Ascending the Heavens as an Evil God
chapter-246-30041322

Floral Jasper Star’s nightlife was very lively.

Science and technology didn’t just bring people more convenience in martial arts cultivation, but also the richness of entertainment life, as well as… depravity.

Ren Jixuan was sitting alone in the middle of the red-light district, looking slightly out of place.

He was the grand genius young master of the Ren family who advanced to Prodigious Realm at 23 years of age. If his little sister didn’t forcibly drag him here, why would he come to a place like this?

‘I’ll stay for another half hour, then return home to cultivate.’ Ren Jixuan silently made up his mind, and his indifferent gaze swept through his surroundings.

Most people who would visit this place were the same age as him, but in his mind, Ren Jixuan never considered them his equals.

‘How can these people who have lost themselves in pleasure be qualified to be my equal?’

If one day he entered Void Cutter Realm, then the gap between him and the rest of these people would be the gap between a god and mere humans.

"Are you Ren Jixuan?" A voice asked from behind Ren Jixuan, which made him look back in amazement. He seemed confused that someone would talk to him.

There weren’t many people here who recognized him as Ren Jixuan, and among those, there were even fewer people who dared to come up and talk to him.

Ren Jixuan looked back and saw an ordinary young man.

Seeing that he didn't answer, the young man asked again, "Are you Ren Jixuan? Do you know of the Duanmu family?"

"The Duanmu family." Ren Jixuan's gaze sharpened slightly, and his eyes suddenly became serious.

The Central Region was very prosperous, but even here, Void Cutter cultivators were still existences that transcended the world.

A family or organization that had the backing of a Void Cutter existence was on a completely different level compared to a force that didn’t have one. In other words, a Void Cutter existence itself was enough to support an organization.

And the Duanmu family was a powerful family with two Void Cutter powerhouses.

"Looks like you do know." Perhaps his own reaction fell into the other party’s eyes. The young man clapped his hands happily and asked, "So then, can you take me there?"

Ren Jixuan never imagined that someone would one day ask him to be a guide for them.

"Why did you find me?" Ren Jixuan asked. This person made him feel very strange. Instead of responding positively, he tried to gather more information this way.

What he didn't expect was that the young man actually pulled out another person from the side.

Ren Jixuan didn’t know this man, but he looked vaguely familiar. He seemed to be the boss of some martial arts club and had probably met Ren Jixuan in person once before.

"He didn't know about the Duanmu family, so I asked him to find someone who does." The young man then added, "If the person he found knows, then he’ll be fine. But if the person he found also doesn't know, then I’ll kill him."

That boss of the martial arts club shot Ren Jixuan a helpless smile. Don't ask him why he believed Gu Nan's words—because when he answered that he didn't know, Gu Nan killed his "predecessor" right in front of his eyes.

Ren Jixuan felt his lips twitch slightly. He finally understood what the other party meant.

"You—"

Boom!

Before Ren Jixuan could do anything, a shadow suddenly flashed past and instantly sent him flying far away, knocking down several tables in a row.

People in the nightclub were startled, especially those at the affected tables. They suddenly stood up one by one, glaring at the young man.

This young man was naturally Gu Nan. He was currently using the simplest method to find the Duanmu family’s residence.

"Fuck! If you’re gonna fight, don’t you know to take that outside?!”

"You’re really not afraid of death! Do you know what this place is? You even dare to mess around in Boss Nie’s bar?"

"Boss, a troublemaker’s here!"

The youths who came to the nightclub for excitement mistakenly believed a fight had broken out. So while some glared at them, others were watching the fun.

The legendary Boss Nie came over quickly. Nobody needed to call him over at all. He had already hurriedly walked to this side—he was already sitting at the bar, so of course he came quickly.

Boss Nie was a very sturdy man who wore a thin tank top. One could tell from a glance that he was a formidable fighter.

He didn't see who was sent flying out, so he frowned at Gu Nan. "My friend, this humble one is Nie—"

The next second, a sword slashed past, and his voice came to an abrupt end. His head had already slipped down slowly.

The entire nightclub seemed to instantly fall silent. The clamoring voices stopped immediately, and only the rhythmic music was still playing in the background.

"Ahh!!! Murder!" A girl's scream finally set off the crowd.

The terrified stream of people didn't affect Gu Nan at all. He slowly walked forward and soon arrived at the palace where Ren Jixuan landed, picking up this genius young master with one hand.

"Where is the Duanmu family's residence?" He continued to ask. Of course Ren Jixuan wasn’t dead—Gu Nan wasn't stupid enough to kill the clue with his own hands.

……

Zhou Jingwen quickly entered the small single-story house.

"Senior, the sword you gave me, is it… Senior?!”

The pitch-black dagger in her hand slipped to the ground, making a crisp clang. Zhou Jingwen stared at the empty room in front of her, and her entire person fell into a daze.

‘Senior left… Why did he leave?!’

‘I've only just realized the beauty of power. Why… take it away again like this?!’

Zhou Jingwen hit the wall with a hard punch. Several cracks suddenly appeared on the wall, while blood also spilled out on the back of her hand.

"Why…"

Both her eyes were red. Her heart was extremely unwilling while also containing deep-rooted regret— ‘Senior must’ve left because I collected too little information earlier, and he wasn’t satisfied… Wait!’

"Ying Ge, the Duanmu family…"

……

Underneath the blue robes, there was a corpse with a slightly distorted face—his head was blown off when he died, so even if it had been repaired, it would still look somewhat weird.

Jin Yi and Zi He slowly got up from the front of Lan Po’s funeral hall.

"His destination is Floral Jasper Star." Zi He slowly walked out and said with a low voice, "I went back to the Sixth Region to check, and the time-space passage he chose landed in a very remote location, with only Floral Jasper Star nearby."

"I heard that the Sixth Region is that person’s territory?" Jin Yi’s eyes showed some coldness.

"Let’s not get sidetracked from our main goal." Zi He knew exactly what she was thinking. "What's the point of destroying his mortal organization? If we attack now, it will only expose ourselves."

It was too easy for Void Cutter cultivators to build their own organizations. It was just a matter of how much time it would take. Destroying Heaven and Earth Star would have no effect at all on Gu Nan.

Jin Yi also understood this. Her mind was merely consumed by hatred for a moment. Then she asked with gritted teeth, "Floral Jasper Star? What does he want to go there for?"

"Don’t forget," Zi He explained, "the Duanmu family's father and daughter were among the four who went to the Sixth Region as part of the inspection team."

Jin Yi's eyes suddenly lit up, and she said loudly, "Shinto cultivators won't truly be killed if their true bodies aren’t destroyed. He must want to head to Floral Jasper Star to kill them completely!"

Although they didn’t know what sort of grudge Gu Nan had against the Duanmu family, it didn’t affect their judgment.

With such heavy injuries, he certainly wouldn’t be able to travel through space, so he would have to remain in Star Realm still, and he might likely be on Floral Jasper Star right now!

In all likelihood, that person was still lying dormant and recovering from his injuries, so he wouldn’t dare to look for the Duanmu family’s trouble right now. However, the Duanmu family would never miss such a good opportunity if they knew about it!

Others in Starry Ocean Pavilion might not want to provoke such an opponent, but the Duanmu family had already made an enemy of the other party.

‘If the Duanmu family doesn’t attack Gu Nan when he’s seriously injured, then don’t tell me they’ll wait for him to recover and knock on their door?’

"Let’s move right away!" Jin Yi said quickly, "We'll arrange for people to seal off Floral Jasper Star, then contact the Duanmu family immediately!"
