King of Assassins-Chapter 805 - 596: Rules

The Holy Hall is the largest and strongest organization in the Alliance. It holds independent law enforcement rights, as well as the power to supervise, impeach, and other significant authorities.

Even three-year-olds in the Alliance know that the Holy Hall sits high above. Although theoretically parallel to the Alliance government, in practice, the Holy Hall exerts a strong control over it.

After a thousand years of unchecked development, the Holy Hall has become a dominating force within the Alliance.

Generally speaking, no one would provoke members of the Holy Hall—unless they are brainless believers of the Evil God.

However, where there are people, there is Jianghu.

The Holy Hall is so vast, with countless factions within it.

As far as Gao Xuan knows, the biggest issue within the Holy Hall now is the intense internal conflict. When Holy Hall personnel have problems, everyone's first reaction is that it's another internal conflict.

On a remote star realm like Pegasus Star, there is only one Holy Hall, located in Zhongjing City.

Zhongjing is also the most prosperous area of the East Continent, and it is controlled by the Yuanlong Company.

Someone within the Holy Hall was killed, and both the Sword Box and the Holy Armor were lost. This is a big deal. As the strongest major company in the East Continent, Yuanlong Company must do its best to cooperate with the Holy Hall and provide them with a reasonable explanation.

Yuanlong Company takes this matter very seriously, especially with reports that the assassin, carrying the Holy Armor and Sword Box, has arrived in Mingjing, prompting headquarters to mobilize.

Wei Ying also appears somewhat excited, as a middle manager; this matter is not directly related to her. However, she sees it as a great opportunity to prove herself.

Catching the assassin and recovering the Holy Armor and Sword Box would be a significant accomplishment.

Wei Ying always felt she had no prestige in the company. After all, she was parachuted in, and her tenure was too short, making her susceptible to the intentional exclusion by other middle managers.

As a prominent heiress of the Wei Family, she had never suffered such setbacks.

That's why Wei Ying's top priority is to prove herself.

Having seized the Divine Crystal made her stand out, but it also brought more criticism.

Especially from the Special Services Department, who believe the Field Department merely picks up the easy gains from the outskirts. The hard work is theirs, but the Divine Crystal ends up with the Field Department, which understandably frustrates them.

Wei Ying, though not admitting defeat vocally, is aware internally that the matter was rather fortuitous. She is eager to accomplish another major feat to humiliate the Special Services Department.

This current significant matter represents her best chance to prove herself.

"According to the information, this time the assassin is a member of the White Tiger Cult."

Wei Ying then opens a light screen and shares the White Tiger Cult's information with Gao Xuan, "This is internal information; don't share it with others."

Gao Xuan skims through it, finding that the White Tiger Cult is quite powerful, and its followers are known for their belligerence.

However, the White Tiger Cult's base is in Nanyuan Province and rarely appears in the East Continent.

This time, they've sent assassins who ended up in Mingjing, seems like they're stirring up trouble.

Despite Wei Ying's youth, she knows there must be complicated underlying reasons behind the scenes.

The White Tiger Cult, although strong, probably wouldn't dare to provoke the Holy Hall.

But driven by her desire for merit, she's uninterested in the reasons behind it. As long as she finds the Sword Box and Holy Armor, it'll be a significant achievement.

Afraid that Gao Xuan might not understand, she provides him with a detailed explanation of the Holy Armor and Sword Box.

The Holy Armor is a biochemical battle armor provided by the Holy Hall to its Paladins. This biochemical battle armor is also equipped with runes, making it a powerful technological rune device.

Generally, Holy Armor, once linked by DNA and Divine Soul fluctuations, is unusable by others.

However, there are certain methods that can bypass the restrictions and take control of the Holy Armor.

Despite the slain paladin being only third-level, making the Holy Armor not particularly powerful, it's still worth at least tens of millions.

The protective power of the Holy Armor is immense; modern infantry weapons pose virtually no threat to it. Even a Hou Yi Electromagnetic Heavy Sniper does little.

If such equipment falls into the hands of Evil God's believers, it would become extremely dangerous.

The Holy Hall's Sword Box is even more formidable. It's said that the swords inside are made of special alloys that are indestructible.

If necessary, it can transform into a Light Saber in a short time and even remotely control sword movement.

Paladins roam the Alliance, relying on the Holy Armor and Sword Box.

Normally, when a paladin is killed, these two Magical Artifacts immediately self-destruct. What method was used this time is unknown, but they seized the Holy Armor and Sword Box.

The Holy Hall, a colossal organization, never fears casualties. However, the Holy Armor and Sword Box involve highly confidential matters within the Holy Hall, and must not fall into outsider hands.

That's why the Holy Hall promptly sent experts. According to Wei Ying's information, leading the team this time is an eighth-level Paladin named Yuan Ping'an, accompanied by several other paladins.

Keep in mind that even the Pegasus Star Holy Hall Master is only ninth-level, dispatching an eighth-level paladin underscores the Holy Hall's exceptional focus on this mission.

Wei Ying instructed Gao Xuan, "You never know when Holy Hall members might arrive, so first take people to investigate the situation. At the very least, ensure the local gangs stay in line and don't assist the assassin."

Mingjing is vast, and underground there is a huge complex rumored to accommodate millions.

The company has tacitly acknowledged these people's existence, and implicitly disregards the matters of the underground world. As long as they don't bother the company, who cares about the lives of the lowly?

This time the turmoil is significant, and who knows whom the assassin might contact? It's crucial to first intimidate the local gangs.

If local gangs assist, hiding one would be too easy. Even with the company's vast reach, finding the assassin would be like searching for a needle in a haystack.

This leniency towards the lower strata is intentional. Without it, how would chaos ensue in the underworld?
