Chapter 641 Killing Someone with a Borrowed Knife

"King of Assassins ()" Find the latest chapter!

Shui Yunling is very proficient in chatting skills and various negotiation strategies. She grew up in a complex environment that required her to have these skills.

But facing Gao Xuan, she felt no need to play tricks.

First, the other party comes from a lower class background and has no family background.

Second, the other party’s level of knowledge is not high, but his thoughts are deep and complex.

For such people, it is not good to play tricks and use means.

Gao Xuan was silent for a moment and asked: "Working for you?"

Shui Yunling smiled: "Yes, you heard it right, work for me."

She stretched out her hand and said, "Don't be too busy making decisions now. I'll explain the situation to you."

Shui Yunling said: "In the Central Star Territory, recruiting guests is a very normal behavior. This should be a very relaxed employment relationship. The master and the guest are more like friends."

"Like a friend?"

Gao Xuan understood as soon as he heard it, that is, although he looked polite on the surface, in fact, he still had a strict superior-subordinate relationship.

Over the past thousand years, the aristocratic family has become more and more arrogant. Now the children of aristocratic families can recruit disciples.

Shui Yunling couldn't see what Gao Xuan was thinking. She continued: "The guest can enjoy very high treatment and everyone respects each other. The guest can even refuse the master's order. This is all allowed."

Gao Xuan smiled. He didn't say anything, but his meaning was very clear. There was nothing attractive about this.

Shui Yunling said sternly: "Become my guest, you are a member of the Shui family, and you are qualified to settle in the Central Star Territory. I can arrange the qualifications for promotion to the Holy Church, including all corresponding resources."

Seeing Gao Xuan's lack of response, Shui Yunling felt a little impatient. This man really has no self-awareness. She personally extended the invitation and was still hesitating.

If it were in the Central Star Territory, no bottom-level foundation-building cultivator would be able to refuse her invitation.

People in the alien realm are ignorant after all. I don't understand how important the Shui family's guest is.

Shui Yunling said: "You may have doubts about my identity and feel that I am not qualified to recruit followers. Please rest assured on this point. I am the 127th heir to the Shui family."

She smiled reservedly: "You may not understand what this means, but it represents my status in the family."

The one hundred and twenty-seventh heir seems a bit funny to say.

There are only one hundred and eight heroes in Liangshan. Even so, most of them can still be called unknown.

However, the Shui family is not Liangshanbo.

The Shui family is one of the five major families in the Holy Church and one of the five most powerful families in the entire alliance.

There are millions of direct descendants of the Shui family. The total number of collateral descendants is two billion.

These collateral descendants are not just making up the numbers. All people with the surname Shui must obey the orders of the family master.

With two billion people spread across the Central Star Territory, even the lowest-level Shui family will have a certain amount of energy and resources in their hands.

When these people come together, one can imagine how huge the energy the Shui family will have.

Not to mention anything else, Shui Yunling only has the status of being eligible for succession. If he is placed in the Central Star Region, he will be the first-class person.

It's just that her current cultivation level is too weak and her qualifications are relatively low, so she hasn't been able to gather enough strength around her.

Moreover, she has many competitors.

Shui Yunling can only keep moving forward and prove his strength in order to retain his qualifications for succession.

In fact, her cultivation has stagnated in the past two years, and her work has also entered a period of calm. Clearly showing signs of decline.

If this continues, within a few years, when the family convenes again, her inheritance status may be cancelled.

For this reason, Shui Yunling was also very anxious.

Coming to Hongguang Star to investigate Gao Xuan this time, Shui Yunling saw an opportunity.

Gao Xuan's ability to lock down evil gods is actually of little use to aristocratic families and churches.

If there is a real need, the church and the aristocratic family will naturally be able to harvest a large amount of divine crystals. As for how the people below implement it and how much energy they need to expend, that is a matter at the bottom level.

Whether a hundred people die or ten thousand people die when harvesting a divine crystal, it doesn't matter to the senior management, it's not worth caring about at all.

However, it is different when it comes to the level of Shuiyunling.

She is not of such a high status that she can consume divine crystals at will. There is no way to obtain divine crystals at will.

If she can take Gao Xuan for her own use, she can harvest the divine crystals privately.

It doesn't take too much. Getting ten or eight high-quality divine crystals should be enough for her to advance to the Golden Elixir.

As long as she can advance to Jindan, she can gain a firm foothold in the family. Other things can be figured out slowly.

Of course, this is also very risky.

Even if she is the heir to the Shui family, hiding the divine crystal is still a serious crime.

Once she is discovered, not only the Holy Church, but also the Shui family will kill her.

At that time, Gao Xuan could only be handed over to take the blame.

As a formal guest, this status is enough to bear the crime. Wash her out.

If things go smoothly and successfully, Gao Xuan will also be destroyed. Such prohibited matters must be kept strictly confidential. She can't be trusted more than a living person.

Of course, there is no need to tell Gao Xuanming about this.

Shui Yunling and Gao Xuan talked a lot about the identity of the successor, and also talked about a lot of benefits for guests. Finally, they said sincerely: "Please help me, I will never treat you badly."

She promised: "I will help you solve your crime of hiding the divine crystal."

Gao Xuan couldn't help but smile: "I don't have any hidden divine crystals."

Shui Yunling also smiled: "It doesn't count if you say this."

She said: "Both you and Yuan Youyuan's magic weapons are very strong. I think there are problems with both."

"If there is any problem, check it out."

Gao Xuan said calmly: "If you are upright, you are not afraid of the shadow. I killed the evil god to save the world and for the glory of my lord. How can I have so many selfish motives."

Shui Yunling was a little unhappy. Although Gao Xuan didn't say it clearly, his words revealed a rejection.

Her voice became a little more stern: "I'm not threatening you, but there are many problems with your actions. Seriously, the consequences are beyond your ability to bear."

"Oh. Then ask the investigating officer to investigate and handle the matter in accordance with the law. Don't show favoritism."

Gao Xuan nodded slightly and said, "Thanks to the investigating officer, I'm sorry, but I'm currently involved in a lawsuit and it's difficult to accept the invitation.

"Otherwise, others will think that I have a personal relationship with the investigating officer, which will inevitably make people suspect that the investigating officer is practicing favoritism in this matter. It's not good for you or me."

Gao Xuan took a step back and said, "It's getting late. If the investigator has nothing else to do, I'll leave first."

Seeing that Shui Yunling didn't say anything, Gao Xuan turned around and opened the door to leave.

Shui Yunling clenched his fists hard, "I don't know what is good and what is evil."

She turned around and said angrily to Shui Yulan: "This low-level pariah dares to refuse my invitation! Does he know who I am? I am Shui Yunling, the heir to the Shui family!"

The more Shui Yunling thought about it, the angrier he became: "He didn't reject me, but the Shui family. He deserves to die..."

It's not that Shui Yunling doesn't have a city, it's just that she has grown so big that no guy of this status dares to reject her.

This made her feel very humiliated, so she became extremely angry.

Shui Yulan said softly: "He's just a lowly person like an ant. He doesn't know what he's rejecting. It's not worth being angry with such a person."

"This untouchable deserves to die."

Shui Yunling also quickly calmed down, her eyes filled with cold murderous intent, "With such determination, it seems that he really didn't steal the divine crystal."

"This should be."

Shui Yulan also nodded: "He is a smart man. He shouldn't take chances."

Of course, it is difficult to find out the specific circumstances of secretly hiding the divine crystal, but as long as you swear in front of the statue of the God Emperor, you can't hide anything.

Shui Yunling thought for a moment and said, "Aunt Lan, do you think he thinks I'm deceiving him, which is why he behaves so toughly? Let me make a wrong judgment to avoid swearing."

"It's a little bit possible."

Shui Yulan felt that Gao Xuan was a smart man and would not use such a dangerous strategy. Of course, this possibility cannot be completely ruled out.

Shui Yunling was silent for a while and said: "Let him swear an oath in front of the God Emperor as a last resort. He took the oath but could not be convicted, so the matter is over. I can no longer control him. This matter cannot be understood so easily."

She asked Shui Yulan: "Aunt Lan, what can you do to deal with him?"

As an investigator, Shui Yunling had many legitimate means to embarrass Gao Xuan. But these methods can't kill Gao Xuan, nor can they make her vent her anger.

Besides, the investigators can't do whatever they want.

As an investigator of the Ministry of Supervision, she must keep records of the process of handling cases. She cannot blatantly violate the church's rules and act recklessly.

Shui Yunling has always been smooth sailing and rarely uses underhanded methods to deal with its enemies. She has no need at all. If she wants to kill Gao Xuan without leaving any trace, she must consult Shui Yulan.

Shui Yulan thought for a moment and said: "It's hard to do anything in the Holy Church. Why not take him to kill the evil god Deep Sea."

"deep sea?"

Shui Yunling was a little hesitant: "It is said that a golden elixir from the Yuan family was killed by Shenhai. This evil god is too powerful. Black Tiger will definitely not go."

"Let's go for a walk on the sea. When the time comes, we can use a God-inducing pill to attract the deep sea."

Shui Yulan said: "If Shen Hai doesn't come, I will get rid of Heihu and Yuan Youyuan. Just push them to Shen Hai."

God-attracting pills are specially made from divine crystal powder and are specially used to attract evil gods.

After all, the traces of the evil god are hidden deep and difficult to find. Determine the approximate location of the evil god and use the Lure God Pill to have a high chance of luring the evil god out.

Of course, the God-inducing Pill is useless against highly intelligent evil gods.

It's just that beings like evil gods gather their willpower into food. Although most of the evil gods are intelligent, they are not very clear-headed.

Like a madman, most of the things he does rely on instinct. Rarely able to make rational judgments.

From this point of view, most evil gods are destined to be chaotic low-level beings.

Only when the evil god is powerful to a certain extent can he have extremely high wisdom and have his own logic and judgment capabilities.

According to the data, the Evil God of Red Light Star should be at the Golden Core level, but his intelligence is very low.

The reason why the Yuan family couldn't defeat this evil god was mainly due to their lack of fighting ability.

Shui Yunling has very high authority. He had read the information about Hongguang Star in detail before coming here and knew that Deep Sea was the most powerful evil god on the planet.

However, this chaotic evil god is very difficult to deal with. The value isn't great either.

In the outer star realm, there are countless evil gods like Deep Sea. No strong person is willing to come here just for an evil god.

For the strong, the stronger the evil god, the better. Only when they need it can they get higher quality divine crystals.

"What if the deep sea is too strong and traps us?"

The deep sea is very dangerous, and Shui Yunling doesn't want to take risks. Don't involve yourself when the time comes, it will become a joke.

Shui Yulan said: "There is a phantom cloak. If there is any problem, we will leave immediately."

The phantom cloak is a third-grade magic weapon that can turn into a flowing shadow and penetrate the void to escape far away. As the heir to the Shui family, Shui Yunling has the right to use the Phantom Cloak.

The most powerful thing about the phantom cloak is that it can be immune to most sources of energy and physical attacks, and its ability to instantly transform into a distant shadow is a magical skill.

With the phantom cloak, you can protect yourself against the powerful Jin Dan. A golden elixir-level evil god has no means to break the phantom cloak.

Shui Yunling nodded. Shui Yulan was right to remind her that she should apply for the right to use the phantom cloak in advance and be fully prepared.

The next day, Shui Yunling issued an order for Gao Xuan to lead the way to Minghai in the southern hemisphere.

Minghai is a super huge ocean covering half of the southern hemisphere.

The weather conditions in Minghai are also very bad and unpredictable.

Thousands of years ago, Minghai developed large areas of sea land, planted sea rice, various vegetables and fruits, and artificially cultivated various edible fish.

Over a thousand years, these devices had been destroyed due to lack of maintenance. The weather in Minghai Sea was so bad, and there were all kinds of powerful underwater monsters. Slowly, no one dared to enter the waters of Minghai Sea.

Especially in the depths of Minghai, there is always mist. Even satellites in the sky have difficulty penetrating the fog.

For the humans of Red Light Star, Minghai has become a forbidden land.

Shui Yunling suddenly said that he was going to Minghai to investigate the situation, which surprised Yuan Tiejiang and Yuan Ping.

Minghai is so dangerous, why would Shui Yunling go there? The key is that this has nothing to do with the Shui Yunling investigation.

Yuan Youyuan couldn't help but glance at Gao Xuan, his eyes full of uneasiness.

Gao Xuan told her yesterday that Shui Yunling invited him to be her guest, but he refused.

Shui Yunling showed up like this today, no matter how you look at it, he has bad intentions.

Gao Xuan remained calm and motioned Yuan Youyuan to stay silent with his eyes.

Shui Yunling knew that everyone was doubtful, so she smiled slightly: "I am here this time not only to investigate the divine crystal, but also to conduct a survey of the red light star to confirm the status of various evil gods on the planet."

She was not just saying this randomly. Every investigator who arrives in an alien domain is tasked with collecting local data.

Only by obtaining accurate data can the Holy Church make an accurate assessment of the situation in the outer star field.

The reports produced by the Star Territory Temple often contain various errors. This is why the local church does not like the headquarters to interfere in their affairs.

Shui Yunling said: "I heard that the most powerful evil god on Red Light Star is Deep Sea, which has been wreaking havoc on Red Light Star for hundreds of years. We must investigate the situation of this evil god clearly."

Yuan Ping was a little moved when she heard this. If the temple headquarters could get rid of the deep sea, the Yuan family could increase their investment in Hongguang Star and try to restore the order of Hongguang Star.

Just thinking about the horror of the deep sea made Yuan Ping feel a little guilty.

Shui Yunling looked at Yuan Ping, and she asked politely: "Deputy Commander Yuan, I heard that you had a fight with Shenhai?"

Yuan Ping lowered her head with some shame and said: "I was not good at cultivation at the time, and I was only responsible for logistical support. I had never done anything with Shenhai."

"Then you should know some more detailed information. Tell us first so that we can be prepared."

Shui Yunling said he was asking for advice, but his tone was very serious and he did not allow Yuan Ping to refuse at all.

Yuan Ping was helpless, she thought for a moment and said: "The deep sea looks like an octopus, with sixteen long tentacles. The body is hundreds of meters high, and the tentacles are one or two kilometers long. The most terrifying thing is the one on the tentacles. Eyes, these eyes will emit evil spiritual light. When this evil spiritual light hits, people will lose their minds and become very crazy..."

Deep Sea is a very powerful evil god. A very special thing is that Deep Sea's true form is hidden deep in the depths of the sea.

Its soul can roam the southern hemisphere. It can easily sneak into people's dreams and transform people into its believers.

Therefore, although the deep sea does not appear, there are one to two billion believers in the southern hemisphere.

Among such a large number of believers, there are even several powerful divine envoys.

In fact, almost everyone in the Southern Hemisphere is ruled by Poseidon.

The so-called Poseidon is the official name of the deep sea to the outside world.

The Yuan family had nothing to do about this. Masters such as Huang Tingdao from Yunguang Temple don't have much interest in the deep sea.

It is difficult to kill this kind of evil god completely, and even if you kill it, there will be no gain.

Because the evil god's most valuable thing is the divine crystal. The divine crystal of a powerful evil god like Deep Sea cannot reach the Yunguang Temple.

Various reasons also make the deep sea more and more powerful.

As for Poseidon Cult, it’s nothing. This kind of organization established by relying on evil gods is very fragile. As long as the evil god is killed, the organization will naturally fall apart.

Yuan Ping explained the deep sea information she knew as thoroughly as possible. As the person in charge of the Red Star Temple, Yuan Tiejiang also made some additions.

All in all, the deep sea is scary. If you go looking for him rashly, you will only die.

Although Yuan Ping hopes that someone will eradicate Deep Sea, she does not believe that Shui Yunling has such ability.

If you want to kill Shen Hai, you must at least be a strong Jin Dan. Moreover, Huang Tingdao's level of gold powerhouse is even worse.

Yuan Tiejiang also felt that the matter was difficult, and he seriously dissuaded him: "The body of the deep sea is hidden deep in the depths of the sea, and the soul is roaming in the southern hemisphere. If you are not sure, it is better not to enter the Minghai area..."

Shui Yunling's face darkened slightly: "As a Templar warrior, are you afraid of the evil god?"

This hat was a bit too big, and Yuan Tiejiang did not dare to speak. Yuan Ping didn't dare to say anything.

Shui Yunling sneered: "It is our responsibility to eradicate the evil god. It is your shame to allow the evil god to wreak havoc!"

Although they knew that Shui Yunling was making excuses, Yuan Tiejiang and Yuan Ping could only bow their heads and accept the training.

They also saw clearly that this person was clearly looking for trouble.

Yuan Youyuan even sent a private message to Gao Xuan on the communication channel: "This woman is going crazy and wants to take us to die together. What should we do?"

"She's not afraid, so what are you afraid of?"

Gao Xuan comforted him and said, "Don't worry, we will be together in life and death and will never be separated."

"I haven't lived enough yet, I don't want to die..."

Yuan Youyuan didn't take such words of love seriously. She rolled her eyes at Gao Xuan, "I think this bitch is holding back and wants to kill you. You should quickly think of a way!"

"no way."

Gao Xuan said: "She insists on tossing her, so we can only accompany her."

"Is she dissatisfied with your kung fu?"

"Don't talk nonsense, I am a good and innocent man. If a woman like this takes off her clothes, I won't even look at her..."

Shui Yunling couldn't hear the private chat between Gao Xuan and the others, but she also knew that everyone must be full of complaints. So what, you don’t have to listen to her!

This time we were going deep into Minghai, so everyone brought their equipment. Just two Flying Eagle heavy battleships were prepared.

The masters of the Red Star Temple came out in full force.

The Eagle heavy battleship rushed out of the atmosphere, returned to the atmosphere twenty minutes later, and had already arrived at Minghai in the southern hemisphere.

Viewed from a high altitude, Minghai is a dark red color, like carbon fire burning in the sea water.

Pieces of white mist are like clouds, drifting back and forth on the sea with the wind.

A Flying Eagle battleship is parked outside the atmosphere, rotating synchronously with the planet, ready to respond at any time.

The Flying Eagle battleship carrying Shui Yunling, Gao Xuan, and Yuan Youyuan went straight into the depths of the sea.

As we go deeper, the fog outside becomes thicker and thicker. In the end, the radar screen was completely white.

The cabin was quiet, no one spoke, and the atmosphere was quite solemn.

First, Shui Yunling's order was unreasonable and everyone was dissatisfied. In addition, Minghai's unique depressive atmosphere made everyone feel nervous.

Shui Yunling was also very uncomfortable at the moment, like a big invisible stone pressing on her heart, and she felt like she couldn't breathe.

At this moment, she also felt strongly vigilant. The Evil God Deep Sea was more dangerous than she expected.

But now that people are here, if they give up halfway, they will be laughed at by people like Gao Xuan and Yuan Ping.

Shui Yunling glanced at Gao Xuan, the man was still so calm.

There were many experts in the cabin, but even Shui Yulan had a cold look on her face. This is also a kind of resistant emotion that is naturally displayed under great pressure.

Only Gao Xuan was as calm and calm as ever, with no abnormal emotions visible.

Yuan Youyuan, who was sitting next to Gao Xuan, tried his best to stay calm, but his face was already pale. She held Gao Xuan's hand tightly with one hand.

The driver in front suddenly exclaimed, "It's broken. All electronic equipment has been strongly interfered and cannot work properly..."

The Flying Eagle battleship is a very advanced small combat spaceship that can fly and fight in space. Preventing electromagnetic interference is the most basic function.

When necessary, a small protective force field can even be activated. It just consumes too much energy. The protective force field cannot be activated for long.

For a warship of this level, it is difficult for external forces to invade the control system. Although the evil god is powerful, it is difficult to control his power skillfully. Not to mention using divine power to interfere with the operation of electronic equipment.

We just arrived at the depths of the Ming Sea, and before we even saw the Evil God Deep Sea, the Flying Eagle Battleship was interfered with?

The airship is very fast, and without various electronic devices to collect data at any time, it is very dangerous to control the airship by observing the environment with human eyes.

What's even more frightening is that the evil god knows how to interfere with electronic equipment, which means that the other party's intelligence is very high.

Everyone was surprised, and then everyone in the cabin looked at Shui Yunling.

Shui Yunling finally regained her composure, and asked Gao Xuan: "How far is it from the evil god?"

Gao Xuan closed his eyes and pretended, but in fact his soul had already seen the deep sea.

In the middle of the colorful source force sea, a huge pitch black octopus waved many long tentacles and floated freely.

Every time it waves its tentacles, the octopus emits a cloud of black energy.

Black air rippled out, dyeing the nearby Yuanli Sea with a faint ink color.

The powerful evil god has formed his own divine domain, polluting the surrounding sea of ​​source power.

Calculated from the physical distance, the two sides are still dozens of kilometers away. In fact, everyone has entered the Deep Sea Divine Realm.

Gao Xuan opened his eyes and said: "We are only thirty kilometers away from the evil god. The other party's aura is very powerful. I suggest you evacuate immediately."

Shui Yunling said calmly: "It's not your turn to make suggestions here, just do your own thing."

She said to everyone: "Since we are here, we must see clearly. Everyone, prepare to fight."

Shui Yunling said to Gao Xuan again: "You can sense the breath of the evil god and explore the way ahead."

Before Gao Xuan could speak, Shui Yunling emphasized again: "This is an order."

Shui Yunling said to everyone with a cold face: "This time I came out to perform a mission, not to play. No one is allowed to evacuate without my order!"

These words were full of murderous intent, and Yuan Ping and Yuan Tiejiang could only respond in awe.

Shui Yunling found Gao Xuan sitting there motionless, and her eyes turned cold: "Why don't you stay still when I ask you to explore the way? Do you want to disobey me?"

"No need to probe."

Gao Xuan said calmly: "It's coming."

As soon as he finished speaking, a huge and strange dark green eyeball appeared in front of everyone.

The dark green eyeballs emitted a green light that was deep and filthy. Just by looking at those eyes, everyone seemed to have fallen into the rotten and smelly green sewage.

Everyone was shocked, even Shui Yunling was shocked. She hadn't even used the God-inducing Pill yet, so why did the evil god come over on his own initiative?

Moreover, the power of this evil god is strange and powerful. As soon as she appeared, her soul was contaminated by the filthy divine power.

Shui Yunling felt extremely uncomfortable. The Yuanli that was usually as smooth as water had become as sticky as paint, sticky and difficult to control.

A huge green eyeball keeps getting bigger, and everyone has the illusion that the green eyeball seems to have turned into an abyss, trying to swallow everyone in.

"Illusion, don't be afraid."

Shui Yulan has rich experience, she shouted loudly: "Everyone activate the magic weapon immediately,"

Shui Yulan was organizing people to fight back when the bulkhead suddenly cracked with numerous fine cracks.

Then, the bulkhead silently collapsed inwards. A tentacle covered with suckers and green eyes suddenly shrank inward.

Yuan Youyuan was horrified. Only then did she realize that it was a huge tentacle that wrapped up the battleship and crushed it forcefully.

In this small enclosed space where the tentacles were gathered into a ball, they had nowhere to escape!

Shui Yunling also had a look of horror on his face. Why is the power of the Deep Sea Evil God so powerful? It is completely different from what is recorded in the data. This time it is really dangerous...
