64 Trail of the soul shaker (1/2)

Bai Yun smiled at the two of them. Before he had left he had left them a letter gave them some work to do. He had asked to follow up on some information and also to look into a few thins for him.

”What did you find out about the soul shaking orb?” He asked the couple.

Bai Yun had never forgotten about the soul shaking orb that he found in his memories when he woke up. It was the soul shaking orb that caused him to wake up in the current life. And there was no question that it was intentional. It meant that that there was an enemy who was aiming for his life that he did not know about.

It was true that he could tell his family and ask them to investigate but there was a problem. He was attacked by the soul shaking orb while he was inside his families mansion. This meant that whoever attacked him must be someone on inside the mansion. Thus he was reluctant to mention it to them lest the wrong person earn of it.

He could trust his parents, and maybe even old Hai, but he was afraid that they may chose to trust in the wrong person. Bai Yun was not worried for his safety, if there was someone who was determined to kill him, then them knowing about the fact that he remembered the soul shaking orb would not change much. He was more concerned whether the people behind it would hide.

”There was no soul shaking orbs sold at auction in the city in the last few months. The latest one we found was sold almost four years ago.” Bai Ling-er replied.

Bai Yun frowned when he heard of this. He was hoping to find a clue to the soul shaking orb, but he as not too optimistic about it anyway. A powerful dao step soul cultivator could make it, and it could also be purchased from outside the city and brought in. But if Bai Yun was planning something like this, he would not do the first thing. There was a possibility that some remnants of the soul shaking orb could be left behind, and that could lead his parents to the perpetrator. If he was doing so, the most efficient way was to buy one from far away or under a proxy, or steal one. So he had asked them if there was a soul shaking orb sold recently, in the hopes that he could find a clue. After all they were incredibly rare, and thus easy to track.

”But we did find a rumor.” Bai Ling-er continued. ” Since you told us to focus on businesses bringing item from outside the city, we thought of looking into the black market.”

Bai Yun looked at them quizzically when he heard Bai Ling-er. He did not ask them to look into the black market as it could be incredibly dangerous and they did not have the strength to protect themselves.

Seeing the look on Bai Yun's face, Bai Lin-er started to explain. ”It seems you don't know much about the black market. Let me ask you a question. When you kill an enemy, and their item end up in your arms, and you have no use for them, what will you do?”

Bai Yun thought for a minute and then replied. ”Wouldn't you just have to sell them. Or if its impossible, then throw it away.”

”But it is not easy to sell the items. The major forces have very vast information networks, and they will not allow businesses to publicly sell anything stolen from their people. And no businesses would want to antagonize any of the major forces. Thus the black market stepped in to to fill the role. Not only do they take sketchy items, they also usually move them great distances so as to make it that much more harder to track. As a result, you only usually get half of what you can get if you sell the same item to an open business, if that.” Bai Ling-er explained.

”And about four months ago, there was a rumor going around that a soul shaking orb was being sold in the black market. Specifically the Crescent moon organization. But there is no way for us to confirm it. They don't share records of their transactions. Its one of the reason that they could last for so long. Otherwise the major forces would definitely destroy them. After all, pretty much all of the top leaders have sold stuff there at least once before.” Bai Shi finished.

Bai Yun thought for a moment. ”Tell me abut the Crescent Moon organization.” He asked them.

”The Crescent Moon is a large organisation that has its fingers in many pies. They are divided into many different parts, but there are three main ones. They are the Full Moon wing, which deals with the stolen and other shady items, the New moon which is the biggest intelligence broker on the continent and Blood Moon, the assassination wing. Each of them act mostly independent of each other, but they are all part of the same organisation.” Bai Ling-er explained.

”Explain to me how the Blood Moon wing operates.” Bai Yun immediately asked. If he wanted to infiltrate them, he neither had the time or skills to join up with the other two wings. But with the Legacy of the Assassin God, he could definitely be a terrifying Assassin.

”The Blood Moon is divided into two sections, the inner and outer sections. The outer section is made up freelance assassins, while the inner sections consists of assassins they have trained from a young age, or people that have sworn a blood oath to them. It is incredibly difficult to join the inner section, but the outer section is modeled after the Hunter's Union. One can join up with them and take missions for pay. As you accomplish more and more missions, your ranking in the organisation goes up.” Bai Shi explained.
