Chapter 107: Chapter 104: People do not know me, but I alone know them

Zhongyuan Hotel, the luxury executive suite on the top floor.

Yan Qingge was on a video call with Wei Yue, “President Wei, our Yan Family values the Skywalker Gene Potion highly, and we can definitely collaborate.”

Wei Yue said, “Oh, in what way would we collaborate?”

She wasn’t against collaboration, she just couldn’t accept others’ aggressive plundering and devouring.

The Zhongjing Yan Family was a noble family with a history spanning thousands of years. Their reputation externally was also quite good. At least, their conduct wouldn’t be too unseemly.

It is precisely for this reason that the Yan Family could firmly establish themselves on Pegasus Star for thousands of years, becoming one of the most powerful noble families in the East Continent.

Compared to the Yan Family, An Shirong was nothing.

Yan Qingge said, “We can invest in shares, just 25% of the shares. We will give President Wei a fair valuation.”

She paused and emphasized, “Once we become business partners, all current troubles will cease to be troubles.”

“This matter is very important, I need to think it over carefully.”

Even though Wei Yue was tempted, she couldn’t possibly agree to anything immediately.

Yan Qingge understood as well, she said, “President Wei, to promote the Skywalker Gene Potion throughout the Alliance and grow Yuanlong Company stronger, you’ll need more partners. Eating alone will only invite jealousy from countless others.”

This principle was simple, Wei Yue naturally understood. It’s just that she was used to controlling everything before and needed time to adapt to the change.

Before ending the communication, Yan Qingge reminded again, “President Wei, Cao Xiong is coming aggressively this time, be careful not to underestimate him.”

Having said so much, the decision now rested on Wei Yue’s wisdom and temperament.

Once their communication ended, Nuwa reported to Gao Xuan, “Wei Yue is planning to team up with the Yan Family. If they do cooperate, you will no longer be important, you might even become a hindrance.”

Nuwa smiled and said, “If I were Wei Yue, the first thing I’d do after cooperating with the Yan Family is eliminate you.”

“Wei Yue isn’t that stupid.”

Gao Xuan didn’t fully trust Wei Yue; he just believed Wei Yue had the brains.

Killing him wouldn’t benefit anything, not to mention the so-called silencing. On the contrary, failing to kill him would provoke an extremely dangerous assassin.

Such an action would yield minimal benefit and tremendous risk. Also, Wei Yue couldn’t possibly trust the Yan Family completely; she would need a sword in her hand.

Nuwa understood this reasoning, she just wanted to scare Gao Xuan.

“You aren’t foolish, but seriously, you need to deal with Cao Xiong quickly. Otherwise, you’ll have to flee…”

Nuwa said, “I’ve looked around for you, Taurus is also nice. I can arrange a new identity for you. It’s just a pity about your pretty face, you’ll have to change it!”

Even though Nuwa was just a virtual personality of the Heart of Data, she adored Gao Xuan’s looks.

Without Gao Xuan as a template, the Heart of Nuwa couldn’t create such perfect beauty.

The key is Gao Xuan’s unique temperament and spiritual power, giving his looks unmatched vitality. This is something data cannot simulate.

“I refuse to change identity, and no way to change face.”

Gao Xuan couldn’t accept running away, as his Six-winged Celestial Cicada evolution path aimed for perfection.

Changing his face would affect his evolution path. This is no small matter.

Besides, things hadn’t reached that stage yet.

“I’ll settle Cao Xiong tonight.”

Before Gao Xuan’s words faded, Wei Yue’s message arrived.

Wei Yue recounted the matter with Yan Qingge and said she decided to accept the Yan Family’s investment. Finally, Wei Yue courteously sought Blood Shadow’s opinion.

“No opinion.”

Gao Xuan replied with just three words, for he wouldn’t interfere with Wei Yue’s specific business strategies and had no interest in meddling.

As long as Wei Yue didn’t act recklessly, the rest was up to her.

“Wei Yue really trusts you.”

Nuwa was a bit surprised; it wasn’t normal for Wei Yue to trust an assassin like this.

“I’m her crucial support. It’s only right to give her a heads-up.”

Gao Xuan didn’t dwell on this problem. After taking down his opponent with a single strike, he declared the broadcast over.

Exiting the live stream, Wei Zhenzhen quickly approached, “Brother, you’re too handsome, I love you so much…”

Nuwa shook her head, “Girls are truly bold these days!”

Gao Xuan, in high spirits, politely asked Nuwa to leave and engaged in a vigorous activity with Wei Zhenzhen.

Once Wei Zhenzhen was asleep, Gao Xuan gracefully left the bed. He changed into a black combat robe, and his figure blurred into transparent water-like light, drifting out of the window.

The Invisible Cicada Wing Sword vibrated, and Gao Xuan’s fully transparent figure shot into the sky.

The Invisible Cicada Wing Sword itself was invisible and shapeless, able to exist as pure Source Power. It could also exist in a blade-like material form.

In the void, no one would be alerted by the vibrations of Gao Xuan’s Invisible Cicada Wing Sword. Although activating it would disrupt his Stealth, causing his form to flicker like water light.

However, high-altitude scanners targeted various aircraft and couldn’t detect Source Power vibrations.

Gao Xuan’s Six-winged Celestial Cicada could also capture various electromagnetic signals, allowing him to easily avoid different monitoring areas.

Under the strong propulsion of the Invisible Cicada Wing Sword, his speed could reach two hundred meters per second.

At this speed, even the invisible air became viscous like water. While flying, constant resistance from air needed to be overcome, and the intense tearing through the constraints actually enhanced the exhilarating sensation of extreme speed.

Gao Xuan flew freely through the sky, feeling exceptionally light and joyful. This feeling was unmatched by any mode of transportation.

Riding the skies, cities, and lands lay beneath his feet. He felt like the ruler of the world. With spirit perception, his spiritual power became more vibrant and lively than ever before.

In just three minutes, Gao Xuan arrived above the Zhongyuan Hotel on the Third Ring.

The distance to Cao Xiong’s direct position here was only two hundred meters. If using a gun, hitting Cao Xiong would be easy.

However, Cao Xiong stayed here openly, surely having some protective measures. There’s no way he could be taken down with just one shot.

The Zhongyuan Hotel was heavily guarded, entering silently was no easy feat.

The Six-winged Celestial Cicada’s wings buzzed, warning Gao Xuan of great danger ahead.

In Gao Xuan’s spiritual sense, the Zhongyuan Hotel became fully transparent, with figures like Cao Xiong, Yan Qingge, an unknown Level 10 expert on the lower floor, and lurking Armor Squad, all clearly revealed.

Those discovered posed no threat. The Six-winged Celestial Cicada’s three pairs of transparent wings vibrated rapidly, its external spiritual power constantly changing frequency.

No matter what the hidden danger is, as long as it can be perceived, it can be discovered and understood.

The powerful and mysterious spiritual scanning technique allowed Gao Xuan to quickly lock onto six unknown objects on the top floor of the Zhongyuan Hotel.

Due to some kind of marvel, Gao Xuan’s spiritual sensing was obstructed.

But in his mind, the Six-winged Celestial Cicada resounded loudly, and invisible spiritual power easily tore through the obstacle posed by the marvel, completely scanning the conditions of the six objects.

It had to be admitted, the opponent’s methods were very cruel.

If he dared to enter the top floor to take action. By then, no matter how high his Swordsmanship was, he would be reduced to ashes.

To this end, the opponent also prepared a deeply hidden Tenth-level Expert to respond on the ground floor.

Gao Xuan did not know the background of that Tenth-level Expert, but thought he was likely a master, an accomplice of Cao Xiong.

Using such vicious means, it should also be with the intention to conveniently deal with Yan Qingge.

The Yan Family’s power is vast, yet they also have numerous enemies. Moreover, the Yan Family’s desire to cooperate with Wei Yue probably also hindered many people.

A Tenth-level Swordsman like Yan Qingge, who even has the potential to break through to the Silver Energy Level in the future, is undoubtedly a thorn in many people’s eyes.

Cao Xiong must have special methods for self-preservation, he won’t die easily. But he could kill two birds with one stone, resolving both the assassin and Yan Qingge together.

The entire design was very perfect.

However, those who designed the ambush could never have imagined how powerful the Six-winged Celestial Cicada is.

This kind of variable cannot be calculated. Even Nuwa could not calculate the variable of the Six-winged Celestial Cicada.

Because there is no relevant data collection, nor is there knowledge of the operation mode of the Six-winged Celestial Cicada. So any guesses have to be established based on Gao Xuan’s performance.

Even Nuwa is like this, not to mention those who designed the ambush.

No one knows me, but I alone know others.

This is the strength of the Six-winged Celestial Cicada, always having the upper hand, mastering more information.

Therefore, Gao Xuan was able to hang on until the last in his past life. Until there was nowhere to escape, nowhere to hide.

Reborn, Gao Xuan’s power level fell to rock bottom, but he had the opportunity to cultivate anew.

Aurora Sword Technique, Six-winged Celestial Cicada, both advance along the most perfect route.

Although Gao Xuan is only Level 7 now, his strength already far exceeds that of ordinary Level 10. All the basic data of his body also greatly exceeds the average level of a Tenth-level Expert.

Thus, Gao Xuan can easily annihilate Bai Yuncheng. This is because there is a huge gap in strength.

The Six-winged Celestial Cicada, at the Bronze Energy Level, also possesses exceptionally strong spirituality due to Gao Xuan’s almost perfect evolution.

Although its energy level is far from the peak state of his previous life, the Six-winged Celestial Cicada now has more spirituality and is more closely connected with Gao Xuan. This makes it very easy for him to discover the other party’s conspiracy.

Without a doubt, Yan Qingge would not like this mutual destruction tactic.

Turning his thoughts, Gao Xuan quickly thought of the best way to handle the situation.

Since discovering Cao Xiong and his group, Gao Xuan had been considering how to solve this trouble.

There’s no need to discuss anything with Cao Xiong.

Of course, if Cao Xiong hadn’t been discovered, Gao Xuan wouldn’t have bothered with him.

However, Yan Qingge is a member of the Zhongjing Yan Family and came with a specific purpose. It may not be necessary to kill the other party.

Wei Yue also mentioned earlier that she would cooperate with the Yan Family. Yan Qingge could barely be considered an ally. This discovery further proves that Yan Qingge is a very good collaborator.

Gao Xuan sent a message to Yan Qingge via the Dark Web: “Ms. Yan, how do you feel?”

Receiving the message, Yan Qingge was shocked. Who sent this seemingly random message? And what does the content imply?

The problem is that everyone in the whole special mission team is staying on the top floor, including her and Cao Xiong. Who would do such a thing?

Has Cao Xiong gone mad?

Gao Xuan sent a message: “You better be careful. Don’t trigger the alarm system.”

Although the other party used a shielding method similar to the Yin Demon Talisman, even experts cannot perceive it.

Although Yan Qingge is a Tenth-level Swordsman, she was completely unaware of this.

She was half-believing, half-doubting as she walked into the living room, staring at the exquisite solid wood coffee table with a look of deep thought.

To be honest, Yan Qingge did not believe these two pieces of information. But she still wanted to see it with her own eyes to be sure.

Yan Qingge didn’t find any issues in the living room; the windows were covered by curtains, so it was impossible to see her exact position from outside.

After waiting for a full minute, Yan Qingge gently moved the coffee table, cut open the red wool carpet, revealing the solid wood floor beneath.

If you only look at the floor, there is nothing wrong with it.

Yan Qingge reached out and gently pressed the floor, triggering a slight Source Power vibration.

This Source Power vibration was extremely subtle and exquisite, and the power emitted would not directly affect the material. But through the rebound of Source Power, it could determine the spatial conditions and material conditions within a certain range.

Yan Qingge quickly discovered a twenty-centimeter square wooden box under the floor.

Yan Qingge was not dumbfounded, although she almost devoted all her energy to cultivation.

She immediately realized this was a trap targeted at her, a trap with great malice towards the Yan Family.

Yan Qingge’s face turned ashen, and her heart surged with killing intent.

As a member of the Yan Family’s Direct Lineage, she had never encountered such vicious means. She was instantly infuriated.

Without a doubt, this set-up must have been led by Cao Xiong. At the very least, Cao Xiong was one of the masterminds.

Yan Qingge felt an impulse to immediately draw her sword and confront Cao Xiong.

“If I were you, I wouldn’t do that.”

Gao Xuan sensed Yan Qingge’s agitation and sent another message: “There’s a security guard on the second floor, he’s an expert.”

At this point, Nuwa popped up with a reminder: “Qu Xing. A disgusting old guy.”

Gao Xuan wrote another name: “Qu Xing, also one of the masterminds of this plan. Now you know what to do, right?”

Yan Qingge took a deep breath, slightly hesitating whether or not she should follow the other’s words.

Maybe, this is all part of the opponent’s plot!
