King of Assassins-Chapter 921 - 648: Return to the Old Place (Part 3)

As for the Paladins of Sea Emperor Star, they wouldn't be so courteous. Sea Emperor Star Sanctuary already has a heap of problems, and the investigators are even more forceful.

Not to mention that everyone is unabashedly scrutinizing, even if they did something more excessive, Hai Zhen would have to endure.

Gao Xuan even felt that Hai Zhen intentionally left Hai Ting, the sweet and obedient Hai Ting, to further provoke men's thoughts.

One must know that Hai Zhen has lived for hundreds of years, could she not understand these reasons?

Hai Ting also sensed the brazen gazes from the group of men, her face reddening, looking somewhat embarrassed.

Yuan Youyuan felt displeased and grabbed Hai Ting's hand, "Your name is Hai Ting, right? I'm Yuan Youyuan."

"Hello, hello."

With Yuan Youyuan holding her hand, Hai Ting clearly felt more secure, she gratefully smiled at Yuan Youyuan.

Jin Hongtao clearly showed a displeased expression, he glaringly stared at Yuan Youyuan, and then looked at Gao Xuan. Though he didn't speak, his mouth shape clearly said: Kid, don't be presumptuous.

This warning carried a very strong implication, even with a significant hostility.

The other male investigators also had unfriendly expressions, their gazes towards Gao Xuan and Yuan Youyuan growing more complex.

Gao Xuan acted as if he didn't see them; arguing with such people was meaningless.

Yuan Youyuan coldly glanced at several men but didn't say anything.

Shui Yunhao noticed the awkward atmosphere and dryly laughed, "We're here for official business, the task should be the priority."

He then said to Jin Hongtao, "Brother Tao, these are my good friends, youthful and impetuous, don't take it seriously."

Jin Hongtao snorted and took several colleagues to the other side. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Shui Yunlan and Hai Zhen walked at the front, she too noticed the minor friction behind but didn't mind.

The two sides were never on the same path, and there was no need to forcibly gather. As long as Gao Xuan could locate the Evil God and complete his duties, nothing else mattered.

As for Jin Hongtao's group, who are all Noble Youths with eyes higher than their heads, she wouldn't want to make enemies over something trivial.

Shui Yunlan simply pretended not to see, she and Hai Zhen continued walking at the front, occasionally conversing casually.

Arriving at the vacuum storage, they saw Xiao Yu's corpse.

The completely naked body exuded the unique bluish-gray of death. Vacuum and low temperature kept the corpse in the state of death as much as possible.

Xiao Yu was a tall man, lying there it was clear how strong and robust he was in life.

Such a man, eyes hollow and dim, expressionless face, no visible wounds on his body.

Gao Xuan took just one look and knew this was a case of Divine Soul destruction. The body maintained considerable vitality.

With current technology, the body can even be revived. But, that is meaningless.

Hai Zhen pointed to the corpse and explained, "Warrior Chief discovered him dead. No wounds on his body, not even signs of battle. It's conjectured he was killed by the Evil God upon encounter..."

Speaking of this, Hai Zhen's expression also became heavy.

Xiao Yu, as Warrior Chief, was a Golden Belt Saint. Growing up in the Outer Star Realm, he undoubtedly went through numerous battles, rich in combat experience.

Such a strong figure, merely going out for a meal with friends, died silently. This terrified the entire Sea Emperor Star Sanctuary.

A group of people stayed inside the sanctuary, not daring to go out freely.

Hai Zhen's group waited for headquarters to send powerful figures to solve the issue; however, Shui Yunlan came instead.

To be honest, Hai Zhen felt disappointed. Though she was just an Execution Team Leader, she was also a Golden Belt Saint.

At a glance, Hai Zhen could tell Shui Yunlan's cultivation level was only Foundation Establishment.

Though the Noble Family was deeply rooted, what can Shui Yunlan achieve with such cultivation?

Hai Zhen even worried Shui Yunlan might die here, causing her great trouble. At the very least, her chance to become Warrior Chief of the Sea Emperor Star Realm would be lost.

Hai Zhen requested Shui Yunlan to examine the corpse, also reminding this investigator not to act recklessly.

Shui Yunlan's eyes shimmered with deep blue light, using the Magical Artifact Deep Blue to thoroughly scan Xiao Yu's corpse.

Deep Blue is a third-grade Spiritual Artifact, acquired by exhausting all her resources.

Deep Blue fully integrates with her eyes, allowing her to see broader fields, unaffected by illusions or Spirit and Soul Techniques.

The most powerful feature of this third-grade artifact is blending the formidable computing power of the Light Computer, enabling instant analysis and summarization.

It's no exaggeration to say that even against a Golden Core Level expert, she could identify the opponent's Source Power weaknesses and determine combat style vulnerabilities.

Another strong characteristic of Deep Blue is protecting the Divine Soul, shielding her from external attacks.

Shui Yunlan dared to lead the team solo here because of Deep Blue's protective capabilities. In critical moments, she could request a powerful Divine Artifact for combat.

Should the Evil God dare to appear, it would surely meet its end!

The reason headquarters dispatched her was because she wasn't a Golden Core, yet possessed combat prowess no less than one, possibly luring the hidden Evil God out.

After examining Xiao Yu's corpse, Shui Yunlan didn't say much. She merely requested Hai Zhen to assign someone to assist their investigation.

Hai Zhen immediately appointed Hai Ting, "This child is Foundation Establishment Seventh Level, very familiar with Sea Emperor Star, has rich combat experience. Meticulous thoughtfulness, strong team spirit."

Hai Ting seemed slightly unwilling but gracefully stepped forward to bow to everyone, "Investigators, feel free to seek my help for anything, I will fully cooperate."

Jin Hongtao and others showed ambiguous smiles, exchanging glances, privately discussing who knows what.
