King of Assassins-Chapter 811 - 600: Major Headwind

Gao Xuan was genuinely surprised; he just wanted to make an example of someone, but ended up finding the main culprit.

That was quite a coincidence!

Gao Xuan couldn't help but suspect that someone might be manipulating everything from behind the scenes.

However, he also thought that it was impossible.

Even if someone was manipulating things from the shadows, they couldn't predict his next move. They certainly couldn't predict that he would suddenly wipe out the Dog Gang.

No one could guide him through the entire process, so it lacked any possibility of manipulation.

So, it was just a coincidence.

Thinking it over, Gao Xuan concluded that this couldn't be just a coincidence.

After all, Mingjing City is only so big, and both the Dog Gang and the Gray Sect are large organizations.

The connection between Tiancang, Celestial Prison, and the Gray Sect is also quite normal. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Otherwise, why would they travel all the way to Mingjing City? Surely, it was to connect with local organizations in Mingjing.

A small cult like the Gray Sect doesn't have the capability to analyze the Holy Armor or the Sword Box. They probably don't even have the guts to want these things.

Even though the Evil God isn't very bright, it knows who it can't provoke.

So, why did Tiancang and Celestial Prison come all the way here? Who are they delivering to?

Gao Xuan immediately thought of Yao Guang; in Mingjing City, there are only a few families brave enough to take things from the Holy Hall.

Yao Guang is connected to the Dog Gang, the Dog Gang to the Gray Sect, and the Gray Sect to Tiancang and Celestial Prison.

The chain of evidence is quite complete!

Gao Xuan actually had no grudge against Yao Guang; they were on completely different levels and hadn't crossed paths.

It's just that in a company, every position is occupied. One person, one spot.

The middle level can be overlooked, but at the higher level, individuals can live for three to five hundred years, and who wants to relinquish power?

To move up, you have to step on someone else.

Yao Guang and Xu Jun are enemies, so stepping on Yao Guang to ascend is naturally the best method.

Now, there's such an opportunity.

Within the company, there is a balance of power; even though the Xu Family is strong, they can't do much to the Yao Family. But in front of the Holy Hall, what does the Yao Family account for?

The Holy Hall views the major noble families just like a company views various gangs: they can kill as they please. This is the authority of the Holy Hall.

But joining the Holy Hall is also troublesome. There are more factions and stricter hierarchies. It's less dynamic than a company.

Gao Xuan weighed his options and immediately made a decision. However, he didn't go chasing after the Tiancang and Celestial Prison duo.

Eighth-Level Paladin, Yuan Ping'an, was already dispatched; how would it make sense for him to take them down?

It's okay to seek glory, but not every kind of glory is worth pursuing. Especially in matters the Holy Hall takes so seriously.

With his background and his abilities, what right does he have to solve the problem?

Any doubt from the Holy Hall would make the situation troublesome.

Gao Xuan proceeded to report the situation to Wei Ying.

Facing the ecstatic Wei Ying, Gao Xuan calmly laid out the situation.

"We're now at the East District, Gray Sect Headquarters A24 exit. The enemy killed a group of our Field Department brothers. However, according to my prior instructions, we've planted three thousand nano trackers here."

Gao Xuan said, "No matter how careful the enemy is, they will definitely have nano trackers on them."

Wei Ying was even more excited: "Well done. I'll immediately go to Master Yuan Ping'an and take them over."

Wei Ying was in such a hurry that he immediately closed the hologram communication.

Gao Xuan was a bit surprised; Yuan Ping'an had already arrived. Yet, Wei Ying remained composed, not informing him of this development.

Since Yuan Ping'an was here, the situation would be easier. The enemy wouldn't dare surface; although the underworld is vast, once we determine their approximate location, they can be found even with a manual search.

Gao Xuan pondered for a moment and then proactively contacted Xu Jun. This was also his first time contacting his brother-in-law.

As the Deputy Minister of the Field Department, he had the authority to contact this top superior.

Thirty seconds later, the communication connected.

Xu Jun looked at Gao Xuan with great interest and even initiated the conversation by asking, "What do you need?"

Although the tone was condescending, it was quite casual. For Xu Jun, this was already an extremely friendly gesture towards a subordinate.

"Minister, I have something I need to report to you."

Gao Xuan did not engage in small talk or introduce himself.

Though Xu Jun was a spoiled child, he naturally had the skills to hold the position of Security Minister.

Gao Xuan briefly explained the situation and finally said, "I suspect Tiancang and Celestial Prison might be connected to Director Yao."

"Don't spread such rumors."

Xu Jun rebuked, then added, "Your current task is to cooperate with Master Yuan to quickly capture the two wanted criminals."

"I understand."

Upon hearing Xu Jun's words, Gao Xuan could tell that his brother-in-law was tempted.

Connecting this to Yao Guang couldn't hurt; at most, it would intensify their rivalry.

If successful, they could directly topple the Yao Family, a massive win with minimal risk.

After closing the communication, Gao Xuan left it alone. He passed the blade to Xu Jun, and if Xu Jun couldn't wield it, there was nothing more he could do.

You can't fabricate false charges on a whim. If this backfires, Gao Xuan couldn't handle the consequences.

Less than ten minutes later, Gao Xuan saw Wei Ying leading a group of people hastily approaching.

Wei Ying, unusually, was dressed in a dark blue combat robe, with even a longsword at his waist. This attire gave him a bit of dynamic vigor.

Beside Wei Ying was a middle-aged man with short hair, an ordinary face, and peaceful eyes. The man wore a silver robe, shining with a bright silver glow in the dim underground.
