King of Assassins-Chapter 934 - 652: Promise

"One Second Grade, three Third Grade, three Fourth Grade. This harvest is quite bountiful."

Back in the Holy Hall, Shui Yunlan summarized the results of the battle and said to Gao Xuan, "We can at least get 400,000 points as a reward. I will keep my promise, so rest assured."

Gao Xuan nodded. Although Shui Yunlan had her flaws, her basic character was decent.

Shui Yunlan said, "I have already submitted a request to headquarters to end the investigation here. In a couple of days, we can go back."

She said, "During this time, you can wander around here and buy some specialties."

Shui Yunlan said indifferently, "Barring any surprises, we won't have the chance to come back to Sea Emperor Star."

Shui Yunlan emphasized, "I detest this place."

Back in the room, Yuan Youyuan couldn't help but vent to Gao Xuan, "She has killed at least several billion people here; I'm afraid the people here detest her even more!"

Gao Xuan said, "Maybe, but whether they detest or like her doesn't really matter to her. Once too many people die, the ones left don't fight anymore."

"You're so indifferent."

Yuan Youyuan, being more sentimental, said, "The Thumb Demon Spirit is so cute, and it's different from those Evil Gods."

"How is it different?" Gao Xuan asked.

"I always felt that the Thumb Demon Spirit is very profound, thoughtful, and not really evil."

"Binding billions of believers to live and die together is more terrifying than other Evil Gods."

Gao Xuan was very rational; he didn't think the Thumb Demon Spirit was kind. Besides, using good or evil to judge Evil Gods is inherently problematic.

Yuan Youyuan was right about one thing: the Thumb Demon Spirit was very wise, and its control over time was astonishing.

This Evil God should have had the chance to leave, yet it stayed in place, waiting to die. Quite peculiar indeed.

What the Thumb Demon Spirit said also seemed to have an underlying meaning.

More importantly, this time, a lot of people died on Sea Emperor Star. Gao Xuan estimated roughly at least several billion.

Sea Emperor Star reportedly had a population of 40 billion, but even so, the death of several billion is an exceedingly terrifying number.

With so many dead, who knows how much power is needed just for the aftermath.

Shui Yunlan killed freely, but she typically isn't responsible for the aftermath. All post-battle affairs were left for the Sea Emperor Star Sanctuary to handle.

The Sea Emperor Star Sanctuary mobilized nearly all its forces, constantly cleaning up after Shui Yunlan.

Despite this, the death toll and the enormous damage caused will take decades to recover from.

Shui Yunlan killed with pleasure, but she did not notice that the souls of the dead were absorbed by some power.

At Shui Yunlan's level, she couldn't see this. Even Jin Yijun couldn't see it if he were here.

The power absorbing the souls of the dead was incredibly mysterious, not quite like any existing Cultivation System.

It more resembled the power of a Divine Artifact.

Of course, Gao Xuan wouldn't mention these things to Shui Yunlan or anyone else.

After the Seven Great Evil Gods were killed, he also finally confirmed that one's location. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Seizing the time he had left, he definitely wanted to take a look.

Gao Xuan guided Yuan Youyuan in cultivation, leading her Divine Soul into deep meditation.

This matter couldn't involve Yuan Youyuan. Although the other might be an old acquaintance, after a thousand years, who knows how things have changed and what the attitude is now.

If it came to a fight, he wasn't confident he could win.

Gao Xuan didn't hide his tracks as he left the Holy Hall's front gate, wandering around Divine King Island.

The Paradise Palace, destroyed by Shui Yunlan, had surprisingly been restored to its original state. The surrounding buildings that were destroyed were also rebuilt.

With intelligent machinery combined with special plastic printing technology, construction is very easy, as long as there's enough funding.

Buildings can be easily restored to their original state, but the dead cannot be resurrected.

During this time, with Shui Yunlan's killing spree, there was panic everywhere. Divine King City might be nice, but no one wanted to visit anymore.

The entrance to Paradise Palace was deserted.

The welcoming beauties at the door, the eye-catching virtual projections, had all disappeared. Only the three glowing words on the plaque, "Paradise Palace," remained.

For an entertainment venue of this level, this was disastrous.

Gao Xuan entered Paradise Palace, finding it empty. The luxurious palace-style decoration made the place seem even more desolate.

Gao Xuan walked around Paradise Palace and found an elevator leading underground.

The elevator was also refurbished, leading directly to the thirtieth floor underground.

At the bottom level, Gao Xuan stepped out of the elevator into a circular arena.

It used to host various martial contests, possibly even some bloody illegal duels.

To make money, capitalists dare to do anything, especially here in the Outer Star Realm.

Now, the reconstructed circular fighting ground was very clean, and the surrounding tiered seating was empty.

Because no one was there, the lighting equipment wasn't activated.

Only Gao Xuan, with his keen perception, wasn't affected by the dim environment, able to clearly see the surroundings.

Gao Xuan walked to the center of the circular arena, where a black bull's emblem was painted.

The bull had scarlet eyes and bulging muscles, appearing quite ferocious.

Gao Xuan glanced down at the bull and lightly sighed, saying, "Sir, won't you come out and meet me?"

In the darkness, only Gao Xuan's voice echoed in the empty arena.

After waiting for a while without a response, he said again, "Since you wield the Netherworld King's Saber, we must be old acquaintances. Why not come out and catch up..."

A long sigh echoed in the darkness, and a shadow emerged from the underground.

The somewhat ethereal shadow, like a plume of black smoke, shaped itself into the form of a tall, muscular man in a black robe. Yet the swirling smoke made the figure appear very ephemeral.
