Back at the royal shelter, Han Sen asked to see Yang Manli for a report on recent happenings during his absence .
Because very few people owned high-class wings, Yang Manli was off having a quick look at the Mystery Island . They hadn't attacked the royal shelter there yet, due to their lack of the necessary strength .
There were many creatures flying down from that place, however, which had resulted in a few casualties across the ice fields . But fortunately, they had managed to kill a good number of the beasts that had caused trouble for them .
Right now, the humans that were too weak to fight were under curfew and prohibited from leaving the shelter . Elites who went out to hunt had to do so in large parties, in fear of being attacked by the rogue flying monsters .
As for the royal shelter on the Mystery Island, not much was known . No one had dared to venture near it, so it was not known what the spirit inside looked like .
Yang Manli and a few of her trusted allies were now near it, and they watched many big flying creatures circle around the spirit shelter . Following this latest reconnaissance, they decided to return .
"Let's discuss how we plan to deal with the royal shelter at a later date; for now, you should rest . " Han Sen knew discussions were pointless . With the weakened forces of the ice fields, and the lack of evolvers that could fly, attacking the royal shelter would be futile no matter how many conversations were held .
Although it was a bit of a waste, Han Sen could only bring the silver fox there with him . The greatest chance of conquering the place would be to fly up there by himself, fox in hand, venture to the spirit hall, and kill the spirit residing there .
But that would still be a near-impossible task . If the spirit in the royal shelter flew away, it'd still be around the ice fields providing many resources .
"Boss, did you kill Chen Ran?" After everyone left, Zhu Ting stayed and asked Han Sen with a low tone of voice and a droopy face .
"I don't know . " Han Sen did not admit it or deny it .
There was no point in denying it . Even if Chen Ran's people had not run off, there were still many people who knew he was coming after Han Sen . The most likely conclusion of what transpired would have still been the same .
But Han Sen was not willing to admit it, no matter what people thought . Besides, no one had seen Han Sen kill Chen Ran, and his body had already been cremated .
Zhu Ting, with a conflicted expression, looked at Han Sen and said, "Chen Ran was one of the few elders in the Chen family . He was a scarily powerful evolver and evil of heart . His passing at your hands would be a great shock to the Chen family . They won't dare trouble you here, in the safety of a shelter's walls, but out there? In the wild? You should be wary . "
"I didn't kill him . Even if I did, would they dare to kill a member of the Alliance?" Han Sen was not afraid of the Chen family .
Han Sen was a member of the Special Security Operations Team and had since become leader of the ice fields . No matter how powerful the Chen family was, killing Han Sen was impossible .
"It may be difficult for them to deal with you, on a surface level, but you know them . There is much strife between members of the Chen family . While others are partial to doing it, many do not wish to offend the Jin and Qin families . " After a brief pause, Zhu Ting continued, saying, "But Chen Ran had a real brother . He is a surpasser, and a powerful figure of the Chen family . He is the sort who is keen on the prospect of revenge . If he can't kill you publicly, there are many other ways he could go about it . "
"Give me an example," Han Sen said .
"I'm not sure of any method he might try, but I just want you to be careful, that's all . " Zhu Ting shook his head .
"You are from the Chen family; are you not afraid or upset that I killed Chen Ran?" Han Sen gave Zhu Ting a strange look .
Zhu Ting wore a wry smile, and he said, "I am nobody to them . I am just a faceless bastard to a family who has plenty of children and grandchildren of their own to take care of . A bastard can never be treated on the same level . Do you know why I had to learn Deadly Perfume?"
Han Sen watched Zhu Ting intently, allowing him to explain .
"The Chen family owned a country during a certain planet's era . It was ruled as a monarchy . Since time immemorial, kings have been subject to many assassination attempts . Many are killed by poison; that is why there are designated food testers . They taste the food, to confirm there are no poisons within . Deadly Perfume was taught to the people who performed that task . If what they consumed contained poison, their body would release a perfume . If the poison wasn't too strong, the tester could live due to the teachings of Deadly Perfume . If the poison was too much for the defense provided by Deadly Perfume, the tester would end up dead . "
"Deadly Perfume is quite powerful; few poisons can breach its protection . Isn't that right?" Han Sen asked .
Zhu Ting shook his head and said, "Poisons used to kill kings are never so simple . The reason Deadly Perfume was so powerful is because of how often these incidents occurred . Every time a new poison was discovered, Deadly Perfume would be altered and improved to defend against it . Across the countless generations Deadly Perfume has existed, heaven knows how many deaths were sustained to bring it to where it is today . "
"Only the servants of the Chen family can learn Deadly Perfume, where only real members of the Chen family can learn the exclusive Qi Gong Seven Twists . Do you still think I am considered a Chen?"
Zhu Ting sighed and proceeded to say, "Chen Jiu Ling commanded me to find a way in which I might kill you . But I know there is no way for me to do that . I cannot return with my mission incomplete and so, I will never return to the Chen family . I can only remain hidden in this shelter, never again venturing beyond its walls . "
"You stay here, then . As long as you are on the ice fields, and even if members of the Chen family do show up, they won't be able to lay a finger on one hair on your head," Han Sen sympathetically said, secretly unsure whether or not this was a ploy of Zhu Ting . Was he being truthful? Han Sen did not know . But having Zhu Ting on his side was more useful than not . For now, he could continue working for Han Sen, while being comforted at the same time .
After Zhu Ting left the room, Han Sen departed the shelter . He found a place where there was no one around, summoned his wings, and flew up towards the Mystery Island with the silver fox in hand .
With the silver fox near, the flying creatures did not venture close and his passage to the Mystery Island was unhindered .
This Mystery Island was far larger than the one he saw in the First Shelter . You could see from afar a black metal shelter in the middle of it, like some crouching goliath .
It was far smaller than the royal shelter that had belonged to Princess Yinyang, and swathes of horrific beasts circled the skies around it . He could tell this spirit shelter was far stronger than the previous one he had striven to conquer .
But the creatures were merely set dressings to Han Sen, right now . Holding the silver fox, Han Sen proceeded onwards as the hordes of creatures parted to provide a path . Upon reaching the front gate, he walked inside .
Perhaps it was because this shelter was on a floating isle, but every creature that populated this island had the ability to fly .
There were giant birds, tigers with wings, creatures with four wings, and even a giant snake that writhed its way across the rooftops had a pair .
