CHAPTER 902: Who Else?

Inside the Kiaran residence of Witherbone City, Sha-t'o, one of the most powerful and influential people in the city, was being skinned alive by the heartless Bollands. After a long, long time, Sha-t'o stopped his pitiful screams. His body convulsed for a moment before he became motionless.

No one in the crowd dared to step forward to stop Han Shuo after sensing the terrifying aura he was emitting. Those who had participated in the attack on the House of Han had their hearts pounding and fear in their eyes.

The House of Han, which had been oppressed for so long, was visibly excited after Sha-t'o's death. Even though they had complete faith in Han Shuo's strength, they did not expect Han Shuo to make such huge leaps. Even the top experts of Witherbone City and the City Lord did not dare to mess with Han Shuo.

"Who else?" Han Shuo asked Emily.

Emily scanned the surrounding crowd with murderous eyes before she stopped on the City Lord's hill. She pointed at him and said, "That guy! He is the City Lord of Witherbone City. Without his backing, Sha-t'o wouldn't have the courage to do something so brazen and outrageous!" Emily had heard of the Dagassi and knew that Hill had played a major role in their persecution.

In fact, when the House of Han's cry for help reached Witherbone City, it wasn't Sha-t'o who came up with the sinister plan to trap the House of Han and force them to reveal their secrets - it was the ambitious and greedy Hill. He was the real mastermind.

"What? I have nothing to do with this!" When Hill saw that the members of the Han family seemed pacified after Sha-t'o's death, he thought the matter was over and he wouldn't be implicated. But who knew that Emily would point him out out of the blue.

As City Lord, Hill should not have been so nervous. But having felt Han Shuo's unstoppable power, and having seen Sha-t'o flayed alive before his very eyes, he lost his usual composure. Sha-t'o's inhuman, pitiful screams still echoed in his ears.

Han Shuo flashed an incredibly cold grin as he sized up Hill. He said, "Do you think I would trust your words or those of my people?"

A shiver ran down Hill's spine. He knew that by now, no amount of excuses would save him from the monster. From the way Han Shuo had taken revenge on Sha-t'o, Hill knew that Han Shuo was anything but kind. With that, Hill immediately abandoned his unrealistic thoughts and began to rethink his approach.

"Bryan, this is Witherbone City and I'm the mayor. How dare you try to kill me?" Hill was silent for a moment before he suddenly transformed into a tall man with a tough, unwavering demeanour. It was as if he had wiped all traces of fear from his mind and become a different person.

Hill was indeed worthy of being the Lord of a City. Faced with an unbeatable opponent, Hill was able to quickly readjust his mind and strategy to find a way out. With all his concentration and energy, he first purged his fear of Han Shuo from his mind.

Han Shuo was startled for a split second. He had not expected that Hill would dare to give him such an attitude given the situation he was in. It seemed that although Hill was only slightly stronger than Sha-t'o in terms of strength, he was much tougher than Sha-t'o by virtue of being a city lord.

However, even though Hill was the City Lord of Witherbone City and his divine guards had completely surrounded them, Han Shuo could still kill Hill and his gang with the snap of a finger. Han Shuo could not understand where Hill's confidence came from.

"Oh?" Han Shuo raised an eyebrow and asked contemptuously, "And what about this? You think these divine guards around you can protect your ass?"

Hill inwardly heaved a slight sigh of relief after hearing Han Shuo's answer. He was afraid that Han Shuo would kill him outright without giving him a chance to speak. Otherwise, he would be dead no matter how good his reasoning was.

"Sha-t'o is just a clan patriarch. He was not qualified to meet the Overgod. His Lordship wouldn't care whether he lived or died. But I'm different. I'm the City Lord of Witherbone City and the most humble servant of the Overlord of Death. His Lordship has implanted a divine brand in my soul. If I'm killed, His Lordship will avenge me," Hill hastily explained.

Hearing these words, the faces of the members of the House of Han shook, while the trembling Witherbone Divine Guards seemed to be injected with a shot of courage. They thought that their City Lord's words made sense. The City Lord was personally appointed by the Overlord of Death. If the outsider were to kill the City Lord, he would surely suffer the wrath of the Overgod.

And no one on Elysium would want to offend an Overgod!

"Bryan, I think... we should let this go..." the worried looking Emily advised Han Shuo in a low voice.

It was Emily who had pointed out Hill to Han Shuo, but she was also the first to advise Han Shuo against killing Hill. She knew that the power of an Overgod was terrifying beyond her imagination. She would rather swallow the humiliation than have Han Shuo risk his life against an Overgod.

"Bryan, don't do anything impulsive. Sha-t'o is already dead anyway... Maybe it's time to let it go..." Stratholme advised. He too knew that an Overgod was extremely powerful. It wasn't easy for the House of Han to finally be out of danger, and he didn't want Han Shuo to be killed by an Overgod.

In all of Elysium, if not the entire universe, no being would ever risk offending an Overgod who possessed a Quintessence and ruled a Divine Domain. Every member of the House of Han understood this, and they advised Han Shuo to let Hill go.

"

"Your clansmen seem to be reasonable people. Bryan, I admit that you are extremely strong, and we in Witherbone City are no match for you. However, you should think before you act. If you kill me, not a single person in your House of Han will live to leave the Death Domain," Hill said after the members of the House of Han had agreed to his reasoning, hoping that Han Shuo would give up on killing him.

Han Shuo wore a dark face as he gave the complacent looking Hill a death stare. He knew that Hill was not bluffing. If Hill was killed, the Overgod of Death would know immediately and would most likely seek revenge.

A quick series of thoughts flashed through Han Shuo's mind as he argued with himself. After weighing the costs and benefits, Han Shuo took a deep breath and nodded coldly. Then he turned to his House of Han and said, "Come, let's leave the city.

Everyone heaved a sigh of relief. The House of Han, the Witherbone Divine Guards, and Hill felt that they were inches away from hell. They understood that if Han Shuo was so reckless as to kill Hill, the Divine Brand in Hill's soul would be destroyed and the Overgod of Death might appear. If that happened, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"I am truly sorry for what happened to the house of Han in Witherbone City. It really wasn't my intention," Hill said politely. He felt relaxed when he saw Han Shuo leaving. He dared not provoke Han Shuo lest he change his mind.

With a gesture, Hill ordered the divine guards who had crowded the place to immediately make way for the House of Han so that they could leave unhindered.

Han Shuo wore a dark face as he silently led his family clan to the nearest city gate. Wherever he went, the Divine Guard would automatically take a few steps back. It was obvious that they were terrified of Han Shuo.

Every member of the House of Han followed closely behind Han Shuo. They did not speak a word as they marched through the streets. By the morning of the second day, they had arrived at the nearest city gate.

It was as if the Witherbone Divine Guards had been notified in advance. Long before the House of Han reached the city gates, they had swung them wide open for the House of Han to leave the city.

Without encountering the slightest obstacle, the House of Han, led by Han Shuo, finally stepped out of Witherbone City.

After travelling for another half day, when the House of Han had travelled quite some distance from Witherbone City, Sanguis finally couldn't contain his curiosity. He hesitated for a moment before asking Han Shuo, "master, are you really going to let Hill go?"

"I "I will escort you all out of the Death Dominion. You will all be safe once you are outside the Dominion," Han Shuo took a deep breath before turning to Emily and Stratholme and instructing, "After you leave the Death Dominion, go to the Ethereal City of the Space Dominion. Find McKinley, the City Lord. He will get you all settled."

"Bryan, don't do this, please!" Emily was worried for Han Shuo's safety. She pleaded, "Please just let it pass. After all, it was Sha-t'o who did those things to us and he is dead. I don't want to take revenge anymore... "

"Bryan, if you kill Hill, you might anger the Overgod!"

Stratholme was astonished after realising Han Shuo's plan.

"Yes, I know I might offend the Overgod, that's why I'm bringing you all out of the Death Dominion now. If I killed him right now and the Overgod appeared, I might be able to escape, but you lot might be exterminated by the divine guards. As long as you're safe, I don't mind destroying Witherbone City. Huh, to think that I'm afraid of the Overgod of Death, how foolish of Hill," Han Shuo groaned coldly.

Seeing that his family clan members were still trying to talk him out of it, Han Shuo raised one palm and said, "Enough, I have made my decision."

"Elder brother, do you have the confidence?" asked Bollands calmly.

"I have the confidence that I will not lose my life, not even to an Overgod with the Quintessence," Han Shuo replied after putting on a faint smile.

Bollands nodded and said nothing further.

Under Han Shuo's escort, the House of Han made detours through various major cities of the Death Dominion on their way to the Space Dominion.

Not wanting to invite any more trouble, the House of Han hastened their journey. After two months, they officially left the territories of the Death Dominion. They continued their journey towards the Space Dominion.

Meanwhile, Han Shuo quietly left the group and returned to the Death Dominion all alone.

He planned to murder not only City Lord Hill of Witherbone City, but even City Lord Wallace of the City of Shadows. He planned to offend not just one, but two of the Overgods.
