The City of Gorging Clouds, the leader of the seven major cities of the Darkness Dominion, was undoubtedly the strongest.
Larikson, the younger brother of Yarus, the City Lord of the City of Gorging Clouds, cultivated in the edict of destruction and was a late-stage highgod.
Of the seven cities of the Darkness Dominion, the City of Gorging Clouds had the most highgods. Yarus' House of Broadhurst was the oldest and most powerful family clan in the Darkness Dominion. They were highly regarded by the Overgod of Darkness.
The City of Shadows was ranked among the Seven Cities of the Darkness Dominion, only slightly stronger than Hushveil City which was ruled by Hofs. The City of Shadows was considered the weakest among the seven cities. Compared to the City of Gorging Clouds which was ranked first, the City of Shadows was far behind.
In the City of Shadows, the strongest expert was Wallace, a late-stage highgod. Other than him, there was no other late-stage highgod in the City of Shadows. However, the City of Gorging Clouds was different. The patriarchs of the major family clans in the City of Gorging Clouds all possessed late-stage highgod strength. It was said that the City Lord of the City of Gorging Clouds, Yarus, possessed strength beyond that of a highgod.
Of course, he was an Overgod without a Quintessence.
When Han Shuo learned that the five people who ambushed him, other than Field from the House of Lavers, were from the largest family clan in the City of Gorging Clouds, the House of Broadhurst, he was astonished.
Having lived in the City of Shadows for so long, Han Shuo had more or less learned about the situation in the cities of the Darkness Dominion. Naturally, the City of Gorging Clouds and the House of Broadhurst, the strongest family clan in the Darkness Dominion, would not miss the opportunity to ambush them. Therefore, when Field shouted the name of the shorty, Han Shuo immediately knew the identity of the three highgods he killed.
After giving it some thought, Han Shuo realized that after the House of Lavers left the City of Shadows, they had arrived at the City of Gorging Clouds through various means and obtained the protection of the House of Broadhurst. They had also made a secret agreement with Yarus' brother, Larikson.
With the arrival of the House of Lavers in the City of Gorging Clouds, the City of Gorging Clouds' strength continued to soar and lead the other six cities. With the protection of the City of Gorging Clouds, even if Field were to do something detrimental to the City of Shadows, Wallace would have to think twice. The City of Gorging Clouds couldn't be compared to Hushveil City which ranked last. Whether it was in terms of overall strength or the relationship between Yarus and the Overgod of Darkness, Wallace couldn't compare to the City of Gorging Clouds.
Although Wallace dared to offend Hofs of Hushveil City because of Han Shuo, it was hard to say if Wallace would dare to offend the House of Broadhurst of the City of Gorging Clouds.
With a gloomy face, Han Shuo stood up from his cross-legged position. The demon general that had discovered the truth of the matter returned to where it came from under Han Shuo's command.
Even demon generals refined from highgods had limited coverage on Elysium. If the demon general was too far away from Han Shuo, the connection between the two would become extremely weak. Without Han Shuo as its master, the demon general would kill anyone it saw. If the demon general was so far away from Han Shuo that the connection between the demon general and Han Shuo was cut off, the demon general would continue killing aimlessly until it was killed.
Therefore, Han Shuo did not order the demon general to follow Han Shuo.
Rose noticed that Han Shuo was wearing a rather grave expression. After hesitating for a moment, Rose asked in a low voice, "What's wrong? Did you run into a problem in your cultivation? "
She did not know that Han Shuo had left a drop of blood essence on Larikson, nor did she know that Han Shuo had figured out who the assassins were. She only thought that Han Shuo was recovering his energy and that Han Shuo had run into some problem in his cultivation.
Rose's concern warmed Han Shuo's heart. As the two spent more time together, Han Shuo noticed that Rose's attitude towards him had gradually changed. This change was something that Han Shuo was happy to see. Han Shuo temporarily cast aside his worries and shook his head smilingly. He replied, "It's nothing. I was too engrossed in my thoughts just now."
The threat from the House of Broadhurst was a heavy burden that even Han Shuo was apprehensive about. If he told Rose about it, she would only be more worried. The heavy pressure might affect Rose's cultivation. Therefore, Han Shuo did not intend to tell anyone about it. He was prepared to bear the pressure alone.
As the head of the family, he had to consider the interests of the entire family. Han Shuo, who had been tempered for a long time, was not afraid of any pressure. He believed that the threat of the House of Broadhurst wouldn't be able to crush him. In fact, it might even become his motivation to work harder!
"Oh, that's good. There's no need to think too much about it. In any case, three of the assassins are dead. The other two won't be able to harm you this time and they won't have the chance to do so next time. You don't have to worry about it at all. " Rose was no fool. After carefully observing the changes in Han Shuo's expression, she knew that Han Shuo was not having trouble in his cultivation.
Han Shuo put on a bright smile and nodded. He used the demon generals in the vicinity to observe the situation of the divine guards. When he saw that none of the divine guards of the Fifth Corps had strayed more than a hundred miles away from him, he felt relieved. Before learning that the enemy was the House of Broadhurst of the City of Gorging Clouds, Han Shuo was not worried that the enemy would dare to attack. But now that he knew the truth, he was no longer so confident.
The City of Gorging Clouds was simply too powerful. If the House of Broadhurst intended to attack him, the Han family would not be able to withstand a single blow.
"By the way, Rose, do you know any powerful gods? I mean, experts who are not affiliated with any major family clans. They are at least highgods. It doesn't matter if they are aliens or not, "Han Shuo suddenly asked.
Rose stared blankly for a moment. She looked at Han Shuo strangely and asked puzzledly, "Why do you suddenly ask about that?"
The Han family currently had sufficient crystal coins and their influence in the City of Shadows was rapidly expanding. If the Fifth Corps and the Seventh Corps were to emerge victorious in the competition, Han Shuo believed that there would be more midgods coming to join the Han family and the Fifth Corps. He believed that there would be no shortage of gods of this level in the future.
At present, apart from Han Shuo and Rose, the Han family did not have a single highgod. One of the most important factors in determining whether a family clan was powerful or not was the number of highgods they had. In order to increase the strength of the Han family as soon as possible, Han Shuo had no choice but to make preparations as soon as possible.
Before today, Han Shuo wasn't in a hurry to increase the strength of the Han family because if Han Shuo's strength were to rapidly expand, he might come into conflict with the House of Sainte. Although the House of Sainte was the current master of the City of Shadows, if the Han family grew strong enough to threaten the House of Sainte, Han Shuo's relationship with the House of Sainte would definitely not be as harmonious as it was now.
However, the threat posed by the House of Broadhurst was just too great. In order to shorten the distance between him and a major family clan as soon as possible, Han Shuo couldn't care less.
"You have stayed on Elysium for so many years. You must know many gods who are as eccentric as you, right? Whether they are friend or foe, tell me everything you know. I want to communicate with them, "Han Shuo said sternly.
"What are you planning to do?" Rose put on a puzzled expression. She couldn't figure out Han Shuo's intentions.
"The Han family's foundation is too weak. I want to increase the strength of the Han family as quickly as possible," Han Shuo said in a deep voice.
After hesitating for a moment, Rose said, "There is a place where there are many experts. It is a very chaotic place. There are many highgods and even overgods without the Quintessence. If you want to find highgods who are not affiliated with any family clan, that place is the best place. However, it is very dangerous. "
"Where is it?" Han Shuo was delighted and hastily asked.
"The Fringe!" Rose softly cried out and explained, "It is located between the Space Dominion and the Destiny Dominion. It does not belong to any of the Twelve Dominions and is not governed by any overgod. The Space Dominion and the Destiny Dominion didn't forbid any gods from entering. Gods who had committed heinous crimes would seek refuge in the Space Dominion and the Destiny Dominion. Although the Space Dominion and the Destiny Dominion didn't forbid gods of any kind from entering, there were still some special rules. But the Fringe is different. It is located between the Space Dominion and the Destiny Dominion. It is the most chaotic and lawless place on Elysium. It is not under the control of any overgod. There, whoever has the biggest fist has the most weight. I used to stay in the Fringe for a period of time and was nearly killed several times. I came to live in the Darkness Dominion because I cultivate in the energy of darkness. "
"The Fringe?" Han Shuo put on a faint smile and said, "The name alone tells me that it is an interesting place." After taking a short pause, Rose continued, "Even you were nearly killed in the Fringe?"
"I still remember the few people who tried to kill me. Once I have the confidence to kill them, I will seek revenge on them!" Rose said hatefully. She was a little embarrassed at the mention of the Fringe.
"You don't have to wait too long. After the competition between the Seven Corps is over, I will take care of the Han family in the City of Shadows. Then, I will go to the Fringe with you. I will avenge you!" Han Shuo promised Rose.
Rose put on a rather strange expression when she heard that Han Shuo would avenge her. She looked deeply into Han Shuo's eyes before she lowered her head and said softly, "Thank you!"
"Hehe, the two of us have gone through thick and thin together. You are one of my people. Of course, I will avenge you!" Han Shuo put on a faint smile.
After hearing Han Shuo's words, Rose's expression turned even stranger. Her delicate and pretty face turned a little red. She cried out in a low voice, "I'm not one of your people!"
Han Shuo stared blankly for a moment before the smile on his face widened. He sized up the seductive Rose and teased, "I don't mean anything else. Don't get the wrong idea!"
Rose's face turned even redder. She glared at Han Shuo with some resentment before lowering her head and ignoring Han Shuo.
Han Shuo suddenly felt much better. He did not expect that Rose would be so interesting. But seeing that she seemed to be angry, Han Shuo did not continue to tease her. He put on a mischievous smile and said, "Alright, alright. Let's hurry to Soaring Cloud Mountain Range. I can't wait any longer!"
After dealing with the five ambushers, they did not run into any more trouble. Six days later, Han Shuo and his Fifth Corps finally arrived at Soaring Cloud Mountain Range.
