For the Master of Blood, this is its instinct, its nature.

For it, there is no concept of good and evil.

Good and evil are human values, basic rules for humans to maintain social order and the inheritance of the species.

For a powerful deity from negative space, these have no meaning.

The simplest example is how the human concept of good and evil means nothing to beasts.

The Master of Blood has high intelligence; it is not a beast, but it is billions of times more dangerous than a beast.

Gao Xuan swears to destroy the Blood God Association, not only for personal revenge but to eradicate the greatest cancer in human society.

Since Lan Chang'an is associated with the Blood God Association and possesses the Divine Power of the God of Blood, such a person must die.

The God of Blood is not generous and certainly doesn't grant Divine Power to people for no reason.

To gain the favor of the God of Blood, one must perform numerous blood sacrifices, and they must be extremely evil and cruel ones.

Maximum destruction of order, life, and all that is beautiful; the more and harsher the destruction, the more the Master of Blood would like it.

Just based on the biochemical battle armor on Lan Chang'an, which is endowed with Divine Power, he must have sacrificed at least hundreds of thousands of people.

Gao Xuan thought of the drunken Lan Tiancheng. This guy is so dejected, probably realizing the good deeds his father has done. He simply cannot accept it and is powerless to resist, thus only despair and depression remain.

Seeing Lan Chang'an's biochemical battle armor, Gao Xuan deduced many things.

Mainly because he is too familiar with the Master of Blood. In the entire cosmos, there are probably not many humans more familiar with the Master of Blood than him.

"Honestly, your armor is really ugly."

Gao Xuan didn't draw his sword. Although the opponent deserved death, it was not worth using his current status for it.

He had valid reasons for killing Lan Changkong and Lan Guangheng. Such a reason was not applicable for killing Lan Chang'an.

This is the patriarch of the Lan Family, the most powerful person on Taurus. Killing him directly would definitely cause the other noble families to overturn the heavens.

Although Lan Changkong and the others acted overbearingly, they actually required a nominal reason for action. This is the rule.

Gao Xuan's counterattacks were similar. His actions were ruthless, but he did not cross the line.

The delicate balance in this is like walking a tightrope. While it looks dangerous, for the performer, it is a bright path.

Gao Xuan, with his two lifetimes of experience, can always grasp this delicate balance. Therefore, even if he does something excessive, he won't capsize.

Lan Chang'an, however, didn't quite trust Gao Xuan, finding it no surprise that the other, just a nineteen-year-old boy, might suddenly erupt in violence.

He watched Gao Xuan warily, while the two Silver Sword Heroes beside him also armed themselves with biochemical battle armors, gripping their swords and staring at Gao Xuan.

At the slightest movement from Gao Xuan, the three of them would launch a thunderous attack without hesitation.

Gao Xuan remained unafraid, smiling as he stood there, casually chatting with Lan Chang'an.

"Don't be nervous, if you draw your sword first, I won't be able to control myself. If you die then, it would be hard for me to explain..."

"Gao Xuan!"

Xiao Ting and Xiao Wan descended rapidly from the sky, both armored in biochemical battle armors. Their nervous expressions were visible even through the semi-transparent face armor.

Gao Xuan waved his hand: "Sisters, you've come. Someone's bullying me. No, someone wants to kill me."

Gao Xuan's immediate complaint left Xiao Wan and Xiao Ting speechless.

From above, they clearly saw the bodies of the Lan Family people on the ground.

Lan Chang'an and his two experts were pressured by Gao Xuan to arm themselves and prepare for battle at any moment.

Given these circumstances, Gao Xuan's claim that someone was bullying him or trying to kill him was hardly convincing.

Xiao Ting bowed slightly to Lan Chang'an: "Uncle Lan, you're here too."

Lan Chang'an, finally relieved, sternly said to Xiao Ting: "Your Xiao Family is imposing indeed. Does it intend to exterminate us Lan Family?"

Xiao Ting's face changed dramatically, and she quickly explained softly: "There must be some misunderstanding here."

"No misunderstanding."

Lan Chang'an insisted forcefully: "If you don't hand over Gao Xuan today, this won't be over."

Xiao Ting was full of difficulty; she certainly couldn't hand Gao Xuan over. But with so many dead, how should this be resolved?

There was no choice but to bring Xiao Cheng.

Within a minute, Xiao Cheng arrived. He was already in the island and sensed the intense Source Power fluctuations. He just didn't know it involved Gao Xuan.

By seniority, Lan Chang'an and Xiao Cheng were of the same generation. But Lan Chang'an was about a hundred years older and the patriarch of the Lan Family, ranking much higher than Xiao Cheng.

Facing Xiao Cheng, Lan Chang'an was unceremonious, immediately cursing and demanding that Xiao Cheng hand over Gao Xuan for him to deal with.

Xiao Cheng, respectful in demeanor, simply claimed the matter was still under investigation, promising Lan Chang'an he would ensure an explanation once it's clear.

Unable to force the issue, Lan Chang'an left angrily.

Once Lan Chang'an left, Xiao Cheng finally approached Gao Xuan, his expression serious as he asked, "Gao Xuan, what exactly happened?"

The matter has escalated significantly. Without a reasonable explanation, he could not protect Gao Xuan. Even with one, it would still be difficult to handle.

The dead were Lan Changkong, the Minister of Security, the pillar of the Lan Family, and a renowned figure on Taurus!

It's a big problem!

Gao Xuan said to Xiao Ting and Xiao Wan, "I need to talk with Uncle Xiao alone."

The two sisters were somewhat confused, but they had no choice but to distance themselves a bit. They watched Gao Xuan tensely, afraid he might do something rash again.

However, Xiao Cheng trusted Gao Xuan. He believed that Gao Xuan was inherently stable, not as flamboyant as he seemed.

Gao Xuan nodded and said, "Uncle Xiao, don't be surprised by what I say."

Xiao Cheng couldn't help but smile, "Don't have any concerns, just speak."

"Lan Chang'an is a follower of the Master of Blood."

One sentence from Gao Xuan left Xiao Cheng unable to smile. He frowned, "What evidence do you have?"

The Blood God Association is a cult strictly forbidden by the Alliance. Over the years, it has spread in the Twelve Star Domain, severely disrupting social order and balance.

The Xiao Family detests it and has mobilized military forces over the years to strongly combat the Blood God Association. This has strained relations with some noble families.

The reasons are complex, but the most direct cause is the Blood God Association.

If Lan Chang'an is a follower, it would be troublesome.

Regardless of the legitimacy of Gao Xuan's actions this time, Lan Chang'an using this as a reason to stir trouble would severely impact the Xiao Family.

Gao Xuan said, "Uncle Xiao, I have a proposal that can solve all problems once and for all."

"Oh?" Xiao Cheng was a bit puzzled, unsure of what good idea Gao Xuan had.

Gao Xuan calmly said, "We immediately raid Lan Chang'an, search his house for evidence. Then publicize the evidence of his worship of the Evil God..."

Xiao Cheng stared dumbfounded at Gao Xuan, his mouth unknowingly wide open.
