CHAPTER 360: CHAPTER 320: I HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY_2

Speaking sharply, as if with an edge.

"Why is Gao Xuan so strong? It’s simply unreasonable."

Yu Tian Tao sighed, "I’ve looked into Gao Xuan’s background, and he’s just a mountain resident."

Yu Tianji asked, "How is the investigation into Gao Xuan’s social connections coming along?"

In fact, they had long conducted a detailed investigation into Gao Xuan and evaluated his various social relationships.

However, Gao Xuan’s relationships with everyone were quite ordinary. He had been with many women, but none of the relationships were deep.

This time, they had no choice but to re-initiate the investigation, trying to find Gao Xuan’s weaknesses.

"Wei Zhenzhen, Wei Yue, Jiang Xuejun, Xiao Wan, Xiao Ting, and possibly Xiao Jun..."

Yu Tian Tao said, "These women have decent relations with Gao Xuan, but that’s it. Even capturing them wouldn’t threaten Gao Xuan."

He thought for a moment and said, "I think Yun Qingshang, who is always by Gao Xuan’s side, is important to him.

"If we can capture Yun Qingshang, perhaps we can negotiate some terms with Gao Xuan."

"Yun Qingshang has long been hidden by the Xiao family."

Yu Tianji shook his head; this certainly wasn’t a brilliant plan. The key was that the Xiao family wasn’t stupid and wouldn’t let them act recklessly.

Yu Tian Tao said, "Then can we negotiate using Yuanlong Group as leverage?"

He emphasized, "I believe Gao Xuan is quite close to this mother and daughter pair, with various complex issues involved. Moreover, Gao Xuan is likely somewhat related to that assassin Blood Shadow."

Originally, although Gao Xuan was strong, no one paid much attention. The world is vast, and it’s not unusual for a genius to emerge.

But looking at Gao Xuan’s growth experience on Pegasus Star, there seems to be some connection to Blood Shadow.

This itself is nothing. Even if Gao Xuan is Blood Shadow, it’s still not surprising.

The key is that Blood Shadow has a very close relationship with Wei Yue. If Gao Xuan is Blood Shadow, then Wei Yue holds value.

Especially with a corporation like Yuanlong Group, with the Yu family’s influence, it wouldn’t be hard to exert influence.

Yu Tianji thought for a moment and said, "I see Gao Xuan as a ruthless person. Even if he does have some special feelings for Wei Yue, he wouldn’t change his decisions for her."

"At this point, we can’t afford to have any illusions. If Hodder is unavailable, we can invite the Master of Blood to descend."

Yu Tian Tao’s face changed dramatically, "Summoning an avatar of the Evil God would require a blood sacrifice of at least tens of millions of people."

"What are you afraid of? We’ve reached this point with no way out."

Yu Tianji coldly said, "I’ve arranged thirty nerve gas bombs in Jiyuan City. In just ten minutes, tens of millions of people can be killed. It should be enough to please the Master of Blood.

"All we ask for is for it to kill Gao Xuan!"

"This..."

Yu Tian Tao hesitated, considering the cost of millions of lives, even if they were from the lower class, after all, they were of the same species.

"If not, our millions of clansmen will die instead."

Yu Tianji said with a grim expression, "We have no choice."

Yu Tian Tao remained silent for a while and could only nod, "Fine, I’ll go preside over the ceremony."

"I say, aren’t you guys being a bit too dramatic?"

Gao Xuan, who had silently entered, listened to the conversation for a while and finally couldn’t hold back from speaking.

The Yu family was really crazy, willing to sacrifice millions just to kill him.

Yu Tianji and Yu Tian Tao were both startled, quickly standing up from their chairs and turning around to find Gao Xuan standing a few meters behind them, dressed in an off-white casual outfit, wearing large sunglasses, and holding a longsword in his hand.

"Gao Xuan, why are you here!"

Yu Tianji spoke while already activating his Biochemical Battle Armor, immediately donning a heavy black suit.

Yu Tian Tao also donned a black battle armor. Both brothers, holding their Sword Artifacts, looked nervously at Gao Xuan.

"Your Yu family has been around for a thousand years, yet you don’t even have a Golden Sword, how embarrassing."

Gao Xuan scoffed, finding the two men from the Yu family with mere Silver Swords in their hands rather pathetic.

Now that the Celestial Spirit Sword Box had regained some power, it had become more discerning. Ordinary Silver Swords no longer interested it.

Indeed, at this point, stuffing a hundred Silver Swords inside wouldn’t easily upgrade it. Only a Golden Sword could potentially lead to an upgrade.

Once upgraded, the Sword Qi from the Celestial Spirit Sword Box could reach the million level. That would be truly powerful.

Unfortunately, Golden Swords were really rare.

Yu Tianji noticed the subtle expression on Gao Xuan’s face and suddenly remembered that Gao Xuan liked to collect Sword Artifacts, especially precious ones.

Enemies killed by Gao Xuan would have their Sword Artifacts essentially taken by him. Although it wasn’t clear why Gao Xuan needed these artifacts, it was clearly important to him.

Yu Tianji said, "Mr. Gao, we have no intention of being your enemy. This time, we are willing to apologize and admit our mistakes. We can offer a Golden Sword as compensation..."

The Alliance Sword Dao was popular, and experts almost all wielded swords. High-tier Sword Artifacts were always in short supply, let alone Golden Swords, which were priceless.

Offering a Golden Sword as compensation, Yu Tianji felt he was bleeding inside.

However, as long as it could appease Gao Xuan, the cost was worth it.

Gao Xuan shook his head, "You two are disgusting to me, and I’m not interested in your stuff. You should just die."

Yu Tianji quickly shouted, "If I die, the nuclear bombs will immediately detonate. The fifteen billion people in Golden Source City won’t survive."

Gao Xuan paused before acting, "Oh really, why don’t you trigger one and let me see."

Yu Tianji was baffled by Gao Xuan’s meaning. Was he intending to go down with him?

Gao Xuan wasn’t concerned about what Yu Tianji was thinking. He said, "I’ll count to three, and I’ll draw my sword, and you can detonate the nuclear bombs. How’s that?"

Without waiting for Yu Tianji’s response, Gao Xuan continued, "It’s up to you now; I’m drawing my sword, 1, 2, 3."

Sensing something was wrong, Yu Tianji gritted his teeth and initiated the detonation command.

To Yu Tianji’s surprise, Gao Xuan didn’t draw his sword, and the nuclear bombs didn’t detonate.

Gao Xuan smiled playfully, "The bombs didn’t go off, surprising, isn’t it?"

Yu Tianji suddenly realized, "You blocked the wireless signal."

He shook his head, "It’s useless. Without my wireless command, the bombs will automatically detonate in six hours."

"You’re overthinking it."

Gao Xuan said leisurely, "I’ve been searching the last few days for your hidden bombs. Found seven of them and put them away. I just left an electronic emitter to keep up the interaction with you."

"How is that possible?" Yu Tianji couldn’t believe it. The nuclear bombs were his final trump card and were rendered ineffective.

"I intended to spare your life, but you crazily initiated the bombs. You deserve to die."

Yu Tianji regretted and was filled with remorse, trying to explain, but an intense and pure Sword Intent had already permeated his consciousness, freezing his spirit, Source Power, and body altogether.

Yu Tian Tao watched in stunned silence, not seeing Gao Xuan draw his sword, only witnessing Gao Xuan perform a stylish sheathing motion.

A wave of aqua-colored Sword Light rippled out, with Yu Tianji’s expression of despair; a line of blood quickly spread from his forehead, and he suddenly split into two.

Gao Xuan gave a slight smile to Yu Tian Tao, "Actually, I was just playing him. Whether he triggered the bombs or not, he was going to die."

Yu Tian Tao suddenly bowed deeply, "Mr. Gao, I have something to say..."
