Great Demon King

After the energies of the Five Elite Zombies were removed from the gymnasium, Scarlett, Bollands, Sanguis, and Gilbert could finally sense the presence of all those in it. After the soul-boundary deployed by Han Shuo vanished, the four re-entered the gymnasium together.

Gilbert and the others immediately congratulated Han Hao. Scarlett returned to Han Hao’s side and was no longer worried after seeing that he was very much alive.

Han Shuo felt content and he could not be prouder of Han Hao’s achievement. He believed that with more time, Han Hao could achieve even greater feats.

On the surface of the Pandemonium, Han Shuo’s main body slowly got to his feet. The Cauldron of Myriad Demon which had stabilized every demonic formation in the base returned into Han Shuo’s body.

Han Shuo was about to go back underground and ask Han Hao about his situation in detail. But suddenly, he turned his focus outwards, his senses pierced through the layers of mists shrouding the Pandemonium before he started scanning a mountain range nearby.

Han Shuo sensed a spot in the mountain range where the energy of lightning was much more intense than the surroundings. After withdrawing his consciousness from the gymnasium, Han Shuo immediately sensed the distant and faint anomaly which no ordinary expert could detect.

The Pandemonium was essentially a giant machine that gathers elemental energies from the environment, meaning that the elemental energies around the Pandemonium would always gradually flow towards the valley. But Han Shuo’s consciousness sensed that somewhere deep in the mountain range, there was a spot where the element of lightning was not drawn towards the Pandemonium and somehow, it was more intense than the environment.

With one thought, Han Shuo sent a strand of his consciousness to stealthily fly towards that anomalous region.

Upon arrival, Han Shuo detected that a mighty being was hiding there. The being emanated an aura that Han Shuo was most familiar with – it was none other than Salas!

Han Shuo let out a cold groan. His main body disappeared in a flash, piercing through the layers of mists and boundaries surrounding the Pandemonium without a trace. Han Shuo had memorized the terrains surrounding the Pandemonium down to the position of each rock. He could get anywhere within his territory with complete stealth.

Han Shuo became even more interested in the topic after hearing the explanation. He put on a big smile and asked, “Well then, how do you wanna cooperate? What can you give me and what can I give you?”

“I can give you all the information about the Godhunter Alliance and lead them into your traps. They are not familiar with the Fringe and they will listen to my advice with no doubt!” answered Salas immediately as though he had prepared for it.

Then, after taking a short pause and taking a deep breath, Salas continued, “I wish to return to the Fringe. After this war is over, some of the Sovereigns will die. It could be Tyre and Logue, or Wasir and Ossora. Or perhaps even all of them. By then, all you need to do is give me a hand and acknowledge my position.”

“That simple?” asked Han Shuo.

“It’s that simple!” said Salas resolutely.

After thinking for a moment, Han Shuo bunched his brows and looked at Salas, “Why would I trust you?”

If Salas was sincere in cooperating with Han Shuo, he would have a better certainty of the outcome of the war. But as Salas and Han Shuo used to be enemies, there was a good chance that Salas might betray him during the critical moments. Making even the slightest mistake could mean altering the entire war. Therefore, Han Shuo dare not take Salas’ words easily.

“I also can’t tell you why you should. However, if you agree to my proposal, I can provide you with a few very critical pieces of information right now. It will help you understand the situation better and even give you some advantages!” replied Salas seemed somewhat troubled, as though he could not think of a way to prove his sincerity.

Han Shuo hesitated for a while before he nodded and said, “Alright, I will work with you. Now tell me about it.”

For some reason, Salas seemed to trust Han Shuo. Not worried that Han Shuo might eat his words, he immediately said, “Dagmar knows that Han Hao possesses a Quintessence Shard and he had been scheming to take it from him. He had brought all his experts from the Death Dominion over and he’s going all-in.

“In addition, I discovered that Tyre and Dhaka of the Destruction Dominion could be connected. Tyre had been unusually informed about every movement of the Godhunter Alliance and Dhaka seemed to have spies in the Fringe. He knows too much about the Fringe.

“But the connection between Tyre and Dhaka is only my own speculation. I do not have concrete evidence yet. I’m telling you this so that you wouldn’t be caught surprised if it’s true. Right, don’t you think that the two have rather similar appearances?”

Han Shuo put on a surprised look. He recalled their faces for a moment and they did look vaguely similar to Han Shuo. He also recalled that both of them cultivated the energy of destruction. After thinking for a moment, Han Shuo said, “I think we have much to discuss… “

Salas was elated. It was obvious that Han Shuo was finally convinced that he was sincere. The two deployed layers of boundaries around them and held their discussion right in that spot. After hatching a conspiracy, Salas stealthily departed from the Pandemonium.
