In Witherbone City, in front of the Kiaran Family, and in front of so many gods, Sha-t 'o, one of the most powerful figures in Witherbone City, was cruelly skinned by Bollands. In just a short while, Sha-t' o's miserable screams had died down. His body twitched for a while and he stopped moving.
Although there were many onlookers, under the terrifying pressure that Han Shuo deliberately released, none of them dared to rush to their deaths. Those gods who had participated in the attack against the House of Han were trembling with fear and their eyes were flickering.
The death of Sha-t 'o had clearly excited the members of the Han family who had been humiliated for a long time. Even though they had absolute trust in Han Shuo, they did not expect that Han Shuo's strength had grown to such a terrifying level. Hill and the group of top-notch experts of Witherbone City could only watch. They did not dare to take a step forward.
"Who else?" Han Shuo looked at Emily and asked.
Emily looked at the onlookers with a murderous gaze and pointed at Hill, the City Lord of Witherbone City. "This man is the City Lord of Witherbone City. Without his support, Sha-t 'o would not have dared to do as he pleased!" Emily had heard from Dagassi that Hill had played a key role in the entire incident.
Hill had played an important role from the very beginning. Without Hill's secret support, Sha-t 'o would not have dared to openly attack the Han family in Witherbone City.
When the Kiaran Family and the Han family established a Celestial Pearl branch in Witherbone City, Sha-t 'o had communicated with Hill. Hill had also received a share of the profits from the Celestial Pearl branch in Witherbone City. When the news of the Han family's request for help reached Witherbone City, the ambitious Hill was not Sha-t' o but Sha-t 'o.
"What does that have to do with me?" Seeing that Sha-t 'o was dead, the anger of many members of the House of Han had subsided. Hill had thought that the matter had been resolved and that he would not be implicated. He had not expected that Emily would point her finger at him.
As the Lord of a City, Hill shouldn't have panicked like this. However, he had sensed the unparalleled energy from Han Shuo's body and saw Sha-t 'o being skinned and his bones pulled out in front of him. Sha-t' o's miserable screams that didn't sound human were still echoing in his ears. He had lost his composure.
He sized Hill up and asked, "Tell me, should I trust you, or my men?" "That's right, I'll trust you, or my men?"
Hill's heart sank. He knew that there was no point in trying to explain. Judging from Han Shuo's attitude towards Sha-t 'o, he knew that Han Shuo was not a soft-hearted person. Hill immediately discarded all his unrealistic fantasies and treated Han Shuo as the most terrifying enemy in his life.
"Brian, this is Witherbone City. I am the City Lord of Witherbone City. How dare you kill me?" Hill pondered for a moment before he glared at Han Shuo and shouted. The fear on his face seemed to have vanished. It was as though he had turned into a different person.
As expected of the Lord of a City, Hill quickly adjusted himself in a situation where there was no way out. He was no longer a yes-man, but focused all his energy on dealing with Han Shuo. First, he dispelled the fear he had for Han Shuo.
Han Shuo stared blankly for a moment. He did not expect that Hill would dare to yell at him at this moment. He thought to himself, Although Hill is only slightly stronger than Sha-t 'o, he has been a City Lord for a long time.
However, from Han Shuo's point of view, even if Hill was the City Lord of Witherbone City and was surrounded by countless divine guards of Witherbone City, it would still be a piece of cake for Han Shuo to kill Hill. Han Shuo could not understand where Hill's confidence came from.
"Oh?" Han Shuo's face turned cold. He bluntly asked, "Why wouldn't I dare to kill you? Do you really think that those divine guards around you can protect you? "
Hill heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Han Shuo was still in the mood to ask questions. He was afraid that Han Shuo would not give him the chance to explain and would kill him like how he did to Sha-t 'o. If that happened, Hill's eloquence would be in vain.
"Sha-t 'o is just a patriarch of a family clan. He does not have the qualifications to meet the Overgod. The Overgod would not care whether he lives or dies. But I am different. I am the City Lord of Witherbone City. I am the most loyal servant of the Overgod of Death. The Overgod has left a brand in my soul. If you attack me, the Overgod of Death will not let you off!" Hill stared at Han Shuo and hastily explained the reason he had prepared beforehand.
Upon hearing those words, the members of the Han family turned pale with fright. The Witherbone divine guards around the Han family were emboldened. They thought to themselves that the City Lord was right. No matter how powerful Hill was, if he were to kill the City Lord, he would not stand a chance. The City Lord was the City Lord of Witherbone City appointed by the Overgod. If Hill were to kill the City Lord, he would definitely incur the wrath of the Overgod.
The wrath of an Overgod could shake heaven and earth. No one on Elysium would dare to provoke an Overgod!
"Brian, why don't we … just let it go …" Emily put on a nervous face and said to Han Shuo in a low voice.
She was the one who asked Han Shuo to kill Hill. But after hearing Hill's words, she was the first to stop Han Shuo. The might of an Overgod was deeply rooted in her heart. She knew what it meant to be an Overgod. Therefore, she would rather endure the humiliation than let Han Shuo become an enemy of an Overgod because of them!
"Brian, don't be impulsive. Sha-t 'o is dead anyway. Just let it go …" Statholme the old monster also advised. He knew very well how powerful an Overgod was. The Han family would be able to walk out of this predicament. He did not want Han Shuo to be killed by an Overgod because of this matter.
Unless it was an Overgod of another force, no one would dare to provoke an Overgod who possessed a Quintessence and ruled over an entire Divine Dominion. Every member of the Han family understood this. They all tried to persuade Han Shuo, hoping that Han Shuo would let Hill go.
"Haha, it seems that your Han family are quite sensible. Brian, I admit that you are very powerful and no one in Witherbone City is a match for you. But you should really think twice before you act. If I die, you and the Han family will not be able to walk out of the Death Dominion!" Hill hastily struck while the Han family were still submissive. He hoped that Han Shuo would give up on killing him.
Han Shuo wore a dark face as he stared at the complacent Hill. He knew that Hill was not just trying to scare him. If he really killed Hill, the Overgod of Death would very likely retaliate.
A series of thoughts flashed through his mind as he weighed the pros and cons over and over again. He took a deep breath and resisted the urge to kill Hill immediately. He nodded indifferently and turned to the House of Han, "Come, let's get out of the city!"
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief. Not just the Han family, but even the divine guards of Witherbone City and Hill himself felt as though they had just taken a trip to the gates of hell. They understood that if Han Shuo were to attack Han Shuo recklessly, Hill would definitely die. However, the Overgod's Mark in Hill's divine soul could very well attract the Overgod of Death. The consequences would be unimaginable.
"I am very sorry about what happened to the Han family in Witherbone City. It was not my intention," said Han Shuo. Hill felt his entire body relax when he saw that Han Shuo was leaving. He did not dare to provoke Han Shuo at this moment lest Han Shuo recklessly attack him. His attitude couldn't be any better.
Hill waved his hand and gestured to the divine guards surrounding the place to make way for the members of the House of Han. The House of Han would be able to leave unimpeded.
Han Shuo did not say a word. He wore a gloomy face and led the way out of Witherbone City. Wherever he went, the Witherbone divine guards would automatically take a few steps back. It was obvious that they were very wary of Han Shuo.
All the members of the Han family followed closely behind Han Shuo. None of them said a word as they walked out of the Kiaran Residence. The next morning, they arrived at a city gate of Witherbone City.
It seemed that the divine guards in charge of Witherbone City had long received the news. Before the Han family arrived, they had already opened the city gate. The divine guards stood far away from the city gate and waited for the Han family to pass through.
Under Han Shuo's lead, the members of the Han family walked out of Witherbone City without encountering the slightest obstruction.
"Sanguinar, are you really going to let that Hill go?" After half a day, when the Han family had left Witherbone City, Sanguinar finally couldn't help but ask Han Shuo after hesitating for a moment.
"I will send you out of the Death Dominion. You will be safe once you leave the Death Dominion," replied Han Shuo. He took a deep breath and said to Emily and Statholme, "After you leave the Death Dominion, head to the Ethereal City of the Space Dominion and look for the City Lord McKinley. He will make arrangements for you."
"Brian, don't be rash!" Emily's heart sank when she heard Han Shuo's words. She pleaded, "Forget it. Sha-t 'o is the one who is after us. He is dead and I don't want to take revenge …"
"Brian, killing Hill is very likely to provoke the Overgod!" exclaimed Statholme. He knew what Han Shuo was trying to do.
"I know that it is very likely to provoke the Overgod. That is why I brought you out of Witherbone City. If I had killed Hill and the Overgod appeared, I might have been able to escape, but all of you would have died at the hands of the Witherbone City divine guards. As long as you are safe, I don't mind causing a ruckus in Witherbone City! Hmph, Hill really thinks that I am afraid of the Overgod of Death! "snorted Han Shuo coldly.
When Han Shuo saw that the crowd still wanted to dissuade him, he waved his hand and said, "Alright, that's enough. I will send you out of the Death Dominion. I have made up my mind!"
"Senior, are you confident?" Bollands was still as calm as ever as he asked unhurriedly.
"I'm confident that I won't die!" Han Shuo put on a faint smile and said, "That's enough. As long as I don't die, I won't be afraid of even an Overgod with the Quintessence!"
Bollands nodded and did not say anything else. Han Shuo did not explain further either. They escorted the Han family through the major cities of the Death Dominion and headed towards the Fringe of the Space Dominion.
Fearing that there might be more complications, the Han family hurried on with their journey. Two months later, they exited the Death Dominion and headed towards the Space Dominion.
It was at this moment that Han Shuo quietly left the party and returned to the Death Dominion alone.
This time, not only Hill, the City Lord of Witherbone City, but even Wallace of the Darkness Dominion was targeted by Han Shuo. Han Shuo had offended both the Overgod of Death and the Overgod of Darkness!
