Inside Zhu Qin's villa, Zhu Wen and Yan Xuexin had completely lost all vitality. They had no way to survive being submerged in Gu Nans power of shadows.

But Zhu Qin, who wasnt much stronger than them, didnt die instantly. Instead, the pendant on her chest protected her.

To block Gu Nan's blow with only a sliver of her willthe other partys identity was self-evident. This woman was Zhu Qin's older sister, Void Cutter Zhu Yue.

It was clear that this Void Cutter cultivator was no ordinary person. Her long straight hair fell down to her waist, and her plain clothes were deathly pale. Even her skin was sickly pale.

If there was a description that fit her best, it would most certainly be the phrase "female ghost."

Zhu Qin, however, was long used to her sister's appearance. When she saw her sister show up, she immediately shouted, "Sister! This is the person! Hes here to find Brother Xin!"

After finishing her sentence, Zhu Qin gave Gu Nan a slightly smug look.

This kind of expression was like two children fighting and one side suddenly becoming confident upon seeing an adult on their side arrive.

But what Zhu Qin didn't expect was that the one in front of her was also an adult, and furthermore, he was precisely here for her family's adult.

Zhu Yue, who resembled a female ghost, stared at Gu Nan cautiously. With her knowledge and experience, it was impossible for her to not figure out the other partys identity after trading blows.

"Your Excellency is?" Zhu Yue's voice also seemed like it floated up through the deep abyss, revealing a cold indifference hidden in her bones.

However, judging from the fact that she was still helping out her hometown and relatives, she was clearly not a completely indifferent and detached person. After all, she just recently entered Void Cutter Realm.

Gu Nan didn't speak. His heart thumped slightly, fully activating the law nullification attribute.

The Zhu Yue that descended here through her younger sisters pendant was nothing more than a clone, but the strange energy fluctuations Gu Nan emanated immediately made her wary.

But her vigilance had absolutely no effect.

After over ten years of cultivation in Immortal Demon World, Gu Nan had long since returned to his peak condition. When facing the clone of a newly-advanced Void Cutter cultivator, his law nullification power was practically unmatched.

Tendrils of ghost Qi started to float up from Zhu Yue's body, but Gu Nan just reached a hand out and made a casual grabbing motion, clawing through all her ghost Qi and even grabbing Zhu Yue's clone.

Gu Nan gripped the neck of Zhu Yues clone with one hand and asked calmly, "Where is Xin Berg?"

Zhu Yue's clone still looked indifferent. After all, this was just a clone. Although she could tell that the other party's strength was far above her own, she was still trying to negotiate with Gu Nan.

In her view, people from Astral Gate were by no means immune to bribes. As long as the benefits outweighed the risks, the other party would make the right choice.

"Your Excellency"

However, Gu Nan blocked all Zhu Yue's words with only one sentence: "I'll kill your entire family if you dont tell me."

Xin Berg was a mixed race. His mother was white, so he was half white.

Perhaps it was this half of his ancestry that made him taller than his peers from an early age, whiter in complexion, and even lighter in pupil color.

At this time, Xin Berg was sitting leisurely in his own home, with a glass of scarlet fruit wine in front of him that he sipped occasionally.

Of course he knew people from Astral Gate were on his tail, and he had long expected this ever since he killed his companions and snatched the celestial water.

"Astral Gate really deserves to be called a colossal organization. This is really troublesome," Xin Berg drank another mouthful of fruit wine while muttering to himself with a slight headache.

Very few people knew that it wasnt the first time Xin Berg had done such a thing.

He makes his fortune by continuously joining major organizations, and when he comes across a suitable mission target, he would suddenly and violently betray the organization and snatch away super valuable resources in passing.

There were actually many people like Xin Berg in the Myriad Heavens Universe, but many of them were also dead nowthis was truly a high-risk career.

However, Xin Berg also had his own reliancethat is, he had a wide network of connections and could always find people willing to help him.

Of course, Xin Berg wasnt stupid enough to ask the same person for help every time. In fact, this was the first time hed ever asked his hometown for help.

"If all goes well, Ill soon be able to step into Void Cutter Realm with the help of the celestial water. When that time comes" Xin Berg was clearly drinking fruit wine, which didnt have a high alcoholic content, but his gaze started turning hazy.

But in the end, he was still someone who wandered on the edge of life and death all year round. Almost the instant his consciousness clouded over, his entire person sobered up, alarm bells ringing in his heart.

To sink me into oblivion so soundlessly, and using such a familiar method too Xin Berg smiled wryly in his heart. When he came back to his senses, he found that all the traps and alarms he placed near the house had been deactivated instantly.

"Miss Yue I didn't expect this." Xin Berg turned to one side.

Four figures were slowly walking over from that side, one of which was precisely Zhu Yue.

Of the four, Xin Berg only recognized two. Besides Zhu Yue and her younger sister Zhu Qin, the other two were a young man in white and a man in a black tailcoat.

To be precise, there were five people, because the young man in white was also holding a little girls hand.

Xin Berg knew very well that these two were probably from Astral Gate.

He clearly expressed all his feelings with the sentence I didnt expect thisto think that Zhu Yue would actually betray him and help Astral Gate. He truly didn't expect this.

Is Astral Gate really this powerful?

Xin Berg didn't have much time to ponder this. He saw the young man in white ask the one beside him, "Is he Xin Berg? Can you confirm it?"

The man in the tailcoat answered respectfully, "His appearance and energy signature both match. Itll be ideal if we can capture him alive and have the organization confirm his identity."

But Xin Berg just sneered.

People from Astral Gate were simply too arrogant. Even Zhu Yue understood that they had to stealthily approach him and launch a sneak attack. Why couldnt these people understand?

Although he didnt have the ability to face a Void Cutter cultivator in a direct confrontation yet, it wasnt impossible to escape from right under that persons nose.

Xin Berg took out a small bottle from somewhere and threw it onto the ground with great force.

The person by Gu Nans side was naturally Symphony. As soon as he saw Xin Berg's move, he immediately turned pale with fright. "Not good, that's the residue from the celestial water!"

Celestial water was an extremely unstable high-energy substance. If it was thrown down like this, a violent explosion would immediately occur Huh?

Under Symphonys stunned gaze, Gu Nan suddenly stepped forward, grabbed the small bottle with one hand, and crushed it.

The celestial water splashed in all directions, but under the absolute isolation of the law nullification power, it reacted like an ordinary potion and slowly dripped onto the ground.

Drip, drip.

The sound of dripping liquid was particularly distinct in this silent situation.

Zhu Qin covered her mouth and tried not to cry out, but her eyes were suffused with pain; Zhu Yue couldn't help shaking her head slightly, as if she felt sorry for Xin Berg.

Xin Berg himself, on the other hand, fell into deep despair.
