Once the matter was settled, the hot-blooded youths with money and connections moved quickly.
Florida's injuries were quite serious, and from the Cairo mercenary band's news, he was still in a coma. Edwin's every move was closely monitored when he arrived in the Valley of Sunshine. He'd stayed in a hotel for the past couple of days and didn't walk around. It looked like he was planning on stabilizing the injury on his back first.
Trunks immediately left the Valley of Sunshine after confirming matters with Han Shuo. He said that he wanted to discuss with his mercenary brothers and settle the matters that needed to be done soon. He also wanted to tell them the good news that Florida had been seriously injured.
Phoebe had received Han Shuo's large sum of wealth and appeared in Tanai Valley of Sunshine over the past couple of days. She used her connections to find a few large merchants to discuss matters of sale, and also continued to help Han Shuo purchase the materials needed to refine the wood and water elite zombies.
Emily stayed in the Dark Mantle stronghold and seemed to be communicating with the higher-ups. It seemed that the senior executives of the Dark Mantle were planning on making a big move against Bob Ascher this time.
Trunks, who was familiar with the matter, was busy setting up the mercenary band. Han Shuo didn't have much to do after the issue of gold coins had been resolved. He used the two days of free time to return to the cemetery of death.
Han Shuo wasn't actually that worried about Edwin's threat. After all, there was a dark dragon in the cemetery of death who could help him. Through communication, Han Shuo knew that if dark dragon Gilbert wanted to recover quickly, he'd need to absorb the cores of some magical creatures in order to recover quickly.
It was because he understood this point and that Han Shuo needed to make use of dark dragon Gilbert's strength that he'd brought the injured Gilbert to hunt some high level magical creatures in the Dark Forest over the past two days.
Seven Windblade Wolves, four Frost Eagles, and one Medusa had been hunted down by the two of them in a short two days. With Han Shuo's current strength and dark dragon Gilbert's assistance, even a high level existence like the Medusa had been killed by the combined efforts of the two of them.
Gilbert had absorbed the energy within the magical beast cores and the Medusa's precious blood. His originally heavily injured body had mostly recovered, and his strength was no longer affected by his injuries.
The cores of the magical beasts had all been absorbed by Gilbert, but the fangs, skin, and flesh were naturally taken off by Han Shuo. He had them all thrown into the warehouse of the cemetery of death.
On the second night, Gilbert stayed in the Cemetery of Death to digest the magical beast cores, while Han Shuo went to the wide and ferocious waterfall near the Cemetery of Death by himself.
The Milky Way poured down like a torrent, carrying with it a violent force that could destroy everything in its path. It was as if it had fallen directly from the Ninth Heaven. In the frigid winter, Han Shuo sat cross-legged on an enormous boulder near the center of the Cemetery of Death with his bare body, using his body to resist the impact of the waterfall.
His naked body was dyed a bright red under the impact of the waterfall. Han Shuo sat there cross-legged, his body fused with the rocks. He was as motionless as a boulder, like a lifeless stone statue.
However, within Han Shuo's body, the magical yuan was circulating rapidly like ten thousand galloping horses. All of his muscles, meridians, and bones were being tempered over and over again wherever the magical yuan passed. The demonic infant throbbed lightly in his lower abdomen. A small person that looked exactly like Han Shuo was emanating a surging life force.
Han Shuo had continuously broken through in this period of time. He'd absorbed Johnny's soul last time, and it was only now that he'd completely digested it. Some messy information chaotically swayed in Han Shuo's mind. All sorts of messy memories were like clouds of smoke, making it hard for one to see clearly.
Han Shuo understood that these messy information were all memories that Chu Canglan had left in his mind. All this time, because Han Shuo's magical yuan hadn't reached the true demon realm, his brain hadn't been fully developed. Therefore, he could only receive bits and pieces of information every time. Most of his memories were still sealed in his mind.
Now that he'd reached the true demon realm and his brain had been fully expanded by magical yuan, Han Shuo's memory, comprehension, and thinking abilities had all been greatly improved. When Han Shuo tried his best to explain himself, the originally blurry and messy memories were quickly torn apart and gradually became clear.
Strange magical yuan techniques, sections of mysterious cultivation incantations, refining methods for all kinds of magical weapons, magical generals, and magical formations were all being rapidly processed in Han Shuo's mind. They were all imprinted in Han Shuo's mind, forever becoming an indelible memory in Han Shuo's mind.
After an unknown period of time, Han Shuo suddenly woke up. Under the impact of the dripping waterfall, his eyes couldn't hide the excitement, pride, and confidence in himself. It was as if he'd been reborn, and his entire being was filled with an unprecedented confidence.
Body Consolidation, Channel Opening, Molded Spirit, True Demon, Bloodthirsty, Separate Demon, Carnal, Nine Changes, and Omen Realm. These nine layers of magical yuan would allow a mortal to become an omnipotent god-like existence. That kind of terrifying power that could split the heavens and the earth apart, when the physical body was strong enough to move mountains and seas, and become an extraordinary existence that was immortal, presented a vast, mysterious, and grand blueprint in front of Han Shuo.
Now that this blueprint had been unlocked, Han Shuo was like a paintbrush that could draw out his vast and limitless future according to the path in his heart. The power to reconstruct the physical body, fly in the sky, become immortal, surpass the cycle of reincarnation, and destroy the heavens and the earth really did exist!
With a thought, the pores of all the muscles in his body expelled waves of murky gray air from his body. The murky air was the impurities of Johnny's soul. After Han Shuo's demon infant had absorbed the origin of the soul, it remained in his body.
With a slight sway of his body, Han Shuo's boulder-like body suddenly flew through the air and landed steadily on a large tree. He put on a dark green warrior's robe and flew straight towards the cemetery of death.
"Eh? Master, you seem to be a bit different than usual!" Gilbert looked at Han Shuo in surprise as soon as he entered the cemetery of death and couldn't help but exclaim.
"Oh, what's different?" Han Shuo looked at Gilbert and smiled faintly.
Shaking his head, Gilbert said, "I can't describe it. His eyes seem to be a bit more mysterious, and his aura is a bit different. Mm, he seems to have become more confident, as if he has the confidence of victory in his grasp after grasping the situation! "
Han Shuo understood that after obtaining all of Chu Cang Ming's memories, he now knew many of the demonic arts like the back of his hand. Even if he didn't rely on Gilbert now, Han Shuo still had a way to deal with Edwin. It was just that it would be a bit more troublesome because he wasn't strong enough.
"Since your injuries have healed, let's leave this place together!"
"That's great! Are you going to take me to do some sneaky things again this time?"
"Don't waste my breath, do what I tell you to do!"
"Master, after you left today, I seem to have seen the soil in that area loosen for a bit!" Gilbert first complained in an aggrieved manner and then suddenly remembered something. He pointed at the place of extreme earth where the earth elite zombie had been refined and said to Han Shuo.
Han Shuo started and turned his head to look at that area. He suddenly discovered that the center had indeed sunk in. The earth yuan qi that had been lingering there had completely disappeared without a trace.
Overjoyed, Han Shuo laughed heartily and said, "Very good, it looks like he's already absorbed all of the earth qi. He'll be able to break out of the ground in a few more days!"
"Humph, it's just a zombie, what's so great about it!" Gilbert cast a disdainful glance at the area and said unhappily.
However, as soon as Gilbert finished speaking, the place where he was standing suddenly collapsed. After a wave of earth quaking and mountain shaking, an enormous gully appeared out of thin air and forcibly clamped down on Gilbert, who was caught off guard. The ruptured gully seemed to be alive as it continued to clamp down. Gilbert's body was flattened and he cursed loudly.
"Alright, alright, let him go!" Han Shuo could feel the earth elite zombie's discontent buried deep in the ground and knew that it must've been the earth elite zombie's doing. He opened his mouth to command.
As Han Shuo's voice sounded, the gully that had been continuously shrinking suddenly parted like a door. Unable to move, Gilbert discovered that all of this earthquake and the collapse of the ground was caused by the earth elite zombie below. He couldn't help but have a face of shock and hastily crawled out when the gully loosened.
"He took form here, cultivated here, and absorbed the earth origin energy. This place is his territory. As long as he is here, he can display several times his original strength. The earth will shake, the ground will shatter, or he can form a cage from the earth to trap you. He can even form an earth dragon to attack you. It's a piece of cake for him.
Remember, don't go against him in his territory in the future. Buried deep underground, he's an invincible existence in this area. If he left this place, he might not be able to control everything as he pleases. But here, any piece of land can be transformed into his weapon! "Han Shuo explained faintly as he looked at Gilbert crawling out of the ravine with a supercilious smile.
The five elemental zombies could greatly increase their own strength in the five places of extreme cultivation. It was unwise for anyone to provoke them in their cultivation area.
The earth elite zombie's response to Gilbert's words immediately affected him made Han Shuo understand that the earth elite zombie was no longer a low level zombie warrior that could only take orders. It looked like he was the same as the Little Skull and had already gained intelligence.
Seeing that Gilbert had come up, the earth elite zombie immediately became much more well-behaved. Han Shuo opened his mouth and said in the direction of the earth elite zombie, "Refine the earth qi well and try to break out of the earth as soon as possible!"
A thought was transmitted into Han Shuo's mind through the connection. The earth elite zombie had obviously heard Han Shuo's words and sent over the meaning of "understood".
"Let's go, let's leave this place first!" Glancing at Gilbert, Han Shuo walked towards the center of the cemetery of death. When he passed by the yin demon cave, Han Shuo discovered that there were only five wraiths left. It looked like it wouldn't be long before the three yin demons would take form.
"Just what's going on with that zombie? How can he have such great strength?" Gilbert couldn't help but ask Han Shuo after they left the earth elite zombie's location and arrived at the transportation matrix at the center of the cemetery of death.
"You wouldn't understand even if I told you. In short, he's different from any zombie warrior you know of. His existence has already changed since he started absorbing the earth qi. Remember, it's best not to provoke him in this cemetery of death. He'll be stronger than you can imagine here! "Han Shuo smiled faintly and instructed Gilbert.
As he spoke, Han Shuo pushed Gilbert into the center of the transportation matrix and activated it. The two returned to the Dark Mantle's secret stronghold in the Valley of Sunshine.
Han Shuo put away the six magic wands when they walked out of a secret room. He lifted a wooden board above his head and the two walked up to a corridor leading to the top.
"Brian, you're finally back!" Emily suddenly called out as soon as they emerged from the secret room.
"Hi beautiful woman, we meet again!" Gilbert greeted Emily with a teasing smile when he came up, causing Emily to roll her eyes.
"What's wrong?" Having obtained all of Chu Canglan's memories, Han Shuo had ample confidence in his future. Han Shuo believed that as long as he worked hard and advanced his demonic cultivation, he would definitely obtain strength that everyone would look up to. It was precisely because of this that Han Shuo didn't pay too much attention to the current difficulties and setbacks. He asked Emily casually.
"Florida has woken up. The Cairo mercenary band has just sent news that Florida has called for a meeting as soon as he's awakened. They're planning on making a move against us at all costs and want us to be careful. Also, Edwin and Belinda seem to have made a trip to the Cairo mercenary band in the past two days. We received this information ourselves and the Cairo mercenary band didn't tell us. "Emily responded quickly.
Nodding to indicate that he understood, Han Shuo frowned slightly and thought for a moment, saying with a smile, "We'll deal with the situation as it comes. If Florida dares come to his death, I'll make sure he'll have to bear the consequences. Don't worry about Edwin for now. I think that no matter how stupid Laureton is, he wouldn't make things difficult for us at this time. We're also the bargaining chips he's using right now. If he wants to deal with us, he'll definitely choose to do so after Florida's death.
According to my estimations, Edwin may be able to obtain some information from the Cairo mercenary band, but Laureton will definitely not agree to work with him against us, nor will he choose to work with Edwin. Don't pay too much attention to this matter. What we need to do now is to defend our current stronghold. "
Emily was stunned for a moment by Han Shuo's words. Emily then looked oddly at Han Shuo, only then discovering that Han Shuo had maintained an aloof expression from beginning to end, as if he didn't care about any danger at all. His eyes were even more profound and mysterious, and his entire presence had changed. It was filled with an indescribable feeling, which surprised Emily a bit.
"What is it, why are you looking at me so strangely?" Han Shuo rubbed his nose and laughed involuntarily when he saw Emily's beautiful eyes staring at him without blinking.
"Brian, has something happened to you in the past two days? Why do I feel like you're different from before?" Emily didn't hide her thoughts and asked directly.
"Yes, Master is indeed a bit different from before. I've noticed it too!" Gilbert couldn't help but raise a fuss at this time as his gaze continuously roamed over Han Shuo's body, seeming to want to find what was different about him.
"Heh heh, nothing much. I've just obtained a large amount of memories in the past two days. These memories have helped me understand many things." Han Shuo had a mysterious smile on his face as he explained to Emily.
Even now, Emily still felt that Han Shuo was incredibly mysterious. Some of the things that had happened to him seemed so miraculous and out of the ordinary. The Little Skull that didn't fear dark magic, the miraculous weapon that could soar above the nine heavens without relying on magic or fighting aura. All of this was beyond her comprehension.
"Forget it, I won't understand even if you explain. I only need to know that there's nothing wrong with you!" Emily shook her head and gave up on pursuing the matter. She suddenly remembered what Han Shuo had said at the end and asked, "Oh right, you said that you want to defend our current stronghold. How do you plan on doing so?"
With a mysterious smile on his face, Han Shuo mused for a moment and spat out two words that were completely foreign to Emily, "Set up the matrix!"
