At the central hub, all members of the Han family had gathered together to deal with Regis and Isaiah's pursuit.
The Five Elite Zombies unleashed their energies and gathered the yuan qi of heaven and earth surrounding the 'Sky Annihilation Formation' to form the strongest defense possible, turning the secret chamber into an impenetrable fortress, leaving not the slightest opening.
Everyone knew that Regis and Isaiah would find this place sooner or later. Even though they knew that hiding here wasn't the way to go, they had no choice but to do so. At the very least, even if Regis and Isaiah were to arrive, they wouldn't be able to break through the layers of barriers that Han Shuo had painstakingly set up.
Before Han Shuo left, he had told them that he would return as soon as he was done with his business. That was why they thought that all they had to do was wait for Han Shuo to come out before the secret chamber was destroyed.
Han Shuo had told them that in the Pandemonium Tanai, his power would be greatly enhanced. No overgod who cultivated in any kind of esoteric energy would be a match for him as long as they didn't possess a true Quintessence.
"Brian will definitely return before they break through the wall!" Emily said confidently.
"Don't worry. Even if father can't come back in time, the five of us will be able to hold on for a while if we try our best to operate the Penta-elemental Undead Formation!" Han Jin smiled and comforted the nervous Han family members.
"If I use my treasure, I can stop at least one overgod. I can guarantee that he won't have the time to deal with you all!" Andrina said with a giggle as she held onto Han Jin's hand. She didn't seem too concerned about the crisis.
After hearing these words, the originally gloomy faces of the crowd relaxed a bit. Their words were no longer as solemn as before, and they began to discuss when Han Shuo would return, as well as the dangerous situation just now.
Although Han Hao didn't say anything, everyone naturally treated him as their pillar of support. His accurate judgment had played a crucial role in informing Han Tu of the rescue operation as soon as possible. That was why they were able to bring the key figures to this place.
"Don't be too optimistic. Prepare for the worst." Han Hao said calmly. He glanced at Han Jin and Andrina and said, "There are currently seven overgod experts in Pandemonium. Dhaka, Dagmar, and Asser are temporarily trapped, but once Miller and the others figure out the situation in Pandemonium and get the three of them out, I believe that the seven overgods, including Ossora, will be able to break this secret chamber 'defenses for long!"
Everyone's expression changed when they heard that. It was as if they had just realized just how many terrifying enemies the Pandemonium had.
However, other than Miller, Isaiah, and Regis, there was also Dhaka, Dagmar, Asser, and even Ossora, who had yet to be seen. Every single one of them was an Overgod. If they did not work together, the secret room might have been able to hold on for a while longer. However, once the seven of them struck out together, the terrifying power would be unimaginable.
No matter how much confidence they had in Han Shuo, they didn't think that the secret chamber would be able to withstand the combined attacks of all seven overgods!
"Brother, what do we do?" Han Jin cried out.
"I'm thinking." Han Hao slowly sat cross-legged on the ground and closed his eyes in silence, his brows furrowed.

Regis and Isaiah led their men to clear out any Han family guards that hadn't escaped. They then headed straight for the secret chamber where Han Hao and the others were.
Only the core members of the Han family were allowed to stay in the underground palace. Apart from them, there were only a small number of guards in charge of communications. As such, apart from the core members of the Han family who had come from the Profound Continent, there weren't many guards in the underground palace.
Regis and Isaiah had only killed a few dozen guards after searching the place. They were very curious as to why the Han family only had so many guards at their disposal. What he didn't know was that most of the House of Han's guards were in the mountains outside the Pandemonium. As soon as the underground palace was in danger, Han Hao and the others hid in the secret chamber and sent word to their guards.
The Han family guards in the mountains immediately followed the path Metal Elite Zombie had opened up and hid in the mountains further away. Even Regis and Isaiah couldn't penetrate the boundaries on the mountains with their souls, so they didn't notice anything out of the ordinary.
After Regis and Isaiah roamed the underground palace for a while, Miller quietly appeared. When the three gathered, Regis smiled and asked, "Did he bring you in?"
Miller smiled and nodded. "Yes. How's the situation?"
"The important figures should be gathered together. Haha, that's good. We don't have to search one by one anymore," Isaiah said as he pointed in a direction above his head. Isaiah pointed in a direction above his head, "They're all over there. The stronger the defenses, the easier it is to see."
"Dhaka, Dagmar, and Asser are all in Tanai. When Ossora brought me here, he said he got the news from them," Miller said with admiration. Miller's face was full of admiration. "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that this place had so many tricks up its sleeves. It was actually able to trap Dhaka, Dagmar, and Asser at the same time. Unbelievable!"
"Yeah, it's a good thing we pretended to be Ossora's men and snuck in. Otherwise, we might have been trapped like Dhaka and the others. That Bryan really is an amazing person! "Regis also sighed with deep emotion.
"What about Dhaka, Dagmar, and Asser?" Miller thought for a moment before asking Isaiah, a cultivator of the arcane of earth. This operation was mainly planned by Isaiah and Ossora, so he would listen to Isaiah's opinion on important matters.
"What does that have to do with us?" Isaiah laughed. "They walked into the trap themselves. We didn't set them up, so why should we save them?" Isaiah clearly had no intention of getting the three out.
Miller and Regis exchanged glances and nodded with a smile. It seemed like they agreed with Isaiah's decision.
"Let's go take a look at where they're hiding. Hehe, remember, before Brian shows up, we can't kill anyone! This Pandemonium is too interesting. The three of us will be in charge of it in the future. We have to force Brian to tell us all the secrets of this place before we get rid of them! "Isaiah laughed.
"Of course!" Miller and Regis burst into laughter.
One of the main reasons why they wanted to deal with the Pandemonium was because of its miraculous defenses. A fortress that could trap three overgods, Dhaka, Dagmar, and Asser, was far more valuable to them than the Omphalos itself.
As far as they were concerned, the Godhunter Alliance was destined to win the war against the Fringe from the very beginning. Before the battle even started, they had already thought about how they would divide the land after taking over the Fringe.
It was foreseeable that in the future, the Fringe would be filled with factions led by the Twelve Godhunter Alliances. The Godhunter Alliance wasn't a tightly knit group. Their main goal was to increase their strength and convenience as much as possible.
With that, Pandemonium, with its incredible defenses and treacherous movements, would become a treasure trove for them. With Pandemonium, even if they were to fall out with other factions in the future, they would be invincible. As such, they had to take over Pandemonium first!
Soon, the three of them arrived at the secret room Han Hao and the others were in.
Colorful light shone from the walls. At a glance, the walls looked like they were made of glass. They looked gorgeous and didn't look like earthen walls at all. Strands of strange energy flowed through the patterns on the walls like flowing water, giving off an aura of rejection.
Just as the three approached the secret room, they felt a gentle energy pushing them out. Even Regis, Miller, and Miller, who were overgods, couldn't help but take a few steps back.
Suddenly, their faces lit up with excitement.
"It's amazing! Ossora didn't lie to me!" Isaiah laughed heartily and said, "No wonder Ossora would betray Bryan to work with us. I think he's been coveting this place for a long time. Humans are greedy. Anyone who comes here will want to take everything for themselves! "
"This trip was well worth it!" Regis looked ahead in surprise and carefully sensed the various powers contained in the wall. He had an eager expression on his face as he said, "I can't wait. Hmm, let me try first!"
Isaiah and Miller looked at each other and smiled, taking a few steps back so that Regis could do as he pleased.
Bolts of lightning converged together, gradually forming an incomparably thick bolt of lightning. Under Regis's control, it crashed into the shining earthen wall in front of him.
A deafening sound came from within. The power of thunder and lightning was suddenly released, and then disappeared without a trace in an instant.
"Amazing!" Regis cried out in surprise. He could feel that the earthen wall, which contained a strange power, had only caved in a little under the lightning attack of 80% of his power. Then, it returned to its original state in an instant.
"How surprising," Miller nodded. Millet nodded. His eyes flashed, and an incomparably large wind blade streaked across the sky. There was a crisp "crack" as the wind element and divine power condensed into a giant wind blade shattered inch by inch.
"There's a strange power in the wall that can destroy elemental structures. That Bryan fellow really is a genius. I wonder where he learned such a strange power!" Isaiah explained after a moment of testing, closing his eyes in thought.
"Haha, according to the information we received, he'll be back soon. Yes, with Ossora as our chess piece and the House of Han, we can take our time to play him. When we get all the secrets of Pandemonium out of him, not even Dhaka and the others will be able to break free! " Isaiah was overjoyed. The more mysterious and unexpected the Pandemonium was, the happier he was. In his heart, the Pandemonium was already his.
"Come, let's give it a try. No matter what kind of defense it is, it needs the support of energy. I don't think there's any defense that can last forever under our repeated attacks! "Miller thought for a moment before saying with a serious expression.
This was an unchanging truth since time immemorial. All defensive barriers and seals required the support of energy. This energy could be provided by the energy crystals in the energy towers or by the divine energy or elemental energy left behind by the caster.
But no matter how strong the defense was, every attack would deplete the energy source. Once the energy source was depleted, the defense would be broken no matter how strong it was.
Miller, Regis, and Isaiah clearly knew that. After some preparation, they attacked one after another, combining lightning, earth, and wind elemental attacks on the wall that Han Hao and the others were hiding in.
Under the power of the trio, Phoebe, Emily, Stratholme, and the others in the secret chamber all felt the intense tremors. Deafening booms landed on the walls, causing them to tremble along with it.
However, the secret chamber was powered by the natural energy that had been gathered in Pandemonium over the years. Thanks to Han Shuo's meticulous setup, its defenses were shockingly strong. Miller, Isaiah, and Regis attacked the wall no less than thirty times, but they still weren't able to break through.
The three of them stared at the wall in disbelief. They didn't expect that even with their overgod strength, they wouldn't be able to break through the layers of barriers on the wall even after ten attacks each.
"Stop attacking!" Just as the three of them were about to persevere and continue, they heard a voice at the same time.
After a while, Ossora walked over with a solemn expression and explained, "The more you attack, the more strange energy surges from where Dhaka is imprisoned. At this rate, Dhaka will be able to escape very soon. Once the three of them escape, we won't be able to control Pandemonium anymore! "
"There's such a thing?" Isaiah stared in shock.
"I can clearly feel the flow of gaseous energy from above. It's coming from where Dhaka is imprisoned. As you continue attacking, Dhaka's restraints seem to be weakening. I'm sure of it! "Ossora said.
Isaiah, Regis, and Regis immediately stopped attacking. They were even more surprised by the layout of Pandemonium.
"We can put on a show now. Bryan should be able to return to the Pandemonium soon," said Ossora with a confident smile when he saw that Isaiah and the other two had stopped fighting.
