King of Assassins-Chapter 910 - 644: Opportunity (Part 2)

The most obvious mark is a sword mark, with the Water Elemental Source Power surging torrentially, precisely the mark left by the Profound Nether Sword.

Next is the soul aura left by the Evil God; this kind of Divine Soul Power is both powerful and filthy, leaving a very obvious dark green trace.

The key point is the location of Shui Yunling's soul destruction, where only the dark green Divine Soul Needle left by the Evil God remains. Besides this, no other Source Power trace can be found.

To kill Shui Yunling, protected by the Jade Water Armor, a low Source Power Level is useless.

Source Power changes at this level will certainly leave a Source Power trace.

Huo Wuming checked all the Source Power traces left on the site, easily reconstructing the entire battle process in his mind.

There is no doubt that Shui Yunling was too arrogant, holding the Profound Nether Sword and Phantom Cloak, wanting to kill the Deep Sea. Moreover, Shui Yunling clearly had strong selfish motives.

The Divine Power attributes of the Evil God Deep Sea corresponded closely with her cultivation path.

Others were some distance away from Shui Yunling, with Yuan Youyuan the furthest, followed by Gao Xuan, and Shui Yulan the closest...

Based on the on-site positions, others had no opportunity to act.

Huo Wuming was very confident; the Candle Dragon Eye reveals all, and no one can escape his scrutiny.

If someone could avoid his Candle Dragon Eye, such a powerful individual would have no need to scheme against Shui Yunling.

On Shui Yunling, there's neither an earth-shattering secret nor a peerless treasure. Although she is a Direct Lineage of the Shui Family, that's all there is to it.

Ultimately, from his perspective, Shui Yunling is but a small figure. That's it.

This battle was intense, and the most outstanding performers were undoubtedly Gao Xuan and Yuan Youyuan.

The two Sixth-Grade Spiritual Artifacts delivered the final blow to the heavily injured Evil God, thoroughly killing it.

Of course, the power of the two artifacts was strong. They nearly reached the power level of Fifth-Grade Spiritual Artifacts.

But this point isn't that noteworthy. Some always attune to their own Magical Artifacts and can exert greater power.

The greatest responsibility in this incident is with the battleship responsible for surveillance in the periphery, which provided no support and coldly watched.

It played no role in the battle. They are all a bunch of useless people.

Huo Wuming, having inspected the scene, confirmed there was no conspiracy in Shui Yunling's death and thus felt a little disappointed.

Unable to find the right person to make an example of, his trip was in vain.

Huo Wuming suddenly asked Gao Xuan, "Can you recount the battle process?"

The report was detailed, but Huo Wuming still wanted to hear Gao Xuan's account.

Reports can be written slowly, but speaking on the spot is different. If Gao Xuan lies, he will definitely notice.

"Investigator Shui Yunling requested entry into the Nether Sea to investigate the Evil God situation. We entered the Nether Sea together and were suddenly attacked by the Evil God..."

Gao Xuan briefly recounted the battle again.

Huo Wuming asked, "Since you ran out, why did you come back?"

Gao Xuan thought for a moment and said, "I saw the soaring Sword Light and thought there was a chance for victory, so I wanted to come back and help. As a Paladin, fleeing the battlefield is not honorable."

Huo Wuming examined Gao Xuan inside and out with the Candle Dragon Eye, observing his Source Power aura changes and Divine Soul fluctuations, finding no issues.

Gao Xuan's answer was honest; it wasn't that he was fearless, but rather that he saw a chance for victory.

The ability to accurately sense the Evil God's location is a rather good talent.

Of course, his Candle Dragon Eye can also achieve that. The problem is, the Candle Dragon Eye is a Second-Grade Spiritual Artifact, and despite being reproducible, it lacks enough precious materials.

As a Red Belt Saint, it's impossible for him to personally hunt Evil Gods in the Outer Star Realm.

The key is Gao Xuan's decent mind; he is neither arrogant nor humble, and can remain calm when faced with him.

In battle, he had both courage and decisiveness and could precisely seize the moment.

These traits are indeed talents. No matter how much ordinary people practice, they are just average. Only true powerhouses can always strike the right balance.

Huo Wuhai asked Gao Xuan, "The Divine Crystal condensed by the Deep Sea is Third Grade. According to the rules, your accumulated merit is enough to enter the Central Star Realm for advanced study. Are you willing to join the Inspection Department?"

Gao Xuan was a bit surprised. Huo Wuhai valued him?

He really didn't see it coming, this person actually cherishes talent.

Gao Xuan didn't have any specific plans on where to go, but refusing a personal invitation from the Deputy Minister would indeed be foolish.

"It is my honor."

Gao Xuan nodded and bowed to express his gratitude. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Your Excellency, I have a small request. I wish to bring my girlfriend along."

"You are quite a romantic."

Huo Wuming was also a little surprised. Such a person like Gao Xuan is actually romantic and even dared to directly make a request to him. He wasn't afraid of angering him and ruining the matter.

He said indifferently, "Okay."

This small matter, Huo Wuming didn't bother to elaborate on. With a flick of his sleeve, a silver light soared into the sky. When the silver light dissipated, Huo Wuming had already taken Gao Xuan back to the Holy Hall.

In the hall, no one dared to leave. Seeing Huo Wuming return, everyone bowed in salute together.

Huo Wuming didn't waste words and directly ordered, "Cao Ming from the Inspection Department is dismissed for dereliction of duty. Immediately relieve him of his position. Leave it to the Inspection Department to handle. Yuan Ping and Yuan Tiejiang know nothing about the Evil God situation, incompetent. Demoted by three levels.

"Black Tiger and Yuan Youyuan performed outstandingly, and they will enter the headquarters of the Inspection Department for training immediately."

By the side, Cao Ming's face was pale. With just a word from Huo Wuming, his life was completely ruined.

But he dared not say a word more. Huo Wuming didn't execute him on the spot but followed the Inspection Department's procedure, which was considered his good fortune.

What made Cao Ming most angry was that Gao Xuan and Yuan Youyuan unexpectedly seized this opportunity to leap to the top and enter headquarters for training.

There is no doubt that when these two return, they will certainly assume the identity of Investigators.

This time, Cao Ming came to deal with Gao Xuan, only to get caught himself, while Gao Xuan ascended to glory. This outcome was hard for him to accept.

However, once Huo Wuming made a decision, it couldn't be changed.

Yuan Ping and Yuan Tiejiang felt a bit disappointed in their hearts; they fought to the end and were eventually demoted.

Fortunately, it was only a demotion and not a dismissal, so they could still accept it.

They also envied Gao Xuan and Yuan Youyuan's good fortune, recognized by a person of Huo Wuming's status, predicting a future with boundless prospects.

Yuan Youyuan was pleasantly surprised that Huo Wuming didn't investigate their private stash of Divine Crystals!

This matter, like a heavy stone, had always weighed on Yuan Youyuan's heart, fearing Huo Wuming would find out and she and Gao Xuan would be doomed.

As for going to the Central Star Realm for advanced learning, it was an unexpected delight.

Huo Wuming noticed the subtle change in Yuan Youyuan's emotions but didn't care. A little girl who had never seen the world, having emotional fluctuations was normal.

With Yuan Youyuan's level of courage, she absolutely dared not harm Shui Yunling, and she didn't have the capability.

After arranging everything, Huo Wuming took out a Teleportation Decree. After activating it, a massive Teleportation Array appeared.

This kind of Teleportation Decree was costly and could only be handled by Golden Core level powerhouses. It could never be promoted.

Through the Teleportation Decree, Huo Wuming could go to any Holy Hall with a Teleportation Array. The farther the distance, the greater the power consumption.

For a Super-tier Gold powerhouse, such consumption is trivial.

With a silver light flashing, Huo Wuming's figure disappeared instantly.

This esteemed individual came and went in a hurry, the entire process taking less than half an hour. But just setting up a temporary Teleportation Array consumed materials worth nearly a billion.

After a brief silence in the hall, Yuan Ping smiled and said to Gao Xuan and Yuan Youyuan, "Congratulations to you both."

The crowd awoke as if from a dream, and everyone expressed their congratulations to Gao Xuan and Yuan Youyuan.

Cao Ming shrank into the corner, face pale, eyes full of despair, like a stray dog that had fallen into water in winter, small, helpless, and in pain...
