King of Assassins-Chapter 180 - 169 Reverence

Luojia has a tremendous influence, with over ten billion fans.

Here, fans are those who are familiar with many of Luojia’s works and can sing most of them. They are well-versed in all of Luojia’s stories.

The entire Twelve Star Domain contains twelve habitable planets, including dozens of smaller asteroids suitable for life, with a total population of about one hundred billion.

At least one-tenth of the population are Luojia fans, which shows how significant Luojia’s influence is.

When the news of Luojia’s disappearance spread, the internet exploded. Even the city of Mingjing became famous.

Mingjing’s law enforcement department became the target of all the fans. The Celestial Net was filled with abusive language directed at the law enforcement department.

In the Interstellar Era, the upper echelon firmly controls resources. The lower layers can only serve as a genetic pool.

However, on the surface, everyone is equal. This equality is particularly evident on the internet.

Even though Luojia’s disappearance had a huge impact, it was insignificant to the upper echelons.

The lower-class people like to shout, so let them shout. It just lets them experience a taste of freedom.

Tao Guang, the Law Enforcement Minister, was under enormous pressure.

The various media also fueled the fire, making Luojia’s disappearance a hotter topic.

Tao Guang had no choice but to publicly pledge to find Luojia within three days or resign in disgrace if he failed.

Tao Guang knew it well; he was definitely going to resign. Quitting voluntarily at least allowed him some dignity.

The great noble families in Mingjing City maintained extreme silence.

However, beneath the surface, undercurrents were surging. The main cannon of the Space Fortress going out of control made everyone feel a tremendous threat.

Many people found Wei Yue to inquire about the situation. Wei Yue was helpless regarding this; she truly knew nothing and could not provide any answers, let alone guarantees.

Wei Yue was busy all day dealing with various noble families and forces.

Even the Governor of Mingjing City personally came to visit Wei Yue.

By the time dinner came around, Wei Yue was already exhausted and looked a bit pale.

Wei Ming looked sympathetic: "You really have it rough."

Wei Yue could only shake her head helplessly: "I don’t understand what they’re thinking. Coming to ask me is pointless. Even if it really was Blood Shadow, how could I control it?"

"Was it actually Blood Shadow?" Wei Ming asked curiously.

"How would I know."

Wei Yue almost wanted to throw her chopsticks in her cousin’s face; he was just joining in the commotion.

Wei Ming grinned: "I always felt you should know."

"Nonsense, why should I know."

Wei Yue put down her chopsticks in anger, really not in the mood to eat anymore.

"Don’t be upset. Actually, this is a good thing, proving we have influence. As soon as something happens, all the big shots come to test our reaction, how impressive."

Wei Ming was quite happy, "When was our Wei Family ever this powerful."

Wei Yue said nothing. This influence was very real and extremely strong.

Now she only needs to make a hint, and all the noble families would obediently cooperate.

However, all of this was because of Blood Shadow. She absolutely must not actively use this influence.

Wei Yue paused, then said: "Do you think this has anything to do with Blood Shadow?"

"I think he did it," Wei Ming replied without hesitation, exceptionally certain.

"Huh?"

Wei Yue was puzzled: "Why are you so sure? Why would Blood Shadow kill Luojia, and why create such a big scene? It’s just too unreasonable."

Wei Ming shook his head: "I’m not considering these causes and effects. I see the strong style of Blood Shadow in this matter. Precise, strict, ruthless, a one-hit kill. More importantly, that intrinsic disregard for everyone else."

He didn’t know the specifics, but just from the information available, the style was vividly distinct—it was clearly Blood Shadow’s style, without any doubt.

Not just in Mingjing City, but even within the entire Twelve Star Domain, only Blood Shadow could pull off something this grand.

Activating the Space Fortress main cannon to bombard a target is something that others wouldn’t dare even think of.

A shocking strike from the main cannon, instantaneously obliterating all enemies. Although Wei Ming wasn’t on the scene, just imagining it in his mind made him feel the cannon blast was a great success.

"I used to greatly respect Blood Shadow’s swordsmanship, admire his methods, and be in awe of his coldness. But now, I admire his boldness and vision."

Wei Ming sincerely said: "From today on, Blood Shadow is my idol. I am his number one loyal fan."

Wei Yue helplessly held her forehead, her cousin wasn’t all that normal either.

"You don’t need to worry. No matter how much Blood Shadow causes trouble, as long as they can’t find Blood Shadow, they’ll only grow more in awe of him."

Wei Ming smiled and said: "This is a great thing for us."

The stronger Blood Shadow becomes, the more people fear him. His thunderous methods, without any scruples, may push the limits of the elites, but what can they do about it?

All they can do is respect Blood Shadow even more. How many would dare to take the risk and cause trouble for Blood Shadow?

Including the Yan Family, they should be completely subdued this time, right?

Wei Ming guessed correctly; the Yan Family was petrified.

Yan Qingge and Yan Qingfeng were currently in a video call with the family’s top brass.

The analysis of the Yan Family’s think tank yielded the same result as Wei Ming. Both concluded that this was the work of Blood Shadow.

They just didn’t know why Blood Shadow did it.

But that’s not important. What matters is that Blood Shadow demonstrated a powerful force over life and death.

Even the main cannon of the Space Fortress could be mobilized at Blood Shadow’s whim. Whatever means he used, they proved Blood Shadow’s power.

This kind of method has an air of the supernatural. No one wants to face such a terrifying assassin.

Yan Deyuan’s expression was heavy, "This incident caused a huge commotion, shaking Zhongjing. The Chief Governor is furious and has issued strict orders to investigate thoroughly."

He then asked, puzzled, "What madness drove Blood Shadow to kill Luojia? And with the Space Fortress’s main cannon, no less?"

Yan Qingge exchanged a helpless glance with her brother. They didn’t know anything. How could they respond?

Yan Deyuan was somewhat dissatisfied, saying, "You two stick close to Wei Yue, yet don’t know anything? This must have something to do with Blood Shadow. You should communicate more with Wei Yue; you’re partners, after all. Surely she can’t be that tight-lipped?"

"Dad, although Wei Yue is a woman, she acts with shrewdness and composure. Even if she knew something, she wouldn’t tell us."

Yan Qingfeng complained, "Last time, when we planned to ambush Blood Shadow, Wei Yue knew we were scheming against her. How could she trust us?"

Yan Deyuan could only sigh. Although the last incident was led by Yan Defeng, it received support from many top ranks in the Yan Family.

Even he himself wanted to annex the Yuanlong Group. Yet no one expected Blood Shadow, standing behind Wei Yue, to be so ferociously powerful.

"I heard rumors that Black Dragon Association’s leader, Ye Qianqiu, went to Mingjing and mobilized a large number of top experts..."

Yan Deyuan speculated, "Blood Shadow’s move this time was likely to kill Ye Qianqiu."

He continued, "It’s said that Separation Sword and Li Shenji, the top experts of Pegasus Star, accompanied him."

Ye Qianqiu acted covertly, but when he and several top leaders were killed, the organization inevitably descended into chaos.

News of Ye Qianqiu quickly leaked. This was also a test by the Black Dragon Association’s leadership.

If Ye Qianqiu were still alive, he would immediately emerge to clarify the facts and stabilize the hearts of the people.

But there’s been no news, so Ye Qianqiu must truly be finished. The remaining top ranks of the Black Dragon Association are now busy jostling for power, and no one bothers about how Ye Qianqiu died, nor will anyone consider avenging him.

What a joke; if even the mighty Ye Qianqiu could be easily extinguished, wouldn’t anyone else who tried simply be courting death?

After all, the Yan Family has stood for a millennium, holding an important position in Zhongjing. Yan Deyuan also acquired the first-hand information.

The brother and sister pair, Yan Qingfeng and Yan Qingge, were quite shocked. Using the Space Fortress’s main cannon to strike; they knew the situation wasn’t simple.

Yet the fact that Blood Shadow killed Ye Qianqiu, the leader of the Black Dragon Association, with countless followers and influence over four continents, as the top-tier figure on Pegasus Star, was astonishing.

Moreover, Xiao Bie Li and Li Shenji, both famed top-tier experts, were involved.

The two couldn’t help but marvel; indeed it was Blood Shadow, making a grand and earth-shaking move once again.

From this perspective, using the Space Fortress’s main cannon doesn’t seem too exaggerated.

The only baffling part is how Luojia got involved in all this. freeweɓnovel~cѳm

No matter what, the methods and courage of Blood Shadow truly command respect.

Yan Qingge also understood Yan Deyuan’s worry. Her father was afraid.

These high-ranking members of noble families cannot fathom Blood Shadow’s mindset, nor comprehend Blood Shadow’s earth-shaking valor.

Finally, Yan Deyuan instructed, "Mingjing’s situation is complicated now; you must behave yourselves and not cause trouble. Take care of our people."

Yan Qingge nodded firmly, "Dad, I know what to do."

After ending the communication, Yan Qingfeng teased, "Old man got scared."

"Blood Shadow is incredibly frightening. I never want to be an enemy of Blood Shadow."

Just thinking about Blood Shadow gave Yan Qingge goosebumps; this person had already left a deep shadow in her mind.

And it was precisely because of this that Yan Qingge was exceptionally curious about Blood Shadow.

With some longing, Yan Qingge said, "If only I could become Blood Shadow’s disciple. No one would dare mess with me."

"Sister, don’t be foolish. If Blood Shadow dared to show himself, countless people would want to kill him."

Yan Qingfeng seriously stated, "People fear Blood Shadow because he is so mysterious. Look at Wei Yue; even she doesn’t dare admit any connection with Blood Shadow. Blood Shadow is a blade too sharp; I doubt Wei Yue can control him!"

Yan Qingge said matter-of-factly, "How could a powerhouse like Blood Shadow, with such a spirit, be confined by anyone?"

"True enough."

Yan Qingfeng asserted, "As Blood Shadow gains more fame, Wei Yue will also rise in stature. But in the long run, all forces will keep an eye on Wei Yue and try every possible way to gather information about Blood Shadow from her; this is no good thing."

Yan Qingge disagreed, "Without Blood Shadow, Wei Yue would have been swallowed by the Black Dragon Association long ago. She wouldn’t have today."

"That’s true as well."

Yan Qingfeng sighed, "The level of this struggle is too high; we should just sit back and watch, avoiding getting caught up in it."

He added, feeling somewhat relieved, "Luckily, Blood Shadow didn’t use the three nuclear bombs. Otherwise, we’d all be in trouble."

"But isn’t it more terrifying that the nuclear bombs are in his hands...?"

Suddenly, Yan Qingge realized, "Blood Shadow holding those three nuclear bombs is a warning for others to stay away from him."

Yan Qingfeng clapped his thigh, "Exactly, just like that. Now everyone knows Blood Shadow has nuclear bombs, and no one dares to pursue too closely. Who knows what this person might do..."

But not everyone thinks this way. On the Space Fortress, tens of thousands of kilometers away from Pegasus Star, the highest military commander Mu Guofeng declared loudly, "Mr. Gong, spare no expense—we must dig out Blood Shadow for me!"
