Those who could resist the temptation of Bertha's five million gold coins were few and far between. Those who could stay after witnessing Han Shuo's shocking display of strength usually had something to rely on.
For example, they were the subordinates of the Five Sovereigns. Or they were confident that they could quickly retreat.
Under Han Shuo's gaze, the leaders of the few forces exchanged glances with one another. One of them said, "I mean no harm. I just happened to come and take a look. Gentlemen, if you are interested, I can introduce you to Lord Logue. I believe that Lord Logue will be very interested in you. "
His words were obviously related to one of the Five Sovereigns, Logue. It seemed that the reason why he had not left yet was because he wanted to recruit Han Shuo and his party for his master.
The other forces, Tyre, Ossora, Salas, Wasis, and Tyre all expressed their intentions. They represented the other four Sovereigns, Tyre, Ossora, Salas, and Wasis, in hopes that Han Shuo would consider their offer. They solemnly expressed to Han Shuo that as long as Han Shuo agreed, they would immediately give him everything he needed in the Fringe.
The Five Sovereigns had been fighting openly and covertly in the Fringe for many years. They had spared no effort in recruiting top-notch experts. Han Shuo had just proven his valiant strength. If he were to join one of the Sovereigns, the balance of power in the Fringe would definitely be broken and the strength of one of the Sovereigns would be greatly enhanced.
Han Shuo knew that the reason why they were so fearless was because they had the backing of the Five Sovereigns. He was not at all surprised by their proposal. Han Shuo shook his head smilingly and straightforwardly refused, "I'm sorry, but I have no intention of submitting to anyone. The Fringe is so vast. I believe that there will be a place for me to stand. Thank you for your kind offer. "
The Sovereigns nodded indifferently after hearing Han Shuo's words. They did not try to persuade Han Shuo to stay. From their point of view, an unruly and unruly person like Han Shuo indeed didn't seem like someone who would submit to others. They hadn't held much hope in their invitation to begin with. Now that Han Shuo had rejected them, they didn't stay any longer and took their leave.
Haruli also bowed slightly to Han Shuo and left with his men. In the blink of an eye, Han Shuo was surrounded by corpses. There was no one left alive.
"Rose, didn't you say that you still have friends? En, take me to them. Right now, we don't have enough manpower. If we can recruit them, we should grab them as soon as possible! "Seeing that everyone had dispersed, Han Shuo looked at Rose and said.
"Okay, I'll take you to them!" Rose nodded and prepared to lead the way.
"Wait!" Suddenly, a soft cry came from the checkpoint in the distance. In an instant, the Omphalos Guard who had warned Han Shuo many times came to greet him.
Han Shuo had a good impression of this person. Seeing that he was in a hurry, Han Shuo smiled and asked in a friendly manner, "What's the matter?"
"I heard you're asking about Kage, right?" He came over and lowered his voice.
Han Shuo stared blankly for a moment and asked puzzledly, "How did you know?"
"That Windspirit you asked about is one of us. He told me about it," the guard explained softly to Han Shuo. He then said to Han Shuo, "I'll give you a piece of information for free. Kage has just left the Empyrean Peak and should be returning to his residence. If you want to find him, now is the best time to do so. "
Upon finishing those words, the guard smiled at Han Shuo, turned around, and returned to the Omphalos.
Han Shuo was dumbfounded. He didn't understand why this guy kept showing goodwill to him. But when he heard that Kage had left the Empyrean Peak, he immediately changed his mind and decided to get rid of Kage first.
After the guard left, Little Skull Han Hao rolled his eyes and voiced his opinion, "Father, did that guy tell us about Kage so that we can get rid of him and then leak the information?"
Han Shuo put on a faint smile and nodded approvingly. He thought to himself, This son of mine is indeed not as naive as the Five Elite Zombies.
After giving it some thought, Little Skull Han Hao's theory was plausible. The Five Sovereigns of the Fringe were not on good terms with each other. That guard probably wasn't one of Salas's men. If Han Shuo killed Kage and leaked the information, it was very likely that Salas would come after him.
Judging from the strength Han Shuo had displayed, even if Han Shuo was defeated and killed by Salas, Salas would have to pay a hefty price. It was an ideal outcome for the Sovereigns.
"Don't worry. Let's get rid of Kage first. But we need to be careful not to arouse suspicion. Hehe, sooner or later, we will have to confront the Five Sovereigns, but not now! " Han Shuo's goal in coming to the Fringe was to unify the Fringe. However, as Han Shuo had yet to attain the Skybreak Realm in demonic arts, he wasn't confident that he could contend against the Five Sovereigns.
"Understood." Little Skull Han Hao nodded after hearing Han Shuo's words. He suddenly said, "Father, you don't have to worry about Kage. Why don't you leave him to me? "
Han Shuo stared blankly for a moment. He looked at Little Skull and thought to himself, Little Skull does indeed possess the strength to kill Kage. However, if Kage has some of his followers around him, things would be a little tricky. After hesitating for a moment, Han Shuo bunched his brows and said, "If it is a one-on-one fight, I believe it won't be difficult for you to kill Kage. But what if he has other experts with him?"
"I will bring Little Earth with me. That should be enough. With Little Earth's help, I can launch a sneak attack from anywhere and kill Kage in the shortest time possible. Once he is dead, I will immediately leave with Little Earth. Everything will be fine! "Han Hao was very confident.
Little Skull Han Hao was famous among the godhunters of the Death Dominion for being ruthless and cruel. Not only did he possess extraordinary strength, but he was also calm and decisive in his actions. In the past fifty years, Han Shuo thought for a moment and agreed to it smilingly. He nodded and said, "Alright. Why don't you and Little Earth make a trip together?"
It had been proven that the quickest way to improve their strength was to let them face all kinds of dangers and battles alone! Han Shuo understood that. In any case, Kage only possessed mid-stage highgod strength. Given the strength displayed by Little Skull, it wouldn't be too difficult to kill him. With Han Tu around, Han Shuo could attack from the front and defend from the back.
"Little Earth, come with me!" said Little Skull Han Hao softly after taking a glance at Han Tu.
Han Tu put on a silly smile and appeared rather excited. He turned to Han Shuo and said, "Father, I'm leaving!"
"If you can't find me, come to the Omphalos in one month," before leaving, Han Shuo instructed Little Skull Han Hao.
"Understood, Father," Little Skull nodded and left with Han Tu and Little Skull.
"Let's go. I will continue to look for Kage," said Han Shuo as he turned to Rose.
Rose said no more. She led the way and flew southwest. Han Shuo, Wood Elite Zombie, Water Elite Zombie, Fire Elite Zombie, and Metal Elite Zombie followed behind her.
Three days later, in a swamp that was permeated with miasma, Han Shuo and his party were wandering aimlessly. The sludge of the swamp was emitting a foul stench and bubbling water. When the water bubbles burst, poisonous gases would spread and fill the air.
All the animals and plants that could survive in the swamp were more or less poisonous. Along the way, all sorts of bizarre and bizarre plants would pounce on them. But before they could even get close to Han Shuo and his party, Han Mu would wave his hand and stop them.
"Dammit, the plants in this region are really savage. It takes me one more energy to control them. Fortunately, I have the Viride Leaf. Otherwise, I would have to disperse them all the way. I would have to exhaust more than half of the energy in my body! " Han Mu was cursing and swearing, saying that the plants in the swamp were not obedient enough. They even dared to question the orders of a tree spirit like him. This made him very displeased.
The wood elite zombie was refined from the elemental wood energy of the five elements. All plants and weeds also relied on the elemental wood energy to survive. The soul of the wood elite zombie belonged to the highest level. The elemental wood energy within its body could innately control plants and weeds. This was because compared to the wood elite zombie, the wood elite zombie was the lowest level of existence. Their souls did not have complete autonomy.
Generally speaking, any living creature that relied on the energy of wood could not escape from Wood Elite Zombie's control. In the Great Forest, Wood Elite Zombie could fuse the energy of wood into every tree. He could control the trees and weeds to attack, and he could also mobilize the energy of wood in the trees to replenish his divine energy.
Upon entering the Great Forest, Wood Elite Zombie's strength would increase exponentially. Even a highgod might not be a match for him in the Great Forest.
However, the plants in this swamp seemed to have been corroded by the poison for too long. They actually possessed very strong tenacity, and would even resist the commands of the wood elite zombie, the spirit of the trees. This caused the wood elite zombie to expend even more energy in order to control them.
"Rose, where is that friend of yours?" Han Shuo had unfolded his consciousness along the way but did not detect any signs of life. He was rather puzzled.
"I'm not too sure either. That fella has been living here all his life. Besides, he belongs to a special race. He is the most eccentric and strongest of all my friends. After so many years, I don't know if he has left this place or not. Therefore, I'm not too sure either. " Rose bunched her brows. She seemed to feel that it was meaningless to search aimlessly. However, she couldn't think of any good ideas.
"Let's keep searching. Hopefully, we can find something," said Han Shuo calmly.
The party continued to search. Another day passed but they still found nothing. On this day, they arrived at the largest swamp. When they saw enormous bubbles rising from the surface, Han Jin's expression suddenly jolted. He pointed below and said to Han Shuo in a joyful voice, "Father, there's a very strange metal down there. I have never seen it before. Let me take a look!"
Upon finishing those words, Han Jin suddenly leaped into the swamp.
Suddenly, before Han Jin could enter the swamp, a monstrous arm that looked like a steel claw suddenly extended from the bottom of the swamp, grabbed metal elite zombie, and dragged him into the swamp!
