King of Assassins

However, at this moment, Li Feihong sensed Gao Xuan’s power as if it belonged to a god.

She was truly captivated by this power, intoxicated and in awe, unable to control herself.

Now, facing Gao Xuan’s gaze, she felt completely at a loss.

Gao Xuan didn’t quite understand why Li Feihong was acting this way. This woman had average combat abilities, yet she was quite capable. Why now does she have the demeanor of a shy little girl?

This body looks good, but it doesn’t have that much allure.

Could it be that he just observed the River of Destiny, and Li Feihong was influenced by the overwhelming aura he emanated from it?

This is indeed very normal. The River of Destiny is so magnificent that only at his level can one have the right to look directly at it, though not yet qualified to enter and tamper with it.

A regular person like Li Feihong, even just sensing a tiny bit of the River of Destiny’s aura, would find it hard to maintain control.

This is not a bad thing. For Li Feihong, this even counts as a huge opportunity, allowing her to see her true self and fully unearth her innate talents.

Gao Xuan naturally didn’t bother explaining this to Li Feihong. He asked her, "What’s up, anything wrong?"

Li Feihong, somewhat uneasy, said, "People from the Black Dragon Society and Quick Blade Gang came asking us for news. Black Dragon, the boss of the Black Dragon Society, is extremely skilled at tracking and assassination, and the Quick Blade Nineteen Brothers of the Quick Blade Gang are all very formidable Quick Blade Masters..."

Li Feihong originally intended to warn Gao Xuan to leave quickly and not to drag them down.

After the recent events, she felt embarrassed to chase Gao Xuan away, so she could only divulge the intelligence she knew.

Gao Xuan understood Li Feihong’s meaning, "I got it, I’ll leave now."

Li Feihong hastily stopped Gao Xuan, "Be careful, there are many scouts outside the Iron Horn District. If they spot you, it’s over."

"I only fear they wouldn’t come."

Gao Xuan didn’t mind; he had deduced the key to controlling fate, making these people and issues irrelevant.

Still, it was necessary to resolve some troubles before taking action.

"Thank you, I can handle what happens next."

When Gao Xuan passed by Li Feihong, he patted her shoulder. Her face grew even redder, a thin layer of sweat formed on her forehead, her waist softened, and she seemed more vibrant overall.

Though Li Feihong didn’t say anything, her soft, pliant posture seemingly invited anyone to pluck the flower.

Gao Xuan’s gaze swept across Li Feihong’s slender waist, stirring a ripple in his heart: Maybe, he could relax for a bit.

Considering it was by mutual desire, in such chaos of the times, men and women indulging in mutual pleasure didn’t pose a moral problem.

However, Gao Xuan restrained his moment of whimsy, with the mighty power of controlling the River of Destiny ahead of him, thinking of intimacy would be wasting time.

Li Feihong noticed Gao Xuan leaving quickly, not even turning his head, slowly quelling the fire within her heart.

Still, Gao Xuan’s strong, steady, and restrained demeanor was remarkably appealing. Indeed, he was someone destined to accomplish great things...

Li Feihong began worrying about Gao Xuan. She pondered for a moment and then followed him downstairs hastily.

When Gao Xuan left the emblematic intersection of Iron Horn District, Li Feihong saw six or seven groups in various styles following him.

Ordinarily, Li Feihong wouldn’t care.

They were all looking for Gao Xuan; however they fought and killed was their business.

Because of the special feeling earlier, Li Feihong couldn’t help but lead a team of elites to follow from afar.

With so many tracking Gao Xuan, nobody would bother with Li Feihong.

Gao Xuan left Iron Horn District and soon reached a mostly collapsed building.

The remaining half of this building lay at an angle. Due to the poor conditions and risk of further collapse, not even homeless people would reside here despite having nowhere else to go.

This building, dubbed the Slanted Building due to its unique situation, was an area governed by no one.

As Gao Xuan entered the Slanted Building, the surrounding groups quickly encircled it.

This building had no exits, and the underground passages were long sealed. Surrounding the building on all sides meant Gao Xuan had no escape route.

Various gang members, already alerted, swiftly gathered here.

In less than twenty minutes, one to two thousand gang members had converged around the Slanted Building.

Watching from the side, Li Feihong grew more alarmed; nearly all significant gangs had shown up, including those from large groups such as the Black Dragon Society and Quick Blade Gang.

Members of the Black Dragon Society stood out; they were dressed in uniform black attire, each wearing a pair of Sunglasses.

Quick Blade Association members wielded bright curved long knives, unsheathed. Together, their blades glimmered sharply, exuding an impressive air.

Furthermore, the Axe Gang was the most imposing; their leader donned a full set of Outer Battle Armor and held a Mechanical Battleaxe. At over two meters tall and heavily built, he made a particularly striking presence.

Purple Rose, Axe Gang, Black Dragon Society, Quick Blade Gang, these are the four largest gangs in Wei’an City.

Other gangs were noticeably less prominent, similar to the Iron Bear Gang, among many others. Like the Flying Knife Association, scale-sized gangs numbered in dozens, while small factions were as numerous as cattle, beyond count.

At the Slanted Building, almost every notable gang was present.

Despite having an inexplicable confidence in Gao Xuan, thinking him akin to a deity, Li Feihong was anxious due to the overwhelming turnout. She worried for Gao Xuan.

Certainly, her basic rationality was intact. In this situation, she could not possibly stand out no matter what.
