It took Han Shuo five days to reassemble the Eight Desolation and Torment Formation. Han Shuo deployed the Eight Desolation and Torment Formation under the largest training ground in the Han Residence. He deployed nearly nine layers of boundaries around it. Six energy towers were specifically used to provide energy for the nine layers of boundaries, concealing the soaring killing intent that overflowed from the Eight Desolation and Torment Formation.
The Han Family was the only ones who knew about the Formation. Most outsiders would not be able to enter the training ground without permission. Even if they did enter the training ground, without the guidance of the Han Family, they would not be able to find the entrance to the Formation.
As soon as the Eight Desolation and Torment Formation was completed, those who came from Profound Continent impatiently entered it. Even Sanguinar and the other two were encouraged by Han Shuo to enter the Formation to temper themselves. When the new Eight Desolation and Torment Formation was under the control of Cauldron Spirit, it opened up many small dimensions. Each of the dimensions contained a different power.
Han Shuo only came out after the Eight Desolation and Torment Formation was completed. Statholme and the others entered the Formation to cultivate. Han Shuo did not have to worry too much about his safety in the City of Shadows. He temporarily left the Cauldron of Myriad Demon in the Formation to train those who entered.
After Rose arrived at the Han Residence, he arranged for her to stay in a secluded and secluded building. Rose was very quiet. She shut herself in the room and didn't come out. Han Shuo didn't have to worry about anyone recognizing her.
After returning to the City for a few days, those in the House of Sainte had urged him several times to finish deploying the Eight Desolation and Torment Formation. Inevitably, Han Shuo paid a visit to the Sainte Residence.
As the competition between the Seven Corps divine guards was just around the corner, Carmelita was not forced by her father to continue cultivating. After arriving at the Sainte Residence, the first thing Han Shuo did was chat with Carmelita about her recent life. Carmelita complained about how boring her days were.
When Carmelita asked Han Shuo what he had been up to recently, Han Shuo told her that he was in Fort Lasberg and did not mention anything about what had happened in Hushveil City.
Carmelita had also heard about what had happened in Hushveil City. However, she clearly did not suspect Han Shuo. Instead, she enthusiastically discussed the chaos that had befallen Hushveil City with Han Shuo. She sincerely admired Han Shuo and Rose who had caused everything that had happened in Hushveil City.
When Han Shuo heard Carmelita praising him without the slightest scruple in front of him, he felt a little strange. He chatted with Carmelita for a while before going to see Andre.
"The competition of the Seventh Corps is about to begin. Since you have requested to participate, you should prepare in advance!" After Andre asked Han Shuo to sit down, he went straight to the point. However, his eyes were fixed on Han Shuo as he probed, "Where did you go previously?"
"I was in Fort Lasberg. Hehe, Fort Lasberg now belongs to my Han family. Of course, I have to manage it well," replied Han Shuo calmly. Han Shuo replied calmly. Andre's inquisitive gaze made Han Shuo realize that Andre was suspicious of him. His and Rose's actions in Hushveil City had been too conspicuous and they would not be able to hide it for long. Han Shuo was still hesitating whether or not he should tell Andre everything.
"Brian, something big has happened in Hushveil City. Do you know about it?" Andre's eyes were fixed on Han Shuo. He suddenly put on a warm smile and said, "I don't know why, but I have a feeling that what happened in Hushveil City has something to do with you. Others, including my elder brother, don't think that you are capable of doing such a thing."
Han Shuo's heart skipped a beat. However, he maintained a calm and natural expression on his face. He replied with a faint smile, "Lord Andre, you really think highly of me!"
Andre's pupils contracted. He nodded and replied in a low voice, "That's right! Over the years, I've always been a very accurate judge of character. But even after spending so much time with you, I've never been able to discover your true strength. If you hadn't chased after Portlem in the banquet hall, I'm afraid that I wouldn't have known that you possess highgod strength! "
After taking a short pause, while Han Shuo was pondering with his brows bunched, Andre continued, "So far, you are the only person who has managed to fool my senses. Therefore, I believe that it is not wrong to think highly of you!" After keeping silent for a few seconds, Andre looked deeply into Han Shuo's eyes and softly asked, "Brian, can you tell me the truth? Were you behind the incident in Hushveil City? If you were the culprit, our City of Shadows must take precautions against the possible consequences! "
Han Shuo looked at Andre in a daze. Han Shuo could sense sincerity from Andre. He knew that Andre had no ill intentions towards him. The House of Sainte and his Han Family shared the same interests. Avery and Hassling, whom Han Shuo had killed, were enemies of the House of Sainte. From this perspective, Han Shuo's actions could be said to have fulfilled the wishes of Andre and Wallace.
No matter how he looked at it, the House of Sainte would protect him. Besides, it was only a matter of time before his actions in Hushveil City were discovered. Han Shuo knew that there was no need for him to hide anything from Andre. Han Shuo grinned and did not admit to anything. He took out two glassware from his space ring.
Inside the glassware were the heads of Avery and Hassling!
Andre did not need to explain or prove anything. With just a glance at Avery's head, he immediately knew that Han Shuo was the culprit behind the incident in Hushveil City. Although he was somewhat mentally prepared, he was still shocked when Han Shuo took out Avery and Hassling's heads.
Andre took a deep breath. His voice was somewhat different from before as he said, "It's really you! It's really you! Oh my god, this is unbelievable! "
Han Shuo was rather surprised by Andre's reaction. He had thought that Andre must have sufficient evidence to make such a solemn statement. But after seeing Andre's shocked expression, Han Shuo immediately realized that Andre was just guessing.
Andre widened his eyes and looked at Han Shuo. The astonishment on his face lasted for a long time. Eventually, Andre took a deep breath and calmed his emotions. Immediately, he said, "Come, let's go to my elder brother's place. The incident in Hushveil City has gotten out of hand. We must discuss it with my elder brother!"
Soon enough, Andre led Han Shuo to Wallace, the City Lord of the City of Shadows.
Without saying a word, Andre placed Avery and Hassling's heads in front of Wallace. Then, he pointed at Han Shuo with a strange smile.
Wallace stared blankly for a moment before his eyes lit up. He looked at Han Shuo with even more astonishment than Andre. He cried out in surprise, "It's you?!"
Han Shuo calmly admitted to it and nodded.
Wallace was also dumbfounded by Han Shuo's admission. He stared at Han Shuo for a long time before he forced a smile and nodded. He mumbled to himself, "Unbelievable, unbelievable. Even I have misjudged you. It's really you!" After taking a short pause, Wallace cried out in surprise, "How did you do it?"
Han Shuo stared blankly for a moment before he shrugged and replied, "Just like that."
"Elder Brother, I think we should handle this matter appropriately. Hofs of Hushveil City is a mad dog. He will not let this matter rest. We should prepare in advance!" Andre said in a deep voice.
"Don't worry. For the time being, no one will know that the incident in Hushveil City was caused by Brian," Wallace suddenly put on a smile and said. Wallace suddenly put on a smile and said, "Over the past few days, some of the major cities' family clans that have a grudge against the House of Hofley have claimed that they were the culprits behind the Hushveil City incident. Three major family clans are willing to bear Hofley's wrath.
It was Han Shuo's turn to be surprised by those words. He forced a smile and asked, "What are those people after?"
"The name!" Wallace explained, "To be able to cut off Hofs' right arm, kill so many people in Hushveil City, and then escape unscathed. Is this something that just anyone can do? For those family clans, admitting to the incident in Hushveil City would mean that their family clan's name would immediately resound throughout the Darkness Dominion. Many experts might even go to their family clan to seek refuge with them. With that, their family clan's strength would rapidly increase! "
"Brian, you might not know how much influence your actions in Hushveil City have in the Darkness Dominion!" Andre put on a smile and continued, "In the Darkness Dominion, some women even deliberately dye their hair silver. That woman who was with you has become the object of many people's desire to imitate her. Don't you think it's very interesting?"
Han Shuo laughed involuntarily. He did not expect that his and Rose's actions in Hushveil City would have such a huge impact.
"Therefore, you don't have to worry for the time being. Those family clans have attracted too much attention. As long as you don't jump out with Avery's head and say that you are the one who did it, no one will suspect you!" Wallace comforted Han Shuo. He smilingly said, "It seems that there will be a big change in the ranking of the Divine Guard Chiefs of the Seven Divine Guard Corps."
Andre nodded and replied, "Aobashi has always been the strongest among the Divine Guard Chiefs. I reckon that this time, she will be ranked second!"
Han Shuo's ability to cut off Hofs' right arm and create rivers of blood in Hushveil City was not something that Aobashi could do. It was only natural that Andre and Wallace would think so.
"Andre and I will not tell anyone about what happened in Hushveil City. Tell those around you to keep quiet as well. For the time being, there won't be any trouble." After taking a short pause, Wallace continued, "Now that you have killed Avery, the position of Chief of the Fifth Corps is firmly in your hands. You must take the competition of the Seventh Corps seriously. Defeating Aobashi will greatly benefit your Han family. As for the competition of the Seventh Corps, you don't have to worry about it. After all, your Fifth Corps doesn't have many experts!"
It seemed that Andre and Wallace were certain that the Fifth Corps would come in last in the competition of divine guards. Erebus and Aobashi were of the same opinion.
"Got it!" Replied Han Shuo with a nod. After discussing some details with Andre and Wallace, Han Shuo left the Sainte Residence. In his mind, he was thinking about how he should surprise the Fifth Corps divine guards who came out from the Eight Desolation and Torment Formation.
The Fifth Corps divine guards had made breakthroughs in all aspects after going through the Eight Desolation and Torment Formation. They had great teamwork and coordination. In a team battle, they would be the most terrifying team. Han Shuo believed that they would not disappoint him.
