King of Assassins-Chapter 757 - 559 Returning Home

Pegasus Star, Mingjing.

Wei Yue was resting and meditating in her bedroom, as she was busy with official duties every day and only had time to cultivate at night.

Source Power law restrictions exist on Pegasus Star, with the highest level being Level 10.

With Gao Xuan's help, Wei Zhen reached Level 10 early on. But at this stage, there was no further possibility of progress.

Unless, she left Pegasus Star.

Wei Zhen was not obsessed with individual power, and she knew she was not a cultivation genius.

Not to mention compared to Qingyi Fei Niao, even Jiang Xuejun was much stronger than her.

Now Jiang Xuejun had long become a tenth-level swordsman and was the Pegasus Star Holy Hall Master.

Everyone knew it was Gao Xuan's care that got Jiang Xuejun the position.

However, Jiang Xuejun herself was indeed very powerful.

In the past two years, with the continuous expansion of the Holy Hall, it had clearly become the strongest organization in the Alliance, recruiting many elites.

Most importantly, the people of the Holy Hall held a strong belief, a belief that was simply human supremacy.

This belief naturally resonated with the human race, and moreover, this resonance could transcend class.

Through this belief, the Holy Hall shifted the human race's conflicts outward.

Evil gods and alien races were targets of their crusades, including human followers who worshipped evil gods.

The Holy Hall had been established for twenty years, and although Gao Xuan had never appeared, its strength had rapidly expanded.

Because the Holy Hall relentlessly attacked the evil god's believers, especially showing no mercy towards the noble families, it left a very good reputation among common people.

The noble families also struggled, but just Yun Qingshang alone could sweep away all opposition.

For twenty years, Yun Qingshang alone subdued all the golden powerhouses in the Alliance.

Back then, Yun Qingshang was almost like Gao Xuan's shadow, always following him silently.

No one expected this quiet and cool girl to grow up to be so formidable.

Indeed, many people felt that Yun Qingshang was more formidable, even more domineering than Gao Xuan.

Although Gao Xuan was ruthless, he acted with discretion. Many things were negotiable, and he could even make certain concessions.

Yun Qingshang, on the other hand, had none of this. Anyone who opposed the Holy Hall would face unrelenting execution. No negotiations, and no concessions.

When the Holy Hall was first established, Gao Xuan disappeared, and the Hall encountered many troubles.

It was all Yun Qingshang's beheading and rivers of blood that preserved the Holy Hall's dignity and reputation.

Whenever Wei Yue thought of Yun Qingshang, she found it unbelievable.

However, it was precisely because of this special relationship with Gao Xuan and Yun Qingshang that Yuanlong Company continued to grow.

Now the Skywalker Gene Potion had general agents across all major star realms, selling well throughout the Alliance.

Yuanlong Company's market value ballooned like blowing air into a balloon.

Wei Yue clearly felt that with her capabilities, it was difficult to control such a giant company.

If it weren't for the Holy Hall's care, she would have been torn apart and devoured by the major noble families.

This insecurity was also why Wei Yue had not left Pegasus Star; she hadn't even left Mingjing City.

Wei Yue's daily cultivation was just to maintain her own state.

However, today, for some reason, she couldn't meditate, her mind spontaneously filled with all sorts of chaotic thoughts.

Wei Yue found it strange as well; her combat ability might be lacking, but her composure surpassed Wei Ming's.

Every time she meditated, her mind was as clear as a mirror. She had never encountered such a situation before.

She had a vague feeling as if something big was about to happen.

While Wei Yue was pondering, suddenly her spirit was shaken, and then someone appeared before her.

Wei Yue was startled, but as soon as she saw the person's face, she reacted immediately — it was Gao Xuan!

There was no mistaking it; Gao Xuan's face was too handsome!

Even in a moment of panic, seeing Gao Xuan's face was a sight to behold.

Honestly, Gao Xuan had been gone for over twenty years. They hadn't seen each other since then.

For Wei Yue, twenty years was a long time.

Seeing Gao Xuan's unparalleled handsome face again, she couldn't help but feel a bit unfamiliar.

Moreover, because of Gao Xuan's relationship with her daughter, when Gao Xuan was on Pegasus Star, she interacted with him in a senior capacity.

Now, however, Wei Yue couldn't put on the guise of a senior in front of Gao Xuan, yet they had no other relationship either.

Recognizing Gao Xuan, Wei Yue felt even more flustered. As a big boss, she didn't know how to interact with Gao Xuan.

Gao Xuan appeared so suddenly, and in such a mysterious way.

Looking at Gao Xuan's complexion again, he seemed a bit unwell. His bright and profound eyes revealed an undeniable weakness.

Wei Yue noticed something seemed off with Gao Xuan and became a bit anxious, not caring about addressing him anymore.

She asked with concern, "Are you... alright?"

Gao Xuan smiled at Wei Yue, "The carpet is quite nice, what a pity."

Before he finished speaking, he opened his mouth and spewed a mouthful of golden blood.

Blood fell on the snow-white pure wool carpet, immediately burning a large hole through it.

The specially-made hardwood floor was burned through with holes as well. Fortunately, the golden blood evaporated quickly, preventing damage to the plastic floor.

Gao Xuan spat out a mouthful of blood, his face turning a bit paler. Wiping the blood from his mouth, he smiled at Wei Yue and said, "Long time no see, Aunt Yue, you're still so young and beautiful."

Wei Yue felt a bit embarrassed being addressed this way; Gao Xuan, now the leader of the Alliance, commands authority that no one dares to defy.

As a mere businesswoman, she wasn't even qualified to meet Gao Xuan. But since he addressed her this way, she couldn't say otherwise. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

She smiled bitterly and asked, "What about your injury?"

At Gao Xuan's level of strength, even Wei Yue didn't know what to do about his injury and could only inquire from Gao Xuan himself.

"It's nothing serious. Just need to rest for a while."

The injury Gao Xuan sustained was very severe, but he didn't see the need to tell Wei Yue that.

He said, "Arrange a place for me to rest. I'll stay here for a few days. Don't tell anyone else."

Wei Yue quickly nodded, "I understand. You can stay at my place. It's clean and very safe."

Her place was on the upper floors of Yuanlong Mansion, complete with several bedrooms and all kinds of entertainment facilities. It also provided enough privacy with the highest level of security.

Staying here, outsiders definitely wouldn't be able to trace Gao Xuan.

"That's good."

Gao Xuan said, "I'm a bit tired. I'll go to sleep first. Let's talk tomorrow."

Gao Xuan was very spiritually exhausted and didn't have the energy for small talk with Wei Yue.

Wei Yue led Gao Xuan to a guestroom and also arranged for two intelligent robots to attend to Gao Xuan.

The intelligent robots in her room were completely offline, ensuring no secrets were leaked. They also performed well enough, with intelligence levels far higher than ordinary people.

The two beautiful intelligent robots helped Gao Xuan bathe, change into clean and soft pajamas, and quietly stood behind the bed after helping him onto it.

Gao Xuan was too spiritually exhausted. Forcing himself to the bed, he quickly fell into a deep sleep.

This sleep lasted without waking.

The second day, the third day, the fourth day...

Wei Yue was extremely anxious; she didn't dare tell anyone, nor did she dare to act too abnormal. She could only try to reduce her workload and sit by, watching over Gao Xuan whenever she could.

The sleeping Gao Xuan had ceased even his breathing, his heart had stopped, and no Source Power fluctuations could be sensed. He truly seemed like a dead person.

Only occasionally would Gao Xuan adjust his sleeping posture, proving he was still alive.

Wei Yue felt enormous psychological pressure but had nowhere to vent it. This only made her more anxious.

Even Wei Ming noticed Wei Yue's abnormal behavior. He asked her several times, but got nothing out of her.

Wei Ming too was confused; Wei Yue's odd behavior was inexplicable. Could it be menopause?

That was impossible. Medications now effectively regulated the human body's systems. Besides, Wei Yue was a Tenth-level Swordsman, able to control her body without the need for drugs.

Several times, Wei Yue considered discussing with Wei Ming. After all, Wei Ming was more advanced in Martial Dao and was an expert in biotechnology.

However, remembering Gao Xuan's instructions, she dared not act rashly.

Though Wei Ming was absolutely trustworthy, she wasn't in a position to make these judgments. Gao Xuan, being such a person, must have considered these factors.

Wei Yue understood well how high Gao Xuan's status and influence were. Whatever such a person said, she could only listen. She had no right to make decisions on her own.

After enduring this for thirty-seven days, on the afternoon of the thirty-eighth day, Gao Xuan finally opened his eyes.

Coincidentally, Wei Yue was keeping watch nearby. Seeing movement, she hurriedly stood up.

Gao Xuan smiled at Wei Yue, "You've had it tough."

Wei Yue nervously asked, "Are you okay now?"

Gao Xuan slowly sat up, speaking lightly, "I'm okay. It's nothing serious."

The giant hand, even with just a light touch, was hard to endure.

It was fortunate he had Horizontal Training Indestructible Golden Body and had also comprehended the Netherworld Sword. His Divine Soul and Primordial Spirit Unity, along with using the Netherworld Sword to transform life and death, barely saved him from being killed on the spot.

Now, on Gao Xuan's Divine Soul, there appeared a golden middle finger print. This fingerprint was merely half a fingertip, yet every ridge of the print was clear, and upon detailed observation, the print consisted of countless intricate runes connected together.

Just this half fingertip felt like the extremely heavy and profound earth. This fingerprint even penetrated the Mechanical Battle Cicada's Battle Armor and directly branded onto the depths of his Divine Soul, completely suppressing it.

His Divine Soul being suppressed severely limited Gao Xuan's Spiritual Power and disrupted his Primordial Unity.

Gao Xuan's Horizontal Training Indestructible Golden Body had healed about half of his physical injuries over the thirty-odd days of slumber. However, the fingerprint on his Divine Soul hadn't weakened at all; instead, it kept expanding.

This didn't feel good; without a way to curb the fingerprint, his Divine Soul would ultimately be destroyed by it.

Gao Xuan found it frustrating; he simply wanted to see what the other side looked like, but delayed a step and almost got himself killed.

If the golden giant hand had struck him fully, he would have died.

Immovable as the great earth, deeply pondering with secret insight.

Undoubtedly, the one who struck must be the Ksitigarbha King, possessing such extraordinary Divine Techniques.

It was realizing the situation wasn't right that Gao Xuan chose Wei Zhen. Because the Source Power Law on Pegasus Star was strict, limiting Source Power significantly.

The powerful Source Power Law also suppressed the Ksitigarbha King's power. However, this wasn't a long-term solution.

Gao Xuan didn't mention any of this to Wei Yue; saying it would only add to her worries.

He smiled, "How are Zhenzhen, Xuejun, and Little Bird doing? Now that I'm back, we should all gather..."
