Holy Mark Mask, Blood Pattern Ghost Mask

In the main hall, Jing Ke watched the departing figures and said to Nie Zheng:

"These ten people have good foundations. After a few months of training, they'll be sharp blades."

Nie Zheng chuckled, "With the Blood Slaughter Art and Shadow Art complementing each other, it won't take long for the Xuan-rank assassins to become the most feared name in the Eastern Region Black Market."

Jing Ke hummed and looked towards the Eternal Night Space, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes:

"The Lord will surely summon other powerful individuals later! We must work harder and not fall behind."

As the sunlight grew stronger, new strength was quietly growing within the Misty Rain Tower's stronghold.

And all of this was merely the prelude to the rise of Eternal Night Heaven.

Just as Jing Ke and Nie Zheng were talking, in the Eternal Night Space.

A system prompt suddenly sounded in Ye Junlin's mind.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the normal mission: Broadly Recruit Talented Individuals!]

[Mission Requirements: Within two months, recruit at least three cultivators above the Grandmaster Realm to join the Misty Rain Tower, a subordinate force of Eternal Night Heaven!]

[Mission Completion Status: Exceeded Requirements (Recruited five Grandmasters)!]

[Mission Reward Obtained: Special Item *1!]

Ye Junlin, who was comprehending the Heaven Slaying Sword Drawing Art in the Lord's Pavilion, had a smile flash in his eyes upon hearing the prompt.

He had been busy cultivating martial skills these past few days and had almost forgotten about the system missions.

"System, use the special item," he thought silently.

[Ding! Special item has been used. Congratulations to the host for obtaining: Holy Mark Mask *20, Blood Pattern Ghost Mask *50!]

As the prompt faded, the details of the items appeared on the light screen before Ye Junlin.

At the same time, seventy masks of different styles appeared out of thin air on the table before him.

[Holy Mark Mask:

Appearance: Forged from "Divine Gold," its surface flows with a milky white halo, hazy like morning mist. A diamond-shaped "World Purifying Crystal" is inlaid at the center of the forehead.

Core Functions:

1. Divine Purification: The mask emits golden light, clearing negative status effects every second. 2. Isolates divine sense probing from cultivators one major realm higher than the wearer. 3. Requires the wearer to drip essence blood to recognize the master. Once recognized, unless the wearer voluntarily removes it, no outsider can remove it under any circumstances (including death), completely concealing the wearer's true appearance.]

[Blood Pattern Ghost Mask:

Appearance: Bronze material, dark reddish-brown rust, vein-like patterns.

Core Functions:

1. Isolates divine sense probing from cultivators one major realm higher than the wearer. 2. Requires the wearer to drip essence blood to recognize the master. Once recognized, unless the wearer voluntarily removes it, no outsider can remove it under any circumstances (including death), completely concealing the wearer's true appearance.]

Ye Junlin looked at the seventy masks on the table, his eyes shining brighter.

The Holy Mark Mask was forged entirely from Divine Gold, its surface flowing with a soft, milky white halo, like swirling morning mist.

The World Purifying Crystal at the center of the forehead refracted a clear light, exuding an aura of solemnity and sanctity.

The Ghost Mask, on the other hand, was made of bronze, with dark reddish-brown rust and vein-like patterns intertwined, giving it a more sinister and sharp appearance.

He picked up a Holy Mark Mask, his fingertips touching the gilded surface, feeling a warm and pure power. He thought to himself:

"This Holy Mark Mask is a notch stronger than the Ghost Mask."

Divine Purification's ability to clear negative status effects every second meant that the wearer would not be easily hindered by poison, illusions, or slowing effects in combat, greatly enhancing their practical combat ability.

Furthermore, the isolation of divine sense probing from cultivators one major realm higher doubled its value—

A Void Glimpse Realm cultivator wearing it could evade the scrutiny of a Nirvana Realm cultivator.

A Nirvana Realm cultivator wearing it could even block the divine sense of a Heavenly Human Realm cultivator. Such protection was sufficient to handle more perilous missions.

"Jing Ke, Nie Zheng, and the others, along with Di Yun and Linghu Chong, are perfectly suited for these Holy Mark Masks," Ye Junlin mused for a moment, a decision made.

"These Ghost Masks are also good, practically tailor-made for the assassins of the Misty Rain Tower."

"Isolating divine sense probing from a higher realm means a Grandmaster Realm cultivator can evade the detection of a Grandmaster Realm cultivator."

"A Grandmaster Realm cultivator can hide from the probing of a Void Glimpse Realm cultivator, greatly enhancing their stealth during missions."

"The characteristic of recognizing the master with essence blood and being irremovable by outsiders can fundamentally protect the assassins' identities."

"Even if a mission fails, there's no need to worry about their true faces being exposed and implicating the stronghold."

"If Jing Ke and the others get these Holy Mark Masks and Blood Pattern Ghost Masks, they can act even more recklessly," Ye Junlin nodded with satisfaction.

Ye Junlin picked up a communication token, injected spiritual energy into it, and left a command: "Gangzi, come to the Lord's Pavilion immediately."

A moment later, Yuan Tiangang's figure appeared outside the pavilion, bowing respectfully, "Your subordinate greets the Lord."

"Come in," Ye Junlin said.

Ye Junlin gestured for him to approach, pointing at the seventy masks on the table.

"These are newly acquired special items: twenty Holy Mark Masks and fifty Blood Pattern Ghost Masks. Take them and distribute them."

Yuan Tiangang stepped closer, his gaze falling on the Holy Mark Masks and Blood Pattern Ghost Masks.

Then Ye Junlin introduced them to him one by one, and he immediately understood their uses, surprise flashing in his eyes:

"Such wondrous items can actually block divine sense, conceal true appearances, and even clear negative status effects..."

"With their assistance, we can act without any reservations!"

"Precisely," Ye Junlin nodded and ordered in a deep voice, "You will immediately head to the Misty Rain Tower's stronghold and distribute the Holy Mark Masks to Jing Ke, Nie Zheng, Yao Li, Zhuan Zhu, and the other Eight Guards members. Also, give one each to Di Yun and Linghu Chong."
