Of all the cities in the Darkness Dominion, the City of Gorging Clouds was without a doubt the most powerful city in the Darkness Dominion. There were countless highgods in the city.
Be it Hofs' Hushveil City or Wallace's City of Shadows, they were far inferior to the City of Gorging Clouds. The overall strength of the House of Sainte might not even be as great as any of the major family clans in the City of Gorging Clouds, much less the House of Broadhurst.
All along, there had been rumors that Yarus, the City Lord of the City of Gorging Clouds, had surpassed highgod realm. However, rumors were just rumors. As Yarus had always kept a low profile and had delegated many of the city's affairs to his trusted aides, as well as those who had seen him could not tell the difference between an overgod and a highgod, the rumors were never verified.
However, when Han Shuo stood in front of the Broadhurst Residence and sensed the boundless darkness shrouding the Residence, he immediately realized that Yarus had indeed reached the realm of overgod.
The endless dark elements hovering above the Broadhurst Residence were all attracted by Yarus. Using the energy towers in every corner of the Broadhurst Residence, Yarus could gather a large amount of dark elements for his own use. The gods cultivating in the energy of darkness in the Broadhurst Residence could more or less benefit from it.
Han Shuo, who was about to attack Larikson immediately, stopped in front of the door and bunched his brows when he sensed the powerful aura of darkness surrounding the Residence.
If the House of Broadhurst didn't have an overgod like Yarus, Han Shuo would have been able to sneak into the Residence and kill Larikson without alerting anyone. However, Yarus' strength had exceeded Han Shuo's expectations. It was nearly impossible for Han Shuo to sneak into the Residence undetected.
If Han Shuo were to be discovered, he would be attacked by Yarus. Of course, Han Shuo wasn't afraid of Yarus, but if Yarus were to attack, it would disrupt Han Shuo's plan. With an overgod and the highgods of the Broadhurst Family present, Yarus would have a very slim chance of killing Larikson under Yarus' protection.
Not only that, the news of Han Shuo's return to the Darkness Dominion would also be exposed. Wallace and Hofs might hide for a while after learning that Han Shuo had returned. This would bring many uncertainties to Han Shuo's operation.
After hesitating for a moment, Han Shuo decided not to barge into the Residence of Broadhurst. He would wait until Larikson had left.
Although Yarus was the City Lord of the City of Gorging Clouds, he wholeheartedly focused on his cultivation. Most of the city's affairs were handled by his family members. As Yarus' younger brother, Larikson was naturally burdened with mundane affairs. It was impossible for him to stay in the Broadhurst Residence for too long.
Han Shuo retreated to the City of Gorging Clouds and inquired about Larikson's whereabouts. He learned that Larikson was indeed in the City of Gorging Clouds and was staying with the House of Broadhurst.
After receiving accurate information, Han Shuo returned to the Residence of Broadhurst and patiently waited for Larikson to show up.
Three days later, at dusk, Larikson and a few divine guards of the House of Broadhurst finally left the Residence of Gorging Clouds. They seemed to be on a mission and headed straight for the city gate.
Han Shuo thought to himself, 'Even the heavens are helping me!' He quietly followed behind Larikson. Just as he expected, Larikson and the experts from the House of Broadhurst had left the City of Gorging Clouds and were heading towards one of their strongholds.
Halfway through the journey, Larikson suddenly felt his heart palpitate. Before he could react, Han Shuo had appeared from the darkness.
"Long time no see, Larikson. Hehe, it's good to see you again." Han Shuo's voice reverberated in the air. Suddenly, a shadowy figure materialized in the air and appeared before Larikson.
"It's you?!" Larikson cried out in surprise. Before his voice faded, his space ring flashed and the space in front of him was torn apart. Without a word, Larikson dived into the torn space.
Han Shuo did not expect that Larikson would be so cowardly that he would tear apart space and escape without even finishing his sentence. This was completely out of Han Shuo's expectation.
Han Shuo's face jolted. He knew that it was too late to stop Larikson. He let out a cold groan and shot into the torn space in Larikson's space ring like a bolt of lightning.
Dazzling light filled his surroundings. After a moment of dizziness, Han Shuo found himself in an area covered by layers upon layers of boundaries. Larikson, Hofs, Wallace, and Ralph were all standing beside him with sneers on their faces. Larikson, Hofs, Wallace, and Ralph were among them!
Han Shuo turned his consciousness and raised his head to look at the boundless aura of darkness above him. He immediately realized that he had fallen into a trap meticulously laid out by his enemies.
"Brian, welcome to the Broadhurst Residence of the City of Gorging Clouds. We have been waiting for you for a long time," said Yarus in a faint smile. Yarus wore a faint smile as he looked at Han Shuo and said in a soft voice. His body was shrouded in the aura of darkness.
As the city lord of the City of Gorging Clouds, the most powerful city in the Darkness Dominion, Yarus naturally possessed the bearing of someone who held a high position. Coupled with his power as an Overgod, he possessed an indescribably unique bearing.
Han Shuo was in an area surrounded by layers of boundaries. There were a dozen highgods outside the boundaries. Among them, five were late-stage highgods like Hofs and Wallace. The rest were mid-stage highgods. Most of them cultivated in the energy of darkness. They wore cold smiles on their faces as they looked at Han Shuo as though he was a turtle in a jar.
"What a trick! To think that you would use such a trick to lure me in!" Han Shuo took a deep breath and looked at the boastful Yarus. He said, "Such a scheme and such means are truly extraordinary. Yarus, you are indeed the City Lord of the City of Gorging Clouds. No wonder characters like Hofs and Wallace are no match for you. The strength of an entire city can't even compare to a family clan of yours! "
"Shut up!" Shouted Hofs coldly. He looked at Han Shuo and said in a deep voice, "How dare you be so stubborn even in the face of death. With City Lord Yarus here today, no matter how powerful he is, he will not be able to walk out of here alive!"
"Brian, I didn't want to make an enemy out of you. But you have been forcing my hand," sighed Wallace helplessly at Han Shuo.
Han Shuo couldn't help but laugh. He turned his gaze to Wallace and said, "I forced you? Haha, what a joke! Ever since I came to the City of Shadows, I have saved Carmelita twice and helped your House of Sainte many times. Ever since the Han family established themselves in the City of Shadows, I knew that you wouldn't allow the Han family to continue developing. I was even prepared to leave the City of Shadows with the Han family. But you, Hofs and Larikson, have the nerve to say that I am forcing you? How amusing! "
"The City of Shadows will forever belong to the House of Sainte. As the patriarch of the House of Sainte, I have to exterminate anyone who can threaten the House of Sainte!" Wallace was rendered speechless by Han Shuo's words.
"I have given you face, but you don't want it!" Han Shuo put on a cold smile and shook his head. He knew that he had nothing to say to Wallace.
"Larikson, Wallace, Hofs, Ralph. Very good, very good. Everyone is here!" Han Shuo's gaze swept across them one by one and finally landed on Yarus, the City Lord of the City of Gorging Clouds. He smilingly asked, "You have meticulously planned all this. Why haven't you made your move?"
Yarus put on a carefree smile and said to Han Shuo in an incomparably sincere manner, "Brian, I have long heard of your great name. It seems that you live up to your reputation. But I, Yarus, am willing to allow your Han family to settle in the City of Gorging Clouds. As long as you are willing to let go of your hatred towards Larikson, I will welcome your Han family on behalf of the entire City of Gorging Clouds. I can assure you that what happened to Wallace will never happen again! "
Yarus spoke with great sincerity. He didn't seem to be joking, which was completely out of Han Shuo's expectations.
"Elder Brother, how can you do that? He, he killed your nephew and many experts of your House of Broadhurst. How can you allow him to enter the City of Gorging Clouds? " Before Han Shuo could say anything, Larikson was the first to panic. He roared at Yarus in panic.
"Shut up!" Shouted Yarus. Larikson, who had always been arrogant in the Darkness Dominion, immediately shut his mouth. It appeared that Yarus had been in the House of Broadhurst for a long time that even Larikson feared him.
"You and Field were the ones who started this. You provoked him first. It is only natural that you suffer a little," said Yarus with a frown. Yarus frowned and scolded Larikson, "Compared to an Overgod, your son's life can be ignored. You have plenty of energy anyway. Just give birth to a few more!"
"Big, Elder Brother …" Larikson was stunned and he wanted to say something.
Yarus' face turned cold. He waved his hand and said, "That's enough. I know what to do. Cut the crap!"
Larikson, who was full of complaints, dared not utter a word after being reprimanded by Yarus. He lowered his head and glared at Han Shuo with hatred in his eyes.
Wallace and Hofs were astonished. Yarus clearly did not discuss this with them. They looked at Yarus with sparkling eyes, as though they wanted an explanation from Yarus.
"Brian, as long as you are willing to come to my City of Gorging Clouds, I will write off all our grudges. Not only that, I will provide you with a manor, manpower, and resources that are much better than what you had in the City of Shadows. Anything that your Celestial Pearl needs, I will provide. What do you think? "said Yarus as he looked at Han Shuo expectantly.
Han Shuo was secretly impressed by Yarus' way of doing things. However, he still shook his head resolutely and said smilingly, "Thank you for your kindness. After what happened in the City of Shadows, my Han family will never submit to anyone again!"
