"Corey, it's indeed been a while. But I didn't come to Kasi Empire this time to find trouble with your Shrine of Ice, nor did I intend to preach the doctrines of our Druidic Order in Kasi Empire. There's no need for you to muster such a large force just for me, right?" The old man named Kelly looked at Ice Celestial Corey with a faint smile, as though he was facing a formidable foe. He did not seem to fear this character of the Shrine of Ice.
Han Shuo knew that not only did Ice Celestial Corey have absolute power over the Shrine of Ice, but even in Kasi Empire, His Majesty of Kasi Empire would have to heed his words.
That was because Ice Celestial Corey was the oldest elder of the Pillon Imperial Family!
For so many years, the Pillon Family had firmly grasped the power of Kasi Empire. Every rebellion in Kasi Empire was swiftly suppressed. This was directly related to Ice Celestial Corey. Even the current King of Kasi Empire knew what Ice Celestial Corey meant to the Pillon Family and the Kasi Empire.
"It can't be helped. You don't leave the headquarters of the Druidic Order easily. Now that you have suddenly descended upon our Kasi Empire, I can't help but think that you are here to seek revenge!" When Corey treated Kelly, he displayed due respect. Although his actions contained murderous intent, he was still courteous on the surface.
The Shrine of Ice had the absolute initiative in Kasi Empire. Ever since the founding of Kasi Empire, the Shrine of Ice had been the state religion of Kasi Empire. For many years, the Shrine of Ice had used its unparalleled influence in Kasi Empire to destroy all religious organizations that were in conflict with it.
The Druidic Order, as a religious organization with influence all over the Profound Continent, had also suffered a devastating blow in Kasi Empire. To this day, there was not a single shrine of the Druidic Order left in Kasi Empire. Even followers of the Druidic Order rarely appeared in Kasi Empire.
It was precisely because of the extreme practices of the Shrine of Ice that the experts of the Druidic Order, who had always stood aloof from worldly affairs, flew into a rage. It seemed that they had secretly fought with the Shrine of Ice. Han Shuo wasn't too sure what the outcome was, but he knew from some Dark Mantle records that the Druidic Order held the upper hand for a short while.
However, Ice Celestial Corey, as an elder of the royal family of the House of Pillon in Kasi Empire, had the support of the entire Kasi Empire. The Druidic Order were naturally no match for the Shrine of Ice in a prolonged battle in Kasi Empire. Although the Druidic Order held the upper hand in the short term, in the end, their forces were completely driven out of Kasi Empire.
Just from the fact that Casey could not find a single church of the Druidic Order, it could be seen that the two churches were at odds with each other. This time, the arrival of the Druidic Order's Kelly, who possessed at least demigod strength, was clearly noticed by Ice Celestial Corey and immediately snuck over.
"Citizens of Kasi Empire, please leave the auction house immediately. The rest of today's auction program can be rescheduled!" Suddenly, Snow Celestial Tiana, who had been standing at the top of the auction house, gently called out.
Inside the auction house, the noisy chatter abruptly quietened down after the representatives of the Shrine of Ice appeared. When they heard Corey's words, they gradually understood some clues. Upon hearing Tiana's words, each and every one of them looked terrified. Without saying a word, they cautiously and quietly left the auction house.
In Kasi Empire, some of the true bigwigs were well aware of who was behind the fanatical religious believers of the Shrine of Ice. Obviously, they would not go against the largest organization in Kasi Empire. Some minor nobles who did not understand the identity of the Shrine of Ice and Ice Celestial Corey, who could not even afford to provoke the Shrine of Ice on the surface, naturally left obediently.
Moreover, the situation inside the auction house was completely different from before. Just now, it was only Han Shuo who made the first move. With sacred knight Sulo here, in addition to the fact that Han Shuo had yet to truly go for the kill, they stayed behind with the attitude of watching a good show.
However, when the fanatical religious believers of the Shrine of Ice appeared, they understood that today's matter was by no means as simple as it seemed. In particular, the grudge between the Shrine of Ice and the Druidic Order was something that everyone in Kasi Empire vaguely understood. Many nobles had once learned of the carnage these two religious organizations had stirred up in Kasi Empire many years ago.
Therefore, when they discovered that today's matter was related to the long-standing grudge between the two churches, they immediately understood that there would be a bloody battle in this auction house. As people of high status, they naturally would not be exposed to unknown dangers at any time in this place. Therefore, the wisest choice was to run as far away as possible.
The Druidic Order was a religion that believed in nature and valued life. They never advocated the indiscriminate killing of the innocent. Therefore, although Kelly and Lilian knew that Snow Celestial Tiana was doing this to deal with them without any misgivings, they did not make a move and use these people to threaten the Shrine of Ice.
"Old … Old Ancestor!" Braque, who was on the third floor, had once been informed of the relationship between the Shrine of Ice and the House of Pillon by his father. He had even seen the magical image of Ice Celestial Corey. When Braque came down from the third floor, he suddenly discovered that Ice Celestial Corey was the legendary character of the House of Pillon that even his father revered like a god, Ice Celestial Corey.
Although Ice Celestial Corey very rarely left the Shrine of Ice, he knew the members of the House of Pillon and some personnel changes like the back of his hand. So much so that several of the most important personnel changes were personally ordered by him before the king of Kasi Empire carried them out.
When Braque's cry of surprise rang out, Ice Celestial Corey was first taken aback. Soon after, he gave Braque a few glances and revealed a rare smile, saying, "You are little Braque, right? Haha, not bad, kid. Work hard! "
"Yes, Old Ancestor. Old Ancestor actually knows me?" Upon hearing Ice Celestial Corey's praise, Braque, who had always been gloomy, actually became uncontrollably excited. He looked at Ice Celestial Corey with excitement, practically forgetting who he was.
Nodding, Ice Celestial Corey smiled and said, "Hmm, you should leave too. You don't have to stay in this place!"
If it were anyone else, even if it were the king of Kasi Empire or Braque's father who said those words to him, Braque might still be a little stubborn. However, when faced with the most legendary character of the House of Pillon, Braque did not put up the slightest resistance. He respectfully performed a family salute towards Corey, obediently uttered a "yes", and obediently walked out.
From beginning to end, both Kelly and Lilian of the Druidic Order helplessly looked at the Shrine of Ice's arrangements. Not a single one of them made a move to stop them, nor did they capture any hostage to threaten the Shrine of Ice.
Such was the doctrine of the Druidic Order. They were not the kind of people who would resort to unscrupulous means to achieve their goals. Just like how Lilian knew that the 'Hand of Goddess' of the Druidic Order was in Han Shuo's hands, even though she thought that Han Shuo was just an ordinary fatty, and that she had Kelly by her side, she still humbly pleaded with Han Shuo, intending to use an open and aboveboard transaction to exchange for the 'Hand of Goddess' in Han Shuo's hands. She did not use Kelly's exceedingly formidable strength to threaten Han Shuo.
The Druidic Order was a truly pure religion on Profound Continent. They were kind, upright, and did not have too much ambition. They believed in nature and fairness.
Han Shuo observed for a moment. In addition to his previous contact with the great druid Caspian, he naturally had a favorable impression of the Druidic Order. If not for the 'Viride Leaf' having such an immeasurable effect on wood elite zombie, perhaps Han Shuo really wouldn't have made things difficult for them.
Sighing in his heart, Han Shuo looked at Kelly, and then looked at Ice Celestial Corey who was standing at the entrance, blocking the way. He suddenly came to a decision.
By this time, many of the people in the auction house had already walked out. Even Braque, under the indication of his elder, Ice Celestial Corey, was making his way outside. When sacred knight Sulo discovered the arrival of Ice Celestial Corey, he greeted Sulo from afar. Soon after, taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, he ferociously signaled Sophie, who was in disguise. The resoluteness in his eyes simply did not allow Sophie to refuse.
Sophie understood from Sulo's gaze that Sulo was truly enraged this time. She understood her father's temperament all too well. She knew just how severe the consequences would be if she did not comply with Sulo's wishes under such circumstances.
Therefore, as the crowd surged outside, Sophie stealthily shot a meaningful glance at Han Shuo. Then, regardless of whether Han Shuo had received her signal or not, Sophie secretly sighed in her heart and squeezed through the crowd to head outside.
Han Shuo obviously saw Sophie's signal. Without batting an eyelid, he lowered his head and concealed the enormous energy of his consciousness. Then, he carefully concealed the energy of his entire body as well, lest Ice Celestial Corey discover this enemy whom he hated even more than the Druidic Order.
Having made up his mind, Han Shuo no longer stayed where he was. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to him, he appeared to be a little panicky and uneasy, and slowly walked out like any other ordinary person.
All of a sudden, that tyrannical, murderous, unparalleled appearance of his had vanished without a trace. It was as if he had become the most ordinary fatty in the crowd. There was nothing extraordinary about him.
As Han Shuo blended into the crowd, looking a little timid as he made his way outside, the female druid Lilan gazed at Han Shuo's back with a hint of disdain on her face. She thought to herself, How could such a domineering and domineering character turn into such a coward in front of the Shrine of Ice?
However, Kelly, who had been paying close attention to Han Shuo, revealed an incomparably astonished expression when he first saw Han Shuo become so timid. But as Han Shuo made his way outside step by step, Kelly's face turned into a half-smile as he looked at Han Shuo with some amusement.
