King of Assassins-Chapter 897 - 640: Conscription (Part 2)

Yuan Youyuan still wanted to ask more questions, but her mouth was blocked.

After the fierce battle, Yuan Youyuan was immersed in the lingering aftermath, her whole being—both spirit and body—soft and moist, fulfilled and sweet, with no inclination to further question Gao Xuan.

Gao Xuan, stroking the smooth and glossy skin of Yuan Youyuan, was also in a great mood. He proactively said, "If Shui Yunling wants to cooperate, we can discuss it. But if she wants to control me with her power, then there's nothing to say."

Yuan Youyuan was a bit worried: "The Shui Family is one of the Five Great Families, we cannot afford to offend Shui Yunling."

"The Five Great Families are the Five Great Families, Shui Yunling is Shui Yunling—they shouldn't be conflated."

Gao Xuan said, "We're in the Outer Star Realm; even if we offend her, what can she do? As long as she can't find faults with us, there's no need to pay her much attention."

The Outer Star Domain Sanctuary is under the control of the headquarters, but all Outer Star Domain Sanctuaries operate in a semi-autonomous state. The General Hall's influence over the Outer Star Domain Sanctuary is limited.

It's true Shui Yunling is from one of the Five Great Families, but with just her status, trying to exert influence on the Cloud Light Sanctuary through the General Hall isn't very likely.

In essence, the Sanctuary is a public institution, a mature and stable organizational system; the Shui Family cannot use it arbitrarily, let alone Shui Yunling.

If Shui Yunling has a sincere attitude, both sides can cooperate.

Gao Xuan doesn't mind lowering his posture, but he won't let the Shui Family knead him as they like.

The next day, Shui Yunling proposed to follow Gao Xuan to see how he would slay the Evil God.

As an investigator from the Inspection Department, Shui Yunling's request was very reasonable.

Yuan Ping was afraid something might go wrong, so she followed along. Plus Shui Yunling's entire team, a group of over a dozen people set off together on the Flying Ship.

The Evil Gods in Giant Kun City had all been killed; this time the group went to Profound Bird City.

Profound Bird City was more desolate than Giant Kun City, everywhere on the streets people lay around casually.

These people were not only poorly clothed, but each had a glazed look in their eyes, their skin a dry and sallow hue, some even had swollen and festering patches on their skin, oozing yellow fluid, looking like terminally ill patients.

The scan equipment on the Flying Ship is very advanced, able to observe all ground conditions from a thousand meters high.

Seeing these people lying on the street, a trace of disdain appeared on Shui Yunling's face; these people were clearly hopelessly addicted to electronic hallucinogens.

Such people, rotten to the core, are most common in the lowest strata of the Outer Star Realm. Even glancing at them makes one feel disgusted.

Yet Yuan Youyuan hadn't witnessed such a scene before; she deeply frowned, feeling particularly uncomfortable inside.

Giant Kun City, although desolate, maintained basic order, sustaining the basic form of civilized society.

Profound Bird City still had traces of civilization, yet accumulated the most negative aspects of it.

Only Yuan Youyuan felt this way, while others remained calm. Such situations in Profound Bird City are all too common in the Outer Star Realm.

To Shui Lingyun, these lower class individuals are merely feed for nurturing the Evil Gods, not her kind at all.

Seeing the expression on Yuan Youyuan's face, Shui Yunling knew that although the girl was smart, she was very naive. Gao Xuan, on the other hand, was deep and unfathomable.

The Flying Ship passing overhead attracted the attention of many.

Most of those paying attention to the Flying Ship were young people, dressed oddly, covered in tattoos, their bodies fitted with many electronic prostheses, with expressions fierce and brutal.

This ensemble was typical of gang members.

The more chaotic the social order, the more gang organizations there are. These gang members band together, as ferocious as can be.

The lack of order also meant gang members lacked reverence; seeing the advanced sanctuary Flying Ship, a few shabby electromagnetic hover bikes even took to the sky approaching the ship.

A group of gang members riding hover bikes, waving their gunpowder firearms, tried to force the Flying Ship to stop.

Shui Yulan gave a direct order: "Eliminate them."

The pilot of the Flying Ship, while from the Red Light Sanctuary, knew who in the cabin had the highest authority.

Without hesitation, he activated the weapons, automatic shooting barrels extending from beneath the hull, and the eight-barrel Fire God Spear swiftly rotated, spewing hundreds of bullets instantly.

The dozen or so boastful electromagnetic hover bikes were instantly shredded in the gunfire blaze, flesh and mechanical fragments scattered in mid-air leaving traces behind.

The sudden roar of gunfire echoed across the skies over the Profound Bird City District.

Many gang members watching the spectacle from afar were terrified, scattered and fled.

Only those ignorant of life-and-death lay on the streets, most barely even raising their heads.

Occasionally someone would roll their eyes and close them again.

Numerous gang members being killed didn't bother Yuan Youyuan. Anyway, only a group of trash died.

But the numbness of those at the bottom of the streets made Yuan Youyuan's heart grow cold.

When people reach this point, living and dying become indistinguishable.

Perhaps even worse than those evil gang members, for at least they still possess life energy.

Yuan Youyuan spoke to Gao Xuan over the communication system: "These people here are worse than dead." 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

"The Outer Star Realm is just like this. The Cloud Light Star Realm is the Capital Planet; though the Underworld is dark, it would never degenerate to such a level."

Gao Xuan was very composed, showing no dissatisfaction, "You need to learn to face life directly, the world is just so cruel."

In fact, although the Alliance from a thousand years ago was corrupt and depraved, with Evil Gods rampant, every planet maintained a civilized order.

No matter how the Evil Gods ravaged, they ultimately couldn't rise to power.
