King of Assassins-Chapter 909 - 644: Opportunity

"Huo Wuming, the name sounds quite strange..."

Gao Xuan vented to Yuan Youyuan on the communication channel. No matter how high the other party's status was or how strong their abilities were, he wasn't afraid.

Yuan Youyuan, however, felt a bit anxious. She hastily warned Gao Xuan, "Don't speak recklessly, this person is quite a big figure."

"How big?" Gao Xuan knew very little about the situation at Holy Hall Headquarters, and he hadn't actively sought out information.

Whoever runs the Holy Hall Headquarters was somewhat distant from him, and he felt no need to inquire.

Yuan Youyuan, coming from a Noble Family, although she'd never been to the Central Star Realm, knew some details about the Holy Hall Headquarters.

Afraid of Gao Xuan acting recklessly, she explained proactively, "The highest level at Holy Hall is the Twelve Purple Belt Saints. They are also known as the Twelve Apostles. It's said that these Twelve Saints are the closest powerful figures to the Divine Emperor."

"Below the Twelve Apostles are the thirty-six Red Belt Divine Envoys!"

Yuan Youyuan seriously reminded Gao Xuan, "This means that the honorable Huo Wuming ranks within the top forty-eight powerful figures in the entire Alliance."

"I get it, I get it."

Gao Xuan understood immediately, this isn't the structure of the Moisture Hall, transplanted to the Holy Hall.

The Moisture Hall is ultimately a secret organization with significant influence, but in terms of actual power, it's far less than the Holy Hall.

The Holy Hall is truly the ruler of the entire Alliance; the administrative system of the Alliance and all major companies must attach themselves to the Holy Hall.

Even if Huo Wuming is the lowest-ranked Divine Envoy, he is a remarkable figure for the Cloud Light Star. Such a person could turn the Cloud Light Star Realm upside down with a single word.

The more noble the family, the more they revere such powerhouses.

Clearly, no one expected Shui Yunling's death to draw out such a bigwig.

This level of involvement was extraordinarily high, making everyone uneasy.

Yuan Youyuan had things on her mind; she was very afraid that the concealed Divine Crystal would be exposed, which would be a disaster.

Shui Yunling came specifically to investigate this affair, and the private concealment of the Divine Crystal by her and Gao Xuan was essentially the cause of everything.

Huo Wuming coming personally would inevitably clarify this matter.

Yuan Youyuan was really worried; Gao Xuan could fool Shui Yunling, but could he truly fool this Red Belt Saint?

Every Red Belt Saint is a super-tier gold powerhouse! Yet, even a super-tier gold powerhouse may not qualify for a red belt.

The matter was too important; Yuan Youyuan didn't dare communicate with Gao Xuan over the Celestial Net, nor did she dare exchange using Spiritual Power.

Who knows the extent of Huo Wuming's divine techniques.

Yuan Youyuan could only signal Gao Xuan with her eyes, indicating he should stay out of trouble and not speak rashly.

Gao Xuan knew what Yuan Youyuan was worried about. He gave her a reassuring look, indicating that everything was under control.

Huo Wuming might not know what Gao Xuan and Yuan Youyuan were saying, but his senses were acutely tuned, capturing their subtle expressions and eye movements.

Clearly, Yuan Youyuan seemed a bit anxious. That was also normal. Because everyone present was in that state.

The sole exception was Gao Xuan, who appeared quite composed and confident.

Huo Wuming found it a bit surprising that there was such an outstanding individual in such a remote area of the Outer Star Realm?

Even among the offspring of major Noble Families, seeing him in such a setting, it would be difficult to maintain composure.

However, Huo Wuming didn't pay too much attention to it. With so many humans, various kinds of geniuses would always emerge.

Standing in his position, he had seen too many geniuses. To him, they were merely more valuable consumables.

Huo Wuming said to Gao Xuan, "Where's the battlefield where you slew the Evil God? Lead the way."

Yuan Ping, Yuan Tiejiang, and others dared not say a word. Yuan Youyuan was anxious but also didn't dare to speak.

By order of the Deputy Minister of the Inspection Department, they had no authority to refuse.

Gao Xuan nodded; he was about to speak when Huo Wuming swept his long sleeve, and the two transformed into a beam of silver light, ascending to the sky.

The crowd watched the scattered dots of silver light dispersing through the air within the Holy Hall, speechless.

This Deputy Minister of the Inspection Department truly had a unique style of conduct.

The crowd silently critiqued, but no one dared to speak publicly, and certainly not to discuss anything.

Only Yuan Youyuan stared at the golden dome of the old and faded hall, full of concern.

Yuan Ping consoled Yuan Youyuan, "Don't be afraid. You and Black Tiger performed excellently. No matter what, you won't bear any responsibility."

Yuan Youyuan could only nod, silently praying for the protection of the Divine Emperor, hoping Gao Xuan was reliable and wouldn't inadvertently reveal any faults in front of Huo Wuming.

The silver light sparkled, and in less than a second, Huo Wuming brought Gao Xuan to the battlefield from three hours ago.

The Evil God Deep Sea was dead, but the Evil God's aura still floated in the air.

The tsunami triggered by enormous energy continued to spread across the ocean surface.

Gao Xuan stood several thousand meters high, just enough to clearly see the sea waves roaring and ravaging the coastline.

For those near the sea, it was a devastating disaster.

Huo Wuming paid no heed to the tsunami; his gaze wandered above the battlefield, searching for traces of Source Power left by the battle.

Such level of Source Power warfare would leave profound Source Power imprints that wouldn't completely disappear within a day or two.

Through these scattered Source Power imprints, Huo Wuming could reverse deduce the battle process. Hence, his urgency to rush to Red Light Star.

As mentioned before, Shui Yunling himself wasn't that important; what mattered was the preservation of the Inspection Department's dignity.

If anyone dared to kill an investigator, the world would fall into chaos. The Inspection Department would never allow such a situation to arise.

Huo Wuming's left eye transformed into a vertical pupil sparkling with scarlet light, which in truth was a Second-Grade Spiritual Artifact—Candle Dragon Eye. It could illuminate the Yin-Yang realities and discern all things.

In his Candle Dragon Eye, he could clearly see the Source Power imprints left in the Void.
