Chapter 583: I’m Back! (1/2)
GDK 583: I’m Back!
After a bright flash of light, the scene around them transformed.
Although he tried to be mentally prepared, nonetheless, when Han Shuo saw the surrounding which he knew so well, he couldn’t suppress the excitement in his heart. At once, he howled with laughter at the top of his lungs and shouted, “I’m back!”
Right underneath his feet was an interplanar transportation matrix. To the sides were several storerooms. Outside the wide open doors was a sky that stayed murky dark all throughout the year. The air was filled with an intense element of death, the ground covered in bones as white as snow.
There’s no doubt about it, this is the Cemetery of Death!
Sanguis, Jasper, Hemanna, and Sylph, walked down from the interplanar transportation matrix. They marveled and glanced all around curiously.
“Master, this is your homeworld?” Sanguis asked as he looked at the floor of bones while tasting the scent in the air.
“Yep. It’s just that this place is completely enveloped inside a boundary. The true appearance of this world lies outside of the boundary,” Han Shuo replied. After weighing over in his mind, he instructed, “I have no idea how long I have been away from this world. I need to find out the current situation of Profound Continent. The few of you stay in here for the time being. I will come back for you all when I have familiarized myself with this place.”
The few did not have any complaint about Han Shuo’s words. They had long noticed that Han Shuo was excited and knew that he desperately wanted to understand the changes after he left.
After informing Jasper and the others about the things they needed to pay attention to, Han Shuo had them step away from the interplanar transportation matrix. He returned to the center of the transportation matrix and activated it in short-range mode. With a flash of light, Han Shuo vanished from the Cemetery of Death and arrived at the secret underground chamber excavated by earth elite zombie deep below the City Lord’s manor at Brettel City.
Han Shuo stepped out from the chamber and expanded his consciousness. The full scene of the entire Brettel City projected into his mind.
Although Han Shuo hadn’t a clue how long he had been away, based on his preliminary observation, compared to the time when he left, Brettel City had obviously grown even more prosperous and wealthy.
With one thought, Han Shuo suddenly appeared in the meeting hall at the center of the City Lord’s manor.
Dorcas, Jack, Dick, Faulke, Helen Tina and others were in the middle of a heated discussion inside the meeting hall when a streak of strange light suddenly flashed through. A majestic figure then materialized at the center of the meeting hall.
These leadership figures of Brettel City were startled and completely dumbfounded. Each and every one of those people stared at Han Shuo standing in the middle of the room with disbelief. The heated sounds of discussion abruptly halted.
“An assassin! Seize him!” a young guard standing near the doorway suddenly shrieked as he courageously charged at Han Shuo.
Two shadows suddenly shot out of nowhere. They were none other than Elizabeth and Bollands. The two had been concealing themselves all that while. When they sensed a mighty energy was coming from the meeting hall, they immediately flew out from hiding and ferociously charged at Han Shuo.
However, halfway into their assault, they clearly recognized who the ‘assassin’ was and pulled hard on their brakes. They kowtowed before Han Shuo emotionally. For a moment, Han Shuo did not know what to say as he watched the two tremble to their toes.
When that guard, who Han Shuo didn’t recognize, saw that both Elizabeth and Bollands suddenly kneel before Han Shuo, he thought they had been killed. His heart quivered. However, even when he knew that he would most likely die, he did not withdraw but continued to race towards Han Shuo with his sword that shone with silvery light.
“Stop!” Suddenly, all the leaders of Brettel City inside the hall came to their senses and simultaneously shouted.
This guard was jolted by their sudden command. Before he could even react, Elizabeth’s lightning fast hands had seized him and pushed him down to his knees before Han Shuo together.
“Are you blind or something? How dare you attack the City Lord? Don’t wanna live anymore?” Elizabeth glared and chided this guard.
The guard, however, seemed to have his brain short-circuited for a moment. At a loss, he said, “The City Lord? I thought that Brettel City didn’t have a City Lord?” But when he saw the revere showing in Elizabeth and Bollands’ eyes, as though having been struck by a sudden recollection, his body quivered. His voice slightly trembling, he pleaded, “Please forgive me, my Lord! Please forgive me, my Lord!”
Han Shuo waved his hand without speaking. He scanned each and every one of those inside the meeting hall, starting from Jack and ending with Faulke. He discovered that there indeed had been some changes to these people, but not too much.
