Chapter 825 - Could it be him?
***Ethereal City. Inside a luxurious villa in the southeast region.
The wounded highgod of thunder, after taking plenty of detours, finally returned to his home. Upon arrival, he scuttled to his secret chamber and used thunder divine essences to heal himself.
The highgod had suffered quite some injuries in the battle against Little Skeleton. He needed a period before he could regain his full health.
The divine essences glistened and sparked in his palm as the lightning divine energy slowly filled the damaged areas around his divine body. He could finally start to relax.
The highgod of thunder’s mind was shrouded with fear after having fought Han Hao. The fusion of the energy of death and demonic arts had produced an extremely strange but wicked energy. Although his strength was not in the least inferior to Little Skeleton, in a battle, the highgod of thunder was completely on the back foot.
It was the few bone spurs that caught him by surprise that had caused him the greatest injuries. He could not avoid the bone spurs and his divine body was pierced. This had prevented him from unleashing his full strength in the remainder of the battle.
While he was resting and recuperating, he suddenly sensed an unusual spacetime fluctuation in his villa. With one thought, a big crystal ball appeared in his hand and he used it to observe around his house. He saw that Baum the City Lord had noiselessly arrived at a secluded spot in his house.
He kept away the divine essences in his hands and using the crystal ball, he instructed, “Bring the City Lord here!”
Two divine guards immediately moved out from the shadows and respectfully led Baum to the secret chamber. After the two divine guards dismissed themselves, Baum immediately bunched his brows and asked, “Leon, what actually happened?”
“I can get other godhunter leaders to ask him. As long as the price is right, they will surely help me with it!” Little Skeleton waggled his eyebrows and explained, “In the world of godhunters, there are no friends and no relationships. There are only profits! With enough money, they would do anything and everything for you!”
“Crystal coins are no issue. If you think it’ll work, there’s no harm in trying!” said Han Shuo in a faint smile after he thought about it for a moment.
“Then I need to take a trip outside Ethereal City. Father, in the future, we should avoid meeting in public places. My reputation isn’t so good in other Dominions. If others were to learn about our relationship, it will not be good for your Celestial Pearl Pharmacy,” said Little Skeleton after hesitating for a moment.
“We will talk about it in the future. You be careful out there,” Han Shuo was worried about the same thing. He had learned from Little Skeleton that his godhunter followers in several other dominions were notorious for their misdeeds. If the public were to learn of their relationship, it will severely impact the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy. But for the moment, Han Shuo did not have a good solution for this potential issue.
“Don’t worry, father. There are only a few in the world who could stop me from escaping, and Baum is not one of them!” said Little Skeleton confidently. As a cultivator of demonic arts, Little Skeleton also knew many bizarre but miraculous methods of escaping. Therefore, it was not an outlandish claim.
Han Shuo nodded smilingly. Ever since he learned that Little Skeleton had the strength to injure a mid-stage highgod expert and was cultivating multiple types of demonic arts, Han Shuo became truly at ease about Little Skeleton’s safety.
Although the Elysium was enormous and it housed a large number of powerful experts, Han Shuo reckoned that only a very small number of gods were capable of killing Little Skeleton. Therefore, after hearing that Little Skeleton wanted to leave for some time, Han Shuo agreed to it straightforwardly.
Five days after Little Skeleton left, Han Shuo, who had been anxiously waiting for Han Mu, Han Shui, and Han Jin, finally received the news.
The news came from Myles, the local manager for Goldstone Enterprise. Myles wasn’t looking happy when he showed up. He informed Han Shuo that Han Jin had arrived at the Goldstone branch at Ethereal City, but he was severely injured!
Han Shuo’s face immediately turned cold. Without saying a word, he left Celestial Pearl Pharmacy with Myles and rushed to the Goldstone store.
When Han Shuo entered the secret chamber in the Goldstone store, he saw Han Jin who was in poor health. Han Jin, a cultivator of the metal energy, looked very frail and weak at this moment. As soon as he saw Han Shuo, with great difficulty, he forced a smile and struggled to sit up.
Han Shuo hastily stepped forward and held him before channeling his demonic yuan to Han Jin’s body. “Don’t speak. Your injuries are severe. We need to stabilize your condition first!” Han Shuo carefully took out a golden and shining pelleted medicine and stuffed it into Han Jin’s mouth. He chewed the medicine and swallowed it.
Han Jin’s face immediately started to look healthier after taking the gold-nugget like medicine and could be seen slowly improving.
