"Han Shuo, where are you? Lord Crosius has sent an emissary to urge you to go to the War Demon Grand Hall as soon as possible to discuss important matters, "Hemanna immediately panicked when she saw Han Shuo after emerging from the underground chamber.
Hemanna was obviously in awe of Crosius. In War Demon Valley, Crosius was the local tyrant with absolute authority. Hemanna was afraid that Crosius would blame Han Shuo for this matter. Therefore, she appeared extremely worried.
Time was divided in the Abyss realm differently from that on Profound Continent. One day in the Abyss realm was equivalent to half a month on Profound Continent. Based on what Brakyah said two days ago, Han Shuo understood that he must have stayed in the underground chamber for a month.
"No worries, I'll head over now," Han Shuo was unruffled. After scanning the surroundings with his consciousness, he smilingly asked, "Where's Sylph?"
"She's still inquiring about you. As she doesn't know where you are, the two of us split up. I'll stay here and wait for you, "Hemanna replied.
"Hmm, it seems that I should have notified the two of you in advance. The next time I go missing, don't be in such a hurry to look for me. I'll be back before long," Han Shuo said to Hemanna, a little embarrassed. He then strode outside and said, "Come, come with me. Let's see if this meeting is over." "The War Demon Grand Hall is the most majestic building in the center. I can take you there, but I can't accompany you into the War Demon Grand Hall because I'm not qualified to do so.
I'm sorry, "Hemanna apologetically explained to Han Shuo as she followed Han Shuo towards the War Demon Grand Hall. The hierarchy in the Abyss realm was very strict. If one's strength hadn't reached a certain level, there was no way one could get along with people of the same level.
Hemanna and Sylph, the two alien girls, only possessed the strength of Destroyers. Obviously, they weren't qualified to participate in the meeting at the War Demon Grand Hall. This was the rule of the Abyss realm. After hearing Hemanna's explanation, Han Shuo didn't insist and quickly headed towards the War Demon Grand Hall with her.
This was the rule of the Abyss realm. After hearing Hemanna's explanation, Han Shuo didn't insist and quickly headed towards the War Demon Grand Hall with her.
On the way to the War Demon Great Hall, Han Shuo inspected his body with his divine sense and discovered that his main body had suffered some injuries. His Demonic Infant had also suffered some damage. However, after going through this dangerous battle, his willpower had become even more tenacious. Compared to the minor injuries that the demonic infant had suffered, the benefits he had obtained were simply immeasurable.
At present, Han Shuo's demonic body art only had the strength of a demigod. But of his two avatars, one possessed the strength of a basegod of death, while the other was even more terrifying, having reached the lowgod realm of destruction.
Han Shuo's strength had far exceeded that of the past after his three souls coexisted. If he were to return to Profound Continent now, Han Shuo believed that the six-horned tribal king of the Soul Race and the Saintess of the Church of Light would have no chance of escaping alive.
On Profound Continent, perhaps only the Primordius Dragon with unfathomable strength could put up a fight against Han Shuo. Han Shuo had always been thinking about this hatred that was buried deep in his heart.
"Captain Nambrough, so you are the one in charge of guarding the door. Han Shuo is late this time. May I know if the meeting is still going on?" Hemanna asked hurriedly when she saw the captain of the Shero Brigade standing solemnly in front of the most majestic building.
Nambrough was as cordial as ever when he saw Han Shuo again. He looked at the two anxiously and said to Hemanna, "Lord Crosius had informed Mister Han Shuo long ago and sent someone to invite you again. Why are you only here now?"
"Captain Nambrough, my master is indeed a little late this time. Can he still go in?" Hemanna asked anxiously after hearing Nambrough's words.
"I will bring Mister Han Shuo inside. You wait outside," Nambrough replied before he turned to Han Shuo and said, "Mister Han Shuo, please follow me."
Han Shuo nodded smilingly. He did not have the slightest awareness that a latecomer should have. He followed behind Nambrough unhurriedly and asked nonchalantly, "How long has the meeting been going on? Who are the participants? What issues are they discussing? "
"It's been some time. The six Rakshasas and a few distinguished visiting advisors are all here. They are mainly discussing how to deal with Venomfang Castle's attack." Nambrough's Shero Regiment had been rescued by Han Shuo previously. Nambrough naturally took special care of Han Shuo. He then added, "Venomfang Castle's troops have been approaching our War Demon Valley over the past few days. Some of our patrols in the outskirts of War Demon Valley have been eliminated. I reckon that it won't be long before Venomfang Castle launches an attack on War Demon Valley. This time, Venomfang Castle is aided by demon king Golander's Shadow Warriors. The future of our War Demon Valley is bleak!"
"Shadow Warriors? Are they really that powerful? That terrifying?" Han Shuo creased his brows and asked.
It was as though there was an invisible pressure shrouding Han Shuo at the mention of Shadow Warriors. Nambrough forced a smile and nodded, saying, "Shadow Warriors are demon king Golander's strongest guards. Every Shadow Warrior possesses the strength of a Demon. The most powerful among them are even more powerful than our Lord Crosius. The destruction that a Demon can cause is beyond your imagination. Sigh, it's a pity that His Lordship's message to Black Jade City was a little too late. I'm afraid we won't be able to wait for the reinforcements that Lord Manticole dispatched. "
As he spoke, Nambrough and Han Shuo quickly climbed up several dozen floors and arrived before a heavily guarded giant stone door. Nambrough gestured for Han Shuo to wait for a moment before he went in alone to make his report. After the interval of a few breaths, Nambrough waved at Han Shuo, and Han Shuo took the opportunity to enter the meeting venue.
The place was extremely spacious. There was an enormous oval-shaped table at the center, with some wide stone chairs scattered around it. Right at the front, Crosius, who was as imposing as a boulder, sat proudly in the chairman's seat. The dignified and imposing manner of a superior was on full display.
The seat next to Crosius was occupied by the head of the six Rakshas of War Demon Valley, Qunoa. The other five seats were occupied by demigod experts wearing the medal of Rakshasa. Brakyah, the level-two Rakshasa whom Han Shuo taught a ruthless lesson the last time, was also among them.
Below the six Rakshas were the seats for the visiting advisors. Han Shuo had never seen any of these visiting advisors before. He had no idea where they suddenly popped up from. There were a total of five visiting advisors. Three possessed demigod strength, while the other two were only slightly weaker. They should have been summoned at crucial moments.
These five visiting advisors were obviously different from those in the district where Han Shuo resided. They should be treated better. From the way Crosius looked at them, Han Shuo could tell that these five visiting advisors were highly valued.
As soon as Han Shuo appeared, everyone in the hall cast their gazes on him. Among them, Qunoa shrugged at Han Shuo from afar and revealed a bitter smile as a greeting. Brakyah, on the other hand, smiled faintly and nodded in greeting. However, his eyes carried a hint of schadenfreude, as though he was waiting to see Han Shuo make a fool of himself.
The other experts of War Demon Valley, who were meeting Han Shuo for the first time, had astonished expressions on their faces. While secretly observing Han Shuo, no one knew what they were thinking.
In a remote corner of the hall, Crosius' daughter, Jasper, stood tall and slender. She held a thick notebook in her hand and seemed to be writing something down. When she saw Han Shuo approaching, she stealthily shot Han Shuo a look of caution before continuing to write at a rapid pace.
From Hemanna, Han Shuo learned that Jasper had always played the role of a recorder. She would always take part in every important meeting held in War Demon Valley. However, the Abyss realm was a place where the strong were revered. Although Jasper was Crosius' daughter and had a legitimate excuse to stay in the great hall, she could only record from afar. Moreover, she had to stand.
She did not possess sufficient strength. The fact that she could stand here was already thanks to her father, Crosius. She did not have the qualifications to sit down!
In front of Han Shuo, Crosius looked at Han Shuo with a somewhat cold expression. He said with displeasure, "I had Brakyah inform you in advance and sent someone to invite you before the meeting began. I didn't expect Mister Han Shuo to put on such airs. Mister Han Shuo has only just arrived when our meeting is about to end!"
After hearing Crosius' words, Han Shuo really did feel a little embarrassed. After all, Crosius had indeed done his best. Han Shuo had been delayed for so long due to the battle of the souls, and his arrogance when he first met Crosius had obviously left a very bad impression on Crosius.
The Abyss realm was a place that paid great attention to ranks and respected the strong. Crosius could still tolerate Han Shuo's arrogance the first time they met. However, Crosius had notified Han Shuo in advance twice. In the end, he was still late. From this point, it could be seen that Han Shuo had maliciously broken the rules. This was something that Crosius could not forgive.
"Mister Han Shuo, you are also a visiting advisor of War Demon Valley. You should understand some of the rules. Lord Crosius has been taking good care of you. Dropping the ball at a critical moment is not something a visiting advisor should do. Oh, right, I forgot to tell you that I am the chief visiting advisor of War Demon Valley. From now on, you will listen to my instructions. Understood? " As soon as Crosius finished speaking, a two-headed, four-armed alien standing below the six Rakshasas said to Han Shuo in an eccentric tone.
He looked like a conjoined twin. From the front, he had the face of a man, a burly man. However, from the back, he had the face of an enchanting woman. His chest even had two towering peaks. He had the characteristics of a woman. When he spoke, he spoke in unison, mixing the voices of a man and a woman. It sounded eccentric and indescribably awkward.
He was the strongest among the visiting advisors. Even when compared to the second-in-command of War Demon Valley, Qunoa, he wasn't much inferior. As he spoke, he twisted his body. The two faces, one male and one female, who shared the same neck, turned their heads and looked at Han Shuo. It was an extremely strange sight.
"My apologies. I've just arrived and haven't fully adapted to the flow of time in the Abyss realm. When I was training, I accidentally missed the time." Han Shuo only looked at Crosius and explained nonchalantly. As he spoke, Han Shuo walked towards the oval table, as if he hadn't heard the words of the chief visiting advisor at all.
"Forget it. You have just become a visiting advisor of War Demon Valley. Perhaps you still don't understand the rules of War Demon Valley. I won't hold it against you for the first time, but if it happens again, I won't be so good-tempered." Crosius stared deeply at Han Shuo for a few moments and softly snorted. He didn't do anything to Han Shuo at such a critical moment. However, if it were during peaceful times, Crosius, who had slaughtered his way to the position of master of War Demon Valley, would definitely not let things go so easily.
"Thank you!" Han Shuo casually replied. When he walked to the seating area of the council, he looked at the lowest seat. His brows were tightly knitted at first. Then, as if he had thought of something, he revealed a faint smile and walked to the head of the visiting advisors. He said naturally, "Androgynous fella, make way for me!"
The few Rakshasas and visiting advisors who were originally whispering about how Crosius had changed his temperament suddenly fell silent upon hearing Han Shuo's words. The great hall of the council abruptly became so quiet that even the drop of a pin could be heard.
"What, what did you say?" The chief visiting advisor was obviously a little dumbfounded. He looked at the male face of Han Shuo in astonishment.
"Androgynous fella, make way for me. Don't you understand human language?" Ridiculed Han Shuo. As soon as he finished those words, Han Shuo gently pressed his left hand on the shoulder of the chief visiting advisor. The aura of destruction from the Demonslayer Edge instantly poured into his body. All the experts in the entire hall immediately felt a terrifying evil energy of destruction, violence, and plunder.
The soul within the Demonslayer Edge possessed the strength of a lowgod. However, Han Shuo did not activate it all at once. Instead, he gradually increased his strength from demigod level. By the time the aura of basegod was released, the chief visiting advisor who was barely holding on could no longer hold on. His face was filled with fear as he stood up tremblingly. In an extremely wronged tone, he said, "I … I can't make way for you. You're so fierce … you scared me to death …"
This time, Han Shuo spoke in a pure female voice. The male's mouth was completely shut. However, the male's face had the strange, bashful and timid look of a little girl.
Han Shuo was a little creeped out by the weirdness of the chief visiting advisor. He sat on the seat that Han Shuo had forcibly snatched from him. His eyes, however, were looking at the enchanting female figure on the back of the alien. He did not know whether to laugh or cry.
"Mister Han Shuo, from today onwards, you are allowed to be late for any meeting. Crosius, the master of War Demon Valley, suddenly looked at Han Shuo with a pleasantly surprised face and said resolutely, "This is the new rule of War Demon Valley, and it is set specifically for you!"
