King of Assassins-Chapter 183 - 172 Forcing Answers

Bai Yutang, dressed in a black skirt with black wings, stood right behind Gao Xuan. She gently massaged Gao Xuan’s shoulders, "Iron Bone Law Firm has always had a good reputation. I didn’t expect them to be so greedy and even have murderous intentions towards you."

Bai Yutang’s wisdom and memory were fully intact. In some respects, she wasn’t dead; she merely transformed her state of life.

She said, "Accepting an inheritance involves many legal procedures, and you can’t bypass the lawyers. This matter is indeed a bit tricky."

With Gao Xuan’s abilities, people like Tie Zhonghai were as insignificant as ants and could be crushed with ease.

However, while killing is easy, handling matters properly isn’t as straightforward.

Gao Xuan had already killed so many people and stirred up such a big commotion. At this time, he needed to keep a low profile.

Bai Yutang suggested, "Ah Xuan, you should go find Wei Yue. She could handle it with just one word."

Given Wei Yue’s current influence and status, indeed, with just one word, those at the law firm would be terrified.

"I’ve already troubled Wei Yue several times; I don’t want to involve her again."

Gao Xuan wasn’t embarrassed; he just found it odd to let Wei Yue meddle in Bai Yutang’s inheritance.

He laughed and said, "Why don’t you go talk to them? Don’t overthink it..."

Bai Yutang glanced sideways at Gao Xuan, knowing those lawyers couldn’t see her problem.

Nonetheless, if she appeared, it would attract lots of attention and lead to a series of complications—possibly even exposing Gao Xuan. It wasn’t worth the risk.

Of course, Gao Xuan knew this and was merely joking.

Those lawyers wanted to kill him; he wouldn’t easily let them off.

Gao Xuan held Bai Yutang’s hand and had her sit down, "Sister Tang, are you used to this kind of life?"

Bai Yutang smiled, "I’m used to it. I’ve let go of everything from the past. Now, I just stay with you every day, helping out with a few things. When tired, I go back to rest. It’s like paradise."

Her current divine soul state wasn’t very stable, and she needed to return to the guardian ring to sleep for most of the day.

Gao Xuan nodded, "I think it’s wonderful too."

Bai Yutang asked somewhat puzzled, "Ah Xuan, do you have something to say?"

"No, I’m just worried that Sister Tang’s divine soul isn’t stable. You should rest more," Gao Xuan said.

Bai Yutang nodded, "Alright, I am a bit tired. I’ll go rest first."

With a twist of light, Bai Yutang returned to the guardian ring.

Strictly speaking, the guardian ring was like a house. However, its foundation was established on Gao Xuan’s divine soul.

If Gao Xuan died, even if the guardian ring remained intact, Bai Yutang wouldn’t survive.

The special connection established by their divine souls was a symbiotic relationship with Gao Xuan as the primary. In contrast, if something happened to Bai Yutang, it wouldn’t affect Gao Xuan.

Such a magical transformation turning someone into a guardian angel was beyond Gao Xuan’s experiences.

It’s just that the law of the guardian ring is marvelous. At that time, under complicated circumstances, all the elements for mutation coincidentally gathered, allowing Bai Yutang to transform into a guardian angel.

In essence, a guardian angel exists purely in a spiritual state. Bai Yutang’s body was formed entirely by condensing source power through laws. The stability of this law is provided by the guardian ring.

Bai Yutang could even wield the Cyan Lotus Sword Song, with power not inferior to Luojia.

Gao Xuan speculated that Bai Yutang absorbed the Cyan Lotus Sword Order from Luojia’s remnant soul, along with her power. Her power was now clearly increasing, surpassing the source power limit of Pegasus Star.

Because of this, Gao Xuan worried there might be hidden dangers in Bai Yutang’s divine soul.

Luojia’s divine soul power was strong, and she was skilled in divine soul secret techniques. If she lurked deep within Bai Yutang’s divine soul, that would be a problem.

Gao Xuan probed several times but didn’t find any abnormalities in Bai Yutang. He couldn’t delve deeper into her divine soul.

His spiritual power was too strong and would seriously harm her if he entered her divine soul.

Gao Xuan wasn’t worried about Luojia. Without the Celestial Demon Relic, even if Luojia hid deep within Bai Yutang’s divine soul, she’d have to rely on him to survive.

He was just a bit concerned about Bai Yutang. However, seeing her memory and emotions were intact, there didn’t seem to be any issues.

Gao Xuan gently stroked the guardian ring. For now, he had no good solution.

He could only wait to find the Book of All-Power, hoping to find a way to resolve the problem.

As for the law firm’s issue, it wasn’t worth mentioning.

In comparison, a newly arrived expert was quite threatening. The other’s power wasn’t significant, yet the marvels on him were very intriguing, constantly finding ways to approach him.

The Six-winged Celestial Cicada’s spiritual nature was paramount, suppressing all perception-related marvels, including the spiritual sensing of powerhouses.

However, this suppression sometimes pointed the way. Of course, if the other was merely randomly searching, they’d never find him in a lifetime.

But, they would surely find Wei Yue.

Just like last time, Cao Xiong found him by chance. Though he didn’t really find him, merely noticed a tiny trace.

Once there’s a tiny clue, they could always follow the trail and find him.

Gao Xuan didn’t want to take risks, but he needed to consider how to handle the other.

The other seemed almost harmless, clearly just a toolman following orders to find him, harboring no strong emotions towards him.

There were several figures around the other party exuding a strong killing intent, and their cultivation was quite impressive.

It was clear that the other party was well-prepared, intending to have a grand battle with him.

Gao Xuan spiritually wandered over, quickly locking onto the other party through the sensing of the Six-winged Celestial Cicada.

An old man with white hair and white clothes appeared in Gao Xuan’s sea of consciousness. What caught Gao Xuan’s attention the most was the turtle shell in the old man’s left hand.

"Turtle Shell River Map?"

Gao Xuan had seen this item before. The Turtle Shell River Map was a top-tier marvel, even a random fragment was of the golden tier.

However, using the Turtle Shell River Map had a high threshold. Even if it were given to him, he wouldn’t be able to use it.

Gao Xuan then noticed the short-haired beauty beside the man, looking cold and quite cool.

This beauty couldn’t be over twenty-seven, yet was clearly at the Level 10 Source Power tier. There was a strong source power reaction on her belt. This was a biochemical battle armor.

"Another noble family lady."

Gao Xuan wasn’t surprised; those who achieved something at this age were almost all noble youths.

Like him, relying on his talent and hard work to rise up, were too few.

Gao Xuan’s spiritual power was immensely strong, easily capable of wandering to the space fortress hundreds of thousands of kilometers away. Viewing Mingjing City was like observing lines on his palm.

Even strong figures like Ye Qianqiu, Xiao Bie Li, and Luojia would have all perception suppressed by the Six-winged Celestial Cicada. Let alone Gong Hao.

Gong Hao didn’t notice anything wrong but always felt a bit uncomfortable. It was like entering a low-oxygen area; breathing seemed fine, but he felt faint all over.

Yet he couldn’t find where there was a problem, feeling somewhat unsure inside.

Xiao Wan also noticed the subtle change in Gong Hao’s emotions. As a tenth-level powerhouse, her perception was too keen. The two sides were also so close.

"Mr. Gong, is something wrong?" she asked.

Gong Hao sighed: "Nothing’s wrong."

He added in his heart, it’s not right when nothing is wrong!

The flying ship directly docked at the top floor of the Yuanlong Mansion, where reception personnel were already waiting.

Gong Hao’s group alighted the flying ship and were led to the top floor reception room.

Wei Yue and Wei Ming personally welcomed them at the door. Although Gong Hao did not have an official status, the name of the Nine Palace Divine Calculation was well-known in the Twelve Star Domains.

For such a high personage, Wei Yue was still very courteous, even if the other party was here to seek out Blood Shadow.

Gong Hao was also very polite; the Skywalker Gene Potion made by the Yuanlong Group was very impressive, with excellent effects. It was now selling well across the Twelve Star Domains. The Yuanlong Group’s future was limitless.

After exchanging pleasantries, they all entered the reception room together.

Yan Qingge and Yan Qingfeng were also present. The two had come to witness the event after hearing the renowned name of the Nine Palace Divine Calculation.

These two were born into noble families, with Yan Qingge being a tenth-level swordsman. Gong Hao did not dare underestimate them, being very courteous in his greeting.

Xiao Wan gave Yan Qingge a deep look, her gaze unfriendly.

The two were about the same age, and even their personal temperaments were similar, only Xiao Wan was colder and more arrogant.

Yan Qingge had been disciplined by Blood Shadow several times, and his pride had been subdued. He now appeared more composed.

Yet under Xiao Wan’s provocation, Yan Qingge’s gaze became sharp.

Wei Yue noticed the situation was not good and quickly exchanged a glance with Wei Ming.

Wei Ming laughed heartily: "Mr. Gong has come all the way to Mingjing City; what brings you here? If there’s any way we can assist, please feel free to speak."

Such Jianghu niceties were said perfectly by Wei Ming.

Being an experienced person in the Jianghu, Gong Hao naturally wouldn’t take the pleasantries seriously. He smiled and said, "The Skywalker Gene Potion is effective and sells well in the Twelve Star Domains. As I had the chance to visit Mingjing, I naturally wanted to pay a visit to you distinguished individuals."

"You are too kind. It’s a stroke of luck, a stroke of luck..." Wei Ming waved his hand repeatedly, a face full of humility.

The two old Jianghu people chatted in twists and turns, speaking quite happily.

Xiao Wan listened for a while on the side and grew a bit impatient, as Gong Hao was talking nonsense without mentioning the real business.

Xiao Wan couldn’t hold back, and she bluntly interrupted: "President Wei, do you know Blood Shadow?"

Such a direct and impolite inquiry was entirely an offense to Wei Yue.

Especially the name "Blood Shadow," which seemed to carry some kind of magic. Yan Qingge, Yan Qingfeng, Wei Yue, and Wei Ming all lost their smiles.

The atmosphere became not only awkward but also very tense.

Gong Hao didn’t know how to smooth things over, ultimately giving a bitter smile to Wei Ming, indicating it was not his intention.

Wei Ming nodded in understanding, knowing Gong Hao couldn’t have acted so crudely. Only noble youths ignorant of the severity of the world would have such demeanor.

Wei Yue displayed a faultless polite smile: "I don’t know why Major Xiao is asking this? Apologies, I do not know Blood Shadow."

Xiao Wan glared at Wei Yue with a gaze sharp as a sword: "Blood Shadow has angered many; President Wei protecting Blood Shadow is unwise."

At these words, the reception room’s atmosphere plummeted to the freezing point.
