The Divine Blessing Tavern was located in a bustling district at the center of Hushveil City. Many people had clearly seen how Rose killed those people on the street. It was only a matter of time before the Hushveil City divine guards came looking for them. Therefore, Han Shuo had no choice but to retreat.
Under the watchful eyes of the demon generals, Han Shuo led the three through block after block of streets, purposely going to some of the more secluded areas. After a while, they finally arrived at the first district of Hushveil City that resembled a slum.
Divine guards would rarely pay attention to such places. Not many members of major family clans would come here. Therefore, there shouldn't be any problems for the time being.
Charlotte used her divine tablet to spend a few black crystal coins and found a simple and crude gymnasium. The four entered the gymnasium as a temporary lodging.
Charlotte and Bechymos were still somewhat astonished. They looked at Lolth with very strange gazes. They did not expect that Lolth would be so daring as to kill someone in the middle of Hushveil City in front of so many aristocratic scions without uttering a single word!
Of course, they had also heard Han Shuo's words, "Since you're going to do it, make it clean". They were very astonished by Han Shuo and Rose. They did not understand what the two were thinking.
If it were up to Charlotte and Bechymos, they would at most teach that youth a lesson and humiliate him a little. They definitely wouldn't kill him along with his divine guards so easily!
"Han Shuo, you sure are bold!" Bechymos put on an astonished face and said, "That young man should have some status in Hushveil City. For you to kill him just like that, his family clan will definitely not let us off! Rose remained calm and did not feel that her actions were inappropriate. She remained silent as usual.
Han Shuo had seen his fair share of ups and downs. Although he felt that Rose's actions were rather rash, he did not take it to heart. He put on a faint smile and replied, "It's just killing a good-for-nothing young man. It's no big deal!" After taking a short pause, Han Shuo turned to Charlotte and Bechymos and said, "Hushveil City will surely investigate the three of us. The two of you should leave Hushveil City as soon as possible. You may be in danger if you stay. I know that your family clan possesses extraordinary strength. But the death of that young man and his divine guards is a serious matter. No matter how powerful your family clan is, you will still be in big trouble! "
"You're not coming with us?" Bechymos asked in astonishment.
"I have some matters to attend to. I will only leave after a while!" Han Shuo looked at Charlotte and said, "I don't have any extra medicines with me at the moment. The next time I refine them, you can send someone to the City of Shadows to purchase them. As long as you can prove your family clan's identity, I will not be as unreasonable as last time!"
Charlotte put on a delighted face after hearing Han Shuo's guarantee. She softly thanked Han Shuo before she pulled Bechymos and said, "We should head back first. I can tell that Brian and this friend possess extraordinary strength. Even if they run into trouble in Hushveil City, it shouldn't be too difficult for them to escape. But for the two of us, it won't be so easy for us to escape if we are really trapped!"
Charlotte had a clear understanding of the situation. For Han Shuo to not leave Hushveil City under such circumstances, he must have something extremely important to attend to. The strength Rose had displayed made Charlotte's heart palpitate. Furthermore, Han Shuo was a mysterious and unfathomable person. Charlotte believed that it was indeed unwise for them to get too close to Han Shuo under the current circumstances.
Bechymos bunched his brows and seemed somewhat displeased. He shot a glance at Charlotte and softly said, "Sister Charlotte, this isn't a good idea, is it?"
"If the two of us stay, we won't be able to help Brian. We might even become a burden to him!" Charlotte's bright eyes swiveled as she softly consoled Bechymos.
Upon hearing Charlotte's words, Bechymos's inquiring gaze fell on Han Shuo. Han Shuo shrugged his shoulders and said, "I still have some matters to attend to. It's more convenient to move around with fewer people!" After a short pause, Han Shuo continued in a low voice, "Also, it's best that you don't get involved in what I'm doing. This will have an extremely negative impact on your Brackner Family. Even if it's not for yourselves, you have to think about the interests of your family!"
As a descendant of a large family clan, although there were many conveniences, there were also many taboos. One had to put the interests of the family first. As a member of the Brackner Family, Bechymos obviously had to think about the interests of her family. Upon hearing Han Shuo's words, Bechymos's charming face was filled with a bitter smile as she helplessly nodded.
Given how Han Shuo and Rose had no qualms about slaughtering people at the slightest provocation, they were definitely going to do something big in Hushveil City. Bechymos was also unwilling to bring unnecessary trouble to her family. Therefore, she had no choice but to agree to Han Shuo's suggestion.
Charlotte and Bechymos continued to discuss with Han Shuo for a while, discussing some matters regarding future cooperation. Only when the sky gradually darkened did Charlotte and Bechymos finally leave Hushveil City as soon as possible.
Not long after the two left, Han Shuo shot a glance at Rose and said, "Let's go, it's time for us to move to another place!"
The gymnasium was rented using Charlotte's divine tablet. Han Shuo couldn't help but feel a little uneasy about it. Seeing that the sky was gradually darkening, Han Shuo wanted to move as soon as possible and settle his business at the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy.
Rose's killing of that young man on the street must have attracted the attention of some people. Han Shuo had to get rid of Hassling and Avery before his identity was exposed and his tracks were discovered. Otherwise, the longer he dragged things out, the more disadvantageous it would be for him.
Rose did not say a word and silently followed after Han Shuo.
As the night deepened, the security in Hushveil City grew noticeably tighter. Squads of divine guards patrolled the streets at night. Their eyes were vigilantly scanning their surroundings, searching for any suspicious traces.
Han Shuo knew that those divine guards were most likely looking for him and Rose. With the help of his demon general's vision, Han Shuo and Rose easily evaded the squads of divine guards and appeared in front of the Godswamp Pharmacy's entrance after midnight.
The Godswamp Pharmacy was quiet and peaceful at night. The gods were cultivating in the dark. The pharmacists, after a long day of hard work, needed to sleep. At a glance, only a few rooms in the Godswamp Pharmacy were still dimly lit.
During the day, his demon generals had scouted out most of the Godswamp Pharmacy's situation. He knew every area of the Godswamp Pharmacy like the back of his hand. Only the secret chambers and some hidden areas were protected by special boundaries and seals. Han Shuo was afraid that his demon generals would cause some commotion, so he did not immediately investigate them.
The demon generals refined from midgods and lowgods, after turning incorporeal, hid in the dark and observed the Godswamp Pharmacy from afar. The demon generals refined from Eugene and Eugene, on the other hand, were assigned by Han Shuo to explore the secret chambers and sealed areas protected by boundaries. Demon generals refined from highgods were spirit demons of the highest grade. They possessed greater strength and ability to conceal themselves. It would be more likely for Han Shuo to send them to explore some hidden areas.
Rose was right beside Han Shuo. She could sense strange lifeforms flying out from Han Shuo's body. They were like invisible flying insects that spread in every direction. Just like Andrina, Rose was very curious about Han Shuo's demon generals. She, who had been silent all this time, asked in a soft voice, "What are those things flying out from your body?"
"They are similar to the little spiders you control. They are used to gather information!" Han Shuo casually replied. He did not intend to give a detailed explanation.
"It's different. My little spiders are formed by the cells in my body using a special energy. They don't have the ability to fly or hide!" After a short pause, Rose closed her eyes and sensed for a moment before she continued, "Moreover, they are far less powerful than lifeforms like you. You are not a foreigner. How did you do it?"
"You're a slave. Ask less questions and do more work!" Han Shuo didn't want to answer and directly slapped a label on him.
Rose's eyes dimmed. She seemed to have recalled her identity. She curled her lips and said disdainfully, "What's so great about that!"
Han Shuo ignored her. Under the dim light of the night, the two demon generals of the highest grade had already approached the boundary with the secret chamber. Boundaries that could sense the existence of boundaries from afar generally wouldn't be particularly powerful. The two demon generals of the highest grade easily broke through the boundary and went all the way inside.
It was a secret passageway leading to the underground. The walls were covered with Energy Crystals, making the passageway appear brightly lit.
As they went deeper, there were seven to eight small boundaries blocking their way. The two demon generals of the highest grade passed through safely without triggering any abnormalities in the boundaries.
When they were about five to six hundred meters underground, a black iron door blocked the demon generals' prying. The black iron door had an extremely dense boundary energy. The grooves on the door were filled with high-purity Energy Crystals. The boundary energy was extremely powerful. It was impossible for the demon generals to go any further.
There had to be some sort of secret behind the iron and stone door. Before confirming that Avery was inside, Han Shuo didn't dare rashly let the demon generals barge in. Once the boundary reacted and alerted the people inside, it would cause them to be on their guard. This would be detrimental to this operation.
Han Shuo controlled the demon generals to stop in front of the black iron door. He waited patiently, wondering if he should take the risk.
Just as Han Shuo was pondering, the demon generals placed outside the Godswamp Pharmacy noticed a person wearing the uniform of a pharmacist entering the Godswamp Pharmacy. Han Shuo's heart jolted. He temporarily stopped his wild thoughts and quietly waited for the person to enter.
The person did not disappoint Han Shuo. He cautiously entered the Godswamp Pharmacy and headed straight for the black iron door. After a while, the person stood in front of the iron door and twisted a crystal compass. Then, a soft voice sounded from the other side of the door, "Who is it?"
"It's me, Karf!" the pharmacist, who seemed to be a frequent visitor, replied softly and moved his face closer to the black iron door.
The boundary energy gradually weakened. Then, the door slowly opened. A person smilingly invited Karf in and asked, "What good stuff have you brought today?"
With just a glance, the demon general could tell that the gatekeeper was one of Avery's former subordinates of the Fifth Corps. After Han Shuo took over the Fifth Corps, he had spent a lot of time reading through the information he had on the Fifth Corps. He had a good idea of who Avery's most loyal subordinates were.
"Is Lord Avery still cultivating inside?" Karf put on a faint smile and asked in a soft voice.
"Yes, I'll bring you there …" the former Fifth Corps divine guard replied smilingly. At this moment, the black iron door was closed and the boundary was reconnected. The two's voices grew softer and softer.
Outside the Godswamp Pharmacy, Han Shuo's expression jolted. He put on a faint smile and said, "Very good. That Ralph of the Second Corps' information is indeed accurate. Avery really is with Hassling. No wonder the House of Sainte couldn't find him!"
As he spoke, Han Shuo nodded at Rose and walked out from the darkness. He softly cried, "Follow me!" Han Shuo made a beeline for the Godswamp Pharmacy. With the omnipresent vision of demon generals, Han Shuo easily evaded the detection of the Godswamp divine guards and headed straight for the entrance of a secret chamber protected by boundaries.
The boundary in front of the door was only used as a warning and to conceal the existence of the secret chamber. With Han Shuo and Rose's strengths, it wasn't difficult for them to evade the boundary. The two carefully concealed their auras while Rose used her darkness divine energy to disrupt the effect of the boundary. Then, the two of them stealthily entered the secret chamber.
The demon general had seen everything in the tunnel clearly. With that in mind, Han Shuo and Rose's journey was very smooth. They dismantled one small boundary after another along the way and finally arrived in front of the black stone door.
The concealment ability of demon generals refined from two highgods was even more astonishing. It was only when Rose arrived at the door that she sensed the auras of two bizarre lifeforms hidden in the darkness. She looked at Han Shuo in astonishment, took a few steps back, and softly exclaimed, "How miraculous!"
Even a highgod of her level had to get so close to the door to detect the presence of the demon generals. How could an average person know that there was a pair of eyes right next to them? With such omnipresent vision, whether it was escaping or pursuing, it was as though they had turned on a cheating device. They were simply unstoppable!
Han Shuo pointed at the powerful iron door and asked in a weak voice, "Are you confident that you can break the boundary without making a sound?"
Rose took a step forward, observed for a moment, and shook her head. She replied, "No, the person who deployed the boundary is no weaker than me. If we attack, we will immediately alert the people inside!"
Han Shuo bunched his brows when he heard Rose's words. Then, he calmly said, "If that's the case, we can only force our way in!"
As soon as he finished those words, seventeen flying swords instantly flew out from his body. With one thought from Han Shuo, the seventeen flying swords fiercely bombarded the iron door in a special trajectory. An earth-shattering noise suddenly spread from the door. Under the terrifying power of the seventeen flying swords, the layers of boundaries were completely torn apart. The iron door was sliced into pieces.
Han Shuo proudly strode in and instructed Rose, "Don't leave anyone alive. Kill them all!"
"Who's there?" Amidst the flying stone fragments, a panicked shout came from inside.
Han Shuo didn't say a word. His flying swords shot towards the source of the voice. The shouts turned into miserable shrieks. Rose didn't stay idle either. Her long hair fluttered wildly in the wind. Several figures were sent flying by her hair. Blood spurted out from their bodies. By the time they landed on the ground, they were already dead.
