The third petal’s eyes widened. "You can get rid of xtra curses?” “As long as its the parasite curse, I can,”“Swear, if I follow you, you will get rid of...” “Either you follow or watch them burn. I am not going to make unnecessary oath and bound myself,” Huno said. “But I can promise you, I’ll get rid of the parasites,” The third petal stared at Huno for a while, before nodding. Huno smiled and pulled the third petal’s robe. He bit the tip of his finger and placed it on the hole in the chest. Chains made of blood wrapped around the third petal before wrapping around Huno’s wrist. Huno nodded at the phoenix. “I can refine the blood now,” The phoenix tossed the third petal away, before enveloping Huno with its fire body. A portal opened beside the third petal and three people were brought out. Bing Yu and two Meling on the first petal, Yamato and Haru. “The three of you obey her until I come out,” Huno said just before the flame enveloped him completely. “Kiri

Elta remained quiet. Her breathing became uneven again. Her aura fluctuated more violently and she coughed blood.“Hey! Relax,” Bing Yu said touching different part of Elta’s body trying to correct the flow of energy in her meridians. “Tell me...” Bing Yu stopped in her tracks, she was interrupted by the change of event. Elta’s eyes had turned black and her body was emitting a black energy. “Qi deviation! No, no,” Bing Yu performed some hand seals and tapped Elta’s chest. Immediately the energy in Elta’s body ceased to flow and Elta spat out blood.... “Alright, the next one,” Huno said to Shin. They were moving houses into Hacel. Shin raised a compound like before but turned to Huno. “Something is wrong,” “What is?”“Have a look yourself,” Shin said and Huno’s surroundings changed. Bing Yu and Elta were in front of him and he heard Bing Yu say.“Qi deviation! No, no,” He noticed the demon Qi around that was flowing out of Elta’s body. Bing Yu hi

~Location Unknown~“Uncle, who are they?” a little boy asked.“Oh, they are the imperial guards. They are gods who come to our aid when the army can’t protect us,” the uncle replied after looking up.“They are gods?”“Yeah boy. Remember this, never offend one. They can kill you without lifting a finger,”“Uncle, for real?”“Killing everyone in this city will take them less than a minute,”“Wow. You said the last headcount was over eight hundred thousand, right?”“Yeah. Let’s get back to work,” The little boy gazed at a group of people floating in the air. Dressed in pure white garments were three men and two women. “Uncle, aren’t we supposed to bow or worship like in the shrines?” the boy asked.“True, when you are in front of gods, bow and worship. But the imperial guards do not mind. They do what they do, not caring whether we bow or not. Among the gods, they are the most humble and righteous,”“Oh, how many gods are there?”“Too many to count my boy,”“Can we become gods?”“

“Hmm,” Huno growled slightly. It was dark and he could barely see.“Are you alright?” Elta’s voice sounded beside him. Huno sat up and realized he wasn’t on the ground but on a bed. “Yeah, I’m good,”“Kiri told me everything, I’m sorry,” Elta said. “For? Come on sweetie, I won’t be stuck in this realm forever,” Huno said, forcing a smile.“I really hope so,” Elta muttered, her gaze wavering as look him in the eye. She knew what it meant to fail a baptism. Huno pulled her closed and kissed her. “Relax, I found a way, twice before, I will find a way now,” he reassured her.“Okay,” “Where are we?”“In Hacel. By the way, little Ya has been worried about you. She has been worried sick for the past seven months,” “Seven months?” Hunk’s eyes widened.“Yeah. You slept for seven months,” “Cleo, Kiri,” Huno called out but got no response.“They are handling something, somewhere in Hacel,” Elta said. “Oh, what are they doing?”“Preventing Luna’s energies from breaki

“Calm down, I’m not here to do that,” Huno said.“Thank you uncle,” “You’ve almost used up the lightning, that’s good,”“Uncle, why are you here?” “I want to get stronger and I need your help,”“With what uncle?” Bing Ya asked, her expression perplexed. Huno threw a storage ring at her and remained quiet. Bing Ya caught it and checked its content. “Uncle, is this not the technique master bought?” “Yeah, I don’t know if she has read it but you should read it,”“Okay uncle,” Bing Ya brought the technique out, poured her divine sense in and quietly read through it. Huno looked at her for a while and closed his eyes and hummed.“Uncle this is…” “A dual cultivation technique,” Huno interrupted. “I want to let you know, you and I will cultivate it, either willingly or by force,”“Uncle this… Can I ask master first?”Huno shook his head. “No, you can’t,” Bing Ya urged her energy and glared at Huno. “If uncle is going to force me to do this, then I rather die,”
