Summoning the Gods: Start by creating the Eternal Night.

Accompanied by a system notification, a bronze-colored light screen suddenly unfolded in the center of the hall, and the light dissipated.

A tall and straight figure appeared before everyone.

This man was dressed in ancient armor, with a resolute face and sharp, piercing eyes. He exuded a chilling aura of someone who had been through countless battles.

His cultivation level had reached the late stage of the Void Realm, making him comparable to Yao Li and the others.

Yuan Tiangang and the others' gazes sharpened. The fact that it could appear out of thin air in the Eternal Night Space meant that it was a powerful figure newly summoned by the monarch.

Ye Junlin looked at the person in front of him, and the system panel immediately appeared:

Name: Cao Mo

[Cultivation Level: Late Stage of Void Realm]

[Physique: Shadow Assassin]

[Technique: Shadow Technique]

[Martial Arts: 1. "Shadow Dagger Killing Technique" (One move with three variations, the dagger moves like a shadow, targeting vital points such as the throat and dantian, each move is deadly and impossible to defend against), 2. "Death Combat" (Secret technique, burns blood and qi for a short time to increase combat power by 30%, followed by a period of weakness)]

[Origin: A famous assassin from the State of Lu during the Spring and Autumn Period, he once kidnapped Duke Huan of Qi with a dagger, forcing him to return lost territory of Lu. He was renowned for his courage and resourcefulness.]

Loyalty: 100 (Absolutely trustworthy, willing to serve to the death)

"Cao Mo greets Your Majesty!"

Cao Mo knelt on one knee, his voice loud and clear, clasped his hands in a salute, and his eyes were full of sincerity.

Although he had just been summoned, he already understood his mission, and his respect and loyalty to Ye Junlin came from the bottom of his heart.

"Get up," Ye Junlin said, raising his hand to help her up, his tone calm.

"Now that you have joined my ranks, you are family. From now on, we shall work together with one heart and one mind to achieve great things."

"You, along with Nie Zheng, Zhuan Zhu, Yu Rang, Jing Ke, and Yao Li, are all one of the Eight Guardians of my Eternal Night Heaven, and your status is equal."

"Your subordinate obeys! From now on, as long as Your Majesty commands, I will brave mountains of knives and seas of fire without hesitation."

Cao Mo stood up in response, his posture upright, and stood to one side.

Upon hearing that he had just arrived in this world and was already on par with Nie Zheng and others, Cao Mo felt even more awe for Ye Junlin.

Then his gaze swept over Nie Zheng, Zhuan Zhu, Yu Rang and others, carrying a hint of mutual respect among fellow assassins, as well as a subtle rivalry between powerful individuals.

Nie Zheng stepped forward and laughed heartily:

"Brother Cao, what a spirit! With you joining us, we are like tigers with wings, and we will have no fear of any villains in Qingzhou City in the future!"

Cao Mo nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, "Brother Nie, you flatter me."

Ye Junlin watched the interaction between the two and felt quite satisfied.

Ye Junlin then said in his mind: "System, use special item *1".

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained 1 main bounty stele and 5 secondary bounty stele]

[Reward offered for the main monument]

Standing nine zhang tall, it was forged from a mixture of black iron and nether stone, with a specially crafted "immortal crystal membrane" covering its outer layer.

Attacks below the level of a terrestrial immortal cannot cause damage; a forced impact will only trigger a backlash, causing the attacker's spiritual energy to be devoured by the attacker.

The monument is divided into three sections:

The left section displays the bounties from the secondary stele (marked with name/characteristics, cultivation level, and number of spirit stones offered as a reward).

The central area has accepted the task (with the task taker's code).

The right section records the spirit stones to be extracted.

Features:

1. When accepting a mission, use your spiritual power to inscribe the word "Accept" next to the corresponding bounty. The main stele will automatically synchronize the acceptance information to the corresponding secondary stele, and the secondary stele will glow to alert the commissioner.

2. If the payment needs to be negotiated, a new amount can be engraved on the main stele, and the secondary stele will display it simultaneously. If the client agrees, it will be confirmed with spiritual power. The spirit stone will instantly be transferred from the secondary stele to the right area of ​​the main stele, and the recipient can collect it by sensing it with spiritual power.

3. After the task is completed, the person who accepted the task will carve "Completed" on the main stele, and the secondary stele will automatically display "Completed" in sync. The person who commissioned the task can see that the task has been completed through the secondary stele.

[Reward on Secondary Stele]

It stands 1.5 feet tall, made of the same material, and covered with an "immortal crystal membrane." It shares defensive properties with the main monument, making it indestructible by any attack and only retrievable by the higher-ups of the Eternal Night Heaven using their exclusive spiritual power.

Features:

1. The poster uses spiritual power to inscribe the target information (name/characteristics, cultivation level) and the number of spirit stones offered as a reward, and puts it into the corresponding spirit stone sample. The secondary stele lights up green to confirm the entry.

2. After the main stele accepts the task, the secondary stele will display "Accepted" and the acceptor's code. If there is a compensation to negotiate, the new amount will be displayed. The issuer confirms the transaction with spiritual power to complete the transaction, and the spirit stones will be automatically transferred to the main stele.

3. When the task is completed, the secondary monument displays "Completed" and erases all traces of the issuer; if someone attempts to crack or forcibly interfere, the secondary monument will release interfering light to block their detection and simultaneously warn the main monument.

Linkage mechanism:

When the main stele accepts or completes a high-value mission (more than ten million low-grade spirit stones), raindrop-shaped spiritual light condenses on the top of the stele, resonating with the concealment array of the Fine Rain Pavilion, making the aura of the entire pavilion even more difficult to detect.

The main and secondary monuments are connected by an "immortal crystal membrane." If one is impacted, the other will simultaneously send a warning, forming a joint defense.

Ye Junlin looked at the introduction on the system panel, and a bright light flashed in his eyes. He couldn't suppress the smile on his lips.

He raised his hand and waved it, and a powerful spiritual force surged from his palm, reaching deep into the Eternal Night Space.

The next moment, with a low hum, a colossal, nine-zhang-tall, jet-black stele appeared out of thin air in the center of the hall.

The monument was shrouded in a faint, eerie chill, and its surface, covered in an immortal crystalline film, shimmered with a subtle, flowing light under the lamplight, making it clear that it was indestructible.

The left side of the giant monument was empty, and the central and right sections were also spotless. Only the intricate patterns engraved on the monument's body faintly revealed a mysterious power.

Following closely behind, five secondary steles, each 1.5 feet tall, appeared one after another, arranged in a staggered manner around the main stele, echoing the main stele from afar and forming a unified whole.

Ye Junlin walked slowly to the main monument, gently stroked its cold, hard surface, and said in a clear voice:

"Gentlemen, this is called the main bounty monument, and the ones on the side are the secondary bounty monuments. There are five in total. These are powerful tools that I have tailored for the Misty Rain Pavilion, a subordinate force of the Eternal Night World."

He pointed to the three sections of the main monument and patiently explained:

"The left side of this stele will simultaneously display all bounty information from the secondary steles, including the target's name, characteristics, cultivation level, and the number of spirit stones offered as a reward."

"The central area record indicates that the mission has been accepted, but only the acceptor's code name is recorded, not their real name."

"The right section is where you store the spirit stones that you will collect after completing the mission."

Nie Zheng and the others listened intently, their eyes fixed on the surface of the stele, afraid of missing any detail.

"Clients do not need to visit in person. They only need to use their spiritual power to inscribe the target information and the reward spirit stones on any of the secondary monuments, and put in a spirit stone sample. The secondary monument will then automatically record it."

Ye Junlin continued, "When you accept a mission, you only need to use your spiritual power to carve the words 'Accept' next to the corresponding bounty on the main monument."

"The secondary marker will then display 'Accepted' and your code name will appear, eliminating the need to meet with the client."

"If you feel that the reward spirit stones are not enough, you can inscribe a new amount on the main stele, and the secondary stele will transmit it to the commissioner simultaneously."

"Once the other party agrees, the spirit stones will be instantly transferred to the right section of the main monument, and you can collect them at any time."

"Once the task is completed, carve the character '毕' (meaning 'finished'). The secondary stele will then provide feedback to the client and erase all traces."
