47: Chapter 47 The Brightest Star in the Night Sky

No one expected the moment Sun Ling pulled the trigger.

Fortunately, Fan Ming and his group were quick to react; immediately after Sun Ling gave the order, they moved to disarm everyone from the Security Bureau.

Just as Gu Xiao prepared to seize the weapon from Sun Ling's hand, he suddenly discovered he couldn't move!

Not only that, but Fan Ming and the people from the Jiantian Bureau were all unable to move as well.

They could only stand there, watching helplessly as Sun Ling emptied his ammunition.

Streams of fire tore through the mountain mist, which should have all struck the White Flood Dragon, but the scene that followed made everyone's eyes widen.

Those special bullets engraved with runes stopped halfway, suspended in the air.

A thin curtain of water descended from the mountain peak, weaving together into a transparent net.

The bullets were embedded in the water curtain, the inscriptions on their warheads still glowing, but they couldn't move an inch.

Meanwhile, the mist on the mountain peak dispersed, and that silver-white figure was finally revealed!

The White Flood Dragon was coiled on the highest rock, its silver-white scales shimmering with a cold light under the moonlight. Its massive dragon head hung low, and its pale golden slit pupils looked down at everyone from above.

Its gaze fell upon Sun Ling, seemingly carrying a look of mockery.

The weapon in Sun Ling's hand had run out of ammunition. His finger was frozen on the trigger, and after being watched by Li Xiuyuan, he started pulling the trigger again, but no bullets fired.

Li Xiuyuan looked at him calmly, without making any moves.

Gu Xiao spoke, his voice slightly tight: "You really can't kill anymore."

If he killed Sun Ling in front of everyone now, then Li Xiuyuan would face significant trouble.

Fan Ming also realized this and shouted at the top of his lungs: "We will handle this matter, we certainly will! We will investigate Shen Ruotang's case and the Qian Family's case one by one. We will arrest those who need to be arrested and handle those who need to be handled! You cannot kill any more!"

The mountain peak was silent for a long while; everyone's backs were soaked with cold sweat.

Even Fourth Master Qian Hongda sensed that something was wrong.

The White Flood Dragon's display did not look like a Spirit Rank Rising Beings at all; the pressure it exerted on him was too great!

"I didn't make a move."

A dull, deep voice sounded.

Just then, a whimpering sound arose. Everyone looked at Sun Ling and saw that he had already pulled out the handgun from his waist, but Sun Ling's eyes were filled with fear, and his voice choked: "Save, save me..."

"Sun Ling, what are you doing?!"

"Don't move!"

Fan Ming and Gu Xiao both thought this guy wanted to attack Li Xiuyuan, but Sun Ling made an unexpected move!

He pulled out the handgun, pressed it against his chin, and disengaged the safety.

The two of them immediately realized what was happening and wanted to rush forward to stop him, but the gunshot already echoed through the mountains!

'Bang!'

Blood splattered everywhere. Sun Ling's body fell straight down, twitched a few times, and then went still.

A heavy, murderous atmosphere shrouded the mountain peak.

Gu Xiao looked up at Li Xiuyuan, wanting an explanation, but Li Xiuyuan ignored him completely. The mist on the mountain peak closed back up, swallowing that silver-white figure.

Only those pale golden slit pupils flickered in the mist for a moment before disappearing.

The mountain wind blew down from the heights, dispersing the smell of blood.

"Looking for death." Gu Xiao took out a cigarette, placed it between his lips, and lit it, his voice raspy, his mind in a mess.

Fan Ming looked at the three corpses on the ground and punched the rock beside him. He had clearly come to prevent the tragedy, but he found he could do nothing.

"Fourth Master Qian Hongda, will you take those two bodies back yourself, or should they help you transport them?" Gu Xiao asked with the cigarette in his mouth.

He just wanted this group to get off Yunfeng Mountain immediately; they were idle and had nothing better to do than add to his troubles!

Fourth Master Qian Hongda licked his chapped lips, his heart filled with the relief of having survived. This White Flood Dragon could never be Spirit Rank; it was highly likely to be Desolate Rank.

Only a Desolate Rank Rising Beings could give him such a feeling of despair.

"I will take them back." Fourth Master Qian Hongda walked toward the two corpses entangled together.

Come to think of it, it was a hellish joke; the two men were still clutching each other when they died, allowing Fourth Master Qian Hongda to pick them up easily with one hand now.

Carrying the two corpses, Fourth Master Qian Hongda walked down the mountain. After a few steps, his legs went weak, and he almost knelt to the ground. He leaned against a tree for a while, then continued walking.

Sun Ling's body was taken away by Fan Ming. Those Security Bureau subordinates who followed Sun Ling without authorization also quickly went down the mountain with the people from the Jiantian Bureau, not daring to stay in the mountains for even a moment.

When the mountains fell into silence again, Gu Xiao came to the foot of the mountain, picked up his phone, and called his superior.

After describing the encounter at the scene, the superior on the other end was speechless.

"How can someone be so eager to die?"

"Why the hell did they do that!"

The superior pounded the table on the other end. Gu Xiao kept smoking; he was also very depressed. Why could someone be so eager to die?

But in the end, this problem still had to be solved.

Sun Ling had indeed committed many sins, but the one to judge him should not be Li Xiuyuan; it could only be the laws of the Xia Kingdom.

"This is really troublesome. Next month, there will be an audit and assessment for Rising Beingss. Once they fail the review, they will be detained."

Because there are more and more Rising Beingss in nature now, and they are a mixed bag, many Rising Beingss do not suppress their nature at all and are not very well-behaved in private.

Harassing humans is a minor issue; more serious ones have already caused many deaths.

Furthermore, the Jiantian Bureau has also detected that many Rising Beingss with ancient bloodlines have been active frequently recently, seemingly plotting something.

At this juncture, it is the worst time for trouble to break out.

Originally, Li Xiuyuan had saved some people who accidentally fell into the water a few days ago, which raised his assessment score a bit, but now everything was in vain.

If he fails the review, being detained is a minor issue; if he is determined to have excessive viciousness, it is very likely he will be eliminated!

"Keep an eye on him for this period. I'll go report it. If it really doesn't work, we can only give up. Even though his potential is astonishing, those above will not want a Rising Beings that cannot be controlled."

After hanging up, Gu Xiao let out a long sigh.

...

Fourth Master Qian Hongda, who had already left with the corpses, stopped on a provincial road in the distance.

He took out his phone and called for a car.

While waiting for the car, the corpses were thrown casually on the side of the road, and Fourth Master Qian Hongda let out a long breath.

"Almost got killed. Damn it."

"This should be the first Desolate Rank Rising Beings in the Xia Kingdom, right? It's covered in treasures. What a pity, such a pity."

"Is there any way to skin it and pull its tendons?"

Fourth Master Qian Hongda muttered in his heart.

People are like this. Just a moment ago on the mountain, Fourth Master Qian Hongda was so scared his legs went weak, and he didn't even have the courage to face Li Xiuyuan, but now that he had recovered, he started calculating again.

A Desolate Rank dragon; whether it was the inner core, scales, or tendons and flesh, everything was worth a fortune.

Just as Fourth Master Qian Hongda was pondering what method he could use to deal with Li Xiuyuan, suddenly, a starlight flickered in the sky, attracting Fourth Master Qian Hongda's attention.

"What is that? Such a bright star."

He narrowed his eyes and muttered: "Huh? No, why does it seem like it's flying towards me?"

Realizing this, the hair on Fourth Master Qian Hongda's body stood on end.

He had just turned around to run away, but that tiny golden light had already grazed his ear!

The wind by his ear was extremely cold. Fourth Master Qian Hongda could only see that the tiny golden light seemed to be an ancient coin, but he couldn't see what style it was at all.

His whole body froze in place, and then that head fell from his neck as if it had lost gravity.

The ancient coin cut through the night sky, hung high in the heavens, and returned to being the brightest star in the night sky, flying back to Yunfeng Mountain.
