King of Assassins-Chapter 860 - 623: Worry

The boss needs us, so everyone naturally has to do their utmost to help.

Qin Fei was particularly good at stirring things up, constantly saying that Zhao Ying and Cao Jinyun were up to something. This also stirred strong dissatisfaction among the members of the Golden Orchid Association.

A group needs cohesion, and external enemies are very important. With enemies, there is a focal point for everyone's efforts, making it easier to unite and cooperate.

The Blood Moon disaster claimed the lives of two thousand Trial Warriors. The remaining warriors, having endured a brutal blood battle, regardless of their individual personalities, forged a comradeship in battle, allowing them to naturally band together.

For the Trial Warriors who did not participate in the blood battle, they are spontaneously excluded by the others.

In their eyes, the Trial Warriors who didn't participate in the blood battle are all traitors, cowards. Disgraceful and hateful.

Zhao Ying and Cao Jinyun are undoubtedly the representatives of traitors. Now these two are up to something again, making everyone extremely angry.

All the higher-ups left only one piece of Evil God Fragment and handed the rest to Gao Xuan. Among dozens of higher-ups, everyone had three to five fragments on average. Altogether, there were as many as one hundred and thirteen pieces.

When counting for Gao Xuan, the statisticians confirmed twice repeatedly.

Most of the previous Trial Warriors had only one piece of Evil God Fragment, and the ones with more had just three to five pieces. Those having more than ten were extremely rare.

So many Evil God Fragments appearing in the hands of one person truly shocked the statisticians.

It took half an hour for the statisticians to complete the trial statistics and summarize for the Holy Hall's higher-ups.

During this time, Chief Examiner Huang Yingyue and Deputy Chief Examiner Yuan Ping gave a brief summary report to the Holy Hall's higher-ups.

With so many Trial Warriors dead, there needs to be an explanation.

After hearing their explanations and watching some combat videos recorded by personal Light Computers, the numerous Holy Hall higher-ups accepted their explanation.

This was indeed an uncontrollable natural disaster, an irresistible accident.

The Evil Ghosts were so brutal, it's already a blessing that so many Trial Warriors could survive.

Yuan Ping and Huang Yingyue both emphasized Gao Xuan's importance, praising him lavishly. They believed Gao Xuan's performance in this operation was remarkable, showcasing capability, courage, and wisdom, making him a model for Trial Warriors, even a model for Paladins.

Their commendation of Gao Xuan on one hand was because Gao Xuan indeed performed exceptionally well and made great achievements.

On the other hand, only by highlighting the cruelty and bloodiness of this battle could they clear themselves from the tag of incompetence.

Huang Yingyue finally said, "I recommend hefty rewards for Black Tiger and reporting his deeds so that headquarters can grant rewards."

Huang Tingdao nodded, "With such a big incident happening in this trial, it should be thoroughly investigated before a conclusion is made."

A Holy Hall elder asked, "Why hasn't Cao Ye returned? What happened to him?"

Huang Yingyue glanced at the other party; sure enough, this was someone from the Cao Family. She shook her head and said, "After entering Night Demon City, I didn't see Cao Ye. But at the center of the battlefield, there's a strong Source Power aura left by Cao Ye. It's just that Cao Ye himself is missing..."

Huang Yingyue didn't care about Cao Ye's life or death, as it is the examiner's responsibility to protect themselves; if they die, no one else can be blamed.

Night Demon City is so vast and complicated that if someone goes missing, they wouldn't find them even if they tried.

That elder asked after a brief silence, "Could someone have plotted against Cao Ye?"

The moment this was said, everyone's expressions turned serious.

Cao Ye was a Silver Badge Warrior, a key leader in the Holy Hall Execution Team. Although young, he had a high status.

If Cao Ye was killed by insiders, that would be a huge affair. This would even be more serious than the death of two thousand Trial Warriors.

Huang Tingdao asked the elder solemnly, "Do you have evidence?"

The elder did not fear Huang Tingdao; with a rising young talent from the Cao Family dead, this matter must be pursued to the end.

No matter how angry Huang Tingdao is, he must give an account to the Cao Family.

The elder coldly said, "If I had evidence, I wouldn't be asking."

He paused and continued, "I'm not saying this lightly, but given Cao Ye's skill, he ranks in the top three among all examiners. The Chief Examiner among them wasn't injured during the Blood Moon disaster, then why was it only Cao Ye who had trouble? It's clear there's a problem!"

None of the numerous Holy Hall higher-ups spoke. This elder's accusations were somewhat radical yet had a point.

How could Cao Ye, with his abilities, suddenly have trouble?

In recent years, Cao Ye's influence has been growing. There are even rumors that he will sooner or later be promoted to Warrior Chief.

The Warrior Chief is the highest commander of a Holy Hall, effectively the Holy Hall Master.

This elder's intent fully suspected that someone in the Holy Hall was plotting against Cao Ye for power, perhaps even pointing at Huang Tingdao.

In fact, such a notion is quite far-fetched, even considered cunningly flattering.

The Source Power level in Cloud Light Star Realm is extremely high; anyone aspiring to the position of Holy Hall Warrior Chief must at least be a Golden Belt Saint.

For Cao Ye, he wouldn't touch the edges of the Golden Belt without a hundred or two hundred years.

Huang Tingdao understood clearly that the elder was deliberately questioning publicly to stir up trouble.

Regardless of being the Hall Master or wanting to prove his innocence, he must strive to investigate the situation thoroughly.

Huang Tingdao also felt somewhat strange; though Cao Ye's rise was rapid, it shouldn't lead others to plot against him.

Moreover, killing Cao Ye wouldn't be easy either.

He said, "I will investigate Cao Ye's situation promptly and provide everyone with an explanation..."

Having said that, the elder couldn't continue to press. After all, the other party was the Warrior Chief, the Golden Belt Saint.

In the Cloud Light Star Realm, there are quite a few Golden Cores. Huang Tingdao may not be the strongest, but his position is undoubtedly the highest. Truly provoking Huang Tingdao would make the matters very troublesome.
