Jin Yutang was very familiar with Gao Xuan's appearance when he had his eyes closed. For a while, Gao Xuan's face even became his nightmare.

Until many noble families joined forces and decided to teach Hercules a lesson.

The purpose of doing so was also to let others know the power of the Central Star Realm and that the honor of the Golden Family was inviolable.

During this period, Jin Yutang was naturally in high spirits and very pleased with himself. Until he saw Helen, a strong desire was uncontrollable.

Jin Yutang persuaded Jin Guangyao to have the Jin Family pressure Hercules to marry Helen to him.

As the situation in the Sea Emperor Star Realm worsened, Jin Yutang judged that Hercules wouldn't last long.

He couldn't help but directly contact Helen, wanting to show off.

Jin Yutang just liked Helen's beauty; he didn't love her, let alone respect her. He preferred her pitiful and bullied look, finding it more fun to play with.

Jin Yutang never expected that Gao Xuan would appear on the light screen.

Moreover, Gao Xuan had opened his eyes.

It was because of those deep blue eyes, resembling the starry sky, that Jin Yutang couldn't recognize Gao Xuan at first glance.

When he realized, he couldn't help but get furious.

Gao Xuan was the Alliance's most wanted criminal, yet Hercules dared to keep Gao Xuan in his house.

Even more audacious, Gao Xuan dared to show himself openly. He completely disregarded the Celestial Punishment Order of the Alliance. This was too rampant!

Looking at the furious Jin Yutang, Gao Xuan smiled even more happily, "No need to rush, I'll visit the Thousand Mechanism Star Realm to see you in a few days."

He paused and added a reminder, "I suggest you prepare some diapers. Otherwise, wetting your pants upon meeting would be too undignified."

Before Jin Yutang could say anything else, Gao Xuan ended the communication.

Jin Yutang was furious and cursed at the air for several minutes, cursing Gao Xuan's ancestors for eight generations.

Once he calmed down, he realized he should immediately notify his family.

Jin Yutang hurriedly contacted Jin Guangyao. This powerful member of the Jin Family, busy with numerous affairs, did not give high priority to a direct lineage descendant like him at home.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, Jin Yutang's communication request was finally accepted.

Jin Guangyao's face appeared on the light screen. Although this powerhouse was nearly a thousand years old, she looked like a woman in her forties.

She was not very beautiful, but her appearance was very proper. Her hair was neatly tied up without a strand out of place. Dressed in a black business suit, she looked like a stern middle-aged female teacher.

The only distinctive feature was the circle of golden red in Jin Guangyao's pupils, giving her a quite intimidating look. This was the ultimate manifestation of the Jin Family's Six Shocking God Techniques.

As an upper-tier Gold powerhouse, Jin Guangyao was also the strongest powerhouse of the Jin Family still active outside.

Facing this great-grandmother powerhouse, Jin Yutang did not dare to be presumptuous and honestly recounted the events. He also sent the video of his conversation with Gao Xuan to Jin Guangyao.

After watching, Jin Guangyao fell silent. Unlike Jin Yutang, she knew very well how formidable Gao Xuan was.

A nineteen-year-old young man, who single-handedly killed three Golden powerhouses. Qin Ken didn't count, being unskilled in combat. His death was to be expected.

However, Tifeng was a Middle-tier Gold, wielding the Eternal Spear. Yet even so, Gao Xuan somehow easily defeated him.

Tifeng's body disappeared, leaving no clues on Gao Xuan's methods.

However, the battle between Gao Xuan and Qin Xuan was recorded. In the end, Qin Xuan used Evil God Technique, with power comparable to Golden Upper Tier.

Despite this, Gao Xuan killed him with one sword strike. This demonstrated Gao Xuan's prowess.

Numerous Golden powerhouses evaluated, unanimously agreeing that Gao Xuan's power was already very close to Golden Upper Tier.

To realize that Gao Xuan was only nineteen, such power is simply terrifying. The speed of Gao Xuan's power growth was even more frightening.

Because at eighteen, he was not yet at Level 10. In just over a year, Gao Xuan leapt from Sword Hero to Sword Saint.

Even the Golden Families secretly blood-sacrificed to the Evil God to gain power. Yet nobody has progressed so rapidly.

Furthermore, Gao Xuan's combat skills seemed as mature and rounded as if he had practiced for hundreds of years. There was not a trace of youthful sharpness.

Gao Xuan's bold and audacious actions always carried an indescribable mystery.

As a result, many experts believed Gao Xuan was the incarnation of an Evil God. His appearance was to wreak havoc on the Alliance.

Being possessed by an Evil God could reasonably explain Gao Xuan's source of power and his enigmatic actions.

However, many top experts, including Song Town, did not agree with this speculation.

All experts who interacted with Gao Xuan found no trace of Evil God aura or any discordant special power on him.

Although Gao Xuan always kept his eyes closed mysteriously, he still carried the aura of a human.

Evil Gods and Alien Races, no matter how well they hid, could never conceal their inherent otherworldly aura when they revealed their power.

For the major Golden Families, not being an Evil God was more troublesome. Evil Gods had their needs. But no one knew what Gao Xuan wanted.

Logically, with his strength, if he wanted the Sword Dao League championship, everyone would give it to him. But he simply ignored that and forcibly seized the championship.

This led to enmity with several major families.

Given Gao Xuan's behavior, although he was arrogant and flamboyant, he wasn't a reckless brute. Why he behaved so dominantly, was beyond anyone's understanding.

Regarding Gao Xuan's attitude, the major noble families actually have differing opinions.

The Qin Family naturally called for his death, and absolutely will not allow Gao Xuan to live.

The Jin Family's attitude isn't as firm, but they are also filled with disgust and hatred towards Gao Xuan, because Jin Guangshan has been missing.

Jin Guangshan disappeared while tracking Gao Xuan. It can be concluded that Gao Xuan killed Jin Guangshan.

On the day of the earthquake outside Purple Wall City at the Yanshi Ruins, it is likely that Jin Guangshan was in a fierce battle with Gao Xuan.

There are no fools among golden powerhouses, and the power of the Golden Clan is even more formidable.

No matter how clean and beautiful Gao Xuan does things, he naturally leaves traces wherever he goes.

If Gao Xuan were not famous, it would be fine. But once he becomes a formidable enemy to the major noble families, all clues will naturally be brought together to piece together everything Gao Xuan has done.

With Jin Guangshan dead at Gao Xuan's hands, the Jin Family naturally wants to kill Gao Xuan. However, the Jin Family does not have such a strong willingness to act.

The Yuan Family, the Augustus faction, probably hold the same attitude.

They want to kill Gao Xuan, but they don't have such a strong willingness to act, nor are they willing to pay a high price for it.

After all, that is a golden powerhouse approaching the upper-tier level. This guy has no close friends and usually only has Yun Qingshang with him.

As for other women, Gao Xuan obviously wouldn't care too much.

Trying to kill such a golden powerhouse, whose movements are unpredictable, is not easy.

Of course, the Golden Family still has many means to deal with Gao Xuan. The question is whether it is worth paying such a high price.

This time, several families joined forces to oppress Hercules, as a gesture. However, they did not go too far.

At least they didn't kill Hercules or destroy the Sea Emperor Star, nor did they really do anything to Helen.

As for the Xiao Family of the Twelve Star Domain, like Wei Yue and others, they have not made any moves for the time being.

Killing these people is easy, but doing so would cut off all of Gao Xuan's social connections. This would force Gao Xuan into a corner.

Unless absolutely necessary, no one is willing to do this.

Even though the Qin Family has a strong desire to kill, they have to keep these people as bait. They can't be killed easily.

Because the one they want to kill is Gao Xuan, killing these small fry is meaningless.

Oppressing Hercules is also a way to force Gao Xuan out.

In short, the families working together are not unified in their determination to kill Gao Xuan but each has its own motives.

Jin Guangyao watched the short video of Gao Xuan speaking repeatedly; she was very curious about Gao Xuan's state.

Gao Xuan's eyes, when opened, are deep like the starry sky. Jin Guangyao, who has lived for nearly a thousand years, had to admit that Gao Xuan's gaze was filled with an indescribable charm.

Jin Guangyao isn't a little girl; she knows that Gao Xuan's looks and charm are actually a manifestation of his power's traits.

Now that Gao Xuan has opened his eyes, he's lost two points of mystery, but the whole person seems more perfect and appealing.

In Jin Guangyao's view, this is a sign of Gao Xuan's great progress in power. Moreover, Gao Xuan acts so arrogantly, clearly intending to make a bold move.

But how did he escape the Celestial Battle Realm? And how did he reach the Sea Emperor Star?

Jin Guangyao wasn't brainwashed by the Evil God; she of course needed to think calmly and weigh the pros and cons.

However, since Gao Xuan has appeared, this matter cannot end well.

The Qin Family, Yuan Family, and the Augustus faction, they all act very tough. Then there's the Evil God wreaking havoc from behind the scenes. This time, things are really going to get lively.

Jin Guangyao certainly had no fondness for Gao Xuan, and she hoped that Gao Xuan would be exterminated. She didn't want to make a move mainly because she was afraid of getting hurt.

Jin Guangyao immediately notified all allies of Gao Xuan's appearance.

The news of Gao Xuan's appearance quickly spread.

Hercules, sitting on the throne in the Sea Emperor Palace, learned through the Dark Web that Gao Xuan had returned and was actually in his Sea Emperor Palace.

Hercules was infuriated. It's one thing for this kid to return without saying a word, but why go around announcing that he's in the Sea Emperor Palace? What's his intention?

"Gao Xuan!"

Hercules roared with spiritual power, wishing he could use it to shout Gao Xuan to death.

Gao Xuan lazily replied, "Wait a moment, I'm busy."

Then, Gao Xuan's spiritual power blocked Hercules like a wall.

Hercules vaguely felt that Gao Xuan and Helen were busy with something, but he was extremely annoyed and had to wait patiently.

After two hours, Gao Xuan appeared before Hercules in a loose robe.

Hercules glared coldly at Gao Xuan with a stern face: "Today, you must give me a reasonable explanation."

"I brought back the Sea Emperor Trident."

With a single sentence, Gao Xuan defrosted Hercules' stern face. He immediately stood up, eyes filled with delight, and even his mouth showed an involuntary pleased smile: "You really got the Sea Emperor Trident?"
