73 Infinite Hell (1/2)
After a long chat, Bai Yun sat on the chair thinking of his future plans.
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 participating 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 assassination.
But if he started a frontal assault, 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 assassination 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 assassinated.
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 assassinate 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.
