Ascending the Heavens as an Evil God Chapter 162

Under normal circumstances, Heroic Spirits naturally followed their summoners wherever they went. Many Heroic Spirits weren't even capable of thinking for themselves, so summoners had to continuously control them. They'd fall into confusion as soon as they left the summoner's range.

However, a Heroic Spirit like Gu Nan was different. His behavior wasn't controlled by his summoner, and he might even be able to control his summoner instead.

After all, those with power always had the final say in this world.

Gu Nan's present form didn't inherit all the power of his original body, but it was still on the level of ordinary Dao Lords. Plus, he still had access to all his skills, so it was enough for him to run amok.

He turned into a shadow and sped forward rapidly, soon coming to a corner that was blocked by figures—the two men in black who talked with Lin Duo before.

"Brother, are we really not going to use force? The time Young Master Han gave us is running out…" The other person looked slightly anxious as he asked the bald man.

The bald man, however, was very calm and curled his lips. "Our status is different now," he said. "We work for the Heavenly King Corporation, so how can we muddle along as we did before?"

As he spoke, a sneer appeared on his face. "Don't worry. Master Zhang's Heroic Spirit has been on that girl for seven days. He'll be pulling up the net soon."

"Master Zhang?!” The person next to him exclaimed loudly, then hurriedly covered his mouth, as if that name represented something horrible. He looked very frightened.

The bald man nodded gravely. The next moment, the two men walked around a corner and found a figure blocking their way.

This person wasn't tall. He wore a long gray suit and had no expression on his face.

But the bald man's expression suddenly changed, because he clearly remembered that this person was standing beside Lin Duo earlier.

"Sir, who are you? Lin Duo's business has nothing to do with you. It's best if…"

The bald man suddenly felt a pain in his chest before he finished his sentence. He hurriedly looked down and saw the stranger's hand stabbed into his chest.

The next second, his heart was directly crushed, while Gu Nan slowly withdrew his hand, which wasn't stained with any blood. All the blood was left inside the man's body, making the scene very creepy.

"Where is Master Zhang?" Gu Nan's cold eyes fell on the second person.

Not long ago, this person was just a street thug working under his big brother. When had he ever witnessed such a scene before? His face paled with fear on the spot. "I… I don't know! I really don't know! Big Brother, please don't kill me!"

Gu Nan lifted his foot and kicked. The man's right leg bone instantly made a sickening Crack, snapping into two in the blink of an eye.

The sharp pain from his leg made the man want to scream in agony, but shadows instantly clogged his throat, not allowing him to make any sound.

Gu Nan looked down at him from above. "If you don't know, then die… Think carefully before you speak. You only have one chance."

By the time his vocal cords were finally able to make a sound again, the man was already crying as he repeatedly said, "I know, I know it… Master Zhang met us in a bar. I'll take you there…"

In the evening, in a small bar called "Night Scene", Gu Nan sat alone in a private room with a glass of fruit wine in front of him, which was left untouched.

Moments later, the younger brother in black who claimed to be Ye Dong limped in.

"My Lord, Master Zhang said he'll be here soon." Ye Dong walked up to Gu Nan with a flattering smile and bowed.

Gu Nan just nodded slightly and casually asked, "What is the origin of this Master Zhang?"

_{The latest_epi_sodes are on_the ʟɪɢʜᴛɴᴏᴠᴇʟᴡᴏʀʟᴅ.ᴄᴏᴍ website.}

Gu Nan had already asked about why Ye Dong and his elder brother were looking for Lin Duo, but Ye Dong couldn't give the exact reason. The young master of Heavenly King Corporation wanted to buy something from Lin Duo, but the two brothers were just obeying orders, so they didn't know much about the item.

The reason Gu Nan found them was to resolve Lin Duo's troubles.

After all, this was his summoner. Gu Nan didn't want to go out in search of mission clues in the future, only to be forced back to Star Realm because someone killed his summoner.

And trying to always keep Lin Duo by his side was too unreliable of a method.

Gu Nan didn't actually have many ways to truly protect someone, and his enemies weren't all fools. Once Gu Nan and Lin Duo's relationship was exposed, it wouldn't be difficult to kill Lin Duo.

True to his words, Master Zhang really was here soon.

Just a moment later, someone pushed open the door to the bar room, but Ye Dong's face suddenly changed color when he saw the visitor. He quickly stood up. "Young Master Han…"

Gu Nan looked up. The newcomer was a young man in casual sportswear who looked quite outstanding. His appearance was in line with the Tall, Rich, and Handsome standards.

Young Master Han didn't even spare Ye Dong a glance as he entered. Instead, he smiled at Gu Nan. "This humble one is Han Feng. Gentleman, what's your name?"

Gu Nan didn't answer him and asked, "Where's the person I'm looking for?"

Han Feng didn't mind his rudeness and answered calmly, "Master Zhang didn't dare to show himself in front of someone as powerful as you."

This Heavenly King Corporation's Young Master Han Feng naturally wasn't stupid. The fact that Ye Dong suddenly contacted Master Zhang instead of his older brother was unusual in itself.

Then, after a further investigation of Ye Dong and his brother's movements, they easily found the bald man's corpse, as well as the terrifying aura left by Gu Nan.

"It's most likely a Tier 3 expert…" Master Zhang made such a judgment, which made Han Feng and the others fall silent.

They didn't understand. It was just a single Lin Duo. Why would such a powerhouse step in for her?

However, neither was Han Feng someone who could be frightened away merely by the lingering energy at the scene. He decided to meet the other party personally.

Gu Nan's dangerous gaze fell on Han Feng, who only felt a chill rising on his back, and his trust in Master Zhang's judgment rose a little more.

However, since he dared to show up here, he naturally had his own bargaining chips.

"You have to think carefully!" Han Feng raised his voice, as if trying to give himself courage. "Master Zhang's Heroic Spirit is hiding on Lin Duo. I'm afraid you've also discovered this?"

From the first time Gu Nan saw Lin Duo, he knew that something unclean was clinging to her, but it was different from the species he was familiar with. It turned out to be a Heroic Spirit.

Han Feng deliberately mentioned this point because he hoped that Gu Nan would refrain from shooting the rat for fear of breaking the vase. As long as this person still wanted to save Lin Duo's life, he wouldn't dare to oppose Han Feng. At least, not before meeting Master Zhang.

Sure enough, after he finished this sentence, Gu Nan fell silent, which made a smile appear on Han Feng's face again.

"Why do you want Lin Duo? You might as well say it. We may be able to cooperate…"

As usual, Han Feng grabbed his opponent's lifeline and started negotiating, "As long as we can reach a consensus, Master Zhang will naturally show up."

What he didn't expect, however, was that the next moment, Gu Nan's hand suddenly shot out and twisted his head.

This Young Master Han Feng, who was as strong as an Innate Realm expert, had his head directly twisted 180 degrees. His two eyes stared at Ye Dong behind him, which frightened Ye Dong into screaming.

"If you're dead, then he'll naturally come out," Gu Nan casually dropped Han Feng's body and said with a straight face.
