For a time, because of the blood wash dealt to the Luoxia City Lord's Mansion, Qingzhou saw its winds and clouds shift dramatically.
Major factions all took action, investigating the matter either openly or in secret to probe the background of the mysterious Misty Rain Tower.
Meanwhile, the name of Misty Rain Tower also quietly surfaced within the intelligence networks of other top factions in the Eastern Region, carried by all sorts of speculations.
Although no one knew the specific strength of Misty Rain Tower, nor had anyone fathomed its background,
everyone knew that this abruptly appearing mysterious organization dared to kill people from the Qingyun Sect,
and even dared to leave behind the name of its faction—it had to be something beyond the reach of ordinary factions.
The peace of Qingzhou had been thoroughly shattered.
A storm sweeping across Qingzhou was quietly brewing.
Within the Eternal Night Space, in the Eternal Night Heaven palace.
Ye Junlin sat atop the Mysterious Jade Chair, listening to Jing Ke's report without a ripple on his face.
He had long known that slaying Mo Chen would inevitably provoke a shock among the major factions of Qingzhou, the Qingyun Sect most of all.
Yet he did not care.
With Yuan Tiangang, an expert of the Late Heaven Human, holding down the fort, and five Void Glimpse Realm assassins including Jing Ke, Eternal Night Heaven had enough to stand its ground in Qingzhou.
"Lord, the Qingyun Sect has already begun investigating this matter. I'm afraid they will track us down very soon," Jing Ke said in a deep voice, a trace of vigilance flashing in his eyes.
Ye Junlin gave a faint smile, his gaze shifting to Yuan Tiangang who stood to one side, and asked, "Marshal, what are your thoughts?"
Yuan Tiangang bowed slightly, his voice low and powerful: "Reporting to the Lord, strong though the Qingyun Sect may be, I am not afraid."
"If they dare to come and offend us, it will just give them a taste of Eternal Night Heaven's might!"
A sharp gleam flashed in Yuan Tiangang's eyes. "This subordinate is willing to go and settle Qingzhou with a single battle!"
Ye Junlin nodded with satisfaction, a sharp radiance flashing through his eyes: "Good! Since they want to play, we will accompany them to the end!"
"Then you should all preserve your strength and make preparations for battle!"
"I want the entire Qingzhou to know that the Misty Rain Tower under my Eternal Night Heaven is not something just anyone can provoke!"
As his voice fell, Ye Junlin tapped his fingertips lightly against the armrest of the Mysterious Jade Chair,
while a thought suddenly swept across his mind—the reward for completing the bounty mission of slaying Mo Chen this time was one million Low-grade Spirit Stones,
plus those mountains of resources plundered from the Luoxia City Lord's Mansion, which still hadn't been dealt with.
Among these items, quite a few were useless weapon-refining scrap materials and incomplete low-grade pills,
as well as some remnant cultivation manuals that Eternal Night Heaven had no use for. Rather than letting them occupy storage space, it would be better to convert them into system energy points, which might just allow him to draw some more assistance.
With a movement of his mind, Ye Junlin directly summoned the system panel in his mind: "System, convert all of the one million Low-grade Spirit Stones obtained from this bounty mission, along with all the useless resources plundered from the Luoxia City Lord's Mansion, into energy points."
[Ding! Detected one million Low-grade Spirit Stones, meeting conversion conditions.]
[Ding! Detected useless resources from the Luoxia City Lord's Mansion: low-grade weapon-refining scrap materials ×300, discarded remnant cultivation manuals ×57, incomplete pills ×120, low-grade magic tools ×15... Packaging complete.]
A cold mechanical voice rang out in his mind. Ye Junlin waited quietly for a moment, and then heard the system's prompt sound once more.
[Ding! One million Low-grade Spirit Stones converted, obtaining 10,000 points of energy!]
[Ding! Useless resources from the Luoxia City Lord's Mansion packaged and converted, obtaining 13,500 points of energy!]
[Ding! System's original remaining energy 2,000 points, current total energy points: 25,500 points!]
Looking at the jumping numbers on the panel, the corners of Ye Junlin's mouth curved slightly upward.
Twenty-five thousand five hundred points of energy were enough to initiate a Silver Grade ten-consecutive draw,
and still leave five hundred points of energy that could be used to raise his own cultivation. Actually, he very much wanted to use energy points to raise his cultivation,
but he was in such dire need of drawing figures to provide assistance that he dismissed this thought, relying on his own cultivation instead and planning to utilize the system energy for cultivation only after things stabilized.
The rewards of a Silver Grade draw were far more bountiful than those of a Bronze Grade; not only was there a possibility of drawing high-grade weapons and pills, but there was also a chance of obtaining a Nirvana Realm Summoning Card, which was precisely what the present Eternal Night Heaven needed most.
"System, consume 25,000 points of energy to open a Silver Grade ten-consecutive draw!" Without the slightest hesitation, Ye Junlin issued the command directly.
[Ding! Consumed 25,000 points of energy, opening a Silver Grade ten-consecutive draw!]
[Draw starting...]
Ye Junlin's gaze locked tightly onto the virtual roulette wheel in front of him as it spun at high speed.
Amidst flashing silver radiance, the pointer swept past grid after grid engraved with treasure patterns.
A moment later, the roulette wheel slowly ground to a halt, and a string of notification sounds rang out densely, like a melodious piece of music.
[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining 100 High-grade Spirit Stones! (Note: System special bonus, cannot be converted into energy points)]
[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining a Silver Grade Summoning Card ×1!]
[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining Breaking Mirror Pill (Void Glimpse Realm) ×5! Note: Void Glimpse Realm cultivators who consume this can advance by a small realm without side effects, but only the first pill is effective; multiple doses are ineffective.]
[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the Earth-grade Weapon White Dragon Spear ×1!]
[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining a Silver Grade Summoning Card ×1!]
[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining a Misty Rain Tower exclusive pavilion!]
[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining...]
When the final prompt sound fell, Ye Junlin was slightly startled, and immediately intense surprise flashed through his eyes.
He hurried to check the details of the Misty Rain Tower pavilion, and clear information immediately emerged on the system panel:
