After the departure of the Han family, Witherbone City was bustling with activity for a period of time. Not for anything else, but for stripping the House of Kiaran's assets.
The House of Kiaran used to be one of the most powerful families in Witherbone City. However, after the death of their patriarch, Sha-t 'o, five highgods, and hundreds of their divine guards, the House of Kiaran was reduced to a second-rate family clan.
With the death of all their top experts, the House of Kiaran would not be able to protect its enormous assets. Those who had been envious of the Kiaran Family's wealth and assets for a long time took action on the day the Han family left Witherbone City.
Sha-t 'o and the House of Kiaran had done so much for Hill and he should be more than willing to help them. He should prevent those jealous family clans from taking action against the Kiaran Family.
However, the first person to take action was none other than Hill.
Using the excuse that the House of Kiaran had provoked an unimaginable number of enemies for Witherbone City without Hill's consent, Hill took over the Kiaran Family's largest territory and assets. Most of the Kiaran Family's assets fell into Hill's hands overnight.
While the Kiaran Family enjoyed the meat, others would have to drink the soup. The other families, big and small, took away the remaining profits of the Kiaran Family. Many of those who had grudges against the House of Kiaran had been afraid of Sha-t 'o and the House of Kiaran's power. But now, they were taking revenge on the Kiaran Family. They hunted down the orphans, women, and children of the Kiaran Family.
As Sha-t 'o had suffered great humiliation before his death, many of the Kiaran Family's divine guards felt the same. They felt that the Kiaran Family had been branded with the mark of humiliation. They left the House of Kiaran and joined other family clans. They became murderers of the Kiaran Family's orphans, women, and children.
In almost a single night, a major family clan that had towered over Witherbone City for a thousand years had been wiped out.
All the direct descendants of the family clan, young and old, were hunted down by their enemies. In just a few days, the ancient House of Kiaran was almost wiped out. There were not many members of the Kiaran Family left in Witherbone City.
Ninety percent of the Kiaran Family members were killed in the purge. However, there was one person that no one dared to touch.
…
Witherbone City, south of the city, inside a dilapidated divine hall, Li Wei's body was curled up into a ball. Her eyes were blank as she held an urn of ashes in her arms.
Beside her, the Ancient Lizard King, Dagassi, wore a sorrowful expression as he lovingly combed Li Wei's disheveled hair while sighing repeatedly.
In a short period of three months, the innocent Li Wei had experienced the cruelest change in the world. She had watched as Sha-t 'o, who had loved her dearly, was skinned and stripped of his bones. Her brothers and sisters were mercilessly killed, and her sisters were ravaged. A great clan had collapsed in an instant.
Li Wei witnessed the scenes of agony. The earth-shattering changes finally destroyed her mind. Unable to bear all of this, she became deranged.
In just three months, Li Wei, who used to be the proud daughter of the Kiaran Family in Witherbone City, had turned into a deranged woman who spouted nonsense all day long.
As the proud daughter of the Kiaran Family, she should not have been able to escape after her clan was annihilated. However, as many people knew that Li Wei and Han Shuo were close friends, no one dared to touch a single hair on Li Wei's head even though her brothers and sisters had died in front of her.
Everyone who had met Han Shuo sternly warned their family clansmen not to have any designs on Li Wei. They were truly afraid that Han Shuo would retaliate against them for Li Wei's vengeance. They knew that they were not Overgods. If Han Shuo wanted to kill them, it would be as easy as flipping his palm. Moreover, no one would avenge them.
"Sigh, it's been hard on you …" Dagassi could not help but let out a soft sigh when he saw the deranged Li Wei.
A figure approached like a ghost and quietly landed in the dilapidated shrine. He looked at Li Wei's current state and let out a deep sigh. "In this matter, Li Wei is the one I've let down the most …"
Dagassi was startled. He stood up with a vigilant expression and subconsciously shielded Li Wei behind him. But when he saw who it was, his expression relaxed and he put on a bitter smile, "Why are you here?"
Han Shuo could still remember the fluctuations of Dagassi's soul. Given his current cultivation realm, it would be a piece of cake for him to search for Dagassi's soul within a certain range. Han Shuo, who had come to Witherbone City to start a massacre, suddenly remembered Dagassi and Li Wei. After hesitating for a moment, he decided to find them.
Han Shuo's heart ached when he saw Li Wei's state. Although the Kiaran Family and Sha-t 'o had been heartless to the Han family, Li Wei was innocent. She had done everything she could for the Han family. Although her efforts were futile, Han Shuo would never forget her kindness.
"How is she?" Han Shuo let out a soft sigh and asked Dagassi.
"After going through so much, she had a mental breakdown. Li Wei is the closest person to me in the Kiaran Family. I really don't want to see her like this." Dagassi sighed and said, "After I came to the Kiaran Family, I learned that the previous owner of the Kiaran Family had died long ago. No one in the Kiaran Family thought highly of me. I don't care if they live or die. Only little Li Wei, perhaps because of my relationship with you, treats me well. Brian, can you think of a solution?"
"I can erase that part of her memory and make her forget everything about the Kiaran Family. Only then can she start anew." Han Shuo thought for a moment and helplessly said, "I don't have any other way but to give her a fresh start."
"That's fine. As long as she can be happy, it will be fine. Forgetting about the Kiaran Family is actually a good thing for her, "Dagassi nodded and praised Han Shuo's suggestion.
Han Shuo placed his hand on the back of Li Wei's head and sent his consciousness into it. He gently wrapped around Li Wei's soul and began to wander through the wisps of faint light that were hard to see with the naked eye. He searched for all the memories related to the Kiaran Family and used his consciousness to erase them.
If even Sha-t 'o, a cultivator of the energy of death, could extract memories from the souls of others, it would be even easier for Han Shuo, who had reached the Skybreak Realm in demonic arts. His consciousness was more profound than any energy that could pry into one's soul. Erasing Li Wei's memories would not leave any residual effects.
A few minutes later, Han Shuo let out a soft sigh and withdrew his hand. He looked at Li Wei who had fallen into a deep sleep and said to Dagassi, "When she wakes up, she will completely forget everything about the Kiaran Family. Take her to Ethereal City in the Space Dominion and go to the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy. Don't stay here."
Dagassi nodded and replied, "I have been planning to take her away from here. Ethereal City is indeed a good place to be."
"I'm sorry. Everything that has happened to her is because of me. She is the only person in the Kiaran Family that I have let down," said Han Shuo with a heavy heart. He looked at Dagassi and sighed.
Dagassi patted Han Shuo's shoulder and carried Li Wei in his arms. He said, "It's all in the past. Don't blame yourself. I know what happened. Sha-t 'o and those people have gone too far. I can't stand watching them die."
Han Shuo felt a little better after hearing Dagassi's words. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Tell me about what happened, especially about those who participated in the attack on the Han family."
Dagassi stared blankly for a moment. Suddenly, his face jolted as though he recalled something. He cried out in surprise, "Brian, you didn't come back to look for us? You came back to kill Hill, didn't you? "
Han Shuo did not hide anything from Dagassi. He nodded and admitted, "That's right. Hill is the main culprit. Of course I won't let him get away with it!"
"But, but Hill is the City Lord of Witherbone City. His divine soul is imprinted by the Overgod of Death! You, you will incur the wrath of the Overgod of Death. This, this … "Dagassi started to panic and tried to dissuade Han Shuo from giving up.
"I know. Don't worry, I'll be fine," replied Han Shuo. Han Shuo was rather touched. He suddenly felt that his friends from Profound Continent were truly kind and unreserved in their concern for him.
Dagassi forced a smile and shook his head when he saw that he couldn't persuade Han Shuo. He sighed and said, "Back then, when I first met you in the underground world of the Dark Forest on Profound Continent, you were just a puny necromancer. Who would have thought that after a few hundred years, you would rise to prominence on Elysium? Now, you even dare to provoke an Overgod. Life is truly unpredictable …"
After hearing Dagassi's words, Han Shuo couldn't help but recall the time he spent with Dagassi in the underground world. Back then, Han Shuo was indeed just a puny necromancer. Back then, Han Shuo didn't stand a chance against Dagassi at all. Han Shuo did not expect that in just a few hundred years, Dagassi would rise to power on Elysium and possess such remarkable abilities.
"Alright, I won't try to dissuade you. Other than Sha-t 'o and Hill, there are also …" Dagassi did not finish his sentence. He reported the names of all the participants he knew.
"Bring Li Wei to the Space Dominion. Witherbone City will be in chaos for a while!" said Han Shuo. His eyes were ice-cold. He was ready to start a massacre.
"Be careful," Dagassi reminded Han Shuo when he saw that Han Shuo was about to leave.
Han Shuo didn't reply. His figure blurred and disappeared without a trace from Dagassi's sight. He left no trace behind, even faster than the power of space tearing.
… …
* * * Witherbone City. In the City Lord's mansion, Hill had summoned the patriarchs of the major family clans to discuss who would be the Chief of the Third Corps of the Kiaran Family after the extermination of the House of Kiaran.
Suddenly, a chilling and sinister energy shrouded the entire mansion. The patriarchs of the major family clans who were in the middle of a discussion jolted to their feet.
When they felt that familiar power, they understood one thing – the God of Slaughter had returned!
