Ascending the Heavens as an Evil God
chapter-294-30041322

In a secluded cabin on the peak of Indigo Mound Mountain, six extraordinarily beautiful women were sitting around.

It seemed this many people rarely ever gathered inside the cabin, and it felt a bit crowded right now.

More importantly, a senior and a youngster were also sitting beside these six people. The senior was calm and composed, but the youth looked a little impatient.

As if sensing the young man's mood, one of the women spoke up, "The person has already been brought over to Indigo Mound Mountain. Elder Qian and Young Master Jin, please keep calm…"

The young man known as Young Master Jin just gave a cold snort, while the old man laughed. “Then I’ll have to trouble the six elders."

"No no, we don’t dare call it trouble…"

"It’s an honor for our Indigo Mound tribe to work for Elder Qian."

The six women quickly replied. In their eyes, the accompanying Elder Qian seemed more intimidating than the young man, even though he looked very approachable.

……

It was normal for members of the Indigo Mound tribe to fail in their “bets.” No matter whether the person they bet on died or turned against the tribe member, the tribe still wouldn’t punish its people over it.

If they even had scruples about betting, then how would they be able to win big with only a small investment?

The current Starry Ocean Pavilion had already fallen into turmoil, and Yue Jiu's bizarre death was still a mystery. No outsider knew who exactly killed him.

Star Realm’s impression of Gu Nan was still frozen at the moment where he single-handedly slaughtered his way to the Central Region and was ambushed as soon as he arrived, vanishing without a trace after that.

But in the end, he was still a Void Cutter powerhouse. As long as there was no proof of his death, who would take the risk to capture Red Tail?

This was also what perplexed Red Tail, despite much thought.

"Let's go." Su Yufei seemed to suddenly become cold, pushing the dazed Red Tail along. "You'll know when you get up there."

Hearing the hidden meaning in her words, Red Tail nodded slightly, and they walked step by step to the peak of Indigo Mound Mountain.

Of course someone was already waiting for them here. They were Indigo Mound tribe’s six elders, including the senior who had a favorable impression of Red Tail, as well as the elder and youngster.

"Pavilion Lord Qian." Red Tail bowed down in fear and trepidation; even her hands were trembling. It’s just that there wasn’t much panic in her eyes, only some confusion.

Red Tail didn’t recognize that young man, but she was very familiar with the old man.

This was an old man who had a head full of white hair, and even his beard had turned white. Many people had already forgotten his identity, but Red Tail, who grew up hearing stories about him, hadn’t forgotten.

The old man's name was Qian Han. It was a very simple name, but he had an identity that was by no means simple—the previous Pavilion Lord of Starry Ocean Pavilion.

That’s right. Before Yue Jiu and the other two Pavilion Lords, Starry Ocean Pavilion only had one Pavilion Lord—this old man named Qian Han.

Back in those days when his fame had reached its peak and he was just one step away from controlling the entirety of Star Realm, he suddenly handed Starry Ocean Pavilion over to three juniors and left by himself.

Some people claimed he did that because he had already found his advancement path, while others maintained that it was because being invincible was too lonely, so he simply abandoned Starry Ocean Pavilion and traveled to the outside world…

Very few people knew that he actually went to the depths of the starry sky.

……

Meanwhile, deep in the starry sky.

"You really wronged Qian Han by having him do this kind of thing that’s clearly beneath him." There wasn’t much ridicule Red’s eyes, and even her tone was calm, but something about it just made people feel like she was being mocking.

Who was Qian Han?

He was the person who had always stood behind Red, and he was also the person who suddenly betrayed her at the most critical moment.

Red had never been a fool. Starry Ocean Pavilion was just a pretense she threw to the public to deceive her enemies. Her real elite forces were all concentrated in this palace of hers.

But not even she ever imagined that Zuo Zuo, who hadn’t stepped foot in Star Realm for ten thousand years, would have a hidden chess piece called Qian Han.

Thus, she successfully became a loner overnight and was forced to lead the fight against Zuo Zuo alone.

"I didn't ask him to do it." But Zuo Zuo shook his head. "I gave him the path to advancement, and in exchange, he backstabbed your 9,000 elites. That's all."

Zuo Zuo was telling the truth. The relationship between him and Qian Han was nothing more than a business transaction, not a superior-subordinate relationship. Otherwise, Qian Han would’ve also participated in ambushing Gu Nan and snatching Immortal Demon World’s origin back then.

"So what exactly does he want to do?" Before she even finished asking this question, Red’s gaze fell on the young man next to Qian Han. "The golden giant clan?"

……

Qian Han slowly lifted Red Tail up from her kneeling position and smiled. "You need not be polite. This old man just came here to ask my lady about a person’s whereabouts."

"Ah… Who is it?" Red Tail put on a curious expression, but in fact, she knew full well who he was talking about.

Besides him, who else among her acquaintances would catch the attention of the one in front of her?

"Gu Nan." The familiar name traveled into her ears, but it wasn't Qian Han who spoke. Instead, Young Master Jin next to him quickly walked up to her while cutting in.

He grabbed a fistful of Red Tail’s hair, his eyes full of ruthlessness.

"You are his most important subordinate in the Sixth Region. Don't tell me you don't know where he is!"

Red Tail’s eyes revealed a trace of helplessness. She knew that since the young man before her dared to interrupt Elder Qian’s words, he definitely wasn’t someone she could afford to offend, but the problem was…

She truly didn’t know.

"Red Tail, you have to think carefully before speaking," a soft but indifferent voice came from the front.

Of course Red Tail recognized her. Among the six elders, this was the one who didn’t like her.

It's just that the present situation endangered their entire tribe, so she wasn’t even in the mood to gloat over Red Tail’s misfortune. ‘She probably just wants to push me out as a sacrifice to avert disaster.’

Red Tail's eyes passed the other elders again. Their gazes were similarly indifferent, including the elder who always held goodwill towards her.

Red Tail understood this indifference well. Personal feelings were nothing at all when faced with the entire tribe’s continued survival.

"I don't know," so Red Tail shook her head and answered quietly.

If she knew Gu Nan’s whereabouts, perhaps she would’ve sold him out without hesitation, but unfortunately, she really didn't know.

Qian Han shook his head somewhat regretfully, while Young Master Jin smiled grimly. "Very good."

Young Master Jin kicked Red Tail in the knees, immediately forcing her to her knees, while Young Master Jin raised his palm high.

Under the gazes of Red Tail and Indigo Mound tribe’s six elders, Young Master Jin’s body suddenly grew to several times a person’s height, and his body was suffused with a fantastic golden color.

"The golden giant clan…" One of the six elders exclaimed in surprise.

Su Yufei, who had been standing next to them with her head bowed up until now, suddenly looked at Young Master Jin with a certain light in her eyes.

Golden giant—this was one of the otherworldly clans. There were only legends of them in Star Realm; no one had ever seen one before!

Such an existence was precisely the type of powerful figure that the Indigo Mound tribe liked the most.

The mighty power surrounding Young Master Jin’s body was getting heavier and heavier, so crushing that even breathing became difficult. The one who bore the brunt of the pressure was Red Tail.

Of course Red Tail knew the other party was trying to bully her into submission…

‘But I seriously don't know!’

Classmate Red Tail really wanted to cry but had no tears. She felt that she had suffered a calamity that had nothing to do with her.

"Wait,” Qian Han suddenly spoke up at that moment.

"Hmm?" Young Master Jin glanced at him in confusion, his gaze questioning.

With his family background and tyrannical nature, not even Qian Han could completely restrain him.

But Qian Han remained calm and explained, "The one we’re looking for is here."
