Chapter 783 - Preparing for a rainy day
GDK 783: Preparing for a rainy day
Of the seven major cities in the Darkness Dominion, the City of Gorging Clouds was without a doubt the strongest.
The City Lord of the City of Gorging Clouds was Yarus. Lakrisen was a younger sibling of Yarus’. Lakrisen cultivated in the edict of destruction and was a late-stage highgod.
Of the seven Darkness Dominion cities, the City of Gorging Clouds had the highest number of highgods. Yarus’ House of Broadhurst was also the most ancient and the most powerful family clan in the Darkness Dominion. They were regarded highly by the Overgod of Darkness.
The City of Shadows was only stronger than Hushveil City which ranked bottom in strength. The City of Shadows paled in comparison to the City of Gorging Clouds.
The strongest person in the City of Shadows was Wallace who possessed late-stage highgod strength. Wallace was the only late-stage highgod expert in the entire City. The situation in the City of Gorging Clouds, however, was very different. Practically every patriarch in the City possessed late-stage highgod strength. It was said that City Lord Yarus had transcended beyond the realm of highgod and reached the realm of overgod – an overgod without the Quintessence.
Han Shuo was utterly overwhelmed with shock when he discovered the origins of the assassins who tried to kill him. Other than Felder from the House of Lavers, all the assassins originated from the most powerful family clan in the City of Gorging Clouds – the House of Broadhurst.
Having lived in the City of Shadows for so long, Han Shuo had learned a thing or two about the general situation in the Darkness Dominion. Naturally, the most conspicuous City of Gorging Clouds and the House of Broadhurst had found their ways to Han Shuo’s ears. Han Shuo had a rough idea of the identities of the three highgods he killed right after Felder called that short man by his name.
Without much thinking required, Han Shuo understood that the House of Lavers must have found their way to the City of Gorging Clouds after departing the City of Shadows. Felder must have made some kind of agreement with Lakrisen so that the House of Broadhurst would shelter his House of Lavers.
The House of Lavers joining the City of Gorging Clouds would enhance the City’s already tip-top strength that always overshadowed the other six cities of Darkness Dominion. Under the shelter of the City of Gorging Clouds, even if Felder or his House of Lavers did something harmful to the City of Shadows, Wallace would have to think twice before retaliating. The City of Gorging Clouds was unlike Hushveil City. No matter in any aspect: the Cities’ overall strength or the City Lords’ relationship with the Darkness Overgod, the City of Shadows and Wallace was no match.
After hesitating for a moment, Rose replied, “I know a place where there are many experts. It is very chaotic. There are highgod and even overgod experts. If you are looking for highgods who have yet to join any family clan, that will be the best place. However, it is very dangerous!”
“Where is it?” asked Han Shuo hastily. He was elated.
“It’s the Fringe – the Land of Chaos!” Rose answered and explained, “It is situated between the Space Dominion and the Destiny Dominion. It doesn’t belong to any of the Twelve Dominions and it is not governed by any of the Twelve Overgods. The Space and Destiny Dominions prohibits their gods from entering the Fringe. It is without a doubt the most chaotic and the most lawless place on Elysium. In that Land, the one with the biggest fist makes the rules. I used to live in the Fringe for a period of time and was nearly killed multiple times. After brushing with death multiple times, I decided to leave that place. I came to live in the Darkness Dominion as I’m cultivating in the energy of darkness.”
“Land of Chaos?” Han Shuo put on a faint smile and said, “I can tell just from the name that it is an interesting place!” After a short pause, he asked, “You said you nearly got killed in that Land? Even with your strength?”
“I still vividly remember all those who had tried to kill me. Once I have the confidence to kill them, I will return to that place to seek vengeance!” explained Rose. She put on an angered face when she recalled of her enemies.
“It will not be long. After the competition is over and after I arranged things in the House of Han, we will head to the Land of Chaos and I will help you get your revenge!” Han Shuo pledged to Rose.
When Rose heard that Han Shuo wanted to help her take revenge, her expression turned rather strange. She took a good look at Han Shuo before lowering her head and softly said, “Thank you!”
“Hehe, we have gone through trials and tribulations together and you are mine. It is what I ought to do!” replied Han Shuo smilingly.
When Han Shuo said so, the expression on Rose’s face turned even weirder. Her beautiful and lovable face flushed. She softly cried, “I’m not yours!”
Han Shuo stared blankly for a moment before the smile on his face turned bigger. She looked at the seductively beautiful Rose and said teasingly, “I mean you’re my servant, okay? Did you think I meant it any other way?”
Rose’s face turned even redder. She cast an annoyed glare at Han Shuo and lowered her head without replying.
Han Shuo suddenly felt that his mood had become much better. He did not expect Rose would so interesting. But Han Shuo did not continue to tease her as it appeared that she was about to get angry. He chuckled and said, “Alright. alright, let’s hurry to the mountain range. I’m starting to get impatient!”
After experiencing the attack from the five assassins, Han Shuo and his party no longer met any troubles in the remainder of their journey. After six days, Han Shuo and his Fifth Corps divine guards finally arrived at Soaring Clouds Mountain Range.
