Scenes of the bustling city kept passing by Gu Nan on the noisy street. Still hidden within a strange black robe, he walked quickly through the crowd.
Neither did Gu Nan intentionally look for trouble—the shadow servant had turned into a lump of shadows, quietly sticking to the ground, unbeknownst to anyone.
As for Gu Nan himself, his dress was a bit eccentric, but a frontline plane like Heavenly Province World saw its fair share of people who dressed oddly or even looked strange.
Gu Nan followed the shadow servant through the streets and alleys and soon came to an isolated corner, but just as he turned into it, a shout came from behind him.
"Halt!"
Gu Nan turned his head and saw two police officers patrolling in plain clothes walking towards him with dark expressions. One of them had a hand on his waist, while the other was holding a cell phone, quickly talking into it.
Heavenly Province World was a very interesting place. Although its technology was advanced, it was metaphysical technology, which was a little different from pure scientific technology.
For example, the pistol that the policeman was about to pull out didn't operate on the principle of gunpowder, but a high energy explosive bullet instead.
And the other person's cell phone was even more different—in fact, this was the first time Gu Nan saw something like a cell phone outside of Star Realm.
It wasn't that people didn't like to use convenient things like cell phones. Rather, most of the planes in the Myriad Heavens Universe weren't planets.
These planes' structures all operated on the flat earth principle, so there were no satellites or base stations. Where would a cell phone get its signal?
Even the cell phones in Heavenly Province World didn't necessarily use the principle of electromagnetic waves, but something more metaphysical.
Gu Nan's gaze swept over the two police officers… Technology wasn't the only interesting thing in Heavenly Province World. Even the people here were interesting.
The two policemen in plain clothes were real plainclothes policemen. They wore identical uniforms with the word "plainclothes" written on them.
"Put your hands up." The plainclothes officer who had his hands at his waist said in a low voice, "We mean no harm, we just need to check your identity. Please cooperate with us, sir."
The next second, Gu Nan cooperated by throwing a punch, and two headless corpses slowly fell down.
"Very shoddy phones." Gu Nan picked up the phone from the corpse and glanced at it, then casually tossed it aside.
This thing wasn't so much a cell phone as a walkie-talkie in the nature of a local area network. It was far less convenient than the instantaneous telepathic messages high-ranking cultivators could send.
After casually dealing with his two tails, Gu Nan looked up again. The shadow servant had stopped outside this courtyard wall, motionless.
So Gu Nan walked up, smashing through the wall without hesitation—although it wasn't all that troublesome to take two extra steps to walk through the door, why would players take the door when they could demolish the wall instead?
The huge commotion Gu Nan made immediately startled the people inside.
A woman was hanging upside-down from a tree in the courtyard. She was covered with blood, and her entire body was tortured beyond recognition.
Her right hand was severed from the joints, and the flesh of her arm was also scraped away, leaving only ghastly white bones; her face was covered with knife cuts, and even half of her scalp had been torn off.
Several men were drinking wine in front of her, looking lively. Just as Gu Nan crashed in, one of them was still bellowing, "Where's the item?!"
"Where's the item?" Gu Nan's question was almost exactly the same as the man's, except his tone was a bit more bland.
No matter how one looked at it, the black-robed Gu Nan didn't look like he was one to be messed with. The four men sitting together exchanged a glance, then simultaneously scattered and fled.
They'd long developed a tacit understanding—they had a tacit understanding when it came to killing the enemy, and even more so when it came to running for their lives.
But this was completely meaningless in front of Gu Nan. Four shadows simultaneously emerged behind them, grabbing them and throwing them into the endless shadows.
Gu Nan could deal with four measly Tier 3 opponents at will.
He leisurely walked up to one of the shadows, and on the ground beside it was an exquisite box.
Gu Nan didn't actually need to ask. The purpose of his inquiry was simply to confirm whether the item was in the four's possession—if not, then surely they wouldn't have fled so decisively.
However, just as Gu Nan was about to pick up the box, a blinding figure suddenly flashed across his eyes and snatched the box away.
"Hm?" Gu Nan raised his eyebrows slightly and turned. He saw a young girl wearing light yellow casual clothes standing to the side. She waved the box in her hand at him.
This young girl looked at most 15 or 16 years old. She definitely fit the description of youthful and beautiful and even had a playful look on her face.
Even more surprising, her cultivation was already at the peak of Void Cutter Realm—the genuine peak; her laws were already close to complete, and she was only a step away from Star Ruler Realm.
But her strength had nothing to do with Gu Nan. He only knew that the woman in front of him stole his item.
So this young girl who gained a reputation for her speed watched as Gu Nan's figure flickered and instantly appeared in front of her. His left hand went to grab the box in her hand, while his right hand swung a fist down towards her abdomen.
The young lady in yellow had a stunned look on her face, but her reaction was also extremely fast, and her body responded simultaneously.
Her waist twisted strangely, and her whole body seemed to twist into a curve, forcibly dodging Gu Nan's punch, but she lost the box in her hand.
Gu Nan casually snatched the box away and also stared at her with some surprise.
At his level, people who could match him in close combat could be counted on one hand, even if they could only withstand one of his punches without dying.
After speed reached the extreme, any moves or techniques all seemed very meaningless.
But to put it bluntly, the only reason this girl could dodge his punch was because he was using a clone, so his cultivation was the same as the other party's. If his main body came, then he most likely wouldn't even need to use the Evil God physique.
"What's wrong with you? I'm also a member of the organization. How can you make a move without even asking a single question?" The young girl was still in shock, and seeing Gu Nan snatch the box back, she immediately exclaimed angrily.
"The organization even recruits Void Cutters?" Gu Nan indifferently swept her a glance and replied disdainfully. With his current realm, of course he could tell whether the other party was the true body or a clone.
And as a joint organization of Star Rulers and gods, it was only logical that there would be no members below Tier 5 in the Heaven-God Alliance.
"I… I am a reserve member!" The young girl glared back, then glanced at Gu Nan again. "Aren't you the same? You also received news that some goods were lost and rushed here to help, right?"
The young lady in yellow certainly couldn't tell Gu Nan's identity as a clone and immediately made up an origin for him in her head.
Of course Gu Nan wouldn't be so bored as to explain things to her. He walked straight to the woman who was hanging upside-down and asked, "Where's the other box?"
This woman was at Prodigious Realm, so she didn't die that easily, but the words that came out of her mouth made Gu Nan and the girl frown.
