Summoning the Gods: Start by creating the Eternal Night.

at the same time

In the dimensional space, inside the palace.

Ye Junlin looked at the resources piled up like a small mountain in the hall with a cold gaze.

These are all things plundered from the Ye family, the accumulated wealth of the Ye family over generations, which are now being used to strengthen the power of Yongyetian.

"System, exchange all of the Ye family's spirit stones, pills, and cultivation manuals for energy points."

As soon as Ye Junlin finished speaking, the system's cold notification sounded in his mind.

[Low-grade spirit stones, profound-level cultivation techniques, healing pills, and other resources have been detected. A total of 10000 energy points can be obtained by redeeming these resources. Confirm redemption?]

"confirm."

With Ye Junlin's command, all the resources in the hall instantly transformed into streams of light and entered the system panel.

At the same time, the number of energy points began to surge.

[Exchange successful. Current energy point balance: 10000 (exchange received) + 2000 (task reward) = 12000 points.]

Ye Junlin looked at the numbers on the panel and nodded in satisfaction.

Twelve thousand energy points are enough for him to cause quite a stir.

"System, give me twenty bronze lottery draws."

Each Bronze Draw costs 500 Energy Points, for a total of 10000 Energy Points over twenty draws. Confirm?

"confirm."

[Congratulations, host! You have obtained the Supreme Mask 1!]

[Congratulations, host! You have obtained Bronze Summoning Card 1!]

[Congratulations, host! You have obtained 50 Eternal Night Heaven Exclusive Tokens!]

[Congratulations, host! You have obtained Bronze Summoning Card 1!]

[Congratulations, host! You have obtained storage ring 10!]

[Congratulations, host! You have obtained Bronze Summoning Card 1!]

[Congratulations, host! You have obtained Blood Slaughter Technique *1!]

[Congratulations, host! You have obtained 10 Breakthrough Pills!]

[The remaining lottery rewards, consisting of several low-grade spirit stones and poisoned daggers, have been automatically stored in the system inventory.]

After a series of notification sounds, several items appeared out of thin air in front of Ye Junlin.

He reached out and took everything in his hands, examining each item carefully.

Supreme Mask: It is entirely black, made of unknown material, and engraved with intricate patterns. When worn, it can conceal one's aura and alter one's true appearance. Even experts with cultivation levels four rank higher than oneself cannot detect one's true nature, making it the best choice for roaming the martial world.

The Eternal Night Heaven Exclusive Token: There are fifty tokens in total. Each token is engraved with the character "Night". The token is made of extremely hard material and contains a communication array, which can enable real-time communication between members of the Eternal Night Heaven within a range of five thousand miles.

Storage rings: There are ten in total. Each ring has a 1,000-cubic-meter space inside, enough to hold a huge amount of supplies. Moreover, after being bound to its owner by blood, it is not easy to lose.

Blood Slaughter Technique: Cultivators can train through killing intent and blood. The stronger the expert they kill, the faster their training speed. The expert will also become subtly loyal to the host. Once they betray the host, they will be killed by the backlash of the technique.

Breakthrough Pill (Grandmaster Level): After consumption, it allows a peak Grandmaster to break through to the Great Grandmaster realm without any side effects. A Great Grandmaster can advance one minor realm after consumption.

"Haha, with the Blood Slaughter Technique and Breakthrough Pill given by the system, setting up the Drizzle Pavilion will be much easier."

"We can use Breakthrough Pills to win over Grandmasters and then help them cultivate the Blood Slaughter Technique. Then we won't have to worry about them betraying us."

Ye Junlin was delighted to think that the system suited his needs perfectly, and then temporarily stored everything in the system space.

There were also three bronze summoning cards, shimmering with a faint light, which made Ye Junlin's eyes flash with a hint of anticipation.

"System, use three Bronze Summoning Cards!"

[Consuming three Bronze Summoning Cards, initiating the summoning of powerful beings from all realms...]

As the system notification faded, three figures appeared out of thin air in the palace.

The leader was a burly man with a resolute face. He wore a coarse cloth outfit and had a long sword at his waist. His eyes were sharp as knives, exuding an aura of fearlessness.

The man standing on the left was of medium build and had an ordinary face, looking like an ordinary person. However, he held a dagger in his hand, which gleamed with a cold light and exuded a deadly aura.

The man standing on the right was dressed in tattered clothes, with disheveled hair, exuding an air of vicissitude, yet his eyes were incredibly firm. In his hand, he held a rusty iron sword, revealing an indomitable will.

1. [Name]: Nie Zheng

[Cultivation Level]: Late Stage of Void Realm

[Technique]: Iron-Blooded Assassination Technique - Using killing to fuel killing, every strike is ruthless. When the technique is activated, a layer of iron-blooded murderous aura will surround the body, which can weaken the enemy's will.

[Martial Arts Skill]: "White Rainbow Piercing the Sun Sword" - A single sword thrust is like a white rainbow piercing the sun, as fast as lightning, and unstoppable. It targets the enemy's weaknesses and no one below the Void Realm can withstand it.

【Origin】: A top assassin during the Warring States period. To repay the kindness of Yan Zhongzi, he single-handedly stormed the residence of Han Xiang Xia Lei, killing dozens of people. After successfully assassinating Xia Lei, in order not to implicate his family, he disfigured himself, gouged out his eyes, and disemboweled himself to death. He was unparalleled in loyalty and righteousness.

Loyalty: 100% (System-bound, will never betray)

2. [Name]: Zhuan Zhu

[Cultivation Level]: Mid-stage Void Realm

【Technique】：《Fish Intestine Assassination Technique》—Hidden invisibly, concealing its sharpness, adept at disguising itself and blending into the environment, delivering a fatal blow when the enemy is most relaxed.

[Martial Arts Skill]: "Fish Intestine Sword Skill" - Used with a short dagger, the moves are cunning and ruthless. Combined with "Fish Intestine Assassination Technique", it is possible to take the head of an enemy general in the midst of a large army. It was with this skill that a dagger was hidden in the belly of a fish to successfully assassinate King Liao of Wu.

【Origin】: He was an assassin from the State of Wu during the Spring and Autumn Period. Entrusted by Prince Guang, he hid a dagger in the belly of a fish and assassinated King Liao of Wu at a banquet. After succeeding, he was hacked to death by King Liao's guards. He was extremely brave and fierce.

Loyalty: 100% (System-bound, will never betray)

3. [Name]: Yu Rang

[Cultivation Level]: Mid-stage Void Realm

[Technique]: "Charcoal-Swallowing Disfigurement Technique" - In order to assassinate a target, one can swallow charcoal to change their voice, paint their face to disfigure themselves, and conceal themselves. When the technique is activated, one can blend their aura into the dust, making them difficult for others to detect.

[Martial Arts Skill]: "Sword of a Scholar Who Will Die for One Who Understands Him" ​​- This sword skill has no fixed moves and is used at will. It contains the belief that "a scholar will die for one who understands him." When the sword is drawn, it will unleash power far exceeding one's own cultivation level, fighting life for life.

【Origin】: He was an assassin from the State of Jin during the Spring and Autumn Period. To repay the kindness of Zhi Boyao, he attempted to assassinate Zhao Xiangzi twice. After his first assassination failed, he disfigured himself by swallowing charcoal and painting his body with lacquer to change his appearance and voice. His second assassination also failed. He asked Zhao Xiangzi to take off his clothes and then drew his sword to cut off his clothes to show that he was avenging his master. He then committed suicide by sword, remaining loyal and righteous for all time.

Loyalty: 100% (System-bound, will never betray)

After the three figures appeared, they all bowed to Ye Junlin, their voices loud and clear, revealing a heartfelt respect: "Your subordinates Nie Zheng, Zhuan Zhu, and Yu Rang pay their respects to Your Majesty!"

Ye Junlin looked at the three people in front of him, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

Nie Zheng was in the late stage of the Void Realm, possessing formidable combat power and fearlessness in the face of death;

Zhuan Zhu was skilled in disguise and his assassination techniques were unpredictable and elusive.

Yu Rang was determined and was willing to disfigure himself in order to achieve his goal.

These three are all renowned top assassins in history. Their gathering in Eternal Night is undoubtedly a great boost to their strength!

"Please, everyone, no need for formalities." Ye Junlin waved his hand, his voice steady and powerful.

"From this day forward, the three of you will be one of the Eight Guards of Eternal Night, and also the Heavenly Assassins of the Drizzle Tower."

"To be ranked alongside Jing Ke and Yao Li, to jointly assist me in overseeing the assassinations of the Eternal Night Heaven!"

"Your subordinates obey!" the three replied in unison, their voices filled with fighting spirit.

Ye Junlin nodded, raised his hand and took out five storage rings and thirty Eternal Night Heaven tokens.

"These five storage rings, one for each of you three, to store supplies; the remaining two, you shall give to Jing Ke and Yao Li when you meet them."

"Take these thirty tokens. You can use them to recruit more members in the future and distribute them to your subordinates for easy communication."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Nie Zheng and the other two bowed together in gratitude.

Looking at the three top assassins before him, a sharp glint flashed in Ye Junlin's eyes.

"Now that Jing Ke and Yao Li have spread the word in Qingzhou City, they will likely receive requests soon."

Ye Junlin spoke slowly, his voice icy, "The three of you, be ready at any time. Once there is a task, carry it out!"

"I will let the entire Qingzhou know that the name of the Xiyu Tower under the command of Yongye Tian is synonymous with death!"

"I will obey the monarch's command!"

The three assassins responded in unison, their voices booming like thunder throughout the palace, their killing intent soaring to the heavens!

Meanwhile, in the black market of Qingzhou City, someone had already taken notice of the message released by Jing Ke and his group. An assassination commission that could alarm the entire city of Qingzhou was quietly brewing.
