When elder Dongmei told Han Cai about the mission.
Han Cai nodded but did not speak.
Palpatine threw a jade slip at Han Cai. Han Cai caught it and inserted spirit qi into it. Elder let him understand the contents of the mission.
Han Cai was done learning the contents of the jade slip. Elder threw three black talismans, a pouch, and one green jade at Han Cai and said, " Be careful. The yang family is no less powerful than the royal family, maybe more. That city is one of their headquarters. If you sense any danger, run immediately. As usual, insert spirit qi in your medallion once a day, so the sect will know where you are. About five Darkhall elders will go there too, and they will stay on standby nearby; they will not interfere with your mission. But if you need help, insert spirit qi into your medallion three times, and the elders will immediately come to your aid. I know no one can catch you, but still keep them. They are for saving your life; one can teleport you 1,000 kilometers randomly. The second one causes a very massive explosion. The third one is for mission completion. When the mission is completed, burn it, and the sect will know. Make sure to get some proof of mission completion. Show that proof to five elders at the rendezvous point. The sect can only take immediate action if all six talismans are lit. The pouch contains small packets of every poison our sect uses. Your target's cultivation is of the golden core, so he is no threat to you, but there will be a nascent-souls protecting him. The jade contains the location of your target too. ``
Han Cai listened quietly. When the elder was done speaking, Han Cai nodded. When he was about to leave, elder Dongmei spoke: "If you finish the mission early, don't roam around. After you come back, you have to do some errands for your master too".
Han Cai gave his master a curious look. His master was the most mellow fellow in this world. What would he want him to do?
The sect master spoke," It is nothing serious. The Cui family, do you remember them? You had captured their members; they had to pay our sect a hefty sum. They and the Wang family have sorted out their differences. They will be making a friendly visit to the sect. As my disciple, it would be great if you could join me in welcoming them".
Han Cai nodded.
Elder Dongmei anticipated that Han Cai would hesitate once he learned that he would have to deal with nascent souls. However, when he saw the emotionless, don't care attitude in Han Cai's eyes, he felt disappointed and breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
He did not understand Han Cai's temperament anymore, but so far, his mission completion rate was 100%. Han Cai had completed 42 missions under the elder's guidance, and not a single time had he been caught. After finding out Han Cai was as strong as him, the elder kept increasing the mission levels. Han Cai never complained or said no. Han Cai had already killed a few golden core cultivators, but this was the first time he was sending him to face nascent soul cultivators, but he knew no nascent soul could catch Han Cai no matter how hard they tried, so the elder was not worried about it.
Han Cai was again about to leave, but the elder stopped him again. " Once the mission is completed, don't waste time trying to rob him. Sect will reward you enough."
According to Elder, Han Cai was a perfect dark hall killer, but he had one weakness. Whenever he went, he cleaned out the target after killing him. Robbing your target's treasures was not unheard of, but Han Cai sometimes took it to another level.
One time the target given to Han Cai was a very rich cultivator. When Han Cai was given the mission, he was specifically told that the cultivator's death should be by a thin slice of the neck. That was supposed to be a mystery murder so that it could put fear in the hearts of allies of that cultivator.
This mission was given to the sect by an outside party. Darkhall rarely took any missions from outside unless it was asked by someone important. This outside party was one of the political leaders of Yin country who had a history with the sky soaring sect, and he knew about the dark hall. He personally asked elder Dongmei to take care of this problem for him. The target was a very rich cultivator who had been to various continents and had very mysterious, powerful treasures. No matter how he was attacked, no one was able to hurt or kill the target so far.
So the mission was given to the best assassin of the dark hall Han Cai. Elder knew that with his space affinity, Han Cai should be able to do it. If Han Cai couldn't do it, no one in the dark hall would be able to do it.
Han Cai took the mission and completed it.
When Han Cai returned from the mission, he did not bring any proof, but everyone knew the mission was completed as the mission objective was achieved overwhelmingly. There was fear in the hearts of not just the allies of the cultivator, but there was fear in the hearts of the party that had hired them to complete this mission.
It turned out that when they found the body of the rich cultivator, he was buck naked, his throat was slit, and there was a sword impaling him between his buttocks. The mysterious murder case had turned into a political perversion of murder. Things blew out of proportion; his allies were planning to leave the Yin country; it was one thing to murder them, but to shame them this way was really scary; anyone who saw the dead body or heard the news clenched their buttocks instantly.
The good thing was no one knew besides the outside party who hired Dark Hall and elder Dongmei that this mission was done by Han Cai.
Han Cai did not intentionally plan to hurt the cultivator in his sensitive regions. It was just that when Han Cai was about to attack, he scanned his target, and it turned out that the rich cultivator had very strong defenses that not even a nascent soul could break. When Han Cai looked for the treasure on the man's body so he could break it, it turned out that this rich pervert had hidden the defense treasure in a dark, remote area of his body. No assassin in their right mind would attack you at that certain location on their first attack. And once the attack is defended by the treasure, the cultivator would have a chance to run.
Han Cai used his cutting-through-space technique and slashed directly, destroying the treasure before slitting the man's throat. Han Cai took out one of the extra swords he had and shoved it into the man's buttocks so to hide his space technique.
If anyone looked at the dead man, they would think that someone first penetrated the man's buttocks using this sword to destroy the defensive treasure and then sliced his throat. Unless there was a user of space technique with a high affinity to space elements, no one would guess how the man was really killed.
Since the value of everything the man owned was very high, Han Cai robbed him of everything, including his clothes.
This gave the elder a headache because he had to answer their employer Han Cai did not even try to explain himself. He just motioned that the mission was complete.
Elder could only sigh. He did not know if Han Cai was becoming an assassin or thief. But still, he decided to overlook it because no one was able to catch him, and he had no proof that Han Cai was the one who robbed the dead target.
Even the elder did not know where did Han Cai hide those treasures and spirit stones which he robbed of his targets. To Dark Hall, Han Cai had become a notorious robber of targets.
Even in group missions, Han Cai would rob the targets after killing them. When they came back to the sect, all of the dark hall companions complained about Han Cai wasting time robbing the targets even after the mission was completed.
Many dark hall elders checked Han Cai following elder Dongmei's order to find proof that Han Cai was robbing his targets after killing them, but so far, no one has been able to find any single clue.
pαпdα-ňᴏνêι·сóМ During the group missions, Many thought Han Cai was hiding all the robbed treasures and spirit stones in his storage ring. But the elder Dongmei knew Han Cai used the storage ring only to keep things that were related to the mission, like talismans, swords, or the head of the target.
He had personally checked Han Cai's storage ring once, giving the lame excuse that he wanted to make sure Han Cai's storage ring was functioning properly. His main goal was to catch Han Cai off guard with stolen spirit stones from dead targets because he wanted to reprimand Han Cai for pillaging targets. But no proof was ever found. When elder Dongmei asked if Han Cai robbed the spirit stones from the target, Han Cai would neither accept nor reject; he treated the elder as air, and the elder finally gave up.
