Carmelita pulled Han Shuo and walked out of the Third Corps. As soon as they stepped outside, Han Shuo saw an enormous airship hovering in the sky. On it stood a group of a few dozen people. All of them were wearing the divine guard uniforms of the House of Sainte and all of them possessed midgods strength.
Without giving Han Shuo a chance to speak, Carmelita pulled Han Shuo into the airship. As soon as the two boarded the airship, Carmelita ordered the divine guards of the House of Sainte respectfully, "Fill up the energy crystals. Let's go!"
Airships were a commonly used means of transportation on Elysium. They were large-scale flying tools that were created using Grand Metallurgy and were powered by energy crystals. The airship was a hundred meters long and had soft cushions on it. The divine guards of the House of Sainte were sitting on it.
"My Lady, who is this youngster?" asked a plump, one-eyed woman without eyebrows as she sized up Han Shuo in a strange manner.
"Erebus isn't in the Third Corps. I heard that he went after Brovst. He must have taken his two subordinates who are adept at tracking," Carmelita said angrily as she glared at Han Shuo with her triangular eyes. She glared at Han Shuo with her triangular eyes and said, "This fella is called Bryan. He comes from a low-level material plane. I heard from Donna that he is very observant and has extremely keen judgment and insight. Donna isn't the kind of person to speak without thinking. Her words are highly credible. Since we can't borrow people from Erebus, we can only use this youngster to make up the numbers. I hope that Donna's evaluation of him is true. "
"This, this …" The one-eyed plump woman stared blankly for a moment. She anxiously tried to persuade Carmelita to give up on Han Shuo.
"What do you mean 'this'? It doesn't make a difference whether he's here or not. Do you really think that we can't find those people who sneaked into the City of Shadows?" Carmelita said impatiently as she glared at the plump woman.
She had accumulated too much prestige in the House of Sainte. Although the plump woman was very displeased, she did not dare to say anything. She merely sighed and looked at Han Shuo suspiciously.
"Take a break. I need you to help me find someone. I will inform you when we arrive. Don't worry, I still have some friendship with Donna. I won't do anything to you. " Carmelita waved her hand and walked to the front of the flying bats by herself. She arrived at her designated spot and silently sat down.
Han Shuo was stunned. He looked at the dozen or so divine guards of the House of Sainte around him who wore cold and stern expressions, and then at the fat woman who wore an unwilling face. Without saying a word, he sat down on the airship.
Elysium was boundless. Even a small mountain range was the size of the Lancelot Empire. Here, even a highgod's divine soul couldn't cover too far, especially when someone was carefully concealing their presence. It would be even more difficult to detect them.
Han Shuo reckoned that Carmelita and her party were searching for someone. She needed a special talent who could use the terrain and some minute clues to determine the situation. That was why she went to the Third Corps to ask Erebus for help. Unfortunately, Erebus wasn't around. Therefore, she decided to try her best and drag Han Shuo along. Han Shuo pondered for a moment and figured out the ins and outs of the matter.
Everyone on the airship was cultivating in silence. Han Shuo, who was used to solitude and solitude, didn't find it boring. He secretly observed the cultivation state of those powerful midgods, searching for something that he could learn from.
Time flew by. Half a month passed in the blink of an eye. One day, Han Shuo suddenly noticed that the airship's speed had abruptly dropped. Han Shuo lowered his head and discovered that the airship had arrived at a mountain range that was shrouded in multicolored miasma. The miasma carried a sour and rancid odor. It should contain toxins. Gradually, the airship stopped above the mountain range.
Carmelita, who had been cultivating in silence, finally stood up. She lowered her head and looked at the mountain range that was shrouded in miasma. She softly cried out, "Alright, we have finally arrived at the Miasma Cloud Mountain Range. Everyone, get ready and disembark from the airship. According to our intelligence, those guys are in the Miasma Cloud Mountain Range. Be careful. The peculiar miasma in the Miasma Cloud Mountain Range is very annoying. Not only does it carry all kinds of toxins, it can also reduce the perception of your divine soul."
"Don't worry, Miss, they are well prepared!" The plump woman put on a faint smile. She took out an exquisite medicine bottle and poured out some of the liquid to apply on her body. The liquid formed a faint membrane that completely covered her plump body.
The divine guards on the airship followed suit. Every one of them had a faint membrane formed on their body under the effect of the medicine. Carmelita was the only one who didn't do the same. Her body naturally formed a destructive force field that was hard to see with the naked eye. It created layers of energy waves that prevented any gaseous substance from approaching her body.
"Give Brian a bottle. Don't let him fall to the miasma before he can even take a few steps," Carmelita took the lead and flew towards the Miasma Cloud Mountain Range. Carmelita was the first to descend towards the Miasma Cloud Mountain Range. She only remembered Han Shuo when she was in midair.
After Carmelita's purple figure dived into the miasma, the plump woman unwillingly tossed a medicine bottle to Han Shuo and said, "Just apply the medicine on your body. This bottle of medicine is worth ten black crystal coins. You are really lucky."
"Many thanks." Han Shuo smiled faintly and opened his hand. The medicine bottle flying towards him was sucked into his palm. He poured some of the medicine and smeared it on for a while. A very faint layer of thin film also appeared on his body, forming a special boundary that enveloped his body.
Even without using the Invincible Omen Body, Han Shuo had no fear of the miasma's invasion. Having cultivated his demonic body to such a level, he could seal off all the pores on his body with a single thought. The miasma couldn't enter his body at all. Even if Han Shuo were to take a deep breath, he could expel the miasma through his pores. The reason why he still used that bottle of medicine was because he didn't want to attract the plump woman's attention.
"I don't know why the Miss would bring a lowgod like you here. In any case, we don't care whether a burden like you lives or dies. If you encounter any danger, you better run as far as you can. Don't expect us to pay attention to you!" The plump woman grumbled and was the second to descend towards the Miasma Cloud Mountain Range. She cultivated in the energy of darkness and possessed late-stage midgod strength. It was only natural for her to look down on a puny lowgod like Han Shuo.
The divine guards of the House of Sainte followed after Carmelita and the plump woman as they descended towards the Miasma Cloud Mountain Range. Soon, under the control of one of the divine guards, the airship gradually shrank.
Han Shuo let out a soft laugh. He was rather interested in the situation in the Miasma Cloud Mountain Range. Before the divine guard could recall the airship, Han Shuo also descended towards the Miasma Cloud Mountain Range. Han Shuo discovered that the divine guards were closely following behind Carmelita. Each and every one of them wore vigilant expressions as they cautiously surveyed their surroundings.
As the miasma was everywhere, visibility was limited. No matter how good one's eyesight was, they could only see within a hundred meters of themselves. Any further than that would be very difficult to see. Han Shuo had cultivated in demonic arts for many years but he could only see within three hundred meters of himself. Any further than that would be just as blurry and indistinct.
"Youngster, now is the time for you to come in handy. Can you find any traces of those people?" the plump woman shot a cold glance at Han Shuo. She did not seem to trust Han Shuo at all.
Han Shuo shook his head indifferently and replied, "There are no traces of humans in the vicinity. By the way, who are those people you are looking for? What energy do they cultivate? What are their characteristics? I need to know the details, "Han Shuo, too, looked at the plump woman and asked the leader of the party, Carmelita.
"They are people from the Life Dominion. They are our mortal enemies. According to the unwritten rules, anyone who cultivates in the edict of life or the energy of light must be killed without mercy once they are discovered in our Darkness Dominion. They must be harboring unspeakable secrets for daring to come to our City of Shadows' territory. We need to figure out their motives and kill them all. Otherwise, if the other cities in the Darkness Dominion were to find out, they would definitely mock our City of Shadows for being incompetent! "Carmelita explained to Han Shuo fiercely.
The two parties were mortal enemies. Without any special reason, the other party would not dare to risk being killed by coming to the Darkness Dominion. It was no wonder that Carmelita and her party would muster such a large force to hunt down those cultivators of the edict of life.
After learning their origins, Han Shuo felt a little more confident. Those who cultivated in the edict of life had a marvelous connection with nature. Once they entered a mountain range filled with ancient trees and a large number of plants, they would be the most difficult group to locate. It was no wonder that Carmelita wanted to borrow them from Erebus.
Those who cultivated in the edict of life were not only adept at concealing their auras with the help of the natural environment, but they would also not destroy the natural environment. As such, they would leave very few traces as they moved about in the mountain range. On top of that, the mountain range was shrouded in miasma. Even if Han Shuo wanted to locate them, it would not be an easy task.
Before descending, for fear that Carmelita would discover him, Han Shuo had released a dozen demon generals through Cauldron Spirit. At this moment, those demon generals were constantly spreading out in all directions, carefully observing every abnormal spot in the mountain range.
Suddenly, one of the demon generals, Han Shuo, discovered traces of a battle between magical beasts about thirty miles to his right. There were a few broken trees that had been reconnected using some sort of energy. It was obvious that they had been tampered with by humans. Who else but cultivators of the edict of life would be willing to waste time on these plants?
"Follow me," shouted Han Shuo and led the way in that direction. After walking for thirty meters, Han Shuo suddenly halted. He turned around to look at the dumbfounded divine guards, then at Carmelita who was wearing a puzzled face. He smilingly asked, "What, you don't believe me?"
"Erm … Did you really discover something? That's impossible. Even Erebus' two subordinates couldn't so easily discover traces of someone cultivating in the edict of life in the mountain range. How could you? "Carmelita's triangular eyes were glistening as she cried out in doubt.
"My Lady, this youngster must be deliberately mystifying us. He is just a puny lowgod. How could he possibly discover traces of them so quickly?" the plump woman clearly didn't believe Han Shuo at all and straightforwardly expressed her doubts.
"If tracking is related to one's realm, Miss Carmelita wouldn't have brought me here. Don't try to act smart, alright?" Han Shuo put on a carefree smile and didn't pay any attention to the plump woman.
"Brat, how dare you speak to me in such a manner! Do you believe that I can make you disappear from this place forever with just a flick of my finger?! "the plump woman shouted furiously.
"Shut up, Karina!" Carmelita reprimanded in displeasure. Then, she bunched her sparse brows and asked Han Shuo suspiciously, "Did you really find traces?"
"It's only a distance of fifteen kilometers. It won't take long to walk there. If you don't believe me, just follow me and take a look." Han Shuo shrugged and didn't say anything else. He took the lead and headed in that direction.
When Han Shuo was about to disappear from their sight, Carmelita softly shouted, "Let's go and take a look. I don't think this fellow has the guts to deceive me! If he really dares to do so, even if he's Donna's friend, I'll make him pay! "
After she said that, the crowd quickly followed behind Han Shuo. The plump woman, Karina, stared hatefully at Han Shuo's back and was secretly sulking.
Soon, they arrived at the area behind Han Shuo. At this moment, Han Shuo was squatting there, pretending to observe something. When Carmelita came to his side, he calmly stood up and pointed at the ancient trees that had been reconnected. He said, "Other than those who cultivate the energy of life, I can't think of anyone who would be so friendly to these trees. What do you guys think?"
Carmelita only took a glance at the trees before she immediately cried out in surprise and said, "There are indeed traces of energy of life. That's right, those fellows must have been here!"
The truth was right in front of them. Karina, who originally intended to embarrass Han Shuo, also covered her mouth and exclaimed softly. When she looked at Han Shuo again, her gaze was already different. In front of Carmelita, Karina hesitated for a moment before she reluctantly said, "I'm sorry, I was indeed narrow-minded. It seems like you really aren't a burden!"
This woman was straightforward with her words. Although she never gave face to others, she had the courage to admit her mistakes. This was a rare trait. Han Shuo observed for a moment and discovered that Karina seemed to be sincerely apologizing. He knew that this plump woman wasn't a bad person. He nodded in his mind and said, "Forget it, I won't take it to heart."
Those divine guards from the House of Sainte who came with Carmelita also clicked their tongues in amazement. Their gazes when they looked at Han Shuo were clearly filled with respect.
"Youngster, you do have some tricks up your sleeve. Haha, I knew that Donna wouldn't speak nonsense! Very good, if we can find and kill those fellows, I will reward you. Everyone in the City of Shadows knows that I'm the most generous! "Carmelita was very happy and did not conceal her praise for Han Shuo.
"Alright, before we find those fellows, we will listen to you! Hmm, what should we do next? "Carmelita continued to ask.
Han Shuo stared blankly for a moment before he forced a smile in his heart. That was all he had found through his demon generals. He had absolutely no idea where those people were. Faced with Carmelita's unwavering trust, Han Shuo didn't know what to do.
