The Holy City Yenom was the capital of the Angel Civilization. Millions of angels and hundreds of millions of light life forms lived there, making it impossible for Han Wu to bring the inmates with him.
The light life forms near the entrance would likely detect them long before they even approached, and the inmates would almost certainly meet an untimely death. Before heading into the city, Han Wu first ordered the inmates to find a place outside to rest and hide. He also barred them from following him.
Fortunately, Han Wu wasnât alone, as he called for Akanzor and Bart to accompany him. Neither had the dark attribute, so they wouldnât be attacked.
After going through some basic checks, the trio successfully entered Yenom.
As they walked through the city, however, it quickly became apparent that they stood out from the light life forms, garnering stares from every corner. Han Wu quickly used the Light Aspect to temporarily infuse the pair with the light attribute to avoid the strange looks.
Having the light attribute was regarded as a common denominator to gain entry into the city. His next challenge was to find the White Mane God Kingâs business associate.
The White Mane God King was a true God King, so the angel was undoubtedly of special status or position as well. Han Wu asked around based on the White Mane God Kingâs information and soon found out that the angel in question was the city lord of Yenom itself, Seraphim Aisha.
Seraphim stood at the top of the angelic hierarchy, and one required an equal standing to meet one. How could Han Wu do that? After racking his brains, he figured that his old trick of selling rare treasures would have to do.
Still, there was the matter of what he could sell. The Angel Civilization wasnât as big or powerful as the Divine Civilization, but they were by no means weak. Aisha was also a Seraphim, one of the strongest angels. What kind of treasure would interest her?
Han Wu asked Akanzor and Bart to conduct an investigation. It took them an entire day, but they eventually managed to gather some information about Aisha.
Seraphim Aisha was a noble of the Elden family, of high status even among the angels. Her family poured a staggering amount of resources into nurturing her into a six-winged Seraphim. As a way to show her gratitude, she would often go out of her way to look after them and even personally handle some of the family matters.
In other words, Han Wuâs best chance of meeting her was through the Elden family.
Han Wu searched for a suitable treasure in his inventory. Unfortunately, he didnât have much in his vault and could likely be considered one of the poorest Major Gods. This was the result of Han Wu growing too fastâhe simply hadnât had time to accumulate the necessary resources.
It was difficult for him to find an item that could attract the Elden family, but he didnât give up. Instead, he contacted the Merge Avatar to make something that angels would covet.
The Merge Avatar checked the available resources in Han Wuâs divine realm before working overtime to create a rare treasure. The result was a crystal made by merging a huge amount of Light Stones.
The crystal held no trace of impurity whatsoever. That alone made it invaluable, as it allowed light life forms to increase the purity of their own Light Energy, which would subsequently allow them to improve their skills and abilities. This made the crystal an exceptionally beneficial treasure for angels.
Han Wu retrieved the treasure from his divine realm, then sought the most famous auction house in Yenom to evaluate the treasure.
In the auction house, an appraiser sat with his head held high. His four wings marked him as stronger than the other angels. This, combined with his noble bloodline, made the appraiser extremely arrogant. He was known for destroying fake or defective items rather than simply returning them, making him an unpopular choice for appraisals.
Unfortunately for Han Wu, all the other appraisers were busy at the time, and he ended up being assigned to the four-winged appraiser.
The four-winged appraiser glanced up at Han Wu, sensing the power of light emanating from him. Han Wuâs lack of wings marked him as a light life form, which prompted a look of disdain.
Han Wu simply ignored the appraiserâs attitude and brought out the crystal.
The appraiserâs eyes were immediately glued to the treasure. Its radiant luster called to him! Angels couldnât resist items with strong or pure Light Energy.
â
Hm hm...
What can this thing do?â the four-winged appraiser asked, attitude abruptly amiable.
âYou can use it to cultivate,â Han Wu explained. âIt allows you to purify the Light Energy in your body.â
The four-winged appraiser stared in disbelief. He had never seen a treasure like this before. Impatient to test it out, he channeled a small amount of his Light Energy into it and waited.
The energy soon leaked out from the crystal for him to reabsorb. Although the overall amount had decreased, the energy had become abnormally pure.
Han Wu was telling the truth!
The four-winged appraiser marveled at the crystal as if it were a national treasure.
âAppraiser, can my crystal be auctioned off here?â Han Wu asked, breaking him out of his reverie.
Annoyance filled the appraiser at the disruption. It would be a waste to auction off this crystal, and he was already thinking about how to claim it for himself.
Expression turning serious, he shouted, âYou bastard! How dare you bring in a fake item to trick me! I will confiscate this. Now scram!â
The sudden change in attitude startled Han Wu, but it didnât take long for him to understand.
The appraiser was trying to take the crystal for himself! Han Wu couldnât possibly tolerate that!
