While Crosius and Han Shuo were conversing, Qunoa, who had been leading Han Shuo, arrived rather anxiously. When Qunoa saw Han Shuo and Crosius standing face to face, with a rather unyielding attitude, he couldn't help but stare blankly for a moment. Soon after, he looked at Crosius with an inquiring gaze, as though seeking his opinion.
More than a dozen level-three Destroyers like Nambrough suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Each and every one of them hovered in midair and surrounded Han Shuo. Among them was an ice-cold, pale old man. He looked at Han Shuo as though he was looking at a dead man. When he realized that Han Shuo was heavily surrounded, he respectfully turned to Crosius and asked, "My Lord, how should we punish this unruly fella?"
Crosius looked at Han Shuo thoughtfully. After muttering to himself for a moment, he waved his hand and said, "You may leave."
The ice-cold, pale old man was stunned when he heard Crosius' words. He had been in War Demon Valley for so long, yet he had never seen anyone who trespassed without leaving behind some limbs as punishment. Now that he saw Crosius being so magnanimous, he couldn't quite get used to it.
"Yes, my Lord!" Although the old man's mind was filled with questions, he didn't open his mouth to ask. He respectfully nodded his head in acknowledgment and led a group of guards who suddenly appeared like shadows, disappearing stealthily.
Crosius gazed deeply at Han Shuo. After the guards disappeared, he shot a glance at Qunoa behind Han Shuo. With a gentle expression, he said, "Qunoa, you may come in as well."
Qunoa smiled faintly. Perhaps it was because both of them took the unyielding path, Qunoa was deeply trusted by Crosius and didn't fear him as much as an ordinary person. After Crosius finished speaking, Qunoa bowed and gestured at Han Shuo, saying, "Please."
Han Shuo did not stand on ceremony. Although he understood that the master of War Demon Valley, Crosius, possessed unparalleled strength, Han Shuo, who had cultivated his demonic arts to the Carnal Realm, was confident that he could escape unscathed. Therefore, he did not hesitate in the slightest. At Qunoa's invitation, he calmly walked into the incomparably spacious room.
Gazing into the distance from this room, one could see the entire War Demon Valley. Although the interior of the room was huge, there were no gorgeous decorations. There was only a rugged table and chairs made of strange stones. After Han Shuo and Qunoa walked in, Crosius pointed to a few empty stone chairs in front of him, indicating for Han Shuo and Qunoa to take a seat.
After Han Shuo and Qunoa sat down, Crosius said to Han Shuo, "Brakyah is one of the six Rakshasas of War Demon Valley. If it were in the past, I wouldn't have questioned you if you killed him in battle. But now that War Demon Valley is at a critical juncture, Brakyah still has use for you. That's why I sent Qunoa over to ask you to be magnanimous. "
"Brakyah and I have no enmity. It's only because of two women. I believe that after this battle, he will know that he should act within his means. " Han Shuo put on a calm smile and chatted with Crosius as if he was an old friend. There wasn't the slightest hint of unfamiliarity.
"No matter. I will warn him so that he will know his place," Crosius said casually. Then, he creased his brows and lowered his head, as though he was talking to himself, and said, "At first, I suspected that you were a spy sent by Venomfang Castle. However, your unruly and unruly behavior just now dispelled my suspicions. If you were really from Venomfang Castle, you wouldn't have met me in such a manner, nor would you have spoken to me like this."
At this point, Crosius raised his head. His deep eyes locked onto Han Shuo's eyes as he said, "Since you aren't from Venomfang Castle, where are you from? Then, where are you from? What brings you to my War Demon Valley? "
Han Shuo put on a faint smile. He looked at Crosius and calmly said, "To be honest, I am indeed from the region of Venomfang Castle. It's just that I didn't come from there. The reason why I came to War Demon Valley this time was because I happened to meet Sylph and Hemanna. I have a good impression of the two of them, so I conveniently rescued the Shero Regiment. I came to War Demon Valley for you. "
"Sylph and Hemanna, if you like them, you can have them. Consider them your reward for bringing the Shero Regiment out of the encirclement." Crosius waved his hand, as though Sylph and Hemanna were goods in his hands. Then, with a somewhat puzzled expression, he asked, "Why have you come to War Demon Valley to look for me?"
"I want to ask if you know anything about the planar guardian of the Abyss realm. I came here from the chaotic spacetime tunnel of Venomfang Castle. That spacetime tunnel has been completely destroyed. I want to use the planar guardian to return to my original plane." Han Shuo knew that there was no need to hide such things from a godly expert like Crosius. In order to avoid arousing suspicions, Han Shuo frankly revealed his true purpose for coming here.
Qunoa, who was wearing a smile on his face, and Crosius, the master of War Demon Valley, who was listening to the conversation between the two, had their expressions change drastically when they heard Han Shuo's words. Qunoa looked at Han Shuo in disbelief and exclaimed in a trembling voice, "What! You came from that chaotic spacetime tunnel? You aren't from the Abyss realm? How is that possible? Are you kidding me? "
Crosius was indeed worthy of being the master of War Demon Valley. Although his expression had changed slightly after hearing Han Shuo's earth-shattering words, his emotions remained relatively stable. However, his pair of abstruse eyes were constantly flashing with bizarre specks of light. This indicated that his mind wasn't as calm as his expression.
Han Shuo forced a smile and shook his head. He spread his hands helplessly and said, "I would like to say that this is a joke, but it really isn't! Besides, this kind of joke isn't funny at all. I really did come to the Abyss realm from another material plane. Moreover, I was betrayed by someone, which is why I couldn't find my way back. The reason I came to War Demon Valley this time is to ask Lord Crosius if he knows anything about planar guardians. As far as I know, generally, material planes with highly intelligent species have planar guardians. A powerful existence like Lord Crosius should be qualified to come into contact with matters of this level, right? "
Surprisingly, Crosius, who had always been calm and unruffled, actually revealed an embarrassed expression. Shortly after, he shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I've never heard about planar guardians."
Han Shuo was stunned. He carefully observed Crosius' expression and confirmed that Crosius really didn't know about the existence of planar guardians. This made Han Shuo feel an irrepressible sense of dejection. He couldn't help but shake his head and let out a sigh. Very dispiritedly, he said, "How could this be?"
"You don't have to be discouraged. If, as you said, every material plane with highly intelligent species has a planar guardian, then the Abyss realm must have one as well!" Crosius said in a somewhat reverent manner when he saw Han Shuo looking at him with a burning gaze. "I don't know about planar guardians, perhaps because I'm not qualified to know. As long as planar guardians exist in the Abyss realm, I believe Lord Manticole will definitely know about it."
Han Shuo's expression jolted when he heard those words. He thought to himself that Crosius was right. There were a total of five Demon Kings in the Abyss realm. If planar guardians really existed in the Abyss realm, then there was no way that the Demon Kings would not know about it. The five Demon Kings of the Abyss had their own territories and cities. As long as Han Shuo could find them, it wouldn't be difficult to find out about it.
The problem was, not only did the five Demon Kings of the Abyss possess true divine powers, but they were also true gods in the Abyss realm. Did an unknown character like Han Shuo have the qualifications to receive the summons of the five Demon Kings of the Abyss?
Just the master of War Demon Valley before him, Crosius, possessed the strength of a true god. Han Shuo dared not imagine just how powerful Manticole, as the master who created them, must be. Against this Crosius, Han Shuo was confident that he could escape unscathed. But if he were to encounter that Demon King of the Abyss, Han Shuo might not even be able to escape!
Han Shuo believed that once he reached the next realm in demonic arts, he would definitely possess even greater strength. However, before he made the breakthrough, he must not be killed by the Demon Kings of the Abyss. Therefore, after hearing Crosius' words, while Han Shuo was pleasantly surprised, he was also somewhat worried.
"Don't worry. You can stay in War Demon Valley for the time being as a visiting advisor of mine. After I have dealt with this crisis in War Demon Valley, I will report your matter to Lord Manticole. When the time comes, perhaps Lord Manticole will lend you a hand, "Crosius suggested as he looked at Han Shuo.
Han Shuo creased his brows. He understood that it was a pretty good idea. However, Crosius obviously wouldn't be so selfless in helping him. Therefore, Han Shuo was in no hurry to agree to it. He asked again, "What are your conditions?"
"As I have said, you will be a visiting advisor of War Demon Valley. Although you are not a member of War Demon Valley, when we encounter a powerful foe, you are obligated to assist us in battle. That is why you are a visiting advisor! " Crosius explained. His eyes shone with some kind of hidden glint. No one knew what he was thinking.
Once the situation turns bad, I can leave without any restraints. I won't stay here and fight a bitter battle. Han Shuo thought to himself. Soon after, he put on a faint smile and said, "Alright then, I will stay in War Demon Valley as a visiting advisor for a period of time."
"Good, then we are on the same side. Don't worry, after this matter is over, I will help you, "Crosius guaranteed. His face once again revealed a somewhat awkward smile.
Looking at Crosius' appearance, Han Shuo was certain that the beautiful young lady he met previously must have been the child of Crosius and a woman from another clan. The two of them, father and daughter, did not bear much resemblance.
