Chapter 1136: Chapter 555: Hall of Shadowy Figures, A Great Change in the World?_2

…

In the days that followed, the Luo Family and Liang Family began an in-depth investigation into the suddenly appearing “Hall of Shadowy Figures.”

They utilized all resources and strength, attempting to uncover the true nature and purpose of this mysterious force.

However, no matter how much effort they put in, they could not find any definite information about the “Hall of Shadowy Figures.”

This organization seemed to have emerged from the cracks in the stones, with no traceable history or background.

This left Luo Ping and the Great Elder of the Liang Family feeling even more uneasy and doubtful, questioning whether the “Hall of Shadowy Figures” truly existed, or if it was some kind of trap and deception?

Meanwhile, they also noticed some strange phenomena.

Specifically, ever since the appearance of those five emissaries, other forces and sects in the Northern Desolate Divine Continent had begun to behave unusually active and tense.

It was as if an invisible force was pushing them from the shadows, making them accelerate their pace of expansion and conquest.

This further assured Luo Ping and the Great Elder of the Liang Family that the emergence of the “Hall of Shadowy Figures” was absolutely connected to all of this in countless ways.

Thus, they decided to temporarily set aside the alliance matter with the “Hall of Shadowy Figures” and focus on dealing with the current situation and challenges.

They knew that only by first stabilizing their own footing and position could they stand and grow in the future storms.

Hence, the Luo Family and Liang Family began to intensify their expansion and conquest efforts, attempting to establish a larger force and influence in the Northern Desolate Divine Continent.

During this process, they encountered various difficulties and challenges.

Yet, they remained steadfast in their beliefs and goals, continuously moving forward…

Time slowly passed in the expansion and conquests of the Luo and Liang Families.

In the blink of an eye, several years had passed.

During these years, the Luo Family and Liang Family gradually became one of the top powers on the Northern Desolate Divine Continent.

Their strength and influence had reached an unprecedented level.

Under their rule, other small sects and forces on the Northern Desolate Divine Continent surrendered or submitted to them, becoming their vassals and allies.

However, just as they were about to reach their peak, the “Hall of Shadowy Figures,” which had disappeared for several years, reappeared in their sights…

On this day, Luo Ping and the Great Elder of the Liang Family were discussing future plans and strategies in the conference hall.

Suddenly, a disciple rushed in hurriedly, his face showing an expression of fear and anxiety.

He said tremblingly, “Family Head, Great Elder, something bad happened! A group of people suddenly arrived outside, claiming to be emissaries of the ‘Hall of Shadowy Figures,’ demanding to see you and the Great Elder immediately!”

Upon hearing this, Luo Ping and the Great Elder of the Liang Family felt a wave of shock and confusion. They exchanged a glance, then asked in unison, “‘Hall of Shadowy Figures’ emissaries? They’ve come again?”

The disciple nodded, “Yes, they are waiting outside the estate now.”

Luo Ping and the Great Elder of the Liang Family exchanged another look, a glint of decisiveness and determination flashing in their eyes.

They realized that this reappearance of the “Hall of Shadowy Figures” was definitely not a mere reunion or visit.

They must have an even more important purpose and plan.

Thus, they decided to personally go outside the estate to welcome those mysterious emissaries from the “Hall of Shadowy Figures” and see what news and surprises they brought this time…

Outside the estate, a chilling atmosphere enveloped the entire space.

Luo Ping and the Great Elder of the Liang Family walked out of the conference hall, and from a distance, saw the group of black-cloaked emissaries.

They were still dressed in black cloaks, their faces covered by masks, as if isolated from the world, mysterious and unpredictable.

Luo Ping and the Great Elder of the Liang Family maintained vigilance in their hearts, but outwardly, they stayed calm and composed, slowly approaching the group of emissaries.

The two parties stood still, and Luo Ping asked in a deep voice, “The emissaries have graced us again, may I ask what important matter you have?”

One of the emissaries stepped forward, his voice low and authoritative, “Luo Family Head, Elder Liang, we have come this time to finalize the alliance agreement with you.”

Luo Ping and the Great Elder of the Liang Family exchanged another glance, feeling a surge of tension in their hearts.

They knew, this reappearance of the “Hall of Shadowy Figures” was definitely not a simple reunion or visit; they must have even more important objectives and plans.

Luo Ping took a deep breath and said in a grave voice, “We are willing to hear your terms.”

The emissary smiled slightly, as if everything was under control, “Quite simple, we need your two families to fully cooperate with our actions and jointly confront the upcoming great world change.”

“Great world change?” Luo Ping and the Great Elder of the Liang Family frowned, their hearts filled with confusion and doubt.

They understood that this “great world change” would not be a simple natural disaster or chaos; otherwise, the “Hall of Shadowy Figures” would not treat it with such importance and tension.

The emissary nodded, seemingly aware of their doubts, “Yes, the great world change; it is a massive transformation involving the entire world, which will alter the existing order and rules. Only those with sufficient strength and wisdom can survive this transformation and possibly gain unprecedented power.”

Luo Ping and the Great Elder of the Liang Family looked at each other in silence, but their hearts were stirred by turbulent waves.

They knew that this “great world change” was both a huge opportunity and a huge challenge.

If they could seize this opportunity, they might truly soar into the sky, becoming one of the top forces in the world.

But they also understood that this opportunity was accompanied by immense risks and challenges.

If they failed, they might face total annihilation, and even the entire family might be destroyed.

Luo Ping took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, “We need time to consider.”

The emissary nodded, “Of course, we will give you time, but I hope you can make a decision soon, as the looming storm is drawing closer.”

With that, the five emissaries turned and disappeared on the spot, leaving Luo Ping and the Great Elder of the Liang Family looking at each other, filled with confusion and doubt.

They knew that this appearance of the “Hall of Shadowy Figures” was definitely not a mere coincidence or trap.

This force definitely possessed superhuman strength and wisdom, and they seemed to know all about the imminent “great world change.”

This forced them to reevaluate whether their plans and strategies were sufficiently complete and thorough.

In the days that followed, Luo Ping and the Great Elder of the Liang Family began to gather the core members of the family and sect for an emergency meeting to discuss countermeasures.

They decided to investigate and understand the “Hall of Shadowy Figures” more deeply to uncover the true nature and purpose of this mysterious force.

At the same time, they also intensified their external expansion and conquest efforts, attempting to establish a larger force and influence in the Northern Desolate Divine Continent.

However, as their investigation deepened, they uncovered an even more astounding secret…

The “Hall of Shadowy Figures” was somehow intricately connected to the legendary “Celestial Realm”!

This discovery shocked Luo Ping and the Great Elder of the Liang Family profoundly; they understood that the “Celestial Realm” was a mysterious and powerful existence, and legends say that only those who reached a certain realm and cultivation level could enter it.

And the fact that the “Hall of Shadowy Figures” had connections with the “Celestial Realm” meant that they were backed by an even more enormous force and resources!

This discovery further solidified Luo Ping and the Great Elder of the Liang Family’s determination to ally with the “Hall of Shadowy Figures.”

They knew it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity as well as a huge challenge.

But they also understood that only by allying with the “Hall of Shadowy Figures” and leveraging their strength and resources could they stand and develop in the forthcoming “great world change.”

Thus, the Luo Family and Liang Family prepared to fully cooperate with the “Hall of Shadowy Figures” actions to jointly confront the impending massive upheaval.

…

Approximately, three days later.

Still in Qingshi City, within the Luo Family Ancestral Land, in the room of the Luo Family Patriarch.

At this moment, Luo Ping, who was the current Patriarch of the Luo Family, sat calmly in the chief seat.

Meanwhile, Luo Yao, the Young Family Head of the Luo Family, sat somewhat bored beside Luo Ping.

Sipping tea, he silently waited.

Waiting for the people from the Hall of Shadowy Figures to arrive again.
