Chapter 173: Not enough right to

After returning from the cemetery of death, Han Shuo discovered that Emily was standing next to him as soon as he reappeared from the secret chamber.

“So you’ve seen your little lover?” Emily immediately asked when she saw Han Shuo.

“Regarding those siege weapons that Bob Ascher asked for, Phoebe is completely out of the loop. Moreover, I told her everything and she will cooperate completely with our work. I think, we can conceal the fact that Phoebe is implicated in this.” As he walked out of the transportation matrix, Han Shuo retrieved the six magical sticks one by one while explaining to Emily.

“If Phoebe is truly ignorant of the situation, then she won’t be implicated in this matter. We of the Dark Mantle will definitely not treat a good person with injustice. In the future, you will know of this,” Emily resolutely replied. Then she smiled tenderly and said, “You entered her room in the middle of the night, did she not mistake you as a rapist and beat you up?”

“Of course not,” Han Shuo replied with a straight face.

Emily stared intently at Han Shuo, trying to decipher something, but she realized that Han Shuo’s expression was bland with absolutely no particular changes.

“Alright alright, let’s leave this matter as it is. I just received a message. That Belinda that you released contacted me using your method. I don’t know what happened.” After Emily realized that she could not read anything from Han Shuo’s expression, she dropped the matter and continued to talk about proper business.

Before he released Belinda, Han Shuo had left her a means to contact him and told Emily about it so that she could keep an eye on it for him. Now, when he heard her say this, he immediately replied, “That’s good. Then let’s go meet Belinda right now to see what she wants.”

Han Shuo traveled with Emily to the Dark Forest where he had previously killed the two Gryphon knights. Although he had already left some insurance on Belinda’s body, Han Shuo continued to be very cautious. He had been utmost vigilant on the way here, afraid that he would fall into one of Belinda’s schemes.

When Han Shuo entered the forest, he suddenly felt an enormous presence concealed inside.

This energy clearly did not originate from Belinda. Han Shuo immediately focused his attention and spoke softly to Emily who was right beside him, “Be careful. There’s something unnatural inside.”

Emily nodded her head and replied, “Indeed. It seems that Belinda isn’t in the forest alone. It’ll be better if we take precautions to avoid being lured into one of her traps.”

“Relax. If Belinda dares to raise a finger against us, I will make her suffer the consequences,” Han Shuo’s expression was calm. He retrieved the Demonslayer Edge from his space ring and walked towards the depths of the forest.

Suddenly, a streak of blinding lightning, as thick as a man’s arm, violently launched towards his body like a soaring dragon, zig-zagging in midair as it exploded with brilliant radiance. As it moved, some large trees around its path began to smoke with a chaotic creaking noise.

Han Shuo’s brows furrowed as the Demonslayer Edge shot out at will. With a whoosh, it leapt past the trees that blocked his path and instantly stabbed towards the top of the streak of lightning.

Amidst a string of thunderous explosions, Han Shuo’s Demonslayer Edge could sense a storm of vengeful sword aura infused with the power of lightning. Not even the Demonslayer Edge infused with Han Shuo’s demonic power could continuously withstand this kind of incredibly violent and chaotic energy. In the blink of an eye after making contact, Han Shuo was visibly unsettled as he hurried to compel the Demonslayer Edge back to his palm.

“Who’s there?” Emily, who was also very cautious at this point, called out delicately. She gripped her magic staff, her bright eyes affixed to the soaring lightning overhead.

“Calamity Church Thunder Magic Knight Johnny! I only wanted to see if the two of you have the qualifications to work with me!” From the mysterious depths of the forest, a deep voice suddenly shouted.
