King of Assassins-Chapter 810 - 599: Unexpected Occurrence

Gao Xuan glanced at Old Hei, who was still dazed, "Why are you still standing there? Go and immediately coordinate with the other action groups."

Old Hei was startled and quickly complied.

The members of the tenth action group hurriedly left, but Gao Xuan didn't linger. He took the elevator to the top floor of the Golden Fortune Mansion.

The Golden Fortune Mansion is very tall, located in the Sixth Ring District, surrounded by few high-rises. Standing on the rooftop, the view is quite expansive.

From here, looking towards the outer ring, one can take in the entire external landscape. Looking towards the inner ring, all you see are towering buildings.

The most eye-catching of them is the floating blue dragon above the Yuanlong Company Headquarter Tower. The virtual projection of the dragon roams the sky, its massive body flashing with blinding light, reminding others of its presence.

For a big company like Yuanlong, such a symbol is indeed ostentatious. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

However, this is also the company's promotional strategy. It constantly reinforces the company image, leaving a deep impression in everyone's mind.

Gao Xuan looked at the wandering dragon and couldn't help recalling the Yuanlong Company headquarters a thousand years ago.

Back then, Wei Yue was the general manager and Yuanlong Company was just a small company. Even with his support, Yuanlong's external image was very low-key.

Wei Yue probably never imagined that a thousand years later, her Wei Family would be so rampant and domineering.

Gao Xuan thought about the past and was quite sentimental.

At this moment, the electronic wristband vibrated slightly. After connecting, a light screen popped up on his retina.

On the light screen, Wei Ying asked, "Have you found Tiancang and Celestial Prison?"

"Not yet," Gao Xuan said frankly.

He mobilized the Field Department to wipe out the Dog Gang, of course, needing Wei Ying's approval. His reason was the suspicion that the Dog Gang had connections with Tiancang and Celestial Prison.

Wei Ying is very smart, though a bit inexperienced and not very skilled in handling matters.

On the other hand, she doesn't care about the lower levels. Gangs, organizations, in her eyes, are like bugs.

If she can't see them, it's not a problem. If they do become a problem, she'll just wipe them out without considering the consequences.

She only focuses on the whereabouts of Tiancang and Celestial Prison, completely disregarding the Dog Gang.

Hearing Gao Xuan's response, Wei Ying seemed a bit disappointed.

Gao Xuan thought for a moment and said, "Minister, I have something to report. It's said that Mr. Yao Guang has shares behind the Dog Gang."

"Hmm?"

Upon hearing Yao Guang's name, Wei Ying couldn't help but frown slightly. The finance director has a high rank, and the Yao Family holds significant power in the company. She's not afraid, but it's annoying to offend someone inexplicably.

She looked at Gao Xuan and asked, "You're not doing this intentionally, are you?"

Wei Ying knows that Xu Jun and Yao Guang have always been at odds, with their family feud deepening over the years. Given Gao Xuan's relationship with Xu Fang, he may have acted for the Xu Family.

Gao Xuan shook his head, "I didn't know any of this before taking action. It's just an underground gang; who cares about who's behind them."

An underground gang itself is not respectable. The larger the gang, the more the company dislikes them.

Small gangs can survive. When a gang grows larger, its power increases, leading to greater ambition.

Therefore, the company's attitude towards gangs has always been direct and forceful.

However, over the past decades, people in the upper echelons of the company have been infiltrating lower levels, leading to more relaxed management of underground gangs.

Especially several former ministers of the Field Department, who have been colluding with lower-level gangs, showing a softer stance externally, creating a misperception among lower gangs that the company isn't that formidable.

That's why Old Dog dared to put on airs with Gao Xuan.

In fact, the Field Department is the company's most important external armed force. The field minister has a high degree of autonomy.

Especially at the lower levels, no matter how much you kill, it's not an issue. Not just eliminating one Dog Gang, even if Gao Xuan exterminates ten or a hundred gangs, it's his daily work.

As long as the Security Department doesn't intervene, no one can interfere with Gao Xuan.

The head of the Security Department is a convenient brother-in-law; no matter what happens, he won't favor Yao Guang.

Gao Xuan sweeping away the Dog Gang wasn't actually for Xu Jun. These battles at this level have little impact on Xu Jun or Yao Guang.

As a newly appointed vice minister, he needs to establish authority. Not just to stand out in the Field Department, but to make a mark on all underground gangs in Mingjing.

Wei Ying is a somewhat fiery young lady; she doesn't know how to manage the Field Department and isn't concerned with its specific functions.

Gao Xuan is different; he intends to work diligently in the Field Department and earn more points.

Therefore, his official external appearance had to leave a deep impression on everyone.

Once you have a reputation, things become simpler. At least, no gang leader will act pretentious before Gao Xuan.

Wei Ying indeed doesn't understand Gao Xuan's complex ideas; she despises Yao Guang for controlling the Dog Gang, thinking he's truly shameless. However, she won't yield to him because of this.

Matters of the Field Department are not for Yao Guang to handle.

Wei Ying pondered for a moment and said, "Don't worry about anything else; quickly find Tiancang and the others."

"I'll do my utmost."

Such matters, Gao Xuan certainly wouldn't make any guarantees. Wei Ying is young; if you brag to her, she'd easily believe it.

If the task isn't completed, it'd be quite embarrassing.

Gao Xuan updated Wei Ying on the situation and waited for about an hour before receiving Iron Shield's report that the Dog Gang's thorough cleanup was complete.

Upon returning downstairs, several action group leaders were waiting for him at the entrance of Old Dog's office.

The office door had been opened, the interior burned to a mess. As for the bodies of Old Dog and his men, they had been long cleared out.

Iron Shield approached, saying flatteringly, "We discovered the Dog Gang's vault here; we've forcefully broken in. Just waiting for you."

Though the vault door was cracked, it hadn't been opened yet. The various action groups weren't united. After Gao Xuan demonstrated his ruthlessness, no one dared to play tricks behind his back.

Gao Xuan led a few people inside to take a look. The main storage was of gold, along with some valuable Source Power Crystals. There were also some Genetic Potions and so on.

The total estimated value would be over a billion.

"Extract one-tenth of the gold, find channels to handle it, half for the Field Department fund, and half as bonuses. All action personnel will receive bonuses according to their rank contributions..."

Everyone was overjoyed upon hearing this.

In this era, money was extremely important. While the company benefits were decent, they were just decent.

Facing such a large sum of money, everyone was very excited. Doing jobs like this a few times, they could retire.

As for keeping half as funds, no one took it seriously. The funds were also controlled by Gao Xuan.

Leading everyone to make a fortune, it was very reasonable for Gao Xuan to take half.

Such a huge sum needs to be handled properly. It's typical work for a group like the Field Department.

Gao Xuan did not bother with these details; he led half of the Field Department members to penetrate the Underworld and directly attacked the headquarters of the Gray Sect.

The Gray Sect was the Evil God religion behind the Dog Gang, and also its most important supporter.

The so-called Gray Sect essentially worshiped an Evil God with a rat's head and a human body. According to Eastern traditions, the color of the Mouse Demon is gray, so this sect was called the Gray Sect.

Of course, they themselves would call it the Spirit God Cult, believing the rat-headed human-bodied Evil God to be the most important spirit god, capable of guiding souls to the Divine Country after death.

The name Gray Sect did not sound good, but it's said to have millions of followers, having significant influence in the East District.

Gao Xuan did not know about the connection between the Dog Gang and the Gray Sect. Only after the Field Department made a major breakthrough with the Gray Sect, capturing many of its followers and obtaining their confessions, did they confirm the close relationship between the Gray Sect and the Dog Gang.

Cults are much more troublesome than gangs. Cult followers often do not fear death or care about benefits, with extremely abnormal minds. Since Gao Xuan dealt with the Dog Gang, the Gray Sect could not be left alone.

With only a few million followers, the Evil God has no real power.

According to company procedures, matters involving Evil Gods are generally transferred to the Special Services Department.

Due to issues with the Divine Crystal, Gao Xuan's relationship with the Special Services Department was not pleasant. He didn't want to ask Leng Li for help either. Besides, Wei Ying probably wouldn't want to ask for help either.

On the other hand, Gao Xuan was confident he could deal with the Evil God. Even if the worst situation arose, he would just handle it himself.

The Water and Earth Rune Seeds perfectly merged, and Gao Xuan's Divine Soul Power reached an extremely high level.

With this foundation, Gao Xuan refined the Taiyin Sword. This allowed him to use his Spiritual Power to control the sword, albeit with limited distance, but it was far more effective than a gun.

The refined Taiyin Rune, when activated by Gao Xuan's Spiritual Power, could become semi-photonized. This change made the Taiyin Sword swift as lightning and able to easily cut through various materials.

Exoskeleton Armor, under the semi-photonized Taiyin Sword, was as fragile as tofu. This is also the prowess of the modern Cultivation System.

Refining the Taiyin Sword greatly increased Gao Xuan's combat power. To be honest, if the opponent wasn't prepared, few could withstand an attack from his Flying Sword.

The Flying Sword was incredibly fast and sharp.

In the Source Power environment of Pegasus Star, even Evil Gods were limited. In terms of Divine Soul quality, Gao Xuan was confident he could crush all intelligent life on Pegasus Star. Combined with the Taiyin Sword, killing an Evil God wasn't difficult.

The Field Department had extremely strong operational capabilities with advanced equipment, far surpassing the underground residents by several levels.

The underground residents were almost detached from modern technology, unable to compare with the professional armament of the Field Department.

Although the Underworld was complex, a religious headquarters with millions of followers couldn't truly remain secret.

Grabbing a few people, there was no need for interrogation, just use the Truth Serum.

One hundred thirty members of the Field Department quickly advanced to the Gray Sect's headquarters.

Everyone put on Spiritual Shields, led by four War Tiger Exoskeleton Armors, they directly stormed the main Sacrificial Hall.

Most followers fled at the sight of the formation. The few death-defying fanatics were no match for modern kinetic energy weapons.

There were two seemingly high-ranking priests in the hall who were fearless, leading a group of fanatics to resist desperately.

However, in front of the Spiritual Shield, minor Divine Techniques were insignificant. The metal storms unleashed by heavy machine guns shredded everyone to pieces.

Even the god statue in the main hall was blasted apart.

The rat-headed human-bodied Evil God appeared directly, unable to perform any tricks in front of the Spiritual Shield. His parasitic flesh and Divine Soul were utterly destroyed in the high heat of Plasma Bombs.

Under Gao Xuan's command, the entire battle was remarkably smooth. Not a single member of the Field Department was injured.

The Field Department members were also very excited. They had been overshadowed by the Special Services Department due to poor records against Evil God cults. This time, their prestige soared greatly.

The only regret was that the Evil God did not condense into a Divine Crystal. This Evil God was far too weak.

With the Evil God dead, the cult was considered utterly destroyed. However, the Gray Sect's elite couldn't be left alive. Keeping them was not only dangerous, but they could also spread their doctrines. If they gathered enough faith, there was even a possibility of resurrecting the Evil God.

Gao Xuan stayed in the hall waiting, leaving the remaining minor tasks to the action personnel.

Before entering, he had already dispatched several teams to block all the passages, so he wasn't worried about any key figures escaping.

While Gao Xuan was strolling leisurely in the hall with his hands behind his back, the public communication channel suddenly sounded an alert from Action Group 17.

"This is bad, there's a formidable enemy!"

"It's over..."

The intense gunfire in the communication channel ceased suddenly, and the screams also abruptly stopped.

Gao Xuan's expression changed slightly, the silence was the truly terrifying part. How could the Gray Sect have such a master!

He hurriedly led his people to the ambush site of Group 17, only to find all nine members dead at the scene.

Even the War Tiger Exoskeleton Armor was split straight down the middle. The fracture of the Exoskeleton Armor was exceptionally smooth.

Gao Xuan touched the fracture of the Exoskeleton Armor, realizing that the opponent was not only a master of Swordsmanship but also possessed an exceptionally sharp Sword Artifact. He could even sense the pure Divine Source Power aura left by the Sword Artifact.

After a moment of silence, he contacted Wei Ying: "Minister, we've found traces of Tiancang and Celestial Prison..."

Wei Ying, shocked initially, then turned to ecstasy: "Where are they?"
