Summoning the Gods: Start by creating the Eternal Night.

"I accepted the commission without first ascertaining the power behind the other party. I beg Your Majesty to punish me accordingly."

Jing Ke stepped forward, knelt on one knee, and spoke in a deep, steady voice.

Yao Li also pleaded, "Your Majesty, I was also involved in this matter. If you must punish someone, punish me as well."

Upon hearing this, Ye Junlin paused slightly in the rhythm of his fingertips tapping the armrest of the black jade chair, his eyes as deep and unfathomable as an abyss.

Mo Chen was already in the mid-stage of the Void Realm ten years ago, with three Grandmasters as his personal guards, and an unfathomable power behind him.

This first mission truly demonstrates the immense strength of the Eternal Night Heaven.

The more powerful the target, the more renowned the name of the Rain Pavilion, a force under the Yongye Heaven, will become infamous throughout the Great Qian Dynasty.

His gaze slowly swept over Jing Ke and Yao Li inside the hall.

"Get up. You have done nothing wrong. The Fine Rain Pavilion does need to make a name for itself by assassinating such a fearsome person."

"Moreover, we, the Eternal Night Heaven, are fearless, and no force can make us back down."

Ye Junlin secretly pondered that with the system at his side, as long as there was a continuous flow of resources, he could summon experts to come and help him.

So what's there to be afraid of? Even if they temporarily offend a top-tier power, if they can't beat them, they can just hide in another dimension, and no one can find them.

"Zhuan Zhu, Yu Rang." Ye Junlin's voice was cold, yet carried an undeniable command.

"You two will accompany Jing Ke and Yao Li on this assassination attempt on Mo Chen."

"Remember, do not linger in battle. Once you have achieved a decisive victory, retreat immediately."

Upon hearing this, Zhuan Zhu and Yu Rang's eyes flashed with a cold light, and they replied in unison, "Your subordinates obey!"

Ye Junlin's gaze then turned to Nie Zheng, his tone softening slightly: "Nie Zheng, you will stay by my side for now."

The long sword on Nie Zheng's back resembled an enraged dragon, letting out a soft hum as if to show its loyalty to its master.

He bowed respectfully, and without uttering a single superfluous word, succinctly replied, "Your subordinate understands."

He knew that a monarch needed an invincible sword by his side to protect him at all times.

Then, Zhuan Chu distributed the storage rings and tokens to Jing Ke and Yao Li, like a celestial maiden scattering flowers.

The two of them gripped the token tightly, as if they were holding a priceless treasure.

Ye Junlin raised his eyes, his gaze sweeping over the five people like a hawk's, and spoke calmly:

"Take this Blood Slaughter Technique. In the future, those recruited into the Fine Rain Pavilion can practice this technique."

"Those who cultivate can use killing intent and blood to cultivate. The stronger the expert they kill, the faster their cultivation speed will be, like a storm, unstoppable."

"Moreover, cultivators will unknowingly become extremely loyal to our Eternal Night Heaven."

Once betrayed, one will be like a venomous snake that has turned on its master, certain to die.

The five looked up at Ye Junlin, their eyes filled with astonishment, as if they had seen a rare and precious treasure.

They never imagined that such a wonderful martial arts technique existed in the world, meaning they would no longer have to worry about their subordinates betraying them.

"We will certainly not fail in our mission and will glorify the name of Eternal Night!"

The five men stood side by side, their murderous auras intertwined and shooting straight up to the top of the hall, dimming the light of the few dim lamps.

Looking at the five unsheathed blades before him, Ye Junlin finally managed a cold smile.

"Alright, from now on, our Eternal Night Heaven dimensional space will be called the 'Eternal Night Space'."

"Now I'm moving it over the canyon outside Qingzhou City, so you can enter from there later."

Ye Junlin silently called upon the system. His current strength was too weak to control movement within the Eternal Night Space.

"System, move the Eternal Night Space to the sky above the canyon outside Qingzhou City."

[Ding! Command received, commencing movement, moving... has reached designated location] The system's cold voice sounded.

Then everyone felt a slight ripple in space, and then nothing more. It was practically teleportation.

"Go." Ye Junlin waved his hand. "We are now in the canyon outside Qingzhou City. The four of you, go and complete the mission immediately."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The four bowed respectfully, then their figures flickered and disappeared from the palace like ghosts, heading towards the exit of the Eternal Night Space.

"System, view personal panel"

[Ding, instruction received]

[Host: Ye Junlin]

[Realm Level]: Early Grandmaster Stage

[Cultivation Technique]: Supreme Divine Demon Scripture (Unparalleled Level)

[Martial Arts Skills]: "Ye Family Thirteen Styles" (Minor Mastery), "Shadow Seven Kills" (Unlearned)

[Items]: 20 Eternal Night Heavenly Decree, 5 Storage Rings, 100 million Low-grade Spirit Stones.

[Summoned Characters]: Jing Ke (Late Stage of Void Realm), Yao Li (Mid Stage of Void Realm), Nie Zheng (Late Stage of Void Realm), Zhuan Chu (Mid Stage of Void Realm), Yu Rang (Mid Stage of Void Realm)

"Huh? Jing Ke has broken through to the late stage of the Void Realm."

As expected of the renowned assassin summoned by the system, he broke through a minor realm so quickly, his potential far exceeding his expectations.

Meanwhile, the four people who had just left the Eternal Night Space stood in the canyon, all marveling at Ye Junlin's methods, which allowed him to instantly teleport the Eternal Night Space from Qingfeng City to the outskirts of Qingzhou City.

Then, Jing Ke, one of the group, said, "The three of you, it will take about half a day to get to Luoxia City from here. Tonight, we will take action directly on Luoxia City."

"Furthermore, Mo Chen was already in the mid-stage of the Void Realm ten years ago, and may have broken through to the late stage. However, the fact that the four of us made a move is really overestimating him."

The three of them shared the same feeling; killing a master of the same level at the Void Realm would be an easy task for them.

Although they appeared to be only at the mid-stage of the Void Realm, their strength was in no way inferior to that of a peak Void Realm expert.

Seeing that the others had spoken, Jing Ke then made a suggestion.

"How about this, I'll handle Mo Chen, and then you can deal with the rest of the City Lord's Mansion."

"We'll act quickly, gather the city lord's resources, and then leave to avoid being discovered by the Great Qian Dynasty."

The three stepped forward and said to Jing Ke, "Very good. This is our first mission, and we must complete it perfectly."

"Otherwise, even if the monarch does not blame us, we will have no face to face the monarch."

"Alright, let's go!"

Once the four had made their decision, they sped off towards Luoxia City.

.......

Sunset City, City Lord's Mansion.

"Someone actually dared to accept the mission to assassinate me, unafraid of death."

"Looks like I haven't killed enough people over the years, now even the most insignificant Tom, Dick, and Harry dare to provoke me."

Mo Chen stared at the intelligence report in his hand. His intelligence agent had sent word that a force called Xiyulou was trying to take his life.

A few years ago, he had a bounty on his head, but none of the people who came were from top assassin organizations, so Mo Chen stopped paying attention to it.

Besides, with their hands stained with blood, who hasn't fought their way to their current position through countless battles and bloodshed, and who doesn't have countless enemies?

The fact that someone posted a bounty on the black market to kill you just shows that the other party is not strong enough. If they were strong, they would have come to assassinate you themselves.

Alternatively, one could hire two major assassin organizations, Mo Yuan and Blood Slaughter Pavilion, to kill oneself.

Mo Chen said in a deep voice:

"Whoever comes this time must die. I want to see who will dare to assassinate me in the future."

Luoxia City is a well-known city in the Eastern Region, several times larger than Qingfeng City, where the Ye family is located.

Rumors circulate that the city lord of Luoxia City is the son of a high-ranking member of a sect.

After breaking through to the Void Realm, he became the city lord of Luoxia City only with the help of his sect.
