King of Assassins-Chapter 187 - 176 King of Angels

"Ah, spit!"

Nuwa lightly spat, "You wish."

Her five-colored eyes turned, "I can keep you too, but you have to listen to me."

"Forget it, I’ll just keep striving."

Nuwa asked with disdain, "I heard you inherited a large fortune, are you getting rich? You’ve struck it rich overnight!"

"A few lawyers are very greedy."

Gao Xuan said, "It’s a bit of a hassle."

Nuwa eagerly said, "I can help you solve it, I’ll ensure they all die naturally. All the property will be transferred to you. Including their property."

"Thanks, but no need."

Gao Xuan could handle those guys, but not right now.

"So how are you planning to resolve it then?"

Nuwa said with a smile, "You’re not going to find Wei Yue, are you?"

"No need for such trouble. I’ve already found Principal Luo Dong City. Having him step in and say something is enough."

Luo Dong City is the principal of Mingjing University, with a high enough status and immense influence. One word from him could ruin the reputation of those lawyers. As long as the lawyers still want to live, they can only obediently comply.

As a genius student at Mingjing University, it’s only natural for Gao Xuan to seek help from the school when in need.

When things can be resolved in a reasonable manner, there’s no need for special methods. After it’s over, he can deal with those guys however he wants.

"Is your lover really dead?"

Nuwa said with some contempt, "You’re truly a scumbag, using people up, and when they’re dead, you still take all their property."

That battle of Gao Xuan’s was too intense, with all kinds of intense electromagnetic interference, Nuwa didn’t know the specific details of the fight.

She just found it a bit strange; even though Gao Xuan was a scumbag, he wouldn’t deliberately let his lover die to profit from their death. Looking at Gao Xuan’s state, Bai Yutang was likely not dead.

Of course, all Tianwang data on Bai Yutang had disappeared.

Gao Xuan gently stroked the Guardian Ring on his left hand, "You’re just a little child, you don’t understand adult matters."

Nuwa glanced at Gao Xuan’s Guardian Ring, "Has this ring mutated? It’s rare for a Marvel to mutate."

Nuwa couldn’t harness Source Power, but with her Heart of Data, she had long noticed something was off with Gao Xuan’s Guardian Ring.

She just couldn’t delve deep into the ring and didn’t know what exactly had changed with the Guardian Ring.

"Sister Wa, do you have any information on the Guardian Ring? Give me a copy."

Gao Xuan wasn’t sure about the situation with the Guardian Ring; he needed more information.

In the five-colored bright eyes of Nuwa, countless data lights flickered, and she instantly searched for the related information.

She said, somewhat surprised, "The Guardian Ring has a notable origin; it’s said to be a piece of the Angel King’s Set of combination Marvels."

"Angel King?"

Gao Xuan had heard of it; this combination Marvel was quite famous, claimed to be one of the strongest Golden Marvels.

Of course, it was just a claim. How strong the Angel King actually was, Gao Xuan had never seen.

He also did not know the Guardian Ring was part of the Angel King’s Set.

Gao Xuan pondered and said, "Looks like I’ll have to collect the entire Angel King’s set."

"World-Ending Spear, Bright Armor, Sovereign Crown, Six-winged Holy Light, along with the Guardian Ring, this is the full Angel King’s Set."

Nuwa explained, "The World-Ending Spear symbolizes invincibility in attack, the Bright Armor is impregnable, the Sovereign Crown symbolizes powerful will, the Six-winged Holy Light symbolizes divine purity, and the Guardian Ring symbolizes the highest covenant."

Nuwa shook her head, "Apart from the Guardian Ring, the others are all Golden Marvels. Two of them are clearly in the hands of Golden Powerhouses. I don’t think you have any hope of collecting the full Angel King’s Set."

"One must always have dreams. What if they come true."

Gao Xuan wasn’t in a hurry, as Bai Yutang’s status was still very stable. The Angel King was just temporarily on the agenda.

He figured he’d research these things later when he reached the Silver Level.

The immediate priority was to prepare for the Level 10 Gene Sequence Evolution.

With the Six-winged Celestial Cicada and a near-perfect Aurora Sword Technique, he wouldn’t stray off path in cultivation, and he had a clear evolutionary path.

However, at the node of the Level 10 Gene Sequence Evolution, he could choose to load a powerful Marvel for assistance.

This Marvel was the Undying Golden Cicada.

Though the Celestial Demon Relic was good, it was of no help to him now. Yet, the Undying Golden Cicada could evolve his gene sequence into an Undying Body.

Why experts like Luojia have resurrection methods is because Marvels have their own rules. As long as you conform to the rules, a person can be resurrected without adhering to any physical laws.

Of course, all forms of immortality come with various negative effects.

It’s like playing Honor of Kings; if you wear a Resurrection Armor, you can revive once, but your Magic Resistance and Physical Resistance won’t be good.

The resurrections of people like Heartless Sword and Ye Qianqiu come at a huge price. At the very least, they lose thirty percent of their Divine Soul and Power. But in exchange for a life, it could be worth it.

The truly powerful is Luojia; each time a Seven Emotions Clone is lost, the power doubles, nearly perfec

In that sense, the Celestial Demon Relic is incredibly powerful. Unfortunately, he couldn’t take that path, even with the Secret Technique.

His Lifebound Marvel was the Six-winged Celestial Cicada, aiming for perfection in body and mind, so this was not the way for him.

The Undying Golden Cicada was the Marvel that best matched him. It could also be considered part of the Six-winged Celestial Cicada.

These Marvels are closely connected and compatible with each other. They can form a set, much like the Angel King’s Set.

"Didn’t I tell you? Two thousand Points."

On the matter of Points, Nuwa wouldn’t compromise, "This kind of highly classified information comes at a high price."

The Twelve Sages hold the highest authority, but the Heart of Data has an independent database and does not share data with the Twelve Sages.

Because essentially, the Heart of Data is an independent administrator, with a rank higher than the Twelve Sages. As an independent intelligent entity, the Heart of Data can’t possibly share all its data with other beings.

Gao Xuan steeled himself, "I’ll buy it for two thousand points. Go ahead, tell me."

Although there’s a membership fee, there’s still a few months to go. Right now, the whereabouts of the Undying Golden Cicada are more important.

Nuwa beamed, "I really admire your generosity."

"Hurry up and spit it out, no nonsense," Gao Xuan said irritably. This woman is way too stingy, can’t get any advantage from her.

"You’re lucky, the Undying Golden Cicada is in the hands of the Xiao family."

Nuwa said, "That little girl Xiao Wan is a direct descendant of the Xiao family. It’s a good thing you didn’t kill her."

As she spoke, she suddenly looked at Gao Xuan in surprise, "Did you know this all along, is that why you didn’t kill Xiao Wan?"

"I don’t like killing people..."

Gao Xuan looked innocent, "If others act normally, I have no reason to kill them."

Gao Xuan only kills those who absolutely must die. Whether it’s Gong Hao, Xiao Wan, or Yan Qingge, none of them had direct conflicts with him, nor were they personal enemies, so he wouldn’t kill them on a whim.

Nuwa laughed, "Blood Shadow doesn’t like killing people, that’s a cold joke."

"With the Undying Golden Cicada in the Xiao family’s hands, this might be a bit tricky to handle."

The Xiao family is one of the major military factions in the Twelve Star Domain, with tremendous influence. He really didn’t have any good methods to get the Undying Golden Cicada at the moment.

However, knowing the target, he’ll eventually find a way.

"Sister Wa, you make earning those two thousand points seem too easy."

Gao Xuan complained, "At least provide me with more details."

"The Undying Golden Cicada fell into the hands of the Xiao family a thousand years ago and has no record of being used ever since. I guess it’s hidden in the Xiao family’s treasure vault. Of course, it might also be in the hands of someone in the Xiao family." free𝑤ebnovel.com

Nuwa said a bit aggrieved, "Even the patriarch of the Xiao family might have forgotten they have the Undying Golden Cicada. Only I know such hidden information.

"Two thousand points is far from too much! I’ll also give you detailed information on the important figures of the Xiao family’s direct lineage. Is that enough?"

Seeing that Gao Xuan’s expression still wasn’t good, she suggested, "If you marry Xiao Wan, you could infiltrate the Xiao family. Then you could get the Undying Golden Cicada."

"I sincerely thank you," Gao Xuan thanked.

"No need to be polite between us siblings."

Nuwa indeed accepted it all good-naturedly, smiling as she said, "Xiao Wan is the current patriarch’s sixth granddaughter, considered one of the top talents of her generation. She is quite valued in her family."

Gao Xuan waved his hand, "Xiao Wan has a face of frigidity, not interested. I have my dignity and won’t sell myself for external things."

Nuwa chuckled, thinking it would be surprising if Gao Xuan had integrity!

In the great military faction family of the Xiao family, internal fights are fierce, and their external methods are even harsher. Even if one truly wanted to use a beauty trap, it wouldn’t be so easy.

Just thinking about it exhausted Gao Xuan, he sighed and asked, "I’m still short ten thousand points for the membership fee, Sister Wa, any recommendations?"

"There’s not much of value on Pegasus Star. I want to give you points, but it’s difficult."

Nuwa said, "You’ll definitely go to Taurus in December, where there are quite a few valuable targets, I’ll notify you then. Time-wise, it should be enough."

December is the Twelve Star Domain’s Sword Dao finals, where champion teams from the Twelve Star Domain will gather on Taurus.

Taking that opportunity to complete some tasks would be convenient. Maybe he could also seize the chance to get the Undying Golden Cicada, completing the Genetic Sequence Evolution. Then he could advance to Silver.

Nuwa asserted credit again, "I eavesdropped on the military net for you, and Mu Guofeng suppressed the issue. The matter of the Space Fortress main gun being activated won’t be pursued at the top of the Alliance anymore."

"That’s good news."

Gao Xuan wasn’t surprised, the Alliance is massive, the elite class has already formed layers of networks through blood ties.

As long as Mu Guofeng seals the information and handles a couple of key figures above, the matter won’t escalate.

In nature, the activation of the Space Fortress main gun is exceedingly vile.

However, in the context of the Twelve Star Domain, it’s actually just a trivial matter.

As long as no one pursues it, it’ll be treated as a regular misfire. There’s no need for any official record.

Gao Xuan, understanding the Alliance’s operational style, was certain that Mu Guofeng, for the sake of his own reputation, would certainly suppress the matter.

This reflects human nature’s tendency to seek benefits and avoid harm; it’s not complicated.

Of course, Mu Guofeng could choose to launch an elaborate investigation, but whatever he finds, he’d have to step down.

He’s already a hundred years old, with a vast Mu family behind him. He also has numerous allies. A figure like Mu Guofeng would never act impulsively.

Of course, the Alliance’s military won’t pursue the issue, but Mu Guofeng certainly won’t let it go easily.

The Space Fortress is, after all, his prized possession, being casually tampered with is unacceptable to him.

Xiao Wan staying in Mingjing City without leaving clearly indicates Mu Guofeng’s stance.

In recent days, all sorts of people have been gathering in Mingjing City, including remnants of the Black Dragon Association and Blood God Association, spies from Zhongjing, and informants from major noble families...

Everyone’s watching Mingjing City like hawks, and Gao Xuan doesn’t want to stir up trouble.

The next day, Feng Zheng sent a message, asking Gao Xuan to go to the notary office for some formalities, allowing him to officially receive Bai Yutang’s inheritance.

Gao Xuan sighed while holding Bai Yutang’s hand, "Sister Tang, you just misjudged people. The lawyer you found was unreliable, and you ended up losing your life over a boyfriend..."

Bai Yutang gently kissed Gao Xuan’s cheek, hugging his neck as she softly said, "The lawyer was unreliable, but the boyfriend is exceptionally good."

"Sister Tang, I will definitely get you the King of Angels."

Gao Xuan said seriously, "This is my promise."

Bai Yutang smiled charmingly, "I really like things the way they are now, I just want to stay with you, never to part..."
