King of Assassins

Chapter 369 Legend


Gao Xuan's words were firm and overbearing, his momentum aggressive and unyielding.

Under the fierce and unparalleled Sword Intent of Gao Xuan, Rowe and Yuan Ancheng felt as though they were pierced by a sharp Divine Sword into their Spirit Cores, and these two Golden Powerhouses felt immense pressure, with no doubt left about Gao Xuan's power.

Now, all they felt towards Gao Xuan was fear. Gao Xuan recklessly slaughtered descendants of Golden Bloodlines, what was this kid trying to do?

What made Rowe and Yuan Ancheng more uneasy was that Song Town not only did not stop Gao Xuan, but instead chatted happily and drank with him. What did this mean?

Could it be that Gao Xuan had joined the Song Family? Or formed an alliance with them?

Not wanting outsiders to misunderstand, Song Town explained, "Qin Xuan was a believer of an Evil God and used the Divine Technique of the Master of Blood, killed by Gao Xuan on the spot. Such Evil God's Believers should be killed by everyone.

"Although the Song Family and the Qin Family have been on good terms for generations, we cannot side with the Qin Family on this matter..."

Song Town briefly explained the situation about Qin Xuan, then said to Rowe and Yuan Ancheng, "Of course, I won't get involved in your grievances with Gao Xuan. Today, we're just drinking. We won't include you."

Hearing Song Town's expressed stance, Rowe and Yuan Ancheng both breathed a sigh of relief.

Both nodded to Song Town and then turned to leave together.

Yuan Wuxian, as he left, took a deep look at Gao Xuan. He originally considered Gao Xuan a formidable enemy, his next target to defeat.

However, Gao Xuan continuously raised his Power limits, and now he was already on par with Song Town.

This formidable enemy was a bit too strong, this target a bit too high. He feared that in the short term, he wouldn't have the chance to defeat him to complete his goal.

Thus, Yuan Wuxian's gaze was both resentful and bitter.

Unfortunately, no one cared what Yuan Wuxian thought. Yuan Ancheng and Rowe were preoccupied with thinking about how to handle Gao Xuan.

Gao Xuan, coming from humble origins, had no connections with any of the major Golden Families. That's why he could recklessly swing his sword without any scruples.

Song Town befriending Gao Xuan, was it to wield this sword to kill someone?

In fact, Gao Xuan's battle on Ziwei Star had already significantly impacted the Noble Families.

Qin Ken was the chairman of the Sword Dao League organizing committee; his cultivation was considered low among Golden Powerhouses, but he had a sharp business acumen and was good at maintaining various balances.

For decades, he had effectively promoted the development of the Sword Dao League. With Qin Ken's death, the fight to seize the chairmanship of the organizing committee was bound to result in chaos.

Whether the new successor could balance the interests of the major families was uncertain.

Tifeng was even more important, being the strongest of the Odin lineage and holding the Eternal Spear.

This time, with Tifeng slain by Gao Xuan, it was feared that even the Eternal Spear had been taken by Gao Xuan.

The Golden Bloodlines of Odin and Zeus actually relied entirely on powerful Golden Marvels for support. Without the Eternal Spear, a top-notch Marvel, the strength of the Odin Bloodline would be significantly weakened.

Even if the Odin Family could hold onto the Ten Thousand Spirits Star Realm, they would certainly be forced to withdraw in other areas.

This was a significant interest that would lead to fierce competition.

Augustus, with close ties to the Odin Family, did not want their ally to be too strong but also did not want their ally to suddenly weaken.

Such changes would cause numerous troubles. Whether Augustus liked it or not, they had to adjust their strategies accordingly.

The impact of Qin Xuan's death was even greater. He was the representative of the Qin Family's hawks and their external face.

Such a person had complex interpersonal relationships and a complicated network of interests. The Qin Family couldn't casually replace Qin Xuan by simply swapping in another.

Moreover, the Qin Family didn't have many Golden Powerhouses as strong as Qin Xuan.

Losing both Qin Ken and Qin Xuan dealt a heavy blow to the Qin Family, significantly hurting their foundation, though not crippled, it was a serious blow.

The Qin Family would certainly exert all efforts to hunt down Gao Xuan to restore their reputation.

If Gao Xuan really got entangled with the Song Family, this matter wouldn't be that simple.

In short, Gao Xuan stirred a major event this time. All the major Golden Families couldn't avoid being impacted.

Powerhouses like Rowe and Yuan Ancheng were all dizzy and couldn't sort out the pros and cons for the moment. They both needed to report back to their families immediately to analyze the gains and losses carefully, in order to decide on their next steps.

Once Rowe, Yuan Ancheng, and their group left, a group of servers hurriedly brought in food and drinks.

Song Muyang drove all the servers away and served drinks himself on the side.

As a Golden Powerhouse, Song Muyang didn't need to serve tea and drinks anywhere else. But in front of Song Town, he was a junior; the Song Family was particular about rules.

Gao Xuan didn't mind; after all, a person serving drinks to his own elder, lifting someone up, didn't really have much to do with him.

Gao Xuan and Song Town didn't talk much, just engaged in casual chatting, mostly about local customs and historical stories of Song Town.

With the insights of two lifetimes and hundreds of years of accumulation within the Book of Genesis, although Song Town's knowledge was extraordinary, Gao Xuan was no less impressive.

Yunxi, listening foolishly on the side, although not understanding some of the words, could see that Song Town and Gao Xuan were having an intriguing conversation.

This peerlessly handsome young man not only excelled in Swordsmanship but also had extraordinary insight and wisdom, which truly surprised Yunxi.

Yunxi also somewhat regretted that when she first met Gao Xuan, she shouldn't have held herself so high. If she had lowered her stance, perhaps she could have retained Gao Xuan. At least, there might have been some story with him.

Originally, she just liked Gao Xuan's looks but didn't like his flamboyance. Now, she felt every single act and word of Gao Xuan carried infinite charm, causing waves of heat in her heart.

Admiration for strength can sometimes be even more intense than love.

The more Song Yunxi looked at Gao Xuan, the more she liked him, the more she loved him. Her gaze on Gao Xuan was nearly burning with passion.

In this setting, Song Yunxi didn't even have the qualification to serve tea or wine. Despite her intense affection, she had no opportunity to express it.

Song Yunxi was completely oblivious to Song Town's conversation having shifted to the Qin Family and onto the experts from the Qin Family.

"The Qin Family is full of experts; the most powerful, by consensus, is Qin Wu, who wields the Heaven-Reaching Sword and the Golden Spear and Tiger Talisman. He's two hundred years older than me."

Song Town said: "Though you're unparalleled in swordsmanship, you're still not quite at Qin Wu's level. You should be prepared..."

"Thank you, Elder Song, for the reminder. I know what to do." Gao Xuan dared to kill Qin Xuan, naturally having made all the necessary preparations.

He wasn't great at planning comprehensively, but he excelled in precise calculations, handling specific affairs exceptionally well.

Song Town continued: "According to rumors, the Qin Family has an even more formidable expert: Qin Shiyue."

"Hmm?"

Gao Xuan was a bit puzzled, "The Ten Thousand Worlds Sword, Qin Shiyue? Wasn't he someone from over two thousand years ago?"

Song Town sighed: "Yes, if Qin Shiyue truly isn't dead, he'd be over two thousand years old."

This rumor originated from the Qin Family, possibly as a scare tactic. Or maybe, there's some truth to it.

Song Town wasn't sure about it either.

Golden Powerhouses theoretically have a lifespan of a thousand years, but through various means, it's not surprising to live an extra few hundred years.

In such a vast cosmos, there are many long-lived wise races. Not to mention the many Divine beings in Negative Space with nearly endless lifespans. In this comparison, a lifespan of a few thousand years is hardly noteworthy.

Song Town added: "There's also a saying that the twelve strongmen who founded the Alliance are still alive."

"Haha, that's impossible."

Gao Xuan absolutely didn't believe this claim. If those twelve strongmen were still alive, how could they possibly sit back and watch the Human Alliance be destroyed?

Song Town shook his head: "The universe is so vast, anything is possible. Hard to say, hard to say..."

Song Town initially found these rumors absurd and ridiculous, but Gao Xuan changed his perspective.

Given the existence of an extraordinary youth like Gao Xuan, defying reason and breaking norms, other rumors might just be true as well...

Song Town and Gao Xuan drank a lot, and although not drunk, were clearly in a slightly tipsy state. That's when Song Town shared many rumors with Gao Xuan.

Song Town felt he had said too much, so he stood up and with a flick of his sleeves, said: "Today's been enjoyable. I'm heading out first."

Without waiting for Gao Xuan to see him off, Song Town stepped into the void and disappeared in an instant.

Before Song Muyang could speak, Song Yunxi had already moved to Gao Xuan's side, wrapping her arms around his: "Gao Xuan, let me see you off."

Song Yunxi's cheeks were flushed, her bright eyes shimmering with an intense desire. Gao Xuan was all too familiar with this state.

"Sure, let's go to my room and talk."

With a flicker, Gao Xuan, along with Song Yunxi, vanished from sight.

Song Muyang held his tongue, but Gao Xuan had left too quickly. His skill in vanishing into the void was entirely effortless yet exceptionally graceful.

Song Muyang, being a Golden Powerhouse himself, also knew spatial teleportation. But compared to Gao Xuan, he wasn't as good. Moreover, Gao Xuan had brought someone along.

Thinking of Gao Xuan's strength and his exceptional talent, Song Muyang finally sighed.

To obtain Gao Xuan's genes was already profitable. As for Song Yunxi's personal outcomes, they mattered less.

Besides, Gao Xuan, despite being notoriously amorous, wasn't unkind to women.

The main thing was Song Yunxi's willingness, and he had no reason to stop it.

No matter the sorrows and joys of humanity, the Taiwei Star continued its rotation.

By noon the next day, sunlight streamed through the window, shining directly on Song Yunxi.

Song Yunxi slowly opened her eyes, instinctively reaching out, the space beside her empty.

Judging by the temperature on the bed, the person had left early.

Despite her good cultivation, Gao Xuan was just too powerful. A night of passion drained all her energy, rendering her body languid, not wanting to move.

Thinking of the intense affection shared last night, Song Yunxi couldn't help but smile. Even just one night with Gao Xuan was worth it.

A sudden communication interrupted Song Yunxi's reverie, displaying Song Muyang's large face on the screen, looking rather serious.

He hurriedly asked: "Qin Wu has arrived in Purple Wall City, where is Gao Xuan?"

(Only one update for today~ Regarding updates, I'm not sure what to say. Adults have adult troubles, and youths have youth troubles. In short, everyone has troubles. I don't think it's necessary to share personal matters with readers; readers are here for the story, for enjoyment. Who wants to hear the author lamenting about life's hardships?~

It seems few live without hardship~ I need to adjust as well and not let emotions seep into the story~ So, a bit slower, I hope everyone understands, things will get better~)
