CHAPTER 911: Enemies Join Forces

The scar on Scarlett's face was so fierce and terrifying that it would stop any normal man from even thinking about her.

But she had a curvaceous body and translucent, silky skin. Were it not for those scars, she would be a flawless, extremely attractive woman.

Han Shuo inwardly approved of Scarlett and felt that she would be a suitable partner for Han Hao. He was especially impressed that she would give up being the ruler of Ronson Canyon just for Han Hao. Han Shuo thought it would be wonderful to have Scarlett as his daughter-in-law.

Scarlett walked over to Han Shuo with her head bowed, looking rather fidgety and shy. She was a little worried about what Han Shuo would think of her, being the father of the man he fancied.

"Don't worry, the procedure is quite simple," Han Shuo comforted her with a smile after seeing that Scarlett was nervous.

As he spoke, he raised his left hand and placed it a few millimetres above her face. A warm grey gas emerged and flowed gently into her face. An energy guided by his consciousness began to work at the cellular level, removing unwanted cells and rebuilding some.

"You may feel some heat as I remove the scar tissue. It's nothing to worry about," Han Shuo said calmly as he guided the energy emanating from his palm around Scarlett's cheeks.

Han Shuo had extremely precise and accurate control over Demonic Yuan Energy and he could effortlessly alter the properties and metabolic rate of the cells on her face. Others might take centuries to treat such a scar, but Han Shuo could fix it in a matter of minutes.

Moments later, Han Shuo withdrew his hand and said smilingly to Scarlett, "All right, it's done. Take a look in the mirror!"

Scarlett opened her eyes and looked at Han Shuo for a moment before she replied rather embarrassedly, "I don't have a mirror..."

Han Shuo stared blankly for a moment before immediately coming to his senses. <i >Of course! I'm such an idiot, I should have thought of that!

Han Shuo smiled, took out a mirror from his space ring, and handed it to Scarlett. "Have this. You should use it more often!"

After taking a short pause, Han Shuo took out a bottle of medicine and handed it to Scarlett as he instructed, "This is one of the medicines that I made for Carmelita of the City of Shadows back then. It is suitable for you as well. Apply it on the scars twice a day. In one month, they will vanish without a trace."

After taking the medicine bottle from Han Shuo, Scarlett took a deep breath and mustered the courage to look in the mirror. She exclaimed as she saw that the two large, horrible scars were now two barely visible red lines. Scarlett could not be happier and she emotionally said to Han Shuo, "Thank you, thank you so much!"

Han Shuo replied, "No, it is I who should thank you. Without your help, my House of Han would have been exterminated out in this canyon."

Scarlett kept the bottle of medicine away and a bright smile lit up her face. She said to Han Shuo, "I will make the necessary arrangements in Ronson Canyon and go to the Fringe as soon as possible."

Han Shuo nodded and said with a smile, "That would be great. I think Han Hao will be shocked to see you again, haha."

With the scar almost completely gone from her face, Scarlett was more confident than ever, especially in front of the man she loved. She was thrilled to meet Han Hao in her confident, flawless self.

"So, how did you get those scars? I can tell they were made by a sharp tool. Seeing that Scarlett was in a good mood, Han Shuo finally asked the question.

Scarlett hesitated for a moment before answering, "I did it to myself," which shocked Han Shuo.

Before Han Shuo could ask the reason, Scarlett explained, "Back then, my family clan was attacked and we suffered a crushing defeat. Every male member was killed or forced into slavery, while the female members were raped and then sold as sex slaves. To avoid being defiled, I cut my face".

After learning of Scarlett's tragic past, Han Shuo's face turned dark and he asked, "Are your enemies still alive?"

"After I became a Godhunter, I did everything I could to increase my strength. I took my revenge many years ago. But thank you for asking." Scarlett knew immediately that Han Shuo wanted to help her get her revenge. She appreciated the kindness. She felt that although Han Shuo and Han Hao were ruthless to their enemies, they could not be more loyal to their friends.

Han Shuo nodded and said, "Well then, I should be going. Right, if you run into any trouble in the fringe, just say my name. No one should be foolish enough to harm you."

In Ronson Canyon, Scarlett was one of the strongest experts. But in the Fringe, an Early-stage Highgod like her was quite ordinary. Even a small faction in the Fringe would have a Highgod. Since those new to the Fringe were harassed or targeted, it was likely that she would have trouble in the Chaotic Land.

"I will be careful," Scarlett replied cheerfully with a beautiful smile.

Han Shuo said goodbye to Scarlett and left.

Han Shuo had always been a person who reciprocated both kindness and malice. He took his revenge on Hofs, Wallace and the others, but he did not forget to repay Scarlett's kindness. Seeing that he had achieved his goals, Han Shuo decided to return to the Fringe.

*** In a murky, gloomy and desolate cemetery where bones littered the ground. Faint, ghostly green lights flashed randomly in the thick fog.

A tomb buried deep underground suddenly erupted with bright flashes of lightning. A majestic figure emerged from the tomb and took a deep breath.

From an even larger tomb came a sinister laugh. It asked, "Hehe, Salas, you have fully recovered from your injuries, right?"

The bright electrical sparks on his body forced the fog to dissipate. He stomped on a massive skeletal frame, which was enveloped in lightning bolts before being instantly pulverised. Salas' sparking eyes turned to the tomb and replied, "Thank you. Without the help of your Godhunter Alliance, I wouldn't have recovered so quickly."

"You're welcome, you're very welcome! Hehe, but don't forget what you promised to do for us in return!" The person in the tomb sounded extremely cunning. He said, "Tyre, Logue and the others have ruled the Fringe for too long. It's time for someone else to take their place. We Godhunter Alliance have been drooling over this wonderful place for a long time!"

"Tyre, Logue and the others sharing a piece of the Omphalos with the boy meant that they recognised his position. In any case, I have no place in the Fringe anymore and I can't go back. Whatever you do to them or this place, I no longer care," Salas said angrily. He seemed very unhappy with the Sovereigns' actions.

"Good, good. Hey Salas, I heard that your nemesis has left the Fringe. He's been in the limelight around the Dominions of Darkness and Death. How about we join forces and stop him from returning to the Fringe?" the person in the tomb suggested with a smiling voice.

Salas stared blankly for a moment before he scoffed and said, "The boy is as elusive as a ghost, but you somehow know his whereabouts?"

"I received information three days ago that Ronson Canyon had been cleared of Godhunters. That guy is currently on his way back to the Fringe from the Death Dominion. Hehe, this is my territory. I have the most extensive intelligence network after the Death Overlord. As long as he's in the Death Dominion, it won't be hard to find him," the person in the tomb replied with a confident voice.

Salas' expression showed that he was interested in the idea. After a moment's hesitation, Salas said, "I've fought this guy twice. He is extremely vicious and treacherous. It's easier to defeat old foxes like Tyre and Logue than he is. Not to mention that this boy is extremely good at escaping. He's extremely vengeful, and his strength increases at lightning speed. If we do not have overwhelming power against him, then forget about attacking him.

"Salas, don't tell me you're afraid of this boy?" the person in the tomb laughed out loud before saying, "You've ruled the fringe for countless years. Even we Hegemons of the Godhunter Alliance admire you so much that we dare not invade the Fringe. It is obvious that the child took advantage of you when you were weak. Why should you fear him? Are you still the Salas we know?"

Others might think that Han Shuo was able to defeat Salas because the latter was in a disadvantageous situation, but Salas knew that his defeat was not due to bad circumstances, and he knew better than anyone how terrifying Han Shuo's power was. Therefore, no matter what the person in the tomb tried to do to him, Salas refused the offer. He coldly replied, "Unless you can somehow guarantee that we have no chance of failure, I will not step up and fight him!"

The person in the tomb was silent for a while, as if he could not understand why Salas was so wary of the boy. Moments later, after some thought, he laughed mischievously and said, "Me, the Hegemons of Destruction and Darkness, and you - four overgods in all. Are you in?"

Salas started. He stared puzzled at the tomb and asked, "What grudge does the Godhunter Alliance have against him that the three of you would join forces to kill him?"

"One of my chiefs I'm most impressed with, Han Hao, betrayed me for this guy after he moved to the Fringe. And back when he was in the Darkness Dominion, he led people to destroy one of our branches. And just a few days ago, he wiped out our people in Ronson Canyon. His existence is a grave threat to the interests of our Godhunter Alliance. As you say, his strength is increasing rapidly. We must get rid of him as soon as possible," the person in the tomb replied in a sinister voice.

He paused for a moment before continuing, "With the four of us, even Tyre will undoubtedly be dead. So are you with me or not?"

Salas hesitated for a moment. He remembered the destruction of his Empyrean Peak and his heart hardened. He shouted, "Fuck it! Fine, I'll do it!"
