GDK 824: I made these
Han Hao had run away because he did not want to meet Baum at this moment. Although Baum was a cultivator of the space edict, without knowing the precise location, it was difficult for him to locate a person.
As soon as Han Hao left the region, he turned himself into a shadow and concealed the terrifying aura of his body. He deliberately moved towards populated and crowded regions, mixing his aura with gods who were cultivating in gymnasiums. This would confuse Baum’s senses and make it very difficult to lock onto Han Hao’s precise location.
Baum carefully sensed for Han Hao’s aura and when he found something, he would instantly teleport to the location through his command over the energy of space. However, he would always fail to get Han Hao.
After doing so several times, Baum noticed that he was getting closer and closer to the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy. To avoid Han Shuo’s suspicion, Baum decisively gave up on pursuing Han Hao and retreated.
*** At the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy in Ethereal City.
Upon returning, Han Shuo noticed that there were bodies lying all around the shop and Han Huo and Han Tu were examining the bodies while muttering something. He was shocked when he saw the body of that highgod whose cranium had been punctured. Han Shuo moved like a shadow and appeared beside Han Huo and Han Tu.
“What happened? Was there a highgod?” asked Han Shuo as he leaned over to examine the body.
“Two highgods. One early-stage and one mid-stage. Even Rose can’t stop them!” explained Han Tu.
Han Shuo’s face jolted and he looked at Han Huo and Han Tu with astonished eyes. He asked in a confused tone, “How did this one die? The mid-stage one should be busy fighting Rose. And the early-stage one, he shouldn’t be one that you two can fight, right?” No one understood Han Tu and Han Huo’s strengths better than Han Shuo. Although the two had a great understanding of the energy of earth and fire, the realm they were at limited their firepower. Therefore, logically speaking, they should not be able to fight a highgod.
“Our eldest brother killed him!” Han Huo said excitedly, “After such a long time, our eldest brother has become so powerful that he killed this early-stage highgod in just a moment! This cunt couldn’t even fight back! Haha! Father, elder brother is now pursuing the other highgod. I reckon he will be back soon!”
“What? He killed this highgod in a moment?” cried Han Shuo in surprise.
In Han Shuo’s mind, Little Skeleton was still that small and thin little kid. He did not expect Little Skeleton to grow so powerful in just several decades. The fact that Little Skeleton could kill an early-stage highgod in a moment meant that he was at least one realm above the raider.
Back then when Han Shuo separated with Little Skeleton, they possessed only lowgod strengths. To become more powerful than an early-stage highgod meant that his strength had been improving at around the same rate as Han Shuo’s.
For all these while, Han Shuo had assumed that the Five Elite Zombies would grow faster than Little Skeleton as the Five were born from the Places of Extreme Yuan and they had obtained the Five Elemental Yuan Treasures. Having all those innate advantages, it was only reasonable that the Five Elite Zombies would be stronger than Little Skeleton.
But unexpectedly, not only that Little Skeleton wasn’t weaker than the Five Elite Zombies, he had been leading far ahead in strength. Moreover, this gap in strength seemed to be growing wider.
“Father, these raiders came soon after you left. I think that fella who asked to meet you is involved!” said Han Tu. He wanted to inform Han Shuo of his suspicions as soon as possible.
“Tell me what happened in detail,” Han Shuo took a deep breath to temporarily cast aside his excitement about Han Hao and started focusing on the matter at hand.
After Han Tu and Han Huo narrated the entire incident once through, Han Shuo’s suspicions over Baum grew even greater. It was also at this moment that the demon general that had been surveilling Baum detected an intense spacetime fluctuation from the gymnasium Baum used for meditation.
Han Shuo was astonished. He immediately commanded the demon general to get closer to the gymnasium and sensed for a moment. Through the demon general, Han Shuo discovered that Baum had disappeared from the manor house. As the demon general could not tear apart spacetime to pursue Baum, Han Shuo could not know where Baum went and who he met.
Han Shuo replayed Han Tu and Han Huo’s narration in his head and connected it with Baum’s unusual movement right now. His suspicion over Baum grew ever stronger. But as he had temporarily lost track of Baum, Han Shuo knew only half of the picture.
At this moment, Rose who heard Han Shuo’s voice came out from the gymnasium she lived in. She walked to Han Shuo and gave him some more details of the story. She then remarked, “That kid of yours is very powerful. He is now pursuing the raider. I think he might be able to discover something. I do not know any of the faces of those who have died here. I wonder which forces they were from.”
“Thank you for protecting my children!” Han Shuo said to Rose sincerely. He was touched that Rose put her life on the line to give Han Tu and Han Huo an opportunity to escape.
“You are my master. It is my duty to obey your orders!” Although Rose still wore the same emotionless face on the outside, she was secretly delighted to hear that from Han Shuo.
“Father, this woman has pretty decent strength and is much more powerful than your other women. Not only that, she is even very docile to you. Hehe, why don’t you… “ Han Huo took a glance at Rose before he softly suggested to Han Shuo in a mischievous smirk.
Although Han Huo had lowered his voice as much as possible, Rose was standing just a few steps away. As a highgod, there was no way that she did not hear those words of Han Huo’s.
A light glistened from her eyes when she heard Han Huo’s suggestion. Although she looked as though she didn’t care what Han Huo said, her hands, however, were grasping each other very tightly out of nervousness.
“Don’t say that!” Han Shuo frowned at Han Huo and chided in a low voice, “Our relationship isn’t what you imagined. We are just friends. After a hundred years, she will be free to go. You better cut saying this kind of nonsense from now on!”
