King of Assassins-Chapter 764 - 563 Fishing

The Evil Gods have been spreading within the Alliance for thousands of years, with countless believers.

The Holy Hall has only been established for twenty years. To think of destroying the faith in Evil Gods within twenty years is absolutely impossible.

Yun Qingshang understands this as well. For the past twenty years, she has been leading the Holy Hall, employing the strategies left by Gao Xuan, which mandates the execution of the chief culprits.

The rest of the Evil God believers are captured and tried according to procedures, with death being almost inevitable for mid-level to high-level followers. The lower-level believers are concentrated in a Star Realm for managed education.

This Star Realm is semi-sealed, only allowing entry but not exit.

How the Evil God believers inside spread among themselves is left to their own devices.

This method has drawn much criticism and opposition, yet it has been staunchly enforced by the Holy Hall.

Trash should go to the landfill, not stay in people's homes to disgust them.

Furthermore, this method indeed has immediate effects. Places cleaned afterward will not see the Evil God's believers cropping up in waves again.

However, most noble families have unspeakably complex relationships with the Evil Gods.

These families, realizing they cannot oppose the Holy Hall, have restrained themselves. At least on the surface, they won't show obvious flaws.

The Holy Hall's foundation is ultimately too shallow, and although its influence is expanding quickly, the internal quality remains uneven.

Especially with many noble youths entering the Holy Hall with varying purposes.

It's easier to deal with those who openly cause trouble. The real danger lies with those who are adept at disguising themselves.

Yun Qingshang maintains a strong external pressure while continually cleansing internally.

Because the Holy Hall wields too much power, a problem with one Hall Master can cause massive issues for an entire Star Realm.

In these twenty years, Yun Qingshang has worked diligently without a single day of rest. She's wary of causing issues for the Holy Hall or sabotaging Gao Xuan's grand plans.

Yet, Yun Qingshang also realizes that the Evil Gods haven't disappeared but are hiding in the shadows, gathering strength.

They're just waiting for a suitable opportunity to erupt uncontrollably.

Because Gao Xuan is nowhere to be found, the opposing party remains cautious. They don't dare to rashly make a move against her.

Yun Qingshang is keenly aware of this and silently makes various preparations.

Upon hearing that Gao Xuan appeared on Pegasus Star, Yun Qingshang knew the situation was critical. She rushed over without hesitation.

Yun Qingshang also reached Pegasus Star by continuously leaping through several Star Realms using the Spear of Freedom.

Due to this situation, she only brought Qingyi Fei Niao along.

Though Yun Qingshang had much to say to Gao Xuan, upon seeing him, her heart became calm.

No matter how urgent the matter, a moment's delay wouldn't make a difference.

Qingyi Fei Niao understood the urgency but remained silent since Yun Qingshang did as well.

Most importantly, upon seeing Gao Xuan, Qingyi Fei Niao's heart also settled. Gao Xuan indeed possessed an extraordinary charm.

This charm was not just about his handsome demeanor but also his ability to win trust and inspire.

Yun Qingshang and Qingyi Fei Niao took their seats, both being not very talkative. The others respected and feared Yun Qingshang, making the atmosphere somewhat quiet and oppressive.

Fortunately, Gao Xuan was eloquent and good at adjusting the mood. Everyone soon started chatting and laughing, making the atmosphere lively again.

The group could be considered old friends. Including Yun Qingshang and Qingyi Fei Niao, everyone was very familiar with each other.

Reuniting after twenty years, everyone was eager to talk. Especially Fang Zheng and Jiang Yuan, who were older and quickly got tipsy after drinking the wine Gao Xuan brought.

The more they talked, the more uninhibited they became. Even Wei Yue, after drinking some of this wine, began to talk more.

The group, while chatting, started discussing Blood Shadow.

This was originally a secret everyone understood but didn't speak of. As Gao Xuan's position and status grew, no one dared mention it.

Fang Zheng, slightly drunk, praised Blood Shadow, saying that even twenty years ago, Gao Xuan stirred up Pegasus Star, turning clouds into rain with great skill.

Gao Xuan realized the old man was a bit tipsy, but this wasn't something that needed hiding. He casually responded with a few words.

Seeing Gao Xuan speaking so openly, everyone else relaxed even more.

Though everyone agreed that Gao Xuan was Blood Shadow, hearing him admit it himself made a difference.

Clearly, Gao Xuan held them in high regard, which is why he admitted it publicly.

Being an assassin didn't exactly bring honor if word got out.

Even with Yun Qingshang's indifferent nature, hearing the discussion of events from twenty years ago, left her feeling rather nostalgic.

Back then, she and Gao Xuan were assassins, living every day in fear. Life was very tense every day.

Looking back now, those days were truly interesting.

But after taking charge of the Holy Hall, even though she commands the Alliance, there's nothing amusing about it. It's all sorts of issues every day, leading to great frustration.

The group chatted and laughed until Fang Zheng was completely drunk, his words beginning to lose coherence, only then did everyone disperse.

Qingyi Qianhe, having a good relationship with Fang Zheng, volunteered to escort the old man home. Qingyi Fei Ling, not wanting to follow her father, preferred to be with her sister.

Although the sisters had only met twice, and didn't have deep feelings for each other, she just wanted to follow Gao Xuan.

The girl's idea, however, was sternly stopped by Qingyi Qianhe.

After driving Fang Zheng back to the Sword Washing Studio, Qingyi Qianhe took his daughter back to his car and then solemnly warned his daughter, "You are not allowed to speak of anything you heard today."

Qingyi Fei Ling pouted with a bit of grievance, "I'm not stupid, I won't blabber."

She was already seventeen, and of course, understood that the private conversations at such banquets were not to be spread around. She found her father's explanation rather boring.

Qingyi Qianhe shook his head vigorously, "You don't understand, this matter is too important. As long as a bit gets out, your life will be over. Your sister would be implicated by you."

Seeing his daughter's disapproving face, Qingyi Qianhe sighed deeply, "Mr. Gao's status is so high. The Holy Hall is so powerful. The more it is so, the more enemies he has around him. The gossip that gets out might not affect him, but the price is something you can't bear."

Seeing his daughter's face of grievance, Qingyi Qianhe intensified his tone and wore a sterner expression, "Wherever Mr. Gao stands, that place will become the center of a whirlpool. If you hover nearby, a little storm can crush you to powder.

"Listen to me, stay away from him. As for your sister, she must stand by Mr. Gao."

Gao Xuan is very good to Qingyi Fei Niao, supporting her with various resources. Qingyi Fei Niao has now become the Golden Sword Saint, and at this time, of course, she has to guard Gao Xuan's side.

The reasoning is quite simple. It's just that Qingyi Fei Ling is too young to understand these things.

Qingyi Qianhe felt very uneasy because the sudden return of such a figure as Gao Xuan was not a good thing for Mingjing.

If things really go wrong, Pegasus Star could be destroyed.

Meanwhile, Gao Xuan and Yun Qingshang were chatting by Songyun Lake. They were also talking about Gao Xuan's safety issues.

"You don't seem to be well?"

Yun Qingshang had noticed that something was off about Gao Xuan's condition, and given her relationship with him, she naturally had to ask directly.

"Heavily injured. Not doing well."

Gao Xuan praised, "Not seen in twenty years, you've become even more formidable."

Yun Qingshang glanced at Gao Xuan, "I rushed over because I was afraid something might happen to you."

She said seriously, "You've been absent for twenty years, and the enemies didn't dare show themselves. Now that you've appeared on Pegasus Star, the demons and monsters that have been enduring for twenty years will surely be unable to hold back."

Yun Qingshang looked at the deep lake under the starlight, "Pegasus Star is not a good place for battle."

"The Source Power Law restrains everyone equally."

Gao Xuan said, "I actually like fighting here."

Yun Qingshang asked, "How do you plan to deal with them if they deploy an interstellar fleet?"

The special Source Power Law of Pegasus Star strictly limits Source Power within Level 10.

In such a Source Power environment, the level of power that powerful individuals can wield is limited. For the inhabitants of the planet, a low Source Power environment is actually safer.

The special Source Power environment also makes cultivation more difficult. However, the foundation built in such an environment is indeed more solid.

Some noble youths also come to a place like Pegasus Star for cultivation, just to establish a strong foundation.

The restrictions of the Source Power environment are very disadvantageous for the powerful. In such an environment, the threat of technological weapons against the strong increases dramatically.

Given the top-level cultivation of people like Gao Xuan and Yun Qingshang, they theoretically should not enter Pegasus Star, or even the Twelve Star Domain.

After all, the Source Power level across the Twelve Star Domain is very low, limiting their power ceiling.

This means Gao Xuan could be defeated, even killed, by technological weapons.

For any enemy, this is an irresistible temptation.

Yun Qingshang was worried about this, the opposing forces against Gao Xuan are so strong, they wouldn't hesitate to blow up Pegasus Star.

Gao Xuan understood Yun Qingshang's concerns, he leisurely said, "I just want to see who has the guts to kill me."

"You're being reckless even while heavily injured."

Yun Qingshang was really worried about Gao Xuan; given his current state, shouldn't he be recovering from his injuries instead of fishing for trouble?

"Everyone has been holding back for twenty years; they need to be given a chance to vent."

Gao Xuan said, "After being dealt with, they will behave for a while."

Yun Qingshang paused and said, "The Master of Blood, Master of Shadows, and Master of Desire, the three major Evil Gods, have already joined forces. This time, seeing the opportunity, they might indeed descend in person."

"Hahahahaha..."

Gao Xuan couldn't help but laugh, "I would love for them to come all together."

He muttered to himself, "There's nothing I can do while they're hiding in their rat holes. If they dare show their heads, and I can't crush them with one palm, consider it my loss."

Yun Qingshang looked at Gao Xuan a bit skeptically; she was so familiar with Gao Xuan that sometimes she couldn't tell if Gao Xuan was joking or serious.

She asked, "Do you have any plans?"

"I want to walk around Beibing Continent, see the ice and snow, and also look at the places we once lived and fought…"

The news of Gao Xuan going to Beibing Continent quickly spread through various channels.

In the depth of space two hundred million kilometers away from Pegasus Star, a sudden crimson light ring flashed, and a fully organized fleet emerged from the ring.
