Chapter 964: That Was a Decent Show (1/2)

There were strong yuan energy waves around the Sky Annihilation Formation as well as the secret control chamber. The activation of the former was a sign that a terrifying foe had entered Pandemonium, whereas the latter was a sign that the House of Han members had retreated into the secret chamber due to some extraordinary danger. There was no good reason for the demonic barrier of the secret chamber to activate otherwise. Immediately, he accelerated even more towards Pandemonium.

”Bryan, is there a problem?” Wasir could easily tell something was off about him.

His query caused Han Shuo to slow down slightly. After looking at the energies near Pandemonium again, he took a deep breath to regulate himself, calming his panicking mind. With his mind and soul now still and calm, some thoughts flashed through his mind.

”Something definitely happened at Pandemonium, but the powerful defensive formations I've set up at the secret chamber are still operating. That means the last line of defense is yet to be breached,” he explained calmly, no longer in a rush back. ”I'm sure Dhaka and the rest entered Pandemonium. However, there is no way they'd be able to barge through all the defensive formations there in such a short time. There must be some other force that is forcing my people to flee to the central control chamber, so something is off.”

He of all people knew the power of the defenses best. Not to mention, he had tested out Dhaka and the rest's power during the battle at Misty Sea and didn't think that they would be able to breach all the defenses in such a short time. It was because he was at least that confident about the defenses that he dared to leave for Glacial Peak to save Wasir.

”Perhaps some other enemy infiltrated the place,” Wasir said, given that he believed what Han Shuo said about the defenses of Pandemonium.

”That shouldn't be possible! Nobody can enter Pandemonium that easily unless they're one of us!”

”I suppose we'll see the truth once we get there.”

Han Shuo nodded and was just about to do as Wasir said. All of a sudden, he felt a slight pulse coming from the distance. Immediately, he sent a weak strand of his consciousness out, emanating soul undulations from his body.

”You shall see in a second,” Han Shuo said as he motioned for Wasir to come to a corner of the mountains nearby.

Wasir wondered why Han Shuo seemed completely unhurried despite something going on in Pandemonium and tried to guess the person he was trying to contact. Did he set up some other pawn amongst Dhaka, Dagmar, and Asser? Why would he have anything to do with the three of them?

Just as he let his imagination run wild, a weak light shot out from the dark clouds before landing in front of Han Shuo. It looked like the figure of a person.

”Salas!”

”Wasir!”

The two called out to each other as if they were facing off their nemesis. Ice and lightning energy filled the surroundings, as if they would clash immediately.

”We're all allies!” Han Shuo said, stopping them from acting rashly by charging between them. ”Stay calm, we're allies!”

Both Salas and Wasir weren't aware that they would be working with each other and had almost got into a fight.

”Out of everyone I could've guessed, you weren't even on the list!” Wasir said, his cold expression melting into a plain smile. ”Bryan, you even dragged Salas down. I'm astonished! You truly are terrifying!”

Han Shuo had defeated Salas and took his place in the Fringe, ruining his prospects there. Their grudge should've been irreconcilable by all accounts. Yet, they had actually been working together secretly. If Wasir hadn't seen it himself, he wouldn't have believed it even if others brought him proof.

”I'm also quite surprised. You're someone who wouldn't even submit to Tyre, yet why would you leave Glacial Peak to come here?” Salas looked at Wasir oddly before turning to Han Shuo. ”It's no wonder you were able to firm your hold in the Fringe. It's only after today that I'm truly convinced of your abilities.”

Now, the two Sovereigns of the Fringe expressed their admiration for Han Shuo at the same time.
