Andre and Erebus put on a gloating smile and ignored Rugersey. They immediately followed after Han Shuo and Erebus.
The two were now filled with curiosity towards Angelina. They didn't understand how a little girl like her could possess such terrifying strength, and even more so didn't understand why she would follow Han Shuo so obediently. Therefore, they were anxious to clarify the situation.
Outside the Kisa Residence, Andre and Erebus had caught up to Han Shuo.
When Han Shuo saw Andre and Erebus following behind, he slowed down his pace and smilingly said, "Thank you for your help just now. Otherwise, I'm afraid it would have been very difficult for me to walk out of the Kisa Residence!"
"Not at all. With such a powerful expert by your side, the Kisa Residence wouldn't have had much of an advantage in a fight!" Erebus swept a glance at Han Shuo before turning his attention to Andrina. He asked puzzledly, "Young lady, what kind of energy did you use? Why have I never seen it before? "
Andrina glared at Erebus and coldly replied, "None of your business!"
"Ahem …" Erebus let out two dry laughs in embarrassment.
Andre, who was about to ask Erebus about it, tactfully did not pursue the matter. However, he still looked at Andrina with great astonishment. Andrina obviously did not have a good impression of the two. She only silently followed behind Han Shuo and paid them no heed.
"Erm … Brian, there is something fishy about what happened at the Kisa Residence today. That youngster, as a member of the Kisa Residence, dared to use your medicine to harm others. He must be targeting your Celestial Pearl Pharmacy. He might have been instigated by someone. You must be careful," Andre said after a moment of silence.
"Yes, this incident is obviously targeting me. I wonder who it is that wants to do this to me." Han Shuo nodded. He knew that Gale wouldn't have the guts to do such a thing. Besides, he had no grudge against that youngster. He wouldn't do such a thing for no reason.
"Have you offended anyone recently? I mean apart from Avery. Avery hasn't been in the City of Shadows recently and I've been keeping an eye on the Fifth Corps' every move. It shouldn't have anything to do with him! "Andre bunched his brows and thought for a moment. He was rather puzzled.
Han Shuo was taken aback. He stopped moving and pondered for a moment. Suddenly, Han Shuo had an idea and said, "I've been to the Godswamp Pharmacy. The owner, Steiss, wanted to do business with me, but we parted on bad terms. In the banquet hall of that alchemist, I got into an argument with an alchemist named Gu Li. Could it be that Gu Li? "
"Phantom City's Gu Li?" Erebus exclaimed softly. Soon after, he shook his head and explained, "This Gu Li has an eccentric temperament. Although she is rather famous in Mirage City, she shouldn't have that much influence in our City of Shadows, right?"
"Someone is trying to tarnish the reputation of my Celestial Pearl Pharmacy. If my Celestial Pearl Pharmacy were to collapse, who in the City of Shadows would benefit the most?" Han Shuo mumbled to himself with his brows bunched. Suddenly, he bunched his brows and became suspicious of that Steiss from the Godswamp Pharmacy. Han Shuo had a bad impression of that person. The reason why he didn't want to talk to him was because he felt that this person was too scheming.
"If something happens to your medicines, the ones who will benefit the most will be the pharmacies in the City of Shadows. You might not have noticed it, but the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy's appearance has affected the businesses of all the major pharmacies in the City of Shadows. Among them, the Godswamp Pharmacy has suffered the greatest loss! "Andre seemed to have realized something when he heard Han Shuo mumbling to himself.
Han Shuo became even more puzzled after hearing Andre's words. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly put on a smile and said, "I will have to trouble you two Lords to look into this matter. I believe that you two Lords will be able to find the cause of this matter."
"Don't try to drug us, kid. But I will keep an eye out!" Andre replied smilingly.
"Alright, if there's nothing else, I will take my leave." Han Shuo knew that Andre would definitely help him. Before he left, he asked, "Oh right, how is Carmelita?"
"Don't worry, she has woken up and is recovering well," Andre's smile grew even more gentle when he saw how concerned Han Shuo was about Carmelita.
"Then I am truly relieved," Han Shuo waved at the two and left with Andrina.
Andre and Erebus did not pursue them. After Han Shuo and Andrina were gone, Erebus said in a low voice, "That young lady is no pushover. Even I have no confidence in defeating her in a real fight!"
Andre nodded in agreement and said, "I didn't even realize her true strength the last time we fought her. If we hadn't arrived just in time, I'm afraid that Rugersey would have suffered greatly!"
"What I am most curious about is that youngster Brian. Why is that young lady so dependent on him even though she is so powerful? And from the looks of it, that young lady only listens to him. This is really strange! "Erebus bunched his brows. His heart was filled with doubts.
"We have plenty of time to figure out the situation. Fortunately, that youngster Brian seems to be more inclined towards our family. If that young lady completely listens to him, I believe it won't be a bad thing for us," Andre thought for a moment and said to Erebus, "Have you found Avery's whereabouts?"
"Not yet," Erebus shook his head.
"Keep an eye on the Godswamp Pharmacy. I feel that there's something unusual about Brian," Andre said.
"Got it. That youngster's medicines are truly miraculous. I will have my men keep an eye on the Godswamp Pharmacy to see if they are behind this," Erebus said smilingly. It seemed that he was very curious about Han Shuo.
… …
Han Shuo did not return to the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy. Han Shuo became suspicious and immediately began to take action.
After Andre's reminder, Han Shuo suddenly realized that the rise of the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy in the City of Shadows had seriously threatened the original pharmacies in the City. As the largest pharmacy in the City of Shadows, the Godswamp Pharmacy had suffered the heaviest losses. Han Shuo knew that they would definitely take action.
Steiss' invitation to cooperate with Han Shuo could be considered as an action taken by the Godswamp Pharmacy. However, Han Shuo had flatly refused. Since soft tactics didn't work, it was only natural for them to use a little more forceful means to force Han Shuo into submission. As his suspicions grew, Han Shuo immediately set his sights on the Godswamp Pharmacy.
With the help of the demon generals in the Cauldron of Myriad Demon, Han Shuo was blessed with many opportunities to secretly investigate. Soon enough, Han Shuo and Andrina arrived at the area where the Godswamp Pharmacy was located. Han Shuo found a shadowy area to hide in. After that, Han Shuo released his demon generals and flew towards the Godswamp Pharmacy.
"Huh? What's that?" Andrina suddenly let out a soft cry. Her eyes glistened with dazzling radiance. The silhouettes of several demon generals appeared in her pupils.
Those demon generals refined by Cauldron Spirit could skillfully transform into their incorporeal forms. When Han Shuo released them, he deliberately made them appear incorporeal. Only Han Shuo, with his super-strong consciousness, could clearly see the traces of those demon generals. An average person wouldn't be able to detect them at all. Han Shuo was careless and forgot about Andrina's mysterious strength.
After Andrina let out a soft cry, the few demon generals quickly disappeared from Han Shuo's vicinity. At this moment, Andrina's eyes were fixed on Han Shuo. She asked in incomparable astonishment, "Did … did those things come out from your body? I saw it clearly. Don't try to hide it! "
"Erm …" Han Shuo felt a headache coming on under Andrina's Fiery Eyes.
"What exactly were those things? It's so strange. If we weren't so close to each other, I probably wouldn't have discovered them! How interesting! What exactly were they? "Andrina was very interested. She shook Han Shuo's arm with both hands and wore an excited face.
"That's … a strange life form. It's a kind of life form on our Profound Continent. It can be used to gather information!" Han Shuo explained to Andrina with a bitter face. He thought to himself, I must be careful when I'm with her in the future. This little girl's senses are way too sharp!
"This life form is so miraculous. It doesn't seem to have a physical body. It's like pure soul energy, and the energy isn't weak at all! By the way, why are they in your body? Are you also a strange lifeform? "Angelina showed great interest in this matter and pestered Han Shuo with questions." That's right. Why are they in your body?
"No, I'm just using a kind of container to store them. I can take them out to gather information when I need it. It's that simple. Don't ask any more questions. I still have things to do!" Han Shuo hastily replied. He then closed his eyes and pretended to be very busy. He ignored Andrina.
The use of demon generals was far more than just gathering information. They could be used for sneak attacks, deployment of formations, assassination, concealment, and many other purposes. The demon generals refined by Cauldron Spirit, in particular, possessed immense strength. They were Han Shuo's main helpers. Of course, these were all secrets that Han Shuo would definitely keep. He would never tell Andrina about them.
Andrina was about to continue asking but when she saw that Han Shuo had even closed his eyes, she knew that Han Shuo didn't want to talk about it. However, she became more and more curious about Han Shuo. Her gaze when she looked at Han Shuo was filled with amazement.
The Godswamp Pharmacy was the largest pharmacy in the City of Shadows. Naturally, it was protected by boundaries. However, the Godswamp Pharmacy was just a pharmacy after all. Although it possessed extraordinary strength, it did not dare to show off in the City of Shadows. Therefore, the boundaries they set up were not particularly powerful. Therefore, the demon generals were able to easily sneak in.
Han Shuo's demon generals circled around a few buildings in the Godswamp Pharmacy and discovered that there were entire sets of medicine refining equipment. Many pharmacists were busy using the equipment in their hands to refine strange medicines. There were also some pharmacists of higher status who were arguing in a few rooms with flushed faces.
Using his demon generals' senses of sight and hearing, Han Shuo discovered that they were merely discussing medicine refining techniques. They did not mention anything about the House of Kisa. One of the demon generals discovered Gu Li in Mirage City. Due to the gathering of pharmacists, Gu Li was still residing in the Godswamp Pharmacy.
Han Shuo treated Gu Li as a suspect. His demon general carefully observed Gu Li's every movement. He saw that Gu Li had an irritated face. She was flipping through thick medicine refining books and muttering to herself. When the demon general heard what she was muttering, he nearly laughed out loud.
It turned out that Gu Li was flipping through thick medicine refining books in search of the few medicinal ingredients that Han Shuo had casually mentioned in the banquet hall. Those medicinal ingredients weren't something that the people of this universe should know about. Even if they knew about those medicinal ingredients, they wouldn't have given them the same names. Han Shuo had only said those words to annoy Gu Li. He did not expect that she would be so persistent.
Just by looking at the medicine refining books scattered on the ground and Gu Li's messy hair, Han Shuo knew that Gu Li had probably been searching through those books for a long time.
"Ah …" Gu Li pulled her hair frantically and screamed like a madman, "That kid must be talking nonsense. That's impossible. If those medicinal ingredients really exist, there's no way I wouldn't know about them! He must be lying! He must be a liar … "
After yelling for a while, Han Shuo thought that Gu Li would give up on this pointless method. He did not expect that after yelling for a while, she would pull out an even thicker medicine refining book and continue to read it. She lowered her head to look for the medicinal ingredients while cursing him in a low voice.
Han Shuo, who originally loathed Gu Li, was somewhat impressed by her tireless spirit. Gu Li's character was indeed problematic, but Han Shuo could not help but admire her enthusiasm in studying medicine refining. It was no wonder that she could become the best medicine refining pharmacist in Phantom City. Based on her enthusiasm alone, Han Shuo believed that she must be a real talent.
Because of this, Han Shuo immediately excluded Gu Li from the list of suspects. A crazy woman like her who only knew how to refine medicine shouldn't have so many thoughts to deal with him. Moreover, judging from Gu Li's appearance, Han Shuo guessed that she had not left this place for a long time. It was impossible for her to have the time to carry out any schemes.
After excluding Gu Li, Han Shuo focused on Steiss. However, after searching the Godswamp Pharmacy with his demon generals, they could not find Steiss. This made Han Shuo feel a little strange.
After thinking for a moment, Han Shuo dispersed his demon generals even more. This time, he no longer searched the obvious buildings but focused on some remote areas where boundaries might appear.
Three secret chambers with powerful boundaries were discovered by the demon generals. Two of them had relatively weaker defensive boundaries. After hesitating for a moment, Han Shuo carefully controlled the two strongest demon generals to barge into the two boundaries.
Everything went smoothly. The boundaries did not trigger any alarms or counterattacks. As soon as the two demon generals entered the two secret chambers, Han Shuo was immediately startled by what he saw.
Inside one of the boundaries were many frozen organs. Most of those organs belonged to humans. Every single one of them was in good condition. Inside the other boundary were many lowgods and basegods with weak strength. Several pharmacists with cold expressions were feeding some of the prisoners medicines that were emitting green smoke. One of the basegods seemed to be unable to withstand the effects of the medicine and soon turned into a puddle of green blood.
Han Shuo was shocked by what he saw in the two secret chambers. The methods used in the two secret chambers were illegal, especially the experiments on gods. The drugs used were clearly poisons. This was strictly forbidden by all Dominions. Han Shuo did not expect that the Godswamp Pharmacy would dare to disregard the laws of all Dominions and conduct such a thing in the City of Shadows.
The two secret chambers with relatively weaker boundaries had already produced such shocking scenes to Han Shuo. With that, Han Shuo became even more curious about the last secret chamber with the strongest boundary. Furthermore, Han Shuo was now very suspicious of the Godswamp Pharmacy. When he thought about the abnormal situation at the House of Kisa, Han Shuo suspected that it was because of the poisons that one of the two had died and the other had regressed in strength!
"What's wrong?" Andrina's voice suddenly sounded beside Han Shuo's ear.
Han Shuo came to his senses. He turned to look at Andrina beside him, took a deep breath, forced a smile, and said, "Nothing, nothing …"
"You don't look too good. Did you discover something?" Andrina asked in a concerned tone.
"I'll tell you later. Don't talk to me for now!" Han Shuo did not say much and closed his eyes again.
No matter what illegal things the Godswamp Pharmacy did, Han Shuo could not be bothered to ask. However, judging from the current situation, the Godswamp Pharmacy was the biggest suspect in what happened at the House of Kisa. Therefore, Han Shuo had to get to the bottom of the situation.
The most powerful demon general arrived at the secret chamber with the strongest defense. The walls of the secret chamber were made of special materials. There were several boundaries on the walls that Han Shuo was not familiar with. Han Shuo was not confident that the demon general could break through the boundaries and see what was inside. Therefore, he was a little hesitant.
I should be discovered. However, I can give it a try. If it doesn't work, I'll retreat immediately. I believe they won't be able to find me anyway, Han Shuo thought to himself.
After focusing his attention, Han Shuo ordered the demon general to enter. The demon general carefully clung to the wall and slowly broke through the boundaries.
Only two-thirds of the way through the wall, a force suddenly chased after the demon general. Han Shuo was shocked. He immediately understood that the demon general had been detected by the boundaries. However, he did not order the demon general to retreat. Instead, he ordered the demon general to break through the boundaries as fast as he could.
"Pa pa pa …" A series of crisp sounds came from the walls of the secret chamber. The demon general had successfully broken through the boundaries and entered the secret chamber.
"Brian, that guy must be … Someone!" A white-haired old man with a jade-like face ordered Stiles, who was kneeling on the ground. Before he could finish his sentence, he immediately noticed the abnormality of the boundaries and shouted.
The demon general did not hear anything else. However, based on those few words, Han Shuo was sure that what happened at the House of Kisa must have something to do with the two people in the secret chamber. There was no time to inquire about what was going on in the secret chamber. The old man seemed to have sensed the demon general's location. Han Shuo ordered the demon general to retreat immediately.
As soon as it entered the secret chamber, the demon general immediately received the order. Without any hesitation, it returned at an even faster speed. Anyway, its whereabouts had been exposed, so it was not afraid of making any noise.
There was another series of "pa pa pa" sounds. The demon general quickly broke through the boundaries and returned. At this time, the old man in the secret chamber had just gotten up and was about to chase after the demon general.
"Let's go!" Han Shuo, who was outside, simply grabbed Andrina and quickly left while the Godswamp Pharmacy was in a mess.
As soon as the demon general came out of the boundaries, it immediately flew into the sky. The old man seemed to have some misgivings. He looked up at the sky and did not chase after it. His expression was very ugly.
