Ye Xingcheng didn't recognize the assassins, but he could sense the strong astral power fluctuations from them. But these powerful Silver-tier assassins were killed by Gao Zhengyang right in front of him.
Gao Zhengyang used a method that was almost like showing off to take care of six assassins in one move.
The six fluttering shadows released and then retracted, splitting up and then combining back together. The wonderful rhythm between movement and stillness displayed the subtleties of martial arts to the fullest.
To be honest, this was the first time Ye Xingcheng felt that killing people could have a sense of beauty. His strength and technique seemed to have reached a certain extreme, making people feel like they were sincerely convinced. It left an indelible impression in their memories.
Ye Xingcheng was dazed for a while before he suddenly came to his senses. He cupped his hands at Gao Zhengyang and said, "Mr. Gao's skills are amazing. I'm impressed."
Gao Zhengyang collected another two Seven Kills Companion Stars, but he didn't dare to make any more trouble for now. The Heavenly Cycle Star Wheel in his body had just stabilized, and he needed some time to digest his gains. Then, he would absorb these two Natal Stars.
He gathered the chaotic astral power in his body, looked at Ye Xingcheng, and asked directly, "Why did you come back?"
Ye Xingcheng was a little embarrassed. He left Gao Zhengyang at the relay station and brought Ye Xingsha home. He didn't do this very well.
He hurriedly explained, "After I went back to ask the family head, I was afraid that someone would disturb Mr. Gao, so I hurried back to pick you up. I didn't think I would be too late. "
Ye Xingcheng's expression was apologetic, and his tone and attitude were a little more respectful. It couldn't be helped. Who asked Gao Zhengyang to show off his Six Kills just now? He had to admit that although Gao Zhengyang was arrogant, he did have the ability to show off.
He didn't dare to think about how strong Gao Zhengyang was, but killing him would be a piece of cake. No matter how his family wanted to deal with Gao Zhengyang, he had to be unusually cautious at this time.
Seeing that Gao Zhengyang didn't seem angry, Ye Xingcheng said, "The relay station is simple and not safe. Please follow me into the city, Mr. Gao."
Gao Zhengyang said nonchalantly, "That's fine too. You can arrange it as you see fit."
Ye Xingcheng was originally very displeased with Gao Zhengyang's behavior, but now he felt that Gao Zhengyang was very easy to talk to, so he heaved a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that Gao Zhengyang would ask about the assassin and then bring up Ye Xingsha. That would really be troublesome.
After obtaining Gao Zhengyang's permission, Ye Xing Cheng went to find the relay station's official. In fact, when the assassins and Gao Zhengyang fought so fiercely, the officials inside had already woken up.
However, the battle between the two sides was intense and the level of power was high, so the officials did not dare to show themselves. He could only hide in the house and observe the situation.
Seeing that the assassins had been dealt with, the official heaved a sigh of relief. If Gao Zhengyang was killed, he didn't know how to explain himself.
Hearing that Ye Xingcheng wanted to take Gao Zhengyang away, the official was even happier. If he didn't leave, he wouldn't know when he would be implicated.
Without any formalities, the official hurriedly organized people to send Gao Zhengyang, Ye Xingcheng, and the others out of the main gate.
At this time, Ye Xiao also quietly followed behind Gao Zhengyang. He didn't dare to get on the carriage, so he asked Ye Xingcheng's attendant for a horse and followed behind the convoy.
Ye Xiao was feeling very guilty now. Gao Zhengyang was ambushed, and he had seen it clearly. He had originally thought that Gao Zhengyang was dead for sure, but he didn't expect that Gao Zhengyang would turn the tables and kill him. He had obtained an impossible victory.
Ye Xiao, who had been waiting for Gao Zhengyang to be killed, was embarrassed. He couldn't explain why he didn't make a move just now. Gao Zhengyang didn't pursue the matter just now, didn't even ask about it, which made Ye Xiao feel even more guilty.
There were a few times when Ye Xiao wanted to run far away without a care. He could fly away anyway, but no matter how powerful Gao Zhengyang was, he couldn't fly. The Empire was so vast, where would Gao Zhengyang go to find him?
But for some reason, Ye Xiao always felt that Gao Zhengyang had a way to punish him. He hesitated again and again, but didn't dare to leave.
Just like that, Ye Xiao followed the convoy into the Ten Thousand Star City.
The Ten Thousand Star City was very big, and there was a curfew at night, so there was no one on the road. There were only specks of light coming from the tall buildings. The convoy walked on the dark long street for a long time, and it wasn't until the sky was almost bright that they arrived.
This was an independent courtyard, with three entrances in front and back. There was even a garden in the middle. The architectural style was exquisite and elegant, exuding a sense of wealth.
Ye Xiao had never been to the Imperial Capital before, so he was not used to such a highly decorative building. There were no narrow windows, no thick wooden doors, and most of the walls were wooden partitions and painted.
This made him very uneasy. He rested against such a wall. If someone stabbed him through the wall, he would be dead.
To be honest, Ye Xiao found it hard to understand why the house was built like this. It looked good, but there was no guarantee of life.
Gao Zhengyang, on the other hand, was quite satisfied with the courtyard. At least the windows were bright and clean, there was sufficient light, and the space was spacious. The furnishings were also more exquisite.
Ye Xingcheng and Gao Zhengyang exchanged a few polite words before he got up and left. He had to report what happened tonight to the Patriarch as soon as possible.
Gao Zhengyang's strength was unfathomable. If he wanted to kill him, he had to plan thoroughly and there must be no accidents.
After Ye Xingcheng left in a hurry, Ye Xiao also ran over to see Gao Zhengyang. As soon as he entered, before he could say anything, Ye Xiao knelt on the ground and kowtowed deeply.
Gao Zhengyang lay lazily on the bed, too lazy to pay attention to this idiot.
Just like that, Ye Xiao kept kneeling there for a long time, but he didn't get a response from Gao Zhengyang, which made him feel even more guilty.
Ye Xiao felt that this wasn't a solution. He thought for a while, raised his head and said, "Master, please forgive me this time." As he said that, he bowed his head and kowtowed deeply.
Gao Zhengyang sighed helplessly. "Alright, stop kowtowing. If you kowtow again, I will spill the water out of your brain … "
Ye Xiao was a little confused. What was this? Although he didn't quite understand the specific meaning, he thought for a while and roughly understood. Gao Zhengyang was mocking him.
"Why don't you think about it. If something happens to me, can you still live?"
Gao Zhengyang really couldn't bear to see an idiot like Ye Xiao. In order to prevent him from continuing to be stupid, he could only say everything clearly.
"You have two natal stars, one of which was forcefully planted by me. In this world, only I can resolve the conflict between your two natal stars. "
Gao Zhengyang said with a little impatience. "Hurry up and scram."
Ye Xiao's face was covered in cold sweat. After kowtowing hard, he knelt and left the room.
It was fine if Gao Zhengyang didn't say anything. He thought that the two natal stars were already in harmony. He didn't expect that this was only a temporary peace. It was only then that he came to a sudden realization.
No wonder Gao Zhengyang didn't care about him at all. So he had this kind of method. He secretly rejoiced that he didn't escape just now. Otherwise, he would definitely die.
In fact, Ye Xiao didn't fully believe in Gao Zhengyang. There were many strong cultivators in this world, and there would always be someone who could resolve the star power conflict. But why would those strong cultivators help him?
If he wanted to live, he could only follow Gao Zhengyang closely. He didn't know when this slave would become a leader.
Ye Xiao's heart was desolate. He used to be a lone killer. He would kill whenever he wanted. After making money, he would indulge in debauchery. How happy was that? But now, he was being chained up like a dog.
However, when he thought of Luo Ao, who was killed by Gao Zhengyang, Ye Xiao felt better.
Luo Ao claimed to be the king of assassins. Although it was a bit exaggerated, he was ranked first on the Seven Kills List for decades, and no one could shake his position. Who wouldn't be afraid of Luo Ao when his name spread?
What's more, Luo Ao only needed to send out a death invitation if he wanted to kill someone. The target would usually choose to commit suicide. There was no thought of resistance or struggle at all.
In the world of assassins, Luo Ao was undoubtedly a legend. Such an earth-shattering figure couldn't escape death in the hands of Gao Zhengyang.
In contrast, although he was struggling like a dog, he was still alive. This alone was a thousand times better than Luo Ao.
Ye Xiao comforted himself while thinking that Luo Ao's death would inevitably cause a huge wave in the world of assassins.
In fact, there were many people at the station at that time. The news of Luo Ao's death would soon spread.
Ye Xiao's guess was right. The news of Luo Ao's death spread to the upper echelons of the capital as the sun rose.
"What, Luo Ao is dead!"
Zi Hongyu slammed the table hard and screamed.
Her facial features were beautiful, and her purple hair added a touch of glamour to her appearance. However, she had long eyebrows and phoenix eyes, and there was a heroic spirit between her brows. Her high cheekbones made her look even more domineering.
At this moment, her face was full of anger, and her purple hair fluttered in the wind.
The old man in front of her, Zi Yichuan, seemed unusually calm and said softly, "Don't get excited, sit down and talk slowly."
Zi Hongyu quickly calmed down and sat down slowly. She asked with a puzzled expression, "Then who killed Luo Ao?"
Luo Ao's surname was actually Zi, but his real name was Zi Luo. He was originally a member of the Zi Clan. Because he awakened the Seven Kills Star at a young age, he faked his death and joined the clan's assassin organization.
Since then, there was an invincible Luo Ao in the world of assassins.
Luo Ao had always been the Zi Clan's trump card. Whenever they encountered a strong enemy, Luo Ao could deal with them. This time, in order to prevent Ye Xingsha and Yuan Rui from marrying, the Zi Clan had put in a lot of effort.
Back then, it was Zi Hongyu who arranged the assassins to ambush Ye Xingsha. Unexpectedly, Ye Xingsha, who usually looked silly, was able to hold on at the critical moment. She escaped the ambush.
When they found out that Ye Xingsha had left Scorpio City, it was the Zi Clan who organized a large number of assassins. However, Gao Zhengyang killed dozens of them. No assassin organization dared to accept the job.
It was also through those assassin organizations that Zi Hongyu found out that Gao Zhengyang had saved Ye Xingsha. In order to vent her anger, she asked Luo Ao to do it himself.
Unexpectedly, Luo Ao, who had brought a large number of experts with him, was killed by Gao Zhengyang.
This loss was too great. As the person in charge, Zi Hongyu had to bear all the responsibility. This was very hard for her to accept.
Zi Yichuan saw that Zi Hongyu had calmed down and said slowly, "This failure is not entirely your fault. I also made a mistake in judgment."
Zi Hongyu said unwillingly, "In this world, other than the Royal Family and the Eight Great Clans, where else can there be a superior inheritance? How could anyone kill Luo Ao? "
Since the founding of the empire, the Royal Family and the Eight Great Clans had firmly controlled the inheritance of Star Techniques. All the powerful inheritances in the outside world had been swept away by them.
Therefore, ordinary Star Masters could only reach Silver Nine Stars at most. However, the Royal Family and the Eight Great Clans could reach Silver Thirty-Six Stars and Gold Star Masters.
Especially Gold Star Masters. To ordinary Star Masters, they were like gods. A Gold Star Master could easily kill a hundred Silver Star Masters.
The huge difference in power made the accumulation of numbers meaningless. It was this huge difference in power that maintained the stability and unity of the empire.
For a thousand years, the Eight Great Clans and the Royal Family had become more and more decadent, inciting countless rebellions. However, these rebellions were all suppressed by absolute power.
Just like Luo Ao, he dominated the world of assassins because he had the inheritance of the Zi Clan. No matter how much an ordinary assassin cultivated, they could not catch up to Luo Ao.
Unexpectedly, Luo Ao, who had never been defeated, died while chasing a nameless junior. This was a huge blow to the proud Zi Hongyu.
Even the head of the Zi Clan, Zi Yichuan, was greatly shocked.
Zi Hongyu thought for a moment and said, "The inheritance of the empire has its origins. Gao Zhengyang must be from another clan, maybe even from the Royal Family."
Zi Yichuan shook his head, "According to the spectators, what Gao Zhengyang used was the Seven Kills Star Master Technique. It is not an inheritance of any clan. "
The secret technique of the Seven Kills Star Master had not been perfected for a thousand years. No one had truly cultivated it.
If the other clans or the Royal Family had mastered the Seven Kills Star Master Technique, the current power structure would have changed.
One had to know that the Royal Family was able to maintain imperial power because they had the Vanquisher Star Master Technique. Although no one had been able to cultivate it, they could temporarily control the power of the Vanquisher Star Master through a powerful Star Armament.
Therefore, the power of the Eight Great Clans continued to expand, but no one coveted the throne.
Zi Yichuan also did not believe that someone had mastered the Seven Kills Star Master Technique! This was a supreme power that could change the world.
Zi Hongyu was also a smart person and immediately understood the crux of the matter. She suddenly revealed a look of excitement, "Yes, the Seven Kills Star Master Technique is a heaven-defying technique. If Gao Zhengyang actually knew the Seven Kills Star Master Technique, the Emperor will be the first to punish him! "
"This …"
Zi Yichuan thought for a moment and his white eyebrows relaxed, "Yes, if the Emperor knew, he would definitely not allow such a person to exist."
Zi Hongyu said with some worry, "However, Gao Zhengyang's Seven Kills Star Master Technique is definitely not mature. Otherwise, it would not have been a narrow victory. It is even more impossible for it to be revealed publicly. "
She said in a low voice, "If I had mastered the Seven Kills Star Master Technique, I would definitely kill everyone and not let any information leak out. When the Secret Technique is completely mastered, then I will do something big! "
Zi Hongyu felt that this matter was completely illogical. She could not help but be a little hesitant.
"No matter."
Zi Yichuan said in a low voice, "For this kind of thing, it is better to believe it is true than not. If we tell the Emperor, how can he sit still? If there is a thousand, he will kill a thousand. He will not be lenient. "
At this point, Zi Yichuan suddenly laughed, "Ye Xingsheng has great ambitions but little talent. He actually did not understand the logic behind this and even brought Gao Zhengyang home. Hahahaha, this time, they are really out of luck. "
Zi Hongyu hesitated and said, "Ye Xingsheng is a sly old fox. He will definitely make a decision. This matter will not be difficult for him. "
Zi Yichuan shook his head, "No matter what Ye Xingsheng does, the Emperor will feel that he has ulterior motives. Not to mention anything else, just the marriage between Ye Xingsha and Yuan Rui will not be successful. "
"You have a wise grandfather."
Zi Hongyu was overjoyed. As long as she messed up the marriage between Ye Xingsha and Yuan Rui, she had a great chance of replacing Ye Xingsha and becoming the wife of a prince.
The key was that Yuan Rui was a generous and honest person. With him as a springboard, the Zi Family had a great chance of advancing.
Zi Hongyu had always been unconvinced. Her looks were not inferior to Ye Xingsha's, and her intelligence was far superior to that idiot's. She did not know why Yuan Rui had taken a liking to Ye Xingsha. This time, she finally had a chance to avenge her humiliation.
On the day of the wedding, she wanted to see what kind of expression Ye Xingsha would have!
The grandfather and granddaughter of the Zi Family were in a good mood as they thought about this. Although Luo Ao had died this time, which was a great loss. But using this opportunity to suppress the Ye Xing Family was a great gain.
In reality, Ye Xingsheng had indeed quickly realized that the fact that Gao Zhengyang possessed the Seven Kills Star Master Technique was a huge matter.
He looked at the excited Ye Xingcheng and wanted to slap him to death. Why didn't he say something so important earlier and wait for him to wake up? By now, the news must have spread throughout the capital.
"Patriarch?" Seeing that Ye Xingsheng's expression was not right, Ye Xingcheng was a little confused. He did not know what he had done wrong.
"Idiot!"
Ye Xingsheng suppressed his anger and asked, "Where did you arrange for Gao Zhengyang?"
"In the Lanting Villa," Ye Xingcheng hurriedly replied.
"Go and mobilize the Fanxing Group and surround Gao Zhengyang. Do not let him escape."
Ye Xingsheng said, "I will go to the palace to see His Majesty the Emperor and explain things clearly."
Ye Xingcheng did not quite understand. "What do you want to say to His Majesty?"
Ye Xingsheng could not hold it in any longer. He raised his hand and slapped Ye Xingcheng's face with his crutch, sending him flying far away. His face was almost smashed by the crutch.
Ye Xingsheng, who was in extreme pain, did not dare to get angry. He hurriedly crawled up from the ground and knelt down. "Patriarch, please calm down. Patriarch, please calm down."
"You really are an idiot. Gao Zhengyang used the Seven Kills Star Master Technique, and it is almost complete. How could the Emperor tolerate this kind of Secret Technique being spread outside? "
Ye Xingsheng was helpless against his own grandson's slowness, but among the younger generation, Ye Xingcheng was still considered capable. He could not really beat him to death either. After the beating, he still had to explain the reasoning behind it to him.
"Ah!"
Ye Xingcheng was not really stupid. He was just shocked by Gao Zhengyang's exquisite martial technique, and did not think of all this for a moment. Only after his grandfather's reminder did he suddenly realize the stakes involved here.
Ye Xingcheng was so frightened that his face turned pale. He hurriedly said, "Gao Zhengyang is too powerful. We still have to ask the Elder Ancestor to have a hundred percent chance of killing him!"
"Don't be hasty."
Ye Xingsheng coldly glanced at his grandson and lectured, "You have to be patient when doing big things. Gao Zhengyang cannot be casually killed. It is best to capture him alive and present him to His Majesty. Only then can we clear our names. "
Ye Xingcheng's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said softly, "Patriarch, why don't we first extract the Seven Kills Star Master Technique from Gao Zhengyang …"
"What are you thinking!"
Ye Xingsheng said coldly, "Gao Zhengyang will not have a complete Secret Technique. It is not worth it for us to take the risk for an incomplete Secret Technique. It is better to hand it over to the Emperor. "
"Yes, Patriarch is wise." Although Ye Xingcheng was a little unwilling, since Ye Xingsheng had already said so, he could only obey.
"Gao Zhengyang really came from the mountains and doesn't know the gravity of things …"
