CHAPTER 782: No One Will Say A Word

Han Shuo and Rose coldly watched the battle as they stood in their escape routes. Han Shuo also placed several demon generals in hidden places. If the two of them used special methods to escape, the demon generals would swarm towards them and stop their actions. Han Shuo and Rose also set up several barriers as they watched the battle.

The two Highgods assassins showed desperation in their eyes. They knew that they would not escape death, so they tried to cause the most damage with their deaths. They used all the remaining energy in their bodies to push forward and get close to the divine guards, as if they wanted to seriously injure the divine guards.

The divine guards, knowing that the two assassins were Highgods, did not dare to approach them. The divine guards would immediately launch ranged attacks on the two, pushing them back as they tried to close the distance. The assassins' patience and divine energy were worn thin. As time passed, under the bombardment of nearly a hundred divine guards, the two Highgods were on the verge of exhausting their divine energy.

Unlike Han Shuo and Rose, Bollands did not take part in the battle. He was instructing the divine guards on how to most effectively surround a powerful expert as a team. The Divine Guardians, who had practised the art of team combat in the Eight Desolation and Torment Formation, unleashed dense attacks that did not miss a single spot of the Highods' defences, putting maximum pressure on the two Highgods.

For the two Highgods, this was the most humiliating moment they had ever experienced in their entire lives. They had tried to summon the energy to escape, even at the cost of seriously injuring themselves or setting their realms back. But every time they tried, the demon generals interrupted and stopped them. After repeating the process several times, the two finally realised that their deaths were certain.

With Han Shuo and Rose using barriers, the two assassins could not even get close enough to the divine guards to harm them by self-destructing. Two proud Highgods were reduced to puny living targets for Han Shuo's little combat training exercise. With all hope of survival lost, the two assassins could no longer stand the humiliation.

The two assassins dropped all their defences and allowed the divine energy and divine weapons of the divine guards to land on their bodies. The energies and weapons shredded their bodies, which were almost depleted of divine energy, without much resistance. They collapsed into a pool of blood and died.

The Cauldron Spirit quickly flew out and happily collected the two divine souls. As the number of demon generals in the Cauldron of Myriad Demon increased, as more and more high quality souls were added to the collection, the Cauldron became more and more powerful. Han Shuo could clearly feel this every time he borrowed the Cauldron Spirit's energy.

To Han Shuo, the Cauldron's growing strength was tantamount to his own growing power. Therefore, Han Shuo would always do his best to help Cauldron Spirit collect as many divine souls as possible.

"What? They died just like that!" shouted Barnard in an annoyed voice. It seemed the fun had ended too soon for him.

Barnard's comrades felt the same way. They did not expect the two assassins to give up their lives just when they were enjoying it the most. They thought the fun would last much longer.

After the Cauldron of Myriad Demon had collected the two Highgod souls, Bollands stepped forward and walked over to the bodies. He lifted their masks and looked carefully at their faces. A moment later, Bollands stood up, turned to Han Shuo and shook his head gravely. "Senior, I do not recognise these faces!"

Bollands had served in Erebus' Third Corps for many years and was very familiar with members of all the major family clans in the City of Shadows. Through various covert and overt methods, Bollands had met and seen characters that even Han Shuo had never met. Highgods were the rarest and smallest class of people in any city. If the two assassins were from the City of Shadows, it would be impossible for Bollands not to recognise them.

Therefore, after hearing Bollands' words, Han Shuo was certain that the assassins were from another city. Han Shuo thought about it carefully. Besides Hushveil City, Han Shuo had also insulted Portlem, who was outside the Darkness Dominion. He wondered if one of them could be behind the attack.

Han Shuo's eyebrows furrowed as he thought deeply about this. After a while, he looked around and instructed his divine guards, "Speak to no one about this incident until I get to the bottom of it. After a short pause, Han Shuo added, "That includes those from the House of Sainte!"

Five Highgods had come to kill him and could afford three deaths. This probably meant that Han Shuo had offended a very powerful person.

Han Shuo was currently a high-ranking official in the City of Shadows. If Wallace and Andre found out about the incident, they would surely start their own investigation, which meant that he would be questioned about all the details. They might inadvertently reveal Han Shuo's amazing strength to others. Other concerns aside, Han Shuo did not want the public to learn of his true strength until the competition between the Divine Guard Chiefs began.

After fighting off the Highgod assassins, all the Divine Guards in the Fifth Corps were completely convinced of Han Shuo. Not a single one of them had any doubts about Han Shuo's abilities. Their gaze towards Han Shuo was filled with nothing but awe and respect.

Therefore, after Han Shuo finished speaking, the less than one hundred divine guards respectfully replied in unison in the affirmative. None of them had any other opinion.

On Elysium, cultivation and strength were all that mattered. The vast majority of its inhabitants made increasing their strength their top priority. For this reason, everyone on Elysium worshipped the strong. They had nothing but admiration for true experts. After Han Shuo had demonstrated his formidable power by effortlessly killing a Highgod, these unbridled divine guards of the Fifth Corps became extremely compliant towards Han Shuo. They truly approved of Han Shuo as their new Divine Guard chief.

"Rest assured, my lord! No one will say a word about this!" promised Barnard, with reverence coming from the bottom of his heart and admiration shining in his eyes.

Han Shuo nodded and said, "Excellent. As long as you do exactly as I say, none of us will get into trouble. Han Shuo then looked around and said with a smile, "Very well. I assume that the two who escaped won't return. We will continue our march towards the Soaring Cloud Mountain Range."

"Senior, I think we are no longer in danger. Can you resume your stalking and tracking training?" asked Bollands respectfully after bowing to Han Shuo.

"Yes, go ahead," Han Shuo also believed that the two escaped assassins would no longer be a threat to them, so he simply agreed.

After Bollands led the divine guards away to continue with all sorts of training and exercises, Han Shuo turned to Rose and instructed, "Let no one disturb me.

Rose was confused. She had no idea why Han Shuo would suddenly give her such an order. However, Rose did not ask any questions, she just nodded. Although the relationship between Han Shuo and Rose had long since improved, Rose was still as quiet as ever. She usually does not speak unless Han Shuo asks her a question. She rarely started a conversation with Han Shuo.

After giving the instruction, Han Shuo sat cross-legged and closed his eyes. With a thought in his mind, a demon general refined by a Highgod's soul flew away from Han Shuo at extreme speed. It was heading north.

Han Shuo had used some demonic yuan on the highest rank demon general. Therefore, when Han Shuo focused his attention and commanded it to fly, the demon general in the immaterial state flew much faster than usual. In fact, it travelled at a speed faster than Han Shuo's Ninth Heaven Demonic Art boosted by the energy of the Cauldron Spirit.

Demon Generals were immaterial, and gravity had no effect on them, so they could move at ridiculous speeds. This Demon General, having received a boost from Han Shuo's Demonic Yuan, could move at an even higher speed.

Moments ago, when he had fought off the assassins, Han Shuo had left a drop of his blood essence on the short man's armour. Han Shuo had a miraculous connection with his blood essence. Even though the shortie had managed to rip a tunnel to another dimension with a miraculous divine space weapon and had escaped, since the shortie was carrying a drop of Han Shuo's blood essence with him, Han Shuo could get a rough approximation of his location when he fully focused his mind to sense it.

Han Shuo could sense that the two escaped assassins were extremely far away and were still moving away at high speed. Han Shuo did not pursue them because he knew that he might not be able to overtake them even if he ran after them with all his might. More importantly, he had a responsibility to protect his company of divine guards. He was worried that the divine guards might run into another danger that they couldn't handle on their own.

So Han Shuo stayed with his divine guards and sent the most powerful demonic general he had, a spirit demon, to investigate the situation for him. He didn't hope that the spirit demon could harm the two assassins, but he wanted the spirit demon to reveal the identity of this anonymous enemy of his. Once Han Shuo knew who he was up against, he would have a general idea of how to prepare for them or even eliminate the threat if the opportunity arose.

For the spirit demon who had pushed his speed to the maximum, time seemed to have slowed down. Its immaterial body made tiny and faint ripples in the atmosphere as it streaked through the sky and towards the area Han Shuo had instructed.

About half an hour later, Han Shuo gave a command with his consciousness and the ultra-fast moving spirit demon slowed down. It began to cautiously approach the area ahead.

Han Shuo saw two figures flying at high speed. One of the figures was short and small and wore gloves that were speckled with starlight. Without thinking, Han Shuo knew that they were the two assassins who had escaped. The two were rushing forward, completely unaware that an invisible pair of eyes was following them, watching them from a distance behind.

The spirit demon followed them for about ten minutes before the two assassins suddenly slowed down. They swerved suddenly and came to a halt in front of a cave mouth littered with broken stones and leafy branches. The short one gave a slight cough.

Several dark figures emerged slowly from the cave. Their faces became clearer as they emerged from the cave. One of them was Dolores, who had been missing for a long time.

After leaving the cave, he wore an elated expression and asked, "Patriarch, is it a success?"

The assassins finally took off their masks. The taller one was revealed to the Felder, the Patriarch of the House of Lavers. His face was sombre as he replied, "We have failed. We are the only survivors. Felder then turned to Lakrisen, who had also removed his mask, and said in a heavy voice, "Lord Lakrisen, I'm sorry to have lost three of your capable helpers.

Lakrisen's face was bitter and resentful.

He said coldly, "Three Highgods have died. How can I justify the losses to my elder brother?"

Lakrisen was like a volcano about to erupt. Felder did not know how to answer him. He simply let out a helpless sigh and remained silent.

Lakrisen glanced at Felder with cold eyes before he let out a cold groan and said, "We will return to the City of Gorging Clouds and settle things there!" and left immediately. Felder let out another soft sigh before taking Dolores and the others to follow behind Lakrisen.
