Ascending the Heavens as an Evil God
Chapter 325: Natural-Born Child of Destiny

"Look out!"

Ah Xiu's senses were sharper than her senior martial sister's. She had already rushed out and shouted a warning almost as soon as the four attackers appeared.

The four people who appeared out of nowhere were faster than Ah Xiu imagined. They were all extraordinarily skilled and practically reached Red Tail in the blink of an eye.

A trace of anxiety entered Ah Xiu’s eyes. Although she was young, she already had a lot of combat experience, so she could tell the four enemies’ general cultivation realms from a glance.

None of them were weaker than her, and they even seemed to have a combination attack. They were clearly assassins specially trained for assassination!

"Most of this world is under the Alliance’s control. Exactly what organization can train assassins like these?!”

Ah Xiu tried her best to chase them, only to find that they’d thrown her far behind them. She couldn’t help feeling endless astonishment.

‘There are four such assassins, while Senior Red Tail doesn’t seem to have reached the Transcendent Realm yet…’

She anxiously looked back, hoping her senior martial sister could quickly help Senior Red Tail out, but all she saw was an unfamiliar face with an icy expression.

"Martial Sister…"

Lu Xiaoqing sneered and said disdainfully, "I thought it would take some effort to find the target, but I didn't expect it to be so easy! Looks like bringing a little girl like you along as a cover was an unnecessary move."

Ah Xiu couldn't help feeling chills all over when she heard her senior martial sister’s unfamiliar tone.

Only then did she realize that these people had been following her, and the reason her senior martial sister brought her along was to have an excuse if they were discovered!

‘She wasn’t looking for the legendary senior at all! She’s clearly looking for Senior Red Tail!’

But Lu Xiaoqing ignored her and just fixed her gaze ahead, where Red Tail was now surrounded.

An unexpected powerhouse who could "shatter space" really did upset their plans, or else they wouldn't have been in such a hurry to attack, but their mission hadn’t completely failed yet.

After all, this was merely a powerful cultivator from a small plane, while their goal was just to assassinate Red Tail. As long as they could kill her, it didn’t matter if all of them died!

However, right as Lu Xiaoqing thought this, she heard a voice from behind her, "Reincarnator?"

It was now Lu Xiaoqing's turn to freeze in shock. She never thought that someone in such a small plane would actually know about reincarnation!

‘Don’t tell me that the so-called powerhouse who can shatter space is also a reincarnator?’

She hurriedly looked back, but it wasn’t the silver robe that greeted her, but four familiar figures—her four companions were actually caught in a giant hand made of shadows and thrown onto the ground.

And only behind them was the expressionless face of the silver-robed man.

"What plane are you guys from?" He asked leisurely.

But Lu Xiaoqing didn't speak. She just stared at the other party with a gloomy expression. In any case, her current body was a reincarnation. Dying here wasn’t anything to fear. Rather, she should take this time to think up countermeasures.

However, Gu Nan had no intention of waiting at all. He gave her a sunny smile, then stepped on the head of a person on the ground, instantly crushing it like a watermelon.

"You…"

The person died on the spot, and the tendril of his soul that reincarnated here vanished simultaneously. But before it dissipated, its little connection with the reincarnator’s main world was keenly captured by Gu Nan.

He followed that connection and quickly locked onto the coordinates on the opposite side, nonchalantly asking, "This is… Major Martial Realm?"

The Myriad Heavens Universe had over a hundred Heaven and Realm Level main worlds, and their coordinates had long been made public.

After tracing the connection back to the opposite side’s coordinates, Gu Nan could immediately tell what plane it was as long as he compared it with the publicly-known coordinates of all large planes.

Martial arts was probably one of the most popular cultivation paths in the Myriad Heavens Universe, and the number of martial artists even surpassed Daoists. Furthermore, there were even two Realm Level large planes solely for martial arts.

In order to distinguish them, people called the first martial arts plane to exist the Major Martial Realm, while the martial arts plane that ascended to Realm Level afterwards was called the Minor Martial Realm.

These people before Gu Nan were clearly reincarnators from Major Martial Realm who came to Crescent Moon World to complete a mission.

Ever since Gu Nan arrived at Star Realm, he’d always been the one reincarnating to other worlds, all the way until he advanced to Tier 4 and was no longer restricted from traveling between planes.

Therefore, Gu Nan had never experienced this strange feeling of running into a reincarnator as a half-native before, so he studied them with great interest.

Lu Xiaoqing, on the other hand, was already frozen.

How could she still not understand after seeing such a scene? This wasn’t some reincarnator; this was clearly a Void Cutter powerhouse!

They just wanted to finish a mission. Who could’ve imagined they’d run into such a bigshot here?

As a reincarnator, Lu Xiaoqing originally shouldn't have been so alarmed, but the deep-rooted fear of Void Cutters made her tremble involuntarily.

"What is the name of your organization?" Gu Nan's voice was still serene.

"We…" Lu Xiaoqing almost wanted to reveal the name of her organization, but her remaining rationality told her that since the other party was a Void Cutter, she absolutely mustn’t stay here any longer!

With a single thought, she’d already destroyed that wisp of her own soul, and her body collapsed softly.

Ah Xiu exclaimed in shock from the side, while Red Tail also walked over briskly.

But Gu Nan wasn’t really surprised. No Prodigious Realm reincarnator was a fool. Being able to read the situation was the simplest of matters for them.

The longer she stayed here, the more likely it was for experts to find clues pointing to her organization, so it was better to return early.

"Unfortunately, this plane is too remote." Red Tail saw this scene and naturally understood what just happened. She shook her head with a sigh. "If we had more of their souls, we might just be able to find where they came from."

Gu Nan, however, shook his head and went back to his long recliner, his eyes staring at the blue sky in thought.

Red Tail didn't know what he was thinking, so she didn't say much more. Instead, she glanced at Ah Xiu and asked with a smile, "Little Sister, are you also here to assassinate me?"

"O-Of course not!" Ah Xiu gave her a look that said are you kidding me while repeatedly waving her hands.

She explained how the entire thing started and constantly stressed that "Martial Sister isn’t a bad person; she must’ve been possessed by a ghost"—in her eyes, perhaps her senior martial sister was just unconscious.

In a sense, her senior martial sister really was possessed by a ghost, except there was no possibility of recovery once the ghost possessed her.

"So you're here to ask your seniors for pointers?" Red Tail stretched out a hand to pinch Ah Xiu's cheek. This girl seemed to possess an inexplicable approachability and warmth that made it hard for people to harbor ill intent towards her.

Ah Xiu hurriedly nodded, staring at Red Tail with big sparkling eyes while involuntarily sneaking a few glances at Gu Nan in passing.

That earlier scene where Gu Nan instantly captured those four still lingered in her heart. She couldn’t even see how the other party did it… ‘As expected of someone in a realm that can shatter space!’

Thus, she saw Red Tail walk up to that silver-robed senior and whisper something. She thought Senior Red Tail was helping her persuade that senior, and her heart was full of hope.

Of course Ah Xiu wouldn’t know that what Red Tail actually said was, "My Lord, this girl should be a natural-born child of destiny from this plane. Should we kill her to make a mist mirror?"
