324 There Are Only Two Types of Techniques (1/2)

He would never forget, never forgive, and never relent! Kill those who deserve to be killed and spare those who deserve to be spared!

The ungrateful and greedy Divine Kings of the three Divine Regions had once received many favors from his father, and the traitorous subjects who broke their oaths to pursue their own self-interest.

If he were to add anyone else to his to-kill list, it would be his so-called 'best friend,' Bartram Maganti, the young master of the Maganti family.

The Maganti family was the most powerful family that resided in their Divine Pill Kingdom. They were only slightly inferior to his royal family back in the Divine Realm.

The [Divine Book of Life] was a tightly guarded secret of his father that even he did not know until much later. How the news found its way to the ears of the Divine Kings was beyond him.

Leon was not sure if Bartram Maganti and Maganti family played any part in their downfall, but he was at least confident that Bartram had once plotted against him, making them enemies. It was also much later that he learned Bartram had been infatuated with Aria.

Leon's eyes flickered with a sharp look, and the surrounding air became oppressive as he recalled the matters of his past.

Lumi had been excited about entering Weeping Forest, but after seeing Leon like this, she behaved herself and kept very silent.

The oppressive feeling did not last for long before Leon reined it in. He was still far from taking revenge. He had to become much, much stronger.

After the oppressive feeling retracted, Lumi became slightly braver and hesitantly asks, ”Leon, Leon, are we going to go through there?”

Lumi pointed at the Weeping Forest with a hint of anticipation. The Weeping Forest was richer in Yin energy, something quite beneficial for spirits like her.

”Yeah, sorry about that. Let us go.” Leon nodded after temporarily pushing the gloomy thoughts to the back of his mind.

It was fortunate that he had Lumi to accompany him. Even if he were to be affected by the hallucinogens again, Lumi would be there to rouse him awake.

The hallucinogens do not affect spirits because they did not possess any physical bodies. However, it was hard to say whether this would remain unchanged or not after they become fully corporeal.

Leon swallowed a Poison Cleansing Pill to rid himself of the hallucinogens in his body, he summoned an invisible barrier of Divine Will to protect himself.

After they reached the Weeping Forest, Leon flew up and landed one of the Weeping Trees' top branches.

Lumi floated along his side with a curious look and asked, ”What are we doing up here, Leon?”

The Weeping Tree branches gave off a cold chilly feeling due to the dense amount of Yin energy residing inside.

”Mm! Mm!”

Lumi nodded as she plastered herself to the Weeping Tree and greedily absorbed the Yin energy. However, she did not quite understand the details. Thus, she lifted her head and asked, ”But why do we need to wait here?”

”Although we cannot really see through the Black Swamp's miasma, this spot still gives us a good view. If anyone or anything approaches the Black Swamp, we would know. There is a good chance that we will be seeing some humans if we wait patiently. They might be able to tell us where the missing people are.”

Searching blindly for the missing people did not seem like a good plan.

Since he had discovered some relatively fresh human bones among the mountain of bones in the Black Swamp, it meant that there are still other humans living in this godforsaken land.

If anyone was to know where his adoptive mother and the other missing people went, it would be these people.

”Ah, I see~ I understand now—Wait a minute, doesn't this feel like we are hiding up here?”

”That is because we are, Lumi. Sometimes, humans can be even scarier than demons. It would be bad if they turn out to be demon followers instead. But even if they were not demon followers, the possibility of them being hostile to outsiders like us still exists. So, we need to observe the situation first and act accordingly.”

”Eh? I never thought of things like that. Why are humans so complicated? Shouldn't humans be united against a common enemy like in the stories?”

Lumi's brows were cutely knitted together.

”The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows, unfortunately.” Leon sighed.

He recalled the times he spent accompanying his father on his tours around the mortal kingdoms in the lower star realms back in the Divine Realm. In those places, humans were always waging war against each other.

”With sufficient benefits, humans are willing to betray their own friends and families for their own interest, while desperation will lead them to betray their own kingdoms. As such, it would not be strange to see humans betraying their own race if their lives are at stake.”

Leon shook his head.
