With a system prompt, a bronze-colored light screen suddenly unfurled in the center of the grand hall, and the light faded.
A tall, upright figure appeared before everyone's eyes.
This person was clad in ancient armor, with a resolute face and eyes as sharp as knives. A chilling aura, honed by countless battles, emanated from him.
His cultivation fluctuation had reached the late Void Glimpse stage, comparable to Yao Li and the others.
Yuan Tiangang and the others' gazes sharpened. Appearing out of thin air in the Eternal Night Space, this was clearly a powerful individual newly summoned by the Lord.
Ye Junlin looked at the person before him, and the system panel immediately appeared:
[Name: Cao Mo] [Cultivation: Late Void Glimpse] [Physique: Shadow Concealment Kill Body] [Cultivation Technique: Shadowy Art] [Martial Skills: 1. Instant Shadow Dagger Kill Technique (Three variations in one move, dagger strikes like a shadow, targeting the throat, Dantian, and other vital points; each move is fatal and difficult to defend against), 2. Desperate Battle (Secret technique, burns qi and blood for a short period 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, who once held Duke Huan of Qi hostage with a dagger, forcing him to return the lost territory of Lu. Known throughout the world for his courage and boldness.] [Loyalty: 100 (Absolute conviction, willing to die in service)]
"Cao Mo greets the Lord!"
Cao Mo knelt on one knee, his voice as loud as a bell. He cupped his fists in greeting, his eyes filled with sincerity.
Although he had just been summoned, he already understood his mission, and his reverence and loyalty to Ye Junlin were heartfelt.
"Rise," Ye Junlin said, raising his hand as if to help him up, his tone gentle.
"Now that you are under my Eternal Night banner, you are one of us. From now on, you shall work with everyone to achieve great things."
"You are one of the Eight Guards of my Eternal Night Heaven, just like Nie Zheng, Zhuan Zhu, Yu Rang, Jing Ke, and Yao Li. Your status is equal."
"Your subordinate obeys! From now on, as long as the Lord commands, I will go through any hardship without hesitation."
Cao Mo rose to his feet, standing tall and straight to the side.
Hearing that he could stand alongside Nie Zheng and the others upon arriving in this world, Cao Mo felt even more reverence for Ye Junlin.
Then, his gaze swept over Nie Zheng, Zhuan Zhu, Yu Rang, and the others. There was a sense of camaraderie among them as fellow assassins, as well as a silent rivalry between powerful individuals.
Nie Zheng stepped forward and laughed heartily:
"Brother Cao has great spirit! With your joining us, we are like a tiger with wings. From now on, we will fear no one in Qingzhou City!"
Cao Mo nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, "Brother Nie flatters me."
Ye Junlin watched their interaction, feeling extremely satisfied.
Ye Junlin then thought to himself, "System, use Special Item *1."
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining Bounty Master Stele 1 * Sub-Stele *5] [Bounty Master Stele] Nine zhang high, cast from Black Iron Nether Stone, with the system's specially made "Immortal Crystal Membrane" on the outer layer. Attacks below the Land Immortal realm cannot damage it. Forced impact will only trigger a backlash, reflecting the attacker's spiritual energy back onto themselves. The stele surface is divided into three zones: Left zone displays bounties from sub-steles (listing name/features, cultivation, bounty amount in spirit stones). Middle zone lists accepted missions (with the acceptor's codename). Right zone records spirit stones awaiting extraction. Functions: 1. When accepting a mission, carve the word "Accept" next to the corresponding bounty with spiritual energy. The Master Stele will automatically sync the acceptance information to the corresponding Sub-Stele, and the Sub-Stele will light up to notify the client. 2. If a reward negotiation is needed, a new amount can be carved on the Master Stele, which will be synced to the Sub-Stele. If the client agrees, they confirm with spiritual energy, and the spirit stones are instantly transferred from the Sub-Stele to the Master Stele's right zone, where the acceptor can sense and extract them with spiritual energy. 3. Upon mission completion, the acceptor carves "Complete" on the Master Stele. The Sub-Stele will automatically sync and display "Complete." The client can see the mission is completed via the Sub-Stele. [Bounty Sub-Stele] One zhang and five chi high, made of the same material, with an "Immortal Crystal Membrane" on the outer layer, sharing the same defensive properties as the Master Stele. Any attack cannot damage it and can only be retrieved by high-ranking Eternal Night Heaven members using exclusive spiritual energy. Functions: 1. The publisher carves the target's information (name/features, cultivation) and the bounty amount in spirit stones with spiritual energy, and places a sample of the corresponding spirit stones. The Sub-Stele lights up with a green glow to confirm the entry. 2. After acceptance by the Master Stele, the Sub-Stele displays "Accepted" and the acceptor's codename. If there is a reward negotiation, the new amount will be displayed. The publisher confirms with spiritual energy to complete the transaction, and the spirit stones are automatically transferred to the Master Stele. 3. Upon mission completion, the Sub-Stele displays "Complete" and erases all traces of the publisher. If anyone attempts to crack or forcibly interfere, the Sub-Stele will release interfering spiritual light, blocking their investigation and syncing a warning to the Master Stele. Linkage Mechanism: When the Master Stele accepts or completes high-value missions (over ten million Low-grade Spirit Stones), a raindrop-shaped spiritual light condenses at the top of the stele, resonating with the Misty Rain Tower's hidden grand formation, making the entire tower's aura even harder to detect. Due to the "Immortal Crystal Membrane," the Master and Sub-Steles are connected. If one is impacted, the other will synchronously feedback a warning, forming a joint defense.
Ye Junlin's eyes instantly lit up as he read the system panel's introduction, and he couldn't suppress the smile on his lips.
He waved his hand, and a surge of powerful spiritual energy erupted from his palm, heading directly into the depths of the Eternal Night Space.
The next moment, with a low hum, a nine-zhang-high, dark-black giant stele materialized in the center of the grand hall.
Faint Netherworld cold air swirled around the stele's body, and the Immortal Crystal Membrane on its surface shimmered with a faint, flowing light under the illumination of the lamps, making it obvious at a glance that it was indestructible.
The left side of the giant stele was empty. The middle and right zones were also clean, with only intricate patterns carved on the stele, exuding a mysterious power.
