* * * In a luxurious manor in the southeast district of Ethereal City.
The highgod of lightning who was riddled with scars had finally returned to his manor. As soon as he arrived at his manor, he hid in a gymnasium and used the divine essences of lightning to recover his divine body.
The battle with Little Skull Han Hao had caused his divine body to suffer severe injuries. He would need some time to fully recover.
The divine essences in his palm shone with dazzling radiance. Specks of divine energy from the divine essences of lightning slowly seeped into the damaged parts of his divine body, allowing him to gradually relax.
After the battle with Little Skull Han Hao, he had developed a sense of fear. Little Skull had combined the energy of death and demonic arts to form an extremely strange and sinister energy. Although his strength wasn't much inferior to Little Skull's, he was at a complete disadvantage in the battle.
In the final attack, those bone spurs that appeared and disappeared mysteriously had inflicted great damage on him. He had no time to evade and his divine body was pierced through by the bone spurs. That was why he was at a complete disadvantage in the subsequent battle.
As he was quietly adjusting his breathing in the secret chamber, he suddenly sensed an unusual spacetime fluctuation in the manor. With one thought, he used a large crystal ball in his hand to observe the situation. He discovered that City Lord Baum had quietly landed in a remote corner of the manor.
He put away the divine essences in his hand for the time being and instructed through the crystal ball, "Bring His Lordship here!"
Two divine guards immediately walked out from the shadows and respectfully led Baum into the secret chamber. After the two divine guards left, Baum bunched his brows and asked, "Rene, what's going on?"
"The Celestial Pearl Pharmacy is too terrifying. That woman's strength alone was on par with mine. Then, a youngster suddenly appeared. He chased me all the way from the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy to the stone forest and wouldn't let me go. After a battle with him, I discovered that I was no match for him!" Cried the man named Ryan. He put on a frightened face and said, "That woman and that youngster together could kill me. I finally believe what you told me back then. That Brian's strength should be on par with yours!"
Ryan had suffered heavy casualties in this trip to the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy and he himself had suffered a crushing defeat. This was a huge blow to him. He even had thoughts of retreating. It seemed that he wouldn't even care about avenging his younger brother's death.
Upon hearing Ryan's words, Baum coldly snorted and said, "Ryan, don't forget how your brother died. Don't you want to avenge your younger brother? "
Ryan put on a bitter smile and sighed, "I want to avenge him. But I'm afraid that if I persist, my entire family and I will be buried with him! City Lord, this Celestial Pearl Pharmacy isn't something I can handle. If you don't have absolute confidence, please don't count my family clan in! "
Don't worry, I know more about the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy than you do. Today, you have found out their true strength. Hmm, the next time we take action, it won't be like this. Don't worry, I will only come to you when I have the confidence to kill them in one strike! " Baum comforted Ryan. After a short pause, he asked, "Tell me about that youngster. His appearance, strength, energy, temperament, and so on. I want to know everything!"
"He seems to be only fifteen or sixteen years old. He has a rather devilishly handsome face. He cultivates in the energy of death. However, his energy of death is rather peculiar. It doesn't seem to be pure, but its power is extremely terrifying! He is a man of few words and doesn't seem to like talking to others. It seems that he has killed many people. His attacks are ruthless and merciless. Every time he attacks, he would use a killing move. This youngster is too frightening! "When Ryan mentioned the Little Skull, Han Hao, there was obvious fear on his face.
The more Baum listened, the more apprehensive he became. As he listened to Ryan's description, he felt that he had heard of this person before. Suddenly, a thought flashed across Baum's mind. His expression changed and he softly cried out, "Could it be him?"
"Who?" Ryan stared blankly for a moment. He immediately asked curiously, "City Lord, do you know who he is? What is his background? I have never heard of anyone possessing such terrifying strength at such a young age. I have been on Elysium for so long. Could it be that Your Lordship knows who he is? "
"It's nothing. Just focus on recuperating and don't leave the gymnasium for the time being. Hmm, I will come to you when I have a perfect plan! " Baum did not wait for Rayne to ask any more questions. He immediately left the manor and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
… …
After the Little Skull, Han Hao, arrived, Han Shuo was very happy. He stayed with Han Hao, Han Tu, and Han Huo for a few days. They talked aimlessly about all sorts of trifling matters. Along the way, Han Shuo shared his understanding of demonic arts with Han Hao and his recent comprehensions with Han Hao.
Han Tu and Han Huo were also there. Unfortunately, for some unknown reason, the two did not understand the essence of demonic arts that Han Shuo had taught them at all. Moreover, they did not show any interest in cultivating demonic arts. Han Shuo could not force the two to cultivate demonic arts. Therefore, he placed most of his attention on the Little Skull, Han Hao.
When Han Shuo started to discuss demonic arts with the Little Skull, Han Hao, he was surprised to discover that the Little Skull, Han Hao, had unknowingly gained a very deep understanding of demonic arts. The Little Skull, Han Hao, had mastered the basic methods of refining weapons and demonic generals. Even the methods of arranging demonic formations and controlling demonic weapons with his soul were very effective. Han Shuo gasped in amazement.
Han Shuo was very surprised by the dual energies in the Little Skull's body. He did not expect that the Little Skull could reach such heights just by relying on the memories in his soul and without anyone's guidance. The birth of the Little Skull was nothing short of a miracle.
When Han Shuo explained more about the essence of demonic arts to the Little Skull, he discovered that the Little Skull only needed to ponder for a while to understand even the most complicated application of energy. From the beginning to the end, the Little Skull did not show the slightest expression of confusion. He was like a sponge absorbing the knowledge of demonic arts from Han Shuo.
In the blink of an eye, another half a month had passed.
Han Shuo and the Little Skull, Han Hao, were having a conversation in a secret chamber in the basement of the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy. Although the two did not speak passionately and intimately as a father and son should, the two knew that they were the most intimate people in the world. Such feelings did not need any warm words to set them off. No one other than the two of them could understand their feelings.
Before Han Mu, Han Shui, and Han Jin arrived at Ethereal City, Han Shuo began to worry. He instructed Rose to inform the divine guards in the nearby Ethereal City to keep an eye out for any newcomers to the city and to bring anyone named Han Mu, Han Shui, or Han Jin to the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy immediately.
"Father, I can think of a way. Perhaps I can help you get the whereabouts of that divine body from Baum!" On this day, Han Shuo and Han Hao were talking about Baum, the City Lord of Ethereal City. Little Skull, Han Hao, kept quiet for a moment before he suddenly said to Han Shuo. Han Shuo naturally did not hide McKinley's existence from Han Shuo. He also explained the reason why he would not fall out with Baum for the time being.
"What do you have in mind?" Han Shuo was rather surprised. He said, "That highgod of lightning who escaped the last time is still alive. Baum might have learned of your identity from that guy. I believe that even if you meet Baum now, he will not trust you wholeheartedly!"
"I can ask other godhunter leaders. As long as the price is right, I'm sure those godhunter leaders will be willing to do this for me!" Little Skull raised his brows and explained, "In the world of godhunters, there are no friends or emotions. There is only profit! As long as the price is right, they will do anything! Anything! "
"Crystal coins are not a problem. If you really have a way, there's no harm in giving it a try!" replied Han Shuo smilingly after thinking for a moment.
"Then I will be leaving Ethereal City for a while. Father, if there is no need to, we should try not to see each other in front of others. I will come to you alone in the future. My reputation in the other Dominions isn't good. If your relationship with me is known by others, it might be detrimental to your Celestial Pearl Pharmacy! "Little Skull hesitated for a moment before he said to Han Shuo.
"Let's talk about this later. Be careful." Han Hao's words from Little Skull were exactly what Han Shuo was worried about. According to Han Hao, his godhunter teams in other Dominions were notorious for their misdeeds. Celestial Pearl Pharmacy would be greatly affected if the relationship between Han Hao and Han Shuo were to be made known. However, Han Shuo did not have a good solution for the time being.
"Father, don't worry. If I want to leave, not many people can stop me! Not even Baum, the City Lord of Ethereal City! " Said Little Skull confidently. As a cultivator of demonic arts, he naturally knew some strange escape arts. Therefore, his words were not exactly arrogant.
Han Shuo nodded smilingly. Ever since he learned that Little Skull possessed the strength to injure a mid-stage highgod and that he cultivated in several demonic arts, Han Shuo no longer worried about Little Skull, Han Hao.
Although Elysium was vast and experts were as numerous as the clouds in the sky, Han Shuo believed that only a limited number of gods could truly kill Little Skull, Han Hao. Therefore, when Han Shuo heard that Little Skull wanted to leave for a while, he agreed to it without much consideration.
Five days after Little Skull left, Han Shuo, who had been bitterly waiting for news from Han Mu, Han Shui, and Han Jin, finally received a piece of news.
The news came from the owner of the Goldstone Trading Company, Myles. When Myles arrived, he wore an ugly face and informed Han Shuo that Han Jin had arrived at the Goldstone Trading Company in Ethereal City. However, Han Jin was severely injured!
Han Shuo's face was ice-cold. Without saying a word, he left the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy with Myles and arrived at the Goldstone Trading Company.
When they arrived at the secret chamber of the Goldstone Trading Company, Han Shuo saw a weak-looking Han Jin. As a cultivator of the metal energy, Han Jin's body was limp. When he saw Han Shuo, he forced an ugly smile and struggled to sit up.
Han Shuo hastily took a step forward and supported him. The demonic yuan within his body flowed into his body like a trickle. He said in a low voice, "Don't talk. Your injuries are not light. Stabilize them first!" Gingerly, Han Shuo took out a handful of medicinal pellets and stuffed them into Han Jin's mouth. He made Han Jin chew and swallow them.
After swallowing the golden bean-like elixir, Han Jin's complexion gradually improved.
