GDK 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?”

“That Celestial Pearl Pharmacy is really, really terrifying! I was occupied with that woman and then a teenager abruptly appeared. That teenager had pursued me from the Pharmacy all the way to the stone forest. I just couldn’t shake him off. After battling him, I discovered that I am no match against him!” explained the person called Leon in a fearful manner and a frightened face. “If that woman and that teenager were to join forces, I’d have been killed. I finally now believe what you have told me previously - that Bryan ought to have similar strength as yours!”

Leon had suffered a crushing defeat in his attempt to raid the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy. His soldiers were all killed and he nearly suffered the same fate. It was a huge blow to him, both physically and mentally. It appeared that he might even just forget about avenging the death of his younger brother.

Baum coldly groaned after hearing those words. He said, “Leon, have you forgotten who killed your brother? Are you going to tell me that you won’t be taking revenge for your brother?”

Leon forced a smile and then let out a sigh. He replied, “I want to avenge his death. But, if I were to persist, I’m afraid that my entire family clan will be joining him! City Lord, the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy is too strong for me to handle. If you do not have complete certainty, please, do not drag my family clan into the mess!”

“Don’t you worry about it. I understand the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy much better than you do. Tonight, at the very least, you have managed to figure out their true strength. The next time that we strike, it will not end up like this. Rest assured, I will only look for you when I’m certain that we can utterly crush them!” consoled Baum. After taking a short pause, he asked, “Tell me about that teenager - how he looked, his strength, energy, temperament - I want to know everything.”

“He looked at fifteen or sixteen years old. He has a rather bewitchingly handsome face. He cultivates in the energy of death but his divine energy is rather peculiar. It was not pure but its power was very frightening! He’s uncommunicative and doesn’t talk at all. From his looks, he should have killed plenty of people before. Ah yes, his attacks were incredibly ruthless. Every strikes his make was to kill. Truly a frightening teenager!” fear could be seen on Leon’s face when he talked about Little Skeleton.

Baum started to share Leon’s uneasiness as he listened to the explanation. But for some reason, the more he heard, the more he felt that he had come across the description of this person before. Then, suddenly, someone came across his mind. His face jolted and he softly cried out, “Could it be him?”

“Who?” Leon was stunned and he immediately asked, “City Lord, do you know who he is? What’s his origin? For all the ages I have lived on Elysium, I have never heard of anyone who possessed such terrifying strength at such a young age. Does Your Lordship know?”

“Nothing. You focus on healing your injuries and get to full health. For now, you should avoid going outside as much as possible. I will look for you when I have a surefire plan in place!” Upon finishing those words, before Leon could ask any more questions, Baum hurriedly left the villa. He vanished in the blink of an eye.

Han Shuo was very happy about Han Hao or Little Skeleton’s arrival. For several days in a row, he had been staying with Han Hao, Han Tu, and Han Huo, discussing all kinds of random things. Han Shuo had also told Han Hao about his understanding and recent discoveries in demonic arts.

Although Han Tu and Han Huo were there, for some reason, the two understood nothing about the demonic arts that Han Shuo taught. They also did not show any interest in cultivating demonic arts. Han Shuo thought that there was no point in forcing the two to cultivate demonic arts if they did not want to. Therefore he spent most of the effort on Han Hao.
