Cyberspace is a virtual kingdom of God, where human intercourse can be simulated and all kinds of pleasure can be experienced.
However, Huo Fengwu was just making a gesture to show her respect for Gao Xuan. As a beautiful woman from the Huo family, she had many suitors, so there was no need for her to offer herself voluntarily.
Gao Xuan just joked with Huo Fengwu. The other party was willing to give him the Red Sun Golden Crystal for experiments. This trust was rare.
Gao Xuan readily gave Huo Fengwu the design. He reminded her, "It takes a lot of luck to refine a third-grade magic weapon. My Demon-Splitting Arm Blade is in harmony with my soul, and with a bit of luck, it can be refined into a third-grade weapon. It is almost impossible to refine a weapon at the studio to reach the third-grade level..."
The studio has more and better refining equipment, and the technology and craftsmanship are also higher. However, for a third-grade magical instrument, just having good technology is useless.
The most important thing is that the rune seed of the magic weapon can be completely integrated with the red sun golden crystal. This requires a very high level of soul, and even a Jindan-level strongman would find it difficult to do it.
Gao Xuan couldn't say it directly, so he could only remind Huo Fengwu not to think too highly of herself.
Huo Fengwu knew that it was not easy to refine a third-grade magic weapon. However, being able to refine a fourth-grade magic weapon was also very impressive. This design was more valuable than a small piece of red sun gold crystal.
Huo Fengwu left in a hurry. Gao Xuan opened a training room in the cyberspace arena and tested the true power of the Demon-Splitting Arm Blade.
The Demon-Splitting Arm Blade has leapt two grades, and its power has increased by more than ten times.
Compared with the Xuanming Sword that Shui Yunling was wielding at the time, its power is even greater.
More importantly, Shui Yunling was only using the Xuanming Sword, and only used 50% to 60% of its full power.
In Gao Xuan's hands, the Demon-Splitting Arm Blade can exert 120% of its power.
Of course, in terms of real quality, the Demon-Splitting Arm Blade is much worse. After all, it is only a sixth-grade magical weapon. After two transformations with divine crystals, it is still far inferior to high-level magical weapons like the Mysterious Nether Sword.
Gao Xuan made an objective comparison and had to admit that there was still a big gap between the two magical weapons.
However, for him, the Demon-Splitting Arm Blade is undoubtedly more suitable and easier to control.
In his current state, the Demon-Splitting Arm Blade can perform three strikes with full force. For such a high-level magical weapon, one full force strike is enough to determine victory.
If necessary, Gao Xuan felt that he could also overclock the weapon, but that would cause damage to the soul and also cause great damage to the weapon itself.
Since Shui Yunlan dared to lead the investigation team, he must have some ability. He shouldn't be in such a desperate situation.
Gao Xuan made preparations in advance just to prevent any accidents.
Two days later, Gao Xuan and Yuan Youyuan followed Shui Yunhao to the Supervisory Headquarters and met Shui Yunlan.
Shui Yunlan has delicate features, beautiful blue eyes, a gentle voice, and is very kind to others. She is especially polite to Gao Xuan and Yuan Youyuan.
Shui Yunlan's team doesn't have many members, only three men and three women, and they are all relatively young.
These people were of lower rank than Shui Yunlan and were quite respectful to her.
Gao Xuan knew at a glance that this woman was not simple. She was able to control several people of the same age and was very capable.
The trainee investigators this time were Shui Yunhao, Gao Xuan, and Yuan Youyuan. Gao Xuan understood immediately that Shui Yunhao had specially invited them.
With Shui Yunlan's status and position, there was no need for him to please them. They probably saw his ability to lock onto the evil god.
Shui Yunlan and Gao Xuan exchanged a few polite words and introduced each other to the team members.
These formal investigators were all quite curious about Gao Xuan and Yuan Youyuan.
Shui Yunhao is Shui Yunlan's younger brother, so it's reasonable for Shui Yunlan to bring his brother to earn points. But what the hell is it with Gao Xuan and Yuan Youyuan
Just hearing the names of these two people, it is obvious that they are not from the Central Star Region. Especially the name Black Tiger, which is not a formal surname, and should be from the lower class.
In the central star field, there are not many real lower classes.
After the introduction, everyone looked at Gao Xuan with a little more scrutiny.
Especially a man named Jin Hongtao, who looked at Gao Xuan with obvious disdain and disgust.
The noble families are high up, so they naturally have a strong sense of superiority over the lower classes. This has been formed over thousands of years and has become fixed on the children of the noble families.
There are not many children from aristocratic families like Shui Yunlan and Shui Yunhao who can hide their thoughts and attitudes.
Although everyone did not show anything on the spot, they naturally showed a distant attitude towards Gao Xuan and Yuan Youyuan.
Yuan Youyuan was a little indignant about this, but he couldn't say much, so he could only complain to Gao Xuan on the communication channel: "This group of people are really snobbish..."
"All of you noble family members are like this."
"Nonsense, I didn't..."
Although Shui Yunhao couldn't hear the conversation between the two, he could see that Yuan Youyuan looked unhappy. He came over and explained in a low voice: "Everyone at the headquarters is like this. Don't pay attention to them. They are all arrogant, but their abilities are not that good..."
Shui Yunhao smiled and said to Gao Xuan: "They don't know that you are our pillar of strength."
Yuan Youyuan also understood, "You want to hunt down the evil god?"
"There are many evil gods causing chaos on Poseidon. The safest solution is to kill them all."
Shui Yunhao said as a matter of course: "Killing the evil god will make it easier to earn points."
He patted Gao Xuan's shoulder intimately and said, "Since you have strengths in this area, of course you should make use of them."
Gao Xuan smiled without saying anything. The other party used his abilities and he also used the other party's channels. They were just doing business together. It would be better if he made it clear.
Shui Yunlan brought a group of people to the teleportation array in the temple. There were a total of twelve teleportation arrays arranged in a circle.
The largest teleportation array has an area of several hundred thousand square meters. In an emergency, it can transport a large number of supplies and personnel.
Shui Yunlan's group consisted of only ten people, and they were using the smallest teleportation array.
This teleportation array was very busy. Holy light was constantly shining, and people were always coming in and out.
Everyone had made an appointment in advance, and when the time came, the person controlling the teleportation array came over to verify everyone's identity and destination before activating the array.
Holy light shone brightly into the sky, and when it slowly dissipated, everyone had arrived at another holy temple.
The cathedral hall looks quite old, but it remains generally clean and intact.
A group of white-robed holy warriors had been waiting outside. When they saw everyone appear, a woman with short golden hair took the initiative to step forward and saluted: "Welcome, investigators. My name is Haizhen, and I will temporarily take over the position of chief warrior."
Shui Yunlan took a step forward and nodded slightly: "I am Shui Yunlan, a level 10 investigator at the headquarters, and I am fully responsible for this investigation."
Haizhen bowed deeply again: "Hello, Investigator. Everyone in the Sea King Star Temple is looking forward to your arrival..."
Haizhen looks like a middle-aged woman, but her eyes are quite old. She seems to be at least three or four hundred years old.
Gao Xuan felt that Hai Zhen had a bit of Hercules in her brows. This was a strong family gene.
Helen is a special case. She was parasitized by the evil god of enchantment and absorbed two parts of the evil god's divinity, which gave her peerless beauty. She is actually not very similar to the people of Hercules.
However, Haizhen is a really strange name. It sounds completely oriental.
How come, after a thousand years, all the descendants of Hercules changed their surname to Hai
Among the group of holy warriors behind Hai Zhen, one third of them have the facial features of Hercules. This feature is actually very subtle, but it is real.
It can be seen that the Hercules branch is quite influential on Poseidon.
Gao Xuan didn't know the whereabouts of Hercules. Now the outer star regions are all star region local area networks and cannot be connected to other star regions.
The central star field cannot connect to the outer star fields.
No one would mention a figure like Hercules who lived thousands of years ago. It was even more impossible for Gao Xuan to search for him online.
This time when he returned to the Poseidon star region and saw the descendants who were suspected to be Hercules, Gao Xuan was quite moved.
In a thousand years, the world has changed dramatically.
Hai Zhen did not notice the abnormality in Gao Xuan's eyes. She introduced to Shui Yunlan diligently: "Warrior Captain Xiao Yu died in battle, and the seven evil gods are becoming more and more rampant. They have deceived their followers to fight to the death. Now several major cities are in chaos, and large numbers of people are killed every day..."
Shui Yunlan asked: "Why did the evil god suddenly go crazy? You don't know anything?"
This question was very stern. Hai Zhen was silent for a moment and said, "For the past few hundred years, the evil gods of Poseidon have been rampant. According to our investigation, there is a very cunning and powerful evil god hidden behind the many evil gods."
She said to Shui Yunlan: "We have mentioned the details several times in the report..."
Haizhen didn't dare to offend Shui Yunlan, but she couldn't let Shui Yunlan control her. She had to argue when necessary.
Shui Yunlan nodded: "I have read the report. Who is this powerful evil god you are talking about? What is his divine domain? What is his intention? Without these specific information, what is the meaning of this report?"
Haizhen said helplessly: "For hundreds of years, the headquarters has also sent many investigators to investigate, but nothing unusual has been found. This powerful evil god is extremely cunning. As far as we can guess, this evil god likes blood sacrifice very much, so he instigated a chaos among many evil gods.
"For hundreds of years, the shadow of this evil god can be seen in large-scale wars on the planets of the Sea Emperor Star Region. From this point of view, it can be inferred that this evil god's domain may be related to war and death..."
Hai Zhen said confidently: "This time, the warrior leader Xiao Yu should have killed this evil god."
Shui Yunlan nodded. In fact, these reports had already mentioned this information several times, and she already knew this information before she came.
Just from Haizhen's explanation in person, it was clear that the Sea King Star Holy Temple had already reached a consensus on this and believed it firmly.
These are not evident in the report. After all, the report cannot provide any strong evidence.
"The body of the samurai leader is still preserved. Would you like to take a look, Investigator?"
Haizhen asked.
"Let's see."
Although she had read the detailed report, Shui Yunlan still wanted to see the actual situation.
Haizhen dismissed everyone else and left only a beautiful and well-behaved girl, Haiting.
The girl should be Haizhen's junior. She has a sweet voice and a cute smile, which makes her very likable.
Several men from the investigation team looked at Haizhen unscrupulously, like a hungry wolf looking at a lost lamb.
Yuan Youyuan couldn't stand it: "Why are these guys so lustful? This is too disgusting."
She said to Gao Xuan indignantly, "They looked at me the same way just now. What the hell are in these people's heads?"
"They just treat you as low-level playthings, so they act recklessly."
Gao Xuan was very calm. The upper families had such a huge advantage over the lower classes that they would naturally be strong in various ways.
It is normal to treat the bottom layer as a plaything.
He and Yuan Youyuan did not encounter any trouble during the training period, because they had Huo Wuming as their backer. No one dared to act presumptuously.
It was different when they got here. The official investigators didn't know their backgrounds, so their attitude towards them changed significantly.
This was only because of Shui Yunlan's consideration that he showed some restraint.
They would never be polite to the Holy Knights of Poseidon. The Poseidon Temple already had a lot of problems, and the Investigator was even more powerful.
Not to mention that everyone was just looking at her wantonly, even if they did something more excessive, Haizhen would have to endure it.
Gao Xuan even felt that Haizhen deliberately kept Haiting. The sweet and well-behaved Haiting would arouse a man's thoughts even more.
You have to know that Haizhen has lived for hundreds of years, how could she not understand the truth
Haiting also felt the men's presumptuous gazes. Her face turned red and she looked a little embarrassed.
Yuan Youyuan couldn't bear to watch this, so she pulled Haiting's hand and said, "Your name is Haiting, right? My name is Yuan Youyuan."
"Hello."
With Yuan Youyuan holding her hand, Haiting felt more secure. She smiled at Yuan Youyuan with some gratitude.
Jin Hongtao was obviously displeased. He glared at Yuan Youyuan and then looked at Gao Xuan. Although he didn't say anything, his mouth shape clearly said: Boy, don't be presumptuous.
This warning is very strong and even carries a lot of malice.
The other male investigators also had unfriendly expressions, and there was a bit of complexity in the way they looked at Gao Xuan and Yuan Youyuan.
Gao Xuan turned a blind eye. There was no point in arguing with such a person.
Yuan Youyuan glanced at the men coldly without saying anything.
Shui Yunhao noticed that the atmosphere was not right, and he laughed dryly: "Everyone is here on business, business is the most important thing."
He then said to Jin Hongtao: "Brother Tao, they are all my good friends. They are young and full of energy, so don't take them seriously."
Jin Hongtao snorted and took a few colleagues to the other side.
Shui Yunlan and Haizhen were walking in the front. She also noticed some minor frictions among the people behind them, but she didn't care.
The two sides were not on the same side, and there was no need to force them together. As long as Gao Xuan could find the evil god and complete his job, nothing else mattered.
As for Jin Hongtao and his group, they were all children of aristocratic families and their eyes were too high. She couldn't afford to make enemies with them over a trivial matter.
Shui Yunlan pretended not to see it. She and Haizhen walked in front and exchanged a few words with Haizhen from time to time.
When we arrived at the vacuum warehouse, we saw Xiao Yu's body.
The completely naked body exudes the bluish-gray color unique to death. The vacuum and low temperature keep the corpse in the state of the moment of death as much as possible.
Xiao Yu is a tall man, and even when he was lying there one could see that he had a very strong and powerful body before he was born.
This man had hollow and dark eyes, no expression on his face, and no visible scars on his body.
Gao Xuan only took one look and knew that this person's soul was destroyed. In fact, his body still retained strong vitality.
With current technology, it is even possible to restore the body to life. However, that is meaningless.
Haizhen pointed at the body and said, "When the warrior leader found it, he was already dead. There were no scars on his body, not even any signs of fighting. I guess he was killed by the evil god when he met him..."
Speaking of this, Haizhen's face became very serious.
Xiao Yu, as the chief warrior, is a golden belt saint. He grew up in the alien domain and has experienced countless battles to get to this point. He has rich practical experience.
Such a strong man just went out to have a meal with friends and died silently. This also frightened everyone in the Sea King Star Temple.
A group of people stayed in the church and did not dare to go out at will.
Haizhen and his group were waiting for a strong man from headquarters to come and solve the problem, but it was Shui Yunlan who came.
To be honest, Haizhen was very disappointed. Although she was only the executive leader, she was also a gold belt saint.
Hai Zhen could tell at a glance that Shui Yunlan's cultivation level was probably only at the foundation-building stage.
Although the family has a profound foundation, what can Shui Yunlan do with his level of cultivation
Hai Zhen even worried that Shui Yunlan would die here, which would put her in big trouble. At least, she would no longer be able to serve as the chief warrior of the Sea Emperor Star Domain.
Haizhen asked Shui Yunlan to examine the body, also wanting to remind the investigator not to waste time.
The deep blue light in Shui Yunlan's eyes flickered, and through the deep blue magic weapon, she could see through Xiao Yu's body.
Shenlan is a third-grade magical weapon, which she obtained after exhausting all her resources.
The deep blue color completely merged with her eyes, allowing her to see a wider area and not be confused by illusions or spiritual spells.
The most powerful thing about this third-grade magic weapon is that it integrates the powerful computing power of the optical computer and can make analysis and summary in an instant.
It is no exaggeration to say that even if it is a Jindan-level strongman, she can see the weak points of the opponent's source power and calculate the weaknesses of the opponent's fighting style.
Deep Blue also has a powerful property, which is that it can protect the soul and keep her from being attacked by external forces.
Shui Yunlan dared to lead the team here alone because of the deep blue protection. At the critical moment, she could also apply for a powerful artifact to fight.
If the evil god on the opposite side dares to show his head, he will surely die!
The reason why the headquarters sent her here this time is because although she is not a Jindan, her combat power is not inferior to that of a Jindan, and perhaps she can lure out the evil god hiding behind the scenes.
Shui Yunlan examined Xiao Yu's body and didn't say much. She just asked Haizhen to send someone to assist them in the investigation.
Hai Zhen immediately designated Hai Ting, "This child is at the seventh level of foundation building, is very familiar with Poseidon, and has rich combat experience. He is thoughtful and has a strong team spirit."
Hai Ting seemed a little reluctant, but she still stood up and bowed to everyone politely, "Dear investigators, if you have any questions, just come to me. I will do my best to cooperate."
Jin Hongtao and others showed ambiguous smiles and exchanged eye contact, but no one knew what they were saying in private.
Yuan Youyuan was very angry watching from the side. She hated the frivolous attitude of Jin Hongtao and others very much.
This is not only malicious towards women, but also full of arrogance. He completely treats others as playthings.
Gao Xuan held Yuan Youyuan's hand and said, "Don't get excited. The elders didn't say anything."
"I just can't stand this. This old woman is simply selling her daughter for fame and fortune."
Yuan Youyuan was very angry. "An old woman is so shameless for an official position. This is more disgusting than those men."
“That’s the way the world works.”
Gao Xuan said to Yuan Youyuan, "Don't get involved. You're ruining other people's good fortunes."
"Haiting was forced!"
"I don't think so..."
Yuan Youyuan ignored Gao Xuan. She took Haiting's hand and whispered, "If you have any problem, just come to me. I will help you. Don't be afraid!"
Hai Ting nodded obediently: "Thank you, Sister Yuan..."
Shui Yunlan didn't care about these little things. She took everyone to the conference room and asked Haiting to briefly introduce the current situation.
"The seven evil gods are the most powerful ones on Poseidon Star right now. The leader is Chiyan, who is good at controlling fire. This evil god is the most violent and has the strongest power. The next one is Mei Yao, who is the best at charming people. His appearance changes constantly, and he lurks in the crowd. He is the most cunning.
"The other five evil gods are Shadow, Red Snake, Three-Headed Dog, Iron Demon, and Thumb Demon..."
Hai Ting turned on the holographic light screen and opened the map of Poseidon on the screen, which gave a detailed introduction to the activity range of the seven evil gods.
The seven evil gods occupied seven super cities respectively. Among them, the God King City where the temple is located has a powerful evil god named Charm Demon.
But the demon is unpredictable and no one knows where its true form is.
The charm demon can bewitch people's souls and make them become her loyal followers unknowingly.
Among the seven evil gods, the charm demon is the most difficult to deal with. Although the other evil gods are powerful, they can be traced.
As long as you make up your mind, there is always a chance to catch the other person.
After Hai Ting introduced the situation, Shui Yunlan asked everyone: "What do you think?"
Jin Hongtao was the first to say, "The seven evil gods are not of high rank, we just need to kill them one by one."
He emphasized, "Xiao Yu was definitely killed by the evil gods. There is nothing to investigate. By eliminating the seven evil gods, order can be restored to Poseidon."
This method was simple and crude, but easy to implement. Everyone else nodded in agreement.
Shui Yunlan asked Jin Hongtao: "Which evil god should we kill first?"
Jin Hongtao was confident. He pointed to the map on the screen and said, "Golden Wolf City is the most chaotic, and Chi Yan is entrenched there. This evil god has the most violent temper and is the easiest to be fooled. Let's go find him first..."
Regardless of Jin Hongtao's character, he still has basic abilities, and he also has detailed plans for this.
Of course, this plan also had some luck involved. After all, evil gods were very good at hiding their whereabouts, and even if Chi Yan had a violent temper, he might not be fooled.
After listening to Jin Hongtao, Shui Yunlan did not comment. She asked Gao Xuan: "Where do you think we should start?"
Gao Xuan had no objection: "I will follow your instructions."
Shui Yunlan couldn't help but laugh. This guy is really smart. He knows not to make a fuss at this time. He didn't deliberately sing a different tune just because he didn't get along with Jin Hongtao. As expected of someone from the lower class, he knows how to advance and retreat.
She asked: "Can you find the demon?"
Gao Xuan nodded: "It shouldn't be a problem."
Gao Xuan said it lightly, and everyone present was shocked except Yuan Youyuan.
Everyone looked at Gao Xuan in surprise. What he said was too big!
Jin Hongtao couldn't help but sneer. He wanted to see what this lowly person could do...
