He had come to the middle aged man to both confirm the information on the mission as well as check if the leader of the gang had made any breakthroughs in the past month. Even though it was unlikely, it was still best to check rather than blindly charge in. And he could also understand the situation much better.
According to the middle aged man, he was just an average mortal. He made his living cleaning the sewers and had no cultivation or desires. He lived in this hut with his wife and his young daughter. Their lives were pitiful, but peaceful and happy.
But all of that changed when the new local gang turned up a year ago. They killed off the previous gang that was controlling this area and took over from them. Even though the previous gang would also beat them up and force them to hand over their money, it was not as horrible as now.
But the new gang was different. They were needlessly cruel. The first thing they did was to slaughter a hundred residents of the area, just to show people their rule. Then they tripled the tribute the previous gang was asking for. They also killed anyone that spoke against them or tried to leave.
Under the terrifying threat to their lives, the people here eked out a living. The gang also did whatever they wanted and took whatever they wanted.
And the disaster that destroyed the middle aged man's family struck a few weeks after the gang took over. The leader of the gang took fancy to the middle aged man's daughter and kidnapped her. His goons kidnapped the wife too while they were at it. In the end, the middle aged man found both of them raped and murdered a few days later. Even though he wanted to exact revenge on them, he was nowhere near strong enough to do so. So he bid his time and waited for a chance.
And he got lucky a little more than a month ago. While cleaning the sewers, he found a purse that was filled with small jewels. Usually, the people who cleaned the sewers are supposed to turn over everything that they find in the sewers to their superiors. And usually, the middle aged man did so. But this one time, he did not. He took the money to a nearby blood moon location, a map to which he had found in the sewers a longs time ago, and placed a bounty on the leader. He wanted to place a bounty on the entire gang, but he was told that he only had enough to place a bounty on a single ninth stage qi condensation realm cultivator, or two eighth stage qi condensation realm cultivators. So he placed the bounty on the gang's leader.
When Bai Yun heard all of this, he sighed. Stories like this was common all over the world of cultivation. He did not have the time and effort to save every single person that he came across. He was only here to complete the mission from blood moon.
From the middle aged man, Bai Yun had learned of the headquarters of the gang. They were holed up in the only proper house in the leftover lane, which was situated at the other end of the street. It was a two storey house, with the boss occupying the second floor, and the rest of the gang using the first floor. The house was built by the previous gang that ruled these parts, and had then been taken over by the new gang. The gang would typically spend the nights at the house either partying or partic.i.p.ating in or planning some illegal activities.
Bai Yun slowly slipped back into the shadows and headed towards the house. Since even the worst cultivation technique would allow someone to reach the foundation establishment realm in a world with as much energy as the howling wolf world, the leader of the gang most likely did not even have a cultivation technique. He might have a meditation technique, and even he did have cultivation technique it would be the worst kind. Or else he would not remain in the qi condensation realm in his thirties. Bai Yun could kill such a person in a straight forward fight itself, let alone an a.s.sa.s.sination.
But if he started a frontal a.s.sault, he would have to fight the entire gang in order to kill the leader, and he might not be able to do so. The leader might even run away in the chaos. Thus a.s.sa.s.sination was the best result. After all, the reward was for killing the leader only.
Bai Yun quickly reached the gang's hideout. Bai Yun stayed in the shadows and surveyed the house from afar. He was unable to see anyone outside the house keeping watch. There were lots of noises coming from the ground floor. Obviously the gang was having a party. There was only a single room on the second floor that was lit, while the others were in darkness. The boss was probably in the single lit room.

When Bai Yu saw how easy the gang was behaving, he sighed. Not only was there no alarm arrays, which was obvious considering their strength, but they also did not even have anyone on watch These people were simply begging to be a.s.sa.s.sinated.
Bai Yun walked up to the house and used his wall walking technique to get to the second storey. He chose a room that was in the darkness and slowly unlocked the window using his soul tendrils. He then slipped inside the room and hid himself. After making sure that there was no one in the room, and his entrance had not been heard by anyone, he slowly walked over to the room the leader was in.
Reaching the entrance, Bai Yun slowly peeked inside. The moment he did so, his blood ran cold.
The room was the gang leader bedroom. There was a large bed in the center of the room. Two small girls were lying on the bed and desperately trying to fight off a bald middle aged man who was trying to disrobe them.
Bai Yun stared at the bald man. Not only was he drunk, but he was also naked. Based on what he saw as well as the description of the person who had placed the mission, this man was the leader of the gang. He was treating this like a game, so he wasn't using his qi, only using his body's strength to attack the two girls.
Based on what he had heard from the middle aged man, he was expecting a scene like this where the leader of the gang was. His original plan was to a.s.sa.s.sinate the leader after he had gone to sleep after playing with whomever he had in his bed. But what enraged Bai Yun was the ages of the two girls who were desperately fighting the bald man.
One of them could not be older than thirteen while the other was definitely under ten.
At that moment a unimaginable rage went through Bai Yun. Without making a single sound, he slipped inside the room and went behind the bald man.
None of the three original occupants of the room noticed him. He slipped behind the bald man and drew out his sword.
Just as he prepared to stab him, the bald man froze. He felt something behind him and stood up. Even though the bald man was a useless cultivator, Bai Yun was not even attempting to hide his presence now. Only a drunken useless person would not notice Bai Yun at this point.
But it was too late. Bai Yun drove his sword right through the bald man's chest. The bald man stared in surprise at the sword in his chest. He did not seem to understand what had happened in his drunken state.
The blood of the bald man sprayed onto the two girl's faces. The two of them screamed in terror when they saw the sword emerging out of the bald man's chest. But since the screams of little girls were common occurrences on the second floor of the hideout, no one came to investigate.
Before the bald man could come to, Bai Yun reached around and grabbed at the bald man's throat. In a single motion, he turned him around and picked him up with a single hand. The bald man tried to scream, but his throat was held tightly by Bai Yun.
"You are lucky you jerked at the last moment." Bai Yun said. "I was going to slowly torture you, but thanks to that jerk, my sword scratched your heart. You will be dead in a few minutes at most. Too bad."
The bald man tried to claw at Bai Yun, but Bai Yun had kept every drop of his qi onto his arm, so he was unable to even scratch him. The two little girls were by now stunned into silence and just s.h.i.+vering in terror.
"But that doesn't mean you need to go down easy." Bai Yun continued. "I have to apologize in advance, of all the techniques I know, this is the only one I can use right now. Awaken in the Infinite h.e.l.l."
The next instant a terrifying soul force emanated out of Bai Yun. The bald man's clawing stopped an instant later and he froze and fell powerlessness on to the ground.
Bai Yun had trapped him in one of the ten great torture techniques of the ancient world, Infinite h.e.l.l.
During the great war, Bai Yun had great attainment in the soul path. And sometimes he was asked to trap some exceptionally powerful devils or traitors in illusions in order to gain information. Ad in the course of this he learned all of the ten great torture techniques. Unfortunately, all of the other techniques were techniques beyond Grand techniques and he was unable to use them right now without dying. Only the tenth ranked infinite h.e.l.l, which was a grand technique, could be safely used by him.
Infinite h.e.l.l was a very simple torture technique. It trapped the person the technique was cast on in the worst h.e.l.l that could be imagined by either the person who cast the technique or the person who received the technique. The most horrifying thing about this technique was that it could become worse from the imagination and experience of both of the people involved. It was this infinite potential for growth that made it one of the ten great torture techniques.
And currently, the bald man was experiencing all the horrors that Bai Yun had witnessed during the great war as well as all the horrors that the bald man had committed and imagined as well. He was being repeatedly tortured in the most horrible ways, repeatedly killed off in the torture, only to come to life for the torture to continue once again. He was tortured by some of the most hideos monsters Bai Yun had ever witnessed, and was being repeatedly ripped to pieces, boiled alive, or fed his own body parts. And the cycle continued on again and again without stopping until the bald man's soul was extinguished.
And usually, it would have been difficult for Bai Yun to trap someone in a similar cultivation as him in an illusion without having their cultivaton sealed, considering that the infinitude heavenly thought was not focused on illusions and other typical soul related abilities. But unlike his other two cultivation techniques, which were considered only among the best cultivation techniques, Infinitude Heavenly Thought was the undisputed nmber one soul cultivation technique. And even though it was much weaker in hallucination and other typical soul abilities compared to its physical power, it was still among the higest even in that category. And the bald man was using a useless technique for cultivation and technically the two of them were at the same cultivation league. With his soul being weakened from his impending death, he was able to trap him in infinite h.e.l.l.
For a few minutes Bai Yun and the other two watched as the bald man slowly bled to death. Once he was dead, Ba Yun cut off the bald man's head as proof of completion of the mission.
He then turned towards the stairs. For a few moments, he just stood there as he debated what to do.
"F**k it. I am going to kill all of these b.a.s.t.a.r.ds today."
