King of Assassins

"Because I am a reasonable person."

Gao Xuan smiled and said, "You're still too young. Life's road must be walked slowly. In the future, you'll know how right I am."

Gao Xuan continued, "The old man has been good to me, and I won't let him be troubled. I can handle Helen's family affairs."

He thought for a moment and then said, "Do you know those two Golden Sword Saints invited by the Wang Family and the Lin Family?"

The topic shift was abrupt, but it was what Xiao Wan was most concerned about.

She said, "I've heard it's the Purple Light Sword Saint Shao Daoyuan. This person has a bad reputation in the Cloud Light Star Realm, very greedy for money, and quite unrefined in his actions..."

All Golden Sword Saints are famous figures. The Purple Light Sword Sect founded by Shao Daoyuan is also quite renowned in the Cloud Light Star Realm.

It's unknown how much the Lin Family and Wang Family spent to invite Shao Daoyuan to act.

Gao Xuan didn't remember Shao Daoyuan, which is also normal.

For a Golden Sword Saint like Shao Daoyuan, who hasn't left any mark in human history, there's no value in remembering him.

He looked it up online and could almost certainly tell that this was the lowest-level Golden Sword Saint. This put him at ease.

"Pay attention to this Sword Saint's itinerary, and inform me when he arrives at Taurus."

Gao Xuan instructed Xiao Wan.

Xiao Wan was stunned, "What do you plan to do?"

"Of course, to share the burden for the Xiao Family."

Gao Xuan said, "Haven't I mentioned before that I can handle the Golden Sword Saint? The old man is afraid of taking risks, it's fine, I'll handle him privately."

He flashed a grin at Xiao Wan, "Don't worry, this villa isn't being lived in for free."

Xiao Wan was a bit worried, "Don't be reckless. The opponent is a Golden Sword Saint."

Gao Xuan pointed at his temple, "See this? This brain is a hundred times smarter than yours. Just focus on doing what you need to do."

Xiao Wan was a bit embarrassed and angry, "Fine, I'll see how you get yourself killed!"

...

At the VIP passage of the Golden Source City terminal, Lin Yuan and Wang Zizheng stood at the front, with hundreds of sturdy men in black behind them.

A group of people standing here created an imposing atmosphere.

As soon as Shao Daoyuan emerged, Lin Yuan and Wang Zizheng led the group to meet him.

On the surface, Shao Daoyuan looked like an ordinary middle-aged man, with slightly purple skin—like someone often exposed to sunlight.

The only distinct feature was his deep purple pupils, filled with a radiant gleam, very spirited. He wore a blue dragon-patterned Tang suit, holding a folding fan in his hand, and displayed rather old-fashioned manners.

Following behind Shao Daoyuan were several disciples, each with a handsome yet slightly feminine appearance. They followed beside Shao Daoyuan, faces full of respect and fawning smiles.

"Mr. Shao, welcome, welcome." Lin Yuan warmly greeted with a respectful salute.

Wang Zizheng also smiled and clasped his fists, "Mr. Shao, you've had a long journey."

"We're all old friends, no need for formalities..."

Shao Daoyuan replied amiably with a smile, appearing extremely affable.

The two sides had met before and chatted many times over video. They could be considered acquaintances.

With Lin Yuan and Wang Zizheng purposefully flattering him, the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

The group boarded a fleet of cars, a line of luxury cars arrogantly soaring through the air, causing other flying cars to veer aside.

Shao Daoyuan curiously observed the scenery outside the car, finding the underwater Golden Source City rather distinctive.

"Once the matters are concluded, we'll thoroughly entertain Mr. Shao. There are quite a few interesting places in Golden Source City... that's the Golden Radiance Sea, famous for the delicious Golden King Crabs..."

Lin Yuan pointed out the car window as he introduced, suddenly noticing a silver figure in the sky.

Upon closer inspection, that person was clad in a magnificent silver armor, holding a longsword. The key feature was that the person's appearance was unsurpassably handsome, standing in the sky like a deity.

"Gao Xuan!?" Lin Yuan immediately recognized him, astonished. What did Gao Xuan intend to do, fully equipped like this? Was he planning to attack them?

This kid must be insane!

Lin Yuan was both surprised and amused, having been too busy welcoming Shao Daoyuan these days to bother settling scores with Gao Xuan. And here the latter was, delivering himself willingly.

Shao Daoyuan and Wang Zizheng also saw Gao Xuan, both similarly surprised.

Shao Daoyuan's surprise was due to Gao Xuan's incredible handsomeness, evoking a sense of fondness in him. He couldn't help but ask, "Who is this?"

"Gao Xuan, from the Xiao Family."

Wang Zizheng sneered, "This kid dares to show up, he's asking for death."

Shao Daoyuan smiled, "Such a person, it would be a pity to kill."

Wang Zizheng and Lin Yuan exchanged glances, both recalling Shao Daoyuan's preference for unscrupulous means.

The two couldn't help but smile; wouldn't it be perfect to deliver Gao Xuan to Shao Daoyuan!

Wang Zizheng said, "This person has strong swordsmanship, I fear we might not catch him alive easily."

Shao Daoyuan elegantly waved his folding fan, "I will personally capture him."

Before he finished speaking, Gao Xuan's clear and magnetic voice sounded in everyone's ears, "Where is Shao Daoyuan, face my sword!"

Gao Xuan's voice carried a sharp, forceful Sword Intent, as if an invisible Divine Sword pierced into everyone's heart.

Lin Yuan, Wang Zizheng, and the others all turned pale, their Source Power aura slightly disrupted.

Even Shao Daoyuan's eyes flickered; this Sword Intent was formidable.

The next moment, a clear aqua-colored Sword Light flooded everyone's eyes.
