"It's all your fault! When will this ever end?!" Han Shui immediately blamed Han Mu as soon as they escaped from the fortress. If it wasn't for the three women fighting each other, he might have been left behind. Besides, it wasn't the first time he had encountered such a situation.
"Damn it, those women are so indecisive. They're always dragging their feet and acting all lovey-dovey. It looks like I'll have to find a married woman the next time I find a woman. They're the most straightforward. They'll just go their separate ways after the deed is done. They won't pester me at all!"
"Han Mu, do you think you can get away?!" A roar sounded from afar. In the blink of an eye, the middle-aged man whose face was covered with knife scars flew towards them. Behind him, a few enraged midgods were hot on his trail.
It hadn't been easy for them to escape from the fortress, but they had still been caught up to. Han Mu and Han Shui exchanged a helpless glance.
The middle-aged man whose face was covered with knife scars possessed early-stage highgod strength and cultivated in the energy of fire. Even before he arrived, he had already launched an attack. Streams of raging flames surged into the sky and engulfed Han Mu and Han Shui. The speed of the flames was much faster than the middle-aged man's. In an instant, Han Mu and Han Shui's escape route had been blocked.
Although Han Mu and Han Shui had a profound understanding of the energy of various elements, there was still a huge gap between their strengths and the middle-aged man's. The two had no choice but to immediately stop and flee. Very soon, they were caught up by their pursuers.
"Little Water, why don't we work together and clear the fire with a formation? As long as we cross this wilderness and enter the forest ahead, they won't be able to catch us!" Said Han Mu to Han Shui in a low voice. Given his mastery of the energy of life, no one would be able to catch him once he entered the forest.
"I don't think there's enough time!" Han Shui put on a bitter smile and shook his head. While they were talking, their pursuers had caught up in an instant. It was indeed a little too late to attack now.
"Dammit, this is so annoying!" Cursed Han Mu. He looked around and felt regret for the first time. He thought that he shouldn't have dragged Little Water into this mess.
"Han Mu, surrender now!" The middle-aged man approached Han Mu and Han Mu with a furious face. "As long as you marry my daughter, I will let bygones be bygones! Otherwise, the two of you won't get out of this alive! "
"I don't have any feelings for your daughter. Why do you have to force me?" replied Han Mu with a bitter face.
"Capture them first!" The middle-aged man knew that Han Mu was an expert in escaping. Seeing that Han Mu wasn't sincere, he waved his hand and gestured for his subordinates to capture them.
Those midgods had long found Han Mu an eyesore. Without saying a word, they charged at Han Mu while cursing and swearing.
It was at this moment that an ear-piercing whistle suddenly sounded in the quiet night sky. A shadow as sharp as a blade pierced right into the middle of those who were preparing to attack. An evil energy exploded in the middle of the battlefield like a thunderclap. Several midgods were sent staggering by the energy. None of them could get close to Han Mu and Han Shui.
"Brother!" cried Han Mu and Han Shui simultaneously. Their faces were filled with uncontrollable ecstasy.
Little Skull, Han Hao, wore a cold and gloomy face. He took a glance at the midgods lying on the ground before turning his gaze to the highgod of fire. Little Skull, Han Hao, pointed his three-meter-long bone spear at the middle-aged man and said expressionlessly, "Take a step forward and die!"
When the middle-aged man saw that his subordinates were being beaten up by the strange power, he was about to kill them. However, he immediately felt a terrifying and evil power suddenly filling the surroundings. He frowned and carefully sensed it. Suddenly, he turned pale with fright and said, "Who are you? What is your relationship with Han Mu? "
Little Skull, Han Hao, did not answer. He looked at the middle-aged man for a moment before he turned to the excited Han Mu and Han Shui and said, "Let's go." Upon finishing those words, Little Skull, without paying any attention to the highgod of fire, headed straight for Ethereal City.
Han Mu and Han Shui put on a low smile and simultaneously made a disdainful gesture at the highgod of fire. Then, without looking at the few people behind them, they followed Little Skeleton towards Ethereal City while talking and laughing.
A few midgods who had just stood up were infuriated by Han Hao's arrogance. They stood up and cursed loudly. They were about to charge at Han Hao and the others and chop them into pieces.
"Stop!" Shouted the middle-aged man. When he saw that his subordinates were looking at him in astonishment, he shouted again, "Don't chase after them!"
"My Lord …" One of the midgods seemed rather wronged.
The middle-aged man waved his hand and stopped his subordinates from complaining. He looked at Little Skull, Han Hao, with complicated eyes and said, "Don't say anything. Let's go back."
Although the group of midgods were full of doubts, they dared not say anything. They hung their heads low and followed after the middle-aged man.
"Father, where is he? Have you caught him?" shouted the beautiful woman named Little Mi excitedly.
"Don't ever mention that Han Mu again!" Shouted the middle-aged man sternly, "This person is not someone we can afford to offend. For the sake of the family, you had better forget about him as soon as possible!"
"Why, Father? How could you do this? "She had never been reprimanded so harshly. Tears of grievance welled up in her eyes.
"We cannot let our family suffer a calamity because of you! Little Mi, remember this. Don't ever look for Han Mu again! Otherwise, I'll lock you up directly! "The middle-aged man shouted coldly, showing no mercy at all.
"My Lord, do those two youngsters have that kind of strength?" asked one of the midgods in disbelief.
"Han Mu and Han Shui don't have that kind of strength. But that youngster who appeared later is not someone I can defeat!" The middle-aged man glanced at his subordinates and said, "That youngster has a strong killing aura. He is definitely not a softhearted person. If we had recklessly attacked him, all of us would have died, including me!"
Upon hearing those words, the midgods were aghast. Even Little Mi kept quiet out of fear. She no longer dared to blame her father for his unusual behavior.
…
"What happened?" asked Han Hao as soon as they left the area and entered the vast mountain range outside of Ethereal City.
"Why don't you ask Little Mu?" Han Shui glared at Han Mu.
Under the gaze of Little Skull and Han Hao, Han Mu felt a little guilty and told Han Mu roughly what happened.
Han Hao listened attentively. When Han Mu finished, he furrowed his brows and softly reprimanded, "Be more careful in the future. Focus all your energy on cultivation!"
"Got it, Big Brother," Han Mu was a little afraid of Han Hao and obediently agreed. He dared not say anything more to Little Skull.
"It's just the two of you left. Father has been waiting for you in the city. If you didn't come, father would have gone to look for you!"
Han Mu and Han Shui were overjoyed to hear Han Shuo mentioned. They asked simultaneously, "How is father?"
Han Hao thought for a moment and replied, "Very well."

* * * Ethereal City, Celestial Pearl Pharmacy.
Baum personally visited the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy. After taking a tour around the pharmacy, he followed Han Shuo to the reception hall. He casually asked, "I heard that the pharmacy was frequently attacked recently?"
"They are just a bunch of clowns. Don't worry, City Lord. They won't be able to cause any trouble," replied Han Shuo with a faint smile. Han Shuo put on a faint smile and gestured for Rose, Han Huo, and Han Tu to leave. Then, he asked, "City Lord, do you have any news?"
Baum nodded and took out a magical mirror. He hovered it in mid-air and explained to Han Shuo, "That friend of mine is not in Ethereal City. I usually communicate with him through the magical mirror. If you don't mind, why don't we use this method to meet him?"
Han Shuo bunched his brows and thought for a moment before he replied, "Sure."
Baum said no more. He sent a stream of divine energy into the magical mirror. The energy crystals inlaid around the mirror all lit up. A blurry figure gradually became clearer. "I have long heard of the great name of the Master of Celestial Pearl Pharmacy. Haha, it is my honor to do business with you!" A rough voice sounded from the mirror. A middle-aged man with messy red hair emerged from the mirror.
"You are?" Han Shuo immediately turned his attention to the man. Han Shuo could not sense the man's aura through the magical mirror and therefore could not estimate his true strength.
"My name is Lehi. I live in the Realm of God Of Light." The red-haired middle-aged man briefly introduced himself before he laughed heartily and said, "I am very confident in the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy. As long as you agree, we can start our business immediately. The first batch of crystal coins will be delivered to you by Baum immediately!"
"Brian, as long as you are willing, I can immediately deliver Lehi's five hundred thousand black crystal coins to you! I have a list in my hand. All you need to do is to deliver the medicines to me according to the requirements on it! "Baum interrupted. A long list of medicines appeared in his hand.
Han Shuo took a glance at the list and could tell that most of the medicines on it were contraband. If Baum, the City Lord of Ethereal City, could take care of this matter, there should not be any problems in Ethereal City. No matter how Han Shuo looked at it, there was no harm in doing so.
However, Han Shuo was not in a hurry to agree. He smilingly took the list from Baum's hand and said, "I won't accept crystal coins for now. Let me see if those pharmacists can produce the medicines on the list first. If they feel that there are no problems, then we will discuss further."
Lehi was a little surprised. He did not expect that Han Shuo would be so hesitant even when there was such a huge profit to be gained. He looked at Han Shuo with a puzzled expression and said, "Given the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy's capabilities, the medicines on the list will not have any problems. Baum is the City Lord of Ethereal City. What are you worried about?"
"Not really. It's just that the number of pharmacists under my command is too small. I might not be able to produce medicines worth five hundred thousand black crystal coins on time. I need to communicate with them first," replied Han Shuo with a very good attitude. His reason was also very reasonable.
Lehi thought for a moment before he nodded and said with a smile, "Alright, I like your responsible attitude. I'll be waiting for your good news!"
Upon finishing those words, Leich took the initiative to cut off the communication. Baum also did not say anything else. After casually chatting with Han Shuo for a while, he bid farewell and left.
