King of Assassins-Chapter 837 - 612: Can or Can’t

Zhongjing, Feiyun Palace.

A thousand years ago, the Holy Hall chose Zhongjing as the site to build its headquarters, Feiyun Palace.

The entire palace is built along the mountain and completely imitates the ancient Huaxia style. The main hall sits majestically atop the peak, with its exterior crafted from gold and white jade, creating an extremely luxurious and grand appearance.

On the first and fifteenth days of each month, along with various festivals like the Divine Emperor's birthday, the main hall of Feiyun Palace opens to the public.

During those times, the mountain path leading to the summit temple is filled with tourists and devotees.

Gao Xuan arrived before dawn. In the deep night, Feiyun Palace was lit by scattered lamps that were clear but not glaring. The vast palace complex appeared even more serene and tranquil under the gentle glow.

Only the main hall at the summit emitted a clear holy light, like a bright star in the dark night, shining radiantly and visible from a thousand miles away.

The Holy Hall has the strictest rules, and regardless of who arrives, they must walk up the mountain. This is out of respect for the Holy Hall and the Divine Emperor.

Gao Xuan wasn't here to cause trouble. He sensibly parked his flying ship at the foot of the mountain and walked up himself.

At the entrance to Feiyun Palace, he was stopped by the gatekeeping samurai.

Gao Xuan gave Yan Fei's name, and after the samurai confirmed with his superiors, they allowed Gao Xuan to proceed up the mountain.

No one paid attention to Gao Xuan, and he walked alone to the main hall without encountering any guards. There were not even any surveillance cameras.

Inside Feiyun Palace, holy light permeated everywhere. This light wasn't dazzling but was rich and ethereal, full of endless vitality.

In its presence, both the body and spirit are soothed and nourished by this holy light. For ordinary patients with severe illnesses, merely residing here for a long time would lead to natural recovery without any treatment.

For cultivators here, the transformation of Source Power is restricted. However, the Divine Power Rune Seed thrives here, increasing the efficiency of Source Power transformation by at least three times.

The root of all power lies in the Divine Emperor statue at the center of the main hall.

This statue is a special spiritual artifact capable of storing the Source Power of Pegasus Star devotees and connecting to cyberspace.

Conversely, the Divine Emperor statue is also a base station in cyberspace. Without numerous statues serving as anchors, cyberspace could not pervade the Alliance.

A thousand years ago, human technology was advanced, but the application of Source Power was primitive and backward. Only through cultivation or using marvels could humans harness Source Power.

A millennium has passed, and although the cultivation system hasn't penetrated every aspect of life, the use of Source Power has become standardized and scalable.

Feiyun Palace is evidently a Source Power Domain. Its application of Source Power is no less proficient than the cultivation world. In terms of standardization, it even excels.

Gao Xuan walked to the summit main hall and, through the Divine Power Rune Seed, understood the situation of the Holy Hall thoroughly.

Upon entering the main hall, he saw an elder in a white robe standing before the Divine Emperor statue, mildly bowing his head and closing his eyes, seemingly in prayer or perhaps cultivating.

Gao Xuan noticed that the sleeves of this man's long robe were embroidered with a flower with nine leaves, indicating he was a first-order warrior chief.

According to Holy Hall rules, a level one Holy Hall can only have one warrior chief, known as the Holy Hall Master.

Without a doubt, this man was the Pegasus Star Holy Hall Master, Yan Fei.

This man appeared to be about five hundred years old, and not only was his body aging, but his spirit also radiated a decayed aura.

Yan Fei stood there with a profound presence, so Gao Xuan refrained from disturbing him. He cupped his hands and quietly stood behind.

After waiting for over an hour, Yan Fei slightly sighed and slowly opened his eyes.

Yan Fei turned and glanced at Gao Xuan, "Ping'an mentioned everything about your situation. As a trial warrior of the Holy Hall, what you did today was quite inappropriate."

Although Yan Fei's expression was aged, his eyes were bright. He expressed discontent, yet his old face showed no excess emotion.

On this face, Gao Xuan vaguely recognized a resemblance to Yan Qingge. Compared to Yanzi, this one seemed more like the Yan Family people.

A thousand years ago, Yan Qingge clung to his thigh as a minor role. A millennium later, her descendants are ostentatiously posing before him.

Reflecting on this, Gao Xuan found fate quite amusing. Naturally, it was normal for Yan Fei to have an opinion about him.

The Holy Hall always stood on high. A thousand years ago, Gao Xuan used the Holy Hall to suppress Evil God and the Noble Family.

A thousand years later, the Holy Hall was already integrated with the Noble Families.

Yuan Ping'an, Yanzi, Yan Fei—all were born into Noble Families. These families monopolized cultivation resources and started from a much higher point than the lower ranks.

Now the Holy Hall is ruled by the five great families of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, which clearly are cultivation families that rose this millennium.

The power of the five great families lies in the Central Star Realm, while in the Outer Star Realm, the old established families still dominate.

Yuan Ping'an casually killed Yao Guang, because the Yao Family was too weak, not because the influence of Noble Families was small.

Of course, the Holy Hall remains lofty above. Noble Families can't directly contend with the Holy Hall. Only by joining the Holy Hall can they voice their opinions internally. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Due to the close relationship between the Holy Hall and Noble Families, Yan Fei felt Gao Xuan crossed the line. He shouldn't have killed Yu Hong'en.

As long as Gao Xuan revealed his identity as a trial warrior, Yu Hong'en wouldn't have dared to confront him.

However, since things had already transpired, Yan Fei couldn't say much.

After all, this is Pegasus Star, and each star's Holy Hall only serves the Holy Hall Headquarters. They have parallel relations with one another.

No matter how strong Taurus' Holy Hall is, it cannot arbitrarily interfere in the internal affairs of Pegasus Star's Holy Hall.

Yan Fei simply disliked Gao Xuan causing trouble, but it was difficult to punish him for this matter.
