recruited top strangers and sect monks from all over the country to form a special team, which will be assembled at the Jiangnan headquarters later. Here at Longhu Mountain, you are the only one recruited, and the Shenxiao sect will also send its direct disciples to accompany you to cooperate."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sound of Qing Yue's footsteps outside the hall, accompanied by a wisp of cold thunder aura coming towards his face.
