It had to be said that Ice Celestial Corey still had some conscience when it came to treating the citizens of Kasi Empire. Otherwise, he wouldn't have limited the self-destruct radius to ten meters. It was precisely because of this that Han Shuo, reminded by Kelly, was spared from the aftershocks of Ice Celestial Corey's death.
Ice Celestial Corey, one of the highest leaders of the Shrine of Ice, was finally cornered and forced to his death by the combined pursuit of Han Shuo and Kelly. His final, suicidal attack before his death did not truly harm Han Shuo and Corey.
The light dissipated. The space that had undergone a temporary change due to the powerful energy returned to normal in the blink of an eye. However, Ice Celestial Corey had forever vanished from the duo's sight.
Han Shuo heaved a sigh of relief. He felt as though a heavy stone hanging in his heart was suddenly thrown into an endless abyss. He felt an indescribable sense of comfort and contentment.
"Dead, he died just like that. Sigh …" Kelly sighed ruefully. His colossal ape body began to shrink little by little.
Experts with demigod existences were characters at the pinnacle of the pyramid on Profound Continent. They were as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns. Although they were enemies, Kelly still felt that it was a pity.
So what if they were demigod existences? Weren't they still unable to escape death?
Looking at Snow Celestial Tiana who had turned into a streak of white light, Han Shuo suggested with a malicious smile, "Kelly, I think we should completely destroy the Shrine of Ice's foundation in one go!"
In the blink of an eye, Kelly, who had returned to his human form, stood shoulder to shoulder with Han Shuo. He looked deeply at Snow Celestial Tiana who was hovering in the air far away, shook his head, and sighed. He stared at Tiana and said, "Back then, your Shrine of Ice had destroyed the foundation of our Druidic Order in Kasi Empire, leaving not a single church for us to preach our doctrine. Even I myself had to leave after being injured by your and Corey's joint attack. I never thought that you would have such a day!"
"The weather in Kasi Empire is frigid. This is the territory bestowed upon us by the Ice Goddess. Naturally, there shouldn't be any heresy in the territory of the Ice Goddess!" Tiana looked at Kelly from afar, her expression cold and indifferent. She did not seem to be greatly affected by Corey's death.
"There's nothing to say to her. Great Sage Kelly, let's do it!" Han Shuo had no interest in the religious dispute between the two. All he wanted was to eradicate his enemy, Tiana.
"It's no use. She's already prepared to leave." Kelly shook his head and said calmly.
Han Shuo stared blankly for a moment, then immediately fixed his gaze on Snow Celestial Tiana in the distance. He saw her body gradually fade, as though she had become a snowflake drifting in the wind. Han Shuo stared blankly at Tiana. He saw that the aura on her body had fused with the elements of water between heaven and earth. He could clearly see her, but he could not sense her aura.
Gradually, Tiana was like a snowflake melting into water, disappearing bit by bit.
He watched helplessly as Tiana disappeared bit by bit. He didn't appear to stop her. He knew that Tiana was standing so far away. If she wanted to leave wholeheartedly, given the compatibility between her soul and the water element, there was no way he could stop her.
It wasn't until Tiana had completely disappeared from Han Shuo's sight that the squad of knights that had followed him arrived. Before these knights could speak, Kelly of the Druidic Order looked at Han Shuo and said, "Let's go. We'll talk somewhere else. On Profound Continent, people like us have a tacit understanding not to meddle in worldly disputes. Don't make things difficult for them. "
Nodding his head, Han Shuo followed behind Kelly, effortlessly avoiding the large squad of knights that had arrived with great difficulty. After wandering for a while, they arrived at a valley with lush vegetation.
The little valley wasn't in Ciro City, but in a medium-sized forest on the outskirts of the city. Upon arriving, Han Shuo discovered that druid Lilian, who had left a step earlier during the great battle, was already waiting here.
Contrary to Han Shuo's expectations, apart from Lilian, Tanai and a familiar face were also standing side by side with her – the great druid Caspian!
"Sage." "Master."
When the two saw Kelly and Han Shuo arrive, they respectively saluted Kelly, though the way they addressed him was a little different.
"Caspian, long time no see!" Han Shuo took the initiative to greet Caspian when he saw him.
Han Shuo understood that the reason the old man had brought Han Shuo here to have a good talk was to discuss the matter of the Druidic Order's Hand of the Goddess. But by now, Han Shuo understood that the Druidic Order was indeed a righteous religion. He wasn't worried that they would set up some sort of trap against him.
Of course, it was rare for an ordinary person to be able to trap someone whose strength had reached Han Shuo's realm.
"Brian, long time no see. To think, to think that you have already reached such heights!" Caspian sighed from the bottom of his heart as he looked at Han Shuo.
When Han Shuo first met Caspian in Valen City a few years ago, although Han Shuo had already shown his brilliance, he was far from being as powerful as he was now. In the short span of a few years, Han Shuo had the strength of a demigod, just like his master. Caspian couldn't help but gasp in admiration at such progress!
"Hehe, that's all because I'm lucky!" Han Shuo laughed.
"Alright, we can finally have a conversation without worries!" Sage Kelly of the Druidic Order smiled faintly. His weather-beaten eyes focused on Han Shuo. He suddenly let out a soft sigh and said helplessly, "Brian, it's all thanks to your help this time. Otherwise, not only would it have been difficult to force Ice Celestial Corey to his death, I'm afraid that I would have suffered quite a bit under the combined might of the two of them."
"Sage, you're too kind. They are also my enemies. There's no need to talk about who helped who when we joined forces. You don't owe me anything!" Han Shuo knew what Kelly wanted to talk to him about, but he still replied courteously.
Sure enough, after Kelly had said those words, he continued, "Logically speaking, you have helped us and obtained the Hand of the Goddess through your own abilities. We really shouldn't have any thoughts of taking it back. However, the Hand of the Goddess is the divine weapon of our Druidic Order. As believers of the Goddess of Nature, it is our duty to take back the Hand of the Goddess. I really don't know what I should do. "
Han Shuo had long anticipated that they had guessed that the Hand of the Goddess was in his hands. Now that things had come to this, Han Shuo wouldn't play dumb. However, he also wouldn't hand the Hand of the Goddess over to them. Looking deeply at Kelly, Han Shuo said, "The item is indeed in my hands. I understand what it means to you, but it's even more important to me. I'm sorry, no matter what, I won't hand it over to you."
Hearing Han Shuo's words, the great druid Caspian opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he shook his head and sighed, not saying any words of persuasion.
In his dealings with Han Shuo, he didn't owe Caspian any favors. On the contrary, it was Caspian who had troubled Han Shuo time and time again. Although the two of them had a small friendship, Caspian didn't think that Han Shuo would change his mind for such a major matter. Therefore, he wanted to say something, but stopped himself.
"Mister Brian, I know that with your identity and status, you definitely wouldn't care about gold coins. Then, the method that I suggested in the auction house earlier will definitely be useless. " Lilian looked at Han Shuo with sparkling eyes and continued, "However, can you tell us how you know the miraculous use of the Hand of the Goddess? What do you want the Hand of the Goddess for? As far as I know, even among the followers of our Druidic Order, not many have seen the Hand of the Goddess, much less know its miraculous use. "
Nodding, sage Kelly of the Druidic Order also stared at Han Shuo, not concealing the curiosity in his heart in the slightest. He said, "That's right. As the most devout follower of the Druidic Order, even I only know a portion of the miraculous use of the Hand of the Goddess. I simply don't have the ability to make it fly away on its own. I really can't figure out how you can do it."
After hearing Kelly's words, Han Shuo immediately understood that Kelly must have been hiding somewhere in Braque's manor and had seen some scenes. No wonder he was so certain that the Hand of the Goddess was in Han Shuo's hands.
After creasing his brows and hesitating for a moment, Han Shuo considered whether or not he should tell them about the Hand of the Goddess and the wood elite zombie. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to explain this matter clearly.
"I know, this is your secret. However, ever since I saw you use the Hand of the Goddess so miraculously, I've been wondering if you're an emissary sent by our Goddess to the human world. Perhaps, you're a member of our Druidic Order, "Kelly said expectantly as he looked at Han Shuo.
Han Shuo laughed involuntarily. He felt that some of the beliefs of these religious members were a little strange. He shook his head and said, "I'm definitely not a follower of your Druidic Order, but I do have some understanding of the Hand of the Goddess that you speak of."
Seeing that the three druids of the Druidic Order were all looking at him expectantly, Han Shuo nodded and slowly told them about his different understanding of the Hand of the Goddess.
"Viride Leaf? What is that? Did I say that it's too outrageous? How is that possible? "Lilian didn't believe what Han Shuo had said at all. She kept shaking her head and muttering in astonishment.
Great druid Caspian also had a face full of disbelief. He looked at Han Shuo with a puzzled expression, but didn't voice any doubts.
Only the great sage Kelly, the leader of the Druidic Order, looked at Han Shuo with a grave expression. He said in a low voice somewhat doubtful, "Can you let me see the owner of the Hand of the Goddess?"
