Chapter 161 – Collect merits
The movements of the Armillary Sphere Star Palace were swift. As Lan Yifei set off with generous gifts towards the Dao Court's pivotal location, Core Elder Xie Changqing also departed soon after.
The lair of the Shadow Assassination Hall was somewhat distant, but fortunately, there were established star space teleportation arrays along the way. Xie Changqing hurried along and finally arrived at the Night Spirit Immortal Domain ten days later.
As the Shadow Assassination Hall's base that had been operated for countless years, the place had become a land of scenic beauty and majestic mountains. Gigantic landmasses were visible everywhere, with fertile lands nourished year-round by the earth's spiritual veins. Rare and exotic herbs, as well as treasures of heaven and earth, were abundant.

After he revealed his identity and showed the tokens from the Sect Master and Lan Yifei, he was immediately welcomed into the inner hall reserved for distinguished guests and met the current helmsman of the Shadow Assassination Hall.
The hall master, Lan Cangye, had an appealing appearance, with handsome features and a noble bearing, dressed in a purple robe and jade belt, always wearing an amiable smile as if he were a noble from the secular world, not at all like the notorious leader of the assassin world, whose name made countless cultivators pale in fear and who had countless souls under his command.
After the routine pleasantries, Xie Changqing got straight to the point and presented a long list of gifts.
"This matter, I agree to it," Lan Cangye contemplated briefly before nodding in agreement. Having taken the position of hall master for thousands of years, he had seen countless commissions, and to him, Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace was just another target, no different from other major contracts.
Taking people's money to dispel their disasters.
