She quickly put on her clothes. "My innate gift makes me immune to poison, and the stronger the poison I consume, the stronger my innate gift becomes."
Lu Yin was amazed that such an innate gift existed. Now, the question was, should he kill her?
Her innate gift was very powerful, and her strength would increase very quickly. Since she was from Mafioso Planet, she would be an enemy in the future, and Lu Yin did not want to leave behind an enemy that could threaten him.
The bespectacled girl sensed Lu Yin's killing intent and pitifully said, "Big brother, you're a good person. Can you let me go? I really haven't killed anyone."
Lu Yin stared at her with a murderous glint in his eyes. Her heart trembled, and she hurriedly said, "You can't kill me, Lu Yin."
Lu Yin raised a brow. "You recognize me?"
She nodded. "Yes, just now. Killing me won't do you any good, Lu Yin."
"Have you heard of the name Topmist?" Lu Yin asked.
The bespectacled girl was shocked. "The Great Elder?"
Lu Yin's lips curled up. "So he really is from Mafioso Planet. Unfortunately, I have a grudge against him, and I have to kill his people. Your innate gift won't allow you to live."
"Wait, I can help you kill him!" the bespectacled girl shouted.
Lu Yin laughed. "Do you know how strong he is?
Help me kill him?
Wait another five hundred years. "
"He's the Great Elder of Mafioso Planet and an Enlighter. I know that I can't kill him right now, but I'll surpass him in the future. Besides, I have a reason to kill him," the bespectacled girl hurriedly said.
"Tell me about it." Lu Yin looked at her with interest.
Her eyes flickered, and she thought for a moment before saying, "Mafioso Planet is the top assassin organization in the surrounding weaves. They have an inherited treasure called the Bloody Handprint, which can only be inherited by the strongest person in the organization. All of the assassins in the organization want to obtain it, and it's currently in Topmist's hands. Our organization has no emotions, and we are not united. All of the assassins' ultimate goal is the Great Elder."
"The Bloody Handprint?
Is it very powerful? "Lu Yin asked.
The bespectacled girl solemnly replied, "According to ancient records, the Bloody Handprint once killed an Innerverse powerhouse with a power level of over 300,000."
Lu Yin was shocked. "Mafioso Planet has something so powerful?"
The bespectacled woman nodded. "That's Mafioso Planet's most precious inherited treasure, and it can't be used unless it's a life or death situation. The right to use it is in the Great Elder's hands, so as long as the Great Elder goes all out, he'll be equivalent to an extreme powerhouse with a power level of over 300,000. However, that's only true for external forces. He's not allowed to use the Blood Palm on his own people. Once my strength surpasses the Great Elder's, I'll be able to replace him, and killing him will be as easy as flipping my hand. If an outsider wants to kill him, it'll be impossible unless they lure the Great Elder out of Mafioso Planet."
Lu Yin fell into deep thought. Topmist actually had such a life-saving technique, but that didn't seem right. Back on Shuta Planet, Topmist's rune lines definitely weren't that terrifying. If Topmist really did have a Bloody Handprint, then his rune lines definitely far surpassed that of an Enlighter's.
An assassin like Topmist who cherished his life would definitely carry a life-saving technique with him. Since Topmist's rune lines weren't that terrifying, then there were only three possibilities. Either this woman was lying, and there was no Bloody Handprint at all, or the Bloody Handprint would not reveal any of its power unless it exploded. The third possibility was that this Bloody Handprint was similar to the power vessel that Ze Lin had used, and it could only be used once.
At this moment, the bespectacled girl opened her gadget and tapped on a screen. "Big brother, I know you don't believe me. Take a look."
Lu Yin looked at the screen and saw an introduction that mentioned the Crimson Palmprint. Although there weren't many words, Lu Yin could tell from the screen that these words weren't fake. They had been written for many years, and they were very ancient.
However, this didn't prove that the Bloody Handprint still existed. Perhaps it had already been used up after so many years. "Even if this thing still exists, it's impossible for you to kill Topmist with your current strength. I don't have the time to wait around. If you really want to kill Topmist, then why don't you find someone stronger in your organization to work with?"
"Assassins don't work with others, but I can." The bespectacled girl grew anxious, as she could truly feel Lu Yin's killing intent. As an assassin, she was very sensitive to killing intent. "The more powerful an assassin is, the less likely they are to work with others. Even the assassins trained by Mafioso Planet don't have loyalty, but I do. I can serve you as long as you don't kill me and also provide me with that poison."
"Why should I believe you?" Lu Yin asked coldly.
The bespectacled girl replied, "You don't need to believe me since I'm not a threat to you. On the contrary, you're very tempting to me because that poison is very difficult to obtain even in the Outerverse. If I want to increase my strength quickly, then I need that poison. How about this? You can use the poison to hire me, and I'll work for you." She then saw the killing intent in Lu Yin's eyes gradually diminish, and she continued, "Think about it. Killing me won't do you any good, but keeping me alive will give you an opportunity to deal with Topmist in the future, right?
Besides, once I get stronger, I can even help you assassinate others. "
This was very tempting, as the bespectacled girl had been right about one thing: the kind of poison that could allow her to rapidly increase her strength was not easy to obtain. All of the poisons that Lu Yin was currently using had been created by Elder Wu, an Enlighter. There were many Enlighters in the Outerverse, but how many of them knew how to create poisons?
The probability was too low.
Although this woman's existence was neither too big nor too small of a threat, the best way for her to increase her strength was in Lu Yin's hands. As long as he could control her, Lu Yin did not believe that she would be able to increase her strength as quickly as he did.
"How long is your trial mission?" Lu Yin asked.
The bespectacled girl immediately replied, "One month for me, but it's much longer for others."
Lu Yin nodded. "Alright. You have to come to the Great Yu Empire's Zenyu Star to meet me within three months. If you don't, then I'll treat it as you going back on your word, and you'll never be able to obtain these poisons. Also, if I ever see you in the future, I'll definitely kill you."
The bespectacled girl relaxed, as she knew that she would not die. "Don't worry, these poisons are far more tempting to me than you can imagine. I'll definitely look for you."
"You just drank a bottle of my poison, so treat it as payment for hiring me. I haven't decided who I'll kill yet, but I've already paid you, so don't go back on your word," Lu Yin said calmly.
The bespectacled girl nodded and patted her chest carefully. "Thank you, Big Brother."
"I told you not to call me that." Lu Yin frowned. This form of address, as well as all of her previous actions, had dispelled his killing intent. Lu Yin knew that, but there was still one thing that had ultimately dispelled his killing intent: this woman. There was no benefit in killing her, and keeping her alive would not pose much of a threat. It was better to keep her alive, as she might actually be useful in the future.
Although consuming poison could increase one's strength quickly, there were also many restrictions. It would not increase one's overall strength, and such a person would never be able to become a top powerhouse.
The bespectacled girl left, but before she left, she told Lu Yin that her name was Mistchild. There were seven Mistchildren on Mafioso Planet, and they were the top assassins within their realm. She was a Melder Mistchild, and below her were the Sentinel Mistchildren. Above her were the Limiteers, Explorers, Cruisers, Hunters, and the top Enlighters.
Currently, there was only one Enlighter on Mafioso Planet, and that was Topmist. Naturally, he was also a Mistchild.
All of the Mistchildren's ultimate goal was to become an Enlighter Mistchild. This was a tradition that had existed for countless years on Mafioso Planet, and no one could change it.
The bespectacled girl had probably said all of this to express her sincerity to Lu Yin, as she was afraid that he would go back on his word and kill her.
However, she was overthinking things. Since Lu Yin had promised not to kill her, then he would not kill her. He would not go so far as to deceive a woman, even if she was an assassin.
The most important thing for an assassin was to seek fortune and avoid calamity. The bespectacled girl's mission was to slaughter all of the trial takers, but Lu Yin's existence had prevented her from doing so. She had not moved until two days later, when Lu Yin boarded a spacecraft and entered outer space. Only then did she bare her fangs and begin to slaughter the trial takers.
The bespectacled girl looked up at the sky with a profound gaze. She was different from the average assassin, who was simple-minded and well-developed. What she had always wanted was not a terrifying reputation, but rather the entirety of Mafioso Planet. She had her own ambitions.
Lu Yin's appearance was a perfect opportunity for her to ally with him. She could help Lu Yin while also using him to help herself.
Although cooperating with Lu Yin would be like asking a tiger for its skin, and her life would be in his hands, she had no other choice. This person actually had a poison that she could not extricate herself from, and it was only with that poison that she could rapidly increase her strength.
The future would always belong to their generation, and since that was the case, she would cooperate with the strongest person of her generation. This person was not only the strongest person of his generation in the Outerverse, but he was also the strongest person of his generation in the entire universe.
In outer space, Lu Yin ended his call with Wendy Yushan. He wanted to go to Shenwu Continent's space station with Wendy Yushan because he wanted to understand the current situation on Shenwu Continent.
He had killed three Enlighters, which was too much of an eyesore to the other Enlighters. Their dignity had been challenged, and under these circumstances, he needed to appear. The more frequently he appeared, the less scruples he would have, and the more apprehensive those Enlighters who wanted to deal with him would be.
Wendy Yushan did not know why Lu Yin wanted to go to Shenwu Continent, but she had to follow him wherever he went. Only the two of them could pose a threat to any powerhouse.
The Outerverse was connected to the Astral Wilderness, and to the east was the Astral Beast Domain. There was a weave in the Outerverse called Ironblood Weave, and this weave was one of the points that connected the Outerverse and the Astral Beast Domain.
Ironblood Weave was purely a war zone, and there were no civilians. All of the habitable planets in the weave had been connected to form war fortresses. These war fortresses divided the entire Ironblood Weave and stretched out the battlefront to wage a never-ending war with the Astral Beast Domain. This was to prevent the Astral Beast Domain's astral beasts from breaking into other weaves.
Countless years ago, all of the living people in Ironblood Weave had been massacred. Now, the ones fighting in the weave were cultivators from other weaves or from the Innerverse.
Just like Ironblood Weave, the Astral Beast Domain had also suffered heavy losses. Countless astral beasts had died over the years, and many races had even been exterminated. Thus, even though the Astral Beast Domain and the Human Domain had reached a peace agreement, there would still be endless war in this place unless one side was permanently exterminated.
