When Gu Nan's voice fell, everyone present also seemed to fall silent. Both Symphony and that girl stared at him like theyd seen a ghost.

It was no wonder they were like this; Gu Nan's words were too shocking.

Dumbstruck, the young girl stared at Gu Nan for a while and finally realized that this guy in front of her wasnt actually joking, so she quickly left after throwing down a vicious sentence, "How absurd!"

Symphony smiled somewhat awkwardly, both surprised at this Lords ruthlessness and glad that it was such a person who came to finish this mission.

If the newcomers personality was too gentle, then that little girl would probably be able to easily suppress the newcomer using her identity, after which his mission would lose all chances of success.

"Its not so easy to seal off the floating islands either." Symphony explained with a bitter smile, "After all, we need to ask the islands respective rulers to willingly seal off their own islands"

"Then find someone from other floating islands to do it." Gu Nans expression seemed to say you are so stupid.

"Well kill the powerful figures on those three floating islands, leaving behind prime territory for others to take. Dont tell me not a single other floating island will be tempted?"

Symphony stared blankly again. He finally realized that the one in front of him truly planned to go through with this and wouldnt even hesitate to incite a war in Ghost Sea World.

And from a feasibility perspective, it might actually be possible

Symphony hurriedly shook his head and threw this terrifying thought out of his mind.

Unlike the other party, he didnt believe himself to be someone without any bottom line. To cause tens of thousands of innocent people to be buried alongside the target just to kill one person At the very least, he certainly wouldnt do that unless as a last resort.

However, Gu Nan's icy gaze fell straight onto his face. "Any other issues?"

"This" The cold indifference in Gu Nan's eyes made Symphony feel like an invisible hand had gripped his heart, making it hard to speak.

He knew that the other party would very likely turn against him if he couldnt give a satisfactory answer. Even if the other party couldnt kill him due to Astral Gates rules, the consequences would still be unenjoyable.

A cold sweat broke out on Symphonys forehead, but he quickly responded, "Sealing off all three floating islands is too inefficient and time-consuming We've already grasped some clues on the target, so we might as well try those first."

He spoke at lightning speed and finally managed to persuade Gu Nan a little. Gu Nan gave a nod, signaling for him to continue.

Symphony breathed a small sigh of relief. He was from a major Heaven level plane and had met many Void Cutter cultivators before, so he had some knowledge on the various types of cultivators.

Among Void Cutter powerhouses, some were easygoing and approachable and could even make friends with ordinary people, while others were cold and aloof, showing a complete disregard for human life.

Symphony believed that this person in front of him belonged to the latter category, so he didn't even try to use anything like righteousness to persuade Gu Nan. Instead, he used the word efficiency to persuade him.

Ghost Sea World had innumerable floating islands, and they varied in size.

The large ones were as big as a city in Star Realm, while the small ones were only the size of a few soccer fieldsone could see the edge at a glance.

Gu Nan, along with Symphony and the others, was now waiting for news on a medium-sized floating island named Yantai.

They found Xin Bergs trail on all three floating islands. People had seen Xin Berg appear on all three islands, and there were even people with connections to him.

They didnt dare to inadvertently alert the target before this, but now that Gu Nan was overseeing the mission, they could naturally test the waters.

As long as Xin Berg dared to show his face on this floating island, Gu Nan could kill him in an instant.

While they waited for news, Ying Ge naturally followed Gu Nan, staying by his side. She had little interest in Gu Nan's mission. In contrast, she was more interested in that girl from earlier.

"What's that little girls name?" Ying Ge asked Symphony cheerfully.

"She looks bigger than you," Gu Nan cut in before Symphony even opened his mouth.

"I have lived for tens of thousands"

"She still looks bigger than youI mean chest."

Ying Ge turned her head away with a gloomy expression, viciously glaring at Symphony. This young man felt chills in his heart, so he hurriedly revealed the girls origins.

Actually, it wasnt complicated.

The young girl was called Zhu Qin. She also belonged to Astral Gate, but she wasnt a participant of this mission. Instead, she was a native of Ghost Sea World.

Ghost Sea World was truly a very small plane. Zhu Qin immediately realized that people from Astral Gate had arrived as soon as they entered this world. This was how the two sides came into contact with each other.

This kind of situation wasnt uncommon. After all, Astral Gate had members from every major plane. When someone went to a plane for a mission, sometimes members whose hometowns were from there would also help out.

Of course, they may also have the opposite reaction. Zhu Qin was one such example.

She held a rather uncooperative attitude towards the actions of Symphony and his team. For example, when Symphony once wanted to lightly seal off a certain floating island, she strongly opposed it.

Zhu Qin's opposition wasnt a joke. She had a solid backing.

She herself was just an ordinary Prodigious cultivator, but her identity wasnt simple at allin a simple sentence, she was a princess of Ghost Sea World.

Although Ghost Sea World wasnt big, it also had a government, and it was even a feudal empire.

The current emperor was Zhu Qin's biological father, so she was a veritable princess.

"But being the princess of a tiny trashy place like this wont be much use, will it?" Ying Ge wasnt muddleheaded at all. She knew very well that Zhu Qin's meager status was nothing to an organization like Astral Gate.

Symphony gave a bitter smile. Before he could speak, a person next to him explained, "It's all because she has a good sister!"

This person was the same as Symphony. He was a team member who came to carry out the mission to hunt down Xin Berg and clearly also held a lot of resentment against Zhu Qin's repeated attempts to hinder their mission.

"Her older sister is a Void Cutter cultivator, but shes not a member of Astral Gate," Symphony added. This was the real answer.

Void Cutter cultivator!

During the mission, Astral Gate would shield the members performing the mission from retribution, but what about after the mission?

What if Zhu Qin didnt like one of their team members and insisted on having her older sister teach them a lesson after the mission was over? Then their team really would be caught unprepared.

What's more, Zhu Qin's sister was naturally also born in Ghost Sea World.

If their team stirred things up a little too much here and elicited the dissatisfaction of a Void Cutter cultivator, then things might not necessarily be on their side.

Fortunately, Gu Nan arrived. Only Void Cutter cultivators would be able to not fear retribution from Zhu Qins sister and use all possible methods to hunt down Xin Berg.

"Why doesn't she cooperate?" Gu Nan rubbed his chin. He didnt seem to be asking anyone in particular. Instead, he seemed to be talking to himself, "To protect the environment? Save the world? Doesnt quite seem like it."

After listening to Symphonys explanation, Gu Nan wasnt concerned about Zhu Qin's older sister, but about another problem instead.

"Check Xin Berg's actions over the years and see if he ever met Zhu Qin." Gu Nan turned to Symphony. "Or check for any connection between her older sister and Xin Bergthat must be investigated too."

When Gu Nan said this, his gaze fell to the distance, revealing a bit of coldness.

He had never been afraid to infer others motives with the greatest amount of malice.
