The news of Hofs' right arm being chopped off spread across the entire Darkness Dominion in no time at all. All the City Lords and family clans were secretly discussing what happened in Hushveil City. All of a sudden, Han Shuo and Rose became the most eye-catching characters in the Darkness Dominion.
Although Han Shuo and Rose had turned Hushveil City upside down, no one in Hushveil City had ever seen Han Shuo. Therefore, until now, no one in Hushveil City knew who Han Shuo and Rose were. According to the guesses of all the major family clans in Hushveil City, Han Shuo and Rose were from the House of Sainte.
Wallace and Andre, of course, knew that the House of Sainte had nothing to do with the incident. They came forward to refute the rumors, claiming that they had nothing to do with the incident in Hushveil City. With that, the situation became even more confusing.
After Hofs' right arm was chopped off, he kept a low profile. He paid no attention to the happenings in Hushveil City and went into seclusion to recover from his injuries. Without Hofs' explanation, the rumors grew more and more complicated. Unknowingly, the image of Han Shuo and Rose became more and more terrifying.
* * * At the Sainte Residence in the City of Shadows.
Wallace and Andre were dealing with yet another wave of questions from other City Lords. Those City Lords wanted to know if the two who caused such a huge commotion in Hushveil City were from the House of Sainte.
"Who could it be?" Wallace put on a dark face and said, "Although Hofs is the weakest of the seven City Lords, he still possesses late-stage highgod strength. Who would have thought that one of his arms would be severed in the territory of Hushveil City? How unbelievable!"
"Why would he kill Avery and Hassling? What enmity do they have with him? "Andre was also full of doubts.
"No matter what, the deaths of Avery and Hassling are beneficial to us. It's no wonder that everyone suspects our family clan to be the culprit!" Wallace laughed involuntarily and continued, "Although I can defeat Hofs in a one-on-one fight, I don't have the confidence that I can escape from so many experts of Hushveil City and even kill so many Hushveil City divine guards. That fella is too amazing!"
"Big brother, could it be Brian?" Andre bunched his brows and said, "In the City of Shadows, other than our family clan, only Brian, Avery, and Hassling have a grudge against each other. Brian is an expert in concealment and has outstanding means of escaping. But recently, Brian has disappeared mysteriously. Could it be him?"
"Impossible!" Wallace smiled and shook his head. He glanced at Andre and said, "That kid's strength isn't bad, but it's not that bad, right? Impossible! Impossible! How could he cut off Hofs' right arm? I know Hofs' strength very well! "
"That's not necessarily true!" Andre said with a straight face, "We still haven't figured out Brian's true strength. As the daughter of the Goddess of Destiny, Andrina was able to sense her hidden strength. But if Brian hadn't attacked in the banquet hall, who would have known that he was so terrifying?"
Andre took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice, "Big brother, if it really is Brian, what should we do?"
Wallace kept silent for a moment before he replied, "If it really is Brian, that would be even better!"
"But what about Hushveil City?" asked Andre hesitantly.
"Hofs has been injured and Hushveil City has lost too much strength. Why would I be afraid of him?" Wallace coldly groaned and said, "I haven't even settled the score with Hushveil City for hiding Avery. How dare he provoke us?" After taking a short pause, Wallace let out a soft chuckle and continued, "If it really is Brian, there shouldn't be too many problems. When I met the Overgod of Darkness last time, I mentioned Brian to him. When the Overgod heard that the Goddess of Destiny had taken the initiative to express goodwill to Brian, he instructed my family clan to treat Brian well. What problem do you think he would have?"
"The Goddess of Destiny sure is influential!" Andre thought for a moment before he praised in a low voice, "That kid sure is lucky!"
"Alright, even if it really is Brian, it won't matter," said Wallace smilingly. "But we must be worrying too much. That kid doesn't have that much power!"
…
The uproar in the outside world naturally spread to the Han family. When Sanguinar, Bollands, Gilbert, and the others heard the news, they immediately knew that Han Shuo was the culprit.
The reason was simple. When Han Shuo left with the three, he happened to bring Rose with him. Also, before Han Shuo left, he said that he was going to do something. He even felt that the three would get in his way and did not bring them along.
After comparing the incident at Hushveil City, the three immediately realized that it was Han Shuo and Rose who did the earth-shattering deed in Hushveil City. The three were pleasantly surprised. They were extremely impressed by Han Shuo's strength.
Soon enough, Emily, Phoebe, Statholme, Ayermike Cotton, and the other important figures of the Han family learned the truth from the three. Statholme, Ayermike Cotton, and Emily knew what to do. They immediately forbade the three from spreading the news but discussed it in private.
The divine guards of the Fifth Corps had also seen Rose. However, as there were many white-haired women in the Darkness Dominion and they did not know much about Han Shuo, they did not think that Han Shuo was the culprit. Therefore, only those in the Han family knew the truth.
A month later, Han Shuo and Rose returned to the City of Shadows.
During this period of time, Han Shuo collected many rare and precious medicinal herbs from Elysium and refined many medicinal pellets to nourish his demonic infant. After a month of recuperation, the demonic infant gradually recovered. However, it would still take some time for it to fully recover.
Unlike the demonic body, the demonic infant was the foundation of a demonic art cultivator. It would be very troublesome to recover once it was damaged. This was also why Cauldron Spirit immediately withdrew its energy from Han Shuo as soon as the demonic infant was damaged.
While Han Shuo used all kinds of medicinal herbs to nourish his demonic infant, he constantly practiced fusing two domains of divinity. During this period of time, Han Shuo had found the knack of fusing two domains of divinity. He understood that once the divine souls of his avatars and the main body were aligned, he would be able to fuse the two domains of divinity.
Han Shuo had yet to fully understand the specific uses of the new domain of divinity. However, he knew that the new domain of divinity could rival Hofs' domain of divinity. After the previous battle, Han Shuo had found a new direction of cultivation – fusion of energies!
After a month of exploration, Han Shuo discovered that in the new Domain of Divinity, any boundary energy released by his avatars of death and destruction would increase several-fold. The speed of elemental energy absorption was also much faster than before. The Domain of Divinity also possessed a domineering and invasive nature.
Han Shuo and Rose arrived at the City of Shadows before he could completely familiarize himself with the new domain of divinity. As Rose's silver hair was too eye-catching, to avoid being noticed, Han Shuo asked Rose to cover her long hair with a green headscarf. This way, her most eye-catching features would be hidden.
Han Shuo himself had heard some of the rumors that had been spreading around Hushveil City. He did not expect that he would become famous so quickly and become the center of attention of everyone in the Darkness Dominion. He found it rather strange.
When Han Shuo arrived at the Han residence, he immediately calmed down when he saw that the Han family had taken on a brand new look.
Rose seemed to be very curious about the scenery of the Han family. The decorations that were native to Profound Continent were to Rose's liking. She suddenly felt that even in a bustling and bustling city, life was not completely boring.
However, what made Rose feel more at ease was Han Shuo. After spending some time with Han Shuo, Rose had gradually gained a better understanding of Han Shuo. She discovered that although she and Han Shuo had a master-servant relationship, Han Shuo had never treated her as a servant. He never yelled or ordered her around. Instead, he was very amiable.
In times of crisis, Han Shuo, as the master, would take the lead and bear the burden. He would never let her, a servant, bear any burden. This made Rose less worried about the slave relationship between the two. Instead, she felt that it wasn't a bad thing to have such a relationship.
After Han Shuo returned to the City of Shadows, Sanguinar, Han Shuo, Emily, Statholme, Statholme, and the others immediately came out to greet Han Shuo. Soon enough, they arrived at a secret chamber to discuss what had happened after they parted ways.
Nothing major happened in the City of Shadows. The only major event was that the Seventh Corps competition was about to begin. Those from the City of Shadows were very curious about Han Shuo's experiences in Hushveil City. They kept asking about Han Shuo's situation in Hushveil City.
Han Shuo knew that with Sanguinar, Han Shuo, and Han Shuo present, it was impossible for the crowd not to know that he was the one responsible for the incident in Hushveil City. Therefore, Han Shuo gave a brief account of what happened. Emily and the others kept glancing at Rose. They were secretly astonished by this silver-haired beauty's terrifying strength. They had no idea how Han Shuo managed to subdue such a beauty.
"From today onwards, she is a member of our Han family!" Han Shuo declared as he pointed at Rose.
"Master, all the materials for the Eight Desolation and Torment Formation have been transported to Hushveil City. Should we find the largest gymnasium and deploy it?" asked Gilbert.
Upon hearing Gilbert's words, Emily, Statholme, and the others displayed great interest. The divine guards of the Fifth Corps and Sanguinar, Han Shuo, and Han Shuo had informed them of the Eight Desolation and Torment Formation. They were all prepared to enter and temper themselves in it.
Most of the divine guards who entered the Eight Desolation and Torment Formation had more or less improved their strengths. Every one of these divine guards from Profound Continent had decent aptitudes. After undergoing the tempering of the Eight Desolation and Torment Formation, they would surely gain a deeper understanding of the Formation and improve their foundations.
"Alright, let's reconstruct the Eight Desolation and Torment Formation in the Han family. Hehe, this time, the power of the Formation will be even greater. If Sanguinar and the other two are interested, I can let them have a taste of the attack of a highgod soul!" After obtaining so many divine souls from Hushveil City, including a few highgod divine souls, the Eight Desolation and Torment Formation would become even more powerful. Naturally, it would also be more effective in tempering the Eight Desolation and Torment Formation.
