Assassination System

Now that Dan secured his position at the Tetsui Clan. It was time for him to commence the fourth phase of his plan. Morning arrived as Leona's consciousness awakened from slumber. A sweet smile blossomed on her face when she found Dan beside her.

Dan noticed her awakening as the same smile crept on his lips, "Are you feeling sore? We can rest for the entire afternoon..." Dan stretched his right hand and affectionately rubbed her hair. Leona narrowed her eyes, holding his hand, the former turned kissed him on his lips.

"It's fine, I can handle this much, but can you be more gentle next time?" Dan rubbed his nose in awkwardness before saying, "It's not like I don't wanna be gentle, you're just too sexy that I can't help it..." He snickered as Leona raised her right hand and flicked at his forehead, "You jest...Let's go, let's eat some breakfast, though I want to stay here for the entire day, I have some matters that needed to be done as soon as possible..."

She stood up and the sheets that draped over her body slid down. Revealing her naked glory before Dan's scrutiny. The latter was taken aback. Because of the dimness of the night. He didn't see that much of her body. But now that it was morning, he couldn't help but appreciate it.

Her slender, yet plump body created a curve which could be considered as phenomenal and divine. Her peaks that looked small, yet ample along with the pinkish tips that decorated its center, composed a picturesque scene which enticed his desires.

A tent formed on his lower body as he hurriedly moved and covered it with the sheets. Leona turned to look at him and dragged him towards the bathroom. After taking their bath together. The couple walked towards the dining room.

Galleon noticed their arrival. His eyes focused on his daughter's lower body and an imperceptible flash of light surged within his eyes that soon turned into joy and excitement. Since Dan has taken his daughter's chastity. Then the matter of hooking him in his family was considered as complete.

The old man looked overjoyed while Natalie and Dan looked somewhat speechless as they continued their meal. His enjoyment overshadowed his thoughts to the extent that he inadvertently revealed some bits regarding their connection with the Night Ranger Association.

"Sir Beethros is asking for our presence later in the afternoon, it seems like he has finally formulated a plan about that..." Galleon said while munching on some meat. Leona lifted her head before saying, "Can I bring Dan with me at that meeting?" Galleon's hands stopped and he darted his gaze at Dan as he said, "It's fine, just make sure that you explain everything to him lest he misunderstands everything..."

"I understand," Leona replied and the three continued their meal with Dan wondering about that meeting and the so-called intricacies of everything. Later on, at lunch, Leona called for Dan inside her room and there, she talked about their connection with the Night Ranger Association and as for the reason why they were planning such things.

According to Leona, the Town Mayor has long been overdue in his position. And with the help of the Tetsui Clan and the Night Ranger Association, they would overthrow his governance so that the Merchant Town of Kalur wouldn't stay as his monopoly.

Everyone under the heavens has their own ambition and that includes the two overlords of the Merchant Town. However, Dan knew with his experience in reading various novels that things weren't as simple as it was. the high and mighty Night Ranger Association wouldn't lower itelf to ally with such a small clan without further benefits.

Dan asked, "Is that everything that they wanted? I don't believe that they're aiming for a fair share..." He expressed his opinion as Leona's knitted her eyebrows, "I also don't think so, they're clearly more powerful than us and they could demand further benefits but it's strange that they are not doing so..."

Dan's figure shook, "Could it be that there's some kind of a secret that they are not willing to disclose even with their confidants?" He mumbled and Leona's expression flickered. The two stared at each other before nodding their heads.

Later on, in the afternoon, somewhere outside the Merchant Town of Kalur. Two figures could be seen walking towards a nearby cliff face. Leona stood before that cliff and crushed a crystal. The crystal turned into dust and flew towards the cliff face as a distortion occurred and revealed the true visage of the cliff.

It transformed into a cave opening of which Leona and Dan entered. Leona looked calm and indifferent as Dan carefully activated the System's function and simulated a three-dimensional map of the entire area. Glancing at his minimap, he discovered that the headquarters of the Night Ranger's Association branch in the Merchant Town of Kalur, stood three kilometers away from the Northen Gate.

"Oh, you're finally here..." A coarse voice echoed before them followed by the appearance of a ghastly figure that looked like an apparition of a ghost. His intangible figure changed into a tangilbe one as he leaked a creepy smile on his face, "As I thought, Young Mistress Leona really looks as beautiful as ever..." Leona shrugged and the figure glanced at Dan.

"May I know who is this gentleman beside you?" He said and Leona replied, "That's my husband,"

"Your husband? I see..." He mumbled for a moment before his figure dashed beside Dan and stabbed with a concealed dagger. The sound of metal clashing against metal reverberated. Fortunately, Dan had perceived his killing intent before hand and was able to defend.

Leona's expression changed, opening her mouth, she fiercely shouted, "How dare you attack my husband!" She flicked her wrist as a jade sword manifested in the air before holding it and slashing towards the direction of the figure. However, though her attacks struck him. it only went through his body.

"Tcch," Leona clicked her tongue in annoyance as the figure crackled a laugh, "It's useless, no matter how many times you attack me," He viciously glanced at Dan for a moment as the latter's eyes shone in a critical light. The System had already told him that the man before him could temporarily transformed into a ghost for a brief moment, giving him invincibility towards physical attacks.

But Dan's Divine Arts, the Blessing of the Lightning God was considered as the nemesis of all Yin affliated creatures. That includes ghosts such as his transformation. Coldly smiling in his heart, Dan finally understood why the Night Ranger Association could easily escape numerous manhunts.

The reason was their Divine Arts enabled them to blend with the environment. And not only that, it could also block all physical attacks making them quite a headache to deal with.

Calming his nerves, Leona gripped his arm as she said, "Are you okay? Did he injure you?" Dan shook his head and ruffled her hair, "No, I am fine," Despite his reasurrance, Leona stuck close to him and vigilantly looked around.

Even though they were allies, it was only temporary and they could still attack each other. But doing that would mean that they would fall out and that was something that the two clans didn't want to see. After all, they needed the Night Ranger Association's help in overthrowing the Town Mayor's regime.

They soon arrived inside a vast hall where two figures could be seen seated before a round table. Aside from the bastard that attacked him earlier. Dan noticed another old man and when the latter lifted his head, he found that it was the Triass Clan Chief.

"Uhmm? Who is that youngster beside you, Leona?" the Triass Clan Chief said with frowned eyebrows.

Leona cupped her hands together in a gesture of respect for the seniors before saying, "Both Seniors need not to be on guard, this young man beside me is my husband, I am sorry that we didn't announce it in advance..."

"That young brat that looks like a boy-toy is your husband?" The Triass Clan Chief sneered, "I didn't expect that the mighty Tetsui Clan would be so cheap that they would settle for random boy-toys in the street..."

Leona's expression flickered, and she didn't cower as she said, "At the least, we do not have a cripple in our family..." As soon as she said these words, the Triass Clan Chief raised his right hand in the air before slamming it down on the stone table, crushing it into smitheerens.

"Just what did you say? Do you really expect that I will be afraid to punish you for your impudence?" His expression flushed in anger. The matter of his son becoming an eunuch always made him sorrowful and Leona reminding him of that fact made him unable to control his nerves.

Dan coldly glanced at the Clan Chief and thought that he was somewhat retarded. "Since you launched the first attack, you should expect to be counter-attacked and should take it like a man..." He shook his head in disapproval as the Triass Clan Chief stood up, bringing with him a tempest of Qi in an effort to pressure the two of them down on the ground.

The ghastly figure that observed at the side, realized that the matter would quickly escalate. Frowning, he opened his mouth and led out a shrill scream, "Impudence!" His voice directly attacked the ears of the three as all of them became disoriented and dizzy for a moment.

Several seconds later, all of them recovered their clarity. Dan's expression flickered in shock. If not for the system's help, his recovery would take much longer. He glanced at the woobly Leona and supported her side.

"Are you guys done with your fight? If not, I will send you guys off..." He said and the three nodded their heads. Taking a seat, the ghastly apparition repaired the stone table as they started their discussion.

"The Town Mayor is starting to notice our invasion, the boss has decided that we would attack the Hamlet of Plaridel, the objective this time is to massacre everyone and take the food in their granaries." The fact that he said these terrifying words in a calm manner made the three somewhat apprehensive. Especially Dan whose eyes flickered in a light of burning rage.

"What? Unwilling?" The ghastly apparition replied, his tone indicated that he didn't want any objections.

"We wouldn't dare, we wouldn't dare," The Triass Clan Chief pacified and the former coldly snorted before saying, "It's not like you guys wouldn't have any benefits at all. The Tetsui Clan's Lifeforce Devouring and the Triass Clan's Bone Consuming Method needs mortals, right? Then what are you guys hesitating for?"

Leona lifted an eyebrow, "But Senior, such large scale murder will easily attract the attention of the Town Mayor..." When the ghastly apparition heard Leona's words. It viciously chuckled before throwing a Formation Disc at Leona's direction.

Leona caught it in mid-air and Dan secretly analyzed it at the side,

[Name: Earth Grade Dream Domain Formation]

[Effects: Places everyone inside the vicinity of the formation in a deep sleep which eventually robs them of their breath. The Formation covers at least three kilometes of radius.]

"That is an Earth Grade Dream Domain Formation, to prevent them from immediately noticing your attacks, the two of you should place that formation at the center of the Hamlet of Plaridel and activate it. After that, several minutes later, you will have all the mortals for the reaping..." The appariton cracked a vicious laugh and after receiving every information that they needed, the Triass Clan Chief along with Leona and Dan dashed towards the Hamlet of Plaridel.

"Are we really gonna massacre everyone in that Hamlet and absorb them with our Divine Arts?" Dan suddenly asked and Leona, along with the Triass Clan Chief stopped. The latter glanced at Dan before laughing out loud, "Of course we will, the boss is giving us some free absorption material, why wouldn't we take advantage of it?"

"For us demonic cultivators, mortals are just livestocks, why think too much about their deaths?" She lifted an eyebrow, as a demonic cultivator, as a demonic cultivator, why would you feel sympathy and pity towards their deaths? She found the matter as strange.

Dan sighed, no matter how much he wanted to dispose of these feelings of sympathy. He was recently a mortal and the murder of his kind made him feel sick and disturbed.

"Just from your fair skin and naive countenance alone, I could tell that you're quite a sheltered brat. Let me guess, you came from a demonic clan, right?" The Triass Clan Chief said as Leona's expression flickered, "I don't think that your line of questioning is quite appropriate, Senior,"

In this world, it was taboo to ask for a demonic cultivators past. After all, most of them endured grueling experiences and asking for it was tantamount to opening their hidden wounds.

It was part of the reason why Leona prevented this line of questioning. The second part was she didn't want anyone to know about Dan's true identity. Apart from her and her father, she would dispose anyone who knows about his identity in this small town of Kalur.

The Triass Clan Chief didn't mind her words too much as he went ahead and continued their journey. Leona glanced at her husband and noticed that his expression looked quite conflicted. She stretched her hands out and mumbled. "Don't think too much about it, Dan. It's not like there's no joy in killing those mortals..."

Dan lifted his head as his eyes widened when he realized that Leona's visage looked terrifying. Void of the gentless that he was familiar with. Instead, her eyes shone in a scarlet light and her lips widened in a smile that almost reached her ear.

Leona saw his terrified expression and hurriedly retracted her smile before lightly coughing. Turning towards Dan, she said, "Forget about what you saw just now, let's go, we can't have Senior wait for us..." She dragged the pale Dan and ran towards the distance.

Arriving before the hamlet of Plaridel, the three cultivator easily sneaked past the defenses of the mortal guards. Carrying the Dream Domain Formation Plate, Leona fixed it at the center of the hamlet while the Triass Clan Chief looked for the warehouses where the food for the Merchant Town of Kalur was stored in.

Dan accompanied Leona and when the Formation activated. An invisible shockwave spread from the Formation Plate as literally every mortal that walked in the area started tumbling on the ground. At this point of time, Leona unsheathed her sword and under Dan's horrified gaze, she started stabbing everyone around her.

Blood pooled on the ground and Leona's expression revealed her utmost excitement. Lifting her arms, she raised it towards the skies and activated her Lifeforce Devouring Method. The blood on the ground evaporated before condensing into a huge ball of bloodmist which dissipated inside her body.

"Ah, this is it, this sensation..." She mumbled in euphoria as her sword flew, repeatedly decapitating all the mortals that laid on the ground around her. The thick smell of iron that wafted in the air, made Dan who observed all this while at the side, nauseous.

She was too deep in the sensation of killing that she temporarily forgot about the existence of Dan who stood behind her. Fortunately, the mortals were in deep sleep or else they would be experiencing such a display of despair and terror.

Clenching his fists, Dan knew that all of them would never awaken once again. Dan turned towards the side where he could hear the ragged pants of someone familiar. Walking towards the direction of that sound, he noticed that the place where that sound originated came from the huge house where the Hamlet Captain stayed.

Arriving at the entrance, Dan saw the Hamlet Captain leisurely sleeping on his rocking chair. His olden face calm and tranquil but the room behind him was rowdy. Frowning, he walked towards the door of the Hamlet Captain's house and the scene that revealed itself before him, thoroughly disturbed his mind.

The Triass Clan Chief could be seen thrusting his manhood inside a naked young woman. The latter looked calm and undisturbed while the former's expression looked flushed and reddened in utmost excitement. However, just this scene alone didn't disturb Dan that much, but the scene of dozens of young maidens with their legs spread apart and their peals bleeding after penetration was the scene which shook his soul.

The Triass Clan Chief didn't even notice his entrance as his figure endlessly shivered in pleasure. After he climaxed, he finally noticed Dan's existence and said, "Woah, didn't notice you there, why are you in here? Could it be that you also heard about how beautiful the women in this hamlet are?"

Dan noticed that the Triass Clan Chief's body faintly shone in a pinkish light. That indication was enough for Dan to deduce that his cultivation method had something to do with coitus. Dan remembered the time where Leona insulted him by having a cripple inside his family.

Indeed. Since his cultivation method absorbed the Vital Yin of women, someone who was a cripple would be unable to cultivate their Divine Arts and as a result, would also be unable to pass their inheritance.

Dan shook his head, clarity returning in his mind. He looked around and found that almost every women had their cherries popped and their Vital Yin absorbed away from their bodies. Calming his killing intent, he turned towards the Triass Clan Chief and asked, "So Senior's cultivation method involves using mortal women as furnaces?"

The Triass Clan Chief laughed, "Yeah, but of course it would be much better to use female cultivators as furnaces, but you do know about the rarity of cultivators, so even though cultivation is much slower and tedious, we have no other choice but to use these mortals..." He adjusted his lance, positioning it at the entrance of another woman before thrusting.

The contact made him roll his eyes in pleasure, "This one has quite the exquisite texture, such a pity that under the influence of the Formation, I can't bring her at home..." He shook his head in disappointment before starting his piston.

The continuous slapping sounds and the strange smell that wafted in the air made Dan sick as he pardoned himself and exited the area. Closing the door behind him, a dark and icy expression replaced his amiable visage as he casually returned a Profound Imagery Stone towards his Virtual Inventory,

"Fourth Phase completed..." He mumbled before walking towards Leona's direction.
