Of course, these were all speculations. Although Gu Hang was fairly certain, when it came to his own life, he couldn’t afford to be careless.
In the following period, he was extremely cautious.
…
During the wait, the expected visitors arrived one after another.
The fastest were the Imperial Guards, including a Centurion; then, those at Marshal’s Terrace, or who were supposed to go to Marshal’s Terrace, also arrived.
Galaraldo, Ou Juren, and Supreme Marshal of the Star Realm Army Xue Yongsheng came to this place.
The expressions on their faces were all very grave; the bodies of the five assassins lying on the ground, which became visible after the camouflage failed, were very iconic, and they recognized the situation immediately.
Galaraldo quickly stepped forward, walked up to Gu Hang, and looked around: “Are you okay?”
“No problem, standing here fine, no need to worry too much.”
“That’s good.” Galaraldo sighed in relief, “I was very angry when I heard the news, but the best news is that you’re unharmed.”
Speaking of this, he still couldn’t suppress the anger in his heart and cursed: “Some people have broken the rules, and they will pay the price!”
On the other side, after chatting with the Imperial Guard’s Centurion, Ou Juren also came over, with a gloomy face, saying to Gu Hang: “Galaraldo is right; someone will definitely pay the price.”
Everyone knew whom he was referring to, and Gu Hang just smiled.
The attitudes of Galaraldo and Ou Juren roughly indicated that this situation wasn’t about being abandoned, the most dreadful second possibility was essentially ruled out.
He felt quite relieved.
Gu Hang then turned his gaze towards the other Imperial Guards, his eyes filled with questions.
“Cough cough…” Ou Juren seemed a bit embarrassed, as if the communication with the Centurion of the Imperial Guards was not too smooth.
He had intended to dismiss the Imperial Guards directly, but clearly, the Emperor’s Imperial Guards did not heed him.
Even the High Lord had no effect!
“Gu Hang, you might need to go with this Centurion of the Imperial Guards. This incident is rather significant, and the Imperial Guards need to conduct a thorough investigation; you need to cooperate. However, I assure you, there won’t be any issues. The Psychic Cultivator’s Association will provide you with the Spiritual Energy inspection certificate, and the Supreme Council won’t just stand by.”
“Moreover, going with the Imperial Guards now is also a good choice. There, if someone tries any tricks, it will be even less likely to succeed.”
Gu Hang nodded slightly: “Alright, no problem.”
He was psychologically prepared for this; having revealed his Psychic Power, the Imperial Guards would certainly not just turn a blind eye.
Actually, having Psychic Power exceeding the registered level isn’t a big issue, it isn’t a serious matter. Under normal circumstances, he is only S-level, a legal psychic level, and he had reported A-level because he hadn’t updated his information at the Psychic Cultivator’s Association for a while.
This matter on someone else might be a crime, but not on Gu Hang.
As for breaking the blackstone wristband, that required Alpha-level, and that I, Grand Marshal, am not aware of. Perhaps I was agitated in the life-and-death moment, but now you can check all you want, I definitely don’t have Alpha-level, certainly not to the extent of needing constant surveillance in the black prison.
However, what Gu Hang was most reluctant to face was the issue of the Subspace Rift.
Although he had only opened a small gateway, the Imperial Guards arrived too quickly, and Gu Hang did not have time to deal with the traces.
However, the Imperial Guards are not Psychic Experts. Under the exhibition of regular high-intensity Psychic Power, he hoped they hadn’t detected the lingering presence from Subspace.
In conventional terms, Subspace = Demons.
If implicated, Gu Hang would have much more trouble ahead. The Tribunal might even get involved.
But for now, it seemed alright.
Gu Hang reassured Lacroix and the others, and compliantly followed the Imperial Guards first.
The few people left on the scene included Xue Yongsheng, whose eyes flickered.
He wasn’t guilty, as he truly knew nothing about this event and had not participated in it.
But like everyone else, the mastermind behind this assassination operation was too obvious. He had a good relationship with Norberto, but still did not expect that the old man could bypass the Supreme Council and initiate such a high-quality operation.
These five dead assassins were probably among the elite of Assassin Court, quite valuable.
Norberto was not to be underestimated.
But that Gu Hang, even more capable!
Under such an assassination, he still survived and even managed to kill all five top assassins on the spot.
This capability belonged to top-tier psychics.
Moreover, since Gu Hang did not die, with the assassins’ bodies laid out here, Xue Yongsheng knew by looking at Ou Juren and Galaraldo’s faces, that there would be a storm of strife and bloodshed ahead.
He involuntarily shivered.
He decided in his heart to clearly separate himself from Norberto in the future.
Although their relationship was good, certain tacit agreements existed—like voting with Norberto in the Supreme Council this time. However, they were not deeply tied political allies.
Seeing Norberto in big trouble, Xue Yongsheng decided to distance himself, to avoid any splashback.
After thinking, Xue Yongsheng did not hastily bid farewell but stepped forward to chat with Ou Juren and Galaraldo for a while.
During the conversation, he subtly conveyed a few messages.
Firstly, this matter is unrelated to me; let the one responsible bear the debt, don’t pin it on me.
Secondly, I have no grievances against Gu Hang, see, I even attended his commissioning ceremony. If there is a continuation of the ceremony later, I will still attend, and I will help smooth out some discontent within the Star Realm Army regarding Gu Hang’s promotion to Marshal.
